Walter Reuther's latest salvo against the automobile makers is to accuse them of planning to step up production this fall, create an exaggerated impression of prosperity, and thus help the Republicans in the election. THE COMPANIES HAVE REPLIED THAT THE CHARGE IS IRRESPONSIBLE NONSENSE, THAT THEIR FALL PRODUCTION SCHEDULES ARE BASED ONLY ON EXPECTED SALES, AND THAT NO SANE MANAGEMENT WOULD RISK SO EXPENSIVE A POLITICAL GAMBLE.

(Continued from Page 1)
This is a logical reply, but the most convincing evidence of Mr. Reuther's demagoguery is in his own words. He said that the present situation "seems to present a tragic parallel with that of 1954," when, he said, fall production was stepped up because of the congressional election.
