...Detroit, C.I.O. President Walter Reuther, who wants a Democratic Congress elected in November and also wants a guaranteed annual wage written into new labor contracts, has been loudly crying crisis. Last week Guy Nunn, a radio commentator sponsored by Reuther's United Automobile Workers, spoke of "bread lines," "soup kitchens," and "long lines of unemployed" in Detroit.
