CIO PRESIDENT
 MURRAY AROUSED
He Claims Scandal Mon. gers Try to Start Dis.
 sensiOn in Their Ranks

Washington, June 17 -(UP)- President Philip Murray of the Con- gress Of Industrial Organizations charged today that scandal mon- gers" were trying to promote in- ternal dissension in his organiZa- ton, and he denied rumors that any CIo Red purge" was impending.
 He implied that he would con- tinue to crack down on unionists leading "outlaw" strikes in defense industries, however.
 In 0 letter to all CIO officers and locals, Murray promised that "con- stitiutional controls" would be ap. piled to outlaw" strikes to insure adherence to CIO policies. He add ca, however, that he would not tolerate attempts to divert our ef- forts" to lends foreign to collective bargaining and the advancement of labor's interests"
 Murray's letter was m answer to reports that one result of the un- authorized strike at the North American Aviation company plant at Inglewood, Calf, would be a purge" of radical CIO leaders. The North American strike leaders have been suspended. Murray de- nounced the North American strike, but he also denounced the governments use of the army to reopen the plant.
 Another repercusslon of the North American strike came last night when President R. J. Thomas of the United Automobile Workers tClO) sharply rebuked Milton Kaufman, American Newspaper Guild executive vice-president, for "presumptious and completely un- warranted interference" in JAW CIO affairs.
 The local JAW called the strike at Inglewood, but Thomas con- demned 1t as unauthorized. Thomas accused Kaufman of encouraging irresponsible action" by sending teiegrams to Guild locals urging that they support the North Amer. ican strike.

CRIMINAL FREED ITO HELP DEFENSE
Harry R. Kersten Has an Invention That Will Be
 Aid to Govt.

Los Angeles, June 17 --(UP)-- Harry R. Kersten, 4l, an habitual criminal with four convictions on his record and an untried robbery charge against him, was free on bond today, to work on an inven- ton for silencing airplane propel- lors.
 California Institute of Technology scientists and John Wagner, chief test pilot for the Vultee Aircraft company, told authorities that Kerr stems idea was sound, and that he should develop 1t. The Axiom corn- pany of Los Angeles, which makes airplane parts, promised to pro- vide laboratory and pay for his experiments.
 Kersten believes an airplane pro- pellor should be silenced at the hub, rather than in the blades. While he was in Folsom prison serving Q three-year term, he made a model of Q silent" hub, which he submitted to the government. He said 1t would take him six weeks to make another model for scien- tif1c tests.
 Wagner said Kersten's invention, If successful, would be "a valuable asset" to defense.
 It would make American air- planes almost silent, able to attack without having their presence bee trayed by detectors Engineers, 1t was said, can make plane motors as silent as the motors of automobiles. But they have never been able to silence the roar of Q propeller.
 Kersten was released In $500 bond until September, when his trial Is set. If he is convicted, he faces a life term as a five time loser" un- der the habitual criminal act.
 Charles B. Hazelhurst, Kersten's attorney, said his lanky client, is @ "happy-go-lucky inventor, whose misfortunes arose from the fact some friend gave him @ few drinks and under their influence he would commit some offense."
 '"The total of all the money he ever took would not be more than $37," Hazelhurst said.

 VACATION TIME|
Only ScOviII Company Ex.
 pected to Remain on !. Normal Schedule

Thousands of Waterbury factory workers will enjoy . weeks vaca- tion during the period that takes in the last two days of June and Che first part of July. The only rna- for plant to continue normal opera tions that week will be the Scovill Manufacturing Company, which has the largest total of defense con. tracts Of any plant here.
 Both the American Brass Com- pal1y and the Chase Brass and Cop per Company will virtually close down for the week. The only dee partments kept open will be those which are working on vitally irn- portant defense contracts; other production will be held up during the week. Many smaller factories will also give their employees vaca- tion with pay during the same week.
 Early reports indicate that there wiI be even more difiiculty than last year In renting cottages at seashore and lake resorts. Almost all local factories were closed down during the first week of July last year and cottages were at Q premium.
 In several of the smaller plants, units of the 0. I. o. International Union of Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers have refused to accept an extra weeks pay in lieu of vacations and have insisted on the time of. At the scovill Company plant, where workers are for the most part un- organized, an extra weeks pay will ns given to workers. The Chase Company will allow employees who Hre obliged to work during vacation week their choice of an extra weeks pay or the taking of e weeks vaca- tion later in the season. It Is be- iieved that the American Brass Company will follow the same policy.
