The plan already has been sub
mitted to the government but has
not been approved.
The four-day conference prom
ised to be one of the most con-
troversial in the party's history.
Some party members were in open
rebellion against the political truce
and expressed dissatisfaction with
the alleged inability of labor cab
met members to oppose conserva-
tives on such issues as fuel ration
ing, and the control Of mines, rail-
ways and shipping.
Labor extremists were demanding
the opening of a second front" In
Europe and removal of the ban on
the Daily Worker, communist news
paper, to promote national unity.
The executive committee deleted
from the Agenda, to the annoyance
of many delegates, three resolutions
inviting Sir Stafford Cripps anc
other expelled laborites to rejoin the
party. They were declared out o.

Strabolgi's demand for withdraw

It followed an appeal by Deputy
Prime Minister Clement r. Attlee
for full cooperation with the other
parties for the duration.

BOB TELLER MUST
WORK FOR NAVY
Must Spend Less Time as
Pitcher, More as Navy
Instructor

Chicago, May rs (UP) - Bob
Teller, former Cleveland pitching
star, appeared slated today for more
work as Navy athletic instructor
and less as baseball attraction.
Teller was scheduled to pitch here
yesterday for Dizzy Deans lal-star
team of former Major league players
now In the armed forces. He tele-
graphed Dean that the Navy had
ordered him to report to Newport
r. T., Immediately.
The order was regarded as one
of a number of official moves to
refute charges that name" athletes
received favored treatment in the
armed forces.
Teller previously had been noti-
fled that he would be transferred
from the Norfolk, Va, station
which has a strong baseball team
to Newport, which has no diamond
squad. It was believed Teller wei.
coined the move, to relieve pressure
on him for public appearances.
Without Teller, the all-stars
bowed to the Kansas City Monarchs,
3to |, before a crowd of 29,775 at
Wrigley Field.

S. HI. ID. TO ACT AS UNIT FOR
HOME DEFENSE

Governor John Bricker. state
chairman for the Ohio Civilian De-
Tense Corps, has made strides in
the past three months in organizing g
Ohio for home defense
In order to operate with the
greatest efficiency, should trouble
arise. the governor has designated
the highway department to act as
a unit in defense work. The high
way department represents the
largest single unit in the state with
1O0% distribution over the state,
which can be modified in an
hours notice, with from so to 100
men in each county together with
from Is to 25 trucks and other
road machinery, which can be NOV
ed to the scene of any disaster.
Defense plants, power plants,
railroads, bridges, dams and reser-
voirs together with the system of
roads in Ohio all are important to
home defense and must be protect
ed, and means of quick repair to
damage done be always at hand.
The highway department with it's
engineering force can and will play
definite part in this work.
