Frey, secretary of the Resolu-

problem "voiced no expression of
approval for what the AFL has
done for Negroes"
The conventions action earlier

over the strong objection of John
Marchiando, newly elected presi-
dent of the AFL's Progressive
Mine Workers.
In urging adoption of the COM

had been bitterly attacked by
Lewis in the past but was will

He said he was willing to
