Mrs. Elaine Worthington, widow of
John H. Worthington, Army warrant

fall at Rehoboth, Del, is to have
exclusive custody of her 6-vear-old
son, Robert, for the next three
months, with the child's grand

mother would be allowed to see the
boy.
The child has been in custody of
the grandmother. The boys mother
brought a habeas corpus proceeding

l2-(R-After mulling over a
number of resolutions today,
delegates to the United Automo-
bile Workes (CIO) Ninth annual
convention looked forward to
tonight's address by Secretary Of
t. Interior Harold l.. Ickes.
The speech will be broadcast
over a National radio hookup
from the Convention Hall. Shar-
ing the speakers platform will
be Bishop Francis j. Haas Of
Grand Rapids, former chairman
of the Presidents fair employ
ment practises committee.
In a keynote address yester-
day union President r. j.
Thomas declared that service
men he talked to during his re-
cent trip overseas heatily agreed
with him when he said he favor
ed uninterrupted production in
wartime, but his audience was
less unanimous. A loud volley
of booes from some local lead
ers who favor abandonment of
the no-strike pledge contrasted
sharply with cheers.
Turning to politics, Thomas
referred to Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey as 1.-The candidate to big
business and the mouthpiece of

ey's adviser on foreign affairs,

proposal which provides for
election of Union officers at the

Truck Driver Finds
Many Willing Aides

VAN DYKE - When a truck
driver accidentally runs his
heavy vehicle into a deep ditch,
he seldom finds so many Good
Samaritans willing to help as
did a driver on Van Dyke north
of 15-Mile road Monday after
noon.
Possibly the reason was that
the truck was heavily loaded
with cases of beer!
State Police reported that the
drivers effort to gun" the
heavy vehicle from the ditch
were aided by large crowd of
bystanders who repeatedly Of
fered to "lighten the load" by
removing a few cases of beer.
Several who tried to purchase
a case were disappointed.
The truck was forced into the
ditch when it commenced sway
ing after turning quickly to
avoid a private automobile.

UNIV Convention
Opens Today

CINCINNATI, Sept. 12-P)-
The United Mine Workers of
America opens its biennial con-
vention today with the perennial
issue of district self-government
and national politics the livliest
topics awaiting the considera-
ton of more than $500 delegates.
UNIV President John l.. Lewis
was set to lambaSt the admins
tration under such subtitleS as
wage controls and labor dis
unity, but whether he would 60
so far as TO seek a convention
endorsement of the Republican
Presidential candidate was
question no one could, or would,
answer.
A disorderly climax to a eau
Gus of autonomy forces last night
heralded a convention fight on
that issue. Ray Edmundson, a
Lewis appointee for nine years
in the Illinois district presidency
and now a candidate for the
UNIV presidency against Lewis,
called the caucus.
BY the time the scuffling,
punching and general disorder
subsidized, Edmundson had van
iShed, Lewis supporter was in
the chair and the survivors were
u n g 10 anti-Edmundson
speakers VINO wanted TO know
where the autonomy forces were
getting their campaign money.
Caucus forces lost control when
two Lewis supporters leapt upon
a, platform table and insisted on
addressing the crowd.
Edmundson made a coatless
exit from the melee and was
succeeded in the chair by Bill
Blizzard, Charleston, w. Va,
adherent of Lewis, abetted by
Joseph Yablonski of California,
Pa.
The Illinois leaders creden-
tials and those of three other
delegates from the same Spring
field local union-LeWis' own
local-are under protest. The
challengers contend that the
method of election violated con-
stitutional requirements.
Edmundson is not making a
major issue of his candidacy
against Lewis. The miners do not
elect in convention anyway, but
vote by referendum in Deem
Der.
The autonomy movement is
seeking the election of all Off
GERS in the 81 divisions of the
UNIV. Only ten have full auto
nomous rights. The Edmunson
forces contend that $4,000 of
the unions $4,000 members are
governed by Lewis appointees.
Lewis contends that complete
autonomy is divisive and there

and on another occasion for six
hours concerning conditions in
Germany.
Won Trott saw number of
Allied representatives, but made
no contact with the Russians, the
informant declared.
The Berlin radio asserted yes
terday that Won Trott, former
secretary in the German foreign
office, had used business trips to
Stockholm to contact enemy
powers"
The informant said he thought
perhaps the impressions which
Won Trott obtained here might
have resulted in an "overhasty
move" on the part of the anti
Hitler plotters.
He added that organized op-
position to the Nazis had been
hard hit by the purge which fol-
lowed, but said there still are
centers of opposition which may
be important when collapse and
occupation comes"
While here, Won Trott was
said to have expressed the view
that the opposition movement in
Germany should have some as
surances that the Germans
would be granted minimum
possibilities of living after the
war"
The formula of unconditional
surrender, Won Trott said, is
sterile and its effect harmful
on the opposition movement"
the informant declared.
