O'Connor, however, nor have his OPP
ponents agreed on any person they
would like to see succeed him.
Old guard restiveness against
the O'Conor reign broke in the
press with the announcement OF
the resignation of Richard Allen,
a veteran Of the organization, as
vice chairman.
A main subject of controversy was
an agreement-not made by Mr.
O'Connor but by the late Norman
Davis-under which labor unions
were paid expenses to solicit funds
from their organizations for the
Red Gross. How one looks at this
depends upon where one sits. Tc

To the liberal faction it is an

in Its operations among people hith-

The Red Cross old guard is dole
fully agreeing that they have ap-
parently lost In their campaign to
unhorse Basil O'Connor, President
Roosevelt's ex-law partner, as ma
tional chairman.
Dispatches from Paris that Mr.
o'Connor had accepted election as
chairman OF the Board of Cover
nors of the League of Red Cross
Societies indicated, in their opinion
that he had received White House
assurances Of reappointment to
his post here. These sources ex-
plain that such an honor goes to
the man personally and not to the
chairman of the American Red
Cross, whoever he may be.
They do not believe Mr.. O'Connor
would have accepted without prior
assurances that it would not be an
empty honor within a fortnight
when his present term as national
chairman expires. Should he not
be reappointed. the league would
have to meet again to choose an
other head.
If the dissenters are right. it is
the death of hope for George Allen

aspired to the pleasant post.

Senate Atomic 6roup
Sharply Divided on
Sharing Of Secrets
Mcmahon Is Chuirmun
Of Committee TO Sift
Arguments on Control
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A newly appointed Senate
Committee on Atomic Energy
will settle down next week to
the task of deciding whether the
secret of the atomic bomb should
be shared with other nations.
Senator Mcmahon, Democrat, of
Connecticut, a freshman member
was appointed chairman by Senator
McKellar, Democrat, of Tennessee,
Senate President pro tempore.
Members older in point of service
had sought the position, but Senator
McKellar adhered to tradition by
appointing as chairman the man
who first proposed the committee.
Other Democrats named to the
11-man committee were Senators
Johnson of Colorado. Connally of
Texas, Russell of Georgia, Byrd of
Virginia and Tydings of Maryland.
Republicans selected were Sen
ators Vandenberg of Michigan, Mil
likin of Colorado, Austin of Ver-
mont, Hickenlooper of Iowa and
Hart of Connecticut
Will First Consider Control.
First bill to be considered by the
group will be an administration
measure to set up commission for
domestic development and control
of nuclear energy.
But Chairman Mcmahon and
other members left no doubt that
the question of letting other nations
in on the atomic bomb secret over
shadows all other considerations.
A decision on what to do about
the atomic bomb will influence
greatly the nuclear energy legisla-
ton which the committee eventually
sends to the Senate.
That the committee is as far from
being in agreement on the bomb
secret as are scientists, diplomats
and military leaders is indicated by
these views:
Senator McMahon-Share the Sc
cret with nations which agree to let
the United States in on their secret
weapons
Senator Johnson-Keep the secret
and improve the bomb.
Others Want Secret Kept.
Senators Connally and Byrd
Keep the secret.

20 Railroads Offer
To Buy Pullman Co.
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Oct. 27.-Twenty rail-
roads, representing more than 80
per cent of the sleeping car service
in the United States, today made an
offer to Pullman, Inc, to buy all the
capital stock of Pullman Co., the
sleeping car service to be disposed
OF under a court order.
The plan would enable all rail-
roads to acquire ownership of Sleep
ing cars regularly assigned to their
lines and permit each railroad ulti-
mately to conduct its own sleeping
car operations with its own forces,
or to contract for the performance
OF such services; also to acquire an
interest in a pool of sleeping cars
from which they would draw to meet
seasonal demands and special move
ments.
The offer was submitted to D. A.
Crawford, president of Pullman,
Inc, in letter from w. r. Place,
vice president of the New York Cen
trail System, acting as agent on be-
half of the group of railroads max
ing the offer.
The offer was made in person at
Chicago by Fred G. Gurley, presi-
dent of the Santa Fe Railroad Sys-
tenn, one of three executives desig-
mated by the buying group of rail-
roads as a committee to act in con-
summating the purchase of Pullman
stock, subject to approval of the
court.

The opinion here is that detailed

none OF the controversial points
concerning Italy would be touched

CHUNGKING, Oct. 27.-A feel
ing of distinct uneaSiness pre-
vailed in Chungking today about
Russia's China policy, as in
dicated by Moscow's reported
refusal to allow Chinese govern
ment troops to land at Dairen
and Port Arthur.
This alleged refusal was consi-
dered by some here an open viola
ton of Chinese sovereignty over
Manchuria, specifically acknowl-
edged by Russia in the recent Sino-
Soviet pact.
Official Chinese quarters showed
pronounced reticence in discussing
Sino-Soviet relations, in obvious
fear of incurring Moscow's displeas-
ure, but strong undercurrents of re-
sentiment were not difficult to trace
Chinese circles were perturbed
about the alleged Russian transfer
of much of Manchuria's movable
wealth, which from testimony of
reputable witnesses was accepted
here as fact.
Junior officials assigned to posts
in Manchuria privately confided to
friends that all Chinese appointees
there required tacit if not explicit
approval of Soviet authorities.
Communist Ties Not Cut.
Although the Sino-Soviet pact
provided that Russian material aid
to China be made through the Gen.
trail Government, different quarters
here claimed this clause was not
being fulfilled, and they complained
that Moscow had not severed all
ties with Chinese Communist.
The Communists, who at first
seemed awed by the Sino-Soviet
pact and anxious for agreement with
Chungking, lately have reassumed q
defiant attitude as evidenced in re-
peated accusations that Central
Government troops provoked clashes
in different parts of the country.
Chinese press reports limited that
under direct or indirect Russian
pressure, China might be forced to
establish several autonomous" re-
gions in Sinkiang Province, includ-
ing one for the area inhabited by

Steel Workers Union
Seeking Strike Vote
OF 100000 Employees
Murray Says Petitions
Will Be Reody No
Later Than Monday
BY the Associated Press.

| By the Associated Press.
The CIO United Steel Workers
today prepared for industry
wide, National Labor Relations
Board strike votes by 100000 en-
ployes in 1853 steel, aluminium and
iron ore plants-its answer to
refusal of major steel COM
panies to grant a s2-a-day wage
increase.
Philip Murray, president OF the
steel workers and the CIO, said in
Pittsburgh he hoped to have the
strike vote petitions in the hands
of the NLRB, War Labor Board and
the Secretary of Labor no later
than Monday"
He cautioned union members
against any premature strike action,
saying "it will be time enough to
consider using the strike weapon
after the strike votes are taken and
the proper steps taken under the
constitution of the union"
Officers Empowered to Act.
Mr.. Murray's announcement of the
vote followed action by the unions
175-man Wage Policy Committee,
authorizing their officers to take
whatever action they deemed neces-
sary" toward getting the wage
| increase.
United States Steel rejected the
union wage demand Tuesday.
Spokesman said wages could not be
raised at this time because Of the
existing ceiling prices for steel
products, together with the Gov
ernment's wage sterilization policy"
The proposed strike vote was an
nounced as final tabulations in the
second strike ballot of the automo-
bile industry's big Three" showed
workers in Chrysler Corp. plants
favored work stoppage. In SINH
lar poll, employees of General Mo-
tors also voted in favor of a strike.
The results were regarded by CIO
United Automobile Workers lead
ers as a mandate" to press de-
mands for 80 per cent raise in
pay. Workers at Ford Motor Co.
will ballot on the same issue on
November Z.
| In Detroit, Walter P. Reuther,
| CIO-UAW vice president, said he
was still hopeful of settling the wage
issue with General Motors but as
serted the union would stand firm
on its demand, unless General
Motors proves its claim of inability
to mees the demand with cost fac
tors and other kinds of figures" The
wage conferences have been ad-
journed indefinitely.
Movie Picketing Ends.
In the vote by 22,304 of more than
5000 eligible Chrysler employees,
1880 favored a strike, 2,359 opposed
and rs votes were voided. General
Motors results showed 70,853 favor
ing a stoppage to 12,438 against.
About 100000 eligible employees did
not vote.
Prospects were brighter today in
the long strike of movie workers in
Hollywood as producers and union
leaders agreed over the strike set
tlement terms which were an
nounced earlier this week in Gin
cinnati by the AFL Executive Com
mittee.
