LABOR AT SAN FRANCISCO

To those who watched suave Ed
Stettinius operate behind closed
doors at San Francisco the other
day, it looked as if he had taken
some political lessons from Boss
Hague of Jersey City or Boss Han
negan of st. Louis. He certainly
used strong-arm political tactics
to run rough-shod over the opposi
ton.
1t all started when Stettinius and
Senator Vandenberg learned that
the Conferences Social and Eco
nomic Commission had voted 81 to
to invite the World Trade Union
Conference into the United Ma
tions as permanent observers
along with the International Labor
Office. the Hot Springs Food Con-
ference, UNRRA, and other groups.
The World Trade Union Conference
represents $4,000 900 organized work
ers throughout the world including
the CLIO in this country, but not
the AFL.
AS soon as Stettinius heard about
the proposed invitation to the
World Trade Union, he had Sec
rotary General OF the Conference
Alger Hiss call ar emergency meet
ing of the powerful Steering Com
mittee.
Stettinius also frantically phoned
Anthony Eden, asked him TO ap-
pear at the Steering Committee in
person and vote to reverse the
earlier action of the British dele
CATION which had favored admitting
the Trade Union Stettinius also
phoned Canadian Prime Minister
Mackenzie King, demanded that he
support the u. S. position Stet-

delegation, and tried to get him
to go along.

CHINA BACKFIRES

For two hours the debate ragged
Wellington Koo surprised Stettinius
by speaking in favor of letting
labor sit in as an observer. Koo
was supported by Soviet Ambassa-
dor Gromyko. Then Bidault arose,
said that French labor was back
ing the new organization and that
the action of the U. S. delegation
was most unusual. Prime Minister
Peter Fraser of New Zealand
shared the French view.
Finally, Stettinius raped the
gavel, called for vote on the
Belgian resolution to reverse the
Social and Economic Commission
and refuse labor an observers seat
ganization. He called up the Bel
gian resolution though three other
resolutions taking the opposite view
had been introduced first. Even
Wellington Koo's resolution to refer
the matter back to the original
committee was brushed aside.
AS usual, most of the Latin Am
orleans came to Stettinius' support,
and he won. The vote was 80 to 49,
But among those voting against
the U. S. A. were China, the three
Russian delegations, France, Aus
tralia, New Zealand, Greece, Yugo-
slavia, Mexico and Czechoslovakia.
Hastily Stettinius adjourned the
meeting, ducked out of the door
without calling up the other point
on the agenda.

Hederman, Destroyer Commander, from Washington, D. c.
 We identified them as merch- antmen trying to sneak out of the bay and escape the carrier raids.
 q know we sank two of them and possibly a third The rest turned around and steamed farther back into the bay.
 By that time the moon was out and the weather was absolutely clear, so we decided it was time to get out of there, so we broke off the action.
 The enemy ships returned our fire but it seemed to be mostly ack-ack, so maybe they thought they were being attacked by planes"
 The high speed sweep carried the destroyers into waters not pre- viously penetrated by American surface craft. They got just inside the mouth of Tokyo Bay. The or iginal plan called for an even deeper penetration, but the fringe of a typhoon slowed down the squadron and it didn't have enough time to continue the sortie.

CHARGE OF
 TREASON IS
 HURLED OUT
Former French Premier Vjndi(tive as Witness
 at Petain Trial
By RELMAN MORN fASsociated Press Correspondcnb

PARIS, July 27-A state witness testified under cross s-examination today that Marshal Petain made an cleventh-hour attempt to save French Indo- China from Japanese aggression by changing Governor Generals.
 The witness, Charles Roux, who was Secretary General in the For oign Ministry, testified earlier that while France was falling, Premier Paul Reynaud asked President Roosevelt to send the U. $. Fleet into action against Germany, but not American troops.
 Roux was called after Former Premier Leon Blum accused Petain of treason and said with emotion that the 89-year-old defendant gave himself powers which may be compared to those of jungle sovereign.
 Roux's testimony was the most favorable for Petain in. the five day trial. He said Petain's effort to save the rich Oriental colony consisted of removing Gen. Georges Catroux as Governor General be- cause he was favorable to Japa- nese demands, in favor of Rear Adm. Jean DecouX.
 When he had finished, the Mar shal said he agreed with every thing said Roux shook hands with Petain.
 PARIS, July 27.--Leon Blum, who was French Premier in years of the popular front before the war, hurl- cd the charge of treason" at Mar shal Petain today and said the old soldier gave himself powers which may he compared to those of a jungle sovereign"
 Petain is on trial for his life, charged with intelligence with the enemy and plotting against the se- curity of France.
 Charles Roux, diplomat who fol- lowed Blum to the stand, said that when France was falling in June, 1940, Petains' predecessor, Paul Ray maud, appealed to President Roose- welt and suggested that the Ameri- can fleet come into action"
 Blum. released only few weeks ago from German detention, told the High Court of Justice on this fifth day of the trial.
 The people of France, with the foundations of the nation gone, ter rorized and overwhelmed, looked for reinsurance. Petain told them with all the authority of his past that the armistice was not dishonorable. I call that treason"
 Questioned whether Petin was reasonable in giving himself dic- tatorial powers, Blum said
 He gave himself powers which may be compared to those of a jungle sovereign. He committed an odious abuse of confidence.
 Tt is certain that at Vichy, we had only Pierre Laval before us He led all the maneuvers. Whether he acted on orders of the Marshal, I don't know"
