Ban on Closed Shop
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Supreme Court today agreed
to review a decision which upheld
Florida's ban on closed union shops.
The ban is contained in an
amendment to Florida's constitu-
tion adopted last fall. A special
three Judge Federal court at Tampa
upheld the amendment.
Appealing from this decision, the
American Federation of Labor told
the Supreme Court that surely the
right to work as nonunion men,
Der is no higher than the right to
work as unionist in the company
of fellow union members"
Attorney General j. Tom Watson
of Florida said the AFL had not
shown that the ban injured any one.
In agreeing to review the decision,
the court said it would limit itself
to consideration of questions as
to the jurisdiction Of the special
three Judge court to hear the case.
The high court also will consider the
special courts authority to act in
the case as court of equity.

Jurisdiction Over

Wonts Labor Department
To Open Units in stotes

BY the Associated Press,

q! tne AssoclateO freSs.
Secretary OF Labor Schwellen-
bach asked Congress today to
empower his department to op-
crate public employment Offices
"in any State which fails or re-
fuses" to operate such Offices in
line with Federal standards.
Secretary Schwellenbach was
witness before Senate Labor SUBJ
committee considering legislation
affecting the future course of the
United States Employment Service.
He appeared one day after SEN
ate Appropriations subcommittee
voted-over administration objec-
tions-to return this service from
Federal to State control promptly.
Four Proposals Offered.
Mr.. Schwellenbach told the sub
committee that "our public employ
ment Offices are carrying the heaviest
work load in their history" He
recommended favorable considera-
ton" of legislation that would:
"O Vest in a single Federal
agency, the Department of Labor,
all Federal functions and RESPONSE
bilities with respect to public en-
ployment Office functions. (Rather
than divide them between the de-
partment and the Social Security
Board.)
"(2) Establish a Federal financing
program for State public employ
ment Office systems, which will be
identical to State unemployment
compensation systems-100 per cent
financing of administrative costs.
"(0 Clarity and amplify the prin-
ciples which shall guide the Secre-
tary of Labor in the promotion of
the Federal-State national system
of public employment Offices.
(4 Authorize the Department of.
Labor to operate public employment
Offices in any State which fails or
refuses to operate such Offices in ac-
cordance with Federal standards"
Disagreement Emphasized.
The Appropriations Subcommit-
tees vote to return the employment
service to the States pointed up
anew congressional disagreement
with the administration on labor
problems.
The vote stipulated that the re-
turn must take effect 100 days after

promptly selected. Sjarifuddin also
was made responsible for all affairs
of the native Peace Preservation
Corps and the police.
Soekarno now will have only
slightly more powers than French
Presidents exercised under the
Third Republic, it was explained.
The governmental change models
the Indonesian cabinet on the Eu-
ropean rather than the American
system The native government
did not previously have a premier.
Declaring the new system would
provide greater division of pow
ers, Sjarifuddin said Soekarno would
continue as the spiritual leader.
The change was decided at a
meeting in Soekarno's home shortly
after the President returned from
an Indonesian Youth Congress rally
at Jogjakarta.

mel, all of whom are believed to have
parachuted when the plane ran low
on fuel last night and was unable to
land because of fog conditions.
At least two passengers OF the
two-engined Beechcraft bound for
the Anacostia Naval Air Station
from Jacksonville, Fla, escaped
drowning in the Potomac River
after bailing out.
The plane was located after an
all-night search by naval and
marine crash crafts, augmented to-
day by battalion of $50 military
police from Fort Belvoir, Va, an
air-sea rescue helicopter from the
Anacostia station and scores of
civilians.
4,500 Search Woods.
The Navy estimated this afternoon
that upward of $500 persons had
been enlisted in the search for the
missing persons over a 30-square-
mile area.
Since much of the area ranging
from Quantico north past Indian
head is nearly inaccessible with
thick-wooded sections and creeks
searchers held out hope that some
of the passengers might be alive but
unable to make their way to safety
With the heavy fog lifting shortly
after noon, the Marine All Station
at Quantico hoped to send up planes
in search of parachutes possibly
visible from the air but cut off from
the view of searching parties on the
ground.

CHUNGKING, Nov. 13.-Gen-
eraliSsimo Chang Kai-shek's S
troops have captured the stra-
tegic rail town of Shanhaikwan
from Chinese Communists, neu-
tral sources reported today.
Shanhaikwan, coastal anchor of
the Great Wall, has been the objec-
tive of government troops seeking
entry into Manchuria. Fighting in
the vicinity began several days ago.
A Chinese Communist spokesman
could not confirm word of Shanhai-
kwan's fall, but he admitted that
the last Communist report said gov
ernment troops were only two-thirds
of a mile from the town.
The spokesmen said the Nation
alists landed four armies at Chin
wangtao, American Marine-guarded
port south of Shanhaikwan, for the
express purpose of taking the town
and then pushing beyond the Great
Wall into Manchuria.
Red Charges Denied.
Meanwhile, American officials
made sweeping denials Of Chinese
Communist charges that the United
States was assisting the National
ist government in excess of its war;
time military commitments.
An American Embassy spokesman
termed completely unfounded the
Communist published report that
China would get a $64, ,000,000 loan
for purchase of munitions from the
United States.
1t. Gen. Albert c. Wedemeyer said
the United States would keep its
wartime contract to equip 80 Chi
nese divisions, but denied Communist
reports that 10 divisions would be
supplied by the United States.
No Information on Commitments.
He said conversations regarding
military aid to China were on a
much higher governmental plane
than his and he had no information
on whether commitments might be
increased.
In Washington Secretary of War
Patterson said, There is no danger
of our troops becoming involved in
civil war in China unless they are
attacked, in which event we may
expect the American troops to react
with vigor and success
The Americans in China, Mr.. Pat
terson stated, are concerned entirely
with disarmament and repatriation
OF Japanese troops and when that
mission is concluded will turn over
their occupied areas to government
forces. n

Palestine Issue
Truman Announces
Agreement to Form
Survey Committee
BY GARNETT d. HORNER.

President Truman today an
nounced establishment of a Joint
Anglo-American committee of
inquiry to study the whole ques-
tion of Jewish immigration into
Palestine and other means of
aiding helpless Jews in Europe
Creation of the joint committee
was suggested by the British gov
ernment, Mr.. Truman said, after it
rejected his recommendation that
100000 Europeans Jews be allowed
early entry into Palestine.
Still Adheres to Views.
Mr.. Truman said he still adhered
to the views expressed In his August
81 letter to British Prime Minister
Attlee.
In that letter President Truman
said the main solution" to the
Jewish problem appeared to lie in
the quick evacuation of as many
Jews as possible to Palestine.
IF 1t is to be effective, such action
should not long be delayed" he told
the British leader.
Meanwhile, in London Foreign
Secretary Ernest Bevin told Com
mons OF the American agreement to
form the committee. but expressed
doubt that Palestine could make
more than contribution to solving
the problem of Jewish migration
from Europe.
August 81 Proposals Rejected.
In a formal statement reviewing
the Anglo-American negotiations
the President said he had acceded to
the British suggestion for creation
OF the committee in the belief that
ut will be of aid in finding a solu-
tion that will be both humane and
Just"
He said the British government
had informed him that it was "not
In position" to adopt his August
81 suggestions because of conditions
In Palestine although it was
deeply concerned with the situa-
ton OF the Jews in Europe"
During subsequent discussions. he
said, the British suggested the Joint
committee under a rotating chair
manship ito examine the whole
question and to make a further re-
view" in the light of that study and
other considerations.
Committees Functions.
Mr.. Truman did not Immediately
name the American members of the
joint committee.
He said its functions, as agreed
on by the two governments, will
be to:
/. Examine political, economic and
social conditions in Palestine as
they bear upon the problem of
Jewish immigration"
2. Examine the position of the
Jews in European countries where
they have been the victims of Nazj
and Fascist persecution.
8. Hear the views of competent
witnesses and to consult repre-
sentative Arabs and Jews"
4. Make recommendations to the
two governments to meet immediate
needs either by remedial action in
Europe or by providing facilities for
Jewish immigration to countries
outside of Europe.
Hopes for Speed.
THE situation faced by displaced
Jews in Europe during the coming
winter allows no delay in this mat
ter" Mr.. Truman declared. "I hope
the committee will be able to ac-
complish its important task with
the greatest speed"
He said establishment of the
committee will make possible "a
prompt examination of questions
related to the rate of current immi-
grafton into Palestine and the abb
sorptive capacity of the country"

today, Mr.. Truman made public the
