Bitter Struggle Wosed by Rishtists To Rid Toint

Atlantic City. N. J.. Nov. l6-tUP) -cIo. President Philip Murray was caught today in the middle of bitter behind-the-sceneS struggle by pow erful right wing union leaders seek ing to rid the cI.o. Of q comman- ist taint.
 He was due to receive a report from a special six-man committee that f has been unable to reach e deal on procedure for ridcing the cI.o. of Communist influence and placing the next move up to Murray.
 Murray appointed the committed late yesterday in a last-ditch effort to obtain a painless sarrendr by the Communist forces. The committees consists of presidents Walter Reuth- CT, United Auto Workers; Emil Rieve, Textile Workers Union. and Milton Murray. American Newspaper Guild, all right wingerS: Michael Quill, Transport Workers Union: Ahram F1exer, United Public Workers, and Ben Gold. International Fur Work CTS, all left-wingers.
 A three-hour committee meeting last night resulted in deadlock as the left-wingers solidly resisted every demand of the right-wineerS that the pro-Comlnunists cease their efforts bo plunge the c.IO. into class warfare and lead it astray from trade union ooJectives.
 One cIO. leader predicted that unless the executive board can re- solve the conflict. the battle will ex- plode on the floor of the convention beginning Monday. He said there ap- peared little doubt but that Murray would give a go-ahead signal for ail- out Communist drive if no deal is made.
 Right-wing leaders appeared de- termined 10 force the pro-comEnun' ist elements to knuclkle under or gel out of the CIO.. one informant said Only c few c.IO. leaders are mem. bers os the Communist Party and they control unions with about 800. I w Os AAAN oAA8ASas AsAeAN @a~sN ~sNN~f- 900 CI.O. members.
 Murray's appointment of the six man committee came as 6 slrpriss after he pleaded in the executive board for a united front to win nev wage increases. He cited publishes statements of industrialiSts and con- gresSrnen as evidence that the c.I!o must be united to engage in what hs said would be it's toughest fight fol wage gains and against labor legis' latiye curhs.
 The board unanimously voted hin power to restrict the activities o pros Communist individuals in stat' and industrial union councils. Un' der new rules he can take steps q expel council officials or member who make statements or engage II activities contrary to national cI.o policy.

 If the united States and Great Britain on one side and the Soviet Union on the other can agree on that today, the Italian, Balkan and Finnish peace treaties should be ready for signing in the near fu- ture,
 If they fail to agree, the four ministers probably will pack their bags at an early date and 90 home, leaving Hitler's former satellites in a technical state of war with the Allies for an indefinite period.

DEHYDRoToKS

California prune growers have gone for cooperative dehydratcrs in big way by investing more than Sl 1000 1000 in 10 seasonal capacity of some 43 1000 tons of green fruit--about l/lo of the state's annual prune producti on.
 The plants have all been built during the last II years since growers tcok hold of the idea conceived by the late Frank A. Randall, Napa County field repres entative of the California Prune and apricot Crow CTS ASSOC iati on.
 The first definite action was taken in 1855, whe 46 growers net to discuss pool ing original inves tnent costs to set up 6 detydrating plant. A committee study of organization and financing plans re- suited in formal action 6 months later to start 8 co-op dryer and, after t he Bank for Cooperatives indicated it's willingness to provide half the financ ing, it was de- ctded to buy a.,stte fer the dehydrator ad joining the associe ietions Napa plant.
 htrty-four growers originally signed membership contracts, agreeing to deliver 5G0 dry tons of fruit and to pay an tni- tia1 $50 per dry ton toward building the plant. "hen seven members agreed to pay. their capital inves tment charges in full, only $5OOo in borrowed funds was needed to begin construc t ion at once. A contract was let and the building, estimated tc cost $l5 1000 was cons tructed for $l4 937.
The Valley settler., 1946-07-25

The pionee ering. Napa plant has been expand ing steadily s ince. "ith an II year record of having dried nearly 36, ,oOo? green tons of prunes, it now has nine tunnels, large receiving platform, fruit sprsader and washer, tray washer, hydraulic lifts and ample trackege and storage facilities. Today it represents an expenditure of $67 ,237, of which $5ooO was pent in pre- paration for its current season through construction of a covered storage area and raising of the old wa rehouse for pal letized storage.
 Once the Napa plant was going full blast, ether assoc iati on members followed suit. C. operative dehydra tor associations were formed at Healdsburg and Campbell in 1858. The Healdsburg dryer handles around 20Oo to 5000 green tons Of fruit year and the Campbell plant, largest in the world, has a capacity of about l2 ,5OO tons. None of the cooperative dryers is the cperty of the califernia Prune and april cot Growers association. Each dryer is owned and controlled wholly by group of growers Wnc are members of a local unit of the ociation.
 The $500 iaticn board of direc tors has authorized setting up of a dhydratton advisory committee to study and evaluate the experiences of cooperative dryers now in operation and to advise new groups on cons truction and operation of dehydraticn plants.
 The dehydreting plants have been found much more satisfac tory than the former dry-yard methods. The grower can deliver his product and then attend to his orchards without delay often caused by dry-yard tasks

MEXICO CITY, D. F.. Dec. 90
Diego Rivera, Mexico's first painter,
whose revolutionary interpretations
are world renowned. now views his
work as an expression Of a past era.
In fact the 60-year-old artist, ap-
proves today's Mexican art trend
which Is not inspired by revolution
ary class-consciousness.
"An artist must be Of his time, !"
says the muralist MY generation
was in the midst of the struggle, so
it was inevitable that its work should
express it.
"The new generation of Mexican
artists is the first to be born in
time of peace"
The Americas should develop an
art tradition indigenous to the new
world, Rivera believes.
Mexico itself has 30 or 40 young
artists who will carry on its new art
tradition with distinction, he says.
But he feels that the people of
| the United States have so far failed
to recognize the importance of ma

There are many young artists in

For her high-born pupils, Mrs.

For one hour a week Akihito Is
a member of Mrs. Winnings regular
English language class, which she
says sis conducted along entirely
democratic lines" For an addi-
tional hour she tutors the prince
privately. They converse entirely
in English, which she says neces-
sarily is still quite elementary"
Even so, Akihito is more ad-
vanced than his fellow-pupils as a
result of this extra hours instruc-
ton and the tutoring he gets from
an Englishman and an English
speaking japanese to broaden his
"feel" for the language.
Mrs. vining says all her students
are particularly interested in pic
ture books which she brought from
America. At present they are learn
ing the English captions under

Akihito lives in a special house
