TRUMAN SAYS YES TO ANTI
POLL TAX BILL

President Truman today reaffirmed
his support of the federal anti-poll
tax bill, HR 7, in a prepared state
ment which he handed to the press
when asked to clarity his position on
poll tax repeal. The question arose
at his press conference, the first since
he had told a teen-age questioner in
Chicago last Saturday that the states
would have to work out poll tax re-
peal themselves.
President Truman said: 81 have
not changed my position on federal
anti-poll tax legislation. I am still
in favor of federal legislation. l vot-
ed for cloture on this issue in the
Senate and I would do so again if
were a Senator As Senator the
President never had an opportunity to
vote on the bill itself because it was
always killed by filibuster of South
Iern Democrats. His significant refer
ence to cloture emphasized Senator
Claude Peppers recent statement, "a
vote against cloture is a vote for the
poll tax"

Thus far. at least, the mine owners

the slowly developing struggle be-
tween Lewis and the Government.
What Mr.. Lewis specific demands
will be remain to be seen. He only
hinted at them in requesting that
Mr.. Krug reopen the contract

Most Government officials think,
however, he will seek a cut In the

little or no loss in take-home pay.
For the full 81 hours, that Is $500,
but the average bituminous miner
is working only 42.4 hours weekly.
and making $62.37, the Bureau Of
Labor Statistics reported in August.
When Mr.. Krug and Mr. Lewis
get together, possibly with Recon-
version Director John r. Steelman,
they may decide to call in the coal
operators and try again to take the
Government out of the mining busi-
ness.
The last negotiations with the
operators in September were re-
cessed in disagreement over terms of
the Krug-Lewis pact.
The National Coal Association,
in statement yesterday, cautioned
against any further pay concessions
to Mr.. Lewis, contending that added
labor costs would price bituminous
coal out of the market and that
thousands of miners thereby would
lose their jobs.

Police Seek Legal Right
To Dissolve CoIumbians
By the Associoted Press

ATLANTA, Nov. 4.-The Atlanta
Police Department sought legal
authority today to support its an
nounced campaign to dissolve the
anti Negro order known as Column
bians, Inc.
AS the first step. Police Chief
M. A. Hornsby said a complete file
on the organizations activities
would be given to the city attorney.
He also said he would ask City
Council for immediate passage OF
legislation to revoke the Column
bans charter. If present ordinances
do not permit such action.
Chief Hornsby expressed belief
that the red lightning flash shoulder
insignia of the Columbians was
copied from that of a German youth
organization-"Bei Uns IN Deutsch-
land Chief Hornsby pointed to a
German propaganda booklet on his
desk which he said was received by
mail in 1888 describing the German
youth organization
1t showed a lightning flash insignia
and the police chief said it differed
from the Columbians insignia only
in that it had two prongs and the
Columbians three. Il believe it was
copied" he said.
Meanwhile, one of four members
of the order arrested Saturday on
charges of "inciting a riot" re-

Gen. Clay Explores
Expansion Of German
Industrial Capacity
BY the Associated Press

BERLIN, Nov. 4.-American and
Russian occupation authorities are
discussing the possibility of increas-
ing Germany's level of industrial
capacity to provide some repara-
tions out of current production, 1t.
Gen. Lucius D. Clay said today.
Gen. Clay, deputy United States
military governor, told news con-
ference he was discussing this sub
ject with his Soviet opposite, Mar
shall VASTLY D. Sokolovsky, but
only informally and without any
authority to make commitments.
Gen. Clay indicated he expected
this issue to come before the meet
ing of the Four Power Foreign
Ministers Council opening today in
New York. He is scheduled to leave
Berlin November 10 to consult with
Secretary of State Byrnes.
Russians Obtaining Goods.
The Russians have been taking
huge deliveries of finished products
from the factories in their zone of
Germany a practice which Mr..
Byrnes criticized in his Stuttgart
speech.
The American position has been
that any exportable products Ger
many may have should pe handled
through a four-poWer export-import
pool whose proceeds should first be
devoted to paying for food and other
necessary German imports.
The Americans have contended
that If reparations are to be allowed
out of production there must be a
compensating boost in the agreed
level of industry permitted Ger
many in order to provide for pay
ment for Germany's imports and to
take care of needs of the German
consumers.
Gen. Clay emphasized that his
talks with Marshal Sokolovsky have
been only exploratory. He refused
to comment on reports that the
United States might agree to the
Russians taking manufactured pro-
ducts from Germany if the Soviets
supplied the raw materials.
Displeased With Denazification.
oCll. Sldy d4SO odlQ tAldg oilC 1iiAAi-
tary government was not satisfied
with the progress of denazification
in Bavaria as it is being conducted
by the Germans and added that if
the situation did not improve the
Americans would again take over
the denaEif1cation program.
In reply is a news conference
question, Gen. Clay said:
IF we have to do it to get de-
notification done, We will take over
the program again"
Last week DR.. Anton Pfeiffer, the
Bavarian minister in charge of de-
notification, was accused by some
of his fellow Germans of laxity in
performance and unf1tness for his
job because of his past record.
Pfeiffer was accused of having OBJ
tanned the release of his brother
Peter. Nazi diplomat. from an in
ternment camp after the Bavarian
denazificat ton ministry was given
administration of the camp.

Elections
Continued From First PageD

and reelected Gov. Horace A. Hill
dreth, Republican.
Party leaders prepared to turn to
the radio tonight to wind up a cam
paign that generally has been
marked by skimpy crowds at political
rallies and by outward apathy OF the
voters to candidates appeals on
formal issues.
Most observers have calculated
that the election will be settled by
the size of what has been forecast
as a protest vote against the Truman
ADMINISTRATOR handling of meat
and other controls ard general dis
satisfaction with the progress of re-
conversion from war to peace.
Republicans have plugged this is
sue. along with accusing the Demo-
Gratis Of linking themselves with
Communists and Of permitting
Henry A. Wallace, former Secre-
tary of Commerce. to confuse the
handling of foreign policy.
Although President Truman has
remained silent, Democratic lead
ers have thrown back the Com
munism charge at the Republicans,
have contended their opponents are
to blame for cracking price controls
and have asserted that Republican
domination of Congress would
hamper an early conclusion of q
permanent peace.
Wallace Fears Reaction.
Mr.. Wallace told a political rally
in New York last night that "the
whole world will take 1t as sign
that we have become reactionary
if the Republicans win"
In Chicago, however, Senator
Taft, Republican, of Ohio said the
Democratic and Republican parties
stand almost together" on foreign
policy.
In a campaign sumup by radio
last night. Representative Spark
man. chairman of the Democratic
Speakers Bureau, declared the Re-
publicans are going to be surprised
at the direction the protest" vote
takes.
It will be protest against the OBJ
structionist record of Republicans in
Congress who did everything in their
power to delay and hinder and
sabotage the legislation which the
vast majority of Americans wanted
Mr.. Sparkman declared.
But Senator Wiley, Republican, of
Wisconsin, asserted that an ex-
pected heavy vote will show "the
people want to get rid Of the
planning and socialistic economy i'm
posed by the New Deal
In weekend prediction fore
casts:
Democratic Chairman Robert E.
Hannegan said his party would in
crease it's majority In both houses.
COP Chairman Carroll Reece
claimed a Republican gain of 40 to
49 in the House and said the Re-
publicans were sure OF capturing
seven additional Senate seats and
had a $3.50 chance for seven more.

2Ofh Century Fund
Charges Cartel in
Electric Light Bulbs
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 4-The Twen-
tieth Century Fund reported yester-
day that the General Electric and
Westinghouse companies supply
of the electric lamp
bulbs sold in this country and in
turn are part of an international
cartel that exercises substantial con-
troll over major portion Of the
worlds output"
The report is part OF study,
"Cartels in Action" to be COM
pleted soon. The Twentieth Gen.
tury Fund is an institution for
scientific and economic research and
education endowed by the late Ed
ward A. Filene of Boston.
The study said General Electric
took over the basic Edison patent
on the electric lamp" and has main
tanned it's dominant position through
new patents and cross licensing
agreements covering improvements. +"
General Electric now has two
classes of licenses, A and b. the
funds statement said.
Westinghouse is the only A
hcensee,' it continued. The B
licensees are Consolidated Elec-
trio Lamp, Highgrade Sylvania
(now Sylvania Electric), Chicago
Miniature Lamp Works. Tung-Sol
Lamp Works and Ken-Rad Tube
and Lamp Tecently absorbed by
Westinghouse"
The report described an interna-
tional cartel called "Phoebus"
formed in 1912 as Swiss corpora
tion and said it had two acknowl-
edged major functions - exchange
of patents and technical informa-
ton, and division of markets"
Commenting on the report, a
spokesman for Westinghouse denied
that his company had any agree
ment to control manufacture and
sales.
I'VE have no agreement he said,
with General Electric or any one
else to control or restrict the man
ufacture or sale of lamps, and
WESTINGHOUSE has never controlled
or sought to control international
lamp sales"

In their meetings here the foreign
ministers can write their own tickets
on the peace treaties despite the de-

and Mr.. Molotov has said he would
reject any Paris conclusion he con-
sidered undesirable.
Mr.. Byrnes arrived by plane from

However, 1t was learned that he

view, covers two main problems
First, he is anxious to push his

At Paris it was agreed that dur
