Reds Refuse Up
 US. Quartet
Iron Curtain Kept
 Down on Detention Of Four Americans

Berlin, July l1.-fUP) -Disap- pearance of four Americans behind the iron curtain across the Russian zone of Berlin posed an information al mystery today.
 Tight-lipped American authorities kept to themselves what they had been told in several days of futile negotiations with Red Army off cials for the release of three U. s. Army officers and the wife of one of them.
 Blocked at every turn, the Amer jeans finally took the matter to the highest levels Gen. Joseph T. Me Narney conferred with Marshal Vastly D. Sokolovsky, reliable sources reported.
 Reds Refuse Explanation

lntro-P.A.C. Party Issue
 Fight Opens

Washington, July 11-(UP)-Tht death of Sidney Hillman, chairman of the C.I.O. s Political Action Com mittee, may lead to the divorce of
 the FAC. and the Democratic Party, Congressional observers said today.
 Hillman, who died of heart ail- ment yesterday, strongly opposed left-Wing proposals that the PA.C. form a political party of its own. Hlllm9p sought to work in co-oper- atlon With established political par ties, but now that his restraining hahu has been removed, a bitter lntra-PA A,C. struggle may be touched of over the third party issue.
 Hillman's death may weaken the FaH election chances of "pro-labor" Congressmen from industrial dis trietS of New York, Pennsylvania and Michigan. Many of these were depending upon the P.A.C. for the houSe-to-houSe canvassing and the routine ward work that spells suc- cess in politics.
 Struggle Under Way
 Should the P.A.C. shatter into crawling factions, this routine work would go by the board. And there were signs that the internal strug- gle already has begun.
 R. J. Thomas, vice. president Of the United Auto Workers (CIO9 and secretary treasurer of the r .A.C, was suggested by many as the logical man to step into Hill mans shoes. But because of his feudS with other factions inside his own union, Thomas was certain to draw stiff opposition.
 The CLIO. executive board faced | the tough job of selecting someone who is well trained in political strategy as well as labor leadership, The decision may come within a week.
 Walter P. Reuther, who defeated Thomas in a fight for the JAW. presidency early this year, said that jIO. President Philip Murray was ne only man to head FAC. But le conceded that "it is doubtful" hat Murray would take the job

 The proposal was part of a 22- polnt labor program for Japan, sub- mltted to the Allied four-power council by It. Gen. Kuzma Derev- yenko,

 George Atcheson, Jr., Gen. Doug las MacArthurs Representative on the Council, denounced the plan as bearing the familiar signmarks of propaganda and said it. conflicted With the American policy of oppos- ing further Communism in Janan
 Atcheson demanded to know why Derevyenko wanted a 48-hour week ana the right to strike in Japan If these reforms are not universally observed in the Soviet Union"
 Derevyenko suggested that Atche- son study the labor laws of the Sow let Union and offered to give him copy of the laws if he couldn't get them anywhere else.
 Ii Atcheson found his study of the laws insufficient, said Derevyenko, ne should go to Russia and study conditions at first hand
