always insisted, and still does, that

But, as in dysentery, which we do
know the cause of, we are using
penicillin and the sulfa drugs to

He said the hospital was using

NFFE Plans Campaign to Enlist
100000 New Members in Year
By Joseph Young
S,or .Stoff Correspondent

CLEVELAND, Sept. 5.-An all
out drive to enlist 100000 addi-
tional members in the National
Federation of Federal Employees
was announced today by Luther
Steward, NFFE president.
The independent union, which
now has a membership of 100000
hopes to reach the 100000 mark
next year, Mr.. Steward said. The
NFFE, which is holding its 18th
biennial convention here, authorized
expenditure of sufficient funds to
stage the recruiting drive.
The drive to unionize the nearly
1000, 600 unorganized Federal en-
ployes already has been started by
the left-wing CIO United Public
Workers of America, and the AFL' S
American Federation of Government
Employees is expected to authorize
a similar campaign when it holds its
convention next week in st. Paul.
The NFFE Is in the best position
financially to stage vast organiza-
ton campaign since it is generally
accepted that Mr.. Stewards organ
ization is the most prosperous finan-
cially of the three Federal employees
unions.
Experienced national organizers
will be added to the unions staff
to receive new members. Mr. Stew
ard revealed. NFFE officials said
the time is now ripe to organize
Federal employees and that vigor-
Gus, well-financed campaign will
produce results.
Luther Steward, president of the
NFFE since 1917, was unanimously
reelected for another two-year
term. Gertrude M. McNally, secre-
tary- of the union and an
official in the NFFE since 1917, also
was unanimously reelected. Others
chosen were DR.. Walter P. Taylor,
College Station, Tex, first vice
president; Ulrey j. Biller, Washing
ton, second vice president: George
L. Evans. Denver, third vice presi-
dent. and Vaux Owen, Atlanta,

Big -Four Spend Futile 2H Hours
On Question Of PostponingU N.
By Newbold Noyes, Jr.

PARIS, Sept. 5.-Having spent two
and a half hours yesterday in in
conclusive discussion by the Council
of Foreign Ministers on the question
of postponement of the U. N. Gen.
eral Assembly meeting and of mov-
ing it to Europe, Secretary of State
Byrnes finished writing his Stutt-
gart speech this morning before
flying to Berlin.
American sources say that since
the British and United States rep
resentatives yesterday rejected the
Soviet appeal that the Foreign Min
listers urge transfer to Europe of a
postponed Assembly session, and
since Trygve Lie, U. N. secretary
general, yesterday rejected a pre-
vious Russian request for postpone
ment, it Is now certain the Assem-
bly, will meet September 23 in New
York.
Mr.. Byrnes presided at yesterdays
meeting of the Foreign Ministers
held at Russian request in the
Quai d'Orsay ONCE of Georges BIZ
dault, French Provincial President
and Foreign Minister, Andrei Y
Vishinsky, Deputy Foreign Minister
represented Russia.
Three Proposals Made.
Three proposals emerged in the
discussion, on none of which the
council could agree. They were:
/. The Russian proposal that the
Assembly meeting should be post
poned until November, and that it
should then be held either in Paris
or Geneva rather than in New York.
Thus, in case it should still overlap
with this Peace Conference, the two
international gatherings would be
close enough together to enable dele
gates to shuttel back and fourth be-
tween them.
2. A British proposal that the
agenda of the Assembly might be
rearranged so as to put routine tech
nical matters at the head of the list
If this were done, Foreign Secre-
tary Bevin felt, it would not matter
so much If the Assembly meeting
overlapped somewhat with the
Peace Conference.
8. An American proposal that Mr.
Lie should, as before, seek the views
of all member states on the ques-
ton Of further postponement of the
Assembly. Mr. Byrnes thought Mr.
Lie might also ask members how
they felt about the British proposal
for rearrangement of the Assem-
bly's agenda.
Mr.. Byrnes and Mr.. Bevin led the
attack against the Russian proposal

troops. These must be attributed
to human error"
Gen. Watt cited the following
causes for the accidents:
Failure to cement the detonator
cap into position. The report stated
that in the cases examined the deto-
nators had been "staked" into po-
sition.
Failure of assemblers to place the
safety balls in the fuses.
Failure of inspectors to pick up
this and other errors.
The report added that had mill
tary commanders in the field not
felt it tactically urgent that they
utilize ammunition declared un-
safe and had no other type of un-
foreseen incidents occurred, many OF
these accidents might have been
avoided"
Mr.. Mays letter to Senator Mead
came a week after he announced
In Prestonsburg that he intended to
campaign this fall for reelection
to the House. He said at the time
that he believed improvement in
his physical condition would en-
able him to campaign actively.
Statement Accompanies Letter.
The May letter arrived at .
time when Senator Mead was
returning from Albany, where he
yesterday received the Democra tic
nomination for Governor of New
York, and while Committee Counse
George D. Meader was out OF thu
city. Mr.. Flanagan, who was away
yesterday, received the letter ane
accompanying statement today. HI
said 1t was too soon" to announce
what action will be taken.

policy matters before it adjourns to-
morrow night. the most important
of which Is the question of pay
raises for Federal employees. The
union Is expected to ask wage in
creases for Federal employees to
offset rising living costs and at the
some time attract and retain in
Government top-caliber employees.
Another important issue for con-
vention action is liberalization of
the civil service retirement system.
The convention yesterday unani-
mously voted to ask the next Con-
gress to grant unemployment COM
pensation insurance to dismissed
war service employees in the Federal
service. Government employees are
practically the only major group of
workers in the country who are not
eligible for unemployment compen-
sation.
No-Strike Pledge Reaffirmed.
Among other resolutions passed
by the convention was one reaffirm-
ing the unions no-strike pledge
1--WE Fundamentally and unani-
mously reaffirm our adherence to
the principle that there shall be no
strikes against the Government
under any circumstances, and we
likewise Fundamentally and unani-
mously pledge our loyalty and al
legiance to the Government of the
United States and the democratic
principles for which we stand" the
resolution read.
Other resolutions passed asked
that Federal agencies set up re-
employment registers during the
present transition period for dis
missed war-service employees to get
first chance at available jobs, along
with military veterans; urged repeal
of the State quota hiring law, which
is especially discriminatory against
District Of Columbia residents; ad-
vocated that the employees in the
medical service of the Veterans Ad-
ministration be brought back under
the civil service system, asserting
that the new system had deprived
these employees of seniority rights
and overtime pay; and asked that
the merit system in Government be
Irigidly enforced at all times.

Woodpu|pPrieeB Boo!
OF 10 Pei. Ordered;
Paper 10 Go Up
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

OPA today announced an increase
of about 10 per cent in prices for
domestic and imported wood pulp
and estimated it will cost consum-
ing mills approximately $25, 900 900
more year.
The higher ceilings apply imme-
diately to domestic wood pulp pro-
duction and may be retroactive on
imports to August 8, when adjust
able pricing was permitted.
OPA said the increase will not
alter ceiling prices on paper and
paper products Immediately, but
that necessary resulting changes
are being computed. 1t added that
newsprint will not be affected at
once, because much of this is i'm
ported as rlewsprint or produced in
domestic captive" mills.
Recent raises in the value of the
Canadian dollar and the Swedish
krona contributed to the higher
ceiling on imports, OPA said, in
order to assure supplies. About
half the marketed wood pulp used
in this country is imported from
Canada and the Scandinavian
countries.
On the domestic side, the agency
said the increase will offset higher
costs and encourage continued pro-
duction. 1t added that the last in
crease on domestic woodpulp CELL
ings was in April
OPA said the higher ceilings will
reduce Government subsidies on
woodpulp production in the United
States, although some subsidies will
be required for 'high-cost marginal
mills.
The increases range from Sc tc
$3.50 a ton on standard grades
from $3.50 to $3.50 a ton on screen
ings and from $3.50 to Sill a ton on
special grades.
As additional encouragement fol
Scandinavian exporters, OPA an
nounced that they will be required
to absorb smaller amount of North
American transportation costs. Eu.
ropean producers now absorb about
81 ton of these costs. This will be
cut to 81. OPA said the increases
are necessary to maintain adequate
supplies of woodpulp for the paper
mills that use this product.

and Mr.. Bidault mildly supported
their views. Moving the assembly
to Europe was out of the question,
the Britisber and American said.
It had been agreed since last jan
uary that the session was to be held
in New York, and it was too late
now to change.
Mr.. Bevin remarked, perhaps
facetiously, that 1t would be easier
and more appropriate to move the
peace conference to New York than
to move the Assembly meeting here.
With regard to the question of
postponement, Mr.. Byrnes and Mr..
Bevin said, as they did at the last
Foreign Ministers meeting. that the
question was not one for the minis
ters to decide; that the Council
must not presume to dictate; that
Assembly, described by Mr.. Bevin
as the major body in the world to-
day." could not be told what to do
Denies Asking Dictation.
Recalling that Assistant U. N. Sec
retary General Already Sobolev had
left Paris Monday after presumably
discussing the matter with all dele
cations here, the British and Ameri-
can spokesmen said Mr.. Sobolev was
probably in New York reporting te
Mr.. Lie on the situation. 1t was
they asserted, up to the U. N. to
decide.
Mr.. Vishinsky replied that he wa.
not suggesting the Big Four should
attempt to dictate a decision to the
other U. N. members, but that hi

suade the others to agree to post.

He said Russia had insufficient
diplomatic personnel to cope with
the two conferences at once, ane

Czechoslovakia foresaw the sam,

Mr.. Vishinsky on his side saw
little merit in Mr.. Bevin's propose
for a rearrangement of the Assem-
by's agenda. OF 80 items on tn,
agenda, all but seven or eight wer,
matters requiring serious and un
divided attention, he said.
He thought that to poll U. N
members as to their views on tn
question Of postponement MI
Byrnes' proposal-would take a 10
of time and in the end would onl
add to the general confusion. Their
could be no clear decision on tn
