Wheeler Abandons
Plan 10 Campaign
As an Independent
BY the Assoeioisd Press


Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of
Montana, took President Tru-
man off potential political hot
spot today by deciding not to
seek reelection as an indepen-
dent.
Senator Wheeler bowed out of the
November picture in formal state
ment in which he said nothing
about supporting either his sue
ceSSful opponent in the Democratic
primary, Left Erickson, or Wales N.
Ecton, the Republican nominee.
Mr.. Truman gave Senator Wheel
er helping hand in the primary
by way of letter to the Senators S
campaign manager. Had Senator
Wheeler decided to run as an in
dependent, the President might
have been faced with making a
.ncice between his longtime friend
and Mr.. Erickson.
Campaign Probe Continues.
Senator Wheeler's decision not to
heed the thousands" of appeals
he said he had received came as
the Senate. Campaign Committee
was disclosed to be delving still into
phases of the campaign.
Acting Chairman Johnson was re-
ported by other Senators to have
written Mr.. Truman suggesting that
David K. Niles, a presidential as
SiStant. might want to reply to tes-
timony in which his name appeared.
The committee has been looking
into the publica ton of book. The
Plot Against America by David
George Kin. which Senator johnson
said contained vicious attack" on
the President and Senator Wheeler
Publisher John E. Kennedy pre-
viously had testified before the
Senate Committe that he discussed
1.-The idea of the book" with Mr..
Niles before it was published. He
said Mr.. Niles saw no manuscript
and neither expressed approval nor
disapproval of the project, but Mr.
Kennedy added:
IT think I can safely say he felt
1t was an interesting project"
Had Expressed Opposition.
Senator Wheeler told a reporter
Mr.. Niles had telephoned him to
say he had told Mr.. Kennedy he
thought the idea of publishing such
q book was lousy" adding he had
tried to discourage the enterprise
Senator Johnson took exception
in committee hearings to a passage
in the book which described Mr.
Truman and Senator Wheeler as
leading Americas retreat from
reason into the safe, ventilated hell
of azi-Fascism," adding: Hitlers
corpse has been resurrected and is
now sleeping in the White House
bed
Senator Johnson refused to COM
ment on his letter to the President.
And there was no immediate word
from the White House.

Printing Firms Offer
Union 13-Cent Raise
In CounterproposaI

A counterpropoSal offered by the
Graphic Arts Association, closed
shop division, in behalf of Wash
.ington commercial printing EN-
ployers, proposes an per cent wage
increase for 500 union printers
which amounts to 13 cents per hom
more on each of the three shifts
the union has announced.
The offer was made to the Scale
Committee of the Columbia Typo
graphical Union, No. l, at meet
ing yesterday in the Willard Hotel
the third negotiating session since
the unions demands were approved
by the local June %.
A meeting of the union has been
set for 2 pm. Sunday. August II
at 525 New Jersey avenue NV, to
act on the counterproposal
EscalatOr Clause Included.
The proposed contract would con-
tinue for two years. with an interim
opening for wages after II months
and would include an "escalator
clause to give a 6-cent-per- hour
automatic pay raise whenever the
Bureau Of Labor Statistics consum-
er index on all items increased five
points, the union said.
Mandatory arbitration is proposed
to include all provisions of the con-
tract, including union laws, a union
statement said.
The hourly rates under the pro-
posal would be raised from sl.52s
to Sl.629 for the day shift. from
to $l659 for the day shift, from
Sl.753 to $1883 for the third shift
The counteroffer also proposed
an additional paid holiday. Labor
Day, to bring the total to five, and
a vacation clause to provide one
weeks yacat ton for employees of one
to three years service and two weeks
for those of three years service or
more.
Contrasts With Demands.
The employers offer was in con-
trast to union demands of So pei
hour for day shift, plus four addi-
tional paid holidays. three weeks
vacation with double pay, double
pay for all overtime and other items
which the employers recently said
would bring the total cost of the
demands to $l98 per hour above the
present scale of $l53, or an increase
of 1856 per cent.
Jesse B. Manbeck, president OF
the local union. said today he would
oppose adoption of the counter
proposal as being "a perpetuation
OF gross inequity," since the en-
ployerS have used as a basis ''fol
the l3-cent hourly wage increase
the 1910 union scale and used the
increase in the BIS index to arrive
at the l3-cent figure
He also opposed the arbitration
clause and said: Union laws will
never be subject to arbitration sc
