By the Assoeio,ed Press

MIAMI, Nov. 21.- James H

Departments sugar branch, pre-
dicted today that consumers may
get five pounds more sugar in 1s47

The ration entities every one to
Is pounds this year, including 10
pounds canning allowance. Under
Mr.. Marshalrs forecast, the 1947
direct supply would be 80 pounds.
An additional quantity averaging
about 48 pounds per person is used
in manufactured food products, soft
drinks, candies. and the like. Mr..
Marshall said this quantity might
be increased to about 54 pounds
through ALLEGATION of larger supplies
to the manufacturers.
Mr.. Marshall made this prediction
in talk at q meeting of the Amer

ages.
The sugar official expressed the
opinion that for the present" lift

Republican Senator's
Called by vandenberg
To Meet Here Dec. 80
Letter Denies Intent
To COMMIT Conference
On Choirmonships
By Gould Lincoln

Senator Vandenberg of Mich
Iigan, chairman of the Republican
Conference of the Senate, has
called all Republican Senators
in the next Congress to meet
here December 80, four days in
advance Of the opening of the
Eightieth Congress.
In his letter, Senator Vandenberf
took occasion to disayow any ir1ten.
ltion ON the part OF the Republican,
who attended the recent meeting d
the Republican Steering COMMITTEES
to commit the Republican confer
Ience either TO policies or COMMITTEES
ehairmanships.
The Michigan Senator apparently
was answering protests from some
Republicans against hard and fast
declaration ut this time for a 20 per
cent income tax reduction. It also
was an answer to criticisms that
the Steering Sommittee had par
celed out important committee posts
in the new Senate
Senator Taft, head of the Steer
ing Committee, also has addressed
a letter to the COP Senators along
the same line.
Taft Wants Labor Chairmanship.
The Ohio Senator. who is making
a South American trip, left word in
Washington, however, that he def
nitely would take the Craftsmanship
of the Senate Labor Committee. He
is the ranking Republican on that
committee and entitled to the
Craftsmanship under the seniority
rules.
This means that Senator Aiken of
Vermont, who stood next in line for
the craftsmanship, will not get 1t.
Senator Aiken voted against the
Case labor bill and has generally
been regarded as a New Deal Re-
publican.
Senator Taft thus relinquishes his
right to become chairman of the
Finance Committee. Senator Butler
Of Nebraska comes into line for that
post.
An effort had been made to get
Senator Aiken the Craftsmanship of
the Agriculture Committees that
Senator Taft could be chairman of
the Finance Committee, and Sem
ator Ball of Minnesota the Labor
Committee. Senator Capper of Kan
sas, however, is to be chairman Of
the Agriculture Committee. Senator
Aiken will have to be content with
the Expenditures Committee whose
duties have been considerably ex-
panded under the new reorganiza-
ton plan.
Pleads for Cooperation.
Senator Vandenberg, who win be-
come President pro tenn of the SEN
ate, said in his letter to COP Sem

Cl0ls Not Threatening
People Of U. 5. With
Club Murray Says
Reuther Asks Common
War Chest to Back
Drive for Wage Raises
by the Associoted Press

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. Nov. 81
-CIO President Philip Murray
said today the CIO is mot
threatening strikes" and is mot
running around this Nation with
a club in its hands, threatening
the people"
Mr.. Murray spoke before the CIC
convention after Walter Reuther
president of the United Auto Work
ers, had called for a common war
chest" of $4,000, 900 to $l2, 900, ,0O0
to back any single CIO union in a
fight for higher wages.
Mr.. Murray left no doubt the CIC
wage fight would be pushed, but he
denied that it would .agitate infla-
ton" or "jeopardize our economy. :
Wants Fair Deal.
In his convention speech, Mr.
Murray said to industry:
Come on, be decent, be gentle
men, sit around the bargaining ta-
bles and let us arrive at mutually
satisfactory wage agreements with
out resort to strikes. That is our
position. 1t is not the attitude OF
the bludgeoned fist, threatening the
Nation"
There are a lot of notions going
around" he said, that the CIO is
bent on engaging in widespread
strikes. The CIO wants to make a
bargain. We want a fair deal. There
is no threat of strikes in the offing.
We want decent, straight, clean
honorable collective bargaining
He said the CIO wants the en-
ployers of the Nation to recognize
their responsibilities and obliga-
tions," adding:
The owners of great wealth must
necessarily have public responsible
ties which run beyond their stock
holders and coupon clippers"
Seeks Good Faith.
Mr.. Murray said the employers
"can avert if they will industrial
chaos by meeting our representa-
tives in good faith"
After Mr.. Murray and Mr.
Reuther spoke. the convention unan.
imously adopted a resolution call
ing for substantially wage in
creaSeS.
Mr.. Reuther, in a typical fiery
speech, said the real" earnings Of
American workers-in terms of pur-
chasing power-have been cut 2(
per cent since January, 1945.
When questioned by reporters
later, he said he did not mean tt
imply that 20 per cent would be the
amount of the auto workers wage
demands this winter.
He said it was the duty of the
CIO to defeat the myth that you've
got to have higher prices to give
higher wages"

UNIV District President Michael
j. Kosik said that he had no knowl-

ducing centers at Scranton, Hazleton

miners return to their jobs at once.
He refused any further statement
on the situation because I'VE don't

coal miners may have left their jobs
because of what he said was an er-
roneous report that Mr. Lewis had
been jailed.
The situation in the fields was
