 It is for the purpose of organizing this great mass of workers into local unions that members of executive boards and business agents represent ing every local union ill New Eng land jurisdiction met in conference at the Hotel Sheraton in Worcester, Mass, last Saturday to discuss possi- bilities and to outline a program of action to accomplish that which is re- ferred to by union leaders as a big job, but who feel confident the new plan of organization adopted at Sat urday's conference will develop into a big proposition.
 DIVISIONS PLANNED
 
 In outlining the campaign it is plan ned to organize the various units into divisions, these including craft organ izations of dairy workers, tank-truck, freight truck, laundry, linen, dry cleaning; coal and fuel, news wagon, brewery, cereal and soft drink driv- CTS, in addition to warehousemen, general warehouse help and office forces throughout New England.
 The organizing drive will be thorough and efficiently conducted, with no means spared for reach ing every unOrganized person in the New England States.
 In discussing the plan at Satur- days conference it was agreed the present is most opportune for conduct ing a New England-wide campaign ]; that large numbers of drivers em- ployed in unexplored territory are de- sirous of becoming organized and the drive should be started at the earliest possible moment.

to N. c. State by a single touch
down, and win over the Blue Devils
tomorrow will put them in good

The Blue Devils are out to prove
that they are much better team
than their record of four losses would
indicate. Each of the four teams that
have turned back the Blue Devils
are rated with the top ten teams in
the nation.
The Associated Press poll has rated
Tennessee, Army and Georgia Tech
among the top ten with N. {. Sta'c
among the top twenty, but the Wolf
pack holds down Il sixth place rating
by Williamson system.
The game promises to be nip and
tuck thriller from start to finish as
both teams are going all out to win
this one. The Blue Devils have drop
opponents goal. and they not only
seek TO crash back into the win COL
umn but they'd like nothing better
than TO knock the DcaconS out OF the
conference championship race.
AS for the DcaconS, they not only
have their eyes on Il possible bowl
bid, but they will be seeking their

Merry -Go-Round

WASHINGTON, July s-I ought to be kicked in the pants" is the way hard working dignifed Sen ator Barkey of Kentucky describes his part in the famous Erie Basin metals profiteerng case
 Most of Barkeys colleagues didn't know that in addition to Congressman May of Kentucky who is in the profteering case up to his neck, the senior Senator from Kentucky also accidentally involved
 Barkleys hired by the Erie company. And what the Senator may not know is that the hus band of one of his secretaries, Charles Chance constant hanger-on around the Erie offices in Washington.
 Barkley explains that when his son got out of the Army he received various business offers one of them tempting salary from the Elgin Watch Case Company. When the boy asked the Senators advice Barkley advised him to take the job with the best salary, which was Elgin part of the Erie Basin munitions empire.
 The word Elgin was what threw me off," Bark ley explained to Senate colleagues T thought it the Elgn Watch Company. had nc idea it was the Erie Basin Company"
 Charlie Chance, husband of one of Barkley's secretaries, frequent caller at the Erie Basin offices in Washington. He made constant sugges- tions about where the company could get prorites and materials. Whether he paid is not known.
 NOTE-When the Erie company first came up for investigation by the Mead Committee, Barkley tried to sidetraek the probe. His efforts were not as persistent as those of Representative May however
 The backstage battle over oPA was not finally settled until mild-mannered Democratic Senator Abe Murdock of Utah had engaged in world-singing contest With COP Senator Bob Taft of Ohio leader of the anti-price control bloc. Finally Chairman Alben Barkley called both to order.
 All during the day long meeting Taft had been putting m on the testimony of OPA Administrator Paul Porter, acting like prosecuting attorney. The Ohio Senator, who happens to be of the biggest real estate owners in Cincinnati refused let Por ter complete answers to committee questions.
 Finally Murdock blew up.
 MT. Chairman" he said to Barkley I'm going to ask you to insist order in this proceeding MT. Porter cannot answer questions if the Senator from Ohio continues these tactics. This has been go- ing on all day and I'm getting tired of it.
 Murdock added something that gave the impress sion Taft was trying to filibuSter the meeting
 T resent your implications" shot back Taft an- grlly. T have every right to ask questions here"
 I'm not trying to take away your right snapped the Utahan, but with all due respect to the Sen ator he should not be allowed nonopolze the dis cuSsion. Other people here also have right to ex- press themselves and the witness should be allowed to reply without these constant interruptions"
 Barkey broke up the spat, announcing he would thereafter insist on strict order This took the wind out of Taft's sails and he subsided.
 Inside fact is that OPA Boss Porter was not at an keen about Barkley's compromise amendment TO

WASHINGTON, July 9-(NEA)-When President Truman named Doctor (of Philosophy John Foy SteeIman as Director of the Office of War Mobiza- Jion and Reconverson, lot of people may have wondered How come?p
 True, Doc" Steelman had about 15,000 friends in labor and management leadership, scattered all over the country. And nobody-noJ even Congress man-had anything against him. He had been good head of the U s. Cancellation Service. But was he big enough to be qualified for this top job Assist ant President?
 If the appointment created little public stir that fact may have been due to a general belief that OWMR was dead dying In such case, who pre- sided as undertaken wouldn't make much difference
 Perhaps the President himself thought OWMR dead when he promoted John w. Snyder to Secre- tary of the Treasury and announced no one would take his place director of OWMR. Ten days later, the President changed his mind and named Steelman
 What had happened in the meantime that number of cabinet officers the heads of many nde- pendent agencies and the OWMR protested against giving the outfit the axe
 There were three for the wave of protests:
 First, there a realization that the recon version job by no means finished The war plants may have been converted to civilian production all right But production of many scarce items was still very poor Housing was worse.
 Veterans retrainng was moving at a snaus pace. Surplus property disposal under fire in Congress in spite of several top congratulations. Wage and price levels were by means stabilized. And the real battle against imitation was still to be fought
 Second, oWMR had become a convenient place for government officials to bring their troubles The directors office in the East Wing of the White House. East Executive Avenue, between this East Wing and the Treasury, was closed to the pub lice. The White House correspondents were block away over in the West Wing.

A Thought For Today
Price Control and Politics

The price battle viewed in retrospect is un pretty picture. And all the hoerthan thou posturng by the participants the battle approached it's climax cannot hide the that this important and highly debatabe issue wound LID as unabashed political squabbe
 The politiekng started right after VI Day with the m prudent ending of almost all ratlOnlng. 1t continued when wage ceilings lifted and price ceilings continued Both these gestures immediately popular but neither made good sense Worse than wartime food shortages ana bulges' in the holdheine policy inevitable results
 Meanwhile representatives of industry and agriculture putting the congressman to end all price control Production still unsteady and demand was tremendous And of the boys seemed to be pre- pared for killing under the slogan of all the trahc Will bear"
 That didn't make sense either But the pressure groups assured the congressman and the assured themselves that the law of supply and demand would take of everything-eVen though there promise o careful responsible procedure for putting that law back into effect in decidedly precarous tlme
 The trouble which Ar Truman, the afabIe eXsenator had having with his former colleagues to head the OPA fight Some of these colleagues seemed to have inserted provisions in their pcecontro extension bill from desire o clip the wings of the bureaucrats close to the President.
 But the "bureaucratsa won At least their convictions those of their political supporters closer to MT Trumans than those of his party leaders in Congress So the President vetoed the bill.
 The rejected bill legislative gem, and MT. Tru- man undoubtedly won considerable labor and liberal support by his veto But the existing price control bill gem either at least not in it's enforcement And it just AS certain Mr Truman also lost support by insist ing q continuation of that law or no law at all
 Those are only the hghlehts of fight in which Con rress as whole emerged with black eyethough many members probably made back home by their stand on the measure Mr Truman, while round Tn ms fight with Congress being questioned the wisdom of throwing ceilings subsidies and all oversde-without warnng-and trusting Congress to fish them out before any harm done.

 When Gov Jack Dempsey of New Mexico called the President last week. Truman took occasion to put him on the spot in friendly way about whether he would support COP. Pat Hurley, eX-Secretary of War, for the Senate.
 Dempsey, a Democrat came near defeating Dem ocratc Senator Dennis Chavez in the primaries and it generally conceded that if Dempsey should back Republican Hurley, the latter could win So Truman tactfuly inquired
 How do things look in New Mexico, Jack2"
 What do you thnk?" asked the former Brook lyn subway conductor, half bellgerently
 The President replied that he had heard rumors Dempsey might throw his weight to the Republicans.

 Senator George of Georgia Senator Barkley of Kentucky, and friends chuckllng the en- barrassment of their colleague, Tydngs of Maryland, the other day
 I never knew any man to make so many mis- takes remarked George, referring to the way Tydings had backed the wrong candidates in nearby Maryland. Ut just goes to show what you get when you desert colleague and try to take control of state"
 George and Tydngs were sympathetic to each other when Roosevelt invaded their states in the purge" In that campaign, Tydings had the vigorous support of his Senate colleague, George Rad cliffe Despite the fact that Radcliffe Roosevelt had been lifelong friends and banking partners Rad cliffe became Tydngs' campaign manager and helped materially to re-elect him
 When Radcliffe came up ii the recent Mary land primaries however Tydngs deserted him and took lofty neutral position. Not lifting hand for his old campaign manager, Tydings concentrated on trying to nominate his hand-p picked candidate as governor, thus win over the state Democratic ma chine. The man he picked, however, had offended patriotic Marylanders by driving state-oWned Cad lilac all the way to Georgia during the war when other people saved their gasoline He lost
 Instead, Maryland nominated one of the livest most forceul young Democrats in the state, Preston Lane, strong Roosevelt Lanes term as gov ernor will expire just Tydings comes up for re- election. So instead of eliminating future competi- ton against him, the Senator from Maryland has increased it.
 That's why Barkley George ct al were laughing at their colleagues discomfort.
