SoIons Call Polls Probe
 Mcclellan, Bilbo
 Elections Hit

Washington, Sept. T - (UP) - Chairman Allen J. Ellender, O. La.), today promised a fearless and impartial Investigation by his Sen ate Campaign Committee into the Mississippi and Tennessee Demo- cratic primaries.
 Ellender said investigators will be sent into those two states as soon as capable men can be found to do the jobs.
 He said they would be ordered to make a thorough investigation of complaints charging irregularities against two of his colleagues-Sens. Kenneth D. McKellar, D.-Tenn0 , and Theodore G. Bilbo, D.-Miss0
 The committee voted late yester- day to look into the Mississippi and Tennessee primaries but took no &C., ton on complaints from other states because they were not sup ported by sworn affldavits.
 Bilbo, now recovering from a jaw operation in 8 New Orleans hospital, declined comment on the committees action. McKellar, how ever, said the charges against him were untrue and that he welcomed the forthcoming inquiry.

McLevyHoIds Spotlight At Party Rally
 Bridgeport Mayor
 To Get 11th Chonce
 At Governors Post

The colorful, consistent Mayor Jasper McLevy of Bridgeport will hold top honors today among the Connecticut Socialists gathering at the Hotel Elton in their state party nominating convention.
 The 67-year-old roofing contrac- tor will receive his 11th consecutive nomination as the Socialist Party's gubernatorial candidate. McLevy will speak tonight after the nomina- tion.
 The covention got underway at II A. M. and will last but one day. An open type convention, nominees other than the Bridgeport Mayor are anyone's guess at this writing.
 McLevy, hailed in his home town as 'The Great Jasper is the most persistent gubernatorial candidate of any party in the history of the state. He has been mayor for l3 years.
 An arch-enemy of ''the double machine" and a firm advocate of Honesty In Government" McLevy has been a candidate for public office for almost half a century.
 He became a soap-box politician in 1900, when the Socialists could poll only 38 votes in a Bridgeport city election, and it took him B years to realize one of his two greatest ambitions-to become mayor of Bridgeport. Elected in 1933, he has been swept back into office regularly every two years.
 His gubernatorial a spirations reached a peak in 1938, when he boiled 163, 900 votes and for 8 few hours had both major parties on the anxious seat until the final votes were counted.
 His chances of ever attaining ths governorship, however, remained slim and, at best, he was expected te poll not more than 25,O00 or 30,00( votes in November. Two years agc he received 16,475, and in 1942 go 34,537, with most of his support com. ing from Bridgeport admirers of al political factions.

Byrnes Opens East, West Tilt for Reich
 American Official Believes Soviet
 U. s. Breach May Not Materialize

Paris, Sept. 7-(UP)-A high American official today described Secretary of State James F. Byrnes German speech as a bold notif1ca- tion that if there is to be battle for democracy" in Germany, the United States is in it to the end.
 The American official, one of Byrnes' closest advisers on German policy, implied that the battle be- tween East and West over Germany was on. He said he thought Byrnes' fortnight statement on American policy had a better than 50-5O chance of averting complete breach between the Soviet Union and the Anglo-American powers
 The Moscow radio broadcast a summary of the speech under a Berlin dateline. It made no com ment.
 Expect Bitter Returns
 Some diplomatic circles, antici- pating a violent Soviet reaction as well as bitter French reaction to some parts of the American policy, wondered if the speech may not have crystallized the .east-verSuS- west breach.
 These observers believed both sides were determined to restore Germany in the form of their own theology, and to stick to the end in the diplomatic economic and political battle.
 It was a sharp contrast to one year ago. Then even in the State Department there was support in some quarters both for the now dead Morgenthau plan to make Germany an agrarian state, and the plan proposed by former Under Secretary of State Sumner Welles for dismembering Germany into many states. Even the late Presi- dent Roosevelt leaned strongly to- ward dismemberment of Germany at one time.
 Military and diplomatic men in charge of United States policy in Germany were jubilant about Byrnes speech After months of failure, illustration and futility, they were happy that Byrnes at last had defined American policy in detail. For the first time he has: l. Set forth American policy
 on Germany's frontiers. 2. Served notice that he
 would not revise upwards the
 Potsdam Preparations Agree
 ment.
 3. Promised that the United
 States will stay in Germany as
 long as any other Allied occu-
 pying power.
 Last Point Pleases Germans
 It was Byrnes' statement on the last point that made the men on the ground in Germany happiest

 Forces Lose
 U. s. Supply
Attention Moves To Conferences
 In San Francisco

Washington, Sept. 7-(UPJ Government began re- moving vast stores of per- ishable foods from it's idled merchant ships today as the nationwide shipping strike dragged on with no sign of a settlement.
 The Maritime Commission won agreement from the striking unions to allow u11- loading of many of the food laden vessels tied up by the walk out.
 In Baltimore alone, some $300.O00 worth of meat and fresh vegetables aboard 28 ships were saved from possible spoilage when the unions permitted longshoremen to woek the vessels.
 The commission said similar ar- engagements had been made for unr loading government vessels in New York.
 New York Affected
 New York tugboatInen were scheduled to join the work stop page at 4 P. M, CEDT) but agreed to continue operating food barges and railroad flats.
 The strike made Itself felt throughout the country and cut off supply lines to occupation forces overseas as well.
 The Maritime Commission said 7O5 ships were i1nmobilized in East Coast ports, almost 200 on the West Coast and an undetermined num- Der of Gulf Ports. One of the striR- ing unions claimed that 2,5S4 ships were tied up, including smaller vessels not counted by the comrnis- sion
 Freight Cars Tied Up
 The Association of American Raaf~ roads reported that from 15y000 to 20, 900 loaded freight cars had been tied up in various ports by the strike
 Government hopes flor settling the walkout rested almost completely in scheduled conferences in San Francisco today between Assistant Secretary of Labor Phillip Hannah and Harry Lunderberg, president of the Sailors Union of the Pacific.
 Secretary of Labor Lewis B. Schwellenbach instructed Hannah to ask Bundeberg to caal of the strike or come here to arrange a settlement
 Before Hannah left here, however. Lundeberg said his mission would be fr1IitleSs.; He said the only solu- tion would be for the Wage Stabil- ization Board to reverse it's advere wage decision against the SUP and the Seafareris International Union, AFL.
 Supported by Other Unions
 The strike was called only by the SUP. and the S.IU but was sup ported by all CIO. and AFE maritime unions
 The board disapproved wage in- creaSeS that were $5 and $10 6 month more for the AFL. seamen than those approved last June for CIO. workers. Faced with tfas strike, the board agreed to reopen the case with public hearings here next Tuesday.
 The A.FL. appeared hopeful that the outcome of the strike would deal body blow to the rival C.I.O AFL. sources hinted that their strategy is to force a change in government wage policy as signiff- cant as that gained by the C.1O. United Steelworkers last winter. They feel this is necessary to offset the prestige claimed by the CI.O as leader in the fight to gain posbs war wage increases.
