House committee said that upon
careful consideration it is the sense
of this committee that the national
emergency neither justifies nor war
rants the proposed acquisition OF
st. Johns campus"
Sasscer Opposes Motion.
Representative Sasscer, Democrat
of Maryland opposed the motion
urging that the proposal be left
open for further consideration.
He offered a substitute to defer
action but it was defeated by a
similar II to vote.
After final vote, Mr.. Sasscer pro-
posed that the committee direct the
Navy to make an immediate study
and offer alternative plans for ex-
pansion of the academy.
No vote was taken on this motion
but Mr. Vinson ordered the COM
mittee clerk to write the Navy
requesting such action and none
objected.
Called Move to Sink Navy.
Representatives Izac, Democrat, OF
California and Drewry, Democrat
of Virginia also opposed the mo-
ton. Mr.. Izac said 1t would be
"the first one to start sinking the
Navy" He argued that unless St
Johns is acquired, the Naval
Academy will not be able to provide
its share of future officers.
ITO get so per cent of our officers
from the Naval Academy We must
have ST. Johns," he asserted.
Chairman Vinson replied that
we are agreed that the Naval
Academy must expand, but there
is nothing to prevent it from doing
so in other ways
/ Mr.. Vinson said he believed the
academy could be enlarged by build
ing up the Dorsey Greek area
through elimination of an athletic
field, by acquiring some city blocks
in Annapolis and by moving the
/ War College to the West Coast.
| Movement Started in 1910.
/ Representative Grant, Republican
of Indiana told the committee we
would be doing the Navy disservice
if we didn't vote against acquiring
ST. Johns, because the House never
would agree to provide funds for
such an action"
| The movement to acquire ST
Johns College originated in 1910
when the academy sought TO buy
the campus for s450,000 1t was op-
posed at a Senate Appropriations
Committee hearing by Stringfellow
Barr, st. Johns president, and the
late Secretary of the Navy Knox
Two years later the question again
arose when the Naval Academy re-
ported that st. Johns campus could
De made available" Denying valid
ity of such report. DR.. Barr sought
and was given assurance by the
then Undersecretary of Navy For
restal that the agreement Of 1910
still held good
Early last year the Board of Gov
ernors and Visitors of st. Johns was
notified by Secretary of the Navy
Forrestal that 1T now appears that
the expansion of the Naval Academy
will require the acquisition of the
present property belonging to ST,
Johns College
In June of last year the Senate
Naval Affairs Committee postponed
action on the purchase after hear
ing testimony that the academy ex-
pected to expand from 3,400 students
to 5000. The Navy was opposed to
an alternating plan of establishing a
second academy on the West Coast.

Rumors that Russia had turned
down the Presidents appeal came
from Washington last Saturday, but
there had been no official word prior
to the Moscow broadcast last night.
Unofficial Washington reports last
week end said Mr. Truman appar-
emily still had hopes of getting Rus
sia to reconsider her position on the
world food problem.
A Moscow broadcast last Saturday
said Russia had pledged to deliver
more than 100000 tons of grain to
Finland, France, Poland and Ro-
mania during the first year of peace.
Eleven American ships loaded
with Russian wheat were reported to
have reached Marseilles last month
as the first installment on a total
of 100000 tons of wheat which the
Soviet Union had promised to de-
liver to France in April, May and
June.
Russia also agreed to sell Poland
100000 tons of grain for sowing this
years harvest and has promised
another 100000 tons to Finland. In
addition, Moscow announced, Russia
last September agreed to deliver
10000 tons of wheat and 10000
tons of corn to Romania and is
making an additional grant of TO-
600 carloads of wheat this year.

ST. CHARLES, Va, May % (P).-
Approximately 1900 are now idle in

determined.
Mr.. Cronin said that several
District 81 mines were unable to
work first shifts due to a railroad
car shortage, which developed from
a heavy demand for hoppers in
recent days.
Both operator and United Mine
Workers Union officials withheld
comment on the Monongalia County
closures, but Local 4040 at the

near Morgantown declared recently
that the seizure should be actual

Local President Charles Branney
had explained that the members
said they would not work unless
their pay checks were drawn on the

In resolution, the local said
that in the past the seizure merely
meant receipt of a telegram and

TobinRepudiates Talk Of Lewis As F.D.R.' Partner
Differs With Miss Frances Perkins On Straight
 Question Of Fact

Indianapolis (LPA) President Dan Tobin of the Int'l Brotherhood of Teamsters has denied a pub. lished statement by former Labor Secretary Frances Perkins that he had ever discussed with her and the late President Roosevelt the possi. bility of John L. Lewis being a vice. presidential candidate on the Democratic ticket in l94O.
 In signed article in the unions publication, the International Team ster, Tobin declared that he could not remember any such conferences as Miss Perkins said took place in the White House early in 1940 or late in 1889.
 ''As a matter of fact,'' said TObin, ''the writer of this article would not discuss the affairs of John L. Lewis in the presence of Madame Perkins for the following reason: For many years we in the AFL believed that Madame Perkins was overly friendly to, and favored distinctly the CIO organizations. At that time John L. Lewis was the president of the CIO."

Frey Wants Two Charters Revoked

CHICAGO (LPA) . A long snoldering feud between John P. Frey, president of the AFL Metal Trades Dept. and the United Auto Workers-AFL fared into the open at the AFL's 65th convention here last week. Frey introduced a resolution demanding that the AFL revoke the JAWS charter. The jurisdiction of several international unions affiliated with the Metal Trades Dept. "has been invaded" by the JAW, the reso- lution declared.
 Conferences held in Washington with JAW President Lester Wash burn "have failed to bring about any cessation of this invasion and these international unions can no longer remain passive under the cir cumstances," the resolution asserted. In an almost identical resolution Frey asked that the charter of the Stove Mounters Int'l. Union also be re- voked.

 Journal; Strike In Ninth Month
But Walter Winchen Is Keeping It A Vary
 Dark Secret

BURBANK, Calif. -(FP)-Wal- ter Winchell, the man who knows the inside story of everything and tells all to millions of radio listen CTS via the Jergens Journal, is keep ing it a dead secret.
 But members of the Intl. Bro. of Teamsters who have been on strike for eight months at the local plant of his sponsors are letting the country know that the world famed "liberap' commentator is being backed by a company which could give even s. L. Avery few lessons in unionbuSting.
 FIGHTING SIX YEARS
 The workers, members of General Warehousemen's Union Local 598 have been fighting for six years for union recognition and wage increases. After the company had three times refused to abide by War Labor Board decisions ordering it to bargain with the union of its 100 Burbank em- p1oyes, the men walked out in disgust on Feb. IS.
 The company's answer was to continue its uniOnbusting, law breaking tactics by sending letter to every worker telling him he was fired. There has been no prOduc- ton at the Burbank plant since then and though the company has shipped its products (including the lotion which gives us WinchelPs ''Iotions of love'') from outside plants, very few Los Angeles drug stores are carrying the scab pro- duct.
 The fight for union at JergenS be- gan in 1940 when the workers organ ized a union of their own but were denied collective bargaining rights by management. In 1942 they were given federal charter by the AFL and won an NLRB election hands down. But management still refused to bargain.

Shannon Tells Of Labor Gains

COP. Nominee For It. Governor Cites The
 Record
By JAMES C. SHANNON, Republican Nominee for Lieuten-

ant-CovernOr
 Back in 1889, when Cornelius Danaher was appointed Labor Com missioner, the Connecticut Fedora ton of Labor selected me to be their legislative attorney. Admitted to the Bar in 1921, my first case in the Connecticut Supreme Court was on behalf of the International Union of Machinists. Ever since, I have been keenly interested in the problems of labor.
 In the 1939 Legislature for the first time on behalf of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, we offered the State Labor Relations Act, modelled on the New York Act. This was the beginning of long campaign which finally resulted in the passage of the present law. It is a good workable law It is not perfect and some de- hciencies will have to be corrected. But it was a great step forward and thus protected those engaged in intra- state commerce who were previously unprotected.
 Anti-Injunction Act
 However, the greatest accomplish ment in behalf of labor in 1889 were the passage of the Anti-Injunction Act and the repeal of the Intimidation Act which were chiefly responsible for the conviction of labor leaders in the truckers strike in Hartford and previously resulted in an injunction in Bridgeport in the strike at Levy & Delaney's when the Court found that some strike-breakers were intimidat- ed by dirty looks with which the pick cts threatened them.
 The Anti-Injunction bill was of enormous benefit to labor, because it prevented the employers select ing judge without notice to the union and securing a temporary in- junction without hearing and doing immeasurable harm to employees in their quest of their rights. Be- fore Union counsel could get a hearing and a motion to dissolve this injunction, many times, the employers were able to infict un- told hardships on their striking em- plOyees. After the passage of the (Continued on Page Five)
