Opposed by Local C.LO. Robinson Mentioned For Hillman's Shoes

Local CI.O leaders today con- ceded little chance for Reid Robin son. president of the International Union of Mine, Mill & Shelter Workers, to be named chairman of the CI.O. Political Action Commit tee, succeeding Sidney Hillman. h. formed of New York dispatches say ing that Robinson, with whom they have been feuding for years, is be- ing advanced as 3 candidate by left wing elements, Waterbury C.IO. heads asserted that President Philip Murray of the C.I.O. would never allow the selection of Robinson.
 Robinson, who has been under at- tack by Connecticut locals of his union for alleged pro-Communist leanings, is now the object Of a re- call movement within the union. His custer is being sought on the grounds that he negotiated S500o loan from an official of a company with which the union has a con- tract. In addition to the custer movement, anti-Communist ele- ments are proceeding with plans to defeat Robinson in the biennial union elections this Fall.
 The only statement for publica- tion on the bringing forward of Robinson's name came from John J. Driscoll, NM S.W. international representative and State C.I.O. sec- retary, who opposed Robinson for the union presidency in 1922.
 Since no sponsor of the Robin son candidacy is named, I can't even give the report any serious consideration" said DriScoll
 Thousands of signatures have been secured in Connecticut on pe- titions calling for the removal of Robinson from office because of the alleged loan transaction. Locals ln Waterbury, Bridgeport, Ansonia, and Torrington are lined up in sup port of the custer move. ~ -.
 Adoption of strongly anti-Com- munist resolutions by NM S.W. locals in Connecticut in recent months is also significant.
 The move to force Robinson from the presidency is due to reach climax on the floor at the unions annual convention in Cleveland in September.
 There have been reports in union circles that President Murray was highly angered when he heard re- ports on the Robinson loan charges. This is one of the reasons why local C.I.O. heads believe it unthinkable that he would countenance appoint ment of Robinson to such an im- portant post as that of CIO.-P.A.C. chairman

PetroIeum,s Dairy Goods Free of Lids
Congressional Leaders Agree Veto Certain

Washington, July II - (UP) - The Senate, busily scrapping price ceilings, swiftly today toward it's first showdown vote on rent controls.
 Up for Senate action was 3 proposal by Sen. Albert Hawkes., (R.-N. J.), to allow landlords to raise rent 5 per- cent immediately, another 5 per- cent in November and a final 5 percent next March.
 Under present provisions of the bill, any rent increases occurring since the old price law expired June 30 would be rolled back to former levels Landlords would not, how ever, be required to repay higher rents collected since June 30.
 Amendments which would give producers and distributors their pre-war prices and mark-ups, plus any increased costs, also are sched- uled for votes today.
 k-Ups to Be Debated
 The Senate voted yesterday to prohibit controls on milk, butter, cheese, petroleum and petroleum products. Most Congressmen agreed that there was little hope that the new price measure in its present form would escape a presidential veto.
 Rep. Jesse Wolcott (R.-Mich0, a Republican leader in the House fight over OPA, declared "1t looks as if there will be no more price controls" He predicted that only rent controls will remain when smoke of the bitter price battle clears.
 Sen. Brien McMahon (D.-Connp, said the Senate was rapidly writ- ing a bill that the President can do nothing but veto"
 Other Products Exempted
 The Senate, in addition to ban- ming price ceilings on dairy and petroleum products, has exempted meat, livestock, poultry, eggs and soy bean and cottonreed products from any price controls under the pending bill
 Administration forces gained their first victory last night, however, when Senators split the previously strong Republicans Southern Demo- cratic coalition and voted to retain controls on grain and grain prod ucts. An amendment to exempt them from price ceilings was re- jected 40-32. The proposal was of- fered by Sen. Clyde M. Reed (R.- Kans)
 Senators then clinnaxed their eight-hour session by approving, 40 to 30, the plan offered by Sen. E. H. Moore (R.-Okla), to prohibit con- trols on petroleum and petroleum products, except those in short SUD- ply. Earlier, Sen. Kenneth Wherry (R.-Neb), received 51-to-27 Senate endorsement of his plan to ban con- trols on dairy products.
 Shortly before the Senate re- cessed, Sen. w. Lee O'Daniel o. TeX0, defeated a move by Senate Democratic Leader Alben W. Bark icy, Ky, to get unanimous consent to limit debate on remaining pro- posals. ODaniel has promised to try to flibuster the bill to death.
 Barkley Miffed
 Barkley, who has fought one los- ing battle after another to keep the Senate from riddling the bill, obviously was unified at the success of OPA opponents and asked the Senators why grapes and peanuts had been overlooked"
 There is so much back-scratch- ing going on that if it resulted in soreness it would exhaust all the paracanph Ca Kentucky home rem- edy) in Washington" BarNey de- clared bitterly.

Peak OF Textile Boom
Seen In 6 To IL Months

st. Louisa. w. Zelomek, presi-
dent of the international Statistical
Bureau, predicted that the present
boom in textiles will reach it's peak
during the next to IL months. He
doubts that the present sellers mar

Zelomek warns that sharp readjust-

Gas Co. FOremen Choose
AFL Union for Bargaining

Washington, D. C.-In an election
directed by the National Labor Rela-
tions Board, foremen employed by the
Washington Suburban Gas Co. Of
Hyattsville and the Rosslyn Gas Co.
voted overwhelmingly for Federal La
Dor Union 23,874 (AFL) as their col

Both companies are subsidiaries of

Washington, Jan. 5-(UP)-The Surplus Property Administration to- day suggested government operation of the Big Inch" and Little Big Inch" oil pipelines if private inter- ests fail to buy or lease them.
 In @ report to Congress the SPA said private concerns would be given first call on the two giant Texas-to- New York pipelines but if nobody wants them public operation on a full-cost basis may have to be con- sidered."
 The SPA also reported:
 1. That the government is hang ing on to its war-developed patents and inventions until Congress sets national policy on the govern ment'S place in scientific activity None have been declared surplus.
 2. That A airports and two port terminals costing the government some $355, ,000, 900 have been or are likely to be considered surplus, and that railroad companies are par. ticularly interested in the airportS
 The reports were made in con- formance with the Surplus Property Act requiring the SPA to inform Congress of the disposal of plant: and facilities costing s6,O0O.O00 ol more and to recommend disposa programs on various classes of sur plus property.
