OF Rebel Democrats
Cited as Truman Aid
BY the Associoted Press

| Sam ONeal, Democratic national
publicity director, today cited the
defeat or withdrawal of about &c
'dissident Democrats as a sign that
| the administration coalition
may be broken in the Eightieth Con-
greSS.
| Writing in the current issue of the
Democrat official party organ, Mr.
O'Neal listed the defeats of Repre-
sentatives Slaughter of Missouri
Boren of Oklahoma as examples of a
trend he said was going against
Senators and Representatives who
have opposed and obstructed the
progressive Roosevelt Truman pro-
| gram"
In ALL" he said there are about
20 such Democrats who won't be
around when the Eightieth Congress
convenes. Most Of them were elm
mated by the Democratic voters in
the primaries. Some, probably sens
ing defeat if they ran for renomina-
ton, retired voluntarily"
Sees Coalition Weakened.
Mr., O'Neal said these "dissident
( Democrats were an indispensable
nucleus" Of the coalition with Re-
publicans. who. he said, had sue
ceeded in defeating or amending to
death some of the legislation pro-
posed by President Truman.

coalition may go, too he wrote
adding: AT least its effectiveness
will be considerably reduced"
| In an apparent effort to strengthen
the ties between nominees and ad-
ministration leaders, the national
committee is sponsoring a pre-elec-
ton visit of Democratic Senate and
House nominees to Washington, Mr..
ONeal revealed.
Wallace to Speak.
At series of meetings here. he
said the candidates will discuss cam
paign problems with National Chair
man Hannegan, will meet cabinet
officers and generally will be indoc-
trinated with the Roosevelt -Tru-
man party program
Also on the Democratic political
front, Secretary of Commerce Wal
lace said he will take the Repubh-
cans to task on the foreign policy
issue in a Madison Square Garden
speech in New York tomorrow night.
Mr. Wallace made his announce
ment to neWsmen as he left the
White House yesterday after a con-
ference with Mr.. Truman, at which

Coast Marine Firemen's Union dn-
dependent) would end the strike
The board may announce its de-
cision late today.
Reversal also probably would up
set Government wage-price policy
unless the Sterilization Board can
find way to justify the higher pay
with such policy to the satisfaction
of the rest of organized labor, which
almost surely would demand a simi-
lar wage increase.
Adding to the terrific pressure at
tending the Sterilization Boards de-
Iliberations, President Joseph Currar
of the CIO National Maritime Unior
said CIO sailors would strike II the
board grants striking AFL seamer
higher pay and does not apply it tc
the whole industry. Mr.. Currar

dominated Committee for Maritime

rent aH-coast strike was billed as
the No. l topic
Third Union Ready to Strike.
II the board, headed by 34-year-
old w. Willard Wirtz, former North
western University law professor
stands by its August % decision
there is no doubt that the strike will
be continued and intensified. The
Marine Firemen warned the board
they are prepared to strike at 6
am. tomorrow. joining the AFL
Seafarers and Sailors Union of the
Pacific The firemen now, like the
rest of maritime labor, are merely
staying off the job in observance of
seamen's picket lines.
In public hearing. the board yes
terday heard ship owners and op-
orators of all coasts appeal for re-
versal of the order which reduced
the pay raises they decided to give
contractually to the seamen and
firemen. The board was searching
for new evidence that might enable
it to change its decision and end
the strike. Aiterwsrd, Mr. Wirtz
was asked If he found such evi-
dence:
That's the $64 question: he re-
piled.
Board members studied records
Of the case overnight and met be-
hind closed doors at 1890 today
Mr.. Wirtz said a decision likely will
be made late today or tomorrow.
No Indication Of Decision.
There was little indication as to
what the board will do. 1t was,
however, strictly on the spot. Should
it stand pat on the earlier ruling
that a pay increase of $22.50 q
month for the f1remen and AFI
seamen on the West Coast and a
$3.50 raise for East and Gulf Coast
seamen are above pattern and in
fiationary, there seemed little the
Government could do to end the
strike. The board had ordered the
pay increases reduced to $3.50 A
month, In line with CIO raises OF
June IA.
The grip of the strike, meantime,
on New York's lifelines was eased
somewhat by decision of the AFL

citation, supporting the strike of the
seamen, to allow harbor tugboats to

Deadlock Continuing
In Hawaii Sugar Strike
BY the Assoeioisd Press

HONOLULU, Sept. 11.-Hawaiis
To-day -old sugar strike already has
cost workers an estimated $3.50, 900
in wages and there was no indi-
cation today of management and
labor breaking their deadlock over
wages and hours.
Fred Irwin, United States Com
missioner of Cancellation, said
study of the dispute was being made
but that neither side had made a
positive effort to resume negotia-
tions
1t was apparent that both sides
were dug in for long strike unless
the Federal Government took steps
to get the plantations back int,
production.

Truck Strike CurtaiIs
Furniture and Beer
Shipments 10 Capital

Furniture transfers, beer deliveries
and few drug store supply ship
ments to Washington are the first
to show local effects of the 11-day
New York trucking strike, several
warehouses, dealers and transport
companies reported today.
The effect in general, however.
has been comparatively light on
most businesses here, although
continuation of the New York tie
ups would cause serious shortages
and widespread public inconvenience
in this area next week. they
declared
An official of Allied Van Lines.
Inc, affiliated with furniture NOV
ing companies in all parts of the
country, said scheduled shipments
from New York have been held up
and many delays have resulted be-
cause of the necessity of rerouting
furniture vans from New England
and New York State to Washington.
He predicted that the situation
would be much worse" for prospec-
tive furniture and equipment NOV
ers here if the strike goes into next
week.
Food and particularly whatever
meat is available are not affected to
any appreciable extent this week by
the New York strike, food industry
spokesmen said. Most of the meat
comes from the Midwest and short
ages are attributed to other factors.
Hotels and restaurants in WASH
ington anticipate no difficulties at
this time because of the strike, as
sociation representative said.
The repeatedly increasing beer
shortage here is caused to a consid-
cradle extent by the stoppage of
truck deliveries from the New York
area A large distributor said.
Greater demand in recent days and
recently decreased deliveries from
some producers in this and other
areas have contributed to the beer
shortage. he explained.
A Peoples Drug Store representa-
tive said drug supply deliveries are
dropping off in a few lines because
of the New York strike, but there
has been no major scarcity as yet
in any important items. Adequate
supplies of essential drugs are be-
ing received by railroad, but may be
greatly curtailed if the railroads are
overloaded by possible spread of
the trucking strike, he reported.
Railroad shipment volume here, so
far as could be determined from un-
official accounts, has increased TO
some extent this week, but presents
no heavy problem as yet.
