Provisional MetalWorkers Coun-

of so former MMSW locals from
coast to coast.
The CIO board battle was ad-
mittedly furious. Murray de-
manded unanimous support for
the committees recommenda-
tions, but the CLOS left-wing
unions refused to accede even
after nearly a full days debate
in which tempers were frayed.
One anti-communist board mem
Der said that Murray expressed
Himself more violently against
Communism in the labor move
ment than ever before.
Murray Hits Commies
He quoted Murray as saying
Communism should be kicked
out of the trade union move
ment and its supporters with
it.P
1t was the first major instance
in CIO history that the national
organization was called on to
take over and administer the
affairs of an affiliate. Former
MMSW President Reid Robinson
was ousted from his position
and also dropped at the CIO
convention as a CIO vice-presi-
dent as the consequence of
charges within his own union
that he followed the Communist
Party line. His successor, Travis,
was characterized by the PMC
as "just as bad" in his political
convictions.

PAC Launches
1913 Campaign

WASHINGTON, May % -
(LPA) - A new and intensified
CIO Political Action Committee
campaign will be launched on
June Is and will concentrate on
/ the establishment of ward and
neighborhood organizations and
development of "PAC structures
along Congressional district
/ lines so that more powerful
political organization will be set
and ready to go in 1948."
Backbone of the campaign,
according to PAC Director Jack
Kroll who addressed a meeting
of 20 CIO editors here last
week., will be a nationwide
drive for 81 voluntary contribu-
tions from CIO members.
Build Local PAC
Funds collected in this cam
paign," said Kroll, Twill be de-
voted to building and strength
ening local PAC organizations
throughout the nation to fight
back against anti-labor Con-
gressmen who are seeking to eli
inmate American unions from
/ the American scene"
Next years PAC election
campaign will pay special atten-
ton to between 100 and 120
Congressional districts where
the CIO has strength. At. least
so full time people will be as
signed to PAC from various
CIO international unions.
Will Do Advertising
PAC Vice-chairman David j.
Mcdonald disclosed that PAC
would undertake a nationwide
advertising campaign wh h
may also involve radio and strip
film publicity.
Kroll hailed results of muni-
nicipal elections in Hoboken and
Passaic N. j., Minneapolis, and
Oakland, Cal, where labor-sup-
ported candidates emerged vic
torious as proof of the Ameri-
can peoples angry opposition to
the labor legislation recently
passed in Congress"
Citing specifically the elec-
ton victory of the Good Gov
ernment ticket led by Assembly
man John Grogan vice
president of the Industrial Union
of Marine & Shipbuilding Work
ers-in the Hoboken race, Kroll
emphasized that "thiS victory
was scored despite a bitter
labor batting campaign"

BRITISH LOAN

feet. Britain was forced to make
heavy inroads on its American
loan, and at the last report had
only $3.50, 900. 900 (M) of the credit
left.
Suspension Of the convertability
clause was described officially as
an emergency and temporary
measure. Further conferences on
the clause, and other terms of the
loan agreement, will be held.
The emergency action was re-
vealed by the publication of letters
exchanged between Snyder and
Hugh Dalton, chancellor Of the
British Exchequer.
Dalton emphasized in his letter
to Snyder that the suspension of
the free-convertability clause
should not be interpreted'' as a
permanent arrangement. AS a
long-range objective, he said, "free
convertability is an indispensable
element in British policy"
American officials said the de-
cision to stop dollar payments
from Britain to other countries S
will be effective at the close of
business today.
Dalton indicated that immediate
suspension was necessary.
"Unless this drain is checked at
once, the British government will
be unable to pursue the objectives
of international monetary and eco-
nonic policy expressed in the
Anglo-American loan agreement,
he said.
The British Cabinet official en-
phasized that payments between
the United Kingdom and the Unit
ed States will not be affected by
the action which is being taken" !"
Dalton also assured Snyder that
Britain would not make any more

on the convertability clause.
Snyder told Dalton that the Unit
ed States takes sympathetic note
Of the grave drains" 10 which Brit
aims dollar supply has been SUBJ
jected by the convertibility clause.
He said the drains "have run a
a rate greatly in excess Of normal
flow of current transactions, with
consequent peril to the currency
stability the loan agreement was
intended to promote.
The treasury secretary also
thanked Dalton for making it clear
that suspension of the convertible
ty clause would be Temporary"
The agreement on convertibility
was regarded here as the first
fruit of the conference which be-
gan Monday. The conference will
continue in session indefinitely.
Snyder told a press conference
later that the British delegation
has not asked for another loan

BALKAN
CONTINUED From Page Onej

the world caught Security Coun-
ell delegates by surprise as they
plodded toward the, decision-mak-
ing stage in Egypt's dispute with
Great Britain.
They had expected the action
but not SO quickly and on the heels
Of Russia's twin-veto.
Soviet delegate Andrei Gromyko
announced in the Council that Rus
sia would support Egypt's demand
for the prompt evacuation of Bri-
tish troops from the Nile valley,
but would not commit itself on the
Egyptian plea for control OF the
big Anglo-Egyptian Sudan.
Brazips Carlos Muniz proposed
as a compromise that the Coun-
Gil avoid any decision and tell
Egypt and Britain to settle their
differences in, private negotiation.
The Brazilian suggested that
both countries keep the Council
notified Of their progress, but
that otherwise the UN should not
try to decide on the merits OF
Egypt's complaint.
Britain tentatively accepted the
Brazilian proposal but Egyptian
officials, reportedly displeased by
it refrained from commenting
for the moment.
The United States also approved
the Brazilian plan for disposing OF
the case.
The transfer Of the Balkans prob
lem to the General Assem-
bly, was Americas answer to the
three Russian vetoes which have
blocked establishment Of long
range border watch along the from
tiers of Greece, Albania, Bulgaria
and Yugoslavia. The Western Pow
ers wanted the commission tc
stop an alleged plot by interna.
tional communists to seize
Greece.
Two Of the vetoes killed last
| ditch American and Australian
Balkans proposals last night. The
first was cast by Gromyko July
20 to kill milder American pro
posal calling for a commission tc
police the Balkans Cor two years
of more.
Should the General Assembly
fail to act, or toss the problem
back to the veto-bound Security
Council, the United States has
threatened to join other willing
nations in direct action to halt
the establishment Of a communist
government in Greece which
would be 'teubservient" to the
three Russian-dominated Balkan
countries.

$6e, ,ooo, 900. Clearly this cannot 30
on"
Under the convertibility clause,
countries trading with Britain since
July Is have been entitled to de-
mand, in effect, that they be paid
with dollars instead Of pounds for
goods and services.
Suspension Of the convertibility
clause does not apply to the Unit!
ed States, Dalton said. American
traders may still receive dollars
for goods sold Britain. In effect
the decision will stretch out the
loan and help insure the British
food supply, much of which comes
from the United States.
Dalton coupled his announce
ment with another appeal to the
British for continued hard work
until Britain regains her econom-
ic feet.
"In this emergency, idleness is
a crime" he declared. There is
no substitute for hard work if we
are to restore our national econ.
omy. Keep steady, work hard
and regularly. Save all you can
and realize that we are all in this
fight together"
Dalton's announcement was con-
sid.red so important to Britain S
precarious economy that it was
preceded by two-hour cabinet
meeting of all labor government
ministers except Prime Minister
Clement Attlee, on vacation in
Wales. It was understood Attlee
would return for the next cabinet
meeting Monday.
Dalton told the British people
that the American loan was run
ming out with sickening speed. Sew
en- hundred million dollars were
spent in July alone, leaving only
81, ,0OO, 900, 900, and one fourth of
this has been demanded by other
countries under the convertibility
clause so far in August alone, he
said.
Earlier, Lord President of the
Council Herbert Morrison admitted
at a press conference that Britain
would have to prove that she was
doing her best to regain her feet
financially before expecting more
American help.

However, last night it led into a

that further clues may be unearth-
