Bit of Good News.
One bit of good news has trickled
into the White House. At meetings
this week in Pittsburgh with which
CIO President Murray presumably
made contact-it is his home-the
third party takers in the Progress
sive Citizens of America, main Wal
lace hackers, were told CIO as such
would not join third party move
ment. CIO-PAC is far and away
the largest Of the old PACs, two
of which form the core of the pres
ent PAC.
This puts a considerable damper
upon the program launched with
such enthusiasm in Chicago. Local
CIO units or even State organiza-
tions may still be beguiled but the
national war chest will not be
opened.

Then, to remove any doubt as to

Aides Show Optimism
As Approaches
Governors Farley
By the Associated Press

EN- ROUTE WITH DEWEY. July
12.-Gov. Thomas E. Dewey today
approached Salt Lake City, where
he is expected to combine attend
ance at the annual Governors Con-
ference with further promotion of
his thinly veiled candidacy for the
Republican presidential nomination.
The conference, which opens to-
morrow and runs through Wednes-
day, gives Mr.. Dewey an oppor-
tunity to confer privately with most
of the Nations Is Republican Gov
ernors.
Gov. Dewey's apparent strategy
is to stay out of the linelight as
much as possible at Salt Lake City
and do some quiet political pulse
feeling and fence-building.
Optimism Manifest.
Optimism is manifest among the
New York Governors aides accom-
panying him on his four week West
ern tour. 1t appears to stem from
the warmth of the receptions he
has received and assurances of sup
port made by Republican leaders he
has met since leaving Albany a
week ago.
Even in Colorado, where Senator
Taft, Republican, of Ohio is said to
be potentially strong because of
his close friendship with Senator
Millikin, Gov. Dewey received q
warm welcome.
Five Colorado COP leaders board
ed the Dewey train at Limon, Colo,
and rode into Denver with him last
evening. Among the five were Rex
c. Eaton and Mrs. Eileen Archibold,
national committee members, and
State Chairman William L. Lloyd.
Mr.. Eaton said on arrival in Den
yer that he believed Mr.. Dewey had
a fighting chance" to win a ma
jority of Colorado's approximately
IS delegate votes at the national
convention in Philadelphia next
June.
Colorado Race "Wide Open"
Mr.. Lloyd said Gov. Dewey and
Senator Taft were the leading can
didates" and insisted the race was
wide open" in Colorado.
The Colorado delegation backed
Gov Dewey unanimously in his sue
cessful quest of the 1914 COP nomi-
nation.
Gov. Dewey stopped in Denver 90
minutes on the way from Kansas
City to Salt Lake City. The Gov
ernor revealed that before leaving
Kansas City he talked by telephone
with former Gov. ALT M. Landon,
1896 Republican presidential candi-
date, at Topeka.
Mr.. Landon was the sole tophight
COP leader who did not call on
Dewey at Kansas City. He ex-
planned he had see the Governor
recently in New York State.
At the Governors conference,
Gov. Dewey, like most of the vet
eran State chief executives, will be
out OF the speaking limelight, having
been assigned presiding roles at
round-taDle discussions. Gov. Dewey
will preside at a panel on tax and
fiscal matters.

Reuther and Adde's Clash
On Merger Of Clio Unions
BY the Associofsd Press

DETROIT, July ia noisy audi
ence heard a debate last night
between Walter P. Reuther and
George F. Adde's on the proposed
plan for merging the CLOS Farm
Equipment Workers with the United
Auto Workers.
Mr.. Reuther, president. and Mr.
Adde's, secretary of the UAW-CIO
have been at odds over the mechnics
of the merger plan. So far in a
referendum of the U'7V member
ship, the plan has be q losing out
"If this plan succeet,, we will be
threatened with bureaucratic

plant against giving the F-E imme-
date full voting rights.
On the other hand, Mr.. Adde's said

it was only fair for them to be given
the same rights and privileges" as
union members in previous merger

Self-Portraya| Of Pope

NEW YORK, July IL (NANA).-
The Catholic -Monarchist newspaper
ABC of Madrid reports that Pope
Plus XII will portray himself in an
Italian movie now being shot in
Rome. The film, in which the Pom
tiff will speak in seven languages, is
called war Against War!"
The film deals with the efforts of
Vatican diplomats to avert World
War II and the subsequent efforts
of the Catholic church to bring
about a negotiated peace. The plot
is laid mostly in the Vatican chan
cellory, but will show scenes also OF
the .papal residence at Castelgan-
dolfo. Msgr. Montini, acting Vati-
can-secretary of state. has approved
the 1000 feet of film so far shot
under the direction of the italian
producer, Alessandro Blaseti.

This Changing World
Moscow's Puppet Slavs Seen Preparing
For Showdown in Balkans, Greece
kanS, Greece

the Balkans are preparing for q
showdown on Greece.
Latest reports received In Wash
ington official quarters indicate that
the situation in that country has
reached the boiling point. The
prompt and drastic measures taken
by the Athens government to sup
press a major Communist rebellion
in Athens and other principal cities
has temporarily averted a Com
munist coup d'etat. But this does
not mean that another such at
tempt may not be successful in
the near future.
Moscow is not interested merely
in annexing Northern Greece and
the ports of Salonika and Kavalla
to the puppet Macedonian Peoples
Republic, but is determined to place
the whole country behind the iron
curtain. This explains, belatedly
why in 1945 Russian diplomats were
so emphatic in their approval that
the Dodecanese Islands should be
taken from Italy and turned over to
Greece.
Official reports received in Wash
ington in the last 48 hours indicate
clearly that another Communist
coup will soon be attempted with
the view to taking over Athens.
Meanwhile, the guerrilla forces
fighting in the north have increased
their attacks and are reported to
be arriving from Yugoslavia In
larger numbers than in the past.
Estimate of Situation.
The official estimate of the situa-
ton is that if a coup to capture
Athens and its port, Piraeus, is not
Immediately successful, the guerril-
las will try to push back the govern
ment forces and establish a free,
democratic" government on the
Moscow pattern with its capital
probably at Larisa.
The War and State Departments
are worried. The Truman Doctrine
provides for assistance to countries
whose national existence is threat
ened by attacks and inf1ltrations
from abroad. The U. NJ, the su-
preme tribunal to which such mat
ters are supposed to be taken, has
proved itself so far powerless to
cope with the Greek situation be-
cause of the Soviet bloc's attitude
The War Department is concerned
because If it ever comes to actual
implementation Of the doctrine, 1t
has very little with which to do
the job. The loan granted to Greece
cannot be turned into actual mill
tary support overnight. Dollars
cannot fight guns, bayonets and
planes, and it will be some time be-
fore Greek forces can be equipped
with the means to fight.
Logistically the United States is
at great disadvantage while the
Russians are practically in Greece's
back ward.

prices, she says.
Blown hither and thither on the

says, prices are finding their natural

The lady is connected with the

Joint Congressional Committees job
to consider the economic report Of
the President. The President pro-
posed that Congress do something
about prices, although he didn't ask
that price controls be restored.
Why They Look Different.
"In the absence of any effective
action by the Government" said the
lady, nothing will bring prices
down except consumer resistance.
Well. here and there, consumer re-
sistance has occurred, but it usually
has been brief and not very general.
Prices have dropped just long
enough to be seen and then have
whooshed out of sight again.
THE reason the so-called saucers
have looked different to different
people is that they are prices of
different things. That flying buzz

Of Mystery of Flying Saucers

shucks, I've seen them myself and

and all kinds of cotton goods. All
up in the stratosphere, but occa-
sionally visible. Here, read the lat
est report of the Bureau Of Labor
Statistics on prices:
You remember the very first re-
ports on this phenomenon told OF
discs in the sky over wyoming,
chasing each other around in circles
before they disappeared. Obviously
that was the retail price chasing
the wholesale price, which was

Report busted OF.
AS for the Joint Congressional
Committee, it has busted off the
Presidents economic report and is
hearing some witnesses on the SUBJ
ject of prices. Albert Goss, master
Of the grange, offered that farm
organizations solution. This would
be a voluntary agreement between
labor and the major industrial con-
Germs on wage and profit ceilings,
the resulting savings to be passed
on to the consumer in the form
of lower prices. He was disposed to
be tender toward the farmer, but
admitted that some food prices are
too high. This he attributed, in
part, to faults in the present parity
formula by which the Government
undertakes to support farm prices
in order that the farmer may hold
mis- own.
For labor, Matthew Woll, vice
president of AFL, suggested food
prices must come down; otherwise
workers will be pressing for wage
increases. Wage increases to date
he argued, have not caused price
increases-have only taken up the
slack and helped prevent an eco
nomic collapse.
Clarence Francis, General Foods
Corp. chairman, gave the baffled
committee some comfort by fore
casting a IS per cent drop in food
prices by harvest time next year
Food is now getting an unusual
share of the consumer dollar, he
said, and will have to meet stiff
competition from automobiles, ap.
|pliances and housing. But Joe

economist, predicted that people
would stop buying automobiles be-
fore they stopped eating.
