 Up to President

WASHINGTON, Sept 13.--H Influential Senators threw cold water today on suggestions for a special session of Congress to deal with emergency aid for Europe.
 Senator Millikin CR-Colo) told reporter that members will not look kindly upon a call for special session upon hullabaloo basis
 Millikin is chairman of the Republican conference, which in cludes all Republican Senators. Senator Vandenberg tR-Michp i, President pro tenpore of the Senate and chairman of the For eign Relations Committee, and Taft (R-Ohio), chairman of the Senate Republican Policy Group, pre- viously had frowned on calling the legislators back before next Jan uary.
 Senator Lucas of Illinois, Demo- cratic party whip. said he knew Iof no plans for a special session and that if one were called Con- gress probably would spend most 'of the time talking about politics and the 1948 election"
 But the decision is one for President Truman" Lucas adGcd.
 Aboard the battleship M ssouri, which is bringing President Tru- man back from the American defense conference in Rio de Janeiro, White House aides indicat- ed the Chief Executive has yet to be convinced that special session is needed.
 Senator Elmer Thomas tD-OklaD said he saw mo reason for session before the regular meeting four months hence and another Democrat, Senator McGrath of Rhode Island, declared there is mo reed to call Congress back until somebody is willing to make some specific proposals to US"
 Both Republicans and Democrats said that better idea might be to call back only the Senate and House committee which must com plete preliminary action upon any European relief legislation

 EARLY TODAY

A warehouse of the U. $. Forest Service was heavily damaged by a fire of undermined origin early this morning. Private estimates placed the extent of the damage at over $10000, but Forest Ser vice officials could make no es- timate pending a full inventory of the loss.

 The national convention, after the favorite sons have passed the reviewing Sand, becomes a great disorganized body of delegates, mill ing around like a band of sheep Howard said in an interview. Every State Chairman in the Midwest group will know prety generally the thinking of his delegation and in that hour of confusion, the organi- zatior will show it's strength.
 We don't hope to dictate, but we want to put ourselves in position so no one else can dictate
 Individual names of prospective Republican Presidential candidates aren't likely to figure in the Omaha meeting, the chairman indicated.
 States represented are Illinois, h. diana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, North and South Dakota, Wisconsin, Colorado, Ida ho, Montana, Utah, Wyoming and New Mexico.

STAND BARS AFl UNIONS
 FROM NLRB

CHICAGO. Sept 13.-lR--John l.. Lewis put the AFL in the same sta tus of noncompliance with the Taft Hartley Act as the CIO today, and more than 100000 workers were deprived of use of the Ma tional Labor Relations Board, at least for the time being.
 Lewis, alone among the 15-man AFL Executive Council members, held out in opposition to the prin- ciple of signing an affidavit that he is not a member of the Communist Party The United Mine Workers, which he heads, has barred Con- munists from membership since 1927.
 Action of the shaggy haired min CTS leader, in the teeth of the de- sire of his colleagues to sign the affidavit so the AFL's 105 unions could have access to the machinery of the NLRB, forced the Executive Council to announce it could not comply All officers have to sign or no AFL unions can use the board, under a ruling of NLRB General Counsel Robert N. Denham.
 The AFL has 7,500,000 members. The CIO recently claimed 6,800,000 workers in it's 49 industrial unions. CIO Vice-Presidents, meeting in Pittsburgh a week ago, declined to comply immediately, and put off a decision until the CIO convention in Boston, beginning Oct 13.
 Some AFL leaders say they now are in the same position as the CIO, because the issue is certain to go before the AFL's convention, too, in San Francisco in October.

 But before he's finished, what he's after makes so much sense that usually he gets what he wants
 ' This week Kaiser was in town again, ringing office doorbells, badgering bureaucrats, trying to sell another idea that we can't lick imitation until we have pro- 5 duction, especially production of steel.
 The idea is by no means new, but Henry has been pushing it harder than anyone else so far i; also, he's come up with some po- tent figures; they are aimed to disprove the arguments of Big { Steel that the nation has plenty of steel mills, can't afford to build more mills for fear of having idle plants on our hands later. This is { the chief reason for the steel bottleneck today-Big Steel won't . build new plants. i However, Kaiser has dug up fig ures to show that ever since 1901 the USA has built new steel plants
