Dewey Opposes Foot
For Europe at Cost
OF American Health
Crisis Can't Be Solved
By Vague GeneroIities,
Governor Declares
BY the Associated Press

ITHACA, N. Y, Oct. 10.-Gov
Thomas E. Dewey warned the
Nation today against thought
less or badly planned generosity
in feeding Europe at the expense
of American health.
An undeclared contender for the
1948 Republican presidential nomi-
nation, Gov. Dewey declared that
pleasant or vague generalities will
not do the job" of solving the world
food crisis.
Gov. Dewey, in radio broadcast
did not refer directly to President
Truman's program for voluntary
public food rationing.
1--WE need and we want to do our
honest share to feed hungry people
overseas until they are better able
to help themselves" Coy. Dwey said
but I'VE have at the same time a
prior and a binding obligation to
see that no American is poorly fec
as a bitter result of thoughtless OF
badly planned generosity on oul
part"
Millions of our families have al
ready been scrimping on food to the
limit.
THE high cost of living has forced
some of them to change their living
habits to a point which actually
threatens their health and vitality
Gov. Dewey participated in the
dedication of a new unit In Cornell
University's School of Nutrition.
Representative Hope, Republican
of Kansas told the gathering there
had been "too much emotion and
too little thinking" about high food
prices.
There is nothing unusual in the
behavior of farm and food prices
during and since the war;" hi
asserted
Gov. Dewey implied that the rest
of the Nation well might follow New
Yorks lead in promoting better
use OF what we have" rather thar
emphasizing lower consumption.
He created State Food Commis-
sion last week to help the public

By Joseph Young

Stringent new measures tc

undertaken by the Civil Service
Commission, it was learned
today.
The commission is extremely anx.
ious to avoid another leak" such
as the one which enabled the House

to discover that the names of some
members of Congress were in the

The civil service commissioners
who said they did not know the

names do not belong there and
should be removed. But they are

volve the names of other persons

easy one. For one thing, its off,

check its investigatory employees
anyway to determine whether they
are all trustworthy.

When the war ended, most of the
investigators were dropped owing tc
lack of funds These employees, fo1
the most part, had access to the

If one of these employees is in

it will be most difficult to prevent
future leaks.
One thing that probably will be
done is a thorough rechecking OF
the file list, with the removal of
names that shouldn't be there
Commission officials acknowledged
that some of the wartime investi-
gators were bit too Jealous in
placing names in the file.

Beaten in Council,
Snub AFL Banquet
Federation Recommends
Abolition of Its 13
Vice Presidents
Rv lanes Y Newton
By jones Y. Newton
Stoy Stoff CORRESPONDENT

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. TO-
John L. Lewis and William L.
Hutcheson, president of the
carpenters union, snubbed the
AFL's annual convention ban
quet last night after their new
alliance had suffered twin de-
feats before the Federation's
Executive Council.
The two men who at one time
controlled majority segment of
American organized labor were said
to be the only top AFL officials
absent as President William Green
and more than 1900 other Fedora
ton people took part in dinner
and dance at the Civic Auditorium
here.
Their absence from the affair was
noted widely and given significance
by earlier threats to pull their large
organizations out of the AFL un-
less their views prevailed on key
issues before the convention
Neither was willing to comment
earlier and neither could be reached
today
Were Soundly Beaten.
The two former big men of the
AFL were soundly beaten as the
Executive Council took the following
actions:
/. Decided to recommend to the
convention the abolition of all but
two elective posts-president and
secretary-treasurer-as means Of
getting around Mr.. Lewis refusal
| to sign a Taft-Hartley Act non
Communist affidavit necessary to af-
ford protection of labor law to 292,-
900 members of 'so-called Federal
unions. Such a move would shear
off 13 vice presidential posts, in
Guiding ones occupied by Mr..
Hutcheson and Mr.. Lewis.
2. Refused by vote OF IL to 2 to
recommend to the convention sus-
pension from the AFL of the Inter-
national Alliance of Theatrical State
Employees (stagehands) which has
been engaged in a long Hollywood
jurisdictional battle with Mr.. Hutch
Heson's carpenters over who should
erect movie sets.
Mr.. Lewis and Mr.. Hutcheson, it
was learned, were the only ones who
voted for the motion in the closed
session which was introduced by Mr.
Lewis for Mr.. Hutcneson. Mr. Green,
president of the 15-man council. alb
stained from voting.
Next Move Uncertain.
There was no direct indication as
to the next moves of the defeated
pair, but those who know Mr.. Lewis
pointed out it would be out of char
acter for him to give up without a
further battle. Conservatives in the
AFL still doubted that he would

but many here were not so sure. In
any event the defeats presaged a
lively fight when the two issues
reach the convention floor next
week.
This convention has witnessed the
first occasion in years that any one
in the AFL has spoken out against
Mr.. Lewis and Mr.. Hutcheson. Mr..
Hutcheson is said to have lost sup
port of the AFL's Building Trades
Department, which he in the past
has controlled. Opposition to the

Louisville Rent Rise
Made National Issue
AS Truman Hits Law
President Holds Act
Gives Creedon No Veto.
Over Local Boards

A S per cent rent increase In
the Louisville area had become
a national issue today as labor
unions and other protesting
groups expressed fears it pointed
to a countrywide trend, and
President Truman renewed his
criticism of the rent-control law
as plainly inadequate"
Housing Expediter Frank r. Cree
don granted the rent increase yester-
day on recommendations by the
Louisville Rent Advisory Board. II
was his first action under the new
law.
Asked for his views at a news con-
ference, Mr.. Truman said that the
new act gives Mr.. Creedon no power
to change any recommendation
made by a lawfully appointed rent
control board.
Truman Suggests Hearings.
The President recalled his words
when he signed the act-"plainly in
adequate"-and that he signed only
to prevent the removal Of all rent
ceilings and suggested public hear
ings before rent advisory boards
reached their decisions.
Checking back on his message OF
June 80 approving the act, reporters
did not find such specific language
but Mr.. Truman did denounce the
law and suggest that Governors
who nominate the advisory boards
could protect tenants and could
soften, although not avoid COM
pletely, the blow to rent control.
No hearings were held in the Louis
vile case.
A reporter informed Mr.. Truman
also that Mr.. Creedons Office was
refusing to make public the rent
recommendations as they are re-
ceived from the boards. Mr.. Tru.
man said this question had better
be taken to Mr.. Creedon. Within ar
hour, a Creedon spokesman sale
that "as of this minute" such infor.
nation would be supplied on request
Interpretation Questioned.
Some Capitol Hill opinion ran
counter to Mr.. Truman's interpreta-
ton OF the law as giving Mr.. Cree
don no veto power
An aide to Senator Myers, Dem
ocrat, OF Pennsylvania, author of q
bill to extend rent controls beyond
next February 20, told a reporter
that Senator Myers is convinced the
local boards have mo mandatory
powers
Union, consumer and other groups
reacted quickly after Mr.. Creedon's
move. The Washington Chapter Of
Americans for Democratic Action
wired him in vehement protest"
and said the Louisville case "has
ominous implication" for other rent
control areas.
H. w. Brown, president of the
International Association of Ma
chinists, urged President Truman to
dismiss Mr.. Creedon before his
policies bring on a cruel rent In
flation"
More Members Suggested.
Mr.. Creedon's decision. in the
Louisville case followed a contro-
versy which developed when the
Louisville local of the international
Association of Machinists protested
to him that the Louisville Control
Board was heavily loaded in favor
of real estate operator and land
lord"
Mr.. Creedon wrote the Governor
of Kentucky, suggesting that If the
board actually represented land
lord interests" the Governor should
nominate additional members tc
bring Landlords and tenants into
