U. 5. Embassy Stoned
By Colombian Rioters
Charging Imperialism
by the Asseeiotsd Press

BOGOTA, Colombia, Sept IL
Unruly crowds stoned the United
States Embassy and buildings hous-
ing American interests yesterday,
and students and bank employees
paraded through the streets shout
ing Down with Yankee imperia-
liSm."
The demonstration was touched
off by United States note to the
Colombian government seeking ter
mination Of certain privileges en-
joyed by the Flota Mercante Gran
Colombia, a merchant feet owned
jointly by Colombia. Venezuela and
Ecuador.
The disorders were climaxed last
night by a parade of 12,000 persons
to the building of the House of
Representatives. The stone throwers
smashed several windows in the
Embassy and other buildings and
special police guards protected the
property last night.
The Colombian House of Repre-
sentatives adopted.a resolution ex-
pressing the hope that the govern
ment would be 'intransigent In the
defense of the autonomy of our
nationals to use systems of trans
port which suit their commercial
activities"
Various quarters in Colombia
described the United States note as
an example Of "bad-neighbor
policy" although Acting Foreign
Minister Roberto Urdaneta Arbelaez
insisted the note was not a protest
but b consultation on existing

Exodus Jews Hinder
Screening by British
In German Camps
BY ,hs Assoeiotsd Press

LUBBOCK, Germany, Sept. Ii
British officials screening Jews from
the Exodus 1947 said today that the
refugees are being obstinate and
giving US plenty of trouble by try
ing to snag up the processes.
They made this comment at Pop
pendorf, larger of two camps near
here in which the 4.3ll Jews we're
placed after their forcihle debar-
kation Monday and Tuesday from
British transport convoy. The
refugees were brought to Germany
after failing to enter Palestine as
unauthorized immigrants.
In Am Stau, the second camp,
one Jewish leader told reporters,
we are going, to stay in these
camps and make the British rec
ognize us as PaleStinians We
insist on going to Palestine"
A veteran of the battle of the
Runnymede Park-one of the three
British transports-declared, I'VE
are going to continue the sitdown
strike we began on the ship"
Give Palestine as Home.
Oficials said that at both camps
most of the refugees, refusing to
tell their true national origins, gave
Palestine as their place Of origin
and Hebrew or Yiddish as their
only language.
This slowed the questioning at
Poppendorf, officials said. There
were four tables full of linguist in
terrogators, but at only one table
did they speak Yiddish.
German doctors, and nurses were
treating sick Jews at Poppendorf,
where eight men and 10 women
were hospitalized. some with in
juries inflicted by British soldiers
who evacuated two of the ships.
Mordecai Rosman. self-styled
leader of the Runnymede Park, held
in military police barracks, told
reporters last night the struggle be-
tween the passengers and troops
was a mistake.
Expected Tear Gas.
He said the immigrants had ex-
pected that tear gas, rather than
troops would be used in their re-
moval.
When the troops came, he de-
clared, Il was slightly wounded on
the head with truncheon-enough
to draw blood-but nevertheless I
tried to hold my own people back.

The Stors Form Editor

Science, which in the last decade
has mechanized the American farm
and produced tailormade crop va
rieties, may be credited with saving
the Midwestern corn farmers from
even greater disaster this year.
Beset this spring by floods, rain
and cold weather that washed out
or retarded planting, and later by
droughts and hot weather through
out the corn belt, farmers still will
harvest 2,403, 600 bushels of corn,
according to the report issued yes
terday by the Agriculture Depart
ment.
While this is the shortest corn
crop since 1896. given the same set
of circumstances before the develop
ment of hybrid corn varieties and
before machinery reduced planting
time from weeks to days, this years
corn crop might have been too small
to warrant notice by agriculture
statisticians.
May Receive as Much Money.
Furthermore, unprecedented high
prices for grain and livestock, ex-
pected by economists to continue
into next year, may mean that the
corn farmer will receive as much
money this year for his short crop
as, he did last year for the record
3,287 ,927 .00O- -bushel harvest.
The American corn crop means
livestock, and thus 1t is difficult to
arrive at the total cash represented
by corn in any single year. Only
about one-flfth of any years crop
is sold as grain, and large proper
ton of this goes either directly into
livestock as grain. or indirectly as
by-products from wet and dry mill
ing in corn deficiency areas.
AS the picture now stands, corn is
being quoted for September delivery
at more than $3.50 bushel. This
means that the corn-hog ratio,
normal when III bushels of corn
equals 100 pounds of meat, live
weight, is below average.
While economists expect some drop
in corn quotations when the new
crop is offered. it is the consensus
that high prices will continue
throughout next year.
Means Higher Meat Prices.
This will mean some decrease in
livestock numbers. In turn resulting

Chemical Union Votes
AGAINST Clio Alliance
On Hartley Act Issue

Although pledged to fight TO de-
feat labor's enemies in Congress,
the AFL International Chemical
Workers Union is shying away from
joint political action with the CIO.
After a hot hour of debate, the
chemical workers late yesterday de-
feated a move by Baltimore and
Canadian delegates calling for joint
political action with the C1O. The
vote was 1873 to II.
Protests against alleged Commu-
mist influence in the CIO were raised
by several delegates who objected
to a resolution proposing united la.
Dor action against members OF Con-
eress who voted for the Taft Hart
ley Act. The resolution was defeated.
Green Position Upheld.
The convention action upholds
the position taken by President Will
liam Green and the AFL Executive
Council against united political &C
ton prior to organic unity OF labor
groups.
The joint political action proposal
was offered by Joseph Barrett, John
G.. Wagner, John A. Martin and
William C. Weininger of the Balti-
more local.
Chairman John McEntee of the
Resolutions Committee, opposing
united action with the C1O, said
there was a plan some years ago
for labor to elect it's own choice for
Governor of New Jersey. 1t failed,
he recalled, after it was found the
CIO had put known Communist"
on It's campaign committees and
had printed leaflets urging mem
bership in the CIO, instead OF
fighting for labor's candidate"
Another delegate jumped to his
feet to say: You can't work with
the CIO because they are interested
in dramatics and publicity and Will
use publicity against you"
SPONSORS of the unity" plan
noted that AFL and CIO members
had worked together to achieve the
election to Congress OF Edward A.
Garmatz to succeed Representative
D'Alesandro. Democrat, of Mary
land, who resigned to become Mayor
of Baltimore.
In another action yesterday, the
convention urged a campaign Tor
Federal and municipal subsidies for
housing to provide rental quarters
for members of working class
families. Support also was voted
for a fight against adoption by
Canada of laws similar to the TAFT
Hartley Act.
The chemical workers were to
close their four-day convention to-
day.

Inquest Set Tomorrow
In RoweII Death as
Mcclure Is Held

Nixon Mcguire, 36-year-old ex-
pressman charged with the murder
of Mrs. Theodore j. Rowell, will
have an opportunity to tell his
story to a coroner's Jury at II 80 am.
tomorrow in the District Morgue.
While Mcclure was held without
bond pending the inquest, detectives
sought to untangle the events lead
ing to the death Tuesday night or
Wednesday morning of the 35-year-
old hotel telephone operator.
Mrs. Rowell died from blows on
the head, inducing a brain hem
orrhage. Deputy Coroner Richard
M. Rosenberg. who performed an
autopsy, said the blows might have
been caused by q blunt instrument
or a fall.
Where, why and how the blows
were inflicted have puzzled police
since MCGUIRE appeared at the third
precinct station early yesterday and
said he believed there was a dead
woman in his room.
Woman Found In Bedroom.
In his basement bedroom at 1919
I street NV. police found Mrs.
Rowell lying on the bed, one eye
discolored and her face swollen. She
was officially pronounced dead at
Galnnger Hospital at 4:40 am.
Protesting his innocence, Nc
CURE explained to police that wnen
he retired Tuesday night, Mis-.
Rowell had left the rooming house.
His story as repeated by Capt. Rob-
ert S. Bryant was that he was awak-
ened by Mrs. Rowell falling into the
room. When he tried to carry her
to the bed,- he dropped her several
times, Mcclure said.
He partly undressed the woman
and fell asleep. When he awcke
about 2:30 am. he found she was
dead, MCGUIRE told police.
Detective 1t. jeremiah Flaherty
said that a search of the room re-
vealed that the seat top of the
toilet had been removed and broken.
Pieces of it were found scattered
about the room.
In questioning Mcguire, police
learned he met Mrs. Rowell about
two years ago and that eight months
ago she left her husband, Troy
Rowell, an employe of the District
Employment Agency. Mcguire and
Mrs. Rowell had lived at the street
apartment about four months.
Held for investigation throughout
the day, MCGUIRE was arraigned for
murder before United States Com
missioner Needham C. Turnage after
DR.. Rosenberg's autopsy report. was
received yesterday afternoon.
Bond was refused and the hear
ing continued until Monday to per-
NIT police time to complete their
investigation and the coroner to
hold an inquest
Mrs. Rowell was the mother of
two children who are living with
her parents In Tampa. Fla.
Her body was relased to Mr.. Row.
