'one nation aione"-Soviet Russia
responsible for the worlds present
unsettled state.
And, he said in statement yes
terday, the United States may have
to rearm and indefinitely continue
shipping surplus food to stave off
starvation elsewhere unless there is
a change in International relations
Mr.. Hoover, who will be 73 Sun
day, recently carried out a world
food survey at the request of Presi-
dent Truman. He said that another
year after the wars end finds the
earth without peace, little recovery
in prodution, increasing danger OF
starvation abroad and alarms OF
another world war"
"One nation alone, by refusal oi
Cooperation and destructive acts
is responsible" he said.
IF we are to reverse this tide Of
disaster then free nations have but
one of two possibilities.
First, cooperation from Russia
which is possible.
Second. making peace among the
peoples outside Russia and her sat.
elites, together with subjugation OF
her international poison squads
which is impossible.
IF neither is done, then an armed
United States can live in reasonable
comfort, use our food surplus te
stave off starvation and wait, ever

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Aug. g.
Marshal Tito charged today in ar
interview with his State controlled
news agency Tanjug that recent
American actions indicated at
tempts are being made to isolate
us, and some kind of economic
blockade of our country is being
carried out"
This was one of the reasons, he
said, why Yugoslavia refused tt
participate in the Paris Conference
on the Marshall proposal.
Il think, not only for us, but also
for other peoples in Europe, the
best aid would be leaving us ir
peace, so that alone we might take
care of ourselves and build ourselve:
up according to our possibilities ano
knowledge" the Premier said.
Calls U. N. Group Biased.
Marshal Tito gave the interview
exclusively to the director of Tanjus
and charged that some military
circles of the western powers" en-
couraged sabotage and terrorism or
Yugoslavia's Austrian and italian
frontiers, that the United Nations
subcommission studying the Greek
situation was biased in favor oi
"Monarcho-Fascists'' and that
Yugoslav border troubles were linked
with Greek charges against Yugo-
slavia in "a definite aim"
Detailing his chief grievances
against the western powers ano
especially America Marshal Tito
gave this reason for rejecting the
Paris conference bid:
Past experience with the West
ern countries, and especially with
America-or more precisely with the
American ruling quarters-has con-
firmed the conviction that we can
not expect these circles to give us

Labor Storms Brew
| As Ching Takes Over
| New Mediation Body
BY the Associated Press

Fresh storm signals flew on the
labor front today as Cyrus S.
Ching took over the task of set
ting up the brand new Federal
Mediation and Cancellation Serv-
Ice two weeks hence.
Harry Lundeberg. top boss of AFL
sailors, said yesterday in California
that regardless of the Taft-Hartley
labor law, his men won't work
after September 80 unless they get
a closed-shop agreement.
The law forbids new closed-shop
agreements after August %, the date
it becomes fully effective.
Mr.. Lundeberg led a Nation wide
strike of seamen last September.
Mr.. Ching, II, New York Re-
publican and well known as indus
trial relations chief of the United
States Rubber Co., was appointed to
the new mediation post by President
Truman yesterday
Replaces Cancellation Service.
The new organization comes into
existence August % under the Taft
Hartley law, replacing the present
Cancellation Service in the Labor
Department.
Mr.. Ching's agency will be inde-
pendent of the Labor Department.
All present Cancellation Service
personnel, about 425 persons, will
be transferred automatically to the
independent agency, but Mr.. Ching
Is expected to make several changes.
The new mediation service will
have authority to enter labor dis
putes and, once in, will have more
legal power than the present setup
directed by Edgar L. Warren.
This Is partly because the new
law, listing FMCS functions in de-
tail, lays heavier obligations on
unions and employers to meet and
seek agreements.
New Agency More Restricted.
In some ways, however, the new
agency is more restricted than the
present one. For example, the FMCS
is confined to cases with an inter-
state commerce angle.
On the other hand, labor concili-
ators expect 1t to have more cases,
mainly because of a clause in the
Taft-Hartley Act which requires
the filing of notice go days before
any contract can be reopened or
terminated and then a notice to the
FMCS if the dispute is not settled
80 days after the original notice.
Mr.. Ching was an industrial men,
ber of the Depression born National
Recovery Administration and served
for a time as a member of the War
Labor Board. His appointment will
be subject to Senate confirmation
