Wafer Front Employees
Reject Arbitrator
BY the Assoeiofed Press

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 4-Hopes for
settling the four-day shutdown OF
cargo handling at Los Angeles and
Long Beach harbors diminished to-
day after a spokesman for the Wa
ter Front Employees Association said
an arbitrator named by the Secre-
tary of Labor is completely without
authority" to act in the dispute.
Ten freighters, caught in the tie
up, remained at their docks and
approximately 1900 members of the
CIO Longshoremen's and Ware
housemen's Union were not working
"The Coast arbitrator is no au-
thority whatsoever in a foremens
dispute" Frank P. Foisie, president
of the Water Front Employees As
sociation said The arbitrator Is
limited to matters under the con-
tract. If the foremen were covered
by the contract, presumably they
would not be on strike"
Walking bosses, members of the
ILWU, struck one of IL stevedoring
concerns in the harbors in support
of their demands that the union be
recognized as their bargaining agent.
Longshoremen were respecting their
picket line. The employers refused
to accept the union as bargaining
agent for the foremen, claiming the
bosses are part of management, and
closed down all cargo handling in
the two ports last Wednesday.
Statements regarding arbitration
came from the employers yesterday
after the Secretary of Labor named
Arthur G.. Miller, San Francisco, as
head of Pacific Coast Arbitration
Committee. William r. NARROW,
local manager of the WEA, said
arbitration is out of the question,
adding: I'VE are prepared to keep
the harbor closed indefinitely

AdIai Stevenson Willing
To Make Race for Senate
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 4-Adlai E.
Stevenson of Chicago, alternate
United States delegate to the United
Nations Assembly, said today tIat
he had not considered" running for
the Senate seat now held by Sen
ator Brooks, Republican, of Illinois,
but that if nominated on the Demo-
cratic ticket he would not refuse.
Mr.. Stevenson, former special as
sistant to the Secretary of State,
added, however, that before accept
ing the namination he would have to
consider the rest of the Democratic
ticket, including the gubernatorial
candidate, prospects of winning the
race, and many other factors. He
has been mentioned as a possible
candidate.
He said he would not take a job
in Washington but would return to
his home in Illinois at the conclu-
sion of the U. N. session.

Cardinal Motto of Brazil
To Preside at Moss Here

Carlo Camille Cardinal Voscom-

morrow at 10 am. in st. Matthews
Cathedral.
The cardinal is visiting here for

which he has taken hold Of affairs.
They intend from now On to keep
him in the limelight.
It has been suggested that there
is q historic parallel In this-the
Theodore Roosevelt Taft split. Mr..
Taft, it is argued, did not so much
desert the Roosevelt program; he
In fact aided 1t. But he chose his
own friends and let the T. r. crowd
slip away. Mr.. Truman. protesting
faithfulness to the Roosevelt pro-
gram has almost without exception
replaced the Roosevelt gang with his
own friends, most Of them tending
To the right in their economic views.
Mr. Hannegan is still suffering
from the apprehension which drove
him to Florida for q vacation. The
Boston specialist on whom he is
relying may tell him next week to
take another rest, he said, but he
expects to make some temporary
arrangements at committee head
quarters in that case and carry ON
indefinitely as National Chairman.

record Of the Republicans viii insure
the President the same independent
and liberal support which Mr.
Roosevelt so long enjoyed. Like
other Democrats, Mr.. Hannegan is
inclined to be plaintive on the re-
curing issue Of how much Roose-
velt fealty is being shown by Mr..
Truman. They point out that If
they speak often Of Mr.. Roosevelt
they are accused of running him
instead of the present President; If
they expatiate exclusively on Mr..
Truman's virtues, they are accused
Of deserting the old nag.
See Historic Parallel.
It seems obvious now that they
have decided the latter alternative
Is preferable. They are running
President Truman, who In their
lexicon does not get enough recog-
milton and credit for the manner in

According to Mr.. Hannegan most
of these, like others to whom Mr.
Truman has offered jobs in the ad-
ministration, prefer money making
activities to the comparatively mod
est Government salaries. Actually,
he said, he got few complaints from
the party's liberal wing except for
the professional complainers whose
livelihood depends upon it.

and were lucky to get to their places
of business before being torn apart.
A real estate dealer, after being
barked and snarled at by an Iowa
family, reached safety only because
he had presence Of mind to rub
garlic on the soles Of his shoes and
to cross and recross the Halifax
River to throw the Midwesterners
of the scent.
Schemers Blamed.
This outbreak of temper on the
part of tourists to Florida is the
result of the very cold weather
which the State has been having OF
late. They are convinced that the
freezing weather is a Machiavellian
scheme on the part OF those OF us
who live in Florida, just as if We
didn't spend half our time trying
to figure out ways to get them to
vacation here lest we go bankrupt.
T tried to explain this to the
madman who bit me, even as he
lunged at my throat.
where do you think this in
formal weather came from?" I
asked. "It came from your part OF
the country-the North. We don't
ever send you folks cold waves. I
oughta be biting you, not you biting
me-"
But he wouldn't listen, tourists
being unreasonable people when the
sun isn't raising blisters and the
soft breezes are not rustling round
their shoulder blades. This man
who bit me was much more able to
stand the cold without discomfort
than I, because he lives II months
a year where they use polar bears
for book ends, and children learn
to count by watching their relatives
freeze.
Sheets Do Garden Job.
The freezing weather we have had
hasn't hurt me as it has the citrus
growers, truck gardeners, nursery
men, etc., but it has cost me pretty
penny in laundry. As I recounted
several months ago, I am now q
violent amateur gardener. I crawl
up and down my rock garden yank-
ing up weeds and giving the old
college yell to petunias and their
friends, telling them to get in there
and fight, for the Oh McLemore
team.
Right this minute, every sheet we
have Is draped over the heads Of
shivering stocks, snapdragons, mas
turtiums, and roses. When the
sheets gave out, we turned to pillow
slips, handkerchiefs, afghans, table
runners, and all the rest Of the
things that make their home In
linen closets. Another drop In tenn
perature and down to the rock gar
den will go my shirts and shorts,
and jeans slips, panties and petit
coats. ... .....
In closing, what is, the antitoxin,
If any, for the bite Of q tourist?
My shoulder Is swelling, and spots
are beginning to appear before my
eyes. The tourist who bit me is
from upper Montana. Will the
serum given to Offset bite by
man from Montana work on friend
who was nipped by an irate Iowan?
Please let me know. The welfare
Of half a town hangs In the balance.

come to Washington. They'd operate
at home by television.
The Senator hasn't worked otN the
details of this operation, but your
Imagination can supply them. You
can picture the statesman talking
through their television sets to one
another:
:"Will the Senator yield?"
Fantastic But Not Funny.
II am happy to yield to my dis
tinguished colleague. I'm getting
kinda cramped here under the bed
In fact, + was about to move . TO-
minute recess so we could all roll
over"
Without allowing your imagina-
ton to run away with itself, you car
still see that Senator Wiley's coming
push-button Congress is going to be
something nobody should miss. Il
it sounds fantastic 1t Is no more SO
than something already happening
in Washington-somethingfa fantastic
but not funny.
The President named David E
Lilienthal to head the important
Atomic Energy Commission. The
whole country applauded. The pub
lie was pleased and press approval
was unanimous. When a Senate
committee opened hearings on the
nomination a long line Of eminent
citizens appeared to testify to Mr.
Lilienthal's capacity and character
There seemed to be only one dis
senter, the aged Senator from Ten
nessee, Kenneth McKellar, whose
hatred of Mr.. Lilienthal has become
legendary. AS head Of iva, Mr.
Lilienthal successfully fought OF
efforts of the Crump- -McKellar po-
litical machine to interfere in that
great enterprise. Senator Mcclellan
out for revenge, asked and was given
permission to question witnesses
Senatorial courtesy allowed him to
wander far outside the bounds OF
decency and to continue past the
point where the proceedings made
any sense.
Politics Crawl in Open.
Then former chairman of IVA,
Arthur E. Morgan, emerged from
nine years retirement and appeared
before the committee. Mr.. Morgan
was dismissed by President Roose-
veit for what the President called
"contumaceous conduct" the max
ing OF charges against Mr.. Lilienthal
which he could not substantiate,
either when questioned by the Presi-
dent or by a joint congressional
committee. Mr.. Morgan now re-
peatede these unsubstantiated ale
cations.
Suddenly what was happening be-
came clear. Politics crawled out into
the open. Senator Bridges, New
Hampshire Republican, announced
his opposition to Mr.. Lilienthal. Mr.
Lilienthal, he said. is New Dealer
New Dealers are left-wingers ano
left-wingers are sympathetic toward
Russia. We can't afford to take q
chance with Mr.. Lilienthal, he said
Senator Wherry spoke next. He
had no opinion as to the truth oi
the McKellar charges. but said the
post should 60 to man concerning
whom not shadow Of question
could be raised. This in Washing.
ton where a shadow can be raised
against anybody!
The real tip-of came, however
when it began to be whispered-ane
not denied-that Senator Taft wa.
preparing to join the objectors.
If it comes to be understood that
responsible Republican leaders arr
playing this political game with tht
awful possibilities of atomic power
Evening star., 1947-02-13

the new Republican regime is likely
to have brief life. Not even the
dignified Senator Vandenberg, the
aloof Gov. Dewey nor the earnest
young Mr.. Stassen may be able to
pull the party through in 194s.
