 Comments on Lewis

Boston, Oct. 17.-LR- Philip Murray was reelected president of the CIO by exclamation today and promptly rejected the latest invi- tation to return to the AFL with caustic remarks about John L. Lewis.

 Alluding to differences between the United Mine Workers presi- dent and other AFL leaders, Mur- ray said Lswis is sitting by the side of the road, and he's lament ing his position
 Murray then declared: Maybe in the spirit of ego or in Q flour ish of bombast he might stick out his oversized chest and say some unkind things about me.
 But who the hell am I? I just happen to be simple-minded in- dividual with enough strength in my forehead to make the sign of the cross"

TRUMAN CAUSES
 TROUBLE
Position on Price Controls Puts Issue SquarelY
 Into 48 Campaign

WASHINGTON, Oct. I'M President Truman appeared today to have left his own party di- vided on the issue of government price controls while projecting the high cost of living squarely into the l948 campaign.
 Politicians generally said MT. Truman's statement that he has some interesting figures on price rises indicates he will give the nation his version of how and why living costs have scared when Ee feels the proper time has ar rived.
 But he left both Democrats and Republicans somewhat confused when he said at his news confer ence yesterday that rationing and government controls, which he said includes rent controls, are the methods employed by police state
 The President emphasized that he was trying to get a free en- tsrprise nation to accomplish vol- untarily in the conservation of sood what police states do by force.
 Senator Pepper (D-Fla), who said that MT. Truman undoubt- edly will be renominated by the Democrats, told reporter he can't agree with the President that there would be anything smacking of a police state in the return to ra- tioning and price controls the Florida Senator has been urging.

The W ashington Merry Co., Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-U s. Army-Na- wy strategists have estimated that the United States has until 1851 before Russia produces the atomic bomb in quantity, even though she probably has the secret now.
 During these next three years, therefore, the Government faces the grim task of quietly briefing it's doctors for a possible atomic war. Proper medical know-how, it is es- timated, will reduce fatalities by from 25 to 40 percent--in case of an American Hiroshima.
 The special atomic medical course already has been given a trial run behind closed doors. It has also been repeated before select groups of Army and Navy officers, includ- ing British observers. As soon as it is agreed how much can be told safely, the classes will be thrown open to the full medical profession. Instruction will be boiled down to five days, and will cover the fol- lowing high points:
 1.-CaSualties from an atomic explosion caused by concussion, fly ing debris, or flash burns. Best pro- lection against the first two is shelter, preferably underground. A loose fitting, all-white outer cover ing will be developed to ward off flash burns.
 2.-Indivlduals within mile of the bomb blast are exposed to a

President Green Pleads for Unity, Solidarity
 Lewis Still Peeved

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 17---lR- Executive Councilmen of the Amer ican Federation of Labor convene today to plan the organization oi ''labor's educational and political league" for it's richly financed fight against the Taft Hartley law and all who propounded it.
 The AFL convention itself ad- journed late yesterday with a unity plea by its reelected, 74-year-old President William Green:
 Forget petty bickerings. I beg, I plead for unity, for solidarity"
 The United Mine Workers - Greens own union, now led by John L. Lewis-were not present to hear him. Like Lewis, they pass ed up the final session, in the wake of Lewis defeat by the convention over the hot issue of non- -Commun- ist affidavitS. The convention el- minated l3 vice presidents, includ- ing Lewis, to circumvent his refu- sal as vice president to sign such an affidavit
 But a spokesman said the miners absence yesterday did not indicate any plan to pull out of the AFL.
 The vice presidents, except Lewis, emain members of the Executive Council. Replacing the miners lead CT is newly elected Councilman Daniel Tracy, President of the Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. It was no contest; Lewis simply walked out.
 Before adjournment, the Fedora tion reelected George Meany, plum bers chief, as secretary-a post which many believe keeps him in line to inherit the Green mantle if and when the President retires. With teamster boss Dan Tobin, Meany has emerged as one of the most powerful of the AFL clan.
 Although councilmen today are expected to discuss only prelimin- ary steps, the AFL assessed mem bers to raise a s3OO0,ooo campaign fund.

BIG PROGRAM
 I5 PROPOSED FOR ALASKA
To Insure Basic Economy, Permanent Population,
 Impregndb|e Defenses
By CHARLES D. WATKINS

WASHINGTON, Oct. l7.-tRt-A coordinated government program designed to insure basic economy, permanent population and impreg- nahle defenses for Alaska is being prepared.
 William E. Warne, Assistant Sec retary of the Interior, told a re- porter today discussions have not gone far enough for announcement of any details but it is hoped a master plan will be ready for sub mission to Congress next year with a request for immediate action.
 One item under discussion is a five-year housing program for the Territory.
 Warne heads an interdepartmen- tai group which includes represen- tatives of the Army. Navy, Air Force, Agriculture and Commerce Departments, Maritime Commis- sion, Public Works Agency. Federal Housing Agency Federal Security Agency and Reconstruction Finance Corporation.
 Hous ng Program
 Warne recently spent a month in the Territory. He said 1t is neces- sary to speed the housing program because the situation is desperate and worse than any other place in the nation
 We hope for immediate action on the program when it is formu- lated Warne said, "and believe it will have to extend over five year period.
 Just how it will be worked out we can't say yet. We are going to investigate to find out which areas will need additional legislative and budgetary attention and make our recommendations to Congress. The whole program will have to be kept within appropriations"
 Empty Store House
 The Territory is just big empty store house, with less than 100000 population he continued.
 We need permanent and larg- CT population, need to provide basic economy for the Territory and provide adequate national de- fense which not only will benefit Alaska but the United States as well.
 That adequate defense for the Territory is one of the most es- sential things we face at the pre- sent time
 Best Of Detenses
 Members of Congress who have visited the Territory this summer, including Senator Capehart (R- Indl and Rep William A. Dawson CR- Utah), have said they believe the Territory should be given the best defenses possible.
 They said if an attack was made on the United States they felt cer- tain it would come through Alaska.
 Delegate Bartlett of Alaska this week also called for an immediate defense program to prepare the Territory for any kind of attack that may come and Senator Cain (R-Wash) has proposed increased defenses.

AS part of the program,
many of the old-time Zion
hymns were sung. Two of DR..
Dowie's favorite passages of
Scripture were read, namely,
the Thirty-fifth Chapter of
Isaiah and the Ninety-first
Psalm.
Pastor Erickson used as his

TWO MILLION Sc MEALS
SENT OVERSEAS FOR
FAMINE RELIEF


of the newly developed Multi
Purpose Food, costing less
than &c per meal, have gone to
famine sufferers overseas thru
the Meals for Millions Founda-
ton, Incorporated last July for
the prevention of starvation.
Multi-Purpose Food was de-
veloped by DR.. Henry Borsook,
Professor of Biochemistry at
the California Institute f
Technology. 1t is derived from
the processed soy bean, forti-
fled with essential minerals
and vitamins. It provides those
nutrients, particularly protein
of high biological quality, usu-
ally available only in scarce,
expensive foods. 1t is the ap-
proximate nutritional equival-
ent of meal of beef, green
peas, milk, and potatoes.
When other foods are added in
small amounts, MPF assumes
the flavor of the added item,
making it adaptable to person
al preference and avoiding
monotony. 1t readily integral
es with traditional foods while
fortifying them with nutritive
essentials. It is entirely a veg
etable product and does not
violate any religious or dietary
law. 1t can be prepared
with primitive facilities requir-
ing only enough fuel to boil
for 10 minutes when water is
added. It can be used in soups,
loaves, and stews, thus over
coming the reluctance often
displayed, even by hungry peo-
pie, to try new or unaccustom-
ed foods.
The Foundation is now
launching it's first nationwide
appeal for memberships and
food-purchase gifts. An ex-
tensive membership drive was
deferred until the Foundation
could demonstrate it's ability
to provide a meal for each &c
contributed for such food pur-
chases. Book records on ship
ments to Asia and Europe
show that each &c has not only
provided a meal but that gift
donations of MPF (Multi-Pur-
pose Food) to relief agencies
have exceeded obligations by
over 5000 meals.
The Foundation is asking A.
merlcans, who are concerned
with our obligations to those
less fortunate, to become men,
bers of the Foundation, in ad-
dltion to sending their gifts for
food-purchase contributions.
1t the Foundation is to make
a major contribution in the
present emergency, as it has
now demonstrated it's ability
to 90, it needs the support of
thousands of memberships.
These memberships will make
it possible to maintain and ex-
pand the educational and re-
search program and to publ
CHE the existence of the Foun-
dation: Memberships are a.
valuable at $500, $1,000, $25
and upward to $4,000.

after sowing.
Seed should be started at about
tho same time as that of the an
nuals, such as zinnias and mari
colds. The secret of success Is to
get the seedlings to transplanting
size early enough SO that when set
in their permanent places in garden
or border, they will get good root
hold before cold weather comes on.
A specially prepared seed bed or
seed box is best for starting peren-
NAL seeds. A seed bed can be easily
prepared by knocking the bottom
out of good-sized shallow wooden
box and sinking the sides into the
ground. The top should be about
two or three inches above the sur
face. Use finely prepared, crumbly
garden loan containing plenty of
humus. It is important to locate the
seed bed where it will be sheltered
from strong winds and from sunlight
during the hottest part OF the day.
A seed box or flat may also be used,
with holes bored In the bottom for
drainage. This has the advantage
Of being movable to sheltered loca-
tons when necessary.
