Wedemeyer Report
BY the Associated Press

Secretary of State Marshall will
have something to say soon about
It. Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer's re-
port on his recent survey of condi-
tions in China, President Truman
told a news conference today.
Gen. Wedemeyers six-week .in-
vestigation in China and Korea last
summer was at Mr.. Truman's
request.
The general returned in mid
September and turned over his
findings to the President and Gen.
Marshall. His report has been one
of the best-kept Government secrets
in recent years.
Representative Judd. Republican.
OF Minnesota, who is leaving today
for China. Japan and Korea as a
one-man subcommittee of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee, criti-
cized Government authorities last
night for failure to disclose data
from the report.
Mr.. Judd said his own mission
would be simplified if he had some
inkling as to what Gen. Wedemeyer
found.
1t was reported at the time the
general left for China that he was
to obtain up-to-the-minute infor-
ma ton for guidance In this coun-
trys decision whether to renew
pressure on the Nationalist Govern.
ment and the Communists to get to-
gether, to back Chang Kai-shek's
government strongly, or to take .
more passive role.

Builders and Labor Conspiring
OnPrices. HOUSING Probe Hears

A House Labor Subcommittee
was told today that the building
trades are conspiring with Ia
Dor unions to maintain the high
cost of housing as well as limit
new construction.
Corwin D. Edwards, professor of
economics at Northwestern Uniyer-
sity and former Justice Department
trust t-buster, made the charge as the
subcommittee opened an investiga-
ton of labor practices In the hous-
ing field.
Although the subcommittee CEN
tered its investigation on possible
restrictive and monopolistic" prac-
tices by labor in the housing field,
Mr.. Edwards declared that the build
ing trades often work hand In hand
with labor unions.
Labor often Is q most effective
policing force for the construction
industry" Mr.. Edw rds declared.

.PUC Reverses RuIinq,
Approves Bus Service
For Benning Route
Streetcors to Continue
From RossIyn to 18th
And New York Avenue
By NewboId Moves, Jr.

The Public Utilities Commits
sion, reversing its previous rul-
ing, today gave permission to
the Capital Transit Co. to substi-
tute bus service for streetcar
service on the eastern part OF
the Rosslyn-Benning line.
The commission set aside its order
of March S, 1947, in which it de-
MED the transit company's request
to scrap the Benning carline and
ordered the company to modernize
its streetcar service instead.
Offering to present new evidence
the transit company asked the COM
mission to reconsider its decision
last April l. and prolonged rehear-
ings were held. The commission was
presented with a somewhat amended
proposal at these hearings.
In its ruling today, the commits
sion admitted the companys argu-
ments during the rehearing cast
serious doubts upon the feasibility
and practicability of the commits
sion's proposal to modernize this
rail service
THE commission deems it unfor-
tunate that the company failed to
present in support of its ap-
plication at the original hearings

sented In support of its amended
application at the reopened hear
ings," the commission chided, add

Files of the American consulate
were found intact and brought back
to Tsingtao. The consular official,
who refused to be named, said
there was no plan to reopen the
Chefoo consulate. He did not
further identify the "unscrupulous
elements"
There were reports that depart
ing Communists kidnapped a French
priest, a Chinese priest. mother
superior and Chinese nun who
were said to have been outspoken

James F. Byrnes that Great Britain
and Russia agreed in 1914 to set up
spheres of influence placing Greece

TT is true, however. that there
was some discussion in 1914 between
the big powers as to how best pres
sure could be brought to bear on
the enemy" the spokesman added.
LAS a result it was agreed that. mill
tarily, it would be best for Britain
to operate in and from Greece, leav-

All French Ports

Seanlen Strike
Reds Coll on Tronsit
Workers to Stoy Out
In Poy Rise Demand
BY the Assoeio,ed Press

PARIS, Oct. 16.-A strike of
10000 merchant seamen and
shore workers for wage increases
halted virtually all shipping in
French ports today as the gov
ernment strove desperately to
cope with Paris crippling trans
port strike.
One-tenth of Paris subway work
ers, represented by two independent
unions, voted to end their three-day
strike, despite the appeals of the
Communist dominated General Con-
federation of Labor (CGT to stand
firm. The CGT controls the key
personnel and could halt efforts for
a partial restoration of service.
In most ports, French and foreign
vessels were forced to dock without
the aid of tugs United States Lines
officials in LIE Hayre negotiated for
special consideration for the luxury
liner America, due at that channel
port tomorrow.
Seek Is Per Cent Increases.
Nine vessels were blocked in Bor-
deaux and four at LIE Havre by the
strike, in which seamen seek IS per
cent wage increases. A number of
other vessels were caught at Mar
seille, Cherbourg and other ports.
Socialist Premier Paul Ramadier,
noting that Frances municipal elec-
tions will be held next Sunday, has
suggested the subway and bus lines
strike was politically motivated.
Yesterday he succeeded in avert
ing nation wide railway strike
and last night he STAYED of threat
ened strike of Frances gas and elec-
tricity workers. who demanded inn
mediate application of the II per
cent increases In wages approved
in principle by the government last
July.
The Premier met with traction
experts today to find some means
of getting Paris stalled subway sys-
tenn working, at least partially, with
the $500 employees who agreed to
return to their jobs. The system
normally employs $4,000.
First Break in Front.
A member of Premier Rama
dier's staff said the strikers were
expected to return to their jobs
sometime today and soon after
ward motormen of the Independent
Subway Workers Union voted to
return to work this afternoon,
]. Tire vote by the motormen waa
the first break In the solid front
presented by the strikers since Mon
day.
A government informant said
union leaders had reached an
agreement with Pierre Moatti. Mr..
Ramadier's director of cabinet.
This source said the agreement stip-
ulated that the government would
study the strikers demands for
wage increases averaging II per
cent as soon as the walkout ended.
An official of the subway company
had informed the workers yesterday
that the government was planning
stern steps to break the strike, in
cluding requisitioning of the entire
subway system and its probable op-

Mr.. Edwards, who served as eco

mutual interests of construction

wives, farmers and war veterans to

By JONES 7. Newton

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16.-
Daniel J. Tobin. president of the
teamsters, and George Meany,
Federation Secretary-treas
emerged today as the strong
men, the undisputed rulers Of
the American Federation of La
Dor as the organizations annual
convention neared a close here.
The stormy meeting of nearly two
weeks witnessed the defeat of a
move by John L. Lewis and William
L. Hutcheson, head of the carpen-
tiers, to take over leadership of the
federation. Mr.. Lewis retired today
as member of the Executive Coun-
Gil, a voluntary retirement, after
math of his unsuccessful fight to
have the AFL ignore the Taft
Hartley Labor Act. Mr.. Hutcheson,
while still member of the council,
no longer was the dominating figure
he had been for Is years.
Peace came today to the conven-
ton. the stormiest meeting the AFL
has held since 1885 when the CIO
issue was first raised seriously. On
the agenda for the closing day was
the election of two officers and
members of the new Executive
Council and action on some more
or less routine resolutions.
1t was considered a foregone con-
clusion that William Green will be
elected president for his oath term
and that Mr.. Meany will be renamed
to his post. Twelve present members
of the council will be reelected
without opposition. There may be a
battle for Mr.. Lewis position. The
man given best chance to get the
spot is Daniel w. Tracy, president
of the International Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers and a former
Assistant Secretary of Labor. He
lives in Washington.
An offlcial of the United Mine
Workers was asked who would get
Mr.. Lewis council place.
ASK Dan Tobin," he replied, "he
and George Meany are running the
show"
Two highly controversial issues
were put aside for the time being
last night, averting an explosion
