UNIV AGAIN!

There were a lot of cracks floating around when the United Mine Work CTS started to organize farmers be- cause dairy products were part of the plastics industry. That the UNIV is concerned not only with the milk that COWS give but also with their hides was shown last week when the UNIV won new contract and an 1815c raise from the Riddle Footwear Co.,, Scranton, Pa.

royal navy sailors were killed.

stated that her acquiescence at this
time could not constitute a prece-
dent for the future.

tary general in charge of legal af-
fairs. said AIbania's acceptance was
"a good thing for the Security
Council and showed that both
parties have complied with the rec
ommendation of the Security Coun-
Gil"
Albania's acceptance of the juris-
diction of the court came two days
after American, Australian and
French delegates in the Security
Council demanded that Albania
show why she had failed to accept
the Security Councils recommended
ton that she appear before the
court.

Shaw Scorns Birthday Rubbish
As He Goes Into His 02dYeur

Mr. Shaw said he would spend
his birthday working as usual in
his outdoor study. instead of gadding
about the country and winding up
in London, where he maintains an
apartment. He went to London a
year ago-and still regrets it, he
says.
To anyone but Mr.. Shaw it might
seem a dull day: Up by $3.50 am.
for breakfast, a quick digest of the
news in his den not later than 10:30,
a vegetarian lunch about l pm. a
nap during which nobody dares dis
turb him, and then an evening OF
walking, working and fellowship
with old friends.
One Of Mr.. Shaw's dietary main
stays is a salad of chopped vege-
tables, which he says keeps my
head completely clear and prevents
my. thinking from becoming mud
dled-more people ought to try it. y
His health on the whole is con-
|sidered better than it was a year
ago. Only his eyes give him any
real trouble.

Cain Bill Asks End
OF D. T.. Income Tax

Senator Cain, Republican Of
Washington, introduced in the Sem
ate today bill to repeal the indi-
vidual income tax levy in the Dis
trict.
This measure is designed to re-
move what Senator Cain charges Is

trict revenue bill. He is chairman
of the Fiscal Subcommittee of the
Senate District Committee.
The bill would not repeal the in.
come tax on corporated and unin-
corporated business. Senator Cain
anticipates some substitute revenue
plan will be adopted.
The bill follows statement yes

Fowler that the city needs a sales
tax. Mr.. Fowler told the press he
fears District revenues will be in
adequate to meet the record-break-
ing 1948 appropriation bill signed

u. Sired Differences
Threaten 10 Stymie
Council on Balkans
u. N. Is Confronted With
Major Charter Crisis
In Debute on Greece
By the Associofed Press

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, July
26.-United States and Russian
differences over Interpretation
of the United Nations Charter
threatened today to block effec-
tive Security Council action for
peaceful settlement of the Bal
kan problem.
These differences confronted the
U. N. with a major crisis over the
Charter, since neither the United
States nor the Soviet Union would
bulge from their announced posi-
tions. The differences arose in de-
bate over the situation on the
borders of Greece with Albania, Bull
garia and Yugoslavia.
At the core of the latest develop
ment is an American proposal that
the Security Council set up an in
ternational commission to watch
over the Balkans with the power to
conciliate and investigate disputes.
The section of the U. N. Charter
in dispute is Chapter vi, which pro-
vides for peaceful settlement of dis
putes without using sanctions or
military force against the countries
involved.
Russia contends that a commits
sion established under this charter
has only the power to recommended
ton and does not have the right of
access to the territory of countries
involved without their consent.
Council Rulings Held Binding.
The United States argues that the
Charter gives the Security Council
the right to investigate wherever
and whenever it desires, whether the
countries involved like it or not.
Herschel v. Johnson, American
delegate, told the Security Council
yesterday the Councils decisions
were binding on all Nations.
ANY failure would lay the non
complying states open to serious
action to insure their cooperation"

Red Satellite Embassies
Spending Big Sums in
U. S., Mcdowell Says
BY the Associated Press

Representative Mcdowell, Re-
publican, of Pennsylvania said
today the embassies here of
Russian satellite nations evi-
IDENTIFY are spending tremendous
amounts" in this country to
court 100000 persons of Slavic
descent.
Apparently, Mr.. Mcdowell told re-
porters, the Soviet government is
at least some of the money.
The House Committee on Un-
American Activities, of which Mr..
Mcdowell is a member, is looking
into fifth column operations as re-
suit of secret testimony from DR..
MAIDEN Giunio' Zerkin, former
member of the Yugoslav army and
of the Yugoslav Embassy staff in
London. Mr.. Mcdowell said he and
a subcommittee heard Mr. Giunio-
Zerkin for two days last week and
the revelations were startling"
Hearing is Postponed.
A public hearing for presentation
of the former diplomats story was
postponed. Meanwhile, the commit
tee decided to make broad investi-
CATION of what all nations in the
Russian orbit may be doing in the
way of possible fifth column activ-
ity in America.
An attempt is being made through
the Communist Party in the United
States and through satellite en-
bassies, Mr.. Mcdowell said, to try
to gain control of Slavic groups
and sell them on the pan-Slavic
idea-that the Slavs should stick
together
The lawmaker said he had sent
letters to 20 Slavic leaders of I'M
questioned, loyalty to the United
States asking their cooperation and
Offering them an opportunity to ap-
pear at hearings later on.
Apparently all 20 are pretty
much concerned" about fifth column
maneuvers among Slavs, he said.
Subpoenas to Be Used.
Other persons who may be un-
willing to testify will be subpoenaed,
Mr.. Mcdowell said,
A date for the hearings has not
been picked. Probably they will
be held sometime this fall.
The committee yesterday finished
for the time being hearings on COM
munism in the labor movement. The
next hearings scheduled are on
communism in Hollywood, set for
September.
Two former Communists testified
the party has contaminated the
CIO-United Electrical Workers from
