Developments which materially affect
both programs but most seriously
that for Greece. The Greek cereals
harvest has been reduced by the
general European drought, and by
guerrilla activity, to a point where
the expenditure OF foreign exchange
for food imports will be great deal
more than originally estimated If
hunger and starvation are to be
avoided.
"Intensifcation Of military oper-
ations in that country has necessi-
tated a transfer of funds from the
economic to the military program.
Rising prices in the United States
and elsewhere have reduced the buy
ing power of foreign exchange avail
able to the Greek government, with
| the effect that greater sums than
were anticipated must be spent for
minimum basic essentials. An added
factor in Greece is that exports have
not, because of internal economic
and security conditions, reached as
| high a level as might reasonably
have been expected some months
ago.
Difficulties to Be Overcome.
'"The difficulties which hamper
the success of this program must be
overcome. Continuation of marginal
subsistence only in Greece, without
real progress toward recovery, will
provide fertile ground for totali-
tartan ideologies.
Our missions in both countries
are striving to achieve one main
objective-that of helping free peo-
pies in their effort to maintain the
form and composition of their gov
ernments in accordance with the
wishes of the majority. If this end
is attained, every dollar that we
have or will put into Greece and
Turkey will have been fully justi-
fled. The United States, in accord
ance with its obligations under the
United Nations Charter, will have
served all peace-loving nations Of
the world in contributing to the
security and well-being of a vital
area, which, under circumstances
of economic collapse and disorder,
would threaten peace and tran
ouillity throughout the world" ~.

self will take up another six weeks

Mr.. O'Donoghue's letter on the
trial board proposal, addressed to
Commissioner John Russell Young,
said:
In view of the wide publicity
given to the recent investigation and
subsequent report by the Corpora
ton Counsel's Office on Chief Muir
phys administration of the Fire
Department, and in view of my own
thorough investigation of the So
called charges Of Capt. Conroy that
since Chief Murphy was appointed
fire chief he has contributed moth
ing but decentralization to our de-
partment, I feel that, in the inter-
est of the Commissioners and in de-
fense of Chief Murphy, as well as
in the public interest, that charges
should be filed against Chief
Murphy on the basis of Capt. Con-
roys charges that he has demoral-
lied the Fire Department and that
trial board be convened of three
laymen of the District of Columbia
for the hearing of these charges.
Asks Public Hearing.
Chief Murphy could not very
well function efficiently as a fire
chief unless these charges were
publicly aired and heard, and by the
same token, the public would have
no confidence or trust in his ability
as a fire chief and the Board OF
Commissioners, likewise, would have
4 serious doubts as to his ability tc
Il function as a fire chief.
1--WE would welcome a pertinent
hearing on Capt. Conroy's charges
that the Fire Department has been
demoralized under Chief Murphy s
regime.

At the congressional hearing last
June, where the opening gun was
fired in the long -smoldering con-
troversy, Capt. Conroy testified un-

administration Chief Murphy had
contributed nothing but demoral-
ization to the Fire Department"
The remark was made in the
presence of the District Commits
sioners. Mr.. Young subsequently
called Capt. Conroy to the District
Building and told him he would
have to make good" on his state
lment.
II Capt. Conroy then made a writ

along lines of personal political ma
chimes, more than on theological
lines. There are many shades Of
thinking in the Adde's group. Mr..
Reuther himself, a former Socialist,
is the opposite of conservative In his
economic views.
The convention expected to take
up late today, or perhaps later In
the week, the issue Of whether
UAW officers should sign the nom
Communist aff1davits. These are re-
quired by the Taft-Hartley lay be
fore the union can file complaints
and petitions with the National
Relations Board.
Reuther's Keynote Speech.
Mr.. Reuther yesterday in his con-
vention keynote speech said that II
Congress failed to roll back prices
the UAW must start an "all-out
campaign" for wage increases.
Mr.. Thomas last night referred
to this and shouted: There's nc
hope of this reactionary Congress
rolling back prices"
He called for the use of "all our
economic strength-strikes If neces-
sary-to fight the Taft-Hartley Act.
Mr.. Reuther got a big cheer II
his convention speech when he said;
"This convention should reafirm ir
clear and unmistakable language the
policy of the CIO. When 1t says that
the CIO resents and reflects the in.
reference of the Communist Party
or any other outside political party.
Mr.. Adde's last night said Mr.
Reuther has already started hi.
campaign of Red-baiting," and thai
this sort of thing helps management
to attack unions.
Acknowledges Lewis Money"
In another development in tht
unions political dispute, Mr.
Thomas acknowledged there prob.
ably" is John L. Lewis money" tr
the campaign against the Reuthel
forces.
He came back with a charge thai
management money" is being usee
on the Reuther side.
Mr.. Reuther said at news con.
ference Saturday that money from
Mr.. Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers, AFL, has been put
Into the UAW campaign. Mr.
Reuther added that nobody has the
power to lead part of the UAW out
of the CIO, implying that the mine
workers sought to take part of the
JAW membership into District SC
Of the UNIV.
Mr.. Thomas, in a speech Last
night, referred to the Reuthel
charge and said, Ear be 1t from me
to cause any split in the ranks Of the
UAW."
Later, q reporter asked Mr.
Thomas, would you deny there was
any Lewis money in your cam.
paign?"
Mr.. Thomas replied:
Hell, no. I wouldn't deny thai
there's any Lewis money In thu
