Bill Signed 10 LEI Navy
Fit Out New-Type Ships
" fhe Asseeiossd Press

The Navy had q Anal go-aheat
today for its plans to convert nine
big destroyers into special subma-
rine killers and outfit other ships
for special Arctic operations. al
President Truman yesterday signed
enabling legislation passed by Con-
gress.
The program is estimated to cost
SIS. $50, 900 through 1851. The Navy
plans to spend $5,030, 900 in the cur
rent fiscal year.
The plans, as outlined to Con-
gress in May, call for two subma-
rines to be converted into troop
carriers. a third to be made a cargo
carrier and a fourth to become q
special polar picket craft In ad'
dition, two landing ships and an
attack cargo vessel are to be refitted
for Arctic operations.
The nine dsstroyers will have
special equipment designed to cope
with the latest type of speedy, far
ranging submarines. Details of the
equipment have not been disclosed
Another bill signed by the Presi-
dent authorizes the Navy to hire Is
more scientists and the Army 80
more for research work at salaries
of $4,000 to $4,000 a year.

lob of the Moment
Truman Plans to Attend Rio Conference;
Will Leave Hastings to Wallace and COP

Wallace was fuming, the President
light-heartedly cruised with his kit
chen cabinet. His apparent determi-
nation this summer to keep q firm
hand on affairs Is extremely well
come.
1t is recognized here that Ameri-
can foreign policy can do with
considerable education. Secretary
Marshall and State Department
spokesmen are lucid and persuasive
when they talk to small groups Of
the record but the public under
standing falls far short of the i'm.
preston produced on those occa-
sions.
The progress Of the Truman
Doctrine. the implications Of the
Marshall Plan and the waning pres
tige of the United Nations are all
matters that many would like to
have the President discuss again and
again and again. 1t Is argued that
the Russians give them plenty ,oi
advertising, all bad and all designed
to cast the greatest possible doubt
on American intentions.
Tempo Of COP Race.
Strengthening the Presidents de-
termination to avoid the purely
political at this point is the increas-
ing tempo of the Republican race.
Senator Taft and Harold Stassen
are now needing Gov Dewey and
getting results. Gov. Duff of Penn
sylvania has encouraged them all
with demands for q wide-open con-
vention.
The President who has no con-
.yention troubles to worry about has
said that he feels he might be anti
climax to the Republican family
row. He is also wary of labor audi
ences who might want him to assail
the Taft Hartley bill which, becom-
ing law in spite of him, he is now
sworn to uphold.

Gold Bullion Racket

Is Traced 10 Macao
ey the Asseeioted Press

MANILA, Aug. Am interna-
tional black market. dealing in mil
lions of dollars worth of gold bullion
and golden Mexican pesos destined
for inflation- beset China is doing
a thriving business on Macao, Portu-
guese Island colony at the mouth OF
the Canton River, official Filipino
sources said today.
Chinese merchants. desperate for
some readily convertible means of
exchange, are paying stiff premiums
to obtain the precious metal, these
sources said.
While members OF the world
monetary fund have sought to keep
the price of gold stabilized at $35
troy ounce, Macao transactions
run at a minimum of $5l an ounce.
This premifA has created a golden
flow toward Macao. where Chinese
purchasers can obtain possession
without fear of confiscation by the
Chinese government, which has
banned private trading in gold.
Finance Secretary Miguel Cua-
derno said today that the Philip
pine Republic has co-operated with
world monetary fund members by
refusing to permit export of gold to
Macao or any other point where it
is definitely known that blackmarket
prices prevail.
Secretary Cuaderno emphasized
that there is no ban or embargo on
the export of gold from the Philip
pines to. destinations within. the
scope of world, monetary fund regu-
lations. There has been a con-
tinued movement Of gold from The
Philippines to London and Hong
Kong, he said.
Applications for export are care
fully screened by the Philippine de-
partment of finance. Secretary Cua-
derno said that in the past week his
Office had turned down applications
for re-export of more than 5000, 900
pesos ($2,500,00O worth of gold for
Macao.

The youngsters who might have
to face a year of it in the near future
hate to admit it, but they think uni
versal military training not only is
necessary for the country but might
even be beneficial to them.
They are sincere. however. in be-
lieving it Is their duty as citizens to
serve that year.
On the other hand, they are pretty
cynical in their belief that the
American Government Is corrupt
and inefficient in some respects,
from Congress right down to local
governments. and they are pretty
disguised with their elders for not
doing much about it at the polls.
These views came from the elite
of the American high school students
of today-104 of whom arrived yes

second annual Boys Forum on Ma

They were named as delegates to

ton was keen.
They presented an awesome rec
ord of high school accomplishments.
More. than 40 of them are presidents
or vice presidents of their student
bodies. There are captains of de-
batting teams, dramatics clubs, Ma
tional Honor Society members galore
and editors of every kind of high
school publication.

The odds are. therefore, that he
will leave the hustings to the Re-

present himself at the Pan-Ameri-

sure our good neighbors about our

Politicians Nervous.
1t is a decision which will not be
too agreeable to politicos over the
country who are beginning TO be
nervous about Democratic success
in '48. They want the Presidents
personal attention and they won't
be happy until they get it.
But quarters familiar with the
cruel state of the world are greatly
treasured by the Truman attitude.

was becoming clearly more apparent

On the Other Hand
Steel Industry Is Charged With
Offense Worse Than High Prices

fewer workers will have Jobs. And
he said. the same situation will apply
in other industries.
A similar demand for expansion
of steel capacity is made by former
official of the union. Harold ]
Ruttenberg, who is now vice presi-
dent of the Portsmouth Steel Corp
He says the steel industry has always
understimated the country's need
and should now be stepping up its
capacity by at least 5000, 900 tons
Writing for Life Magazine, he said
There are two ways to get this in
creased capacity. One is the way
we got a majority of the wartime
steel expansion-have the Federal
Government do it. The other and
better way is to take free enterprise
off the speakers rostrum and put
it to work"
The way to make free enterprise
more enterprising. he thinks. is to
make it still more profitable. He
would increase the price of steel one
cent a pound, or $40 q ton. Which
is where we came in.

Foremen Challenge
.Constitutiona|ity Of
Labor Act in Suit

The Foreman's Association of
America. with principal Offices in
Detroit, yesterday afternoon brought
suit in District Court seeking to
have the Taft Hartley labor-man-
agement act declared unconstitu-
tional.
The suit declares the legislation
is discriminatory and objects par
ticularly to provisions covering
supervisory employees. 1t asks that
the National Labor Relations Board
which is named defendant, be
stopped from dismissing petitions of
the Foremans Association under
authority of the act.
Even If the act Is Constitutional,
the suit contends members of the
association should be entitled to
privileges and immunities under the
National Labor Relations Act until
the Taft-Hartley bill becomes ef-
fective late this month.
The Foreman's Association is de-
scribed as an independent union-a
voluntary association of persons en-
ployed by others as foremen and
supervisors.
The suit said there has been a
series of controversies between the
association and the NLRB.
Among other contentious in the
suit is one that the NLRB has
directed its regional directors to dis
miss and dispose of petitions under
authority of the Taft-Hartley bill.
The complaint also charges the
act authorizes injunctions to keep
employees from quitting work; it at
tempts to boycott jurisdictional
strikes and prevents political con-
tributions. The suit contends that
section of the bill 'fs fragrant
attempt" to destroy the freedom of
political association and freedom OF
the press.
The petition also declares the bill
is "avowedly" in the interest of the
employer class.
Several other suits already have
been filed elsewhere chailending
the constitutionality of the act
which Congress passed over Presi-
dent Truman's veto.

New Initiation Spiral
Feared After GIN Lead
In Increasing Prices
sy The Associated Press

DETROIT, Aug. 2.-Automobile
circles wondered today whether a
2 to per cent increase in car
prices by General Motors Corp was
the beginning of a new price spiral
in the industry.
There was Uncertainty whether
the Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler
Corp, chief rivals of General Motors,
would follow the price rise an
nounced by GIN yesterday.
Unconfirmed reports circulated
through the. industry, however. that
at least one other manufacturer was
prepared to announce price in
creases shortly.
General Motors raised its price
from $57 to $16s on all five pas
senger car models and on Chevro-
let trucks.
Reuther Sees Depression.
President Walter P. Reuther
whose CIO United Auto Workers

down the inflationary road leading
to depression and mass unemploy-
ment."

models from $66 to S168; Buick from
$50 to s139, and Pontiac from SO
to 500.

increase, but GMC trucks were not
affected, since price increases rang

them earlier in the week.
Non -automotive products, Mr..
Wilson said, would be increased in
price along the same general pattern
las autos and trucks.
No general increase in prices of
automotive service parts was made.
Mr.. Wilson blamed "the imitation
that has occurred" in labor and ma
terial prices for the general increase.
The announcement came three
days after General Motors reported
net income for the first half of the
year of $147,622,834, highest In a
decade except during the war.

as his personal representative to the
Vatican and to Withdraw all State
Department personnel" from there
was passed yesterday by the con-
vention In a session packed full Of
motions pertaining to the economic
and political life OF the Nation.
The motion, passed unanimously
by a rousing vote. also urged citi-
|zens to work "for the repeal of any
law on the statute books of any
State which sanctions grants of
public money to the support OF re-
ligious bodies or to activities sup
ported by such bodies" It further
called for a reversal of the Supreme
Court decision permitting the use
of public tax funds for text books
and transportation to parochial
schools and asked that limiting
clause restricting Federal aid "tc
public schools without discrimir1a-
tion as to race or color" be inserted
in any further legislation by Con-
gress.
Congress was praised for appro-
priating $3.50, ,00O, 900 for overseas re.
lief purposes. This resolution also
commended Secretary of State Mar.

be urged to pass the Stratton bill
or a similar measure, permitting
100, 900 displaced persons each year

mously by the convention.
Deploring the growing tendency
to emphasize the tensions between
the United States and Russia as
provocative of a possible armed con-
fiict, the convention afhrmed its sup
port of the United Nations. The
motion, however, condemned the
frequent use of the veto to defeat
the democratic processes Of the Sc
curity Council, ~, .r7,1

forces in the country to prevent
them from being blown up by the
enemy. A rigid application of the
rules under which the loan" was
granted is all right under conditions
even vaguely resembling normalcy.
But under actual war conditions,
which may grow worse with the
weakening of the armed forces, first
things must come first. And in this
particular case the first thing is the
army and air force.
Greece unquestionably lacks the
power to make use of the applica-
ton of Article 81. Any attempt to
pursue the enemy across the borders
will only bring forth immediate re-
taliation on the part Of Russia's
satellites.
OF course, Article 51-the most
drastic in the United Nations
Charter-could be further enforced
by armed forces of other peace
loving nations joining up with those
of a country acting in self-defense.
This would mean that the United
States and Great Britain would have
to lend their military support to
Greece for the purpose of main
tanning international peace and Sc
curity."
Wait-and-See Policy.
Whether Washington and London
are prepared to act is a moot ques-
ton. We all know that the appear
ance of an American force, no mat
ter how small. would be considered
by the U. S. S. r. as an act of war,
of the U. NJ Charter.
Peace could be kept by single
word from Moscow. But the Russian
rulers have done everything in their
power-particularly through use of
the veto-to muddle the interna-
tional situation. Hence, it can be
taken for granted that any effec-
tive military support for Greece will
be answered with violence by the
U. S. S. r.
This knowledge in all likelihood
has prompted the British govern
ment to announce that it will with
draw forthwith the remainder OF her
troops in Italy and Greece. There
are still $500 British soldiers in the
latter country.
The American governments plans,
for the time being, are undecided.
We are following a wait-and-see
policy. The Greek demand that
Article 81 be put into effect was
the result of long consultations with
the State Department. 1t must be
regarded, therefore. as having the
full Endorsement of the State De-
partment. which is aware of its
consequences, particularly if the
Russian puppet armies in the Bal
kans take advantage of any action OF
the Greek forces on their territory
and retaliate with a full-scale in
vasion of Greece.
