Mural Painter BaIks
At De|eting Roosevelt
By the Assoeiofed Press

The Public Buildings Adminlstra-
ton has asked Anton Refregier
artist, not to include portrait OF
Franklin D. Roosevelt in a mura,
he is to paint for post office build
ing in San Francisco. but the artist
apparently plans to put up a fight
A PBA official explained to re-
porter yesterday the mural is sup.
posed to depict scenes from early
California history and it is felt thai
the picture of the late President
would not fit in with that theme.
Mr.. Refregier's plans for the
mural in the Rincon Post Once An.
mex had called for inclusion of the
Roosevelt portrait.
In San Francisco Mr.. Refregiel
declared the deletion of the 7-foot
bust portrait us concession I can
not make"
To a suggestion that the picture
may have been Objectionable be-
cause he drew tired and sick
Roosevelt, Mr.. Refregier retorted:
He is the Roosevelt who has just
returned from Yalta-a completely
beautiful face rejecting a full life.
The artist said the PBA asked the
deletion because I'VE do not advo-
cate the portrayal of prominent per-
sons in any mural of this character.

So far the partisan armies under
Luigi Longo in Italy and those in
France under the former naval Of
fcer, Francois Marty, have not been
brought into action. The reports

cation as to the immediate plans of
the militant arm of the Communist

Guerrilla Attacks Grow.
While these matters are closely
observed in Washington, there is a
growing and serious concern about
developments in Greece, where
things are going from bad to worse
and the government of the aged
Premier Themistokles Sophoulis ap-
pears incapable of checking growing
attacks Of the guerrillas.
The Greek Army, which is now

ranking officials in Washington ad-
NIT that this country may find it
self in dilemma before long.
When President Truman an
nounced last March that the United
States would support the Greek
government in defending its
sovereignty and territorial integrity
against the offensive of Communist
forces organized and armed in
Yugoslavia, Albania and Bulgaria
it was believed that a loan of $780,
100000 plus Americas prestige
would be sufficient to enable the
legally constituted government tt
deal with the guerrillas.
At that time, according to the
Greek governments own estimates

posals to increase the Accent hourly

Of living, he argued, the rate Should

ing it are forced to compete with
10 per cent of industry that has

Lower Wage in South.
The greater part of the lower
wage industries are in the South
This remains true despite definite
improvement in the situation from
the workers standpoint in recent
years. An important element ir
the South continues to resist al
efforts to bring that section abreast
of the national standard of wages
and working conditions.
The same committee that heard
Mr.. Lubin and other advocates Of
higher minimum wage also heard
Tyre Taylor, general counsel of the
Southern States Industrial Council
urge the repeal of the whole wage
hour law. He expressed particular
objection to the 40-hour week, pro-
posing that it be raised to As hours
as means of achieving greater
production. What this would mean
is that higher rates for overtime
work would not go into effect until
As hours, instead of 40 hours had
been worked.
Mr.. Bowles in his New York
speech talked of poll taxes, Jim
Grow laws and racial discrimination
but it is possible that Mr.. Lubin
in arguing for higher wages, touched
an even more sensitive point OF
friction between the two sections OF
the party.

Monroe, Red House Host,
Loses Conviction Appeal
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-The United
States Circuit Court of Appeals
yesterday unanimously upheld the
conviction of John Porter Monroe,
Washington lobbyist, by a Federal
Court jury March 20. 1916, on charges
Of selling textiles at over ceiling
prices and of conspiracy.
Monroe, whose entertainment of
Washington notables at the Red
House on r street" in the Capital
was Investigated by Congressional
Committee in 1943, has been SEN
fenced to two years imprisonment
and fine of 100000.
Since then he has been free in
$4,000 bail pending the appeal.
Monroe was convicted on all %
counts of the indictment. The
Government contended that he and
other defendants had made $4,000
in illegal profits from March to
May 81, 1915.

This Changing World
Complete Collapse of Greek Government
Feared Likely by American Observers

of economic conditions together with
better equipment for the govern
Inent forces would stave off any
attempt from the north to place
Greece behind the iron curtain.
The fears expressed by some mill
tary men in Washington, that dol
lars alone could not defeat armed
forces strongly backed by Russia's
satellites in the north, were taken
with a grain of salt and discounted
as military overcautiousness."
Today, in spite OF the effort to
reorganize the Greek economy on
even a small scale and to provide
the army with war material, there
is danger that the government
forces may not be able to hold their
own against determined partisan
attacks. This danger cannot be
overlooked, for all confidential re-
ports from Athens point to it.
Two Courses Open to U. S.
If the partisans should get the
upper hand the position of the
American Government would be-
come difficult. Only two courses
are open to us: % Admit failure
and forget about the $3O0,000,0 900
loan and let nature take its course;
or 90 support the Greek govern
ment with armed forces sent from
the United States to bolster the
declining power of the royal army,
If the first course is adopted, the
prestige of the United States
throughout the world would reach a
new low. OF course, some face-saving
would be possible. for instance in an
action before UN. But past expert
ence has shown that the peace or
ganization cannot function effec-
lively when Russia and its satellites
decide to block it.
To abandon Greece now, after
statements to the contrary from
some of the highest personages in
this country, would be considered a
political debacle of the first magni-
tude and might seriously affect the
situation in the rest Of Europe.
To send American armed forces
to Greece, even under Article 81 of
the UN charter, is considered by
our policy-framers as highly ex-
plosive alternative. 1t is doubtful
that the country as a whole would
look favorably on the shipment of
some 10000 American soldiers to
fight in Greece. But even II the
American people could be convinced
of the necessity of such step, the
possibility of early Russian retalia-
lions looms as serious danger. That
would set the match to the powder
keg.
Washington still hopes that some
how or other the Greeks will pull
themselves together and start fight
ing seriously for their independence.
Their failure to do so would have
more serious repercusslcns than
could come from any other situation
in Europe today.
