MANCHESTER. England, April
12.-Henry A. Wallace charged
today that the United States
had embarked on a program OF
ruthless imperialism" and de-
clared the. program must fail
because Americans will never
pay the cost and they cannot
pay the cost"
In an attack on President Tru-
mans proposals for aid to Turkey
and Greece, delivered at public
meeting in this Mjdlands industrial
center, Mr.. Wallace said Americas
present program "if unchecked"
would stretch the American em-
pire" from China to the Near East
and from Pole to Pole.
"This position of ruthless imperil-
ism is the position which all groups
blinded by hatred of Russia must
ultimately defend" the former Vice
President and cabinet member de-
clared, adding: "It may cost little
to divide the world, but to keep the
world divided is beyond the re-
sources of any nation

Not since the days Of ample trans

They have been arriving all week

at least half a million were expected
to see the famous blossom display

With warm. sunny weather in

cio Leuders Arrive
TO Organize Fight
Against Curbs
BY the A.soeiaied Press

The House Labor Committee
formally approved today, 1S to 4,
bill to clamp sharp restrictions
on strikes and labor unions.
1t took the committee only 8
minutes for the final vote. 1t had
approved the measure informally in
all details yesterday.
Chairman Hartley told reporters
there viii be no substantial
changes" on the House floor when
the bill comes up for debate Tuesday.
CIO Leaders to Map Fight.
The action came as CIO leaders
arrived in the Capital to organize
for fight against legislation shap-
ing up in Congress to impose long
list of curbs on labor unions.
Both House and Senate Commit
tees have included fiat ban on the
closed shop in their proposed labor
legislation. The Senate bill has not
yet been completed.
Mr.. Hartley said the House mea-
sure is so worded as to forbid any
industYy-wide strike against en-
ployers who compete with one an
other. This means, he explained,
that If John L. Lewis, for example,
decides his United Mine Workers
have no contract next july l, there
can be no strike without running the
risk of penalties.
For Mr.. Lewis to enforce his tradi-
tional policy of no contract, no
work." Mr. Hartley said, would be a
collusive strike.

In case of such a strike, Mr.. Hart
ley said, a union might suffer a

Throng on Hand for Opening
OF Cherry Blossom Festival
100000 Expected to Attend Pageant TODD,
And Tomorrow, With Skies Foir, Buds at Best

United States park police were
prepared to accommodate larger
crowds today and tomorrow than
the record of $4,000 who visited the
displays before the war interrupted
the festival.
Only a relatively few parking
spaces will be available in the i'm
mediate Tidal Basin area and police
advise spectators to park cars or
buses somewhere north of Consti-
tuition or east of Fourteenth street
and walk the rest of the way.
The forecast is for mostly sunny
this afternoon with high of about
10. Tomorrow should be mostly
clear and cooler with the tempera-
lures In the COS. The April shower
which swept Washington last night
only freshened the outdoor scene for
the festivities.
Park police based their estimates
Of record crowds on preliminary re-
ports on early arrivals and the fact

week end in Washington was gen.
orally fair for several days In ad-
vance.

.UPWA Asks Truman
To Rescind His Order
For Loyalty Probe
CIO Athlete Head Sees
Threat to Busic Civil
Rights Of Americans
By Joseph Young

The CIO United Public Work.
erS of America has asked Presi-
dent Truman to rescind his
loyalty investigation executive
order, it was learned today.
Expressing the unions outright
opposition to the order establishing
loyalty Investigations Of all Federal
employees and all Government job
applicants, Abram FIaxer, UPWA
president, wrote to Mr.. Truman this
week asking that the order be
scrapped.
Previously the union had taken
no announced stand on the order,
although there had been reports 1t
was critical of various provisions Of
the directive. Mr.. Flaxer's letter,
however, asked that the entire order
be revoked.
Mr.. Flaxer said the executive or
der contains a greater threat to the
basic civil rights of the American
people than anything since the Alien
and Sedjtfon Acts Of 1798."
Deny Red Affiliations.
UPWA frequently has been under
fire for alleged left-wing and Com
munist leanings, and some observ-
ers feel the executive order will hit
the union hard. Union leaders deny
Communist affiliations, denouncing
their critics as ''red-baiters."
In his letter to President Truman,
Mr.. Flaxer said the union was in
complete agreement with the pur-
pose of the order that the security
of the Government be maintained.
We join completely with you in the
belief that spies. saboteufs, traitors,
advocates OF revolution against the
constitutional form of our Govern
ment, agents of foreign govern
ments, or persons who disclose con-
fidential Government information
should be removed at once from the
Government service"
Mr.. Flaxer said, however, sufficient

rights and under the antitrust laws
damage suits could be brought
against the union.
All Is committee Republicans and
three Southern Democrats were re-
corded as voting for the new bill.
-Four Democrats were against and
three Democrats did no ballot.
Republicans for the bill were:
Hartley, Lands, of Indiana; Hof1-
man, of Michigan; McCowen, OF
Ohio; Sehwabe, of Missouri; Nc
Connell, of Pennsylvania; Gwinn,
of New York; Buck, of New York;
Brehm, of Ohio; Smith, of Kansas;

Democrats for: Barden, of North
Carolina; Fisher, of Texas, and
Wood, of Georgia.
Democrats against: Lesinski, OF
Michigan; Kelley, of pennsylvania;
Madden, of Indiana, and Kennedy,
of Massachusetts,.
Doubts "Watering" of Bill.
Mr.. Hartley said some changes are
possible on the House floor. But he
predicted that the bill will not be
watered down."
"You will find plenty in the rank
and file of unions for the BILL" MIR.
Hartley said, adding that it was not
written to please labor leaders.
The chairman said he now plans
to ask one full day for debating the
Measure Tuesday, open the bill to
amendments Wednesday, and seek
vote on passage next Friday.
He said there is possibility that
a member may offer an amendment
to forbid union organizations in any
plants producing atomic energy. He
said at least one committee member
favors this, because a strike in such

Italian Police Seize
Aboard Ship
In Genoa Harbor
Former Vice Czur to Be
Sent to Sicily for Probe
Of Trip to Cubu
By the Assoeioked Press

GENOA, Italy, April 12.-Gen-
oese police went aboard the
Turkish steamer Bakir in Genoa
harbor today and took custody
of Charles lucky Luciano,
one-time New York vice czar, re-
deported to Italy from Cuba.
Ten policemen boarded the vessel
and brought Luciano ashore in a
motor launch.
Police Chief Califn Filippo said
Luciano was taken into custody In
the harbor, rather than waiting
until the Bakir docked, because nc
publicity was desired.
Persons aboard the Bakir said
Luciano apparently had not expect
ed to be jailed on his arrival.
The vessels purser said Luciano
was the sole first-class passenger, l3
others crossing tourist class.
He said Luciano, who paid his own
passage of $500, had complete free
dom aboard the ship.
DR.. Adolfo Colombo. Genoa s
assistant chief of police, said earlier
that Luciano would be confined here
until arrangements could be made
to transfer him to Palermo. Sicily,
for investigation of his return to
the Western Hemisphere last year.
Luciano, a native of Sicily, was
sentenced in New York in 1886 to
serve 80 to so years In Sing Sing on
charges of compulsory prostitution
After serving nine and half years
he was paroled and deported.
After spending seven months in
Italy he bobbed up Unexpectedly, last
October. in Havana On February 81
the United States Bureau of Mar
cotics notified the Cuban govern
ment that it would ship no more
narcotics to Cuba because Luciano's
presence there might lead to diver
sion Of the drugs"
Cuban secret police arrested
Luciano next day and Interior
Minister Alfredo Pequeno instituted
deportation proceedings. President
Ramon Grau San Martin signed the
deportation order on February ~
and on March 20, after series OF
legal proceedings which found the
interior minister refusing five times
to produce Luciano for q hearing as
directed by the courts, Luciano was
deported aboard the Bakir.
