Speculation Renewed
That China Will GET
Dairen From Russia
BY the Asseeioted Press

PEIPING, Feb. 22.-New specula.
ton that China soon might assume
administration of Dairen from the
Russians was touched off today BY
disclosure that Foreign Minister
Wang Shih-chieh would fly to Muk.
den tomorrow on a secret mission.
The usually reliable newspaper
Hsin Min Pal said the Russians al
ready were shipping their supplies
from Darien to Port Arthur, nearby
Soviet naval base, and would be
completely out of Dairen by March
II. It said-the Russians had shipped
so locomotives from Dairen tc
Vladivostok.
A fortnight ago, the paper SAID
Chinese government forces hao
moved to within four miles Of
Dairen by local agreement with the
Russians, but, like the latest report
that was not confirmed.
KOO Mentioned as Successor.
Under the Chinese Russian treaty
of 1945, Dairen, major commercial
port of Manchuria, is declared g
free port under Chinese jurisdiction
but the Russians have occupied II
since the Japanese surrender.
Wang, who flew to Peiping yester-
day, said he could not discuss the
nature of his mission at this time
but the press generally guessed that
he would talk to Russian represent
atives in Mukden.
Rumors from Shanghai said Wang
might resign as foreign minister as
soon as Dairens status is settled
and that DR.. K. v. wellington Koo
ambassador to Washington, might
succeed him. Other rumors in
Peiping said Wang might make
trip to Moscow.
There was dearth of news on the
Chinese civil war, but it was an
nounced that the small American
military liaison group in Yenan
Communist capital, would Withdraw
March S. That date is the deadline
the United States has set for provld-
ing transportation for Communist
and government members Of the dis
banded truce organization to places
of safety.
Internal Enemies Cited.
In Shanghai United States Ambas-
sador j. Leighton Stuart said at a
Washington birthday dinner "The
real enemies of China are now in
ternal. (They) Are illiteracy, poverty
disease, the exploitation of public
office for private gain, including that
of relatives and friends, narrow and
ruthless partisan bigotry"
Also in Shanghai, officials and
commercial interests alike were
keeping their fingers crossed to see
if the sweeping emergency economic
regulations announced the first OF
the week would stabilize Chinat
runaway imitation and crippled ex-
port trade.
It developed that the Central
Bank of China was paying 11,64O
Chinese dollars per United States 81
instead of the 10000 to l fixed by
decree. The difference was explained
as a 3 per cent deduction for trans
portation charges. Most stores re-
fused to accept American money
and the black markets underground
quotations were little higher than
the governments.

Legislative
 HighIighfs. Mildred R. Hermonn

The eighteenth session of the Alaska Legislature has come to an end. Most of the legislators perhaps expect to be back next year for another extraordinary session. The chief flaw in their thinking, however, lies in the fact that the right to call spe cial session resides in the Cover nor of the Territory, and he may decide that legislature that would make appropriations al- most four million dollars in ex- cess of the highest estimated in- come, is too irresponsible to be called into an extraordinary session, which would enable them to whitewash their own record of futllIty.
 Speaking before the House by request jusc before the vote was taken on the General Appropria- tion bill, Senator Joe Green, Chairman of the Senate Finance
  Committee, assured the doubt. ing House members that there was ample revenue to meet all expenditures authorized; in the Senate, a few minutes previous ly by Senator Ed Coffey, mem- Der of the Finance Committee, had made the same statement.
 Those were the statements of the two Senators-these are the facts
 The General and special emer- gency appropriations bills passed by the leg stature at this session amount to $S, 5,743.58
 The total estimated income for the biennium is $4,49l ,9O0.
 It requires only a simple exam pie in Arithmetic to show that the Territory faces an operat- ing deficit for the bIennium of $3, ,943, ,843 5S But our Arthme- tic lesson IS not yet complete. Let's look now at the revenue measures that were killed:
 1. The net lncome tax bill, which would have produced rev enue of approximately $2,300,000 for the biennium;
 2 The general property tax bill which would have produced rev, nue of sl 200, O,o00 for the bi- ennium;
 5. The uniform license tax bill which would have produced rev. enue of about $6oO,oO0 for the biennium.
 4. This basic tax program would therefore have produced revenue totalllng about $4 100000 It would have spread the tax burden uniformly and equitably over all categories of

Toledo JAW To
Vote On FEW.

Toledo UAW-CIO Local un-
ions, IL, IL, IA and 48 will vote
soon on the referendum initiated
by the International executive
board on admitting the Farm
Equipment Workers (CIO) into
the UAW with a full voice and
vote in the November Atlantic
City convention.
Members of the minority right
wing group contend that admit
ting the FEW-CIO under the
proposal advanced by the left
wing board majority would be
to create a union within union
and would be a breach of the
constitution. They are asking
Iocal unions to reject the ma
sJority proposal and let the next
convention decide the issue.
Richard Gosser, Region 2-B
director, is a member of the mi
nority right wing group and
signed the report together with
President Walter P. Reuther and
other members of the minority.
Many Units of Local IL are
planning calling special meet
ings to vote on the issue. 1t is
believed that Local IL will al
most unanimously reject accept
ing the FEW and go along with
Director Gosser.

COP Speeds Move
For Csc Minimum

WASHINGTON, j u ly 2 -
(LPA) - In a fast move, clear
ly intended to abSolve them of
their anti-labor sins, Republican
leaders in both House and Sen
ate last week opened the way
for an increase in the legal min
imum wage in interstate indus
tries covered by the Fair Labor
Standards Act.
Hearings before a House La
Dor Subcommittee started last
week on a proposal by Rep.
Gearld w. Lands (R., Ind) to
increase the minimum wage to
IS cents. The half-dozen au-
thors of minimum wage bills
were heard on the opening day,
and further meetings of the COM
mittee this week are expected to
hear from many non-labor sup
porters of the wage-floor meas
ure, as well as from AFL and
CIO.
In the Senate, where a Labor
Subcommittee headed by Sen.
Joseph Ball (R., Minn) had
been sitting several minimum
seen in the replacement of Ball
wage bills, signs of action were
by Sen. William E. Jenner (R.,
Ind.)
On both sides of the capitol,
hearings are expected to be
compressed as far as possible by
of the 65-cent min
imum, to avoid any claims that
time is too short for action be-
fore the Congress adjourns late
in July.
Some whiting down is ex-
pected on the proposal by BIZ
partisan group of liberal Con-
gressmen, headed by Senator
Claude Pepper ID. Fla.) TO raise
the minimum Immediately TO
65 cents, in a year to 70 cents
and in another year to rs cents.

Two outstanding ev e n ts
which have occurred during
the past week make me feel
very proud of the men and
women of our union.
First was the dedication of
our Local IL Children's Sum-
mer Camp at Sand Lake, Mich.
The other was the outstanding
showing made by Toledo on
Sunday at the state rally TO
protest the Van AIKEN bill in
Columbus.
| want to thank everyone
who has aided us in our reall-
cation of the summer camp. |
am particularly grateful to the
Local IL Units, the Glasswork-
ers and every other union who
has been generous to us in
assisting us to bring this long
sought dream into actual eX-
iStence.
Not only do l thank the men
and women of the union, but
want to particularly thank
those not of the union who
have recognized the value OF
the camp and have been gen
erous in their support without
considering anything except
the good it will do for the boys
and girls of Toledo.
The large number of COM
ments which have come TO me,
directly and indirectly, are
good to hear. There is no
doubt about it that everyone
who has visited our camp has
been impressed with its size
and facilities. 1t is my hope
that all who can possibly do
so will stop in and look the
place over at some time dur
ing the months the camp is
operating. 1t will please you
and give you feeling OF
satisfaction to see what is be-
ing done for the children.

Labor Papers
Invite A Test

NEW YORK, July 2 (LPA)
-CIO and AFL papers through
out the country last week ex-
pressed open defiance of the
Taft Hartley laws attempt to
ban political expressions or sup
port of political candidates..
In many instances both AFL
and CIO publications printed the
roll call of Senators who voted
to override President Truman S
veto of the t-Hartley bill and
urged their defeat at the polls
in November 1948. Editorial &C
ton such as this, according to
Sen. James O'Mahoney %.
Wyo.) and other Congressman,
could be construed as viola
ton of the law.
Despite the fact the Justice
Dept. will probably have dozens
of test cases to choose from
shortly, there was doubt among
Labor Department and NLRB
officials whether the Justice
Department will permit itself TO
be drawn into one of these
freedom of the press" prosecu-
tions unless heavy pressure is
brought by some of the more
rabid anti-labor Congressman.
One of the first frankly de-
liberate test cases was offered
by Advance, newspaper of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers
CIO. ACW President Jacob Po-
tofsky expressed conviction that
''the labor press provision will
not stand up before the Supreme
Court"
Advance editorially condemn
ed the Congressman who voted
the veto and urged the unions S

them at the polls.

Murray Rejects
ANG Nomination

SIOUX CITY, July 2-(LPA)
President Milton Murray, of
the American Newspaper Guild
CIO, declined nomination for re-
election as the ANG's 14th Con-
vention drew to a close here last
week.
Murray's withdrawal, climax
ing long and bitter intra-union
feud, left two candidates for the
presidency, Harry Martin, of the
Memphis Commercial Appeal,
and Willard Shelton, Washing
ton correspondent for the Chi
cago Sun and PM. Murray had
previously been defeated by
more than two to one on the is
sues of a paid presidency for
which he had vigorously cam
paigned.
The convention unanimously
approved a resolution saying
1--WE resent and reject the eff
forts of the Communist and
other political parties" to inter-
fere in union affairs.
Another resolution asserted
that with legal recourse all but
obliterated by reactionary
Congress-" the ANG must OBJ
tain complete job security In
new contracts.
Last years goal of $1OO-a-
week minimum for experienced
reporters was reaffirmed and
the Guild will "press for pro-
hibition of so-called economy
discharges or alternatively the
elimination from contracts of
all clauses which sanctify or
legalize any discharge for other
than just and sufficient cause"
ANG membership grew by
1900 in the year ending last
Jan. / to more than $4,000.
Eight new locals were chartered
and wage gains averaging $3.50
each were won for $4,000 mem
bers covered by ANG contracts.

international UAW-CIO pres
ident, pay tribute to Richard
Gosser, who conceived and
carried out the camp plan.
President Reuther was gen.
erous in his praise for Director
GoSSer who conceived the plan
for the camp and was largely
instrumental in having the plan
carried out.
Local IL too was praised with
the UAW leader saying This
isn't the first time Local IL
has pioneered in bringing good
things to the people in a prac-
tical way"
Mr.. Reuther told his listeners,
"You couldn't make a better in
vestment. The children will un-
derstand what the labor move
ment is and what it is trying to
do for people"
What Union Is
Predicting that 80 years from
now you'll look back at this be-
ginning and see what you have
accomplished here" Mr.. Reu-
ther added, "the labor move
ment must dedicate more of it's
time and resources to this sort
of thing. The union is interested
in more than that scent raise it
puts in the pay envelope"
Concluding his talk, the UAW
head told the audience, "If we
show as much courage on the
home front as we did on the war
front during the recent war, we
will achieve our aims. This
camp is real achievement to
aid in bringing that about"
Richard Gosser told the as
semblage that the camp would
contribute to the health of the
bodies and minds of the children
of Toledo. He thanked the vari-
Gus Units of Local IL and other

Boxing Show
Helps Local
Camp Fund

Another gift of $1,000 resulting
from the last Local II boxing
show held May 5 was turned
over to the Children's Summer
Camp fund this week, it was an
nounced on Monday by Howard
Rediger, in charge of the fund
drive.
Mr.. Rediger stated that the
fund, which has now reached a
total of S14.193, is slightly more
than one-third of the way to the
goal of $4,000 which was set
prior TO the beginning of the
drive. He stated, however, that
many pledges which have been
made are expected to be coming
in which will swell the figure.
A number of other checks
were received prior to the drive
directors report and will be
announced within the next
week. Several Units which have
met recently are known to have
appropriated money for the
camp.
In submitting this weeks fund
drive report, Mr.. Rediger stated
that it is estimated by camp
authorities that establishment
and maintaining the camp this
first season will cost in the
neighborhood of 100000. New
fencing. buildings, painting,
maintenance, repairs and other
necessary work to put the camp
in shape have cost thousands of
dollars. These items plus the ex-
.pense of providing the children
in the camp with proper food, in
structors and other necessary ia
cilities will bring the initial
years expense to a substantial
total, according to Mr. Rediger.
Any donation from 81 up will
be gratefully received, said the
drive director. Checks or money
orders should be made payable
to Local IL Children's Summer
Camp and mailed to Howard
Rediger, 425 Winthrop st.
Reported last week, S12,993.
Reported this week, $1,000.
Total to date, S14,193.
