Delegates were unanimous in all
major questions, according to
International President Maurice
Travis.
The union, one Of the oldest
in the CLIO, has been subject to
violent attacks by splitting tao
tics on the part of a minority
dedicated to the proposition of
wiping out progressive leaders.
The factionalism was resolved
only after the rank and file mem
bership voted under the old NLRB
on the union of their choice and
overwhelmingly supported the 54-
year-old union and its officers.
TRAVIS proposed special cleo
ton of officers to weld unity. His
proposal was adopted and then he
declined to run for reelection and
nominated Jack Clark for new
president. Clark, union veteran
of 80 years, is now secretary
treasurer.
The convention earlier had re-
jected the report of a national
CLIO Subcommittee which sought
appointment of an administrator
for the International union.
Clark will be opposed by
George Knott, an organizer from
Miami, Arizona. Referendum cleo
tons are scheduled for October 6.
Unanimously, the delegates
voted to work for eventual estab-
lishment of truly peoples in

On Rent Raise Opens;
Dismissal Refused

A hearing on petition of the
Westchester Apartments for 17k
per cent increase in rents opened
today and Rent Control Examiner
Ernest Williams denied a motion
by attorneys for the tenants to
dismiss the case.
The management of the 558-
apartment development in north
west Washington requested the in
creases, citing greater maintenance
and operating costs, higher taxes
and $250,000 improvement pro-
gram.
Arguing for dismissal before any
testimony had been presented, At
torney Ellis B. Miller asserted that
new owners of the apartments were
seeking rent increases on the basis
of expenses of the previous owner
The attorney for the tenants
pointing out that the petition for
rent increases had been filed two
months after the Real Estate Corp
had acquired the property, termed
it speculation, contrary to the Dis
trict Rent Control Act.
He also objected to rent increases
predicted on tax assessments not
yet effective. The tenants counsel
contended also that capital improve

yet been made and therefore can
not be the basis for rent increases.

Worlds S Major Problems
Cited by ForrestaI
By the Associated Press

WELLESLEY, Mass, June 10
Secretary of the Navy Forrestal
said today the world was faced with
three problems, the first of which
was the writing OF just peace for
Germany and Japan and the third
a world disarmament.
The Secretary, in addressing
graduation exercises at Wellesley
College, asserted that between the
writing of just peace treaties and
disarmament came the task of "de-
veloping and Strengthening of the
United Nations"
"Once the treaties of peace are
written" he said, "the energies OF
the United States must be directed
to the restoration of broken econo-
mics and shattered confidence
throughout the world. And if the
world is to have such confidence
this Nation must retain its vitality
its optimism and its capacity fo1
action.
Fundamental to these in reten-
tion by the United States of military
power, but immediate and potential
to make it clear that no aggressor
can afford again to loose the curse
of war"

The central Importance of the
labor question to our economy and
our form of government hardly
needs elaboration. 1t is certain we
should strive for the most effective
and efficient government arrange
ment to handle the complex aspects
of the labor problem.
Acknowledging that this has not
neen achieved to date. the Secretary
said the Government labor -unc-
tions are marked by a lack of CO.
ordination and Capitalization OF au-
thority. He continued:
1T is easy to understand why this
Is so. Labor is field in which
almost every Government Office
claims an interest; nor does there
appear to be sufficient recognition
that the complicated questions
which arise out of the labor issues
must be handled by experts"

particularly that phase of the re-
organization plan which would make

Service a permanent part of the
