A special committee Of high CIO
officers has recommended a double
barrelied. breakdown on Communist
heads Of the CIO Union of Mine,
Mil and Smelter Workers.
In a report to CIO President
Philip Murray, the committee
advised:
/. Removal of Maurice Travis,
recently elevated head Of the smelt-
er union, on grounds of Communist
afnhations.
2. That Mr.. Murray name an ad-
ministrator to take over the affairs
Of the union until its leadership
has been purged Of Communist In
huences.
The committee also condemned
the action Of John Green president
of the CIO Marine and Shipbuild-
ing Workers, in issuing a charter
to 80 locals which seeded in protest
against its Communist leadership.
The committee declared both the
ScCCbSlOu duO NIL. 11CCA dSt1oal
contrary to the CIO constitution
and ordered the bolting locals to re-
turn to their parent organization.
Divided Since Last Year.
The special committee, appointed
by Mr.. Murray several months ago
consists of Jacob S. Potofsky, presi-
dent of the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers; Van A. Bittner, vice presi-
dent Of the United Steel Workers
and L. S. Buckmaster, president OF
the United Rubber Workers.
The Mine. Mill and Smelter
Workers Union has been bitterly
torn over the Communist issue since
last year. Early this spring, Presi-
dent Reid Robinson resigned, along
with several other officers accused
of Communist affiliation. Mr.. Reid
was succeeded by Mr.. Travis, and
the controversy was placed in the
hands of the CIO Executive Board.
It appointed the special committee
to investigate and make recon-
mendations.
In its report, the committee
charges Mr.. Travis with "contin-

A telegram from New York City
Councilman Benjamin j. Davis pro-
testing the statements was read be-
fore the institute last night by Dr..

can democratic procedure and in
the interest of truth, the institute
should have spokesman of the Com
munist Party to reply on the spot.

1885 and have spread to many areas
of the State.
These cooperative developments
are thought of by their members as
learning processes, not businesses"

Bricks IN. c. Rural Life School,

Tuesday.
So checkered and crowded had
been the slain woman's past that
police had to do much wedding of
fact and speculation. She went
under the name of Mrs. Mannering
but there was no evidence she ever
married any one by that name.
Posed as Bessie Love.
Her maiden name was Elizabeth
Callahan. She married Lawrence
Plateau in Hollywood in 1924 and
divorced him in 1943, police said.
She also had done bit parts in the
movies many years ago under the
name Betty or Bess K. True-and
sometimes, police added, she posed
to acquaintances as Bessie Love, the
star of the silent screen.
Investigators found $500 in her
safety deposit box plus $4,000 in War
Bonds. But there was no indication
she had been employed since doing
radio bit parts last year.
A maid discovered the body on
Wednesday. 1t was sprawled be-
tween twin beds. The face was
beaten and there were teeth marks
on the right arm-another clue as
yet unproductive.

Police Resift Weller
OF Clues in Staying
OF New York Actress
BY The Associoted Press

NEW YORK, July ia pleth-
ora Of clues-but all apparently
leading to blind alleys-went
through q re-sifting process by
homicide investigators today as they
awaited the arrival of q relative
who they hoped might shed new
light on the puzzling strangulation
Of Mrs. Sheila Mannering.
Lee Wsldron of Denver, uncle of
the slain former actress, was due
here over the week end. Police
hoped he might have some knowl-
edge OF his niece's activities which
would fit into the Investigations
jigsaw pattern.
Admittedly this was but a tenu-
Gus possibility. When the nude
body Of the 49-year old woman was
found Wednesday in her midtown
apartment, detectives spent a busy

Six address books found in the
apartment contained 400 or more
names. Police questioned them all

was discovered. Casts were made
Of the impressions.
Many Fingerprints Found.
Tests were made Of the blood
stained bed sheet found knotted
about the womans neck and of
the towel stuffed in her mouth.
Many fingerprints were painstak-
tngly busted for examination.
But the net result did not add up
TO solution though speculation was
aroused when the police spent many
hours questioning two men in par

men, who were among Mrs. Manner

It's still about as hard to get new car as it is to win a political argument. For most people, any way.
 Not for everybody, though One special group of auto buyers is made up of disabled veterans en- titled to free cars under the cars for -amputees law of Aug. l946.
 The Veterans Administration tells me that more than 15,000 ex- servicers have acquired new cars free. All these veterans lest, or lost the use of, one or both legs at or above the ankle. That's the eligibility requirement. Some were struck in the leg by shrapnel. some stepped on land mines, and some are paraplegics.
 Besides the 15,000 now driving their new cars, an additional 3,000 have heen certified by the VA as eligible for new cars under the Act
 All they have to do is to go to their local auto dealer, present their certificate of eligibility and make arrangements for a car. 1 In most cases (maybe in every easel they do not have to sweat out long waiting period. Most dealers take care of their requests for new cars right away. That's i the way it should be.
 Congress made s35,C00,00O avail able for the cars-for- -amputees pro- gram. Only $29,o00000 has been spoken for. Yet the VA says that all veterans now eligible for free cars have either applied for or re- ceived their cars. What then is going to happen to the s6000,000 balance still in the special fund?
 Probably most of it, if not all of it. will be used up before the time limit runs out next June 30. The disabled who will use it are still in the Army and Navy Hos pitals or at least in the service. They haven't been discharged so they can't apply for their cars.
 That's because the law specifi- cally says that only veterans are eligible. No matter what you may be told, man isn't a veteran

until he's discharged. The S6,- O0o,0C0 still in the kitty will pur- chase cars for 3,75O more ampu- tess, provided the maximum price tag of Sl6o0 is attached to each vehicle.
 The law says that no more may te charged, even if the veteran is willing to pay the difference himself. The Sl,6oO must take care of all the necessary extras, too. Many of the cars are equip ped with special devices which en- able them to be handled by an am- putee
 One of the eligibility require ments is that the amputee must ue able to drive the car So before he can get one an amputee must own drivers license if state law requires it.
 l know a couple of paraplegics who can't wait to get their new cars. I met them when I went to visit the VAS Halloran Hospital on Staten Island. Y. r.
 Paraplegics are guys wncse spinal cords have been injured. Usually they are paralyzed from the waist or whereabouts all the way down Naturally, having lost the use of their legs, they are entitled to a free car.
 ! Che of the paraplegics I talk ed to had ordered his car and set to leave the hospital as soon as it arrived. That car was impor- tant to him. Getting out of the hospital depended upon getting hi; car.
 Another paraplegic I met wa' still in the Army. He'd been al Halloran when the VA took il over from the Army and just stay ed on. He, too, was eager to gel his new car. But until he actual. ly is discharged and becomes veteran he can't apply.
