BOSTON, Oct. 14.-The CIC
today announced the greatest
organizing campaign in it's his
tory" and one of it's directors
said the union would forget en-
tirely the Taft-Hartley law as it
affects organizing
Van A. Bittner, director of CIO

told 600 convention delegates that
100000 members have been organ

izers there have been told this is
no time to use the Hartley law
as an alibi for failing to organize the
unorganized.

The convention also adopted a
resolution pledging united support

restraint" and mot" interfere with

The convention is virtually GER
tain to approve the statement be-
fore the week ends.
The declaration contains no blan-
ket Endorsement of American foreign
policy. 1t strongly asserts that "the
CIO is an American institution" with
allegiance to America only. But it
says Americans have right to dis
cuss, commend or criticize" United
States foreign policy.
The resolution seems to steer
somewhere between those who would
like to criticize Americas foreign
policy and those who would like to
criticize Russia's.
Doesn't Name Marshall Plan.
1t doesn't mention by name the
Marshall plan" of helping Euro
pean countries to aid themselves and
one another. Secretary of State
Marshall will address the convention
tomorrow. The statement does urge
prompt action to provide food and
other economic aid to countries
abroad.
At that point appears the follow
ing sentence:
I'VE also urge under no circum-
stance should food or any other aid
given by any country be used as
means of coercing free but needy
people in the exercise of their rights
of independence and self-govern-
ment or to fan the flames of civil
warfare"
A brief furry occurred yester-
day in the long history of at

joint political action.

Bakers Asked 10 Save

Industry Agrees to Halt
Consignment Selling Of
Breed to Aid Drive
By the Associated Press

Chairman Charles Luckman
of the Citizens Food Committee
planned to pledge the Nations
bakery industry today to wheat
savings of 3,500,0OO bushels a
month for hungry Europe.
Meanwhile, he called the Is COM
mittee members together to report
the closing of two other deals which
he considers of major Importance
in the drive to conserve 100000, ,00C
bushels OF grain this winter. They
were:
l. A 60-day shutdown by whisky
distillers starting at midnight Oc-
tober 25, agreed to by virtually the
entire industry.
2. A pledge of complete support

tional Advisory Committee. includ-
ing cooperation in, the spottily OBJ
served meatless Tuesday and eggless
and poultryless Thursdays. The in
dustry added a l7-point savings plan
of its own.
Grain Prices Climb.
Despite the projected distillery
shutdown, grain prices continued up

Trade today. However, the heaviest
single-day hog receipts in three
months at the Chicago stockyards
drove prices down so cents hun
dred pounds in early trading Re-
ceipts totaled $4,000 head.
December wheat hit a new sea-
sonal high of $685. a bushel be-
fore slipping back to s29412 near

Baking company representatives
were seeking final terms with Mr..
Luckman on their curtailment plan.
Consignment Seling to End.
Mr.. Luckman told reporters the
baking industry is definitely COM
mitted" to halt the practice of con-
signment selling-that is, sending
stores more bread than they nor
mally dispose of and then picking up
the stale leftover loaves next day.
Many persons have suggested that
bakeries offer a half-size loaf at
a correspondingly lower price, a
committee official disclosed. 1t has
been urged that such loaf, short
ened but not reduced in size of
slice, would be welcomed by single
persons or couples who find that
the ordinary loaf dries out or moulds
before it is used up.
Problems confront such a pro-
posal, Mr.. Luckman told reporters
who raised the question. One is the
"retooling" job of having new-type
baking pans produced and put in
use over the country-a task which
might take more time than the
urgent foreign shortage allows.

Police today announced the
arrest of two men for question
ing in the murder of Mrs. Adele
G. Johnston, 62-year-old room
ing house operator, who was
shot to death September 18.
No details were available imme-
diately, but it was said at head

Detective Sergts. Paul H. Clarke and
Howard Ogle.

The revolver she had taken to the
door with her was found to have
been discharged. but police said at
the time they did not believe it had
taken effect on her assailant.
Roomers Saw Man Fleeing.
,Roomers and neighbors told police
they saw a tall colored man fleeing
on foot shortly after they heard the
shots.
The suspects also were to be
questioned in connection with a
number of recent robberies, police
said.
As their arrests were announced,
detectives were engaged in ques-
tioning two other colored men, 10
and 81, with respect to recent brutal
holdups of taxicab drivers. :
Holdups Believed Solved.
Detectives said they believed they
had solved at least six such holdups
in which particularly brutal methods
were used.
No further identification for any
of the four men was given. Detec-
tive Chief Floyd T. Truscott said,
however, the pair first arrested had
not been apprehended in the COM
mission of crime.
In addition to the holdups of cab
men, the two were to be asked about
a junk shop robbery last Friday and
a safe robbery, detective said.
Soon after the holdup suspects
were brought to headquarters, rob-
berry victims, including several cab
drivers who still bore the marks OF
beatings received at the hands Of
hoidup men, began arriving at the
request of police to look at them.
Victims Were Beaten.
The hoodlums made a practice OF
giving gratuitous beatings to victims
who did not resist. detectives re-
called.
Inspector Truscott said the two
men held in the holdup were ar
rested by Robbery Squad detectives.
The safe robbery to which they
were said to be linked was not ident-
flied. The junk shop holdup was
that in which 1863 was taken from

LAKE SUCCESS, Oct. IA
Russia today renewed the bitter
attack on what she calls Amer
lean "warmongers" during
United Nations debate on Sec
retary of State Marshall's pro-
gram to overhaul the u. N.
| peace-keeping machinery.
Soviet Chief Delegate Andrei Y
Vishinsky lashed out at American
Delegate John Foster Dulles in a
sharp personal attack Immediately
after Mr. Dulles had concluded a
speech advocating the American
proposal
The clash occurred before the
General Assemblys 57-nation Po-
litical Committee as it began debate
on the American plan for a year.

tions to deal with peace problems.
"War Psychosis" Seen.
Mr.. Vishinsky said Mr.. Dulles. in
advocating the so-called Little As
sembly" plan, forgot or did not dare
say that war propaganda and war
psychosis runs rampant"
Mr.. Vishinsky added that "Mr.
Dulles knows all about this"
He declared that not only "cranks"
but influential people are playing
with fire" and that Mr.. Dulles
should have recalled this.
Mr.. Vishinsky asserted that the
U. N. proposal not only would fail
to serve the cause of the United
Nations but was likely to lead to an
opposite result. He said the plan
was not calculated to strengthen the
United NATIONS but to weaken it.
The American plan. he said, will
aid the warmongers, by touching
of more lies and propaganda" and
by encouraging "warmongers and
war propagandists"
Mr.. Vishinsky declared that Mr..
Dulles had forgotten" to say all this.

over ma jorities in the IL nation Sc
curity. Council. Mr.. Dulles appealed
for steps ITO regain public confidence
and prestige needed for successful
survival" of the United Nations.
THIS American delegate advanced
the opening argument in the Polit-
ical Committee.
He said there was widespread
disillusionment" over the progress
of the U. N. and that Gen. Marshall's
proposal for a. year-round Little
Assembly" was designed to provide
a solution.
Olive Branch to Russians.
Mr.. Dulles only reference to
earlier, Russian charges that the
United States was attempting to by
pass the Security Council and get
around the veto was declaration
that "our proposal, of course, con-
templates that the Interim Com
mittee shall respect fully the pri-
mary responsibility of the Security
Council for the maintenance of
international peace and security"
He then held out an olive branch
to the Russians by noting that I'VE

formula or language and we welcome
constructive suggestions for the i'm
provement of our proposal -
Mr.. Dulles seat in debate was only
two chairs removed from Mr..
Vishinsky, the man who hurled the
accusations at the American delegate
in the midst of the slashing Russian
attacks on long list of American
individuals and institutions.
Debate on the case in the Political
Committee was expected to run at
least a week.

The world is entering on a long
slowly intensifying process of being
softened up for the next Communist
offensive. 1t is a period similar to
that from 1923, when the last post
war Communist revolt in Europe
failed, to 1943, when the designs
were laid that have brought nine
states into control of the Politburo
Loosely stated, the aim of the
Politburo is openly to paralyze free
government in Western Europe and
secondly to dig deeper into the an

The world revolution. having
passed through phase Nv in Europe
will proceed, if these plans are car

The final assault against the
United States Government must
wait until the investment by COM
munism of the Eurasian heartland
progresses to where Eastern Europe
Is now.
These phases do not mean that
the Cornintern is prepared today
to seize government in Western
Europe, as hysterical Americans fear
and hackers of the Marshall aid
plan assert. The groundwork is be-
ing laid, but the Soviets are not
ready to move. War now would be
premature to them. .-.
The decisive role in the next rev.
olutionary situation, as in the post
war 1943-1947 period of conquest, is
likely to be assigned to the Red
Army. The Red Army is the newly
hired wet nurse of Communist rev.
olution.
It Is the Red Army which creates
the political situation under which

mist key ministers and Communist
police leaders take over.

PAINTERS REPORTED
COMING BACK AGAIN

Panthers once roamed the lone
ly valley and along the noun
tain tops of Southwest Virginia
and were a terror to the early
settlers. Now, according to press
reports, panthers have again ap-
peared in Russell county. A re-
cent report says:
"For some time panthers have
been reported in the rugged hill
section a few miles west of Leb-
anon.
Parties residing in that local
ity report having seen two old
panthers and three young ones.
Groundhogs, partly devoured,
have also been found in the sec
ton said to be inhabited by the
wild beasts. Two or three dead
dogs have also been discovered
in the locality" the article con-
cludes.
Panthers were numerous all
over this section rs or 80 years
ago and the early settlers feared
them more than any other wild
beasts. The scream of panther
is sad to have sent shivers and
cold chills through those who
happened to hear it.
If panthers have really appear
ed in Russell county agan, do
mestc animals, as we'll as game
animals will suffer. And in the
event that the report is true,
crowds will soon be organizing
for panther hunts.
