CIO> AVG Ask
{. 0. Amnesty

WASHINGTON (LPA) The
Presidents amnesty board, sci
up by President Truman to hear
citizens views on amnesty fol
conscientious objectors in Worlc
War II, heard more than three
dozen witnesses in its first ses.
sions last week. An overwhelm.
ing majority of those heard, in.
Guiding Meyer Bernstein of the
CIO and Justin elFdman of the
American Veterans Committee
favored amnesty.
Members of the Board are
Owen j. Roberts, retired justice
of the U. S. Supreme Court
Willie Smith, former president
of the American Bar Assn, and
James F. O'Neil, Manchester
N. H. chief of police. No date
has yet been set for a report
to the President, and hearings
are expected to continue.
The CIO spokesman, a com
bat veteran of World War II, ex-
planned why the delegates to
the last CIO convention took
time out from a busy and cru
cial convention to express them
selves so forcefully on a sub
ject which, specifically at
least, appears to affect none of
them"
Characterizing "the arrest of
COS who struck against forced
labor" as "compounding of an
injury" Berstein stated: "We of
labor have suffered
from this sort of abuse our
selves. So we protest on our
own behalf as we'll as in de-
fense of the COS"
A Disabled American Vet
Grams representative opposed
any amnesty, while former Natl
Commander Harry w. Colmery
of the American Legion asserted
that a limited number of OBJ
jectors were entitled to con-
for clemency. S. H.
for the Veterans of
Foreign Wars said there should
be no amnesty until the end of
World War II is officially de-
clared.

We don't believe that we
should save all the flowers for a

be said for Claude: There isn't
member of the union who is
more sincere and who works
harder or who is more faithful
than Claude Hess. He has his
faults like everybody else, but
his virtues outweigh them.
One of the things that all of

the mistaken idea that just be-
cause Congress has not acted to
put over any of the anti-labor
legislation that it isn't going to
act. When that occurs, and it

going to need a strong PAC.

Wuxfru! AFL
Grants CIO
A Pay Raise

TRENTON, N. j., March 10
(LPA) - AFL-CIO unity may
still be a matter for the future,
but probably the closest under
standing between the two or
ganizations in the country was
reached here last week.
The international Typograph-
ical Union-AFL, publisher of
the Trentonian, a daily news
paper here, signed contract
with the American Newspaper
Guild-CIO providing pay in
creases of $4,000 a year for II
Guildsmen and calling for a
full Guild shop. In addition,
the agreement specified three
weeks vacation and hr e
weeks severance pay.
Top reporter minimum is $50
after three years, with start
ing minimum of $3.50. Secre-
taries go to a top minimum of
$40 after 18 months.
In Camden, the Guilds new
daily paper, the Camden Free
Press, went into its second week
with its 10000 press run a COM
plete sell out. The Free Press
was started by the Philadelphia
Camden Guild when David
Stern sold the Philadelphia
Record and the Camden Courier
tin.

CIO Ignores
ADA Meeting

CHICAGO (LPA)-One hun
dred and seventy-five represen-
tatives of labor, church, coop,
farm and student organizations
in nine midwest states met here
last week in a regional confer
.ence of liberals sponsored by the
Americans for Democratic Ac-
ton.
The conference, one of 18 to
be held throughout the country
this month, adopted five
point program of foreign and
domestic policy presented by
ADA Co-chairman Wilso o n
Wyatt. The program, together
with recommendations which
will be made by the succeeding
regional conferences, will be
submitted to the ADA Commit
tee of the Whole scheduled to
meet in Washington on March
29th.
On labor, the conference here
declared, "the bases of success
full labor-management relations
are the rights of workers to or
ganize without interference
from management and to bar
gain collectively. We are for the
preservation and strengthening
of existing legislation designed
to safeguard these rights. We op-
pose pending legislation that
would remove these safeguards.
We believe the elimination OF
jurisdictional disputes and un-
justified secondary boycotts and
the insurance of democratic op-
Grafton of trade unions are the
direct responsibility of labor. "
More than a score of AFL
leaders participated in the meet
ing but Presidents w al t e r
Reuther, of the United Auto
Workers-CIO, and John Green,
of the Industrial Union of
Marine & Shipbuilding Work
ers-CIO, failed to attend.
This was attributed to a rec
ommendation made last month
at a meeting of the CIO vice
presidents in Washington. CIO
officials were asked not to lend
their support, as union officers,
to either ADA or the Progress
Sive Citizens of America.
The question of CIO partici-
patton in ADA, which may be
settled this week by the CIO
executive board in Washington
was raised again following the
conference by Mrs. Franklin D
Roosevelt, one of ADA's found
ers.
Mrs. Roosevelt wrote to
CIO President Philip Murray
asking that the CIO modify its
position on ADA participation
by union officials. While her
letter was not released, Mrs
Roosevelt was understood to
have claimed that the ban-if
it actually amounts to that at
present - works in favor of
Communists since many of the
CLOS top leaders who are anti
Communist have associated
themselves with ADA.

 Red A-BOmb Story Is News Fishing
(By Elton C. Fay)

WASHINGTON, (P) - Many of the strange dispatches and thun- derous speeches about atom bombs coming out of Europe strike off cial Washington as primarily Rus sian fishing expeditions for mili- tary information.
 Also involved, well informed authorities said privately today, is propaganda, intended for local Russian consumption as well as for the "cold war" of nerves.
 Forming the fishing technique an old standby in military intelli- gence, these authorities said it works like this:
 A rumor is planted at a point where it will be picked up by some newspaper, magazine or radio sta ton. The idea is to get the rumor into circulation and then see whe- ther it is denied or confirmed.
 In the published denial or con- firmation by any official of an other power, the rumor-planter hopes to glean some information.
 In the case of the a-bomb, for instance, Russia would like to know:
 1. How much the United States knows about Russian progress or lack of progress toward producing an atom bomb. Un the spy trade, this is "counter intelligence.~
 2. Any hint of United States progress in improving its own

ACCIDENTAL DEATH VERDICT GIVEN

The coroner's jury which was called into the death of army ser geant w. R. Kendall sat on the case through Monday night arriv- ing at a verdict of accidental death"
 The verdict was not concurred in by all members of the jury as one juror refused to sign the state ment.
 According to information gath cred from reliable sources it was learned that the army provost marshal and military police went to the residence of the deceased shortly after the shooting and re- moved the body, the gun, and moved furniture about the room in which the body was found, be- fore notifying civil authorities. The result was that the coroner, district attorney and marshal's of- flee were not able to view the evil dence.
 The coroner's jury was "told" how the accident" happened by the officers and men who removed the evidence.

Russia Made And Exploded Atom Bomb Last June

PARIS, (P)-The extreme right ist newspaper PIntransigeant, de- clared in a dispatch from Prague yesterday that Russian scientists exploded a small sample atom bomb last June in Siberia.
 The copyrighted article, written by John Griggs, said one 1912 pound bomb of type being made at "Atomgradn" deep in Siberia, was exploded at 10 am., June Is near the Amur River not far from Lrkutsk. It said the explosion was heard for 20 miles. Top Soviet mil itary men were reported among a group of 280 official witnesses.
 The account declared that the first test was made after the mo mentary disgrace" of Peter Kapit- "a, award-winning Soviet nuclear scientist, who was replaced by Sergei Vavilov as head of the Sov- jet nuclear research organization, known as Service 126."
 U. s. Sen. Brian McMahon O. ConnD, former head of the Senate House atomic energy commission, declared Jan. 27 he suspected Rus sia was developing an atomic fis- sion plant beyond the Ural noun tains. He cited at the time a news report from the Soviet Union that Kapitza had been sent to Siberia as punishment for some crime. McMahon said it seems obvious to me that a more likely explana- ton is that Kapitza is now busily at work behind the Urals con structing an atomic fission plant.")
 Griggs' dispatch quoted as au- thority information transmitted from Moscow" to "confidential sources" Griggs said he was told Russian scientists consider the Soviet Union five years behind America" in development of pro- duction belt methods.
