BOSTON, Oct. ia Catholic
archbishop today asked the CIO
to support such parts of Ameri-
can foreign policy as will provide
food, money, coal, clothing
friendship and faith" for the
needy of the world.
This plea-by Archbishop Richard
j. Gushing of Boston-opened CIC
convention that is fast taking on
international Importance.
Secretary of State Marshall was
the hottest topic as 900 or more dele
gates gathered for the first session
In the midst of an international
crisis, the CIO leadership invited
Gen. Marshall here. He accepted
yesterday and will speak Wednes-
day.
On all sides, this is being interp-
reted as a slap by the CIO at the
Communists-within the CIO and
elsewhere-who have been attacking
Gen. Marshall and American mo-
tives in helping Europe.
Archbishop Praises CIO.
Archbishop Gushing in his ad-
dress praised the CIO and organized
labor generally.
He said he hopes the CIO with its
great far-reaching prestige" will
back "the human war" on hunger
and fear abroad. He called for
"nonpolitical' aid to "all the needy
of the world who turn to us
All indications are that the CIO
convention will indorse just such
nonpolitical program.
Further, leaders in the CLOS
right-wing majority are convinced
that the invitation to Gen. Mar
shall, its acceptance and the speech
itself should have an important ef-
feet on European workers and in
crease the United States Govern
ment's prestige in labor circles
abroad.
According to this view, many
European workers will be impressed
by the fact that the CIO is friendly
to Gen. Marshall, who is being de-
nounced in pro-Soviet propaganda
First Labor Speech.
1t will be Gen. Marshalls first
speech before a labor convention
The CIO leaders refused to COM
ment publicly. President Philip
Murray said only that he is "de-
lighted" that Senator Marshall will
speak.
The international situation has
captured top billing at this conven-
ton, but there are other matters.

FBI and Police Suid
To Have Record of
Regional Director
By Joseph Young

A known Communist" is be-
ing kept on the Government
payroll as a $10,000-a-year Off
cial with the Federal Public
Housing Authority, Chairman
Rees of the House Civil Service
Committee charged today.
Although Mr.. Rees did not identify
the official by name, he said he was
one of the FPHA regional directors.
"The FBI conducted an investiga-
ton of him in 1912, which revealed
that at least eight reliable witnesses
stated that while in college and sub
sequently, he was a member of the
Communist Party or was associated
with Communist-front organizations
and publications, Mr.. Rees said.
Furthermore, the KanSan charged,
a check "at Metropolitan Police
Department" (the place was not
specif1ed) shows that the official in
question is ION a list of known
Communists.
AuCACCtltCs
Mr. Rees cited the case as an
outstanding example" of the "in-
effectiveness" of the present loyalty
investigation program.
The official, Mr.. Rees said, was
an executive director of field hous-
ing agency until 1945, when he as
sumed the position of a regional
director with the FPHA.
Referring to the FBI report, Mr..
Rees said:
This report of investigation was
furnished the National Housing
Agency in 1912, but no action was
taken because it. was said he was
not then a Federal employe."
Mr.. Rees said that in June, 1945,
the Civil Service Commission au-
thorized the mans appointment to
his present position as regional di-
rector subject to investigation.
No Further Action Taken.
Although the commission knew of
his background, no further investi-
cation or action has been taken in
the case, Mr.. Rees said.
He is war service employe, does
not have classified status and in
spite of the derogatory information
in the files of the FPHA and the
Civil Service Commission, he has
been continuously employed in the
Federal Government for more than
two years." Mr.. Rees said.
Commissioner Dillon S. Myer of
the FPHA made the following state
ment:
"All our regional directors served
in the housing field with distinction
during the war. There is no reason
to believe that any of them are dis
loyal in any way
However, if the loyalty of any
employe Is in question, the ma
chinery now being set up as part of
the loyalty program will be used by
us to ascertain the facts"
Mr.. Rees, whose own loyalty
measure was passed by the House,
but has not been acted on by the
Senate, said his bill would be more
fair to Federal employees and at the
same time it will protect the Federal
Government against the infiltration
of disloyal employees"
He said the present loyalty pro-
gram permits agencies to wait 18
months before completing the pre-
liminary checkup of all employees.
I'm other words, under the present
program, an agency may withhold
the names OF those employees about

Will Give First-Hund
Reports on Europe
To Officials Here

PRESIDENT Truman today called
four of his top representatives
in Europe to the White House to
give a flrst-hand report on Euro
pean conditions to officials of
Government agencies concerned
with aid to Europe.
The Presidents move followed re-
ports in some top official circles
here that despite Russia's all-out
battles against the Marshall plan for
European economic recovery, the
Soviet Union will stop short of a
hnal breakdown of relations with
this country any time soon.
The Representatives reporting at
the White House conference are
Lewis w. Douglas, Ambassador to
Great Britain; 1t. Gen. Walter
Beaell Smith, Ambassador to Rus
sla; Robert D. Murphy, political ad-
wiser in Germany, and Gen. Lucius
D. Clay, United States military gov
ernor i'll Germany.
Summoned to hear their reports
were Undersecretary of State
Lovett, Secretary of the Treasury
Snyder, Secretary of Agriculture
Anderson, Undersecretary of State
Clayton, Herbert E. CASTOR, acting
chairman Of the Export-Import
Bank, and two members of the
banks Board of Directors, Lynn
Stambaugh and Clarence E. Gauss,
and Carl c. harrington, vice presi-
dent of the Commodity Credit Corp
To Report Impressions.
The meeting was described as one
for the giving and receiving of in
formation, not calling for any de-
ciSionS.
Ambassadors Smith and Douglas,
Gen. Clay and Mr.. Murphy hap
pened to be here at the same time
for consultations and it was said
that Mr.. Truman thought it would
be good idea for them to report
their flrst.hand impressions of
conditions in Europe to officials
handling aid problems here.
AS the meeting broke up about
pm. Secretary of State Marshall
entered the White House for lunch
with the President. His appearance
was a surprise. State Department
officials said he came from New
York, where he is heading the Amer
lean delegation to the United Ma
tlons General Assembly, this morn
ing and would return to New York
after lunching with Mr.. Truman.
The new estimate of the possible
Russian attitude on avoiding a final
break in the west, it was learned from
otflclal sources, is entering into basic
planning now being undertaken for

Campaign on Great Issues.
The view is that Russia will cam
palgn to the limit against the United
States on great world issues but
will not at this point be willing to
wreck any important piece of ma
chinery for international negotia-
ton.
This opinion is understood to
have been presented to State, de-
fense and other policy-makins
officials by Ambassador Smith and
Gen. Clay
The week will bring ma ior devel-
opments on at least three sectors of
the economic front, all involving to
some extent the central problem of

Existing Centers Cited.
Last nights meeting was arranged
by the Mid-City group to consider
the practicability Of establishing q
teen center to combat juvenile de-
linQuency in the downtown area.
It was brought out that existing
centers at Jefferson, Langley and
Powell Junior High Schools and at
local churches are equipped to handle
children from downtown homes.
These youngsters, however, seem
to prefer lounging on street cor
ners" to making nightly trips to
distant centers, 1t was said.
A place of recreation in the 'busi-
ness district probably would draw
these children ION the fringe" the
group was told.
On the other hand, several Recre-
alton Department representatives
argued no youth center can be sue
cessful without volunteer adult su-
pervisors, selected from among in
terested area residents.
A blatant indifference" on the
part Of the majority Of downtown

By Comdr. Finn Rome


RONNE EXPEDITION BASE,
MARGUERITE BAY, Antarctic,
Sept. 13 Delayed Wide tempera-
ture variations continue here, al
though in the last week we have
had mostly sub-zero weather.
At the beginning Of the seven-day
period, the thermometer stood at 33,
but it rapidly fell to 81 below. And
except for a period of a few hours
when there was an upward rush to
rs above, we have experienced below
zero cold. The "a degrees above re-
corded today is the high for the
week.
Meanwhile, the pressure, although
still below normal, is rising steadily
1t reached its highest point today
Winds have been calm and visibility
excellent. Several horizon mirages
were noted. Our plateau station re-
ports temperature of IS below and
visibility up to 200 miles.
Disregarding the cold, we made
several ski trips this week across the
covered bay to nearby islands
which lie in the direction of a sealing
ground miles from our base. A
group of us, including Mrs. Rome,
visited that sealing ground a few
weeks ago. At the time, the first
craheater seal of the season couldn t
resist closer inspection of the un-
familiar woman visitor to the Ant
arctic. His curiosity was his un-
doing. That night we enjoyed fresh
