Italy and France
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 1s.-Europe's s
"left wing revolutionaries," Gov
Thomas E. Dewey said yesterday
ARE just lying back, waiting for
the next chance" to seize control of
Italy and France.
Speaking at "rechrisfning' cere-
monies for the second food cargo
ship bearing Friendship Train gifts
to Italy, the Governor praised the
efforts of Italy toward reconstruc-
ton, but declared that as they
struggle to rebuild society and a
free government from the ruins of
war, they are under constant
attack by forces operated on strings
manipulated by Moscow"
The ship, the 10,40O-ton Hoosier
State of the State Marine Line
was scheduled to sail today with a
cargo of 100000 pounds of food
bound for Genoa.
After Gov. Dewey's speech, Mrs
Alberto Tarchiana, wife OF the
Italian Ambassador, temporarily
renamed the vessel Friendship
Cargo"
1--WE have seen how the Com
munists in Italy as well as in
France staged a desperate effort to
upset and seize control of the gov
ernments of those countries" Gov
Dewey said.
fortunately, those attempts were
defeated, but the struggle is not
over. The left-wing revolutionaries
are just lying back, waiting for the
next chance. But they can be, they

5 Star Carriers to Deliver Student Art Calendar

Within the next few days your
Evening Star carrier boy will be
knocking at your door bringing a
copy of The Evening Stars 194s
Student Art Calendar.
The calendar is illustrated with
six paintings by young art students
in Washington and the surrounding
Metropolitan Area. The paintings
were selected from nearly $50 pic
lures submitted in the contest by
junior and senior high school
students under 18.
The cover OF the calendar was
painted by Glib Crockett, Star staff
artist, his model being Billy Latin,
son OF Star circulation supervisor.
Included with the six paintings are
pictures of the artists and bio
graphical data concerning each.
The six winning students were
Walter Hawthorne Of Cardoza High
School. Eugenia Brandenburger of
Washington-Lee High School, James
Younger Of Woodrow Wilson High
School, Patricia Richmond OF JET
ferson Junior High School in Arling-
ton, Janet Hulburt of Gordon Junior
High School and Joan Reid of Cen
trail High School. Each received a
500 United States Savings Bond.
All proceeds from the distribution
of the calendars by the carriers will
be for the benefit OF each individual
carrier. Those desiring additional
copies of the calendar may obtain
them at the business counter in the
lobby Of The Star Building for
rs cents.
The success Of last years student
art contest indicates that a great
incentive has been given to young
artists. A similar contest is being
held this school year, and again, as
last year. the six winners will each
receive a 500 United States Savings
Bond.
There will be a change in the
method of selecting the winners,
however; the public will be given a

Subpoena Fight Nears
Decision as NLRB
0verruIes Printers
BY the Assoeioted Press

A battle Of subpoenas in the Taft
Hartley Act case brought by the
American Newspaper Publishers AS
,sociation against the AFL Interna-
.tional Typographical Union moved
a step nearer decision today.
The five-man National Labor
Relations Board yesterday put the
whole subpoena question in the
hands Of its trial examiner, Arthur
Left. 1t thus overruled the union,
which wanted the board members
to hold separate hearing and de-
eide these matters personally.
Mr.. Left will resume the hearing
here Monday. A session scheduled
today was postponed because of the
illness of an attorney.
The union is accused of several
violations of the Hartley Act.
Union Told to Produce Records.
The subpoena situation is this:
/. The office of NLRB General
Counsel Robert N. Denham, which
is prosecuting the case. has issued
subpoenas ordering the unions
national officers to produce the rec
ords of their August convention and
other documents.
2. Union lawyers have issued
a subpoena ordering Cranston
Williams, general manager Of the
Publishers Association, to produce
certain bulletins which were sent
out to member newspapers.
Each group. the union and the
association. has asked the board
to revoke the order directed
against it.
Counsel for the union had con-
tended that the Taft-Hartley Act
gives the board no authority to
delegate to an examiner the ques-
ton of whether subpoena should
be revoked.
Strike Blamed on Congress.
Meanwhile, AFL President Will
liam Green blamed Congress for the
Chicago newspaper strike and Of
fered the striking printers full
measure Of support" from the AFL.
He said in a statement the ITU is
"morally right" in the Chicago sit
uation and-"we are firmly con-
vinced that it is legally right also"
The printers have been on strike
since November "a. Chicago news
papers have continued publication
with typewriter copy reproduced by
a photo-engraving process.
Mr.. Green said the Taft-Hartley
law has upset "a peaceful and most
satisfactory labor management re-
lationship which existed for more
than 80 years between the publishers
of newspapers and printers in Chi
cago."
Labor Law Cause. Green Says.
He continued: The cause of this
strike is the Taft-Hartley law and
the responsibility for 1t rests square
ly upon the Congress of the United
States"
Mr.. Green didn't mention the
closed shop, but apparently he was
referring to that part of the new
law which prohibits renewal Of
closed shop contracts (under which
nobody but members of the union
can work in plant. The printers
union has long held closed shop
contracts with publishers.

priations Committee started an in
vestigation of the annual and sick
leave question and there have been
reports that the committee might
advocate legislation reducing the
annual leave benefits somewhat.
Mr.. Burns union, as well as other
Government employees groups, are
prepared to vigorously fight any at
tempt to reduce the current 26 days
vacation benefits.
The AFGE leader charged that
there are these relatively few Gov
ernment officials who are playing
ball with members Of Congress on
the sick leave question. They are
probably doing so in the hope of
getting greater appropriations for
their particular agencies in ex-
change for their support of reduced

Congress would direct the commits

USED FATS VITAL TO
WORLD FOOD SUPPLIES

Jesse B. Gilmer, Administrator of
the Production and Marketing Ad-
ministration of the U. s. Depart
ment of Agriculture, in an official
statement points out the connection
between world scarcities of wheat,
corn and other grains used as feed
for livestock and salvaged used kit
chen fats in American homes. "Sal-
vaged fat" says Mr.. Gilmer, has
taken the place of other fats and
oils, many of which require feed
grains in their production" Be-
hind that short sentence is whole
agricultural economy. Hogs and
other livestock produce large por-
tion of the fats and oils used for
food and in industries. Many fats
and oils have specific uses such as
linseed oil for paints and varnishes.
But, many of the fats and oils are
interchangeable for industrial use.
Fats that are in abundant supplies,
can be substituted in many instan-
ces for scare fats and oils.
However, the entire world supply
of fats and oils has dwindled ever
since the beginning of the second
world war due to excessive de-
mands upon fats and oils supplies
and curtailed oil-seed crops and
livestock production.
Therefore, the salvaging of used
kitchen grease in American homes
is an important contribution to the
world economy. Every pound oi
used kitchen fats turned in to meat
dealers augments the overall sup
ply of fats and oils. Used kitchen
fats processed for industrial use
make available vitality needed sup.

purposes, thereby easing the world.

Real-Life 'TugbOat
Annie Sees a Dream
Come True
BY ADELAIDE KERR
AP Nezcsfeatures Writer

IN MEETING Marion McKaye, a
lot of people feel as though they
have met Tugboat Annie in the
flesh.
The McKaye-weight 217 pounds
and eyes blue as the sea-was once
vaudeville singer But war
time found her broke in Miami and
longing to "do me something pa
triotic."
$50, honey" she said the other
day in New York, II got myself a
job as cook on the tugboat Marian
Adele in Miami, bringing in rum
and sugar and bananas and sand
from Haiti and Honduras. On a
tugboat, understand, everybody
helps wherever he is needed. So
pretty soon, l was standing watch
and taking the wheel to relieve the
skipper. We have little tiny boats
down there and except in hurri-
cane time those waters are a lot
calmer than these waters around
New York.
well, after awhile l took the
Marian Adele out as skipper my

we got lost with load of lumber

off duty the quartermaster had the
wheel; he'd been drinking and let

did ever have trouble because
the men didn't want to take orders
from a woman? No. Never. They
always said l was a good influence
on the men. I'm old enough, you
4 see."
Miss McKaye came to New York
to realize a dream she has had fo1
the last two years-a dream thai
! grew in a roundabout way. After
the war her Maimi boss gave hel
permission to take the tug to New
York and look for a job.
Milford chronicle., 1947-11-28

She brought the boat UP the in
land waterway with an assistant
skipper and in New York harbor got
her first glimpse of the giant
Queen Mary. How I'd love to bring
in ship like that" she thought.
Before long, however, she moved
on to San Pedro, California, and got
another job on the tug Beaver
again in the galley.
But all the time she was dream
ing about the Queen Mary.
Finally she wrote a New York
towing company which brings the
Queen through the harbor, and told
of her ambition. In time the COM
pany invited her to be guest skip
per during a Queen Mary arrival.
On that bright sunny morning,
Marion McKaye stood at the wheel
of the tug Thomas E. Moran and,
under the direction of the tugs
skipper, Ole Thorsen, brought her
down the Hudson to meet the
Queen. The rest of the complicated
maneuvering was done under
Thorsen's hand; but Marion Nc
Kaye had realized her dream.
With her rosy skin and hair as
white as surf caps, she is a femi-
nine, motherly woman with an easy
honey manner and a million dollar
smile. Behind the Marion Adele's
wheel, she wore an old sweatshirt
and mans battered hat, but for
her New York visit she was dressed
in natty blue and white. Woman
like, the first thing she did as soon
as she received her invitation to be
guest skipper on the escorting tug
was to rush to her dressmaker and
order a new costume for the occa-
sion. 1t was a navy blue suit and
big visored Hollywood cap trimmed
with gold braid.
