Aid Program Pushed
with Agreement on
Independent Head
By J. A. O'Leory

The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee was off to a good
start today on the European Re-
covery Program with a unani-
nous agreement that it should
be directed by an independent
administrator with cabinet rank.
The big question of what the COM
mittee will do with the Presidents
budget request for $500 900 900 for
the first Is months of recovery aid
to the 16 Western European coun-
tries remains to be answered.
It may be, several days before the
committee votes on that issue. In
the meantime, it will continue be-
hind closed doors to seek agreement
on other details of the program,
which is designed to put Western
Europe on a self-sustaining basis
and check the spread OF communism
The $20,000-a-year independent
administrator agreed on yesterday
follows the general plan recon-
mended by the Brookings Institu-
ton. The State Departments orig
inal bill recognized that the Eu-
ropean recovery administrator
should be outside the State Depart
ment, but it made him subject to
| the direction of the Secretary of
State on matters of foreign policy.
Equal Rank With Marshall.
1t was generally agreed the Secre-
tary of State should direct foreign
policy, but some members of Con-
gress felt that conflicts might arise
in deciding when given question
involved foreign policy or economic
policy.
The committee plan gives the ad-
ministrator equal rank with the Sec
retary of State, as cabinet men,
ber, which means that any dispute
between them would be settled by
the President. In announcing the
decision, Chairman Vandenberg said
that if the State Department has
any objections he has not heard
them.
On pay the ERP administrator
will be better off than regular
| cabinet officers, who get $4,000
year.
Lewis Douglas, who came home
from his post as Ambassador to
England to help get the Marshall
Plan through Congress, has been
working in close cooperation with
the Senate committee.
Although the Vandenberg COM
mittee was unanimous, there are
indications further changes in the
administrative machinery may be
sought on the floor of the Senate
or House

Wallace Charges US.
Backs Kings, Faseists
BY the As,eeieisd Press

NEW YORK. Feb. 11.-Henry A.
Wallace said last night that the
general foreign policy of thaUnited
states Supports klnGs~react1m- :
aries and fssciscs III around "the
world"
The policy is breeding new
fears" and is "sapping our national
resources as we pour 80 cents out
of every taxs dollar tntq supporting
a movement toward wal" the Third
party presidential aspirant said IN
radio talk.
The United States, he declared, IS
supporting a British policy which
seeks to support the feudal lords OF
the Arab world as they try to sup
press Jew and Arab alike"
Mr.. Wallace said this country "to
all intents and purposes" is backing
the policy of Britain's Foreign Sec
retary Ernest Bevin in Palestine
Saying that Americans are paying
| for the Nations foreign policy "at
the grocery store" and in mental
health" Mr.. Wallace declared I'VE
can't preserve democracy in an at
mosphere of fear"
The true nature of our foreign
policy-a policy of supporting Greek
reactionaries, an undemocratic
Turkish regime, the dictatorship OF
Chang Kai-shek-is becoming ever
more clear to the American people,
the former Vice President asserted
THE most recent evidence of the
hypocrisy of men who talk about
democracy and fight it at every turn
Is to be seen in the Palestine crisis.
Mr.. Wallace's radio talk was made
in support of Leo Isacson, American
Labor Party candidate for Congress
in the oath district.

Senator Pepper, Democrat, OF

will be too slow a process to do the
Republicans any good in 194s.
There is no question about it, -
he declared, President Truman will

Senator Pepper said recent angry
protests against the Presidents civil
rights program, however, may mark
a shift away from solid Southern
Democratic support in future years.
AFTER ALL" he said, I'VE find there
is not much difference often between
the so-called Southern conservative
Democrats and the Northern Re-

Meanwhile, Gov. Fielding Wright

to keep the Southern protest alive.
He told a news conference there will

Failure Of Local 10 File
Pledges Ruled No Bar
To Parent Union

The National Labor Relations
Board was on record today with a
ruling that failure of local unions
officers to file the required Taft
Hartley Act non Communist affi-
davits does not prevent its parent
national union from seeking BAR
gaining rights.
The ruling was made in . case
involving bargaining election pro-
ceedings at Warshawsky & Co.,
Chicago. Two unions competed in
an election last July for the right
to represent company employees, the
CIO United Auto Workers and the
independent International Associa-
ton Of Machinists. The election
ended In a 25-25 tie.
After the new labor law barring
unions whose officers fail to file
affidavits became effective, the auto
workers asked for a rlnoff.
The machinists opposed the UAW
taking part in a run-of on the
grounds there was no evidence to
show that the local CIO officers had
complied with the filing require
ments. The UAW replied that it
had no local at Warshawsky &
Co. as yet and that It's national Of
ficers were in compliance with the
law.
In Its decision, the NLRB ordered
the run-off election to be held
within 80 days. The board ruled
that since the national union was
the petitioner it made no difference
whether or not local officers had
filed affidavits.
Meanwhile, the NLRB announced
that as of February I. total Of 143
international and 2,776 local unions
were in full compliance with the
affidavit requirements. Seventy
nine OF the internationals are aff1li-
ated with the AFL, % with the CIO
and Al are independents. Among
the local unions in compliance, g.
126 are AFL, 22I CIO and 429 in
dependent.

leadership, ofiicially cast his vote
against the resolution.
Wary OF Hatch Act Provision.
What disturhs Federal members
of the union is possible violation OF
the Hatch Act, forbidding political
activities by Government employees
Some contend formal Endorsement
of Mr.. Wallace at the forthcoming
convention would be a definite vio-
lation. OF course the other UPWA
employees are not covered by the
Hatch Act and can do what they
please.
It is expected that Arthur Stein,
former vice president Of the old
UFWA and at present acting secre-
tary-treasurer of UPWA, will head
the new autonomous Federal Sec
ton of the union here.
One thing that will have . great
deal to do with the decision that
Mr.. Stein and his associates must
make about starting over again as
an independent union is the amount
of support they will be able to get
from the national CIO.
Flaxer Refuses to Talk.
Mr.. Flaxer last week refused to
tell the House Labor Subcommittee
investigating the Government Serv-
ices, Inc, strike whether he was a
member of the Communist Party
He based his refusal to answer on
the fact that the issue was an eco
nomic one" and that the commit
tee was trying to make it political
one.
At a press conference last night
Mr.. Flaxer was asked whether
he would mind telling the newsmen
whether he ever has been member
OF the Communist Party.
II do not think that Is anybody's
business" the UPWA chief replied
mot even Glare Hoffman's." Mr.
Hoffman, as chairman of the House
subcommittee, was the one who
originally asked Mr.. Flaxer the ques-
ton last week..
Incidentally, the Executive Board S
action on Mr.. Wallace and the
third party placed it among the
handful of left-wing CIO unions
that have refused to repudiate the
Wallace candidacy Several weeks
ago, the CIO Executive Council, by
decisive vote, flatly repudiated the
Wallace candidacy.
