Ernst, who had been a close
friend and adviser of Frank

than Roosevelt.
When ! was young, the Presi-
dent said, I saw fiery crosses
burned on the hills above In

Forces Use of New Mark

MOSCOW, June 26 (P).-Pravda
today charged American authorities
in Berlin are resorting to violence to
force Germans in their sector to
use the new Western mark, instead
of the Soviet currency.
Yuri Korolkov wrote in the Soviet
newspaper, In the last analysis
only Soviet money will be accepted y
The article claimed Americans in
Berlin are preparing to refuse food
cards to any person who will not
take Western zone money, breaking
up protest meetings against it and
tearing down placards advertising
exchange points in the Russian sec
tor where Soviet marks can be re-
ceived.
Korolkov said American authori-
ties were attempting to prevent Ger
mans from crossing into the Soviet
sector to exchange their money, He
said he saw German police in Amer
ican cars beating up outspoken
Berliners.

President is nominated by the Demo-
Gratis.
Mr.. Green said the federation
definitely would make an issue of
congressional action which stripped
the Labor Department Of important
functions-notably the Cancellation
Service and the United States En-
ployment Service.
Backs Keen johnson.
Mr.. Green called on the President
to suggest that Keen johnson, a
former Undersecretary OF Labor and
one-time Governor of Kentucky, be
named Secretary of Labor to succeed
the late Secretary Schwellenbach.
He told reporters that Mr.. Truman
seemed to react favorably ito the
suggestion), but no commitments
were made"
Mr.. Green said the President
who has been sharply critical OF
Congress for cutting down the
stature of the Labor Department
explained that he wanted to appoint
a Secretary who would make some
contribution to the restoration OF
the department"
Additional Legislation Needed.
Mr.. Green's own comment was
that additional legislation would be
required, inasmuch as Congress had
enacted legislation that set the
Cancellation Service up as an in
dependent agency under the Taft
Hartley Act and transferred the
USES to the Federal Security
Agency.
Declaring that the Labor De-
partment has been reduced to a
mere shadow" Mr.. Green said,
1--WE are going to make 1t an issue
in the election because We consider
the action of Congress as q direct
blow to labor"
Mr.. Green pointed out that while
Congress was cutting down the La
Dor Department. 1t was expanding
the Commerce Department, which
