King George Suffering

All Public Engagements,

BY the AssoeIoted Press

LONDON, Nov. 23.-King

arterial ailment, Buckingham
Palace official correspondents re-
ported today. All his public
engagements have been can
celed.
The announcement, apparently
authorized by the King himself, said
the ailment did not involve q blood
clot.
The Kings physicians said in q
medical bulletin early today the
King suffered from IAN obstruction
in the circulation Of the legs which
has only recently become acute" and
that defective blood supply to the
right foot caused anxiety.
Newspapers and court circles gen.
orally interpreted the bulletin tc
mean that q blood clot had formed
in the Kings right leg. This belief
was heightened by the physicians

Australian-New Zealand tour next
year should be Cancelled because the
strain might well involve serious
risk to a limb"

Whether the palace correspond
ents' dispatch meant the King is
suffering from phlebitis was not
clear. Phlebitis Is an inflammation of
the inner membrane of the veins.
The dispatch was sent out after Sir
John Weir, the royal family ply
sician, paid a morning call on the
King. This was several hours after
issuance of the first bulletin.
The news that shocked the en-
pire was released early today by
Buckingham Palace so it could be
announced simultaneously in the
Parliaments of Australia and New
Zealand that the royal tour of those
countries set for 1949 had been
abandoned.

For Stand Against
Leftist Philosophy
Senator'S Speech Follows
Murroy's Attack on Reds
Which Brought Uprour
BY the Associated Press

PORTLAND, Oreg., Nov. 23.-
CIO convention delegates trooped
back into session today still ex-
claiming over Philip Murray's
historic eruption against the
Communists and eager for more
wallops at the CLOS left wing.
At the same time, Senator Morse,
Republican, of Oregon, in speech
prepared for delivery today, called
on the CIO for craftsmanship" in
helping to write new labor law
that would be fair to both unions
and industry.
Senator Morse commended the
CIO leadership for its fortnight
stand" against extreme leftist
philosophies."
Cheers and Boos.
This fortnight stand" had the
convention in an uproar of cheering
and booing yesterday.
Mr.. Murray, CIO president, in
three speeches hammered at the
Communist Party, Henry Wallace
supporters, Marshall Plan opponents
and CIO unions which he accused Of
obvious inability" to organize the
unorganized workers in certain
fields.
The objects of his attack fought
back, as they were expected to fight
again today when the convention
begins debating resolutions.
But they were hooted, heckled,
guffawed at, attacked by Walter
Reuther and James Carey 1.-TWO of
Mr.. Mrray's more vocal lieuten-
ants, and finally swamped with
votes.
Minority Report Submitted.
The voting was on the question of
approving MIR. Murray's annual re-
port, which contained praise of the
Marshall Plan of European aid.
Donald Henderson, president OF
the food and tobacco workers, had
brought in minority committee re-
port objecting to the Murray docu-
ment.
Mr.. Murray asked the convention
to give the CIO Executive Board the
power of looking into the failure"
of the United Public Workers, Office
and Professional Workers, Retail
and Wholesale Workers, and other
unions which he did not name. He
wants the board to see what can be
done about organizing the millions
OF Government workers, white collar
workers, and retail clerks that have
not been organized into unions.
Electrical Workers Aloof.
Mr.. Murray did not aim his attack
at the United Electrical Workers.
This union, the largest and strongest
CIO union whose leaders supported
Henry Wallace, stayed aloof from
yesterdays fury. It's delegation
voted in favor of the Murray report,
Marshall Plan and all.
Reports persisted today that Mr..
Murray was turning thumbs down
on the efforts of some right-wingers
to oust Albert j. Fitzgerald, preSi-
dent of the Electrical Workers, from
his post as CIO vice president in
the elections Friday.
< Senator Morse's speech brought an
abrupt change of tone into the
convention sessions at Portland's
Masonic Temple.
He is in high standing with labor
unions, partly because he opposed
the Taft-Hartley Act in the Senate
and now wants 1t repealed.
But he told the CIO today that
