|CI0Execufiyes 10 Face
Criticism by Left Wing
|Ai Session This Week
by the As.eeiotsd Press

CIO leaders met here for major
policy talks this week amid a
furry of left wing criticism stirred
by President Phillip Murray's sup
port Of the Marshall European Aid
Program and his hands-of attitude
toward the Wallace third party.
For virtually the first time since
he assumed the CIO presidency in
1910, Mr.. Murray or his associates
are the target of open attack by
leftist organs such as the Com
munist Daily Worker in New York
and the Daily Peoples World on
the Pacific Coast.
CIO officers were certain this new
criticism would creep into the, dis
cussions, set to begin next Wednes-
day, when the nine vice presidents
1 meet with Mr.. Murray and Secre-
tary- Treasurer James B. Carey.
The 51-member executive board
ments Thursday and the Political
Action Committees executive board
on Friday.
II Many Issues Pending.
Top policy on future legislation,
wage demands, the Taft Hartley
Act, the Marshall Plan, World Fed
Grafton of Trade Unions, The Third
Party and politics generally will be
made at these sessions.
Communist organs have attacked
especially the CLOS position in sup
port of the Marshall program in
Europe-first indicated at the
Boston convention in October and
implemented by Mr.. Carey's work
on behalf of the program at the
Paris meeting of the executive
bureau of the World Federation OF
Trade Unions in November.
Mr. Carey and Michael Ross, the
iCIO's international affairs director
will leave again for Paris on Satur-
day. The WITH bureau, meeting in
February, again will tackle MFR

underlying aims of a program such
as that of Secretary of State Mar
shall are in sympathy with the
WFTU's own objectives: to improve
the lot of working people.

however, left unanswered many of
the questions raised by the State
Board Of Regents at special meet
ing here Thursday. DR.. M. A. Nash,
chancellor, said the board will meet
again Monday to consider today's
order.
The regents had pointed out that
funds have been allocated this year
and no money is available for pro-
viding a law school at Langston
University, the only institution for
higher education of Negroes in the
state. They questioned whether an
order for law school at Langston
or any other place would comply
with the United States Supreme
Courts decision requiring the State
to admit Mrs. Fisher to the present
law school or set up separate and
equal facilities for her.
At Bartlesville, John H. Kane,
chairman of the regents, said to-
night, however: THE problem,
whatever it may be, is not financial.
We have sufficient funds"
DR.. H. w. Williamson, State
president of the National Associa-
tion for the Advancement of Col
ored' People, said: Il believe the
State of Oklahoma is too honorable
to try to circumvent a ruling Of
the United States Supreme Court,
tor the time being we will wait and
see.
"If it should appear that the
United States Supreme Courts
orders are not being followed We
would probably resume the legal
fight.
I'VE interpret the Federal order
to mean that Mrs. Fisher can en-
roll equally and at the same time
as other students in the State law
school,"

The State Department added:
There Is no contradiction between

statements Of Secretary Forrestal.
In reply to a question concerning
