Joins
CP Effort

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7 -
LPA) = The National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers,
bell-wether of anti-unionism,
has given the lie to the inter-
national Communist charge that
the Marshall Plan is the darling
of American capitalist imperial
ism.
The NAM is lining up solid
with its political darlings, Sena-
tors Taft, Wherry and Byrd, in
a pilot" not to put ERP across,
but to sabotage it, just as the
Communists are trying to do.
NAM News, reactions house
organ, sounded off last week
against President Truman's re-
quest for a $6.8 billion first
year appropriation in a SIT bill
lion European Recovery Pro-
gram. The NAM objects, be-
cause it won't leave enough of
a public surplus for the prof
iteers to talk about in their
campaign for tax reductions.
Truman's plan to establish a
regular government agency,
which can work closely with
existing departments of govern
ment, for the administration of
ERP also disturbs the solons of
the counting houses. Since Euro
pean recovery is a problem of
production and finance, the best
way to handle American aid,
says NAM News, is to set up al
government corporation stated
by "top executives from U. S.
private industry, business, bank
ing and agriculture" This, the
NAM says, will eliminate poll
tics" from its administration.

PAC Will
Discuss
3rd Party

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7 =
NPA) = Following Henry
Wallace's announcement that
he will run for the presidency
as an independent in 1948,
CIO-PAC released the following
statement:
''It has been the policy of the
CIO Political Action Committee
not to support a third party in
1948. The CIO-PAC executive
board will meet in Washington
late in January to discuss in
full the entire political scene
and outline plans for the 1948
C m p a gn. Undoubtedly the
third party question will be one
of the items on our agenda."
PAC's executive b oard is
made up of the presidents and
the secretaries of the five larg-
est internationalS in CIO. The
are: Philip Murray
and David Macdonald, United
Steelworkers; Walter Reuther
and Emil Macy, United Auto
Workers; Albert Fitzgerald and
Julius Emspack, United Elec-
trical Workers.; Emil Rieve and
William Pollack, Textile Work
ers; Jacob Potofsky and Frank
Rosenblum, Amalgamated Cloth
ing Workers.
Seven of these leaders are
thought to favor support for
Truman and the Democratic
candidates generally. Emil Ma
zey, secretary-tr treasurer of UAW,
is believed to be opposed to un-
qualified endorsement of the
Democratic ticket but is known
to be strongly opposed to Wal
lace's candidacy. Julius Ems
pack, UE secretary, is expected
to support Wallace. Whether
President Albert Fitzgerald of
UE will go along with Emspack,
or with CIO President Philip
Murray, who will insist upon
continued coldness toward any
third party ticket, is the subject
of much speculation.

tries as a businessman would

ed, while some banker nego-
tiates a mortgage that will not
be subject to liquidation"
The alternative, the CIO of
ticial maintains, is to do what
al Iowa farmer would do if his
neighbor's barn burned down
and he lost all of his breeding
stock-he'd offer his neighbor
some of his own cattle to build
up his stock again.
If the Marshall Plan is to
mean an expression of the neigh
borhood spirit - which Carey
soys is the heart of democracy
on an international scale, the
State Department cannot do the
Job alone, the CIO man insisted.
Jan Deal Directly
J Labor unions in this country
can deal directly with unions in
France, Belgium, Italy, and the
other nations encompassed by
Marshall Plan help, Carey said,
citing as illustrations the expert
ence of the, CIO when it pre-
Sented the ERP program to the
executive bureau of the World
Federation of Trade Unions last
month.
Carey was sharply critical of
the State Department, which he
said hampered free intercourse
between union leaders because
