Francois Spain among the re-
cipient nations.
Early in the week the Re-
publican-dominated House in
serted such a stipulation. From
Europe's democrats were heard
cries of outrage, that a nation
which they have not included in
the conferences of the 16 parti-
cipating nations should be thrust
into program on whose success
they have staked their battle
against Communist totalitarian-
ism. Even the most conservative
democratic papers in Europe
joined trade unions in protesting
the admission of Franco.
But the action of the Senate
House conferees in knocking
out the~Spanish amendment was
the work of American labor.
CIO President Philip Murray
told the Joint committee: 1--WE
will hurt the ERP and lose
friends among the democratic
people of Europe and of Spain
if the amendment to include
Spain in the ERP is not removed
when the bill goes to the Senate
House conference committee.
Backed BY UAW
He was backed by UAW Presi-
dent Walter Reuther, who wired,
"UAW-CIO has given full sup
port to European recovery pro-
gram but we cannot tolerate or
defend the blood stained tota1i-
tartan dictatorship that came to
power in fascist rehearsal for
world war two. We will protest
every dollar spent to prolong
Franco enslavement of Spanish
people"
The AFL did not release any
public statement on its reaction
to the inclusion of Frances gov
among the recipients
Of ERP. But President William
Green ordered the AFL's legisla-
tive representatives to devote
full time to making it clear to
the conferences and to party
leaders that the AFL hadn't
worked so hard for the Marshall
plan for the sake of regime
notorious for its suppression of
'ree trade unionism.
At the behest of the House a
S463 100000 China aid program,
with $125,000,000 for Chiang's
army was tied on to ERP.

THE AFL realizes the nature of
the current crisis. We have al
ways been strongly opposed to
Communism and have fought
Communists within our unions.
We have preached the doctrine
that in America men are free
and this is one of the blessings
of our democratic form of gov
ernment. We have pointed out
that in totalitarian nations men
are not free-that the state dom
mates the lives of the individuals
and we have called on our peo-
pie to reject totalitarianism and
Communism and embrace and
defend freedom"
Cite Command Abuses
The reason that all three
branches of the armed services
are under their quota strength
at the time, the CIO witness as
serted, "can easily be accounted
for by the abuses" of command
power. Enlisted men must be
treated with the respect and de-
cency which is their birthright
SO that when a man dons a uni
form, he doesn't lose his effec-

 Mrs. Williams said midget veget- ahles include variety of water melon, weighing three pounds and maturing from June l to August IS; corn which natures in 56 days; tiny tim tomatoes and tom thumb lettuce, the size Of tennis ball.
 New annuals include a terra coita pulmanaria; lupins with yell low pea-liAe flowers; also indigo, very hardy; hardy peonies; day lilies in new colors and kinds which do well here. The Christmas rose with large white flowers should do well although not tried much here; also comes in Lenten, 6 pinklsh color.
 There are new varieties of ver- onica; the gaslight plant, white bleeding heart and the balloon flower which are worth trying here, Mrs. Williams continued. Three shrubs she mentioned which might do well are witch hazel, arolia Japonica and Mexican orange; also the butterfly bush which has been successful here. Heather, which grows in low mound of white; and the Korean or Hansen bush hardy cherry trees are suggested.
 Tender perennials which might do well as annuals here, Mrs Will iams said, are moonflower vines, cathedral bells, dwarf salvia, wish bone flower, small delphinium. ear- ly cosmos. New bulbs include the yellow winter aconite.
