Miss Coast, but High
Winds Are Expected
By the Assoeio.ed Press

I
HATTERAS, N. c., Aug. 31.-A
tropical hurricane moving up the
Atlantic Coast will miss the
mainland entirely If it keeps its
present course, the Weather
Bureau said today.
The bureau warned, however, that
strong winds would be felt along
the coast tonight.
Wind velocity here increased to
80 miles an hour at midmorning.
The forecast for Maryland and
Delaware called for strong north
east winds late this afternoon and
tonight, and fresh northeast winds
along the New Jersey coast tonight.
Conditions Favorable.
Grady Norton, chief forecaster for
the Federal Storm Warning Services
at Miami, said conditions were fay-
orable for the hurricane to continue
Its northeast path ana remain at sea,
I feel reasonably sure it will re-
main of1shore as it passes up the
seaboard along the Middle and
North Atlantic States" he said.
He added that a strong high
pressure area sweeping across the
Great Lakes region would help keep
the storm at sea.
ITO Miles From Hatteras.
A Weather Bureau advisory
placed the hurricane at II am.
ITO miles east-southeast of Cape
Hatteras, moving north-northeast-
ward about II miles an hour and
apparently accelerating in forward
movement.
The advisory added, Its intensity
remains unchanged with strongest
winds around 100 miles per hour at

National Guard
| Announces Ban
Ion Communists

Communist Party members are not
welcome in the National Guard.
The National Guard Bureau said
today that Communists are "un-
suitable for membership" and the
Guard will not knowingly include
Communists in its rolls"
It added that mo men have been
discharged directly for membership
in the Communist Party and it be-
lieves there are not now any bona
fide members" in the organization.
The Guards rule differs from the
Army's policy of deciding whether
to accept and discharge Commun-
lists according to the merits Of each
individual case" It also is at odds
with the new selective service law
which does not protect Communists
from being drafted.

clio Leaders Seekinq
Way 10 Back Truman
And Keep Left Wing
Murray Assumes Unions
Will Indorse Candidate
At Todoy's Session
BY the Associated Press

The CLOS politically split
Executive Board today faced its
toughest campaign puzzler in
eight years-how to indorse
President Truman without losing
important left-wing unions.
The 51-member group met yester-
day, but only skirted the subject. 1t
adopted-unanimously-a legislative
program very close to that Mr.. Tru-
man asked of the Eightieth Con-
gress.
But at least eight unions-includ-
ing the powerful United Electrical
Workers and Harry Bridges West
Coast longshoremen-were lined up
for Henry Wallace and his third
party candidacy last January when
the executive board last took up the
CLOS political stand.
Endorsement Assumed"
CIO President Philip Murray said
lit could be assumed" that the
board would indorse presidential
candidate at today's meeting. Be-
cause the CIO has been so closely
committed to the same objectives as
Mr.. Truman, there was little doubt
that he would get the nod rather
than Gov. Dewey Of New York, the
Republican nominee.
But how the usually diplomatic
Murray would accomplish the in
dorsement without an out-and-out
rift with the electrical workers, Mr..
Bridges, Ben Colds fur and leather
workers and others, remained to be
seen.
A remote possibility would be for
the unions led by Wallace support
ers to take a walk" for the dura-
ton of the campaign. There were
few predictions OF such a course,
however.
Teamsters Limit Activity.
While the CIO board was wrestl-
ing with the problem Of an indorse-
ment here, the General Executive
Board of the AFL Teamsters' Union
decided in Chicago yesterday to
limit its political activities to "a To-
cal level"

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Aug. 81
This city, the largest in the State,
today gave Henry Wallace an
other sampling of the special
brand of Southern hospitality he
has been receiving all over North
Carolina, hurting eggs, vegetables
and boos at him as he appealed
for a hearing.
Mr.. Wallace began his address
hopefully after marching from his
car into the middle Of a crowd OF
some 1000 gathered in front of the
Courthouse. What he managed to
say was heard by few people with
the aid of a powerful loudspeaker
system, but as regards most of his
predominantely white and hostile
audience, he never really had a
chance.
It was more or less a repetition of
the scene at Burlington, Greensboro
and High Point yesterday, except
that here there were more police on

Given More Power in
Cabinet Changes
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Aug. 31.-Premier
Marshal Tito frightened his grip
on Yugoslavia today, promoting
to greater power his trusted gov
ernmental and party lieutenants,
Eduard Kardelj and Alexander
Rankovic.
Stanoje Simic, the non-Com-
munist Foreign Minister, was re-
placed.
Vice Premier Kardelj was pro-
noted from chairman of the Control
Commission to Foreign Minister, but
keeps his post as vice premier.
Rankovic, who heads Yugoslavia' S
secret police, now becomes a vice
premier. He remains interior min
ister.
Kardelj and Rankovic were
singled out with Tito by the Rus
SIAN Dominated Cominform as arch
foes Of the Moscow line in Yugo-
SlaVia.
Decree is Broadcast.
The shifts were announced in q
decree of the ruling presidium of the
Yugoslav National Assembly, which
put in effect a reconstruction of
the Yugoslav government" The
decree was broadcast from Belgrade
by Tanjug, the official Yugoslav
news agency.
Simic, stepping out of the Foreign
Office, takes a post as minister
without portfolio, Tanjug announced.
Other changes it reported:
Durbalagoje Neskovic, former
Premier of Serbia and a member of
the powerful Politburo, becomes a
Vice Premier and gets Kardelj's old
post as chairman Of the Federal
Control Commission.
Shetozar Vukmanovic becomes
Minister of Mines, succeeding Bane
Andrejev. Rodoljub Colakovic be-
comes Minister for Science and Cul-
ture, apparently new post replacing
the commission for art and culture,
which had been headed by Vladislav
Ribnikar.
Hydro Economy Head Named.
Andrejev, moving from the min
ing ministry, was named minister
chairman of the Committee for
Hydro economy, apparently a new
department concerned expansion of
hydro-electric projects.
Mijalko Todorovic, another new
conner, was named Minister of Agri-
culture, succeeding Petar Stambolic,
DR.. Pavle Gregoric, former minister
without portfolio, was named chair
man of the Public Health Commit
tee. succeeding DR.. Dmitar Nestorov.
The brief dispatch gave no details
of the reconstruction" of the gov
ernment beyond announcing the
ministerial changes. No mention was
made of Second Vice Premier Jasa
Prodanovic, Minister Of Justice
FRAME Frol and a number of other
ministries.
Last Change Made May 6.
The last time Tito changed his
cabinet was May 6, when Andrija
Hebrang, minister of light industry
and 1t. Gen. Sreten Zujovic, finance
minister, were dropped for "hostile
and anti-national activities The
Cominform denounced this dismis-
al and said the two were arrested
because they dared to criticize the
anti-Soviet concepts of the Yugo-
slav Communist Party"
Tito, after defending his policies
against the Cominform attack, set
about a quiet cleanup which ap-
parently reached its climax with
today's decree. The shakeup was

Men born in 1928 stepped up
today to register for the peace
time draft while draft boards
prepared to send out classifca-
ton questionnaireS later this
week to many of the 25-year-
olds who signed up yesterday.
Between 1000 and 5000 men, born
in 1922 after August 30 of that year,
registered in the District on the
opening day, 913 of them at the
four main public centers. Complete
totals from police and fire station
registration points and from 125
Federal agencies and 80 private

late this afternoon.
Estimating that 5000 would reg

said the pace would be somewhat
slower than yesterday.

Schuman Will RequestMen in 1923 Bracket
Assembly 10 Approve Sign for Draft Today;
Him as Premier Today Boards Begin Work
Popular Republican Chief
Confident He Will Get
Majority in Ballot
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, Aug. 31.-Robert Schu-
man will ask the National AS
sembly today to reinstate him as
Premier of France. He agreed
last night to try to form a new
cabinet and so end the latest
French political crisis.
The tall leader of the Popular
Republican Party expressed conf
dence that he would get at least
the 311 votes he needs when the
620 Deputies get down to voting this
afternoon.
Mr.. Schuman headed the govern
ment for eight months until last
July l9 when he resigned in the face
of defeat on bill before the As
sembly. During his tenure, he ham,
mered down violent wave of strikes
which all but wrecked France The
Communists hate him vehemently.
Time Declared Pressing.
Time presses and France has
need of a government" Mr.. Schu-
man told reporters last night when
he went to Elysee Palace to inform
President Vincent Auriol that he
was ready to stand before the As
sembly again for approval.
The current crisis popped up Sat-
urday when Premier Andre Marie
and his coalition cabinet quit in a
dispute over economic policies. .
Mr.. Schuman, the foreign minister
in Mr.. Marie's government, hopes
to form his new cabinet from the
same three center parties he had
before - the Popular Republicans
Socialists and Radical Socialists.
There is every indication he in
tends to call on most of the men,
bers of his previous cabinet. That
would mean dropping Finance Min
lister Paul Reynaud, whose conserv-
atlVe views on French financial
policy caused the breakup of the
Marie cabinet.
Reds, De Gaullists Barred.
Mr.. Schuman will exclude Com
munists and followers of Gen.
Charles de Gaulle.
When he said last night that time
is pressing he referred both to
domestic and international events
which are crowding in on French
politicians. Closest to home is the
fact that Gen. de Gaulle is coming
to Paris today for consultations
with leaders of his party. the Rally
of the French People.
Gen. de Gaulle has been clamor-
ing for two years for new general
elections and the center parties have
been banded together for that long
| to keep him out of power. Their
union also is aimed at keeping the
Communists down.
World Events Pressing.
