Randolph Urges Truman
To End Army Race Bon
BY fhe Associoted Pies,

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE Com
mittee Against Jim Crow in Military
Service and Training has asked
President Truman to issue an ex-
ecutive order ending racial segrega-
ton in the armed forces.
The committee, in letter signed
by A. Philip Randolph, leader of the
Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters,
and Grant Reynolds, member of the
New York State Corrections Com
mission, said such action by the
President would set a moral pace
for the special session of Congress.
The letter to Mr.. Truman yester-
day said that the Republican Party
expressed its disapproval of Army
segregation, "and because the re-
Gently adopted platform Of your own
party called in essence for abolition
of racial distinctions within the
military establishment" there is now
"a bipartisan mandate to end mill
tary segregation"

Mundt Will Offer
Modified Red Bill
BY the Associotsd Press

IOWA CITY, Iowa, July 17.-Rep-
resentative Mundt, Republican, of
South Dakota says efforts will be
made to pass a revised version of
the Mundt-Nixon bill during the
special session Of Congress.
Mr.. Mundt said in an interview
here last night the major objection
to the original bill was that the
measure would outlaw the Commu-
mist Party. The bill would have
made it unlawful for any organiza-
ton to advocate establishment of
totalitarian dictatorship in the
United States. 1t also would have
required the Communist Party to
register all members and all Com
munlst front organizations in the
United States. The revised YER
sion, Mr.. Mundt said, would require
Communists to register. He did not
give any other provisions of the re-
vised measure.
I'VE have made it so plain that
this bill is not for outlawing the
Communist Party that blind man
with cane in the basement at mid
night could tap 1t out" he said.
In a speech last night, Mr.. Mundt
called for six-point American
doctrine" that "at least the Secre-
tary OF State can understand"
The six points included:
Declaration by both major parties
to help those capable of direct d
sistance to aggressive moves,
well-f1nanced information program
abroad; abandonment of the Nor
genthau plan to reduce Germany to
an agricultural state; cessation of
arms and machinery tool shipments
to Russia; cleaning out" of traitors
In the United States Government.

bers of the wealthy Mccormick
family were sued yesterday by q
New York department store for
what the store claims is a bill of
$12,118.89 for merchandise.
Named as defendants in the suit

Bros. are Miss Elizabeth Mccormick
and her brother, Robert Hall Nc
Cormick, an attorney.
They are descendants of Leander
J. Mccormick, a brother of Cyrus
H. Mccormick, the reaper king.
Gimbel's claims the money is
owed for paintings, chinaware and
antiques purchased by Miss Nc

named a defendant because he is
trustee OF fund established by
their late father, Robert Hall Nc
Cormick, the bill states. Miss Nc
Cormick is beneficiary of one
sixth of the trust.
Girhbel's obtained a judgment for
the amount in an uncontested hear

Abandons Imitation Fight.
Benjamin F. Fairless, president of
United States Steel, said in state
ment the decision to boost wages
simply meant the corporation was
forced to abandon its plans to stab
ilize living costs by pegging wages.
Last April Big Steel' did just that
it refused demands for a "substan-
tial increase" and also lowered prices
of its products some SOS, 900 an
nually.
Mr.. Fairless was critical of some
members of the steel industry for
not following his company's lead In
price cutting. He declared:
Various other members of the
steel industry did not follow this
action of United States Steel and
did not reduce their prices for steel
products"
The CIO Steelworkers' statement,
released by President Philip Murray,
said the present contract with big
Steel" is extended to April 80, 1850,
with the union reserving the right to
negotiate wages and social insurance
in July, 1949. Mr.. Murray said the
union will have the right to strike
on these subjects at that time" if
necessary.

Special Session Faces
New Nomination Fight
On LiIienthaI, Others |
By the Associated Press


More than 900 Federal job hold
ers-possibly including David E.
Lilienthal, chairman of the Atomic
Energy Commission-face an un-
certain future today, caught in the
crossfire between President Truman
and . hostile Congress.
The Senate made no move during
the last session Of Congress to con-
firm long list Of presidential ap-
pointments ranging from postmas-
tiers to Federal judges.
The great bulk of these nomina-
ton ordinarily would become void
on July 20-thirty days after Con-
gress closed shop with no intention
Of returning until December 81.
But Mr.. Truman's call for a
special session beginning July 26
will raise the whole question of ap-
polntments again. He is certain to
fire almost the whole list right back
at the Senate.
Mr.. Truman also has made sew
eral interim appointments since
adjournment. These must be re-
submitted to the Senate if the ses-
sion lasts as long as 40 days. Other
wise, If the appointees continue in
ONCE, they do so without pay.
Among the top-hight nominations
which have not had Senate approval
are these:
May Have to Renominate Lilienthal.
James Boyd of Colorado, to be
director of the Bureau of Mines;
Thomas c. Buchanan of Pennsyl-
vania, to the Federal Power Com
mission. and, 1t appears, Mr.. Lilien-
thai and four others as members of
the Atomic Energy Commission.
An odd twist has developed in
the reappointment of the five
atomic officials.
All have served on the commits
sion since it started. A few months
ago, Mr.. Truman renominated Mr..
Lllienthal to q five-year term as
director. The others were named
for terms ranging from one to four
years.
However, Republican leaders, say
ing the administration to be elected
IN November should be permitted
to name its own atomic commission,
pushed through bill extending the
terms of the commissioners only
until June 80, 1850. President Tru-
man signed that bill reluctantly.
But-the measure did not name
Mr.. Lilienthal or his colleagues spe-
cifically. And their regular ap-
pointments expire August l.
That may mean they will have
to be re-nominated after that date
If they are to continue in their
jobs.
Fight May Not Be Over.
Mr.. Lilienthals original nomina-
ton stirred hot fight in the Senate.
The Presidents effort to re-appoint
him for five years whipped up an
other. Now it appears that the
fight over Mr.. Lilienthal may not
be over.
Mr.. Boyd's appointment has hit
q series of snags, too.
He was named director of the
Bureau of Mines last August in an
interim appointment. Since then,
the President has given him two
months interim appointments-and
Mr.. Boyd has served for the last six
months without pay in his $4,000
a-year job.
