last campaign TO rthe presidency,
the CIOI, through Sidney Hillman
and the political action committee,
played an embarrassingly notice
able role. In the present contest
between Dewey and Truman the
CLIO is again delivering sldege
hammer bolws for it's candidate
and it's program but the activity
is strictly behind the enc Right
wing leadership is disguised with
Wallace. Has little faith in Tru-
man and distrusts Wewey and the
COP.
But without the active support
of the CLIO the socalled radicals in
the Democratic party never would
have been able to save the recent
convention from the deathly chill
of a compromise on civil rights.
And though the AFL has stood
up and fought for them when the
fighting did the most good. In
deed the human welfare program
calling for Civil Rights, decent
housing, social security, and low
er prices is all hat inspires the
old liberals. And despite the early
efforts of James B. Carey, Emil
REEVE, and other top CLIO officials
to draft Eisenhower or Douglas,
the CLIO will go u p or down with
Truman.
So will the AFL which is col

and representatives who voted for

The AFL Lis not having much

CLIO in several instances has been
forced to purge the political &C

strong pro-Wallace sentiments.
The purge has extended to CLIO

very circumstances of their exist

CIO policy.
Few of the big unions are really
satisfied with the wage increases
granted them. Fact is they would
have accepted rationing and wage
sterilization in order to get price
cuts. They know that within a
few months the few workers who
actually get wage increases will
not be any better off then at
present.
Prices are certain to rise even
faster than at present and those
of us who don't get the increases
will be much worse off. In the

deliberately planned to call up the

Paige Draws $4,000
To Yankee Stadium
BY Alvin E. White

NEW YORK, Aug 10. (ANP)
Making his big league debut 20
years late, Satchel Paige, spectac-
ular and competent baseball pitch
err, was instrumental in drawing
$4,000 people to the Yankee
stadium last Wednesday and
Thursday. This banner crowd saw
Satch pitch three innings and al
low only one hit by the powerful
sluggers of the New York team.
Wednesday, relieving for one
inning, Satch was called upon to
face Tommy Heinrich, Yogi Berra
and Joe DiMaggio. Satch struck
out Tommy making him miss the
third pitch badly; Yogi attempted
to drag a bunt running up to hit
the ball but it rolled straight to
old Satch who nonchalantly tossed
the Yank catcher out; then he got
the Might DiMag to hoist a fly
to Larry Dolby in center.
Thursday night, Satch relieved
Bob Teller and Tommy Byrne Of
the Yanks smashed a feeble sin
gle to left. Then came the Yank
second baseman, George Stirn-
weiss, followed by Tommy Hen
rich, who lined out; Charlie Kel-
Ter and Joe DiMag. The latter
struck out on a pitch which Cleve-
land catcher Jim Hogan lost. He
! didn't know what it was nor where
it was, so Joe reached first, but
i that was all. Satch came through
without being scored on.
! At Wednesdays game, photo
graphers bounded Satch, they shot
him from all angles, in the dugout,
outside, down the line, up the line,
~everywher. Autograph hounds fol-
lowed the pitcher all along the side
| of the diamond and begged for
| autographs.
When his name was announced
to pitch, a mighty roar went up
from the crowd, but when he had
finished his one inning stint, the
stands rose and cheered the man
who perhaps could have been the
worlds Greatest big league pitch
er-IF.
P. S.-OP Satch just took it in
stride, no grinning mo Glowing.

NANKING, April 9.-Generalis-
simo Chang Kai-shek said today
seven of his best divisions were
destroyed in Manchuria, but de-
clareo defiantly the Communists
cannot conquer China.

ment's best divisions were destroyed
in Manchuria. They were my best
armies that under my command
accomplished the revolutionary CAM

These divisions are being reorgan-

fighting strength is still powerful. I"
Gen. Chang evidently meant
the divisions were destroyed over
a considerable period of time.

cided today to extend his
Nebraska presidential primary
campaign in order to tour the
western part of the State to-
morrow.

Dewey's chief rivals in the Nebraska

potential candidates for the Re-

ReportAsking Standby
Price and Wage Curbs
Decides to Give Nation
Latest information on
Initiation Situation
By Joseph A. Fox

President Truman decided to-
day to give the American people
another look at the imitation
picture facing the country.
After discussing with his cabinet
and Council of Economic Advisers
this morning the councils quarterly
report on conditions, the President
decided to depart from custom and
make the report public. 1t will be
released at Z o'clock tonight.
The report is known to emphasize
the need for controls that the Presi-
dent has been trying unsuccessfully
to get through Congress since No
vember. These include standby
powers for rationing and price and
wage controls.
Report Presented by Nourse.
The gist of the report was given
out when it was presented to the
White House by DR.. Edwin G.
Nourse, head of the council. DR.
Nourse said it pointed out that new
infiationary factors had arisen be-
cause of the new tax reduction and
contemplated additional defense ex-
penditures.
After the session this morning
DR.. Nourse was asked if the Presi-
dent and his advisers had indicated
that the inf1ationary picture was
sufficiently grave to warrant a new
warning to the people.
You will have to draw your own
conclusions on that" DR.. Nourse re-
piled.
Paul G.. Hoffman, sworn in today
as European recovefy administrator
sat in on the cabinet meeting. He
described the economic report as

controls will work in producing what

Senate Republicans
Make Lynch Bill Top
Civil Rights Measure
No Dote Fixed for Sturt
Of Floor Fight; Goal for
Adjournment Discussed

The Senate Republican Con-
ference voted today to place the
antilynching bill at the head of
the list of civil rights measures
the Republicans hope to pass
this year.
No date was set. however, for
starting the floor fight over the
civil rights program, which started
revolt among Southern Demo-
Gratis when President Truman rec
commended the program several
weeks ago.
All indications are it will be some
time in May before the anti-lynch-
ing bill is called up, since the COP
leaders also gave assurance that
military manpower and other
national defense needs should be
disposed Of first.
Adjournment Date Discussed.
Chairman Milllk;n Of the Repub-
lican conference said also that the
weekend just before the Republican
National Convention opens on Mon
day, June Il, was discussed as a
goal for congressional adjournment.
Allowing for the fact that dozen
regular annual appropriation bills
also must be put through in the
meantime. it appeared likely the
anticipated floor fight over civil
rights will come as the June climax
of the session.
Southern Democrats are expected
to wage a filibuster if necessary
against the antilynching bill or
other phases of the program, such
as the fair employment practice
code and the antipoll tax bill.
May Apply Cloture Rule.
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio
told reporters, however, he believes
there will be better chance this
year than ever before to apply the
cloture rule.
This rule would break a filibuster
because it limits each Senator to
one hour of debate. 1t takes a
two-thirds vote to invoke the rule,
however, and it has seldom been
used during the 30 years since 1t
was provided for in the Senate
manual.
Senator Millikin said a secret
ballot was taken among the % Re-
publicanS at the conference to de-
termine the order in which the sew
eral civil rights bills should come
up. He did not reveal the vote by
which the antilynching bill VOL
first place.
To Take Up Housing.
Senator Taft said he thought most
Senators favored the bill on the
ground it would be easiest to get
through.
There were indications that the
long delayed subject of housing may
be taken up late next week, while
waiting for the national defense
program.
Republican leaders have not at
tempted to decide whether to take a
final adjournment before the first
political convention in June, or
adjourn subject to recall if emer-
gency conditions make it necessary.
Speaker Martin said recently that
if the administration feels the world
situation is tense in June, Congress
may take only short recesses for the
conventions.
