Higher Federal Pay,
Easing Of Hatch Act
Demanded by AFL
National Representation
For District and locol
Suffrage Also Backed
AFL ASKS UNITY with CIO and
UNIV. Hears Barkley. Page A-3
By Jones Y. Newton
Stc, Stoff CORRESPONDENT

| CINCINNATI. Nov. 20. - The
AFL tonight demanded a COM
prehensive program for improv-
ing the lot of federal employees,
including higher pay and repeal
of the section of the Hatch Act
restricting political activities OF
Government, State and municipa
workers.
The entire Government worker
programs of the American Fedora
ton of Government Employees anc
of the AFL Government Employe:
Council were adopted by the AFI
convention without dissent.
Probably the most important pari
of the programs pertained tc
amendment of the Hatch Act, kill
ing that part which calls for dis
missal of Government workers who
engage in more than a very limited
amount of political activity.
Milder Penalties Favored.
| Both the AFGE, headed by James
G. Yaden, and the Employees Coun-
Gil, of which Leo George of the
postal clerks Is president, declared
| that penalties provided by the Hatch
Act are far too harsh. They favor
the much more moderate penalties
and restrictions of the civil service
regulations.
/ Mr.. Yaden and Mrs. Berniece
Heffner, secretary-treasurer, head
the AFGE delegation here.
/ The convention also adopted
unanimously resolution calling
for national representation for the
District and local suffrage for Dis
trict residents.
/ Hatch Act changes sought by the
AFL would leave undisturbed all
parts other than the restrictions on
political activity, including the non
Communist provision.
The Federal pay raise part OF
the program called for full $500
a year increase for all government
workers. The last session of Con-
gress gave postal workers pay
increase of $3.50 of the $500 other
Federal employees $3.50 year and
District government workers moth
ing.
26 Points In Program.
There were 26 points in the AFGE
program adopted by the conven-
ton.
Other important parts follow:
Opposition to any effort to re-
duce the amount of annual ano
sick leave and the maximum ac-
emulation of leave now available
to Government employees.
! General revision of the salary
schedules of the Classification Act
of 1923, as amended, and elimina-
ton OF ceiling both as to base pay
and overtime from existing pay
legislation.
Subsistence allowance of $40 per
day for employees in travel status
and I cents per mile for official use
of privately owned automobiles.
Preservation of the autonomy OF
the civil service retirement system

Will Review Whole
U. S. Foreign Policy

By Joseph A. Fox
Stor SioH Correspondent

UNITED STATES NAVAL
BASE, KEY WEST, Fla, Nov. 20.
Tanned and relaxed after two
weeks in the Florida sun. Presi-
dent Truman ended his vacation
tonight and tomorrow fies back
to Washington and work.
Accompanied by Mrs. Truman, his
daughter, and his staff, the Presi-
dent will leave Boca Chica Naval
Air Station, eight miles north of
here, at II am. tomorrow aboard
the presidential plane. the Indepen-
dence. His \ Nestimated time Of
arrival is four hours later-about 3
pm.
The impact of world affairs was
intruding on Mr.. Truman even as
he took his final swim this morning.
His aides were setting up plans for
his all-important conference on
Monday with Secretary of State
George c. Marshall and with w.
Averell Hartman, rowing ambassa- =
dor in Europe under the Economic
Cooperation Administration.
Whole Policy to Be Reviewed.
Gen. Marshall, who is due in from
Paris at 9 am. tomorrow, Will be
closeted with the President at the
White House at 1890 pm. Monday
after noon. Mr.. Harriman's confer
ence with Mr.. Truman will come 9
little later and, in part, may overlap
! This conference may be the most
important of the Presidents PIE
inaugural moves in the field for
eign policy. At his press conference
this week, Mr.. Truman made ii
clear that he expects to review the
whole spectrum of foreign policy
with his Secretary of State-ano
that, presumably, includes the arm
ing OF Western Europe against Com
munism, American political support
of the prospective North Atlantic
Union, progress at the United Ma
tions in Paris. and the diplomatic
and political deadlock with Russia
in Berlin.
Equally as important, however
will be the Presidents attempt to
find out just how long he can per-
suade Gen. Marshall to stay on as
Secretary of State. He has said that
he wants Gen. Marshall to stay in
charge of Foreign policy as long as
he is willing, but he also is sympa-
thetic to Gen. MarshallS wish to
60 into retirement after a lifetime
of service to his country.
Work Begun on Messages.
White House staff members have
begun work on his State of the
Union message which goes to Con-
gress on January 8. Mr.. Truman
also has received some of the frs
preliminary figures for his budget
message, which will 60 up aftel
presentation of the President

of January.
Mr.. Truman has said that HI

Clio Board Lifts
New York City
Unit's S Charter
Council Accused Of
'SIuvish Adherence
To Communist Line
BY the Assoeioted Press


The CIO executive board today
revoked the charter of the New
York City CIO Council on the
ground that this body has given
''slavish adherence" to the Com
munist Party line.
The decision, which CIO Presi-
dent Philip Murray said was by a
vote of 38 to 5. ends the case.
In joint statement. James Dur
kin, president of the New York
City Council, and Saul Mills, exec
utive secretary, said they will not
appeal the verdict to the CIO con-
vention next week.
They denied the charges of Com
munist Party dictation, but said
they would accept the decision in
the interests of CIO unity.
Property to Be Taken Over.
The executive board appointed
Louis Hollander, president of the
New York State CIO Council, to
take over all property and funds
of the city group and wind up all
its affairs.
Then, later, CIO officers will de-
termine when to issue a charter to
new council and will set a time
for election of officers.
James B. Carey, CIO secretary and
treasurer, said the five board men,
bers who voted against the decision
were:
Mr.. Durkin. who besides heading
the City Council is president of the
Office and Professional Workers
Union; Ben Gold of the fur workers,
an admitted Communist Party men,
ber; Joseph Selly, president of the
American Communications Associa-
ton: Morris Pizer, president of the
furniture workers, and Robert Vein
stein of the United Public Workers.
Effective Immediately.
CIO officials said four members
abstained from voting: Albert j.
Fitzgerald, president of the United
Electrical Workers; julius Emspak,
secretary treasurer of the same
union; Donald Henderson, president
of the Food and Tobacco Workers,
and Bill Lawrence. who represented
Harry Bridges, CIO longshoremen's s
president. unable to get here from
San Francisco.
Three members were not present
at the meeting and had no repre-
sentative there. They were Mike
Quill of the transport workers. Hugh
Bryson of the marine cooks, and
Samuel J. Hogan of the marine en-
gineers.
The boards decision takes effect
Immediately. Mr.. Mills has already
arranged to meet with Mr.. Hol-
lander to transfer the records and
property.
Long Report Approved.
In taking action, the board ap-
proved a long report by a three
man committee which had held
hearing in Washington last month
The board found:
That the Council "does not req
resent and is not capable of serv-
ing the CIO membership in t,e
greater New York area"
That the council has brought
discredit upon the national CIO by
the slayish adherence of the council
to the line and dictates of the Com
muniSt Party;
! That the council has f1agrantly
disregarded and acted contrary to
CIO policy, to the CIO constitution,
and to the CIO rules for industrial
union councils"
Offcials of the council stirred up
CIO wrath when they failed to re-
ject Henry Wallace's third party and
neglected to endorse the Marshall
Plan of aiding European countries
The case is nationally important
because it is major test in the con-
tinuing warfare between the right
and left wings of the CIO.

COWS TONGUE CACTUS.
By LjlIion Cox Athey

If you would wear a most un-
usual collar of fairy lace, find your
self a cows tongue pad that has
fallen to the ground and the flesh
and skin rotted away. The lace" is
exquisite and ivory -colored. The
length and shape Of the pads is the
reason for the common name. Some
of the pads grow to a length of 4
feet with a width of inches.
Though the cows tongue is ma
tive of Southern Texas, where the
are very mild, it can stand
cold weather and is therefore a
favorite in cultivated cactus gar
denS.
1t was unknown until 40 years
ago when David Griffiths discovered
this weird cactus growing in small
numbers in the vicinity of San An
tonic, Tex. AS far as Is known the
cows tongue or Opuntia lingui-
formis is not found elsewhere in
the world.
Very few flowers are produced and
those that do appear are large and
lovely. The petals are bright yellow
and the flowers center a brilliant
orange. With such colors the plant
easily flags her important insect
partners. Birds are seen visiting the
open blossom, but whether to sip
the nectar or to find insects is
something as yet undetermined.
Fruit rarely natures, but Is a
rich, reddish-purple. The cows
tongue does not depend wholly or
seed children to carry on family
traditions. Her pads, or tongues
once on the ground, take root. In
rich soil, where water is abundant
the cactus grows rapidly into q
bushy plant. With its natural array
of spines, the cows tongue Is a
formidable bush,
