Al Annual Confab
By the Associotsd Press

NEW YORK. Dec. 2.-The Anna.
teur Athletic Union opened its 6oth
annual convention today with more
than $50 Of the Nations sports lead
ers attending.
The four-day meeting is expected
to be a placid one devoid of fire.
works. No controversial issues are
on the agenda.
The last time the AAU met In
New York-1935-the group was al
most split by a heated debate over
whether the United States should
send representatives to the Nazi-
sponsored Berlin Olympics the next
year. Those favoring participation
won out.
The main items of business will be
the awarding of championship
tournaments in the IS sports under
AAU jurisdiction. consideration OF
record applications and election OF
officers.
James A. Rhodes. Mayor of Co
Mmbus, Ohio, is president OF the
organization.
He has a meeting scheduled at
noon with chairmen Of the 81 Ma
tional AAU committees. Then to-
morrow he will address the entire
assemblage and get the body down
to business.
The various committees will hold
separate meetings and prepare pro-
posals to be submitted to the gen.
eral business sessions Saturday and
Sunday.
The Executive and Foreign Rela-
tions Committees had get-togethers
scheduled tonight along with the
mems and women's joint swimming
body.
One of the important matters to
be discussed is the proposed ex-
change of athletic visits with other
countries.
AS the sports figures gathered,
there was speculation on who would
succeed Avery Brundage as presi-
dent Of the United States Olympic
Association If Brundage went
through with his announced deci-
sion to resign.
Brundage said just before the
Olympic Games In London this sum-
mer that he didn't want to retain
the office.
His present term expires in No
vember, 194e, when an election will
be held.
Rhodes. who is up for reelection
as AAU head, has been mentioned
as a possible successor.

Russia Wants "Arms Reduction To Keep Peace"
tBY Louis Nevin)

PARIS, (P - Russia proposed Saturday that the five major pow CTS reduce their armed forces by a third inside of one year.
 Accusing the United States, Bri- tain and France of trying to isolate Russia by means of military alli- ances, Soviet Deputy Foreign Min ister Andrei Y. Vinshinsky asked the United Nations general assem- bly, to set up an international con- trol body to supervise reduction of armaments of armed forces and prohibition or atomic weapons.
 Vishinsky said he proposed this resolution in order to strengthen the cause of peace and eliminate ''the threat of a new war fomented by expansionists and other reac- tionary elements" The expansion ists, he contended, all are west of the iron curtin.
 | ilStl V lSIllIlShy lIliSiiSl, V. S. chief delegate Warren R. Austin commented:
 "It's the same old stuff. He came with his speech all written out and just touched it up after hearing the dignified form of Gen. Mar shalls remarks"
 U. S. Secretary of State George C. Marshall two days ago told the assembly United States patience in international crises must not be in- terpreted as a sign of weakness Marshall sat poker-faced through Vishinsky's speech today.
 Sir Alexander Cadogan of Bri- tain, president of the security council, said Vishinsky covered all the old points. It was a coun- terattack on the points on which they have been the worst offend CTS"

Telephone Unions Want Third Round Of Wage Increases

WASHINGTON (P-Telephone unions Saturday opened nation wide program of parades and mass meetings to enlist public support in their drive for third round" wage increase.
 They backed that program with thinly-veiled strike threat.
 Leaders of rival unions repre- senting more than 350,000 work CTS agreed on the demonstrations instead of an immediate country wide telephone strike-as their present plan of joint action.
 Nevertheless, the union chiefs said that by October Is all of the scattered telephone organizations will be legally free under the Taft Hartley act to walk out if they find it necessary"
 While the unions have made no dollars and cents demand they are frankly striving for the l3-cent pattern of third-round postwar in- creases in other industries like steel, auto and coal.

l949 Income To Continue High

WASHINGTON, R)-Next year should be kind one for your poe ketbook, if a government predic- ton works out.
 Noting that personal incomes set a record this year, the bureau of agricultural economies reported that 1949 incomes should be just as high. And what's more, the bur eau foresaw a continued boom in employment.
 Meanwhile, the federal reserve board painted rosy picture of the nations farmers. Their buying power this year, said the reserve board, is more than twice what it was before the war.
 However, the agency added, "in- comes received by farmers who operate small acreages have been small, and it appears that sizeable number of these farmers have been taking industrial jobs"
 It estimated that 10 per cent fewer persons were working on farms at the end of 1947 than be- fore the war, while non-farm pop ulation has risen nearly 20 per cent since 1887.
 The bureau of agricultural eco , monies said personal incomes may slip toward the end of 1949, but that for the year as whole they will equal the l948 record.

THE SPECIAL SESSION OF CONGRESS
(British Information Services)

The editorial Monday, July 26 dealt with variety of topics and nearly all of them touch the United States The TIMES main editorial is the social session of Congress caed it says expressly to allow President Truman to defy the Republican majority who confi- dently expect to overthrow him in November In the view of the TIMES Mr. Truman must be credited with adopting vigorous tactics.
 'The Republican Party, in formulating their
 election program, have been careful to promise
 liberal policy MT. Truman regards this a raid on
 the Democrat clothing and is calling on his adver- saries to try on before the elections what he be- lieves will prove grotesque misft The session now opening is meant to be spectacular calling of bluff'
 The TIMES goes to estimate the damage to Mr. Trumans election chances through splits in his party notably the southern nomination of Governor Thur mond rival Presidential candidate and the entry of Mr. Henry Wallace into the campaign at the head of the new Progressive Party The TIMES says:
 "Mr. Wallace's poll in November can only weak the Democratic Party which he has left But it may be that his motive is to re-enter the party and remold it nearer to the hearts desire But the ques- tion is whose heart?"
 And here the Times gives summary of MT. Wal aces Russian sympathes and says they not likely to meet with the support of many voters.

INDIAN WOULD STOP INDIAN BUREAU

SOutnedSdern AlaSka.
 At an early age 1 was enrolled
 in the U. s. Indian school at Che mawa, Oregon. There I studied, among other things, printing. On becoming a journeyman printer, some years later. I became mem
 Der of the ITU and have been a member of that organization con-
 tinuously for 26 years.
 I have not received, nor do I
 want, any special privileges from the U s. since I left the Indian school. My tribe in Alaska has never been granted any special privileges. We, the Haidas, have no reservation. We vote and drink
 Whiskey over the bar in the man. her of the white man. We never have been a problem to the gov ernment. Our policy is: Throw away the blanket and the feath- CTS, devote our efforts to prog ress that we may take our own
 place beside the white man as free and independent citizens. Annette Island in Alaska, which is occupied exclusively by a neighboring tribe, bears some
 resemblance to an Indian reser- vation. It was set aside for use of the Tsimsians as compensation for previous exploitation and dis location. The Indians of Alaska
 were not privileged, in my time,
 to attend the public schools, but thank God we did have honest missionaries up there in those days who devoted the best part of their lives to teach us.
 My tribal headquarters in Fly daburg were established 40 years ago under the guidance of one Rev. Howe. He taught them and trained them in the way of his faith. The result is that today we have one of the finest communi- ties in Alaska, though in the be- ginning nothing larger than a canoe could land on the beach. In Hydaburg now there are theaterS, stores, saw mill, cannery, electric power plant and a wharf p receive cargoes of canned salmon and lumber-all owned by members of my tribe.
 Yes, we have beer joints in that : country, and jails. But we also have schools, churches and ele- gant homes, native teachers, na- tive ministers and native lawyers.
 If my tribe ever were called on to pitch pow WOW and wear re-
 galias like they did at Pine Ridge they would be out of luck. We embraced the white mans GUS toms so thoroughly just a gener-
 ation ago that we would have a hell of a time finding out how to act like Indians without the help of the propaganda committee of the Chamber of Commerce. 4 I know my people at home will be surprised to know that the Ogalala Sioux are still handing out war bonnets and trying to act like Indians instead of trying to learn to live and act like Ameri- can citizens.
