Greece Makes Ready
For Civil Mobilization
By the Associotsd py.s.

ATHENS. Mar. 1S.-The Greek
government took its first step today
toward civilian mobilization with a
measure giving cabinet ministers
full power to take emergency action.
Premier Themistokles Sophoulis
signed a proclamation of civil
mobilization last night, empowering
cabinet ministers to act. The de-
eision was based on a compulsory
law passed in 1899 and amended
last year.
The new order specifically in
structs the ministries of hygiene
and welfare to take immediate care
OF destitute families of men in the
armed forces. Physicians will be
required to provide care without
charge, and druggists must furnish
medicine free, or at. cost.
Well-to-do families may make
private donations, and philanthropy
ic organizations and unions also
are: ordered to aid needy families.
Under authority of the procla-
nation ministers of the cabinet
can mobilize all employees. This
phase was regarded by some as
preventive against any strike by
civil servants, such as yesterdays
24-hour protest strike by some
civil servants.
Some observers say they think
the proclamation may be extended
to the civil administration, pub
lie utilities and other Sareas Of
Greek economy.

knufson Tax Cut Bill
Called a Fraud by
Textile Workers

The United Textile Workers of
America (AFL today characterized
as fraud" the tax reduction bill
passed recently by the House. The
bill was sponsored by Representa-
tive Knutson, Republican, of Min
nesota.
In a resolution adopted at its
10th biennial convention at the Ho-
tel Statler, the union called for
elimination of asserted inequities in
the current Federal taxation pro-
gram and declared the Knutson
proposal would shift the burden
of taxation from the shoulders of
the well-to-do to those less able
to bear it,
In other resolutions, the conven-
ton urged prompt approval of the
European Recovery Program and
indorsed the st. Lawrence Seaway
project.
The action on taxes included a
plea for an end to exercise levies
on transportation, telephone calls,
theater admissions, electric light
bulbs and women's handbags.
No opposition was heard to the
ERP and tax resolutions, but a
scattering Of delegates objected to
the seaway Endorsement.
After a spirited debate, the dele
gates passed a resolution urging ex-
tension of the Reciprocal Trade
Agreements Act Several spokesmen
for workers in the Lawrence Mass
area spoke in opposition, but the
vote was heavily in favor of the
resolution.
In its fourth day, the convention
heard addresses by Albert Phone
union attorney, and I. M. Ornburn,
secretary-treasurer of the AFL
Union Label Trades Department.
Meanwhile, the union is on record
for repeal of the Taft Hartley Act
and re-enactment of the National
Labor Relations Act as 1t existed
before passage of the present law.
A resolution to this effect was
passed by delegates at yesterdays
session.
AFL President William Green also
struck out at the act in an address
yesterday, but he appeared Con-
fident the AFL's new League for
Political Education would bring
about the defeat of many members
of Congress who voted for the bill.
Cyrus S. Ching, director of the
Federal Mediation and Cancellation
Service, called on both labor and
management to cooperate to keep
labor peace, in the light Of the
serious international situation. =
Delegates also passed resolutions
calling for an 1S-month extension
