BruziIiun CuttIemen
Try Growing Wheat
BY the Assoeioisd Press

TUCUMAN, Argentina.-Brazilia
cattlemen are turning to wheat
growing to flll their country's need
for bread. A California scientist,
Dr.. r. Merton Love of the Univer-
sity of California, is helping the
program. He is on loan to the ex-
pertinent station at Porto Allegro.
DR.. Love, here for the South
American Botanical Congress, ex-
planned that meat Is cheap all
through the State of Rio Grande
do Sui, where Porto Allegro is located.
Wheat, on the other hand. is ex-
.pensive because Brazil has to import
part of its needs. The government
has a guaranteed price for Brazil
ian-grown wheat, which makes it a
profitable crop. DR.. Love said at
least five of the large cattle raisers
have planted a few hundred acres
of wheat experimentally this year.
Wheat in this area is harvested in
October, which is the equivalent OF
April in the Northern Hemisphere.
DR.. Love is giving technical advice
in the development of both wheat
and grasses for animal feed.

ia Clio Unions Protest
Right Wing Effort 10
Dust New York Group
By the kssocioted Press

NEW YORK, June 25.-Leaders of
IA CIO unions have taken stand
against efforts of right-wing CIO
groups to have the charter Of the
Greater New York CIO Council
Withdrawn.
They sent a barrage of protest
kilograms yesterday to Louis Hol-
lander, State CIO president, who
has led the drive to replace the left
wing council with new regional
CIO organization.
Aaron Schneider, regional direc-
tor of the United Office and Pro-
fessional Workers Union, wired Mr..
Hollander asking that your office
cease it's unauthorized meddling in
the affairs of the unions of New
York City"
Charges Effort at Division.
Your office is doing everything
possible" Mr.. Schneider said, ito
create division and diversion among
CIO members when their protection
demands the firmest unity on the
economic front"
Milton Finn, secretary of Local
259 of the United Automobile Work
ers, told Mr.. Hollander he was per-
forming a great disservice to the
working people throughout the
country"
Miss Ruth Young. executive Sec
retary of the United Electrical
Workers, District 4, told MIR. Hol-
lander his actions will only serve
to split and thereby weaken the
working people of this city in their
fight to maintain and extend their
conditions"
IL Unions Have Withdrawn.
Mr.. Hollandef, who was out OF
town yesterday, announced Wednes-
day that 13 right-wing CIO unions
and "all others subscribing to the
policies of the national CIO" would
meet July or to make plans for
forming a new regional organiza-
ton.
Eleven unions Withdrew from the
city CIO council Wednesday, fol-
lowing similar action by several
other groups which are seeking to
join activities under the State C1O
Political Action Committee.
A major cause of the rift has been
the councils refusal to follow ma
tiona1 CIO policy of opposing Henry
A. Wallace's presidential bid and
supporting the Marshall Plan.
