No Room for Communists
 Declares MurrdY-Dele- qates BoIt Convention

CLEVELAND, Nov. 2-IR-The CIO convention today expelled the United Electrical Workers, largest of it's so-called left wing unions.
 The action came on resolution sponsored by Walter P. Reuther and after an impassioned speech by CIO President Philip Murray, who shouted:
 There is no room within the CIO for Communists"
 Murray traced his efforts of the past two years to reconcile the U.E. leaders to discard the Com munist party line. which he said they followed, and adopt the CIO policy.
 The move was opposed by Harry Bridges, West Coast Longshoreman, Abram Flaxer, of the United Pub lie Workers, and Pietro Lucchi, Secretary Treasurer of the Fur and Leather Workers. All three claimed that U,E. was being dumped without a hearing.
 But Murray insisted that "U.E. has been given it's trial"
 The U.E. delegates bolted the convention yesterday.
 Murray said They ran like skulking towards and after they did run, they left these apostles of hate behind to defend them"
 The three unions represented by Bridges, Flaxer and Lucchi also are threatened with removal, pos sibly before the end of the con- vention.

The w ashington MerrY:-Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

,copvrignt, is49. by Bell Syndicate. Incl WASHINGTON-As the debris of the s1st Congress is swept away and as relieved bureaucrats get hack to work with no Senators breathing down their necks, it can be truthfuly said that Congress has accomplished far more than veteran capital observers ever dreamed possible.
 In fact, the recent session prob ably passed more of MT. Truman's Fair Deal program than FDR's Congress passed of the New Deal program, with the exception of his first four years in office.
 Chief blot on the 81st Congress was that it failed to pass an old age pension social-security bill at a time when such passage could have helped settle the coal and steel strikes; and that it failed to pass aid-to- o-education at time when the schools were desperat- ely in need of help.
 The fact that Congress failed to do this and begged down toward

SHERMAN TAKES OATH

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2-lR-- Admiral Forrest P. Sherman took the oath today as Chief of Naval Operations in a move intended to bring harmony into the feqding armed forces.
 As he pledged himself in husky voice to defend his country against all enemies. foreign and domestic, Sherman said he knows he can count on the support of the Ad- mirals and the Navy in meeting his great responsibilities.
 Beside him as he spoke stood Admiral Louis E. Denfeld, who was rooted out to make way for the elevation of Sherman to the highest office in the Navy's uniformed services.
 Denfeld managed a broad smile as Sherman finished taking the oath and making a little speech. He showed out hand and wished Sherman good luck
 Secretary of the Navy Matthews had offered Denfeld a step-down to the command of Eastern Allan tic and Mediterranean forces with headquarters in London. Whether Denfeld would accept was uncer- tain.

Truman Says Sherman Gets

Youngest Chief in History Bitterness Over 0ust-
 CT Still Exists

WASHINGTON. Nov. 2-tR-A shake-up springing from the mill tary policy row and aiming at har- mony in the high command put Vice Admiral Forrest P Sherman in as top officer of the Navy today
 It was too early to tell whether the replacement by sherman of the busted Admiral Louis E. Denfeld would bring a smooth and easy teamwork to the top level job oi working out the strategy for war.
 Sherman and Denfeld met for Is minutes early this afternoon with Secretary of Navy Matthews at the Pentagon.
 Presumably, Matthews called in Denfeld to notify him formally of his removal as Chief of Naval Operations Aides said he had not been told officially he was out. He had reported as usual at his old office today.
 GOOD FRIENDS
 He and Sherman left Matthews office, smiling and cha chum- fly. They went dow. me hall, en- tered the office marked Chief of Naval Operatkns" and shut the door.
 It wasn't unal late yesterday that the White House announced Presi- dent Truman had tapped sherman to become. at 53. the youngest Chief of Naval Operations in his- tory And the formal commission ing was held over until today.
 But Sherman was one of the original architects for the armed services unification plan. And he told reporters after his new ap- rointment came through:
 He still is 100 percent for uni fication, expects no difficulty in getting along with other members of the policy-making joint Chiefs of Staff and is sure the Navy will give me the support and loyalty they have given all my predeces- sors."
 BITTERNESS EXISTS
 Yet within the Navy and Con- gress there still is certain bit terness over the busting of Den feld and over the way the whole defense set up is working.
 Denfeld was given the boot after summing up Navy complaints when the House Armed Services commit tee gave them an airing. The Navy, he said, doesn't have a full part nership" in defense planning.
 And before the denials were re- corded by Secretary of Defense Johnson and the top men of the Army and Air Force, other top Admirals stood up and were counted on Denfelds side
 Now Sherman is vaulting over the heads of all of them, and over some Vice Admirals with longer service.

 Iations Now Asked

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2--tR-The fighter plane -airliner collision that plummeted 55 men. women and children to death near the Wash ington airport yesterday brought insistent demands from Congress members today for tighter regula- tions on military planes flying in commercial air lanes.
 Spadework for formal government hearings went ahead even while boatmen still grappled in the muddy waters Of the Potomac river for the bodies of victims in civilian aviation's worst tragedy.
 Working through the night under noodlights, the boatmen had re- covered 46 bodies by noon today.

 PLANE CUT IN TWO
 The Eastern Air Lines DC-4, carrying 5l passengers and a crew of four, was cut in two when the Bolivian P-38 fighter plane ram med it 300 feet in the air just before noon yesterday. The tail section fell at the rivers edge. The forepart landed in deep water.
 Both planes were coming in for a landing at the airport. The con- trol tower franttcally called for the P-38 to circle off, but the pilot save no sign of hearing those ad.oed instructions.

COLLEGE
 FOOTBALL,
 FAR WEST
(BY ASSOCIATED pRESS)

LEY ASSOClAIED PRESS)
 College football in the Far West reaches the midseason mark this weekend with three teams still un- defeated in the big championship chase
 The Coast Conference title fight, with the Rose Bowl nomination as the postseason prize, now looms among Southern California, Call ifornia and the University of Cal ifornia at Los Angeles. These three have unmarred league records.
 One of the favorites may tumble out of contention Saturday. South ern California's Trojans and Cal ifornia's Bears come to grips at Berkeley.
 The UCLA Bruins play outside the circuit this week, meeting Santa Clara.
 Odds makers rate the USC-Calif- ornia battle as strictly tossup. Unbeaten California returns from a sortie to the Midwest where it outscored Wisconsin, 35-20. The Bears put together 47 and 65 yard touchdown drives in the third period to build up substantial lead.
 Southern California played a speedy and favored Ohio State club to a 1913 tie.
 Stanford and Washington, beaten in their initial Conference starts last week, will try to beat their way back into contenders' roles Saturday at Seattle. Stanford bowed TIA to UCLA and favored Washington came out on the short end of 7-3 score with Oregon State.
 Oregon, after walloping Wash ington States. 21-J, entertains Col orado. It figures to beat the Rocky Mountain entry Washington State will rate the favorite's spot over Idaho, idle last week.

 ENR0UTE TO 5ITkA

Mrs. Lucy Fonda, widow of w. c.

 In 1909 Fonda went outside to the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposi- ton, returning to Alaska in 1914 to help build the Alaska Railroad, working as head rigger and paint CT for five years.
 Fonda died in Seattle August 3l, 1888 at 80. He was followed eight years later by the artist for whom he modelled "The Prospector."
