into active service, and was de-
tailed as assistant adjutant gen.
eral of the 9th Army Corps, at

He lives at 315 South Ivy street,
Arlington.
Appointment of the new Guard
commander had been expected for
months. Difficulties arose last fall
when Gen. Cox was away and
subordinates began quarreling over
who should be acting chief in his
absence. Court-martial proceed
ings were threatened by the rival
candidates.
The Guard was directly under
command of the President, and
should there be an occasion for
a court-martial. Mr.. Truman would
have had to convene it.
Apparently the White House
did not want to become embroiled
In such a situation and Mr.. Tru-
man therefore delegated to the
Defense Secretary his RESPONSE
bility over District Guard forces.
This responsibility was IN turn
delegated bN the late Secretary OF

A big mild-mannered man who
loves salmon fishing had a lot to
do with preventing a crippling
steel strike yesterday.
Cyrus S. Ching. head Of the
Federal Mediation Cancellation
Service and one-time director OF
industrial relations for United
States Rubber Co.. refused to give
up until he had won an agreement
from a reluctant steel industry to
go along with the White House
peace plan.
Mr.. Ching, grinning, pipe
smoking man who stands 6 foot 7
inches in his big shoes, got up
very early yesterday. Although
he's 70 years old, he turned an
amazing lot of steam on to per-
suade Benjamin F, Fairless, head
of United States Steel Corp, and
others to bow to President Tru-
mans peace formula.
After United States Steel. the
leader of the steel industry, made
what some thought was its final
rejection of the plan. Mr.. Ching

6,563 Red Agents Admitted.
The Attorney General was asked
how many Communists or Com

United States in the last five years
as employees of. foreign govern
ments or internal tional organiza-
tions.

the five years ended June 80, 1913
is 6.563.
He added that 5,725 of these en-
tered as diplomatic or other OFF,
cial representatives of their gov
ernments and 838 as employees OF
the United Nations.
The total. he explained, covers
the number Of admissions, not

same person may have made sew

try on the same visa.
Issuance of yisas to such persons
is handled by the State Depart

under present law his department
has no authority to exclude them
Certain Aliens Excluded.
But he told the Senators that
he can and has successfully
made representations to the State

Of certain aliens.

of the Army as far as ground units
were concerned and to the Air
Force Secretary in connection
with the air units.
| At the same time Mr.. Forrestal
asked Kenneth Royal. then Army
Secretary. to recommend to him
name to send to Mr.. Truman
| for appointment as successor to
Gen. Cox.
I Mr.. Royal named board con-
sisting of Maj. Gen. Leo M. Kreber,
commander of the 37th National

Army and Brig. Gen. John Nc
Connell of the Air Force to select
a qualified man. Their directive
confined the choice to National
Guard colonel who resided in the
Washington area and who was
not now in active service.
The board met and reported the
same day. 1t is understood they
recommended Col. Leroy S. Mann,
commander of the 260th Coast
Artillery here. The other active
candidate for the job was Col.
Abendroth who was ruled out at
that time because he is now on
active duty at the Pentagon.
Later this directive was changed
and Col. Abendroth was selected
The exact status OF the boards
report had been something of a
mystery for several months. al
though Mr.. Forrestals order had
mot set any deadline for the action
He had merely stated that the
Army Secretary should recommend
the new commander "at such time
as may be appropriate"
Mr.. Forrestal also had asked
the Army to recommend an ad-
jutant general of the District units
but as far as could be learned NO
action has been taken on this.

partments will use the National

Gen. Kenneth F. Cramer, as a

JAW Turns 10 Threat
OF Ford Strike With
10-MiIIion Fund Voted
BY the kssoeiotsd Press

MILWAUKEE,. Wis. July 16.-
The C1O-United Auto Workers
carried a big financial stick today
as they turned from convention
proceedings to a threatened Ford
strike.
Union representatives Of l06. 900
Ford workers gathered in the wake
of the unions 18th convention,
which forged the powerful $40 0,0o0,-
600 strike weapon shortly before
adjourning last night.
The Ford representatives, most
of them convention delegates. went
over final bargaining strategy in
a secret session. What effect the
easing of a threat of the steel
strike had on that strategy was
not known. The prevailing belief
here, however. seemed to be that
the 60-day strike postponement
made q Ford strike more likely.
The theory behind this belief is
that the UAW in the past has not
held its hand for long after a
major contract expires. The
FORD-UAW pact would have
expired last midnight except for
the first day-to-day extension
previously agreed on.
Industry Wide Pattern.
Presumably the auto workers
would have been willing to con-
tinue such extensions for UP to
two weeks If fellow steelworkers
were striking to lead the pension
and wage drive this year. But it's
doubtful they would hold off for
two months if Ford does not meet
their demands.
The UAW has been counting on
setting an industry-wide pattern
at Ford on the unions program of
s100-a-month pensions. health
and welfare plans and fourth
round wage increases. Negotia-
tions, under way since June 2, re-
sumo Monday in Detroit. Little
progress has been reported so far.
A strike vote among locals car
ried by I'll margin, according to
union leaders.
Ford convention delegates, some
of whom finished a 24-day strike
only six weeks ago over charges of
a speedup. asked for no limit on
the amount of money which could
be raised through the new ma
chinery.
Day Spent on Grievance.
They were overruled. But still
the UAW Executive Board will be
able to assess all working members
81 week for a maximum of 12I
weeks in the event of a strike
involving $4,000 or more members.
This would apply to Ford or the
othe companies in the industry s
Big Three'-General Motors and
Chrysler.
Much of the conventions final
day was spent on grievances.
The one that brought the hottest
arguments was the expulsion of
two well-known Detroit unionists
former President Tracy M. Doll
and, former Secretary Treasurer
Sam Sage of the Wayne County
(Mich) CIO Council.
BY about a 3 to 2 majority
delegates decided that publication
of scurrilous anti-union pamph-
let by Doll and Sage justified their
custer. The two argued that the
conventions action was illegal and
that the pamphlet was a jazzed-
up report of a 1916 convention
eommitte that had been suppressed
by UAW President Walter
Reuther. The latter called 1t

month in this category were re-
ferred to Washington by consuls
who were in doubt as to whether
the individual should be given a
visa.
In these instances, the Visa
Division often asked advice. of the
State Department political officer
for the nation involved before in
structing the consul, he explained.
Mr.. LHeureux said there had
been approximately 10 cases over
the past five years in which the
Visa Division had taken cases to
higher echelons" because it still
believed a visa should be denied
even after a political officer had
recommended issuance. He said
all such applicants ultimately
were issued visas. apparently be-
cause policy officers decided diplo-
matte factors outweighed the de-
.rogatory information.
Names Not Revealed.
Admiral Hillenkoetter reported
on 100 persons granted visas in
connection with official assign
ments. 1t was explained the 100
names, which were not revealed
at the hearing, were selected at
random from information in the
subcommittee file.
Based on reports of their activ-
tiles before coming here. he stated.
of the 100 persons selected for the
spot check:
/. Thirty-two 'reportedly or
allegedly have been engaged in the
active work for the intelligence
services of their respective coun-
tries" other than in the United
States.
2. Twenty nine are high-rank-
ing Communist Party officials
about whom 1T must be assumed
that by virtue of their positions
they are working ardently for the
benefit of their governments
3. Twent-one "reportedly or al
legedly have been engaged in &C
tive Communist organizational
work Of an underground or sub
yersiye nature outside their home
land"

4. No pertinent data was avail
able on Is.
S. Three "reportedly show def
mite pro-American sympathies'
and/or disaffection with Commu-
mist ideology."

his department currently is max
ing Espionage and intelligence
investigations" of approximately
685 aliens. OF these. he added, 4
per cent involve persons attached
to the United Nations. That
would be ~ or % individuals.
He said this does not imply that
these persons "are actively en-
gagged in espionage or intelligence
work. but merely that available
information requires these inves-
legations"

AS reported to the Senate the
bill included these features:
Authority for the Navy to spend
Sis, 100000 in reconstructing and
undermining two wartime aircraft
carriers as we'll as a number OF
destroyers and other combat ships
Secretary johnson agreed to this
after he bluntly halted construc-
ton of the 65.000-ton super air
craft carrier which the Navy had
started.
Authority to the Navy for use OF
| $40, ,000, 900 to equip its anti-sub-
marine aircraft and ships with the
latest type of detection devices
Navy officials said these should
be able to track down Russia's
long-range. new-type summaries
Authority to use $50. 100000. OF
which $33 10000 would be cash
for first year construction Of
"radar fence" around this conti-
nent to detect APPROACH of possible
hostile aircraft. This previously
was authorized by Congress but nc
funds had been provided.
Authority for all armed services
to drop the one-year enlistment
plan for volunteers authorized by
postwar Selective Service Act
Under this, youths subject to the
draft could avoid induction by
volunteering for one year and then
serving in an active Reserve. Navy
and Air Force officials said they
got little good from the trainees
because few of them stayed be-
yond the year and none could be
sent overseas. Senator Thomas
estimated this would save $780,
100000.
