loyalty to ito stay out of jail.
But the bishops told the priests
to make there reservations:
In swearing allegiance to the

taking the oath to support the
creative effort aiming at the well
fare of the Czech and Slovak
people," priests are to add the
words: "Unless it is in contradic-

church and the rights of man"
Church Rights Held Violated.
In taking salaries from the
government, priests are to declare
they do so without assuming ANY
obligations which would violate my
conscience as a priest nor the
church laws"
The Catholic bishops stated they
regretted the recent enactment of
the governments church control
law as a violation of church
rights.
But the bishops added they were
allowing the priests to comply with
the law because they would other

Truman Has No Plans to

Cyrus S. Ching, Federal media

House today on the steel and soft
coal strike stalemates. The prob
lem of what to do about the basic
industry shutdowns thus was laid
on the doorstep. of President Tru-
man.
Mr.. Ching, just returned from
fruitless talks with steel industry
executives in New York. spent IS
minutes giving a fill-in on the
strike situation to John r. Steel
man. presidential assistant. A
White House spokesman said
President Truman still has no
immediate plans to intervene in
the strikes.
The decision as to what steps to
take next toward settling the
walkouts now is up to the Pres
ident and Mr.. Steelman. It was
apparent that neither manage
ment nor labor in either dispute
had yielded an inch from their
positions.
Could Tell Ching to Try Again.
The President could instruct
Mr.. Ching to try again to bring
the disputants together or he
could step directly into the con-
troversies himself. In the case
of the steel dispute, it appeared
that Mr.. Ching had tried without
avail nearly every avenue to
peace.
Mr.. Truman could invoke ma
tional emergency provisions Of
the Taft-Hartley Act with its
strike-delaying court injunctions,
or he might decide on personal
appeal for peace backed up by in
vitations to settlement confer
ences at the White House. He
was represented as being reluc-
tant to use Taft-Hartley for sew
eral reasons In the case of coal,
since the injunction has an 30
day limit, Taft Hartley procedures
could project the shutdown into
the winter when need for coal is
greatest.
CIO President Philip Murray,
who also heads the striking United
Steelworkers, was quick to strike
back at the hint of use of Taft
Hartley. A political ally OF Mr..
Truman's. the union leader said

Clio Decision Sought

Leftist-Led Members
Union Issue Confused by
Murroy's Fight to End
25-Doy-OId Steel Strike
BY the Assoeioted Press

CLEVELAND, Oct. 25.-The
CIO Executive Board met today
to decide whether the CIO delib-
erately is to rid itself of 1000, 900
members under left-wing union
leadership.
The answer almost certainly
would be an anxious "no"-if
there is any way to WOO left-wing
followers away from the rebellious
forces.
The CIO has a maximum of
{, 100000 members, and President
Philip Murray indicated he wants
to keep as many of those under
his banner as possible.
But the so-called left-wing
movement, spearheaded by team
Iof resourceful leaders in the
United Electrical Workers and by
Harry Bridges of the International
Longshoremen's and Warehouse
mems Union. was expected to put
up serious challenge.
Murray Seeks Strike Peace.
Mr.. Murray's involvement in
the strike of $4,000 steelworkers
muddied the left-right war which
has plagued the CIO for months.
The once clear-cut lines be-
tween the left-wing and anti
Communist right-wing forces in
the CIO were somewhat confused
by Mr.. Murray's pressing desire
for a settlement in the 25-day-old
steel strike.
The UE Executive Board in New
