NEW YORK. Mar. 26.-Frank-

The fact that the late Presi-

But Mr.. Roosevelt. who has
Liberal Party backing as . pos

wants to get the Democratic NOM

So next week he will move from

trict. The State constitution does
not require a Congressman to live

American officials say the

First Shift in Border.
The slicing off of 81 small
pieces Of Germany and attaching
them to Germany's neighbors was
the first shifting of the German
Western boundaries aside from
establishing of Saar autonomy.
It was agreed to by the United
States, France, Britain, the
Netherlands. Belgium and Luxen-
bourg in Paris conference.
Reports from Europe said the
Germans reacted bitterly. Some
German leaders denounced any
tampering with the Western Dor.

law and violation of the Atlantic
Charter.
The Western powers had long

Labor Won Election,
May lose Congress,
Clio Editorial Says
By the AssoeiotS.. Press

A major CIO union, the Tex
tile Workers. said yesterday that
American labor won the election
but we're on the verge of losing
the Congress"
A news story in the union s
newspaper, textile Labor" says
the Truman program lis COM
pletely begged down" and then
declares:
Unless stronger and more
effective leadership is somehow
developed-either by the Demo-
Gratis themselves or by a coalition
of liberal and labor forces-the
Presidents Fair Deal is doomed
to defeat"
The story says that is the unan-
imous opinion of the unions gen.
eral counsel, Isadore KATE; its
Washington representative, John
Edelman, and its political action
director, Alexander Barkan.
The editorial says Congress has
not passed q single major bill
committees have moved at a
"snails pace" and-"most dis
couraging of all, the Senate be-
came entangled in a filibuster over
the right to filibuster, and the re-
dictionaries won it."
The editorial continued:
The way is now open for q new
coalition of old guard Republicans
and Southern Democrats to rule
the Senate, just as similar coal
itions have done since 1899. This
would mean no liberal legislation
of any kind, with the possible ex-
ception of q few unimportant
measures tossed out like coins to
q Roman mob. Especially it would
mean no real change in the Taft
Hartley Act.
The next week or two will tell
the story. In all honesty, the re-
dictionaries are odds-on favorites
to win. There is only one consol-
ation-Tom Dewey was an odds-on
favorite. too"

was at a record high when Mr..
Lewis ordered the tWo-Week lay
off, indicating a sharp drop in
the demand for coal.
And the stoppage will cost the
welfare fund about 100000
more.
Uncertainty over whether the
fund is subject to Federal taxes
and signs that delinquency-fail-
ure of operators to meet the
20-cent-per-ton payments-is on
the increase are additional causes
of concern.
Fund trustees so far have not
received ruling from the Internal
Revenue Bureau on the tax ques-
ton. In settling an argument
over use OF the fund last June,
Judge T. Alan Goldsborough Of
District Court ruled that it was a
charitable" trust. But 1t was
pointed out that corporations are
allowed to deduct for charity a
maximum of per cent of net
income. In most instances the
20 cents welfare payment prob
ably would be considerably more
than the S per cent.
Recovery Suits Filed.
|. The operators say that should
considerations in their business
become worse, more and more OF
the owners would be unable to
meet the welfare payments.
Just how many of the operators
already are delinquent could not
be, determined. but the fund trust
ees recently instituted a number
of suits in the effort to recover
money due the fund.
One suit of size was filed last
month against a coal company at
Fort Smith, Ark. 1t was charged
| the operator owed over 100000
to the fund and had made no
welfare payments since 1947. An
other action sought to recover
more than $4,000" from coal
producer at Carmichael, Pa.

administrations where the Dor.
der may cut back and forth across
a road or railroad.
Even before the. transfers were
brought under negotiation, the
six Western nations agreed thai
the only changes which could be
made would be those involving no
"appreciable loss to the German
economy"
Major Claims Put OFF.
AS result, the Western Powers
still have not acted on and EVIL
IDENTIFY still are putting off until
some future peace settlement
what the announcement called
certain major territorial claims
of Germany's western neighbors. u
The greatest long-range impor-
lance of the border changes may
we'll lie in the contest between
Russia and the United States,
Britain and France over the future
of Germany and who is to control
it. Territorial changes always
arouse feelings of intense ma
tionalism and create issues for the
political campaigns of the future.
Russia sponsored the transfer
of thousands of square miles OF
East German lands to Poland at
the end of the war. Many author
tiles here consider that the situa-
ton thus created gives the Rus
slams a powerful political weapon.
For so long as they are assumed to
control the Polish government
they might at some critical point
make a powerful play for support
in Germany by moving to give all
or part of what is now Western
Poland back to some new German
state. q
West Moved Slowly.
Whereas the Russians acted
quickly for Polands benefit, as
we'll as for their own in taking a
large slice of East Prussia, the
Western powers moved very slowly
in making any change.
The United States, Britain and
France said such changes as they
favored could be arranged in con-
nection with the peace treaty.
The Poles, with evident Russian
support, have long contended that
the Eastern German boundary
may be confirmed but cannot in
any way be changed by a treaty
If one ever is written and signed.
In the West, the greatest
change to come about centered
around the Saar basin, a rich
mining area. After World War I.
it had been run by a League Of
Nations commission with the
French working the coal mines.
In 1885. after an overwhelming
pro-0erman vote, Hitler marched
into the Saar. But in the cleo
ton in October, 1947, the Saar
population voted overwhelmingly
to line up with France.
AS a result, a politically indie
pendent government was set up
over the area more than a year
ago but is subsidiary to French
economic and financial controls.
