found yesterday on the west slope

The American Association of
University Professors upheld to-
DAY the right of teachers to be-
long to the Communist Party.
It did so in the face of a Ma
tional Education Association rec
ommendation last week that Com
munists be barred from the teach
ing profession.
so long as the Communist
Party is a legal political party,
affiliation with it should not be
regarded as a justifiable reason
for exclusion from the academic
profession, the professors state
ment said. This reaffirmed stands
taken in 1947 and 1948.

.ECA Funds Cut
1917 %bySenator!
Committee Approves
81 Billion; Figure
Is Above House Total
By the Associcted Press

The Senate Appropriations
Committee has approved 10 per
cent cut IN funds for the Euro
pean Recovery Program.
Senator Bridges. Republican, Of
New Hampshire, reported this
action after the committee spent
only two hours in reaching an
agreement. He said the group
agreed to s3,778, 100000 to finance
continued Marshall Plan opera
tions.
The approved cut totaled s42O.-
100000, which will come from the
Economic Cooperation Admins
tration's proposed budget for re-
covery operations during the fiscal
year which started July l.
ECA Chief Paul Hoffman had
requested s4,198, 100000 for the
second year recovery program
The House cut this figure to S.
568 .470, 900 but permitted that
ECA to spend the money in 10 p
months if necessary.
Figure Is Compromise.
The Senate figure represented
a compromise between those who
favored the full ECA program
and economy advocates who
wanted to cut up to s740,000,000
of the program.
The committe also agreed to a
$500, ,000, 900 program this year for
government and relief in the oc-
cupied areas of Germany. Aus
tria, Japan and the Ryuku Islands.
This was a cut of s25, 900. 900 be-
low the House-approved figure
and s75.000.000 less than the
Arm, had asked.
The 20-member committee was
called into a closed session by
Chairman McKellar. In a lengthy
public feud with Mr.. Hoffman
Senator McKellar had talked OF
cuts of as much as 100000, 900
from ECA funds and, at times,
suggested that Mr.. Hoffman re-
sign.
The foreign aid bill carried
about 100000 as it came
from the House. This included
S4,642,470,000 to continue the
Marshall Plan aid for European
nations, of which $3,568.470,00
could be spent in the fiscal year
that began July l. The balance
was to finance ECA operations
for the April-June quarter just
passed.

Clark Attacks Contro
OF Business by Few
As Hearing Begins
Tells Subcommittee Of
Need TO Limit Power
In Nations Economy
By the Associated Press

Attorney General Clark toda.
attacked concentration of eco
nomic power in the hands of ,
few. He limited that busines
"bigness" might in itself be
target of monopoly suspicion.
Mr.. Clark was the first witness
before a House Judiciary Sub
committee which began three
weeks preliminary investigation
of the growth of monopoly in the
United States.
While saying that "bigness ir
itself may pot be unlawful" Mr.
Clark argued at length for the
idea of limiting powers in the
business and political life OF the
Nation.
He suggested the committee
might begin its investigation with
a study of the growth of economic
concentration during the war, and
the drift of labor from small to
large corporations.
Lists Erroneous" Assumptions.
The wartime economy, he said
played into the hands of the big
corpora tons 50 that control OF
industry usually rests in the hands
of three or four large companies. .
The Attorney General outlined
what he called three commonly
held erroneous" assumptions. He
named them as:
First, it is too often assumed
that competition continues tc
thrive as long as there are at
least two or three or four in the
field. AS I have indicated. in my
opinion, this is not so.
Secondly, it is assumed that
the bigger the producer the better
the quality of goods and the
cheaper the price to the public.
Thirdly. it is assumed that
companies become big because
they deserve to be big-in other
words, that they outdistance their
competitors because they do a
better job, render greater service
or furnish better goods.
Freedom Called Basic Issue.
1T may be that in some in
stances these assumptions are
correct. Personally. doubt if this
is often true"
Mr.. Clark told the committee
he felt that the Fundamental
issue Is whether the economy OF
this country is to remain free and
competitive or whether it is to be
subjected to private regimentation
through monopoly control"
The House group earlier received
a formal nod from President
Truman on its inquiry into the
monopoly picture.
In a letter Saturday to Chair
man Celler the President said he
is Fundamentally in favor" of

But CunfiI KEEPS Marshal Post

The White House offered no ex-
planation for the withdrawal other
than that it was prompted by the
delay of the committee in acting.
The withdrawal, however, would
serve to avoid any fight on the
appointment.
Mr.. Canfil first was named mar
shall in January. 1914, in the
Roosevelt administration. His
term ordinarily would have ex-
pired in January a year ago. but
he was continued in Office and it
was not until this January that
the nomination was forwarded.

King ProcIainns
Emergency on
London Docks
Acts After Strikers
Defy Work Call by
Labor Government
By the Associoted Press

LONDON. July IL. - King
George vi proclaimed a state of
emergency today to deal with
Gripping strike ON the London
docks
The King acted on the recon-
mendation of the cabinet after
wildcat dock strikers defed
back to- work call by the Labor
Government.
A mass meeting of 5000 dockers
had voted earlier to continue
their stoppage.
1t was the first time the British
had invoked the 1920
Emergency Act since the general
strike of 1926. Under the act,
the government is empowered to
draft civilians-but not strikers
for work on the docks, may con-
fer extraordinary powers on the
police and may commander
buildings for the use of troops.
The house voted to debate the
proclamation Wednesday.
Viscount Addison, Labor Party
leader in the House of Lords, an
nounced the Cabinet decision at
the start of the afternoon session
of Parliament.
10000 Not Working.
Labor Minister George Isaacs
told the House of Commons 1922
men of a total dock force Of 25.-
900 still are idle, despite govern
ment denunciation of the strike
as illegal and Communicated and
despite the appeals of leaders of
the two unions involved for an
end to the stoppage.
Mr.. Isaacs said 112 ships are
idle and the stevedore crews OF
six ships are undermined. The
number of men at work is about
$4,000, he said.
Not only is the strike holding up
urgently needed imports. but
cargoes vital in the nations drive
to balance it's international trade
have been piling up in the two
weeks of the strike. This is par
ticularly embarrassing to the Gov
ernment now, in the light OF the
current dollar crisis.
Within minutes after the an
nouncement of the proclamation,
$1,000 soldiers, sent into the area
last week to unload perishable
foods, moved into the docks.
Denounced by Government.
This supported a prediction by
London newspapers that the gov
ernment intended to put the emer-
gency rules into effect immedi-
ately, without waiting formal sp-
proval by Parliament.
The cabinet had warned the
strikers last week 1t would take
emergency action if the men
were not back at work by today.
The dispute began over the
refusal of dockers to handle
cargo from two Canadian ships
whose crews are on strike. The
government insisted the cargoes
should be handled, but the stop
page spread. Prime Minister
Attlee denounced the stoppage in
a speech July 3 as part of the
"wrecking tactics" of the Com
munists.
Attorney General Sir Hartley
Shawcross has described the dock
strike as economic and political
treason" and declared the men
were betraying their own Labor
Party.
