| in the fall of 1947 he urged the
Administration, with whom he
has always worked in close har-
mony, to approve the partition
plan.
How the indefatigable worker
helped swing votes of U. N. dele
gates toward the two-thirds ma
jority required for partition is a
favorite Washington story. The
vote of Gen. Carlos P. Romulo,
Philippine delegate, was crucial.
Rep. Bloom tried to reach him
but without success. Then he
found that the Philippine dele
gate was aboard the Queen Mary
at sea. It was a surprised gener-
al who received a radio-tele-
phone call from Sol Bloom in the
mid-Atlantic.
On May 10 he saw in sight the
fulfillment of his dream but
there was still the doubt of
American recognition of the ma
ton which was about to be pro-
claimed. So Sol Bloom had a
heart-to-heart talk with Presi-
dent Truman. Two days later
history was made when the
Presidents surprise announce
ment of recognition electrified
the world.
Zionism will not die if those
who really love Israel will con-
tinue working to make the Jew
ish national home an outstand-
ing home in the community of
nations, Sol Bloom said. He did
not answer when asked if he
wanted to visit Israel. But the
, CLEAN in his eyes gave him away.
Rep. Bloom would have OBJ
served his 10Th birthday last
week. It's listed in the books
as March 8 but he said with ty-
pical humor that he was born,
according to family records,

he did more than pray.
He almost literally raised the

1889, Great Britain restricted i'm

for a five-year period. His For

instrumental, during the course
of the Bermuda conference on
refugees, in the admission of 80,

In January, 1914, he strongly
supported the resolution that the
United States take appropriate
measures to the end that a Jew

The life of Sol Bloom was

to the lives of others through the
medium of show business. His
ingenuity was credited with saw
ing the Chicago Exposition of
1893 from financial collapse. That
ingenuity, coupled with honesty
and determination, had aided
him to become a great American
and to make America greater be-

NEW YORK, July FL. (ANP)
The recent Mexican divorce OBJ
tanned by Mrs. Walter White from
her famous husband has renewed
a number of questions in the
minds of many people particularly
on Whites status with the MA
ACP.
People have been mystified
about White ever since the begin
ming of his continued absences
from his post with the NAACP
and his attempt to resign.
Rumors of divorce had led many
of his friends to believe that one
of the reasons for his wanting to
resign was the impending divorce.
Now that the divorce is final they
are wondering whether his ru-
mored romance with Poppy Can
non had something to do with his
desire to resign.
Many reasons have been given
for his attempted resignation.
Probably the most publicized of
these reasons has been Mr.. Whites
health. Although his physicians did
warn him not to work too hard,
he is at present on the arduous
Town Hall Round the World jun
ket. He also attended the Paris
conference.
The NAACP leaders, passion
for delicate food dishes also has
been given as a possible cause for
spending less time with the MA
ACP. Always known for his fas-
tidiousness at the dinner table,
white recently has taken to attend
ing cooking exhibits.
He has developed a great taste
and experiences for unusual re-
cipes. 1t is believed that his tours
of cooking shows has led him to
do quite quite a bit of tasting. In
fact he has added many pounds
so that he is now pleasingly ro-
tund.
Observers seem to agree that
the divorce probably has not
harmed White or the NAACP. But
the big question evidently is what
would a romance across racial
lines do to White or the associa-
ton.
Since his divorce has become a
reality, Whites name has been
Economically connected with Miss
Poppy Cannon. She was recently

Steel Can't Pay Pensions.
Dividends Keep Flowing

New York (LPA)-No end was
in sight for the steel strike as the
industry, led by US Steel, continu-
ed its stubborn resistance to the
United Steelworkers' demand that
the companies bear the full 10
|cents-an-hour cost of pensions and
welfare as recommended by Pres
idential fact-finders.
But stockholders of US Steel
could breathe easier. The bell-cow
of the steel business will be send
ing out healthy dividend checks
from the profits of the third quar-
ter of 1949 which ended Sept. 30,
the day before the strike began.
After quarterly meeting of Big
Steel's board of directors here on
Oct. 25, chairman Irving Olds said
the regular quarterly dividend of
sits per share of preferred stock
and so cents per share of common
stock will be paid. Third quarter
profit amounted to $39,171,144,
Olds declared, and revealed that
his was nearly $5,000,000 more
than for the same quarter last
year. Total profits for the first nine
months of 1949 were $133, ,223, 400
compared to only $88,042, $50 in
the same months of 1913.
Lest any union man get any
bright ideas, however, Mr.. Olds
said that US Steel "cannot afford
to pay alone" the whole cost of
pension.
On Oct. 26 Cyrus S. Ching, dir
ector of the Federal Mediation &
Cancellation Service, was talking
here again with US Steel officials
in another last ditch attempt to
find a formula for settlement. The
day before, he had a surprise con-
ference with representatives of
Bethlehem Steel after reporting to
Presidential aide John R. Steel
man in Washington.
Although it was repeatedly rum
ored that if US Steel still refused
to bulge President Truman would
take hand, White House spokes-
men continued to say the Chief
Executive had no known plans to
act. The only indication of
change in the situation was anoth-
er statement by Chairman Olds of
US Steel that the company might
offer more than the proposed 10
cents an hour for welfare and pen
sions provided employees made a

UE Head Bounced
From Own Local

Lynn, Mass. (LPA)-Pres. AL
bert Fitzgerald of United Elec-
trical Workers was bounced from
his own local this week, along with
three other left-wingers, for "con-
duct detrimental to the good and
welfare of the union." They failed
Ito follow membership instructions
in voting at the recent UE conven-
ttion.
A membership meeting of Local
'201 in Lynn ousted the four by a
[voice vote, rejecting a recommen-
sdation of the executive board that
they merely be suspended from
plocal office for year.
Fitzgerald, the only vice-pres-
|ident who failed to show up at a
meeting called in Cleveland this
week prior to the national CIO
convention, is under fire, along
with other Communist sympathiz-
Iers for refusing to follow ma jor-
|ity decisions.
The UE leader just this week
filed "non-Communist affidavit"
with the Natl Labor Relations
Board, as required under the Taft
Hartley act for use of the Boards
services. NLRB officials revealed
they have turned Fitzgerald's and
all other UE officers statements
over to the Justice Dept, which is
empowered to investigate them for
perjury.
In a strategy move preceding
convention, UE has called on its
members to contribute to fund in
support of striking steel and mine
workers. At the same time, a group
within Farm Equipment Workers
asked the New York State Sup
RENE Court to block FE from
merging with United Electrical
Workers.

0lds Lays Defeat
To Profit Greed
of Utility Firms

Washington LPA)-As far as
ex- Federal Power Commissioner
Leland Olds is concerned, he lost
the fight for another FPC term
because the private utilities "were
afraid that the bonanza profits
might be taken out Of their hands
if he remained on the utilities regu-
lating agency.
Despite the smear attack, pre-
pared by the natural gas produc-
ers' lobby, and presented to Con-
gress by Oklahoma and Texas
Congressman, centering around
Olds' articles for Federated Press
attacking the state Of capitalism
before the 1929 crash, the real is
sue was the question of whether
or not public utilities should be
regulated in the public interest,
Olds asserted. He spoke publicly
for the first time since his rejec-
tion by the Senate at luncheon of
the American Veterans Committee
here.
In Senate debate preceding Olds'
rejection, his supporters said that
at stake was ten billion dollars
which "the oil industry hopes to
extract from household and indus
trial consumers of natural gas by
wrecking federal regulation of the
price of gas" Olds had led the fight
against Congressional measures
to achieve this.
He lis still campaigning for the
idea of "public competition" to
keep down the prices charged gus
and electricity users, it was clear
from the talk to the AVG group.
The ex-FPC member suggested
that the federal government, in
stead Of leasing the oil rights in
the tidelands reserves it controls,
might "set up it's own operations
to provide a yardstick by which it
can determine what is reasonable
return"
Olds also urged federal action to
set up regional authorities in the
big river valleys of the US, to
Stimulate private enterprise to go
into business on a regional basis to
compete with nationally organized
authority"
His personal experiences in the
past few months, Olds said frank
ly, have tended to convince me
there was good deal in what |
wrote 25 years ago about the in
fluence of great corporations in
the government, and about political
influence generated by private own
ership of utilities"

Local AFL Groups
AIerted By Green
For Housing Drive

Washington (LPA) = In more
than 800 cities and towns across
| the country, AFL central labor
bodies have been alerted by Pres
ident William Green to carry out
the 68th annual conventions re-
solves to drive for better housing
for all Americans.
Green last week sent out re-
quest that central labor unions
Immediately organize housing COM
mittees, to work with Chairman
Harry Bates Of the Federation's
national housing committee, and to
take an active part in community
planning.
"As we view it," Green wrote,
"these housing committees would
have the following functions:
"1-To take an active interest
in local public housing and slum
clearance projects under the new
law, making certain that organized
labor is fully represented.
"2-To follow developments in
rent control, seeing that the inter
est of union families is protected.
"3-To stimulate interest in
labor's 'middle-income' housing
program"
The convention earlier had point
ed out that 40 per cent of Ameri-
can families, including most AL
members, have incomes between
$4,000 and $3.50, and "find them
selves in a position where they
cannot afford the homes being con-
structed by private builders but at
the same time their incomes make
them ineligible for any of the pub
lie housing units to be constructed
under the new Qow-rent public)
housing law"
Organized labor is pushing for
enactment of the Sparkman mid
dle-income housing bill by Con-
gress, which would encourage CO.
operative housing developments
with 4H-room units renting from
$50 to $50 a month.
Local CLU housing committees
have been urged to put pressure
on states and on local housing
authorities to take advantage of
the abor-backed public housing
law passed by the present Con-
gress to begin slum clearance local
