Vice Premier and Minister OF

Smarting Republicans
Gird 10 Shed Tag Hung
On Record by Truman

A House Republican publicity
committee, headed by Minority
Leader Martin. went to work to-
day to give the people a better
picture of the views and votes"
of Republican Representatives.
Mr.. Martin appointed himself
and eight colleagues to follow out
a Republican Policy Committee
authorization earlier this month.
The eight are Representatives
Hall of New York, Auchincloss of
New Jersey. Halleck of Indiana,
Brown of Ohio. Ellsworth of Ore
gon, Case of South Dakota, Jensen
of Iowa and Boggs of Delaware.
Others may be named later, Mr.
Martin said.
A reported aim of the group is
to counteract some of the bad
publicity" given the 80th Congress,
largely as a result of President
Truman's hammering at the rec
ord during the 1948 campaign.
Republican congressional lead
ers and others, in a week end of
Lincoln Day oratory. declared the
Republican record in the last Con-
gress can and should be defended
more effectively.
Senator Wherry, Senate Repub-
lican leader, said in Chicago: THE
Republican 8Oth Congress pulled
our country out by a tailspin of
sound, constructive actions. But
we Republicans failed-miserably
failed-to sell the accomplish
ments of the 8Oth Congress"
That opinion also have been
voiced by Mr.. Martin. He ex-
planned today that the new House
Republican Committee will not
conflict with other established
committees but wants to work in
close harmony with the national
and senatorial campaign COM
mittees and with the Republican
Congressional Campaign Com
mittee."

Farm Equipment Union
Proposes Election on
Merger With UAW
BY the Associated Press

EAST MOLINE, H., Feb. IA
A joint tWo-union election ito set
tie for all time to come" the ques-
ton of labor representation in the
Quad-Cities farm equipment in
dustry was proposed yesterday.
The offer came from the domi-
nant CIO United Farm Equip
ment Workers Union as an after
math of the riot last Thursday at
the International Harvester Co.
plant. In that pitched battle be-
tween UFEW members and organ
izers of the rival CIO United Auto
Workers Union, 20 combatants
suffered dashed heads. broken
ribs and arms.
John T. Watkins of Rock Island,
district UFEW president. made the
election proposal to Jack Living
ston of Detroit. UAW interna-
tional vice president. Mr.. Living
Ston and Pat Greathouse of Chi
cago. UAW regional director, were
among the injured in the rioting
and both were charged with dis
orderly conduct. Their hearing is
set for February 81.
The UFEW which claims 10000
members in the area and the
UAW which claims 1900 were Or
dered by the CIO convention last
year to merge. but the UFEW
ignored the order. Since then, the
JAWS organization workers have
attempted to swing the UFEW's
membership over.
Tom Hendricks of Moline, inter-
national representative of the
UAW, described Mr.. Watkins elec-
ton proposal as naive.
MI. Hendricks indicated his be-
lief that an election would not
change anything since the UFEW
has a majority in the area.
Mr.. Watkins said he told MI.
in his telegram that
you will accept this proposal If
you are interested in the welfare
of the workers, eliminating strife
in this community and bringing
about a solution of the issue for all

Australia Frightened
At Idea U. 5. Might
Pu|! Out Of Japan
By the Associoted Press

SYDNEY, Australia, Feb. IA
Australia has just had scare. A
published suggestion that the
United States might pull out of
Japan caused it.
A United States Army spokes-
man in Washington denied the
report, said it had no foundation
at all Secretary of the Army
Royal said in Honolulu he knew
of no plan to reduce American
strength in Japan.
But Australians apparently
never had thought of the possibil-
ity that the United States might
pull out of Japan and the mere
hint of it was enough to give them
goose flesh. They haven't quite
recovered yet.
Almost every newspaper in
Australia had an editorial today
on Australia's defense position.
Not one had word of cheer for
the readers.
Typical headlines:
The Sydney Sun: "All by Our
selves in the Pacific"
The Brisbane Courier-Mail:
Out On a Limb"
The Melbourne Argus: Geo.
oranhical reminder" "
What the newspapers said was
that Australians may some day
be left to fight their own battles
They said the Tokyo story could
not be dismissed as mere fantasy
despite the denials. Mr.. Royals
statement. they said. was evasive.
They would like to have a more
definite, official statement.
The papers also fired some shots
at Australia's foreign policy. par
ticularly for:

nesians.

By the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. IA
Philadelphia millions, on foot or
in automobiles, felt the full i'm
pact of the four-day-old transit
strike today, but one threat to
travel here was averted for time.
The $3.50 drivers and mechan-
les of the Yellow Cab Co. voted
to postpone a strike until 6 am.
Thursday. The Walkout had been
scheduled for midnight tonight.
Similar postponement is expected
from 300 independent cab drivers.
Most people got to work today,
but it was nightmare of travel.
Cars and trucks, bumper to

Business and industry moaned.
The Chamber of Commerce esti-
mated the daily strike at $10,000,-
900. In wages alone, the chamber
said, Philadelphians are losing
nearly $2,000.000.
Some factories reported absen-
teeism up to 30 per cent.
Hospitals sent out an sos. The
Philadelphia Hospital Association
asked the city to provide trans
portation for workers. It estimated
that Is per cent of nurses and
other employees can't get to work
-"and the situation could become

operation by the big industries
paid off. Special trucks and buses
picked up workers at designated
intersections. The Army. Navy,
and Marine Corps transported 40
900 civilian employees to their jobs
in Government buses and trucks.
Parking Ban Enforced
Running time to Central City
points slowed to a snail's pace. A
trip that ordinarily took is mAl-
utes was completed in an houN
sometimes longer. In some in
stances, a person walked faster
and got farther than an automo-
bile could move in the jam.
Police rigidly enforced round
