NLRB Declares Suit
In Texas Court ILLEGAL
by The Associated Press

ey me Assoeiotsd Press
The National Labor Relations
Board yesterday told q Camden
(Tex0 lumber firm 1t acted IL
legally in going into a State court
to prevent union meetings on
company property.
The board said that the firm,
w. T. Carter 81 Brother, owns all
the property in and around the
town of 1000; therefore to bar
such meetings hinders employees
right to organize.
The board held that an injunc-
ton obtained in a Texas State
court in July. 1948, was intended
by the firm to prevent its workers
from forming a union. NLRB
said the effect Of it was to pro-
hibit any union meeting on Carter
property.
The company was ordered to
ask the court to wipe out the
injunction, or modify it. It also
was ordered to let the union pro-
coed with meetings on open areas
on company property.
The complaint was fled by the
CIO Woodworkers Union against
the firm, which is a partnership
of 20 members of the Carter fam
! lily operating a lumber and mill
supply plant with $50 employees
The company was ordered tc
reinstate at once with back pay
two employees held to have beer
Illegally discharged for union
activity. It was told to restore
one of them to a company -owneo
house he had occupied, and repay
him for loss due to eviction.

Committee 10 Study
Extent Of Korea Aid
BY the Assoeioted Press

PARIS, Aug. 26.-The Execu-
tive Council of the United Ma
tions Educational, Scientific and
Cultural Organization today ap-
pointed committee to decide how
far it should go in supporting the.
United Nations action in Korea.
The committee is expected to
report back Monday. Support of
the U. N. Security Councils action
In sending troops to Korea is &C
cepted as a foregone conclusion,
but the extent of the aid has not
yet been clarified.
Dr.. Luther Evans, Librarian Of
Congress and member Of
UNESCO's executive council,
urged all out measures to support
the Security Council decision
which labelled the Communists
aggressors and to disseminate 1t
as widely as possible.
Some Would Limit Action.
Others, however, favored more
limited action. The strained bud
get of UNESCO is factor.
The committee to iron out the
differences includes DR.. Jaime
Torres Bodet of Mexico. director
general of UNESCO; Mr.. Evans;
Roger SeydouX of France, and
Prof. Jean Piguet of Switzerland.
There are no members of the
council from Eastern Europe.
DR.. Torres Bodet suggested today
that UNESCO could aid through:
/. Immediate assistance to the
refugee civilian population, par
ticularly in the education of chill
dren.
4 2. Teaching aims and ideals Of
the U. N.
& 3. Giving the general public a
full understanding Of the U. N.
action in Korea.
Y a. Helping in the reconstruction
after the end Of hostilities.

tary-general of the U. NJ, attend

"UNESCO can play a very con-
structive and important role with
regard to the Korean question

The United States Census
Bureau locates this center after
each 10-year census. 1t has

~. The greatest movement was
between 1850-1860. when oxcart
and covered wagons headed to-
ward the Pacific. Then the
center Of population jumped
80.6 miles West-from near
Parkersburg, w. Va, to near
Chillicothe, Ohio.
Between 191O-1920. the point
crawled from Bloomington, Ind,
to 8 miles southeast of Spencer,
Ind. The 1910 census located it
near Carlisle, Ind.
Before 1890 people only
guessed at the center of popula-
ton. Some experts say 1t must
have been out In the Atlantic

the gain in the West has been on
the Pacific Coast.
The 1910 center of poulation
was more than twice as close
to the Atlantic Ocean as the
Pacific. People at a greater dis
tance westward will more than
balance the same number Of
people eastward, closer to the
pin-point balance.
The Census Bureau won't
guess" or'try to estimate where
the new center of population
will be as there is keen rivalry
between States and commune
ties for the distinction. But it
Is certain the center will jump
across the Wabash River into
Illinois because in 1910 it was
only about 10 miles from the
Indiana Illinois boundary.

tion was % miles east of Balti-

1t is a safe prediction that
the 1850 census will show the
center of United States popula-

will place the new center some

Belgrade Needs Help
The basic official American at
titude toward the Russian-Yugo-
slav conflict is that 1t is a case
of dog eat dog" although diplo-
mats shudder to hear it put this
coarsely. Morally there is no great
choice between Tito and Stain.
Politically, and, In the last
analysis. militarily it is vastly
better for the United States to
have the two Communist dictators
quarreling with each other than
it would be to have them united
against this country, as they for
merly were.
The basic official Yugoslav at
titude toward the United States is
amy port in a storm" Belgrade
desperately needs outside help If
it is to go on resisting the Soviets.
and the United States is the only
country that can and will provide
that help, so Yugoslavia will glad
ly take it from America.
No Compromise Expected
The United States seek to sup
port Tito enough to keep his re-
sistance alive. but not so much
that Russia would profit appreci-
ably If and when Yugoslav re-
sistance should be overcome or
should collapse and the Soviets
should take over the country and
any contributions which America
had made to it in the meantime.
Tito seeks all the American sup
port he can get, but without COM
promising or committing himself
vis-a-vis the United States.~'
Rarely have friendly relations
between countries been conducted
on basis of more careful or more
cold -blooded calculation.
This is why American Yugoslav
relations are sucn a big. tough
problem, and this is why Tito
needs a big. tough man to repre-
sent him in Washington. Popo-
vich seems to fill this ILL.
He is man Of action, rather
than a theorist. according to for
eign diplomats who have known
him in Belgrade and Moscow. His

now one Of the so 70 90 members
OF the Central Committee OF the
Yugoslav Communist Party, al
though he does not belont TO the

Of the national legislature.
By 1897. the future ambassador
was prominent enough in the
party to 60 as q Yugoslav delegate
to q Communist World Congress
In Paris. and later that same yea-
he went to Spain. where he served
with the international Brigade
against Franco. Popovich may
have become acquainted with Tito
at this time, II he had known him
previously, for the marshal was
then operating an underground
railway for smuggling men and
supplies into Spain from France.
Major in Tito. Army
Popovich seems to have re-
turned, to Yugoslavia after the
Spanish Civil War. and to have
gone underground there again. In
any event. he took to the woods
and joined the Partisans soon
after Germany invaded Yugo-
slavia in 1941. He became q ma
jor general in Tito's forces in
1S43. when he was only 20.
In the fall of 1914. when a pro-
Allied government came to power
in Bulgaria. Tito sent Popovicf
to Sofia as his political and mill
tary representative there and in
the spring of le45 the marshal
appointed his trusted lieutenant as
Yugoslavias first Ambassador to
Russia.
In Moscow. Popovich played
the Soviet game right down the
alley" says a foreign diplomat
who was stationed there at the
same time. Il never saw any,
body work harder at 1t. He talked
the straight party line"
Popovich was pronouncedly cool
toward diplomats of Western
countries. He was polite about
it. but very pointed" one of them
says.
The Kremlin found Popovich's
ardor useful and gratifying. and
conferred special favors on him In
allottlng living quarters and other
necessities and luxuries.
Popovich also tasted the de-
lights of Western civilization on
at least four occasions during this
period. He represented Yugo-
slavia at the peace conference in
Paris in 1916 and at the United
Nations General Assemblies of
l946. 1947 and 1949 in New York
Popovich went back to Belgrade
when the break came. and Tito
appointed him deputy foreign
minister under Edward Kardelj.
He was serving at this post when
the marshal appointed him as
Ambassador to the United States.

Envoy Popovieh
Is Yusoslovs'
Pinch-Hitter
BY WalIeee 4. DIESEL

Marshal Tito Of Yugoslavia has
picked one Of the biggest and
toughest Of all his men for ons Of
the biggest and toughest Jobs that
faces his country today.
The man Ii Vladimir Popovich.
and the Job IL that Of Ambassador
to the United States.
Popovich has Just taken over the
Yugoslav Embassy here from sava
N. Kosanovich. Ambassador for
the past i've years and now going
back to Belgrade TO serve ~ min
lister without portfolio In Tito's
cabinet.
The new Ambassador is Q big.
tough man personally and politi-
cally. He Is 9 feet 2 or 3 inches
tall, is built like q football line
man and must weigh well over
200 pounds.
He can be as affable, as suave. as
charming and as formally and i'm
peccably correct In dress and ad-
dress as though to the manor
born. His first-hand familiarity
with manors is. however, relatively
recent. It dates back only five
years, when Popovich became
Yugoslavia's postwar Ambassador
to Russia.
Prior to that he had spent his
life since he was in his middle
teens-he Is only 36 now-as an
underground Communist conspir-
ator in Yugoslavia and a guerrilla
fighter in the Spanish Civil War
and with Tito during the Second
World War.
Popovich has still further quail
fications for his new job. in addi-
ton to this record Of combat and
conspiracy.
Tito's Close Friend
He is high In the councils of
the Yugoslav Communist Party, he
is a personal friend of Tito's and
he has proven his loyalty to the
marshal by standing by him when
the break came between Belgrade
and Moscow two years ago
something which not all promi-
nent Yugoslavs did. Popovich was
Ambassador to Russia at the time
and the favorite of the Kremlin
among all satellite diplomats in
Moscow. He threw in his lot with
Tito nevertheless, although he
could not help knowing that this
might mean discomfort for him
at least. and. quite conceivably,
his actual demise.
Diplomacy is necessarily one of
the most malevolent of human
pursuits. for in q world Of inter-
national anarchy the first law of
nations is the law Of the jungle.
In the last analysis. world politics
is all question. as Lenin said. of
"Who-Whom?" That is, of who
eats whom. 1t is a question of
eat or be eaten. And as Remy de
Gourmont has said of a somewhat
similar case, when it is a matter
Of not being eaten, all means are
the right ones"
Power Politics at Work
Things aren't necessarily as
tough as this always and all over.
They are most certainly tough,
however. in the present relations
between the United States and
Yugoslavia. Seldom can there
have been a clearer case of naked
power politics at work.
The more or less capitalistic
American democracy and the thor
oughly Communist YugoslaY die
tatorship are outwardly and tenn
porarily on the best of terms, and
are working hand-in-glove They
cordially detest and distrust each
other. however. and they are work.
ing together because they detest
