Weak Unions Are Ripe
For Red Rule, Green
Says in Taft Act Slap
BY the Associated Press

MIAMI BEACH. Fla, Feb. g.
AFL President William Green said
today that continued controls OH
labor will hurt business and make
the Nation ripe for communism.
Labor cannot be dragged down
in this country without dragging
down our whole free enterprise
system with it," he said.
Mr.. Green's latest plea for re-
peal of the Taft-Hartley law came
after AFL leaders drew up Plans
for changing the complexion of
Congress next fall to insure the
labor laws repeal.
The AFL's political branch
League for Political Education
claims it is getting support from
Midwest farm groupse in lighting
present Congress members who
favor the Taft-Hartley law. It
was contended the same legisla-
tors supporting that law also want
to reduce farm price supports.
Mr.. Green's remarks were PIE
pared for delivery to the Miami
Rotary Club between sessions of
the AFL executive councils an
nual winter meeting.
Contending that a strong labor
movement is the nations best de-
fense against Communism, the
AFL president warned that:
IF the American Federation of
Labor is to be victimized and op-
pressed by legislation designed to
make strong unions weak and
weaker unions weaker, the way
will be open for the Communists
to move right in and take over" :"
Saying the AFL has always
fought Communism, Mr.. Green
gave labor'S notion of the free
enterprise economy as one having
a voluntary basis of labor man
agement relations with govern
ment regulations and restrictions
held to a minimum"
with labor and management
working together in common cause
and not against each other" he
said. 1--WE can build and produce
and prosper, and defat any threat
from whatever source against our
own security and the peace of the
world"
Pay Boosts Sought.
Mr.. Green said, however. that
the AFL intends to press for wage
increases wherever justified by
increasing ctivity and
profits
The AFL's political league COM
pleted plans yesterday for taking
an active part in the spring pri-
mary campaigns in the South
where victory in the Democratic
primary is equivalent to election.
Among Southern Senators the
AFL is supporting for new terms
are Graham of North Carolina,
Long of Louisiana, Johnston of
South Carolina, Hill of Alabama
and Pepper of Florida, all Demo-
Gratis.
Joseph D. Keenan,, the AFL
political leagues director. pre-

dicted defeat for Senator Taft,
Republican, of Ohio, saying he ex-
poets Joseph Ferguson, Ohio State
auditor, to be Senator Taft's
Democratic opponent and vic
torious one.
Mr.. Keenan, said voluntary con-
tributions from all AFL members
toward the 1850 political drive
have amounted to about $35, 900
to date. This is about what the
drive has cost, but MIR. keenan,
expects the amount to swell rapid
ly as the campaign continues.
A renewal of the 10-cent tax
on union members for the AFL's S
separate political education fund
is being considered.

Stock Price Increase
Halted by Korea News
BY the Assoeiaied Press

NEW YORK, June 30.-The
stock market held its ground to-
day in the face of a burst of
selling touched off by President
Truman's order to use United
States ground troops in Korea.
Prices wavered slightly for a
few minutes under a flood of Of
ferings that hit the exchange so
fast that the ticker tape dropped
behind in reporting transactions
from the floor of the exchange.
The losses were quickly recouped
and numerous leaders rose still
further. Gains amounted to as
much as 50 a share.
The market opened today with
q fast rise and buying so intense
that the tape was late. Gains
ranged to an extreme of around
S. a share. Demand soon slack
ened and the best gains trimmed.
The rise was a startling change
Of direction. At the close yester-
day prices were headed downward
at top speed.
Today's antics in the market
were the latest in q series Of
violent moves, mostly downward,
which started Monday when
Korean hostilities developed.

TAIPEI, Formosa, June 3d.
Nationalist China today informed
the United Nations it was taking
steps to furnish "such assistance
as is within" its power to the
republic of Korea.
An official announcement said
the Nationalist government called
the United Nations attention to
the urgent need of concerted ac-
ton on the part of all United
Nations members in order to
maintain international peace, Sc

where"
The announcement said the
execution of China's decision was

The Nationalist decision was
sent to U. N. Secretary General

BY the Associated Press

TOKYO, June 30.-Red all
bases at Pyongyang, North Ko-
rean capital, have been hit by
"our air force" South Korean
official said tonight.
(The Korean did not explain
the expression "our air force"
but it was presumed he meant
American bombers. The South
Korean airforce, as far as
known, has only 10 fighter
planes given them by the United
States at the outbreak of hos
tilities and few light observa-
ton planes.)
The announcement came after
Gen. Macarthur ordered Ameri-
can warplanes to strike North
Korean air bases regardless OF
their location.
Clarence Ryee, Korean director
OF public information, telephoned
the information from Taejon, the
republics provisional capital, to
the Korean mission here.
He said "our air force" attacked
bases in North Korea and Pyong-
yang last night and transportation
routes northward of the 38th par
alel were hard hit.
Macarthur Gives Order.
Orders to strike the Communist
airmen were given by Gen. Mac
Arthur on his dramatic flight to
the Korean warfront.
I'VE must attack their planes
on the ground without waiting
until they get into the air." he
added.
Maj. Gen. E. M. Almond said
American warplanes are attacking
North Korean air installations
wherever they are. That might
be in North Korea or in territory
they have taken in the SOUTH"
Bombers will attack air fields,
supply dumps, grounded planes
and similar facilities.
Gen. Almond did not say when
the air attacks began against
North Korea, but the Communist
radio at Pyongyang said q Amer
lean bombers had struck at the
Red capital today.
The Red radio, monitored here,
said the bombers dropped 800
bombs ranging in weight from 100
to 1000 pounds.
Denies Parallel Abridged
Gen. Almond said Gen. Mac
Arthur'S orders did not constitute
an abridgement of the 38th paral-
lei as a war boundary, but was a
normal military operation taken
to neutralize an enemy attack at
its source.
