Since the Committee has

everything within our power
to further the efforts of the
people Of the Virgin Islands
by obtaining all of the support
necessary to first protect the

fringement upon their hard
won rights and from political
strangulation and secondly, to
do everything possible to en-
list the support of those Vir-

groups on the mainland be-
hind our cause in which they
are vitality interested. This
cannot be done by sitting in
the Islands and writing letters
and besides there are many
many more vital and impor-
tant matters that need atten-
ton at this time in which
those groups on the mainland
can be of considerable assist
ance in having accomplished.

Gleason was SO very right in

which Turpin lifted Robinson's
middleweight title on a decision

really nothing much to it, he says,
just basic fundamentals.
"Turpin has a great left nook,
and left-hookers always bother Ro-

Gleason encountered that left
hook by proxy last Spring when
Billy Brown, one of Gleasonfs

President Truman is reported
to have told former Senator Bur-
ton K. Wheeler he doesn't expect
any general to be nominated on
the 1852 Democratic ticket.
This apparently put further
presidential rent in rumors that
Mr.. Truman might decide to step
aside in favor of Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower at next years conven-
tion-if the Republicans don't
beat the Democrats and nominate
the general first.
Senator Duff, Republican, of
Pennsylvania said on a television
program yesterday he is very
confident" Gen. Eisenhower will
accept a COP bid under the
proper circumstances" Senator
Duff, an Eisenhower backer, said
he thinks the general will be a
candidate if he feels the people
want him and if his duties in
Europe do not interfere.
Mr.. Wheeler would not COM
ment on the matter at all, but
the story told by his former Sena-
torial colleagues goes like this:
Mr.. Wheeler, who served as
something of a mentor for Mr..
Truman when the latter was a
freshman Senator, went to the
White House before he made a
recent trip to Montana.

Truman Voices Doubt Any General Will Be Democratic Nominee

The President urged Mr.,
Wheeler, now Washington law
Yer, to seek the Democratic Sena-
torial nomination in Montana
next year to oppose Senator Ecton,
Republican, of Montana, who beat
him in 1916.
More to feel out the Presidents S
intentions than anything else, Mr..
Wheeler remarked that he might
not be too happy running in Mon
tana on a ticket headed by a
general.
The President assured Mr..
Wheeler he wouldn't have to worry
about that-nothing like that
would happen. Mr.. Truman didn't
add anything about his own plans,
however, as Senators told the
story.
Petitions to put Eisenhower S
name on both tickets in Oregon's S
May 16 primary are likely to De
flied. But his name can't be en-
tered unless there is a satisfactory
declaration of his party affiliation
by April 6.

In politics, it was probably that
the convention would refuse to
give its support at this time to
either the Democrats or the Re
publicans, there was a compare
lively strong movement afoot to
lead the labor organization into
the ranks of the Republicans, ma

what officials describe as the in
adequacy of labor representation
in the defense effort. and the ad-

ing living costs.
Recently the United Labor
Policy Committee, made up OF
AFL, CIO and rail union officials
was dissolved at the AFL'S insist
ence. The rival labor groups had
worked together for eight months
for common legislative, political
and defense effort goals. The
AFL today said it Withdrew be-
cause the objectives of the COM
mittee had been accomplished.
But another section of report
to the convention condemned the
CIO for refusing to meet with
AFL representatives on ways Of
unifying the labor movement. AL
though a committee of AFL and
CIO has been in existence. the
AFL said the CIO had shown no
inclination for a year for a meet
ing on labor unity.

There were bitter rivalries with

Sellers Plan 10 Fight
Maryland Bid 10 Get
0uf-of-Stafe Sales Tax
By the As.oeiuted Pres.


WILMINGTON. DEL, Sept. IT,
The legal aspects of Maryland'S
tax and use laws will get a critical
inspection here october 2 when
Delaware and Southern PennSyl-
vania business representatives
meet.
Members of chambers of COM
merce and boards of trade in those
areas will attack the legality of
Maryland's attempt to collect 2
per cent tax on purchases made
by Marylanders outside their own
State.
The furniture dealers division
of the retail merchants section of
the Delaware Chamber of Com
merce is sponsoring the meeting.
Sellers Are Notified.
Maryland authorities have noti-
fed retailers and wholesalers in
Delaware and Pennsylvania to be-
gin collecting the tax on sales to
Marylanders, according to Edwin
A. Scotton, secretary of the retail
merchants section.
The act, however, requires Mary
land residents to report and pay
taxable purchases made outside
the State.
Maryland authorities have in
dicated that these concerns will
be held responsible for the pay
ment of the tax on all such sales
made since July /, 1947," Mr.. Scot
ton said.
He said the accrued liability in
some instances amounts to thou
sands of dollars"
Joint Action Demanded.
He called for immediate joint
action by the Delaware and Penn
sylvania interests affected"
Mr.. Scotton said Maryland COL
lection efforts so far have centered
on furniture and department .
stores. building supply dealers,
farm supply dealers and whole
Salers with delivery service.
Last night Walter E. Kennedy, +
chief of the retail tax division,
said the attempt to collect the tax
was the only way to protect local
merchants faced with out .ri State
competition.
THE thing was worked out with
the merchants in the District of
Columbia and l have every hope
that it can be done amicsbly with
the merchants now protesting the
act in Delaware and Pennsyl-
Vania," Mr.. Kennedy said.

By the Assoeioisd Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-De-
fense Mobilizer Charles E. Wilson
predicts that the new wage scales
shaping up for American industry
will exist for a long time"
He says the wages are a nat
ural outgrowth of an expanding
economy, and he describes the
Nations productive effort as
good" on the whole.
The director of defense mobili-
zation made the statements yes
terday. when he delivered two ad-
dresses keyed to today's opening
of the flye-day seventy-fourth
annual meeting Of the American
Bar Association.
Mr.. Wilson, former head of the
General Electric Co., addressed the
Conference of Bar Association
Presidents and the Junior Bar
Conference.
He discussed various aspects of
the national defense program.
At one point, he said: America
is still a pioneer nation and we
are going higher and higher and
the economy is going to expand" !"
At another point, he said the
value of defense items either COM
pleted or in the process in any
one month now totals $2.5 billion.
He said that before the Com
munist invasion Of Korea the de-
livery of the United States mill
tary items was at the rate of $5
million a month.
Mr.. Wilson said the end of the
year 1858 will see for the United
States a magnificent" defense
structure and a sound, stabilized
economy-provided the citizens
exercise a proper degree of "re-
straint and self discipline"
