AFL Gives Up Place
On Labor United Front
Policy Committee
CIO Is Urged to Work
For Eventual Merger
Of Two Organizations
BY the Associated Press

The AFL today withdrew from
the United Labor Policy Commit
ltee, an organization formed nine
months ago with the aim of pre-
lsenting a solid labor union front
during the defense mobilization
period.
| At the same time, it urged that
the CIO work toward eventual
merger with the AFL.
William Green, AFL president
presented formal statement an
nouncing the AFL's withdrawal tc
a meeting of the ULPC. He said
ithe ULPC had been established
only on a temporary basis" and
added:
Its operations never were anC
never could be regarded as a sat-
isfactory substitute for organic
unity of the free American trade
union movement"
Represented on the ULPC were
the AFL, the CIO and some of
the railroad unions.
Main Purpose Accomplished.
The AFL leader said that since
the committee was organized last
December IA, it had accomplished
its major purpose in winning for
labor representation in the key
defense agencies.
The committee staged a walkout
last spring from the various mo-
bilization agencies and President
Truman eventually set up an ex-
panded Wage Sterilization Board
with power to settle disputes as
proposed by the ULPC.
The AFL Executive Council, at
its recent meeting in Montreal
decided to recommend to the San
Francisco convention next month
that the .AFL drop its participation
in the ULPC.
No official reason was given fol-
the move, but unofficially it was
reported that AFL leaders were
dissatisfied with the degree of CO.
operation by the CIO in interna.
tional affairs, in the mobilization
agencies, and in juriSdictional line:
between the rival declarations.
Pressure for Merger Seen.
One big unmentioned possibil-
ity. however, was that the AFT
leaders might be trying to pres.
sure the CIO President Philip
Murray into outright merger. Mr.
Murray has argued that before
there could be a consolidation o1
Ithe two groups they would have
to demonstrate harmony in the
harness.
The AFL's position at Montrea
was taken largely through the
urging of Secretary Treasurer
George Meany, who frequently
has been mentioned as the prob
able successor to the 78-year-old
Green.
Among the Is members of the
executive council only George M
Harrison of the railway clerks
and Dan w. Tracy of the elec-
trical workers opposed the pro-
posed breakup of the ULPC.

Drug Addiction

Examinations Sought

When Semester Opens

School officials are studying .
proposal to ferret out possible drug
addicts in Junior and senior high
schools by physical examination
before classes start week from
Tuesday.
DR.. Hobart M. Corning, SUPER
intendent Of District schools,
said the suggestion was made by
the Bureau of Narcotics, through
B. M. Martin, supervisor Of the
bureaus Baltimore Washington
area.
DR.. Corning expressed doubt.
however, that the plan would be
workable or legal. He is seeking
opinions from the Health and
Legal Departments.
Special Meeting Called.
At the same time, DR.. Corning
ANNOUNCED that a special meeting
of all school officials is to be held
week from Monday to discuss
the narcotics problem the day
before school gets under way.
Narcotics Bureau officials and
members of the police narcotics
squad will address the assembled
officials. to acquaint them with
methods for detecting addicts.
The suggestion to examine the
approximately $4,000 junior and
senior high school pupils was
made in a letter to DR.. Corning.
Mr.. Martin wrote him:
I'VE believe we might uncover
as many as 10 cases, which, If
allowed to continue, would permit
each addict to probably make two
others; ever two make four; every
four make 16 until the number
pyramids out of control"
Suggests Health Service.
Mr.. Martin suggested that the
Public Health Service could make
the examinations, or that they
could be made through school
health doctors.
IF any narcotics users are
found" the letter said, please
make arrangements with the Dis
trict Commissioners to have them
committed to Gallinger Hospital
for cure; also to permit our ON
GERS and local narcotic police to
question these addicts as to their
source of supply.
This would eliminate the in
fection centers and would seem to
be practical solution in prevent-
ing the spread of addiction"
Booklet to Describe Symptoms.
DR.. Corning said it would be i'm.
possible to examine all the stu-
dents before school gets under
way, and that he is not sure he
would have the legal right to order
the examinations.
He added that the District
Health Department is preparing
a booklet on the symptoms Of
drug addiction. The booklet is
to be distributed to all teachers
here.
Police officials have said that
the use of drugs in the schools
here is. almost nonresident, and
that only a few cases have come
to their attention in the past
several years. A recent survey Of
high school principals, with one
exception. confirmed the police
statement.
The exception was at Eastern.
where two addicts were dis
covered.

Mr.. Truman told the Ambassa-

sentenced to 10 years in a Czech
prison on trumped-up spying
charges.
White House Secretary Joseph

the flve-minute meeting between

sador. He said that in the brief

The chronological account by
Mr.. Short was as follows:
In the conversation the AM
bassador said he hoped to make
our relations more cordial.
THE President replied that the
best way he could make our rela-
tons more cordial was to send
our Associated Press Correspond
ent Oats home.
"The President further said that
relations between our two coun-
tries had deteriorated ever since
Jan Masaryk was murdered.
Before that time the President
said the relations between the
United States and the Republic Of
Czechoslovakia had been wonder
full.
Former Relations Mentioned.
He mentioned the extreme
friendliness of political relations
and the back-and-forth trade re-
lations.
But now, the President said,
it looked as If our relations would
not be what they had been unless
Czechoslovakia changed its pol

Mr.. Short said the new Ambas-
sador did not respond to the Presi-
dents plain talking. On leaving
the White House, DR.. Prochazka
told reporters the President was
gently smiling" But he refused
to discuss their conversation.
DR.. Prochazka is scheduled to
undergo some more discussions of
the Oats case at a State Depart
nent appointment tomorrow after
noon with Secretary of State
Acheson. Last week Mr.. Acheson
informed the new Ambassador he
wanted a full discussion of the
case after DR.. Prochazka had pre-
sented his credentials to the Presi-
dent.
Mr.. Prochazka, said to be a
Communist Of long standing, re-
ceived another expression of this
country's resentment at the course
of events in Czechoslovakia as he
drove to the White House. The
approach was picketed by ap.
proximately so refugees of Czech
and other descent bearing plac-
ards with such statements as

VIC VET SAYS

A simple and inexpensive me-
thod of blood serum testing for
the diagnosis of cancer has been
developed by doctors in the Vet
Grams Administration Hospital at
Los Angeles.
Using a synthetic substance,
which they substituted for an
antigen obtained from human
Icancerous liver tissue, the doctors
obtained almost identical results
when the material came into con-
tact with the blood serum of a
person afflicted with cancer. The
tests were more than 80 per cent
correct in confirming positive
cancer diagnoses.
Tests using the synthetic mat
erial on more than 900 patients
were described in papers read be-
fore the annual meeting of the
American Association for Cancer
Research in Cleveland, Ohio, by
