'AFL Leaders Meet
Tomorrow 10 Decide
Policy on Top Issues
By the Associoted Press

The 5000, ,000-member American
Federation of Labor sends its top
policy makers to Atlantic City
tomorrow for a parley on issues,
ranging from domestic politics to
international labor problems.
Headed by 79-year- -old President
William Green, the AFL's 15-man
Executive council is expected to
stick to tradition and avoid a fiat
Endorsement of either Dwight D.
Eisenhower or Ad1ai Stevenson for
President.
The AFL hasn't officially in
dorsed any nominee since 1924
when 1t supported Robert M.
LaFollette of Wisconsin. He ran
on an independent, progressive
ticket and was defeated. Individ-
ual AFL unions, however, and
State councils often publicly sup
port one party or the other.
The executive council is COM
posed OF Mr.. Green, George
Meany. AFL secretary-treasurer,
and 13 vice presidents, including
George M. Harrison of the railway
clerks. Daniel Tobin Of the team
sterS, James c. Petrillo of the
musicians and William Hutcheson
of the carpenters.
CIO Leaders Will Meet.
The CIO, meanwhile, was set
for a mid-week conference here
of its top officials, including Pres
ident Philip Murray, nine vice
presidents and several hundred
leaders of the Political Action
Committee, the CLOS political
arm.
The three-day meeting starting
Wednesday, first since Gov. Stew
enson's nomination, is going to
be almost wholly concerned with
Ipolitics-plans for a broad au-
tumn campaign to get out the vote
for Gov Stevenson and other
Democratic candidates for Office.
The CIO, numbering between
five and six million, has cam
paigned for Democratic presiden-
Itial candidates ever since its 1886
formation. Next week end it will
publish a voting record on major
issues of all House and Senate
members of the 82nd Congress. All
delegates have been invited to the
White House next Friday for a
presidential handshake.
To Draw Up Report.
Main job of the quarterly meet
ling of the AFL executive council
us to whip into shape the annual
report for presentation to the AFL
national convention scheduled for
September Is in New York City.
Other matters high on the
Iagenda include: A new proposal
by the big machinists union for
settling jurisdictional disputes:
what the AFL is going to do about
participation in the International
Confederation of Free Trade
Unions 1CFTU); the question of
who shall succeed President Green
when he steps down.
Mr.. Green was elected to the
top AFL post in 1924. He has held
lit ever since, and rumors of his
Imminent retirement always gain
wide circulation around conven-
ltion time. However, there appears
to be no real basis for them at
this time.

And Academic Codes
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO. April 8.-The Ma
tional Collegiate Athletic Associa-
ton has stepped up it's efforts to
crack down on violators of it's aca-
demic and athletic requirements.
A four-man committee, headed
by Walter Byers, NCAA executive
director, was named yesterday at

investigate evidence of violations.
The other members are John
Hurlburt, Stanford; King Hen
bricks. Utah State, and Tom Ham
ilton. Pittsburgh.
The four can act only in ad-
visory capacity, channeling re-
ports to a new enforcement group

lof the NCAA membership.
The 17-man Council. the pow
erful policy-making body, will
have final authority to determine
whether a member school should
be suspended or otherwise pun
ished for code violation.
The Council also clarified the
new NCAA'S limit of 20 spring
football practices in a 30-day
period.
NCAA President Hugh Willett
Of Southern California said that
ANY activity on field or floor,
movie demonstration or chalk
talk, or combination of the three
on a given day will constitute
one session of the 20 sessions per-
mitted."
The Extra Events Committee,

will soon start a Nationwide sur
vey of sentiment toward contin-
uation of football bowl games or
other poSt-Season competition.
Questionnaires will be sent t.

tors, head coaches, athletes, stu
dent leaders and others for a
