allegations concerning violations of
the Discipline may be heard and
determined.
Judge Mclean pointed out that
church disputes as such were of
direct concern to the internal af-
fairs of an organization and that
subordinate bodies should act with

the organization.

quite revealing. 1t revealed that
there were at least 1000 individ-

the Democratic party. 1t revealed
further that about $50 Negroes
seelt it practical to grace the Com
modore Hotel for the event. A
mong the $50 were judges, ass
semblymen, district leaders, hous-
ing inspectors, commissioners, and
party workers of varying degrees
of Importance.
The dinner revealed that New
York Democrats have decided who
they will push as a presidential
candidate. If Congressman Roose-
welt and Powell can be believed,
Averill Hartman will win on the
fourth ballot According to Con-
gresham Powell, Hartman is the
only candidate of either party who
has come out 100 percent for
civil rights and FEPC.
1t was further revealed at the
dinner that Adam Clayton Powell,
articulate representative of New
York's 22nd district, is just as ar
ticulate in the palatial grand ball
room of the Commodore Hotel as
he is in the Abyssinian Church.

European Economy
Progressing, But Not
Enough, Survey Says
BY the Assoeiotad Press

PARIS, Dec. 13.-Despite a
great recovery from the destruc-
ton Of World War II. Europe's
economic situation was termed
far from satisfactory today by
the Organization for European
Economic Cooperation.
A 400-page review by experts of
the 18-nation organization was
made public at the close of a
two-day meeting in Paris. headed
by British Foreign Secretary
Anthony Eden.
The solution to Europe's eco
nomic ills is TRADE, Not Aid
said the report. adding however,
that postwar progress would have
been inconceivable without United
States Marshall plan backing.
Four Objectives Stated.
The ministers of the 18 nations,
with representatives of the United
States and Canada sitting in, as
signed themselves four main OBJ
jectiveS for 1853.
Mr.. Eden told newsmen these
involved carrying out of various
recommendations in the organiza-
tons newly approved fourth re-
port: planning the future of the
European Payments Union; in
Icreasing trade through a further
easing of restrictions; and
further strengthening the organi-
cations relations with the Euro
pean coal-steel community.
Production Increased.
The economic report detailed
bright spots and shadows in the
European outlook.
On the bright side, the report
listed:
/. Industrial production is more
than one and a half times that of
1947. Private consumption is
! slightly above prewar.
2. Imports are slightly below
prewar level. while exports are up
nearly two-thirds, showing a real
effort to solve the balance of pay
ments problem.
| 8. Europe has "laid the foun-
dations of better future" through
large investment programs. liberal
ization of a big part of its trade.
and setting up Of multilateral
payments system which also covers
trade with overseas territories and
the British-led sterling area.
Initiation Trend Noted.
On the other hand. the report
said, inf1ationary tendencies are
rife in some countries. there is a
lack of trade balance among some
European countries themselves and
an even more serious gap in pay
ment balances between almost all
the countries and the dollar area.
Moreover, some countries have
reimposed trade restrictions. thus
damaging trade liberalization and
contributing to general decline
n trade.
