MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Feb. g.
The AFL Executive Council to-
day told it's big International
Longshoremen'S Association to
clean house along the New York
water front or face expulsion
from the federation.
The council said it will expect
a report from the 60,000-member
union advising that the cleanup
order has been complied with or
that it will be carried out
April 30.
A special committee composed
of AFL Vice Presidents Charles
j. MacGowan, George M. Harri-
son and Dan w. Tracy submitted
recommendations in the water
front scandal matter which were
approved by the council.
Action Is Ordered.
The ultimatum to the long
shore union, headed by Joseph
P. Ryan, said that "aS a condi-
ton of continuing affiliation with
the AFL, the union must:
Take such remedial action
necessary to place the interna-
tional union and it's local union
above suspicion and completely
free of all racketeering, crime,
corruption and all other irregu-
lar activities disclosed by the re-
cent investigation of crime on
the New York City water front.
to the end that the international
union will serve the legitimate
social and economic needs of its
members in keeping with true
trade-union principles :"
The council noted that the re-
cent New York crime investiga-
ton brought out evidence of
widespread alleged crime. dis
honesty, racketeering and other
highly irregular and objection
able practices, in which it was
reported that officers in your in
ternational and local unions
have been involved"
Move First of Its Kind.
The council action marked the
first time in history the AFL has
moved to punish one of its in
ternational unions for alleged
malpractices.
The council told the union
that to remain in the AFL, it
must:
/. Purge itself of all semblance
of crime and racketeering.
2. Remove from Office all per-
sons found guilty of accepting
gifts and bribes from employers.
3. Remove from Office all
union officials with criminal
records.
4. Introduce in the union dem
ocratic procedures which will
assure every member voice in
union affairs.
S. Supplant the present meth
cd of hiring Stevedores (which
encourages the kickback and
other Objectionable practices
with legitimate hiring methods. F"
In the past when one Of its
unions was involved in scandal,

Gen. Collins Defends
Operation Smack
Denies Il Was Show

Gen. j. Lawton Collins today
stoutly defended Operation
Smack" and said the public
information officer who gave
correspondents an operations
order in a colored cover was an
"eager beaver"
IT offer no brief for the eager
beaver who assembled the opera
tions order and issued it with a
colored cover" the Army chief
of staff told the House Armed
Services Committee at a hearing
on the much-criticized January
Is combat raid in North Korea.
He said the overall COM
mander did not know that the
document was being issued in
such a form, but added that the
Army shares the responsibility"
of having issued it.
The issuance of such orders to
observers and war correspondents
is standard procedure, he added.
Supply Problem Raised.
Representative Hoffman, Re-
publican. of Michigan who intro
duced a resolution calling for
today's hearing, followed the
general on the stand and got
INTO a heated discussion on
whether or not soldiers in Korea
had sufficient clothing and food.
Gen. Collins assured the Con-
gress member they were the
"best Clothed who have ever gone
into action and also the best
fed"
Virtually all of the members
of the committee attended the
session. Chairman Short said
most of them had been flooded
with letters as a result of the
attack on Little Spud Hill in
which three platoonS of troops
attacked with supporting tanks
and aircraft.
Big Attack Failed.
The attackers failed to gain
their objective and lost three
men, with 81 wounded.
Gen. Collins said that of the
81 wounded IL were severely
hurt, is critical and IL already
had returned to duty.
"It was not staged affair to
amuse generals" he declared.
He said a briefing of war COR
respondents took place at '7th
Division headquarters 35 minutes
before the initial firing and
there was no chance of a leak"

Senator's Would Ease
Baron Stockholders
InGoyernnent Posts
By J. A. o'Leory

A change in existing Jaw to
make 1t easier for businessmen
to. serve the Government was be-
ing discussed by some Senators
today, as an aftermath of the
recent wave of stock-selling by
high Defense establishment ap-
pointees.
The Senate late yesterday con-
firn1ed Robert T. B. Stevens for
Secretary Of the Army and Rob-
ertsB Anderson for Secretary of
the Navy Mr.. Stevens agreed in
advance to sell his stock in j. P.
Stevens & Co.. because it is do
ing, defense work. The same
promise had been obtained ear
lier from Charles E. Wilson, the
new Defense Secretary, and his
deputy, Roger M. Kyes. Mr.. An
derson owned no stocks in de-
Tense companies.
The Senate also confirmed
Winthrop w. Aldrich, New York
banker. as Ambassador to Great
Britain after his connections
with the banking world had been
injected into the debate.
Only one top Defense appoint
ment remains to be acted on,
probably tomorrow. He is Har-.
old E. Talbot for Secretary of
the Air Force, whose confirma-
ton has been delayed by last
minute questions raised by Sen
ator Kefauver. Democrat, of
Tennessee.
Taft Sees Mistake"
Majority Leader Taft of Ohio
said he believed the Armed Serv-
ices Committee made a mistake
in requiring Mr.. Stevens to sell
his stock in his family's textile
firm.
The Ohio Senator said that
unless the Committee reverses
that policy Congress ought to
amend the law to make it per-
fectly clear" that officials in sub
ordinate posts need not sell their
stocks under such circumstances.
Senator Taft said the cases of
the subordinate secretaries are
different from that of Mr.. Will
son, who is head of the depart
ment and cannot pass his re-
Sponsibility on. But, as head of
the. Defense Department, Mr..
Wilson can-and has-directed
those under him, not to handle
contracts with.concerns in which
they. have an interest, the Sen
ator said.
II believe Mr.. Stevens would
have refused (the appointment)
if he had known what was COM
ing" said Senator Taft.
Senator George, Democrat, of
Georgia also declared the Senate
has been going too far in ap-
plying the law which says no
official of the Government shall
transact business with a concern
in which he has an interest.
The Georgian said that law was
not intended to be used to
qualify men for appointment,
but merely lays down condi-
tion they must follow after
appointment.
He recalled that Mr.. Stevens
served his country honorably as
an officer in the Quartermaster
Corps during World War II
without ever dealing with the
company in which he was in
tereSted.
Senator Lehman, Democrat,
Liberal, Of New York praised
Mr., Stevens. but said he would
vote against him reluctantly
because he felt the appointment
was inconsistent with the law.
Senator NOISE Opposed.
The Aldrich appointment was
opposed by Senator Morse, in
dependent. of Oregon, who said

Dr.. Conant Answers
Critics al Hearing;
Approval Foreseen
ev ,he A,,ocicted Pres,

DR.. James Bryant Conalt went
before a Senate committee today
to testify on assertions he is soft
on communism and favored
extra -harsh treatment for Ger
many after World War II.
The retiring president Of Har-
ward University. named by Presi-
dent Eisenhower as high COM
missioner for Germany, will ap-
pear before the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee in closed ses-
sion.
The group opened hearings on
the nomination yesterday. with
two witnesses against DR.. Conant
and one for him. The educator
listened silently.
Approval Predicted.
Afterwards; several committee
members predicted his nomina-
tion would be approved with few
If any opposing votes.
who's against him?" asked
Senator Tobey. Republican, OF
New Hampshire, when queried by
reporter as to his stand. ITS
asinine to oppose a man like
that. I'm for him with every
thing /, have, and more, too."
Senator H. Alexander Smith,
Republican. Of New Jersey. said
he was sure DR.. Conant would
win the committees nod. and
also full Senate confirmation
with little difficulty.
Majority Leader Taft. a new
member on Foreign Relations,
said he thought some important
points had been raised against
DR.. Conant. But he said he did
not believe the educator was in
danger of being rejected.
Roosevelt Critic Opposes Him.
The leading witness against
him was John T. Flynn Of New
York, author, economist and Bit
ter critic Of the late President
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Mr.. Flynn said he believed DR..
Conant's appointment would not
be well received in Germany be-
cause he said the educator once
favored the substance of the
Morgenthau plan for dealing
with the Reich after the last
war This plan called for dis
mantling German war potential
and other tight control measures.
Mr.. Flynn also raised the issue
of a speech made by DR.. Conant
last April. in which he said any
move to support private schools
with public tax money would
cause sharp division in the
country.
Some Roman Catholic groups
have interpreted this as an at
tack on parochial schools.
Defended by Protestant.
Another witness, Joseph M.
Dawson, executive director of
the Baptist Public Affairs Com
mittee, defended him on this
point. Mr.. Dawson said DR..
Conant cordially recognized
the right Of parochial schools to
exist.
The third witness, Mrs. Bea-
trice Brown Of New York, rep
resenting the Women's Commit
tee for Clean Government. said
DR.. Conant appeared to be soft
headed toward communism" and
that he had supported school
policies looking toward "a con-
cept Of world government" which
she called socialism on . world
scale"
Mrs. Brown said her commit
tee included not more than 20
persons.

Taylor Begins Round
OF Briefings in Korea
Before Taking Over
By the Associated Pres,

SEOUL, Feb. Sit. Gen. Max
well D. Taylor arrived today and
began a round of briefings prior
to launching personal survey
of his new command-the United
States 9th Army.
The famed paratroop "jump-
ing general" of World War II
few in from Tokyo shortly after
outnumbered South Koreans
drove off $50 attacking North
Koreans on the frozen eastern
front.
Raiding allied soldiers. sup
ported by tanks, artillery and
planes, killed an estimated 800
Chinese Reds in an attack on
a hill east of Kaesong on the
western front.
United States Sabre jets pa
trolled MIG Alley. but for the
first time in 16 days failed to
flush any Communist warplanes.
Gen. Taylor will take over as
United Nations field commander
from retiring Gen. James A. Van
Fleet. He said the change in
command would come within a
few days at a time designated
by Gen. Mark Clark, u. N. Far
East commander.
Will Expand ROKs.
At a news conference. Gen.
Taylor described himself as "juSt
a green replacement" but said
he has a few days to go through
a course of sprouts" He said
that would make for an efficient
transfer of command.
"Of course any Army man re-
grets that so fine a general as
Gen. Van Fleet is being replaced"
Gen. Taylor said. He reported
he would continue Gen. Van
Fleets planned expansion of the
South Korean Army.
That is vital part of the Far
Eastern program" he said.
Meanwhile it was learned on
good authority that soldiers for
two new Republic of Korea in
fantry divisions have been trained
and the divisions can be acti-
waited for combat at a moments
notice.
The troops-possibly already
battle-tested-may be formed
into new fighting units this
month or next.
Nearing Van Fleet Goal.
If activated, the new units
would raise the number of South
Korean divisions to IA, just six
short of the goal sought by Gen.
Van Fleet.
The ROKs now are manning
tWo-thirds of the 155-mile Ko-
rean battle front.
Shortly before Gen. Taylor's
arrival, North Korean Reds
hurled a battalion sized attack
across more than a mile of the
freezing front against Luke the
Cooks castle "a promontory
northeast of the Punch Bowl.
A South Korean counter-at-
tack in the below-zero cold and
an allied artillery barrage, threw
back the Communists.
In the air war, 13 allied fight
er-bombers roared deep into
northwest Korea and pounded
Communist bridge about 80 miles
southeast of the Red Manchu-
rian air base at Antung.
Twin-engine B-26 bombers de-
stroyed 96 Red trucks and five
locomotives in sweeps over North
Korea.
On the western front, a large
allied raiding party supported by
tanks, flame throwers and artil-
lery overran two Red positions
honeycombed with entrench-
ments.

If SO, don't be gloomy. There
really IS something you can do
about it. If you're doubtful, just
come to this little town of 878
people - a whistle stop on the
railroad 100 miles southwest of
Seattle - and see what has hap

Winlock was dying on the vine
when it heard of plan of COM

Montana communities. Then Rich
ard w. Poston, who had a part
in the Montana work, carried the
work on for the University of
Washington.
Winlock was the perfected

guinea pig" for the final run.
Poston has written a book
about the system; in fact, two

Another book by Poston, Small

With Winlock SO successful,

ity to act as group.
In short, an atmosphere devel-
ops in which community action
takes place naturally, and does
not collapse for want of sufficient
community backing
Poston's Democracy Is You"
outlines programs for weekly
meetings. It lists hundreds of
questions for use in guiding dis
cussions. The program is flexible.
Any community can adapt it to
its own needs.
In Winlock's case the study led
first of all to a decision to paint
all the towns stores and public
buildings, and to clean up the
long-neglected local cemetery.
Then the townspeople, realizing
their eggs were all literally in
one basket - poultry raising -
looked about for other industries.
They found a national concern
that was looking for a site on
which to build a cedar processing
plant.
Beats Out Bigger Cities
Seattle, Tacoma, Bellingham,
Chehalis and other big cities were
bidding. But Winlock got the
plant-by offering seven acres of
land and promising to extend its
water system to provide fire pro-
lection.
They had to dig down in their
own pockets and subscribe $4,000
too Already $4,000 has been
laid on the barrelhead-cash, too,
and not tax money, either.
But since Winlock will get
nice year-around payroll out of
it, everybody is going to gain.
Other projects are under way.
A chicken-freezing plant is going
up A $4,000 vocational-educa
ton building has been enthusiast
tically financed by the voters.
Previously they had voted it
down.
Winlock used to have one train
day, and there were rumors it
would be cut off. But now two
trains stop here daily.
Port Angeles Is Next
At Port Angeles, where the plan
is still in the study stage, 900
citizens are busy digging out facts.
Every Tuesday evening most of
them meet in the high-school au-
ditoriun.
A report is read from one Of
the fact gathering committees.
The whole group then breaks up
into "buzz" sessions Of about Is
people each, to discuss the re-
port.
Forty five minutes later they
reassemble and a leader from
each buzz session reports its opin-
ions and recommendations for the
particular committee whose re-
port is under consideration.
In this way the whole COM
munity, as far as is humanity pos
sible, is actually taking part in
formulating its own affairs.

could happen" remarked one
Port Angeles citizen. But it is,
and we know we're going to- be
