Squads of Crack Policemen

and harbor precincts; the fourth
district of the sixth, 10th and
18th precincts, and the fifth dis
trict of the ninth, 18th and 14th
precincts.
The "Shimonizing" plan began
as an experiment in the second
precinct with IA men working
under 1t. Shimon. That pre-
cinct, given a bad eye in crime
reports, was cleaned up appre-
ciably with the help of the squad.
Each of the new districts will
be supervised by inspectors as
part of Police Chief Robert v.
Murray's program of having five
districts instead of the present
three.
The precincts were Jumped for
convenience so that the flying
squads of plainclothesmen can
be shifted quickly into any pre-
cinct experiencing trouble.
1t was pointed out that men on
the squads can be assigned to
special duty and irregular hours
freely, with a minimum of paper
work.
Chief Murray has had the
squad in mind for about a year
with the hope of sharply cur
failing street robberies and
housebreakings.
Only recently, with the ap-
pointment of a new inspector and
enlargement of the force, has
the re-districting plan been made
possible.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 25.-The
AFL today chartered new long

a plan to curb jurisdictional
fights between rival AFL unions.

The new union is to replace
the international Longshore-

cause crime investigators had
accused it of harboring criminal
elements on the New York and
New Jersey waterfronts.

The convention, nearing an
end of its week-long sessions, ap-
proved a plan designed as first
step toward curbing intra-AFL
squabbles over job rights-that
is arguments between rival AFL
unions as to which ones men,
bers should perform various
types of work.
The plan calls for an immedi-
ate study by a special AFL ex-
ecutive council committee to
establish tes-settlement ma

The convention resolution calls
for a conference of AFL union
leaders within six months to try
to agree on such machinery. It
provides that any plan agreed
on then may be put into effect

Mr.. Meany hailed the action
as the first time the AFL has
ever attempted to deal with the
jurisdictional problem in such
a broad manner.

ndo-Chino Peace Negotiation
Is Proposed by F france in U.N,
Possibly as Part of Korea Talks
Schumunn PLEDGES
Effort to Get India
Into Conference
BY the Ass0ciafed Press

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Sept. 25.-France today offered
to negotiate with the Commu-
n1Sts for peace in embattled
Indo-China and suggested that
the projected Korean political
conference be broadened to take
on the task.
Deputy Foreign Minister Maui
rice Schumann also told the
U. MS 60-nation General As
Sembly that France would do all
in its power to have the confer
ence invite India to join in it's
work.
Mr.. Schumann said that if the
Korean conference didn't get
around to the Indo-C Chinese
problem, it might be taken up on
a diplomatic level afterwards.
Such a negotiated peace be-
tween French Union forces in
1ndo-China and the Communist
backed rebels would make it
possible to look forward to the
return of more normal conditions
of international relations in
Asia" he said.
Chance to Follow Up Hints.
The French diplomat said he
had heard unofficial declara-
tions" from the two powers
which inspire and arm the Wet
Mimi rebels that they were dis
posed to negotiate an end to the
war.
This was a clear reference to
the Soviet Union and Commu-
mist China.
He then declared that "it re-
mains for them to prove that
these ambiguous hints are not
mere propaganda" and sug-
gested that the peace talks be-
gin during or Immediately after
the Korean conference.
AS for the Korean aspects of
the conference, Mr.. Schumann
said France felt that India
which failed in a British and
Russian backed bid for con-
ference invitation-could give
useful advice"
He backed a proposal made by
Chief United States Delegate
Henry Cabot Lodge, jr., Tuesday
that the conference itself could
invite India which the Assembly
failed to do. Mr.. Schumann de-
clared France would do all it
could to bring this about.
Backs Unity of Europe.
He declared that the main
Korean problem was to unity
that war-torn country but said
only time could still the passions
and hatred that have split it.
Mr.. Schumann, making
Frances major foreign policy
declaration of 1853 at the As
sembly, defined his country's
goals as Ito unite Europe and
seek lasting understanding
among the great powers.
He told Chief Soviet Delegate
Andrei Y. Vishinsky directly that
a united European defense COM
munity-which, in the natural
course of events, would mean a
European defense army-pre-
sented no threat to Russia, but
would rather guarantee her Sc
curity.

prised at Mr.. Schumann'S strong
defense of united Europe, since
it had been their impression that
