ward merging the AFL and CLIO
into united labor organization.
Lays Down Four Terms.
In speaking for a merger res
olutions.he. laid down four terms
which he said the CIO would
insist upon:
!. The CLOS industrial union
structure must remain intact"
and under nc condition will we
permit any craft union to chip
away any piece of our industrial
union structure"
2. There must be machinery
set up for settling long -smolder-
ing jurisdictional fights between
AFL and Go unions.
3. Membership in all unions
must be open to all people
regardless Of race. creed or color.
4. Both organizations must rid
themselves of any racketeering
elements. Mr.. Reuther referred
to Communists as political
racketeers." He commended the
AFL for investigating conncc-
tons of it's member with the
New York waterfront situation.

The associate warden of the
College of Preachers, Washington

Methodist Bishop G. Bromley
Oman of Washington against a
congressional attack.
The Rev. DR.. Charles r. Stin-
nette. jr.. in his sermon at the
Cathedral, declared: Last week
on the floor OF Congress the
name Of a Methodist bishop was
shamefully and ridiculously mis-
used. It was an insult to every
citizen in this land regardless of
his church"
Representative Jackson, Re-
publican, Of California last Tues
day attacked Bishop Oman in
a speech.
II believe that Christian con-
science will react appropriately. I"
DR.. Stinnette asserted. THE
fearmongers would destroy free
dom by putting themselves where
God ought to be. If any one
resists they use the pressure of
name calling"
The speaker also said zone of
the un-American practices which
ought to be investigated by every
loyal citizen is the tendency
that if you don't agree with a
man you smear him. This is
foreign to the American spirit
of fair play. It is counsel of
fear"
DR.. Stinnette warned that I'VE
can make the Communist dream
come true by dividing and de-
stroying ourselves before it..
Freedom will not flourish in a
land of suspicion, division and
fear"
Secretary of State Dulles and

JAWS Leaders Draft
New Action 10 Curb
Any Reds in Union
BY the Associated Press

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j.. Mar
23.-Leaders Of the CLIO United
Auto Workers Union readied a
new weapon today. aimed at
curbing any Communists or
SympathizerS. within the union s
100000 membership.
A constitutional amendment,
prepared for presentation to the
JAWS international convention,
would make it easier to prove a
member is a Communist and
thus ineligible to hold Office in
the union.
The auto workers union was
one of the first to bar Com
munists-Nazis and Fascists, too
from Office. But it has found
it difficult to prove, under the
present provision, that any par
ticular member is a Communist
or subservient to the party.
Details Not Disclosed.
The new provision, details of
which were not disclosed before
it goes to the convention floor.
would make the proof easier.
However, it still would not GUST
Communists or sympathizers
from membership-but only from
Office. ~
AS the convention went into
its second day it became appar-
ent that Tightening Of the anti
Communist provision would be
one Of three major issues to
come up.
The others are:
/. The formal launching Of the
JAWS campaign for a guaran-
teed annual wage in 1855.
2. The marshaling Of support
of the nearly 5000 delegates be-
hind the unions demand that
the auto industry revise the cur
rent five-year contracts to meet
inf1ationary developments since
they were signed in 1850.
Hints Strike, If Necessary.
Walter P. Reuther, JAW pres
ident, has limited strongly that
the union wouldn't hesitate to
strike if necessary to win either
the annual wage or the current
contract provisions.
In his opening address yester-
day. Mr.. Reuther called the an
nual wage the only means of
bringing about full employment
and full production in peace
time.
I'VE are prepared" he said, Ito
sit down and work this thing out
sensibly, constructively, intelli-
gently. But if manage
ment is unwilling to do that,
then we will have to meet that
problem as we were compelled to
meet other problems. by fighting
it out the hard way. One way OF
the other. we are prepared to
take this one on until we win
these justifiable demands at the
bargaining table for OUR people. -

| Bishop Oman Says
ills Duty Of Congress
To Probe Churches
BY the Assoeiossd Press

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, Mar. %.
Methodist Bishop G. Bromley
Oman Of Washington, named
in the House of Representatives
as pro-Communist. says Con-
gress has the right and duty
to investigate churches.
Bishop Oman said in a SER
mon at the Harvard University
Memorial Chapel yesterday that
fif Communists are found in
churches they should be found
guilty and punished"
The Methodist prelate said his
church has never been infil-
trated by people using it for
revolutionary purposes.
Our sacred institution has
never been inflltrated by Com
munists," he declared. II have
never met or found one in the
church."
Named by Californian.
Bishop Oman and the Rev.
Claude C.. Williams, Presby-
terrain of Birmingham, Ala, were
named pro-Communists on the
House floor two weeks ago by
Representative Jackson, Repub-
lican, of California.
The California Representative
spoke in support of Representa-
tive Velde, Republican, of Illi-
noiS, chairman of the House
Un-American Activities subcom-
mittee. Mr.. Velde has said he
favors an investigation Of clergy
men to determine if Communists
have infiltrated churches. How
ever. his committee has rejected
Mr.. Velde's suggestion that an
investigation be made.
Bishop Oman in his sermon
criticized Mr.. Velde's group for
retaining what the prelate called
adverse and untruthful infor-
nation against persons in it's
files.
Any Charges Filed.
Anybody can send in any,
thing he wants against his
neighbor to the committee and it
goes into the files" he said.
1T is a practice that has been
going on for seven years. right
up to last Saturday. The FBI
does it. but the agency does it
thoroughly and does it prop
erly."
Turning to the commandment
Thou shalt not bear false wit
ness against thy neighbor, "
Bishop Oman said:
1T is the duty of the, church
to see that false witnesses are
brought to the attention of our
people"

Tonight I witnessed the worst
play I have ever seen.
The play was a drama in four
acts and five scenes called "Peo-
pie of Good Will" by the Soviet
playwright Georgi Mdivani. It
was the first anti-American play
I have seen in Russia and. ]
must admit, a pretty frightening
experience.
The theme of the play con-
sists Of the efforts of the United
States to push a certain un-
named puppet government into
aggression by instigating an at
tack northward across a care
fully defined geographical par
allel. And then all I have to do
is add that the leader of the
armed forces in the execution
of. this unprovoked attack is an
American general named John
Arthur.
All of this, of course, CORE
spends to the Kremlin's explana-
ton of the outbreak of the Ko-
rean War-and I am afraid that
most Russians, hearing and
reading nothing to the contrary,
do believe that South Korea,
showed and supported by the
United States, was the agrees
sor in the first instance, and that
United States troops. in spring
ing to the offensive against
North Korea, have committed
unheard-of atrocities against the
local population.
Throughout the play the Rus
sian audience responded audibly
and visibly-applauding and
cheering every deed Of heroism
by the brave partisans of "peo-
pies democracy" gasping with
real shock and horror att every
act of brutality by the American
imperialiSts. s

THOUGH FOOTBALL was
Il dropped as an intercol-
legiate sport at Georgetown
University in 1851, the game
is far from dead there, thanks
primarily to the success of an
on-campus tackle football
program.
This fall, about $50 George
town students have been play
ing football believed to be
of about the same caliber as
that played by some smaller
colleges still engaged in
intercollegiate competition.
None of the players hold foot
ball scholarships, so the pro-
gram is saving the school
about $125,O00 a year.
Three years ago, after add
ing up the bills, Georgetown
found it was losing about
$4,000 a year on football. 1t
was clear that the school
could not afford the sport,
but the decision to abandon
it was made with regret, for
Georgetown had always cher
iShed it's football tradition.
Consequently, Immediately
after announcing that inter-
collegiate football was no
more, Georgetown officials
began to lay plans for a
substitute. On hand was an
excellent stockpile of football

The free substitution rule is
