Red Link Charges
BY the Assoeiaisd Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-Two
ousted United Nations employees,
both Americans, stood pat yes
terday on their refusal to say
whether they ever had Com
muniSt connections.
The two, Frank C. Bancroft,
48. and Mrs. Julia Older Bazer,
43, were fired by the U. N. for
their refusal last year to answer
questions of the Senate internal
security subcommittee.
They refused again yesterday
to answer similar questions, al
though Mrs. Bazer maintained
her loyalty in a statement
handed out outside the subcom-
mittee hearing room.

The two were among IL ousted
Americans recently granted re-
instatement or cash indemnities
by a u. N. appeals tribunal. Mr..
Bancroft won a $4,000 in
demnity ruling, and Mrs. Bazer
was awarded $27.500.
Brought back before the sub
committee in an investigation of
the indemnities, Mr.. Bancroft
refused to say whether he held

Certainly if you did not hold
that card, a simple answer would
wash it out" said Senator Jen-
ner, Republican, of Indiana.
chairman of the subcommittee.
Mr.. Bancroft was a former
editor in the u N. Department
of Conferences and General
Services. He said he is an in
active minister of the Episcopal
Church.
Mrs. Bazer, former $9,140 a

She testified she Joined the
office force of a manufacturing
firm after she left the U. N. and
worked there until a few days
ago. She declined to name the
firm, but the subcommittee said
it was a furniture company in
Queens.

any disloyalty to my country nor
do I have any knowledge of such
disloyalty on the part of any one

Cut in Work Hours
To Be Aim Of AFL
In Coming Months
Ry the Associated Press

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 26.-The
AFL. saying wage boosts may
be harder to get in coming
months, indicated today that its
unions may strive for shorter
working hours.
This summary of AFL bargain
ing aims came from resolutions
approved, at the organizations
annual convention which con-
cluded week-long sessions yes
terday.
One resolution pledged AFL
unions to plug for a 35-hour
work-week and another said the
economic climate" for nego-
tiating pay increases in the next
few months is 'likely to be less
favorable"
IF business activity should
turn downward" the convention
said, employer resistance to
wage increases will stiffen."
Economic Study Planned.
The AFL delegates resolved to
study economic conditions with
in their industries to be prepared
to get the best wage terms pos
sible from employers and then
adopted another resolution which
expressed the intent of pressing
for a 35-hour work-week in
Congress.
The present wage-hour law
bars workers engaged in inter-
state commerce from working
more than a 40-hour week, I'M
less paid time and half over
time.
A 35-hour work week, the AFL
said, would prevent the country
from drifting into a creeping
depression"
In quick-moving windup
session the AFL approved a mo
raiding" agreement with the
CIO. outlawing union drives to
get lready-organized workers to
switch allegiance from one union
to another.
The pact still must be ratified
at the CIO convention in No
vember and number of CIO
and AFL unions have indicated
they won't go along with the
agreement. 1t will apply only
to unions indorsing the agree
ment.
In companion move the AFL
directed its top officials to draft
a plan for peaceful settlement of
disputes between rival unions
within the AFL. AFL President
George Meany said it was a
constructive step" toward even
tual barring of union squabbles.
Durkin Held Justified.
At yesterdays busy final ses-
sion, the AFL convention also
adopted resolution saying the
recent resignation of AFL union
leader Martin Durkin as Secre-
tary of Labor was justified "be-
cause of the failure of President
Eisenhower to keep his agree
ment" with Durkin.
This referred to Mr.. Durkin's
claim he quit because Mr.. Eisen-
hover broke an agreement to
send a message to Congress sug-
costing 9 changes in the union
criticized Taft-Hartley law. The |
White House has said there was
no such agreement.
Although the administration
amendments in question were far
short of our program" the con-
vention resolution said, they |
represented a forward step and
the failure to propose them was
clearly responsive to anti-labor
pressures."
In other actions the AFL re-
elected officers, including Mr..
Meany, and chartered a new
union to replace the Interna-
tional Longshoremen's Associa-
ton, ousted from the AFL for
harboring racketeerS.

Great Suburban Race
By Tom Fool Hailed
By Racing Experts
BY The Assoeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, June 1.-Out of
the Nations rich Memorial Day
racing program came a horse
that might well give Native
Dancer a real battle in the turf's
1853 popularity contest.
Up to Saturday, the 3-year-old
Native Dancer. with 13 victories
in IA starts. had the stage very
much to himself despite a de-
feat in the Kentucky Derby. But
today horsemen and laymen
alike were talking of Tom Fool,
the Greentree Stables 4-year-old
winner of the historic Suburban
Handicap at Belmont Park.
Old-timerS couldn't recall a
performance that matched that
of Tom Fool as he broke in front
in the 1A-mile race and stayed
on top all the way to nose out
Mrs. Esther Dupont Weir's Eng
lish-bred Royal Vale.
Under top weight Of 128
pounds. the son of Menow
opened up a three-length lead
going down the backstretch and
then withstood a head-and- head
duel with Royal Vale through
the testing final quarter-mile.
Royal Vale carried 124.
The time of the race, 2:0O3S,
was the fastest at Belmont since
Whisk Broom II won the 1918
Suburban in the disputed clock
ing of 2 minutes fiat. The world
record Of 1885 was made by
Moor under 127 pounds at Golden
Gate Fields in 1850.
The victory left Tom Fool with
a record of five straight tri.

ings of 1894, $40. He has been
out of the money only once in "a
