NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-A pio-
neer, independent union, the
Mechanics Education Society of
America. has voted to join the
CIO.
The decision will bring to an
end years Of contests between
the two groups to represent
various industrial plants.
Matthew Smith, Of Detroit.
national secretary OF the MESA
since its founding. said yester-
day the move should be greatly
beneficial.
"It will stop the competing for
individual shops" he said. 1T
means the money formerly used
in contests with the CIO can
now be used to organize the un-
organized.
The MESA, founded in 1882
five years before the CIO got
started, represents $4,000 me-
chanics, tool and die makers,
engineers, craftsmen and gen.
eral production workers in 127
metal industry plants.
It was the first union to move
into the automobile industry as
a plantwide union.
The decision accepting a CIO
charter, which guarantees con-
tinued internal autonomy for the
MESA, was made unanimously
yesterday by $50 union rep
resentatives after a tWo-day
meeting and vigorous debate.
In votes before final action,
only about rs per cent favored
accepting the charter.
It had been recommended by
George White of Detroit, MESA
president; Emil Petitto of Cleve-
land, vice president, and Mr.
Smith.
The move first was suggested
about six months ago by CIC
President Walter Reuther at q
meeting between the MESA ane
| the CIO United Automobile
Workers Union to discuss a ''nt
raiding" pact.

BroWnell in turn expressed sin
cere appreciation for the con-
tributions which Mr.. Mackey had
made to the execution of the
immigration and nationality
laws.
Mr.. Mackey was out of the
city at the time Of the announce
ment, and his future plans were

jurisdiction at further plants to
be worked out with other CIO
unions.
The MESA now represents
plants which in the CIO nor
mally are represented by one Of
several different unions the
UAW the international Union

SteelworkerS' Union.
Over the years the MESA and
one or the other of these CIO
unions have had some 100 rep

Smith said about half of them
have been won by CIO unions,
about half by the MESA.

Miss Bergman's demonstration
of the greatest love.
Under RoSSellini's direction in
their latest production, she un-
dertakes to play a composite of
every feminine reformer from
Lysistrata, through Joan of Arc,
down to Carrie Nation.
This is an impossible COM
posite even in an era that has
seen the art so highly developed
as this one.
y
Miss Bergman's is the most
grossly ungrateful role in 1.-The
Greatest Love-" but the others
in their way come off as mis-
erably. Alexander Knox, a
normally impressive player, is
hopelessly astray in the part of
the heroine's husband; Ettore
G1annini is a mere shadow as
the recklessly progressive edi-
tor, and Teresa Pellati as the
tuberculous prostitute must
surely have been convinced there
are more rational ways of max
ing ends meet.

It is also a difficult thing to say

Bergman.
Five writer's, including Ros-

deduction from their work is
that two and one-half of them
worked with the basic works
of Karl Marx for reference

Europe 81" was the original
title of the film which returns
Miss Bergman to a local screen.
It is still definitely the better
one in that it suggests the COM
plete artistic collapse of every
one involved in this effort to
describe, and prescribe for, Eu-
ropes postwar neurosis.
What this collapse implies
most extravagantly is the pro-
ducer's notion that every law of
logic has been repealed. This
includes the one that dubbed
speech on a sound track should
have at least a faint resemblance
to the lip movements and ex-
pressions of the players. AS used

While the plot of Rossellini's

nevertheless possible to set down

She is asked to act the role OF
a young, socially prominent wife
and mother in Rome who escapes
the anguish of her 12-year-old
sons suicide by helping more
tragic sufferers. Rome, she learns
from a disciple of Marx, is full
of these pitiable human victims.

family concludes that the hero

means of retaining his own
