Unions Push Voter Registration Drives
And Avoid the Noisy Fonfores

One thing missing from this
campaign is a vocal cutlery
from labor. Nearly full employ
ment and the internal problems
attaching to the merger of the
American Federation of Labor
and the CLIO are apparently
responsible.
What the unions are doing.
especially in States where their
friends in the Senate are up for

vote. They are bearing down
in their publications and their
meetings on the need to regis
ter.
Registration as such is being
stressed, rather than organized
delivery of the vote for q par
ticular candidate. The latter
type Of effort evoked much
criticism in past years and
what was even worse from the
union point of view, it was in

prosperity. They have settled
for inaction in Congress and
they are settling for inaction in
the campaign on that score.
Labor leaders discovered in
1852 that President Eisen-
hower'S promise to end the
Korean war pulled wives of
their members into his camp
in very large numbers. That
appeal. they now think, has
run its course.
Their present view is that
Eisenhower remains more pop
ular among women in labor
groups than among men, but
they anticipate that labor's
vote will be substantially
Democratic everywhere.
The issues pressed by labor
spokesman are:
/. Administration opposition
to raising the minimum wage

the Democratic Congress.
2. Administration opposition
to the expanded social security
bill approved by Congress.
3. The Presidents nominees

Tito Reported Agreeing to Provide
Volunteers if Allies Take Action
CONSTANTINE BROWN

Marshal Tito agreed at the
recent Yalta talks to provide
volunteers" for Egypt in the
event of British-French mill
tary action against that coun-
try, according to report from
usually reliable sources which
reached Washington over the
week end. 1t is regarded as at
least plausible" in some re-
sponsible official quarters here.
The report points out that
the USSR has committed
itself to send volunteers" as
well as war materials if the
two Western powers attempt
to solve the Suez Canal crisis
by military intervention.
The volunteers must of
necessity be Moslems. Trans
ferring of MohammedanS from
the Soviet areas such as Aver
baijan or Turkestan is logis-
tically too complicated. Hence,
Tito was approached with the
request that he provide free
hooters from Bosnia-one Of
the six states which form the
Yugoslav confederation and is
overwhelmingly Moslem.
1t is noteworthy that Tito
was accompanied on his trip to
Yalta, not by his braintruSter,
Kardelj-who is always at his
elbow when questions of Com
munist ideologies or overall
policies are diScussed-but by
an obscure and insignificant
president" of Bosnia, a GER
tain Djuro Pucar Start.
Whatever happened at the
Yalta parley which was at
tended by Marshal Zhukov as
well as the top political lead
ers is still a well preserved
secret. But sufficient informa-
ton has seeped through in
Belgrade to justify the con-
lecture that Tito has agreed
to provide Bosnian volunteers
if his colleague and fellow
dictator, Nasser, is compelled
to defend with arms his ma

tionalization of the Suez Canal
Co.
1t also is significant that
while Belgrade has made it
known that representatives of
the Hungarian and Romanian
governments will call during
this and the next week on the
Yugoslav marshal, the visit of
the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem
once one of Hitler's tools,
who now lives in Syria-is
being kept secret. The Grand
Mutt has always been a loud
exponent of militant pam
Arabism and does not care
what allies the Arabs may
have to choose to attain this
goal.
The report received in Wash
ington also points out the
fallacy of a belief in some
quarters that Tito has been
asked to intervene in what
ever discussions may exist in
the Communist high command
in the USSR. There is every
likelihood that there are such
diSSensionS. But it is certain,
the report says, that the men
in the Kremlin will never &C
cept an outsider-Such as Tito
as the arbiter of their troub-
les and personal quarrels. In
the opinion of those in the
know, this would be as incon-
ceivable as if. say, the president
of Costa RIGA had been asked
to come to Washington to
settle the pre- convention
Nixon-Stassen controversy.
Tito is being showered with
honors and flattery by the men
in the Kremlin, not because
he has an outstanding posi-
ton in the Communist world,
but because he is a vitality
important asset in the Soviet
schemes in the eastern Medi-
terranean. He is closer to

YugosIoy Gun Fodder for Suez

in the last six years by the
Western allies and been treated
by them with kid gloves gives
him an added prestige which
could well be exploited for
the present Russian plans
in the Middle East.
The Suez Canal dispute,
while still a matter of debate
in the U. NJ, is unquestionably
the most explosive situation
the West has yet encountered.
1t is worsened by the fact that
there is open lack of unity
among the members of the
Western coalition. For the first
time since the end of the last
war Britain'S and Frances vi
tai intereStS-not in the canal
itself, but in their indispens-
able possessions in Africa-are
directly threatened.
The Soviet and neutralist
blocs in the U. N. have taken
a definite position: They are
determined to support Egypt,
come what may. And if the
result is military action by
Britain and France, it is Tito
who will be called to produce :

DR.. Carmichael's attention

Kentucky IS per cent of all
the Negro teachers in elemen-

DR.. Carmichael also men

THOMAS L. STOKES
Stevenson Meets the HeckIers

Yale bad manners with per-
feet composure. After he had
finished his speech in the hall
he came outside and faced the
mob again. When he began
to speak from the front steps
the din started once more.
But he went ahead. He han
died himself superbly and in
the end came out with all the
honors. Newspapermen who
watched it all agreed on that.
Surely" he began, "the stu
dents of Yale don't need a
lesson in manners from a
Princetonian."
That set of another round OF
"boos," which continued to
punctuate his remarks, though
with diminishing volume. He
began to get more attention as
he spoke of the value of diff
ferences Of opinion in our poll
tics. and Of the value of our
two-party system. Then he
reiterated his support for
lowering the voting age to 18
years despite, as he said. what
had occurred at Yale Univer-
sity on this night. The crowd
began TO subside and he had
almost complete silence when
he finished by recounting an
experience OF his own. He re-
called his trip to Russia as a
newspaper correspondent 30
years ago. and concluded.
The thing I remember best
was that they had no public
meetings like this. Good
night"
For the first time that eve
Ming there was a different
chant from a few students as
he stepped into his car:

heckling, or even more serious
matters. Such, for example, as
the attacks on him by one of
his own party leaders, Harry
Truman, at the recent Chicago
convention. He took that in
stride, quietly and philosophi-
cally. and with a turn of the
other cheek.
Or, for another more recent
example. the rude display OF
manners by Yale University
stu d tents the other night.
There he not only got a storm
of "boos" from a mob of stu
dents on a rampage and per-
sistent angry shouts OF Go
back to Princeton" He also
got beer cans tossed into the
road along which the motor
caravan proceeded to Woolsey
Hall and, finally, a tomato
plopped into the seat of the
automobile in which he was
riding.
For some Of us who saw
this sorry spectacle at Yale
there was recalled a shameful
episode we had seen while
travelling in 1910 with the late
Wendell l.. Willkie when he
ran against President Roose-
welt. An egg was tossed onto
the platform where he and his
party were sitting at a politi-
cal rally at Flint, Mich. and
nit Mrs. Willkie and splattered
over her dress. Later. at Chi
cago, the candidate, himself,
was struck in the head with
an egg. an incident forever
chronicled in a prize-winning
picture BY an alert photog-
rapher.
Tensions were high then.
They must be getting high
now when Yale University is
infected. What happened
there was a shock to those OF
US who. in trying to get into
Woolsey Hall for the candi-
dates speech. got caught in
the midst Of the mob and saw
the strange frenzy Of the
young men. They we're finally

This is, of course, no new
