But one of the authors of the Taft-Hartley Act, Senator Taft" (Rep., Ohio), approved heartily. He said at Des Moines that "it is not logical to require" that AFL and CIO board members swear they are not Communists. He said they have no control over the in- dividual unions under them. Ruling The ruling, an interpretation of the Taft-Hartley law handed down yesterday by the National Labor Relations Board, failed to win "unanimous approval" of a joint Senate-House committee set up to study how the law operates. One committee member, Rep. Hoffman (Rep., Mich.), told re- porters tha the decision "is a complete surrender to John L. Lewis." He contended that Con- gress must begin rewriting the Act if the board continues to make such interpretations. Bulletin SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 8-(jP)-- Joseph A. Padway, general coun- sel of the American Federation of Labor, died of a stroke tonight a few hours after collapsing during an address before the AFL's Inter- national convention. Senator Ellender (Dem., La.) said earlier that he feels the AFL and CIO leaders should take the oaths too. Lewis, an AFL vice president, had refused to sign such an affi- davit. Under an opinion of Rob- ert L Denham NLRB General Counsel, this would have prevent- ed all AFL affiliated unions from using the board's facilities. But yesterday's 4 to 1 ruling by the board said Denham was wrong. Affidavits, . The board held that sections of the law requiring union officers to sign the affidavits and to make periodic financial reports to the government and to union mem- bers, do not apply to top leaders of AFL and CIO. They do apply, however, to officers of unions af- filiated with these organizations. Senator Ball (Rep., Minn.), chairman of the joint committee, agreed with chairman Paul Her- zog of the board that the decision means the CIO and AFL need not file financial statements under the Act. Rep. Landis (Rep., Ind.), a committee member, suggested that Congress amend the Act to re- quire that shop stewards, business agents and union attorneys take the non-Communism oath. * * * President Urges Higher Production SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 8-(R')- President Truman appealed in a message to the American Federa- tion of Labor today to raise still higher America's level of produc- tion to "meet the critical condi- tions which threaten the well- being of the entire world." The President's message, read to the AFL's 66th annual conven- tion, called upon America's work- ers to share the nation's abund- ance with the less fortunate, in- asmuch as the production level to- day is greater than ever before in peace time. The need for grain, Mr. Truman added, "in many countries in the year ahead will be even more acute than in the past." The convention was recessed soon after the reading of the President's message when Joseph A. Padway, the Federation's gen" eral counsel, collapsed on the plat- form. He was taken to his hotel room suffering what appeared to be a slight stroke. Padway, who was discussing im- plications of the Taft-Hartley La- bor Law, had warned the federa- tion "we are on the threshold of a government by injunction-not b nrivp Pmn ,. hii u + i By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, Oct. 8-Distill- ers have agreed to make all their grain available for export, Secre- tary of Agriculture Anderson re- ported today as the National Food Conservation drive picked up mo- mentum. Anderson did not estimate how far this would go in meeting Pres- UN Approves Special Balkan Border Watch Russian Objections To Blan Overridden LAKE SUCCESS, Oct. 8-The political committee of the United Nations Assembly overrode bitter Russian objections late today and approved a United States demand for a special UN Balkan border watch committee. The vote on the special commit- tee was 34 to 6. The Russian bloc voted solidly against it. Nine na- tions, including the Arab group and Sweden, Norway and Den- mark, abstained. The delegates put off tem- porarily a decision on the hottest part of the U. S. resolution-a sec- tion finding Yugoslavia, Albania and Bulgaria responsible for help- ing Greek guerrillas. U. S. Proposal The committee also approved a U. S. proposal that the Assembly call on Greece, Yugoslavia, Bul- garia and Albania to cooperate with the special committee. The vote on this section was 39 to 6, with 8 abstentions. The balloting climaxed commit- tee debate on the Greek-Balkan case which began Sept. 25. It came after Russian chief delegate Andrei Y. Vishinsky charged that the U. S. was presenting an "ulti- matum" to Bulgaria, Albania and Yugoslavia in the Balkans quarrel. He accused the U. S. of "coward- ice" on this phase. Palestine Partition Earlier, a top American State Department official was reported authoritatively today to have told a United Nations delegate that the U. S. will favor a plan for partitioning Palestine "with per- haps a few modifications." An informed source said the United States might speak Friday or Saturday. A Russian delegate said the Soviet Union had not de- cided just when to speak on the Palestine question. Illinois Train Time Changed Scheduled hours for the special train that will leave Ann Arbor for the Illinois- Michigan game have been changed, according to an an- nouncement made yesterday by Don Greenfield of the Wol- verine Club. The train, originally schedul- ed to leave Ann Arbor at 12:01 p.m. on Saturday Nov. 1, will leave at 6:30 a.m. instead, and will depart from the Cham- paign Main Station at 11:45 p.m. instead of 5 p.m. as plan- ned. Preference on tickets for the game will be given to students who are going on the train. Combination game and train tickets may be purchased at U Hall. ident Truman's goal of saving 100,000,000 bushels of grain by mid-1948 to help feed Europe. He said it applies to all the grain the whisky makers hold or have contracted to purchase. Farm leaders told Mr. Truman today that they will campaign to slash the use of grain on the farms. Anderson says that is where the big saving of grain for export must be made. A pledge of "100 per cent coop- eration" was given at the White House by Albert S. Goss, master of the National Grange; Edward A. O'Neal, president of the Amer- ican Farm Bureau Federation, and Quentin Reynolds, president of the National Council of Farm Co- operatives. Distillers met late today with the President's Citizens Food Committee, which is leading the save-grain campaign. Chairman Charles Luckman prepared for them his formal request that whiskey making be halted for 60 days. Such a step is estimated to in- volve a 10,000,000-bushel saving. The Distilled Spirits Institute, representing 60 per cent of the industry, previously promised to recommend to the industry that it quit using what little wheatit requires, and cut the use of other grains in half. Luckman said that full compliance with this plan would save about 2,500,000 bushels a month. In nine months, that would total 22,500,000 bush- els. Anderson, who addressed a Na- tional Press Club luncheon, said he favored continuing beer pro- duction but at a reduced rate for the period ahead. He estimated the nation has a six-year supply of straight whiskey compared with a normal reserve of four years. Meanwhile, Attorney General Clark advised industry not to worry about breaking the law in temporary agreements tp cut down on use of grain to save food. Some businessmen had expressed'eon- cern that compliance with govern- ment requests for organized con- servation would violate the anti- trust act.

Lovett Claims Soviets Block European Aid Is Official Reply To International By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, Oct. 8 - The United States charged today that European Communists are trying to prevent the recovery of Europe and plunge the continent into "economic disaster" The accusation was contained in a carefully worded statement made to a news conference at the State Department by Under Sec- retary Robert A. Lovett. The statement came in response to re- quests for official reaction to the Soviet annourrcement Sunday that the Communists of nine European countries had formed an interna- tional information agency to fight the Marshall Plan and what they called British and American "im- perialism." Maligned Aims He said they had "maligned the aims of the American and British people in the recent war and car- ried to new lengths the distortions of United - States' policy with which the Communist press every- where has recently been replete." As to what the United States intends to do about the challenge presented by the Communist course, Lovett said: "We must continue to study with sympathy but with calm real- ism the problem of how Europe can be assisted to regain its prop- er place in a stable and peaceful world." Three Fronts Attacked As he spoke this problem was being attacked here on at least three fronts: 1. Top British and American of- ficials on German occupation pol- icy began discussions at the State Department on Britain's request for the United States to assume a much greater share of the dollar cost of maintaining the British- American zones of Germany. Scrape Bottom 2. Government officials were, in Lovett's words, continuing to scrape the bottom of the barrel for resources which might be used in providing immediate emergency aid to Europe, especially France and Italy. 3. Experts on American and Eu- ropean plans for European recov- ery under the Marshall program were reported by Lovett to be making satisfactory progress in understanding the needs and fu- ture possibilities of reconstruction problems. Out of the talks - of these experts is expected to come a careful comparison of what the European countries want in rela- tion to what the United States will be able to supply. STUDENT RALLY: Three NSA Representatives To Speak at Rackham Today i Three NSA representatives will explain the National Student As- sociation to the Michigan campus at 8:30 p.m. today at Rackham Lecture Hall. William Welsh, national presi-' dent; Ralph A. Dungan, vice-pres- ident in charge of national af- fairs; and Harvey Weisberg, Michigan regional director, will speak on various phases of the as- sociation at the Student Legisla- ture sponsored rally. "NSA hasn't any plans to revo- lutionize campus life nor does it promise a student millennium," Dungan told The Daily yesterday. "But student cooperation on prob- lems common to all campuses is a definite possibility towards which we are working. Discuss NSA Relationships Dungan, a student at St. Jos- eph's College, Philadelphia, will discuss NSA relationships with the International Union of StudentsI at the rally, with explanations of} NSA international activities in- cluding affiliation with the World Student Service Fund organiza- tion, International Student Serv- ice and UNESCO. The IUS issue created heated discussion at the NSA constitu- - - - - - i Flu Injections To Be Given at Health Service Influenza injections are now available to students at the Allergy Department of the Health Service, according to Dr. Warren E. Forsy- the, Health Service Director. The Health Service is not plan- ning to repeat the immunization program of last fall. This year it is offering the injections only to students who request them and are willing to pay a fee of one dollar to help cover the expense, Dr. Forsythe said. "As it turned out last year, the virus which caused the epidemic during the winter was not repre- sented in the immunizing mater- ial of any manufacturer." the Health Service Director declared. He explained that last winter's epidemic was the first one known to be caused by that particular strain of virus, and was apparent- ly not influenced by the standard immunization material given. Pending the development of ex- perience with newer immunizing material and further epidemics, the Health Service offers to stud- ents who request it an injection of the material now available. These injections may be obtained by students without their clinic cards, Dr. Forsythe said. tional convention held early this Fall at the University of Wiscon- sin. Plea For Ratification Welsh will address the rally with a plea for ratification of the NSA constitution, drawn up by delegates to the convention. Weisberg, president of the Stu- dent Legislature, will clarify poli- cies regarding racial discrimi- nation in education, and will pre- sent NSA views on the academic freedom question. A question period will follow the rally, with the University's dele- gates to the constitutional conven- tion on hand to answer queries di- rected to them.

Deadline Is Set For Book Pick-up Studentswho have books at the Student Book Exchange must pick them up by 5 p.m. Friday. All books remaining at the Ex- change after that time will be- come the property of the exchange and will be disposed of immedi- ately. This action is necessary because the exchange must va- cate the League, and no other quarters are available at the present time. They were charged in com- plaints filed at Santa Fe with taking property and records from the project which the FBI said consisted of photographs containing classified informa- tion. Paporello, described as an itin- erant photographer, was taken into custody' at an Albuquerque studio where the federal agents said he was employed prior to his arrest. Thompson was arrested at his photographer's shop in Espanola, a community near Riverside. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover announced the arrests in Wash- ington barely an hour and a half after field agents took both men into custody simultaneously at 3 p.m. (CST). Taken before U. S. Commis- sioner Albert Gonzales at Santa Fe, Thompson pleaded innocent to the Sandia charge, which ac- cused him of taking the pic- tures on May 17, 1946; and pleaded guilty to removing clas- sified 35-millimeter negatives plus some unclassified photos from Los Alamos on Oct. 31, 1945. In Albuquerque, Paporello asked that hearing be continued to next Monday to permit him to obtain counsel, and U. S. Commissioner Owen J. Mowrey set the hearing for 10 a.m. next Monday. Paporello was accused in one court of taking six photographs containing classified informa- tion from Los Alamos on Aug. 12, 1945, and in a second of concealing them. Both men were ordered held un- der $10,000 bond. The FBI said Thompson was in charge of the photographic lab- oratory at Los Alamos until Sept. 10, 1945, when he received an hon- orable discharge. Hoover said Paporello was em- ployed at the Los Alamos project during most of a three year serv- ice with the army and was hon- orably discharged March 7, 1946, with the rank of staff sergeant. Van Antwerp, Jeffries Win PrimaryRace DETROIT, Oct. 8-(IP)-A vet- eran councilman, Eugene I. Van Antwerp, and the incumbent, Ed- ward J. Jeffries, today won the nominations for mayor in unoffi- cial returns from the city's non- partisan primary election. Jeffries trailed his opponent by 16,416 votes, the third successive time in eight years in office that he ran second in the primary. Van Antwerp polled 96,245 votes to 78,829 for Jeffries, who seeks a fifth term at the Nov. 4 election. Their nearest opponent, county auditor George O. Cornell received only 52,462. Tuesday's vote was approxi- mately 265,000, the highest pri- mary total since the record of 330,974 was set in 1937. Council president George Ed- wards, long supported by organ- ized labor, led the city council candidates. Among 18 nominated for nine posts on the council were four incumbents and two Negroes, the latter for the first time in the city's history. City clerk Thomas D. Leadbet- ter won renomination by a land- slide margin over two opponents. Taft, Stassen Predict GOP Victory in '48 Rise in Republican Trend Is Foreseen DES MOINES, Oct. 8-Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio and former governor Harold E. Stassen of Minnesota joined here today be- fore a group of 1,000 Iowa Re- publican party leaders in a pre- diction of Republican victory in next year's Presidential elections. The two political figures, each regarded as the possible Republi- can presidential nominee, shared the spotlight as speakers at an in- formal luncheon gathering of Re- publican state officials, commit- tee members, editors and party workers. Western Trip Taft, said his recent western trip convinced him that the "Re publican trend is growing strong- er every day and that the people are coming back from their wan- derings in the primrose path of New Dealism." The last congress, Taft said, ac- complished four major things. "We ended the war by eliminat- ing all the war-born government regulations except a few that had to be retained; such as rent con- trol and export control. Cut Down Expenses "We cut down government ex- pense by about $3,000,000,000 a year. "We went all out to reduce taxesbbut the President vetoed the two bils we passed. Taft, who was co-author of the Taft-Hartley Labor Act, said it was significant that the Repub- licans in Congress, despite dif- ferencesof opinion, has been able to function as a party unit on fundamental questions. "We restored freedom and equality in labor regulations, bas- ing our whole plan upon a system of free collective bargaining." Stassen reported that his recent trips across the country convinced him "there is a rising tide of pub- lic opinion" toward a Republican victory in November, 1948. He said his views appeared to be more liberal than Taft's on domestic and world policies but he counted it as an "honor to share the platform with him."
