Public Workers Union
Defends Its Policy
On Foreign Affairs
Lashing out at "certain distorted” i
newspaper accounts of its Atlantic j
City convention, the United Public
Workers of America, CIO, today is
sued a statement defending its con
troversial foreign policy adopted at
the convention last month.
The newly created union made no
mention of charges hurled at it by
a group of disgruntled members
that the organization was “follow
ing the Communist line.” It as
serted, however, that the Atlantic
City convention merely voted its
support of a program "for keeping
the peace.”
It interpreted its resolution
critcizing United States and British
policy toward Russia as a plea for
"friendly co-operation among the
Big Three powers.” The union also
stood by its position that “the
threat of atomic warfare be elimi
nated by placing the bomb under
United Nations control.”
Opposed to Strikes.
A number of UPWA members
have announced their intention to
fight for a reframing of the foreign
policy resolution, one which would
hold Russia at least equally to blame
for dissension in the U. N.
UPWA’s policy stated that no
member or candidate for member
ship would be barred because of po
litical belief. “Like the Constitution
of the United States, our constitution
makes no distinctions among public
employes, all of whom are eligible
to join and hold office without re
gard to sex, color, religion, race or
beliefs,” the statement said.
The UPWA statement, signed by
Abram Flaxer. president, and Elea
nor Nelson, secretary-treasurer, em
phasized that the union “is flatly
and unequivocally” opposed to
strikes in the public service. “There
are no conditions or ‘ifs’ attached to
the no-strike policy in our constitu
tion,” the statement said.
It was stressed, however, that
sometimes strikes do occur when
working conditions become “abso
lutely intolerable” to the employes.
Asserting that the only way to pre
vent strikes lies in correcting the
conditions by negotiation, the union
defended as necessary its adopted
rule which requires that if a local
believes it has exhausted all possible
means of achieving its objectives
and is considering strike action, it
must immediately seek the advice of
the international president and be
guided by such advice or face sus
pension from the union.
Strikes Not Contemplated.
“We can imagine no circumstance
In which a strike against an agency
of the Federal Government would
be sanctioned by the union; it is
not a practical question,” UPWA
said. "Strike threats may, occa
sionally, be expected to arise in
UPWA locals whose members are \
not actually Government workers—j
such as the cafeteria workers in
Washington Government buildings, j
But in every instance the aid and j
advice of the international union i
must be sought by the local before
any action may be taken.”
UPWA concluded its discussion of
Its strike policy by stating: “We are
not only against strikes in the public
service; we assume a responsibility
for preventing them.”
Hawaiian Natives Clash
With Sailors at Waikiki
By the Associated Press
HONOLULU, May 14 —A sailor's
refusal to leave Waikiki Beach when
ordered to by a Hawaiian youth led
to clashes between sailors and na
tives Sunday night, Lt. Comdr. Rob
ert Murphy said yesterday.
When the sailor refused to leave,
Comdr. Murphy said, a gang of na- j
tives attacked him. Three sailors j
came to his aid and a fight resulted, j
The fight was broken up before!
shore patrolmen arrived, Comdr.
Murphy added, and, while some 100
sailors gathered on the beach, there
were no further disorders.
The Navy was unable to confirm
a civilian report that 12 sailors had
been beaten by bands of native
youths.

Greek Plea to Allies
Against King Reported
By the Attociated Prety
LONDON, May 14.—The Moscow
radio today said the Greek Leftist
political coalition EAM had ap
pealed to the Allies to “prevent the
forcible restoration of the monarchy
in Greece, which would result in
:ivil war.”
The broadcast, quoting Athens
advices, said the EAM expressed be
lief that the American and British
assent to a vote September 1 on the
restoration of King George was “a
violation of the agreement of No
vember, 1945” when most of the
3reek parties accepted British For
eign Secretary Bevin’s proposal that
the plebiscite be delayed until 1948.

Information Minister
Quits in China to Take
Shanghai Mayoralty
(y the Associated Press
NANKING, May 14.—Dr. K. C. Wu
resigned today as Chinese informa
tion minister and was named Mayor
of Shanghai in a wholesale shakeup
of that city’s administrative posts.
At the same time Yu Fei-peng,
minister of communications, was re
ported to have resigned his gov
ernmental post and Wong Wen
hao, minister of economic affairs,
resigned his chairmanship of the
important Committee of National
Resources.
Dr. Wu—American educated—suc
ceeds Chlen Tg-chung as the mayor
of China’s largest city. He said his
successor as information minister
would be announced tomorrow.
Shanghai’s vice mayor, Ho Teh
kuei, was transferred to the post of
secretary general, while heads of
sanitary and land departments were
also replaced. The shifts followed
widespread criticism by foreigners
and Chinese over the management
of the city.
Dr. Wu was formerly the Mayor
of Hankow and Chunking. He has
a bachelor of arts degree from
Grinnell College, Iowa, and a Ph. D.
from Princeton.
Gen. Ho Ying-chin, with a blister
ing criticism of the Communists
who long have tried to have him
ousted, yesterday announced that
he would resign by June 1 as chief
of staff and commander in chief
of the Chinese government army.
Gen. Ho, who is 56, said he wras
stepping out to permit "younger
blood” to take over, and that his
successor already had been selected
but could not yet be identified.
There had been rumors that the
Communists insisted on his re
moval from the scene entirely.
Gen. Ho denied that he would be
a delegate to the United Nations
Conference, but said he might visit
the United States later as head of
a Chinese military mission.
The Communists, he said, were
trying to make him the "scapegoat”
for the civil conflict.
Second Hunger Striker
Near Death in Belfast
fty the Associated Press
BELFAST, May 14.—David Flem
ing. a former leader of the outlawed
Irish Republican Army, was report
ed near death today in Belfast pris
on, where he embarked on a hunger
strike 52 days ago.
Fleming’s lawyer, Desmond Harri
man, said the prison chaplain ad
ministered extreme unction to Flem
ing early this morning.
Mr. Harriman added that he and
a fellow atttomey had tried to see
Fleming yesterday, but had been
told by the jail governor that he had
no authority to admit them. Later,
Fleming said, he appealed unsuc
cessfully to the Minister of Home
Affairs.
Fleming’s sister Helen said her
brother’s voice was "only a whisper”
yesterday when he inquired about
the funeral of John McCaughey, an
other former IRA leader who died in
a Dublin prison Saturday after a
similar hunger strike.
Fleming began his strike March
20, but after 25 days broke his fast
for four days. He resumed the
strike April 18 and since then has
eaten only a few vitamin C pills and
occasionally has rinsed his mouth
out with orange juice.
Mr. Harriman said Fleming's pur- j
pose was to try to obtain improved
conditions for 76 fellow IRA mem
bers imprisoned in Belfast, 43 in
Eire and 47 in England.

Housing Bill Reaches
Truman Accompanied
By Priority Complaints
By th« Associated Press
The emergency home building
bill finally reached the White
House today, accompanied by
complaints from housing author
ities about the amount of non
residential construction per
mitted by the Civilian Produc
tion Administration.
Despite the partial freeze of in
dustrial and commercial building
seven weeks ago, the National Hous
ing Agency contends such activity is
being approved by CPA at a rate
which threatens a serious drain on
materials needed for new homes.
Housing Administrator Wilson W.
Wyatt has made quiet but insistent
representations to CPA, officials of
both agencies revealed privately,
asking that the agency tighten its
reins on field men who rule on the
“essentiality” of store, factory and
other nonhousing projects.
To Order Curtailment.
A CPA spokesman, acknowledging
that the volume of approvals is em
barrassingly large, said CPA will
order its field offices to cut down.
About $605,000,000 worth of non
housing construction was approved
as essential in the first four weeks
of the freeze, the CPA spokesman
revealed, as against $67,000,000 worth
denied. The total of approvals in
cludes plant equipment, which is not
strictly construction.
These figures covered operations
only up to April 25, however, and
NHA officials voiced doubt that it
reflected the recent rate of non
housing approvals.
OPA officials, on the other hand,
said it might become necessary to
screen the Federal Housing Admin
istration’s approvals of new dwelling
construction more closely, in order
to conserve materials for factory
construction and other projects es
sential to reconversion. FHA passes
on housing applications as CPA does
upon nonresidential projects.
The National Association of Home
Builders sailed into the controversy,
meanwhile, with a demand that the
existing construction orders be more
strictly enforced to prevent the di
version of residential materials into
other buildings.
Such diversion is the weakest
link” in the chain of supply between
manufacturers and home construc
tors, said the association, now hold
ing a four-day conference with Gov
ernment men here.
“Tens of thousands” of home will:
be left standing half built, an asso-i
ciation statement said, unless the!
Government "takes immediate and
positive action” to speed the supply
of materials for their completion.
The long-deadlocked home-build
ing measure, carrying $400,000,000 in!
subsidies for building supply com
panies to spur their output, sped
through the House yesterday by a
298-to-71 roll call, then romped
through the Senate by voice vote on
its way to President Truman's desk.
Mr. Wyatt hailed it as providing
“some of the basic tools" needed to
meet the goal of 2,700,000 homes in
two years. Previously he estimated
that 3,000 homes a day were being
lost by Congress’ two-month delay.

church in St. Petersburg 40 years
ago.

Nazi and Militarist Literature
To Be Purged by Allies in Reich
By th« Associated Press
BERLIN, May 14.—A purge of
German Fascist and militarist lit
erature, criticized in some Allied
quarters as “akin to the Nazi book
burnings,” has been ordered by the
four-power Allied Control Council.
Destruction of Nazi and German
military memorials of World War I
and n also was directed by the
council, in orders approved by its
Co-ordinating Committee. Many
monuments already have been razed.
“The Americans agreed to the
principle of banning books glorifying
Nazi theories and German military
tradition,” said Miss Vivian Cox, as
sistant to the deputy director of the
American armed forces division, in
discussing the order last night.
She added: “The American fought
this order at the start on the argu
ment that if people wanted to re
tain banned books they would find
places to hide them. So we insisted
either on a law naming specifically
the material to be destroyed or to
leave all decisions to the discretion
of zone commanders. The latter
was agreed upon.”
An American public relations of
ficer, announcing that the order on
literature would be published May
20, disclosed some of its details in
advance.
He said it provides for a purge “to
eradicate in all forms Fascist, mili
tarist and antidemocratic ideas in
Germany through confiscation and
destruction of Nazi literature and
other media of propaganda."
Miss Cox said private libraries
were excluded.
“Text bpoks, magazines, newspa
per files and films containing Nazi
racial theories and other propa
ganda, as well as instructions, maps
and diagrams used for military
training of troops are included in
the list of material to be surren
dered for destruction,” the public
relations officer said the order would
stipulate.
It was just 13 years ago this week
that students in Berlin, Frankfort,
Munich, Breslau and other German
cities made public bonfires of books,
pamphlets and other literature
which they said exemplified “the un
German spirit.”
Civic Group Opposes
Big Rentincreases
A reasonable Increase in commer
cial rents in the District is accept
able, but the Federation of Business
Men’s Associations will fight “the
100 to 500 per cent incerase” being
imposed on some of the commercial
property. Herman Hiser told the
Brentwood Terrace Citizens Associa
tion last night.
Mr. Hiser, a member of the Chevy
Chase Citizens Association and pres
ident of the business men’s federa
tion also said, “We are heading
right toward a depression.” Real
estate values in Washington at pre
sent are amazing he said, and he
cited concerns that have engaged
in business in the District for a
number of years being put out of
business by rent increases.
The organization voted to sup
port the bill extending rent control
to commercial properties, which was
introduced by Representative Barry,
Democrat, of New York.
At the suggestion of Ralph W.
Donnelly, the association voted that
a letter be sent to Representative
McMillan and Senator Bilbo, chair
men of the District Committees of
the House and Senate respectively,
urging that the railroads be forced
to install smoke consuming appara
tus on all coal burning locomotives
in the District, anc’ that all round
houses for these engines in Wash
ington be eliminated.
Fifteen new members were ac
cepted into the association.
Jerome Lynch, president, con
ducted the meeting which was held
at the Oyster Social Club, 1251
Saratoga avenue N.3.
Gerry, Veteran of 24 Years
In Senate, Won't Run Again
ly th« Anor.iat*d Pr»j»
Senator Gerry, Democrat, of
Rhode Island, who has served 24
years In the Senate, announced last
night that he will not “be a can
didate for re-election’’ next fall.
His brief formal announcement
gave no reason.
Senator Gerry has been one of
the chief Democratic critics of the
program of the late President Roose
velt and President Truman. Thomas
Burns, assistant chairman of the
CIO Political Action Committee, an- ,
nounced last week the CIO Amal
gamated Clothing Workers’ Union
would oppose his re-election.
The age requirements for entry
into the Regular Army are 17 to
34 years, inclusive, except for men
now in the Army, who may re-enter
at any age, and for former service
men, depending on length of service.

Vargas' Art Contract
Set Aside by Court
By the Associated Press
CHICAGO, May 14.—Federal
Judge Michael L. Igoe yesterday or
dered set aside the contract be
tween artist Alberto Vargas, creator
of the Varga girl, and David Smart
publisher of Esquire Magazine, on
the grounds that Mr. Smart had
withheld information from Mr.
Vargas.
In his ruling, Judge Igoe asserted,
“Fairness should have been the rule
guiding Mr. Smart when this con
tract was drawn and signed. Smart
knew he was withholding informa
tion from Vargas to induce him to
sign a contract, which if Vargas had
understood he probably would not
have signed.”
Thee decision disposed of one part
of the litigation, leaving a suit for
$200,000 damages against the maga
zine pending. Judge Igoe instructed
Mr. Vargas’ attorney, Earle E. Ew
ins, to draw up the set-aside order.
The artist asked cancellation of the
contract on ground he did not un
derstand its provisions.
Mr. Vargas had testified he did
not understand he was to produce
52 pictures a year under the con
tract. His attorney asserted the ar
tist signed the document because of
“the trusting relationship” between
Mr. Vargas and Mr. Smart.
Mr. Smart’s defense maintained
the artist had ample time to study
the document calling for $1,000 a
month and the 52 pictures a year.
The damage suit asks the $200,000.
asserting that Mr. Smart used one
of the Vargas pictures without the
artist’s signature.
