Invasion Peril Rumor
Part of Nerve War,
Greek Official Says
ly th« Allocated Pre&»
ATHENS, Sept. 18.—A spokes
man for the Ministry of Defense
said today that reports and ru
mors that Greece was threatened
by invasion were part of a ‘ war
of nerves."
Information compiled by the in
telligence service of the high com
mand. the spokesman said, has
revealed nothing to indicate that
Greece is facing imminent attack.
A qualified Allied source had said
last night that he had received
information that an invasion "may
be expected within two days." The
source of this information was not
divulged.
iAmerican correspondents at i
Athens reported the Greek Army
along the northern frontier was
jittery and fearful of an in- j
vasion. The correspondents said
Greek commanders reported they
were outnumbered and lacked
equipment.)
U. N. Charges Prepared.
An authoritative informant said
the Greek government was prepar
ing to present charges to the United
Nations that armed leftist bands
operating in Northern Greece were
being supplied by northern neigh
bors of Greece. Three countries
border Greece on the north—Al
bania, Yugoslavia and Bulgaria.:
Evidence to back up such charges is
being compiled, the source said.
Vice Premier Stylianos Gonatas
said last night he had received a
dispatch from the governor general
of Epirus stating that a band of 400
armed men coming from the direc
tion of the Albanian border had at
tacked the Greek village of Zacha- j
) rochori and killed about half the
garrison of 25 gendarmes and sol
' diers. Reinforcements were sent,*
the Vice Premier reported.
Recently the Greek Ministries of
Press and Public Order said bands
of expatriates in Yugoslavia and1
Albania were camped near the bor
der and were preparing to re-enter i
Greece. Some of these bands were
estimated at 4,000 or 5,000 men.
Leftists Shift Operations.
It has been noted that leftist i
bands have shifted their operations
largely from Macedonia in the north
to the rich plain of Thessaly, far-1
ther south and athwart the main
lines of communication between;
Athens and Salonika, where British'
troops are based.
An Allied observer said any at
tempt to sever communications
might be linked to a plan for bands;
to cross the Yugoslav or Albanian1
borders into Greece.
Allied sources recently said they
did not like the efforts being made
to mine the roads linking Athens
with the north.
VisasDeniedYugoslav
Visitors as Reds
ly th« Associated Press
Lincoln White, State Department)
press officer, said today that an
eight-man Yugoslav delegation to
the American Slav Congress in New
York had been refused an American
visa '"because they are Communists."
Mr. White told a news conference
the American Embassy in Belgrade
refused to give the delegates per
mission to enter the United States
because the American immigration'
law forbids entry by Communists!
and those advocating the overthrow;
of government by force.”
He said the Yugoslav delegates;
could be permitted entry if the
Yugoslav government designates
them as government officials for the
conference.
Czechoslovakia, Poland and Rus
sia have made their delegates offi
cial, government representatives.
The Yugoslav delegates have sent
messages to the congress chairman,!
Leon Krazicki. terming the refusal!
of visas "an unfriendly act directed
not only against the people of j
Yugoslavia and Slavs in general, but;
also against the peace-loving and
democratic peoples of the world.”

Buckingham Palace Unionized;
220 Servants Win Pay Raise
ly th« Associated Press
LONDON. Sept. 18.—Princess Eliza
beth's maid carries a union card
now and King George Vi's valet has
a personal interest in next month's
trade union congress because Buck
ingham Palace has gone union 100
per cent except for titled func
tionaries, the clerical staff and the
sentry in the box.
The news that all 220 servants of
the domestic staff at the King's
London residence have become
members of the Civil Service Union
was reported in the September issue
of the union paper, Municipal and
General Workers' Journal, which!
said the wage scale at Buckingham
Palace had been increased £1 <$4>j
a week through collective bargain
ing with the Labor Ministry.
Union officials said, however, there
would be no attempt to enforce a i
"closed shop" at the palace. “Per
suasion" will be used on any new!
employes, but they will not be barred
if they refuse to join up. it was
explained
“Union officials said the union now
is working to organize the staff of
Windsor Castle and Marlborough
House, the London home of Queen
Mother Mary, while organization
campaigns are planned later at Bal
moral. in Scotland, and Sandring
ham, the King s country home. The
organization campaign at Bucking
ham took five months.
Previously, the only trade unionist
known to have been employed at the
castle was a maid who worked for
the Prince of Wales before he be
came King, union officials said.
One of King George's footmen al
ready has been elected delegate to
the London Trades Council. Palace
officials said they had no comment
on the unionization of the royal
household staff and the British
press displayed little interest in
the story.

until next February 15, and some j
of the contracts with the big auto- J
mobile producers still have some!
time to run. But the CIO reopens
its wage agreement with the Chrys
ler Corp. next month and new pay
demands already are widespread in
other industries.
Some members, notably those
representing labor, of Mr. Steel
man’s Advisory Committee, feel that
the Wage Stabilization Board should
be abolished. CIO President Philip
Murray and AFL President William
Green have called for it during the
current maritime wage dispute.
Apparently, Mr. Steelman will be
faced ultimately with the decision of
whether to continue an effort toward
wage stabilization and, if so, on
what basis.
In any event, it is said, any new
policy evolved must take into ac
count the sharp price increases of
recent weeks. It is held likely that
the wage floor will be pushed up
ward at least 11 per cent. An
nouncements of price increases have
been a daily occurrence at OPA,|
operating under new control law.
Mr. Truman spoke personally to

Besides Mr. Taylor, members of
the Wage-Price Subcommittee are

Soviet Appeasement
Assailed by Green
At AFGE Session
By o Staff Correspondent of The Star
ST PAUL. Mfnn., Sept. 18— Wil
liam Green. President of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, last night,
placed the AFL squarely behind a
foreign policy of “nonappeasement"
of Russia as he expressed by impli
cation his criticism of Secretary of
Commerce Wallace for the latter's
position in regard to the Soviet
Union.
In addressing the banquet of the
AFL American Federation of Gov-j
ernment Employes Mr. Green did
not mention Mr. Wallace by name,
but those at the dinner had no doubt;
the AFL chief had Mr. Wallace in
mind.
Speaking of the Paris Peace Con- j
ference and the attempts to obtain'
lasting peace. Mr. Green declared:
"One of the disappointing develop
ments that has come out of it all is
that we find here in the United
States men occupying responsible
positions taking the side of Russia
against our own country. That is
disappointing to say the least to any
one of us. The AFL is not in accord
with such a policy, for we are for
America first.
"World peace cannot be based on
suspicion if the nations of the world
are to live permanently in friendship
and co-operation. They must learn
to understand and trust each other.
Under no circumstances must time
be lost in obtaining a showdown
with Russia. If she sincerely wants
peace, the democratic nations of the
world will be overjoyed and will ac- '■
cord her the most liberal treatment,!
but if Rus^a is merely trying to
build up to another war, it is much
better for the world to know' about
it in time to prevent it by cour
ageous action now. We hope and
pray the statesmen in Paris will
heed our advice and warning."
Mr. Green attacked "the policy of;
appeasement,” declaring, "look what'
happened when Chamberlain triedj
to appease Hitler."

New York Hotel Shortage
Is Called Worst in History
ly th® Associated Press
NEW YORK. Sept. 18.—What
hotel men call the worst hotel crisis
in New York history was disclosed
today by a survey of hotels, YM and
YWCA's and even Turkish baths.
The Travelers' Aid Society said
the influx of visitors to the city had
gone "out of control," and that large
, hotels were booked solid for a month.
; small hotels for at least a week,
Turkish baths were being used and
persons even were seeking refuge in
subways and railroad stations.
One spokesman said "the trouble
seems to be, now that the war is
over, that foreign business is picking
I up fast while the wartime domestic
business hasn’t leveled off.”
Hotels, whose spokesmen say they
have madfe every effort to find ac
commodations for customers, said
the influx was ruining the validity
of their reservations.
Persons Who have booked rooms
weeks ahead arrive to find the per
son in the room cannot leave be
cause he has no place to go. While
they have re-inaugurated the war
time five-dav limit, hotels said they
did not bodily eject guests.
42 Per Cent of Goal
Of Chest to Be Asked
Of Federal Workers
Government workers will be asked
to contribute 42 per cent, or $1,790,
000, of the 1946 Community Chest
Federation goal of $4,200,000, it was
announced yesterday at a pre
campaign meeting of 88 heads of
Federal departments and agencies.
The individual goals of each
agency and department, arrived at
‘‘after sweat, tears and almost
bloodshed.” will be announced today
or tomorrow, according to Edward
H. Foley, jr„ Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury, who heads the Gov
ernment unit of the Chest organiza
tion.
Mr. Foley expressed his confidence
in the ability of the unit to meet
the quota and said he was sure
“volunteers of the unit will stress
the obligation of each Federal
worker to the community of the
Nation’s Capital
Herbert L. Willett, executive di
rector of the federation, reported
that average salary increases in the
Government have amounted to $780
in the past three years and empha
sized the importance of informing
the public that the goal of $4,200,000
is not enough to meet the total
needs of all 125 agencies to be sup
ported by campaign receipts.
The first meeting of the entire
Government unit will be held in the
interdepartmental auditorium on
October 7. The drive gets under way
October 22.
William Gilks, manager of the
unit, said about 4,000 solicitors al
ready have been appointed in va
rious Government agencies and
eventually there will be 12,000.

3 Trucking Locals Sign
Pacts in New York,
Starting Food Delivery
ly th® Associot«d •r***
NEW YORK. Sept. 18—Trucks
carrying food to empty stores
and newsprint for newspapers
rumbled through New York
streets today after operators
whose trucks had been strike
bound since August 31 signed
individual pacts with three
striking AFL teamsters’ union
locals.
As Mayor William O'Dwyer pre
dicted that local truck operations
i would return to normal "well be
fore the end of the week.” union
leader's reported that 2,925 of the
15.000 truck drivers had been in
structed to return to work after
456 employers signed individual
agreements.
The contracts awarded the prin
cipal classification of drivers $71.40
for a 40-hour work week. The old
scale was $64 for a 44-hour week.
Compromise Approved.
i
The opening wedge in the re
sumption of movement of com
modities came yesterday when the
membership of Local 807—key unit
in the dispute—approved a com
promise plan embodying the new
increases advanced by H. C. Bo
hack & Co., a chain food store,
and Daniels & Kennedy, newsprint
truckers.
Approval by Local 807, which has
12.000 members, was binding on the
3.000 members of Local 282 and
Local 816 who had agreed to ac
cept any plan approved by the
larger body.
Within an hour after a mass meet
ing of Local 807, roared its approval
of the compromise pay plan with
cries of "let ’em roll," 289 employers
operating nearly 2,000 trucks had
signed the agreement.
The truckers went on strike to en- j
force demands for a 30 per cent;
wage boost and a shorter work week.
Employers offered a flat $3 a week
raise which was rejected.
Formula Rejected.
Joseph M. Adelizzi, spokesman for
j the Motor Carriers Association of
New York, who claimed to represent
about 90 per cent of the truck op
erators in the metropolitan area,
1 said his wage scale committee had
rejected the formula as “exorbi
j tant.”
The operators who signed indi
vidually. however, hastened back to
their headquarters with armloads of
clearance placards: "Signed up with
Truck Drivers Union, Local 807, IBT,

stressed that the AFL will throw
its resources and facilities behind

work for the Government,” Mr.

done.”

Democrats Nominate
Snow in Connecticut;
Bowles Edged Out
By Associated Pr*»i
HARTFORD, Conn.. Sept 1*.—Lt.
Gov. Wilbert Snow. 62. English
professor end poet, won the Demo
cratic nomination for Governor yes
terday after a last-ditch battle put
on by Chester Bowles, wartime OPA
head, and three other candidates.
Mr Bowles made a close race of
it. receiving 455 votes from the 1.246
delegates at the State convention.
Mr. Snow polled 525 votes. 99 less
than the necessary majority, but
leader after leader immediately
swung to him as the results were
announced.
Mr. Bowles ended the fight b’
taking the platform and presenting
the motion that made Mr. Snow's
nomination unanimous.
After the feverish gubernatorial*
fight the unopposed nomination of
Joseph M. Tone of New Haven,
former State labor commissioner,
for Senator came as somewhat of
an anticlimax. Mr. Tone, a United
States labor consultant, will oppose
Republican Gov. Raymond E. Bald
win.
During his campaign for the nom
ination. Mr. Bowles, an Essex resi
dent, promised “all-out support’’ to
the successful candidate in the event
of his own defeat.
Mr. Snow's support came mainly
from the rural districts, most big
city delegations favoring Mr. Bowles.
Mr Snow, who had predicted he
would win if he didn't become the
victim of "any star chamber, smoke
filled room stuff,” said in his accep
tance speech that last week's Re
publican convention, at which con
tests were eliminated before the bal
loting began, was "a gathering of
automatons" and was "stamped with
the image and superscription of the
Kremlin.”
The other candidates were Thomas
J. Dodd of Lebanon, American pros
ecutor at the Nuernberg war crime
trial, 108 votes in the unofficial tab-,
ulation; Mayor John S. Monagan n:
Waterbury, 96, and Alfred N. Phil
