AF6E Ready to Vote
On Legislative Aims
For 80th Congress
By Joseph Young
Stor Stoff Correspondent
ST. PAUL. Minn.. Sept. 19.—
The national convention of the
American Federation of Govern
ment Employes entered its final
session today as the delegates
prepared to vote favorably by
nightfall on resolutions asking
Congress to grant Federal work
ers another wage raise and to
provide a program “to cushion"
the economic dislocation of
Federal workers who are losing
their jobs during the current
reduction-in-force program.
The wage raise request asks that
Government workers be given pay
boosts to offset rising living costs.
A lump sum dismissal wage to Fed-;
eral employes who lose their job
also is expected to receive the in
dorsement of the delegates.
James B. Burns, president of the!
AFGE, is expected to be re-elected
to another term today. Berneicej
Heffner 4s slated to be chosen sec- :
retary-treasurer of the union.
Main Union Objectives.
Wage raises and action to aid the
many thousands of Government
workers who are losing their jobs
during the reduction-in-force pro-(
gram are considered the main ob
jectives of the union when the 80th
Congress convenes in January.
Resolutions were adopted by the
AFGE during its session last night
calling for the-fiollowing: 1. Optional
retirement with full benefits re
gardless of age after 30 years
of service in the Government. At
present Federal employes have to
reach the age of 60 or 62, depend
ing on length of service, before they
are eligible for retirement benefits.
2. Removal from Government jobs
of persons found to be members of
subversive organizations.
3. Additional congressional ap
propriations to the Civil Service
Commission to permit the agency
to conduct investigations to prevent
Communists and other subversive
elements from obtaining Federal
jobs, as well as weeding out those
already in the Federal service.
President’s Salary Raised.
The convention also voted to raise1
the salary of President Burns from
$6,500 to $10,000 a year.
The convention late yesterday
afternoon heard Civil Service Com
missioner Arthur S. Fleming lay
oown a six-point program to aid the I
hundreds of thousands of Federal {
workers who have been dismissed, i
or will be dismissed from their jobs!
in the months to come.
Mr. Flemming's program con
tained the following features to aid j
displaced Federal workers:
1. All dismissed workers receive
either unemployment compensation
benefits or a dismissal wage. "In
this connection,’’ Mr. Flemming j
said, "Federal employes continue to
be a group set apart.” There is no!
reason why, on this particular point.!
they shouldn't be treated in the
same manner as persons dismissed >
from private employment. We will!
continue to urge that Congress take
such action.”
Should Attempt to Find Job.
2. When a civil service career em
ploye is reached for reduction ini
force, the agency in which he is!
employed should do everything
within its power to place him else
where in that agency, irrespective of
geographical or other considerations.
3. When the agency is unable to
place such career employes, the
Civil Service Commission should
take each individual case and do
everything within its power to place;
the career man elsewhere in the
Federal service.
4. Each Federal department and!
agency should establish effective |
working Relationships with the
United States Employment Service
in order to do everything possible to
help displaced Government em
ployes find jobs in private industry.
Reinstatement List.
5. Each department and agency
should establish a reinstatement list
for its displaced civil service em
ployes and persons should be placed
on this list in the reverse order of
their retention preference credits.
6. Career employes with 25 years
or more of service who lose their
jobs should be permitted to draw a
retirement annuity irrespective of
age.
Summarizing his program, Mr.
Flemming declared, "these employes
have given their Government faith
ful service and the least the Gov
ernment can do is to take every step
possible to cushion the blow for
them when they are dismissed."
Mr. Fleming also reiterated his
position that Government employes
are entitled to another pay raise to
pace wiui me rise in me cost
of living” and again made it plain
that ‘Communists, Fascists, Ku
Kluxers and those who believe in
the Nazi philosophy cannot be tol
erated in the Government service”,
"Let’s do everything we can to
keep such persons out of Govern
ment in the first place, and if they
do get in, let’s make sure that they
are invited to leave in no uncertain
terms,” Mr. Flemming told the
cheering delegates. Mr. Flemming
also called for revision of the salary
Schedules of the classification act,
declaring that application of the
sliding scale percentage increase
granted during the pay acts of 1945
and 1946 had thrown out of line the
relationships which formerly existed
between jobs. He also called for the
lifting of the *10,000 Federal pay
ceiling to a new *154)00 maximum.

In Alienation Suit
A $50,000 damage suit has been
filed in District Court against an
Englishwoman, identified only as
“Nora Doe,” in behalf of 11-year
old James Edler, jr., who charged
that she alienated the affections of
his father, Lt. Col. James Edler.
Col. Edler, who has been staying
at the Dorchester House Apart
ments, is described in the suit as
having played an important part in
breaking up cigarette black market
activities in Paris while with the

reau.
The suit, brought through the,
boy's mother, Mrs. James Edler of
Chicago, stated that Col. Edler has
not seen his son or wife since he!
returned to the United States last
December or January and that the
defendant, “Nora Doe,” was the
cause of his remaining away. The
suit says the defendant also is in
Washington.
Attorney Cyril S. Law'rence and
Chicago attorneys filed the suit yes
terday. Mr. Lawrence said the de
fendant is an attractive brunette in
her 30s.

to have been written by Col. Edler,
to his son. The petition states that
the son was proud of his father and
disappointed by failure to receive
certain war trophies which he had
expected hie fathe^ to give?9fcn.
told Air Mass and Snow
Moving on Midwest
By th« Associated Brest
CHICAGO, Sept. 19—A cold air
mass which was expected to bring
subnormal temperatures to the
Midwest generally by the week end
moved slowly down the Rocky
Mountain slope today, scattering
snow on Wyoming and Western
Nebraska.
The cooler weather will be fol
lowed by rains in some sections of
the Mississippi Valley at tempera
tures generally 10 to 15 degrees or
more below normal, the Weather
Bureau said.
The cold front moved southward
from Canada yesterday, leaving 11
inches of snow at Butte, Mont.,
and driving the mercury down to
47 degrees at Denver, 31 degrees
under the previous day's high there.
Another day of above normal
temperatures, however, was expect
ed for the States east of the Mis
sissippi today with temperatures as
high as 85 degrees.
San Francisco and Los Angeles
hoped for relief from the warmest
weather of the year. A high of 87
at San Francisco yesterday was the
warmest September 15 in seven
years, while the 97 at Los Angeles
was the highest reading there since
October 3, 1945.
Panama exported nearly 1,350,000
bunches of bananas in the first

Praise of Col. Silvester
By British General
Is Offered to Inquiry
A transcription of a trans-Atlantic
telepohne conversation with a high
British army officer was introduced
yesterday before the military court
of inquiry investigating tne demo
tion of Col. Lindsay McD. Silvester,
Washington officer, The Star was!
told today.
The transcription was submitted
while Gen. Omar N. Bradley was
testifying, acocrding to Samuel T.
Ansell, counsel for Col. Silvester.
Gen. Bradley, it was said, testified
that Field Marshal Montgomery of
the British Army had said that Col.
Silvester, who had been transferred
to the British forces in Holland late
in 1944, lacked the necessary quali
fications for leadership of an ar
mored division.
Despite this, Mr. Ansell pointed
out, Gen. Sir Richard O'Connor,
British tank corps commander under
whom Col. Silvester served, hand
written to Col. Silvester praising him
for his work.
To substantiate his point, Mr.
Ansell phoned Gen. O’Connor in
London. He said the British officer
repeated his praise of Col. Silvester
and said that his letter was written
in “all sincerity.”
Col. Silvester, who lives at 1804
Thirty-seventh street N.W., identi
fied the transcription and a subse
quent letter from Gen. O'Connor.
Col. Silvester, who was in com
mand of the 7th Armored Division
with the temporary war rank of
major general, was relieved of his
command and demoted to his regu
lar rank of colonel in October, 1944.
His division had taken part in the
American offensive across France
after D day, but he was transferred
to the British forces when his outfit
was halted by the Germans before
Metz.
According to Mr. Ansell, the accu
sations of a “lack of aggresiveness”
against Col. Silvester were based on
“hearsay and gossip.” Col. Silvester
requested the court of inquiry. Mr.
Ansell said, to “clear his record.”
Friendship Citizens
Told of ’Chest’ Needs
The war on the home front against
poverty, disease and the infirmities
of old age must go on, A. J. Knott,
building superintendent of the
YMCA, told the Friendship Citizens
Association last night In a plea for
contributions to the Community
Chest Federation.
The meeting was held at the Jan
ney School, Wisconsin and Albe
marle streets N.W.
“The need by the community of
the neighborhood houses, children’s
home, hospitals and facilities for the
crippled, blind and aged which the
Community Chest Federation helps
support has never been greater,” Mr.
Knott said, adding that the cost of
maintaining these services has gone
up with the rise in the general price
level.
Tie urged his audience to give “all
you can” in the federation's drive,
which opens October 22.
A request thtf^, the Government
“police the skyways ac thjsjr «o
the dty streets” was made by E? L.
Bachschmid, 4405 Wlndom place
N.W., who disclosed that low flying
airplanes are frightening children
in his neighborhood. The associa
tion urged the Government to es
tablish the necessary rules and reg
ulations to prevent low flying.
A committee, consisting of Saylor

Myer was appointed to study the
proposed extension of Appleton
street from Thirty-sixth street N.W.

33 Airlines Form Unit
To Improve Operation
Of Airport Terminals
Faced with growing criticism from
the traveling public, 33 airlines in
the Air Transport Association yes
terday moved to improve service
and reduce costs at several airport
terminals by taking over their op
eration on an experimental basis.
Most of the terminals at present
are operated by municipalities.
Formation of a corporation to
carry out the project at airports to
be selected later was authorized by
the association yesterday. Details
will be worked out after directors
of the corporation have been se
lected, it was said.
Action was taken after a survey
undertaken for the association by
Joseph D. McGoldrlck, former New
York City controller, of terminals
at Chicago* Detroit, Memphis,
Peoria and Denver.
Mr. McGoldrlck reported facts
already known to travelers whose
difficulties in obtaining space on
crowded airplanes have been further
complicated by unsatisfactory lobby
conditions, poor service, inadequate
restaurants and surface transporta
tion and jammed telephone switch
boards.
Mr. McGoldrick found present
costs high for operation of ground
facilities, and suggested the airlines
conduct certain services jointly in
stead of individually to avoid dupli
cations.
The ATA yesterday established a
policy of admitting to membership
scheduled airlines newly certified
by the Civil Aeronautics Board, and
added five feeder airlines to the
membership.
Atomic Secret Impossible
To Retain, Randolph Says
Representative Randolph, Demo
crat, of West Virginia told 300
members and guests of the Dale

stitute at the Statler Hotel last
night that it would be impassible
for the United States to keep the
secret of the atomic bomb.
Pull productivity is the answer
to talk of a third world war. the
chairman of the House Civil Serv
ice Committee said.
“Stay on the job is the challenge
every American must accept," he
said. "Otherwise we face only
chaos and despair. If you contin
ually talk war you’ll have it.”
Mr. Randolph urged consolidation
of the War and Navy Departments
into a Department of Defense and
creation of a Department of Peace
“to allow America to lead the world
itt a just and lasting peace.”'
A feature of the dinner was pres
entation of gifts by instructors of
the Leadership Training Institute
to various members of the courses
and guests.
Chief Justice Bolitha J. Laws of
District Court introduced Mr. Ran
dolph. The program, first of the

PAC Launches Attack i
On James Roosevelt
For Indorsing Warren
ly th» 4»lociot#d ?r«n
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 19 —
James Roijievelt, eldest son of the
late President, found himself in a
tempest of criticism today while
essaying his first big political ven-,
ture.
As the Democratic chairman in a
State where candidates can cross
party lines, he replied to questions
put at a press conference Tuesday
by saying he personally would vote
for Gov. Warren, a Republican
seeking re-election. Mr. Roosevelt
pointed out that Gov. Warren, who
cross-filed, also was the candidate
of the Democratic party.
Richard Lynden, chairman of the
Northern California CIO-PAC, let
fly with an angry outcry on hearing
of Mr. Roosevelt’s remarks.
"When Mr. Roosevelt says he will
vote for Warren, he obscures the
true nature of the Warren candi
dacy and blurs the dividing line be
tween the reactionaries and the
forces of progress,” Mr. Lynden said.
'Mr. Roosevelt did not have to say
he would vote for Warren to make
clear that he does not support the
Communist candidate, Archie
Brown, or the Prohibitionist, Henry
Schmidt. There was no reason for
him to feel bound to vote for any
candidate for Governor.”
Mr. Lynden said the “situation”
created by Mr. Roosevelt's comment
warranted a careful examination by!
the California CIO Council and its;
Political Action Committee next
week.
Last night, the San Francisco
chapter of the National Citizens Po
litical Action Committee decided to
make no indorsement for Governor
but voted favorably for a slate which
included Will Rogers, Democrat, for
Senator.
Mexico Removes Censors
MEXICO CITY, Sept. 19 UP).—

ciated Press’ receipt or dispatch of

Russia Faces Defeat
Dn Balkan Vote at U.N.
Session Tomorrow
By the Associated Press
LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y., Sept.
19—After 10 Inconclusive and
wearying sessions on the Soviet
Ukraine's complaint against Greece,
the United Nations Security Coun
cil stopped for breath today before
plunging into a series of votes on
he turbulent Balkan situation.
The next session was set for 2
p.m. tomorrow, at which time Rus
sia faces defeat on the basis of the
stand taken by the 11 delegates so
far.
Three formal motions were on the
table, with a fourth expected from
the United States, as Chairman An
drei A. Gromyko of Russia called off
the flowing debate yesterday and
advised delegates to get ready for
the balloting.
U. S. Makes “Suggestion.”
While delegates have had almost
a month to decide on the charges
that Greece, with the presence of
British troops a principal factor,
threatens peace in the Balkans,
speculation still centered around the
form of the proposal to be made by
the United States.
In a ' suggestion” to the Council,
United States Delegate Herschel V.
Johnson yesterday raised the ques
tion of naming a committee to study
rorder incidents along Greece's en
ire northern frontier, which would
akc in Albania, Yugoslavia and Bul
garia. It still was open to question
whether he would call for such a
itudy here or ask that representa
;ives actually visit the Balkans when
le formalizes the proposal.
The motion having the widest sup
port so far was one by Paul Has
uck of Australia which would have
the Council merely pass on to the
lext item on the agenda, thus in
?ffect killing the Ukraine complaint
Five nations have said they would
support this plan, with seven needed
lor passage, while four others have
taken no direct stand. Only Russia
ind Poland have flatly opposed it.
veto Move rossioie.
There remained the possibility
that Mr. Gromyko might contend
that motion was a substantive, and
not procedural, move and thus sub
ject the veto.
The voting situation was confused
by remarks from some delegates
that they would support Mr. IJas
luck and at the same time reserve
their right to back one or two of
the other proposals which called
for action.
The preliminary lineup on the
three resolutions now before the
council was as follows:
1. Motion by Russia: This motion
would have the Council order Greece
to cease “threatening peace" in the
Balkans. Russia and Poland are the
only countries which have sup
posed it.
Plan Has Backing.
2. Motion by Australia: This mo
tion would have the Council pass on
to the next item, in effect wiping
out the complaint but technically
keeping it on the agenda. Australia.
Brazil, the Netherlands, Great
Britain and China have indicated
support: France and the United
States have said they might ap
prove ; Mexico and Egypt have taken
no stand, apd Russia and Poland
have fought it vigorously.
Motion by the Netherlands: This
motion would have the Council ap
peal directly to the government of;
Greece, Albania, Bulgaria and Yugo
slavia, without accusing any of them*
to take ifnmediate steps to halt
" * jKmmm -S
ARRESTED BY TITO—Arch
bishop Alojzijc Stepinac, who
is being held by Premier Mar
shal Tito’s government on a
charge of “crimes again
the people.’’ The archbishop
heads the Roman Catholic
Church in Yugoslavia. The'
arrest of the prelate was be
lieved to have resulted from
testimony of Ivan Schalic, his
secretary, allegedly linking
him with the Ustachi, a ter
rorist organization of the war
time puppet regime, and op
posing the present govern
ment. This picture, from a
magazine, was described as

gress February 22, 1942.

border incidents. The proposal was
put on the floor late yesterday and
the Netherlands. Australia, France
and Great Britain indicated ap
proval. Again Russia and Poland
have taken an opposite stand.
Call Charges Unsubstantiated.
The United States, Great Britain,
Australia and the Netherlands have
consistently referred to the Ukraine's
charges as “unsubstantiated” and it
appeared that none of these nations
would support a plan that did not
widen the scope of any inquiry to
include Greece's three northern
neighbors.
Some delegations feared another
barrage of Russian vetoes. During
dispute on action over Franco Spain,
Mr. Gromyko exercised that right
three times in one bitter session. It
was reported authoritatively that a
nondelegate had approached 'Mr
Gromyko recently with a “com
promise” in this case and had beer
turned down flatly with the assertior
that Russia would adhere to the
same stand which she took in the
Franco question: All-or-nothing.

Controversial Plan on
Copyright Authority
By fh# A«ociot#d Pr#«t
NEW YORK. Sept. 10.—A special
committee of the Authors' League
today had before It for considera
tion the controversial plan for an
American authors' authority, a
proposed copyright repository which
has been described by a spokesman
for the American Writers’ Associa
tion as “a gigantic monopoly for
the control of the Nation's think
ing and writing."
The council of the Authors’
League yesterday appointed the fol
lowing committee to make a "care
ful study” of the plan: Elmer Rice,
president of the Authors’ League;
Richard Rodgers, president of the
Dramatists' Guild; Christopher La
Parge, president of the Authors'
Guild; Peter Lyon, vice president
of the Radio Writers’ Guild, and
a representative of the Screen
Writers’ Guild, to be named later.
James M. Cain, novelist and
movie writer, broached the plgn
for the authority, which would act
as a clearing house and agent for
writers in "leasing” their material
and would "represent all authors in
the disposition of the rights to their
literary works.” The Screen Writers’
Guild has approved the plan.
Mr. Rice, replying to allegations
made by the American Writers’
Association, said "in my opinion it
is extremely unlikely that the league
or any of its guilds • * • will adopt
a»y plan which would entail a sur
render by authors of their copy
rights, or the setting up of any
administrative official or board who
would have arbitrary or dictatorial
powers, or that would tend to place
any restrictions upon freedom of
thought or expression, or create a
monopolistic control that would
deprive any author of his means of
livelihood.”
The charge that the authority
would be a “gigantic monopoly” was
made by Novelist Rene L. Kuhn,
who was scheduled to meet yester
day with Mr. Rice, but declined to
attend when she said he refused
permission for her to be accom
panied by the American Writers'
Association counsel. Louis Waldman.
