Curran Declares Reds
Would Not Affiliate
With Third Party
By th· Associated Press
NEW YORK, Oct. 3.—Joseph Cur
ran, president of the CIO National
Maritime Union, told delegates to
the sixth biennial NMU convention
late yesterday that establishment of
a third party would not eliminate
the Communist Party.
Mr. Curran, who has led a fight
against what he called "Red influ
ence" in the NMU during the con
vention sessions, made his comment
immediately after Howard-McKen
zle, vice president, had spoken in
behalf of a third party.
"I asked a very important member
of the Communist Party whether, if
we were successful in building a
third party, the Communist Party
Would dissolve and become a part
of the third party," Mr. Curran said.
"He answered, TTiere must always
be a Communist Party because the
Communist Party is the workers'
party.' "
Loyalty Check Attacked.
Mr. McKenzie had urged support
of a third party "if the Démocrate
cannot be influenced to nominate
and support progressive candidates."
He also proposed nationalization of
the shipping ipdustry.
Last night William L. Standard,
NMU general counsel, attacked
President Truman's executive order
for a loyalty check of Government
employes as "the Inauguration of
the revival of the Red hysteria of
the early 1920's—one of the shab
biest chapters of American de
mocracy."
Labor Law Section Challenged.
He said the action suggested that
the American people now "find
themselves in the preliminary stages
of a police state."
This "new crusade," Mr. Standard
said, was designed not only to frus
trate communism, but as "a dragnet
to Include liberal—yes, even con
servatives who are in disagreement
with the foreign policy of the United
States."
The attorney said that the section
of the Taft-Hartley labor law "which
denies to Communists privileges en
joyed by non-Communists Is uncon
stitutional."
Revolt in Nicaragua
Reported Spreading
■y th· Auociatcd Prtu
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Oct. 3.—
The newspaper El Imparcial pub
llsned a story today saying that
"blood Is already running in Man
agua 'streets" and that revolution
was spreading in Nicaragua.
The paper said its story was based
on letters from high Nicaraguan
sources received by Eva Arguello de
Garcia, daughter of Dr. Leonardo
Arguello, who was ousted as Nic
aragua's president last May.
The story said Gen. Melesio Ben
avides, director of the revolutionary
forces, had smashed national guard
patrols in the Departmen tof Chon
tales, killing a lieutenant and 14
men. It added that the revolution
ary movement was growing dally
and that a country-wide commercial
strike was being organized.
Reports of revolution in Nicaragua
circulated widely last month. Gen.
Anastasio Somoza, a former presi
dent and now chief of the Nicara
guan national guard, announced
September 9 that the country was
calm after raiders made a surprise
attack on an army garrison at La
India mine the night before.
September 29, Gen. Somoza an
nounced that .the revolutionary
movement had been crushed,

Refugees Described
As 'Best of Europe'
European displaced persons camps
contain the "best people of Europe"
—men and women who "would con
tribute creditably to the economy of
the United States," Msgr. John
O'Grady of Washington told report
ers at the War Relief Services Na
tional Catholic-Welfare Conference
in New York.
Msgr. O'Grady, who returned
yesterday from a six-month tour
of displaced persons camps in Eu
rope, declared there was "certainly
no evidence of Communism" in the
campe.
"They have seen too much of
Communism and want no part of
it," he declared. Msgr. O'Grady
said he had visited 14 camps in Ger
many, three in Italy and four in
Austria, and had "found these peo
ple are a wide ayvake, Intelligent
group. I have found that they are
tops in crafts and labor."
"The United States is not facing
facts as to how menacing the Eu
ropean political situation is," he
added. "Russia has a better prop
aganda program than we have and
they are gaining."
Describing European industry as
crippled by lack of coal, he said the
continent badly needed a Grand
Coulee or Boulder Dam.

British Tories Predict
Election by March if
Labor Cabinet Splits
By the Associated Press /
BRIGHTON, England, Oct. 3 —
Leaders oi Britain's Conservative
Party declared today that any split
in the crisis-beset Labor cabinet
would force a national election by
next March.
•
An election may come even sooner,
they predict, if there is a recurrence
of anything like the fuel crisis last
winter when homes went unheated
and millions were thrown out of
work by a shortage of coal and
power.
A Conservative member of Parlia
ment, former high-ranking govern
ment officer and still a close adviser
of Winston Churchill, privately ex
plained the view of party leaders
this way:
"Actively Planning for a Change."
"Eight months ago we weren't
even thinking seriously of an elec
tion until the end of the full term
(1950). Now we are actively plan
ning for a change—possibly in two
or three months and certainly not
more than six."
Labor spokesmen have dismissed
similar, less precise forecasts as
"Tory propaganda" and "wishful
thiiikins." But here at Brighton, in
'.he midst of the biggest convention
in the party's history, there is no
mistaking a new air of optimism
among the cautious Conservative
policy makers and the enthusiastic
rank and file delegates.
Riding the crest of this new-found
enthusiasm, Lord Woolton, Conser
vative party chairman, launched an
appeal today for one million pounds
($4,000,000) to fight the next general
election.
Labor Still Confident.
"I believe that the result of the
next general election depends on my
getting it," he declared.
But in the view of Labor leaders
there is little to support the optim
ism of Conservatives.
Prime Minister Attlee's cabinet
shakeup, due for completion within
the next week, has not split Labor's
ranks, they declare. To support
their contention, they also point to
an unbroken string of victories in
20 parliamentary by-elections sine
labor took command of the govern
ment in mid-1945.
Group Formed to Canvass
18,000 Virginia (I. Alumni
Special Dispatch to Tht Star
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Oct. 3
—An organization of regional and
local chairmen and local workers
has been formed by the University
! of Virginia development fund to
• canvass 18,000 alumni for contribu
tions, officials announced today.
The alumni have been grouped
geographically into 50 regions, with
a chairman for each, 16 of them in
Virginia and one for all alumni
overseas. The regional chairmen
ι will comprise a Regiohal CoanA m
assist Admiral William p. Halsey,
fund chairman, in next year's so
licitation.
Clarence R. Nesbitt of New Yorfc
and Sam Pray at Culpeper will serve

at the university.
In the face of rising costs,
S & M again scoops the city
with a value that sounds like
1940. Think of paying this
little for an all-wool, hand
tailored sharkskin suit in your
choice of double breasted, sin
gle breasted or one-button roll,
double breasted. A real oppor- s
tunity to save!
