Overwhelming Defeat
Faces Reds in Italy
Sunday, Carey Says
James B. Carey, CIO secretary
treasurer, feels "confident that the
Communists will be overwhelmingly
defeated in Italy” at Sunday’s elec
tion.
He made the statement last night
at a meetinng of the Washington
Chapter, Americans for Democratic
Action, at Pierce Hall.
Mr. Carey, discussing labor’s role
In the European Recovery Program,
said ERP "is the way to avoid war.”
He praised the appointment of Ad
ministrator Paul G. Hoffman but
said it is vitally necessary to have
full labor participation in the new
ERP agency, the Economic Co-op
eration Administration.
"We must make sure,” he said,
“that ERP is not reduced to the
kind of instrument the Communists
claim it is,” an arm of American
big business.
Urges Labor Agreement.
Mr. Carey told the gathering of
about 250 persons that the three
major American labor groups—the
AFL, CIO and railroad orother
hoods—must have some sort of joint
agreement to help in the ERP pro
gram. He pointed out that the
three groups already have met in
Europe with labor representatives
from the Marshall Plan nations.
Discussing the CIO’s part in the
World Federation of Trade Unions,
the CIO official said he favored
continued American participation
along with the Soviet Union trade
union officials. He said it was im
portant that there be continued
"that one lonesome little bridge
between East and West.”
Mr. Carey criticized what he
called the “attitude in Washington
today” that “if you know anything
about Communists or the Commu
nist technique you’re a Commu
nist.”
Golden Talks on Greece.
Another CIO leader, Clinton S.
Golden, told the meeting of his work
as labor adviser to the American
mission in Greece. He said that
Greece is not, as the Communists
claim, run by monarchists and Fas
cists. ' He said the trade unions
there are very free.
The Greek civil war he termed "a
form of scientific sabotage designed
to bleed the country white. ’ He
said the Greek army could deal ef
fectively with the guerrillas if they
did not retreat into Yugoslavia and
Albania to regroup forces.
Mr. Golden said he felt that the
majority of Greeks would favor a
democratic-socialist government if
a vote were taken today.
American aid, he added, is “neces
sary as long as the internal situation
is as disturbed as it is today.”

Negro Editor Quizzes
Robeson on Red Link;
Draws Hot Retort
By lh* A»ociot*d Pr«i
COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 16.—Paul
Robeson, Negro operatic singer, told
a Negro editor, here yesterday it was
none of his "damn business” whether
Mr. Robeson was a Communist.
In a news conference preceding
his speech to a rally for Henry
Wall ace, third-party candidate for
President, the singer gave the reply
to a question by George Lawrence,
managing editor of the Ohio State
News, Negro weekly here.
“The last person in the world I
would expect to ask that question,”
Mr. Robeson added, “would be a
Negro and a representative of the
Negro press. This is no longer a
matter of communism. It’s a matter
of civil rights. Draw your own
conclusions.”
He accused “big money men” of
“Fascist activities” and asked, “Who
could blame a Negro for being a
Communist or anything?”
After the conference, Mr. Law
rence, whose paper opposes a third
party, said:
“We feel that Mr. Robeson and
what he believes do not represent
what the majority of the Negro
people believe. What he says might
appeal to the workers in the cotton
fields, but does not appeal to people
who reason and who know that we
can obtain civil rights under the
American system of government.”
Later in the afternoon Mr. Robe
son made a street speech from a
rented truck near the Ohio State
University campus after university
officials refused him permission to
speak on the campus. Last night
he spoke in Memorial Hall.
City police and sheriff’s deputies
watched the hall closely following
reports that gangs might try to
create a disturbance, but there were
no incidents. •
Mr. Robeson told the rally that
Mr. Wallace “labors for the common
man” and warned against repetition
of such incidents as the invasion of
the home of Frank Hashmall, ex
ecutive secretary of the Franklin
County Communist Party, several
weeks ago.
Over 1,000 people volunteered for
"catch-a-cold” tests at Harvard
Hospital in Salisbury, England.

For B-29 Berlin Sortie
>y the Associated Press

D. Clay denied today he had ordered
a squadron of B-29 heavy bombers,
now visiting Germany, to make a
sortie over Berlin.
. Gen. Clay described as untrue a
report to this effect obtained yes
terday from American Air Force
officers in the western occupation
zone.
The bomber squadron arrived at
Fuerstenfeldbruck yesterday on a
training flight from the United
States.
Motorists May Air
'Gripes' at Session
Washington motorists who believe
District traffic regulations and their
enforcement leave something to be
desired will have the opportunity to
air their views at the third annual
all-day Traffic Court conference to
be held in Municipal Court May 26.
This new feature of the confer
ence, known as a ‘‘gripe session,”
was announced yesterday after a
meeting of conference officials in
the office of Traffic Director George
Keneipp in the Municipal Building.
■nils year the conference will be
under the joint sponsorship of the
Safety Committee of the Junior
Chamber of Commerce and the Dis
trict Bar Association’s Traffic Court
Conference Committee. Charles H.
Burton, who heads both committees,
presided at yesterday’s preliminary
meeting.
Mr. Burton announced that the
conference will be attended by
judges, laywers, police officials and
traffic experts, and that the public
will be invited.
Washington I. Cleveland, director
of the American Automobile Asso
ciation, and George McNeill, presi
dent of the District Bar Association,

Campus 'Politicking'
Sweeps GW as Close
Of Election Nears
Voting in elections at George
Washington University continued
today as the student body worked
itself up into a frenzy of campus
"politicking.”
The polls were to close at 8
o’clock tonight. Campus politicians
were kept busy today, holding ral
lies and button-holing all who
failed to vote yesterday in the first
day’s balloting. Placards spotted the
campus.
Presidential candidates officially
were Bill Warner, editor of the
Hatchet, university newspaper, and
Jim Speaks, Sigma Nu fraternity
leader. The status of Bill Cantwell,
basket ball captain and law school
student, was not as clear.
Council Reversed Itself.
The Student Council ruled that
Mr. Cantwell was not .eligible for
the office because of a provision in
the Student Council constitution
which calls for a candidate to have
held a major office previously. His
backers started a write-in campaign
for him—as his name is not on the
ballot.
The Student Council, headed by
Freemont Jewell, originally held
that he was ineligible—then ruled
that he could be a write-in candi
date—then reversed itself again to
declare he could not rim. Write-in
votes would not be counted, it ruled.
Mr. Cantwell’s backers charged
he was being blacklisted because he
was not a fraternity man.
Called to Stage at Rally.
A rally last night at Lisner Au
ditorium was momentarily halted
as about 400 students took up the
cry for the basket ball captain. He
was called to the stage and then
carried off on the shoulders of sup
porters.
Results of the elections should be
in by late tonight.
Paper's Route Agent Robbed
Roy Smith, 36, of Glenn Dale,
Md., a route manager for the Times
Herald, told police today he was
robbed of $110 by two men 'who
grabbed him while he was unload

a.m. at First and Seaton streets N.W.

Marshall Contempt
Trial in Recess
Government witnesses are sched
uled to begin testimony Monday in
the prosecution of George Marshall,
chairman of the Board of the Civil
Rights Congress, on a charge of
contempt of Congress.
Marshall is being tried for refusing
to produce records of the National
Federation for Constitutional Lib
erties of New York, of which he
was chairman, before the House
Committee on Un-American Activi
ties in April, 1946. The federation
is now defunct.
Justice Richmond B. Keech, yes
terday granted a defense motion to
dismiss a second count, which has
accused the defendant of refusing
to answer a question as to whether
he was connected with the Mar
shall Foundation. The defense con
tended the question had been with
drawn.
Trial of Marshall began yesterday
before a jury of eight men and
four women. The trial was recessed
until Monday, after attorneys had
made opening statements.
Assistant United States Attorney
Charles B. Murray, who is prosecut
ing Marshall, said he expects to
place on the stand as the first Gov
ernment witness, George V. Mc
Devitt, a former investigator for the
Committee on Un-American Activ
ities.
Representing the defendant are
Attorneys Abraham J. Isserman,
Charles A. Horsky and Wilbur R.
Lester.
'Casters' Enable DC-3
To Land Cross-Wind
Spectators at National Airport
yesterday were puzzled and alarmed
to see a heavy, twin-engined air
craft making one cross-wind land
ing after another.
The Douglas DC-3, which is
standard equipment on most air
lines, was using a new landing gear
mounted on swivels. This enabled
the big plane to swing into the
wind while moving along the ground
at a different angle.
The wheels are mounted some
thing like those attached to casters
on a piece of movable furniture.
They have been tested here many
times on light aircraft as part of a
Civil Aeronautics Administration
project, but yesterday's trials were
the first at National Airport with
a heavy airplane.
The Goodyear Aircraft Co., which
is under CAA contract to develop
the swivel gear, demonstrated land
ng and takeoff characteristics with
four airplanes ranging from a light
two-seater to the 21-passenger
transport. Federal aviation officials
and airline technicians were invited
to witness the tests.
The flying was done a 20-mile
wind blowing directly across the
runway. Each airplane made four
cross-wind takeoff and as many
landings under conditions which
ordinarily probably would have in
vited an accident.
'Customer' Sought
In Loss of Nylons
Police today were on the look
out for a man who entered the
Hat Fashion Center, 1111 Seventh
street N.W., yesterday afternoon and
asked to be shown a pocketbook.
The colored man made a deposit
of $1, on the pocketbook, saying
he would return for it later, and
left the store. Police are doubt
ful that the. transaction will ever
be completed. A few minutes after
the "customer” left, 18 pairs of
nylon stock|pgs were missed from
the store counter.
D. C. Tax Line 'Rush'
Fails to Materialize
The “Inevitable” last-minute rush
of taxpayers failed to materialize
yesterday at the District Building.
With the tax office braced tq
receive hurrying hoards of deadline
beaters for the municipal income
and business levies, only 700 or so
had strolled through the lines by
the time the building closed at 4:45
pm. And at that time, no one was
waiting to pay.
The number of last-day fliers was
less than half the figure for other
days this week. About 1,800 persons
brought in their returns and first
half payments Monday. On Tuesday
and Wednesday, the figure dropped
to 1,500.
Despite the* surprisingly light day
yesterday, officials were reluctant to
predict that an unusual number of
District residents had failed to meet
the deadline. They pointed to the
high volume of mailed returns.
Thirty^four bags of unopened mall
were on hand at closing time yes
terday, and officiate said there would:
be many more this morning.
Mailed returns will be considered
on time if they were postmarked
before midnight last night.
The last person to pay his income
tax yesterday at the District Build
ing was James R. Rector, 25, of 213
Mississippi avenue SB. A cable
splicer for the Chesapeake &
Potomac Telephone Co., he puffed
up to the window five minutes before
it closed.
