Steelworkers Decide Today on Whether to File Taft Act Oaths By the Associated Press BOSTON,' May 13. — The CIO Steelworkers convention was sched uled today to take action on wheth er to continue the union’s stand of refusing to comply with the non Communist pledge in the Taft Hartley Act. The steelworkers and National CIO President Philip Murray turned the matter over to the convention after telling tjie nearly 3,200 oele cates that the Taft-Hartley Act is unconstitutional in its requirement nf non-Communist affidavits by union officers. The delegates of the CIO's big gest union—928,000 members—voted yesterday to delay backing any presidential candidate, to fight the third party and to join the na tional CIO in trying to elect at least 100 congress members they favor. A delay in indorsing any presi dential hopeful until after the Democratic and Republican national conventions was voted because “the time is premature.” One commit tee reported locals have sent in mote than 200 resolutions asking draft Eisenhower.” ire ueiegaies, nowever, voted to back the national CIO Political Ac tion Committee and raise nearly a million dollars lor the PAC. The decision was made after the PAC secretary and the steelworkers secretary, David J. McDonald, told them that "the CIO is a potent force in 100 congressional districts. We can elect 34 Congressmen and we can help elect 66 others." Vice President Van A. Bittner of Atlanta blasted the third party as Communist after two delegates. Charles Pizer of Hammond, Ind.,, and Ervin Fleet of Philadelphia, were booed for arguing that the new party “might help us." The convention condemned the third party in a resolution declar ing that it “has no basic support in the ranks of organized labor de voted. to American institutions.” Julius B. Uehlein. a delegate from Lofain, Ohio, moved to keep Com munists out of local union offices and P/esident Murray said the sug gestion would be considered later. Another delegate, John Sargent of Chicago. declared himself as "a supporter of Henry Wallace” and asked if that would make him out of order if the union announces its choice. Mr. Murray replied that "the dele gate knows well" that union policy | ciirf not deprive him of "his con stitutional prerogative to vote for any one he wants to.” Qebate on the question was halted when Delegate John Nash of Pitts burgh announced: "What's the discussion for? In the polls I'll vote for the man I please.” The convention reaffirmed the -teelworkers' opposition to conipul orv peacetime conscription, but eft future policies in the hands of Mr. Murray and the Executive j Board "in view of a passible further worsening of international rela tions.” A number of resolutions ranging from support of the United Nations j plan for partition of Palestine and the European Recovery Program to a demand for civil right legislation were given swift approval by the convention. The union's present negotiations for a social insurance program—re cently outlined by Mr. Murray is a seven-point plan which would cost steel companies approximately 22 ’ cents an hour for each employe— also was approved. Mr. Murray said United States. Steel has offered 2‘2 cents an hour; of social insurance if the union contributes the same amount. The steelworkers’ president an nounced that the union had sent j meat strikers $60,000 after Minne- ; apolis Mayor Hubert H. Humphrey charged that the packers are "try ing to starve out working people.'* j _LOST. _ ANTIQUE PIN. sold with diamonds; lost Saturday. May 8- downtown; sentimental \ajue Reward.

Queen Wilhelmina to Abdicate Sept. 8 After Her Golden Jubilee QUEEN W1LHELMINA. -- ♦— I V, PRINCESS JULIANA. —AP Wirephotos. nx x/\ln nxt nrvil-\nx 1 n ftor clV 1 By the Associated Pres* THE HAGUE. The Netherlands, May 13 —Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands will abdicate in favor M her daughter. Juliana, just after aer golden jubilee. The ailing 67-year-old Queen, sen ior of the world's monarchs and one af the thriftiest, told her subjects resterday in a broadcast from her palate at Het Loo that fatigue and :he complex problems facing the throne persuaded her to turn over royal authority to younger hands. The abdication will be on or about September 8. Princess Juliana will become re ;ent for the second time within a /ear in a simple ceremony tomor ow in the second chamber of the Dutch Parliament. On August 30 Queen Wilhelmina rill reascend the throne for a veek's commemoration of her 50 /ears of rule, and then retire. Queen Wilhelmina will be 68 on August 31.. She ascended the throne September 6, 1898, five days after reaching the required age of 18. 3he succeeded her father. King Wil liam III, on November 23. 1890. *'hen she was 10 years old. Her mother. Queen Emma, ruled as re sent until the coronation. Last October 14 the Queen turned jver her royal functions to Princess Juliana as regent because jf need for a. rest. She reassumed weeks. This week it was announced that Juliana would take over as regent for a second time. Often described as "Holland's Queen Victoria," Wilhelmina. like the English Queen, was called early to the throne, married a German consort, outlived her husband, en joyed a long reign, was a stickler for formalities and set an example for her people. Her investments in Dutch indus trial undertakings were estimated at one time at not less than $20, 000,000. but Wilhelmina often could be seen sitting with her sewing in her unpretentious palace like any other Dutch housewife. In her younger days she frequently bi cycled through the capital. On a holiday trip to Germany she became acquainted with Duke Henry Vladimir of Mecklenburg Schwerin, three years her senior, and they married in 1901. He died in 1934. When Germany invaded Holland in 1940, the Queen spurred her people to a brief but fiery resist ance. She escaped to England ahead of German troops and there set up her court in exile. In fre quent broadcasts she encouraged the underground fight against the Nazis. She returned with the lib eration. Juliana Is 39. She is married to Prince Bernhard and they have four daughters. Red Failure in Near East Seen by House Committee By th« Associated Press Communist efforts to gain control )f the Near East without invasion aave failed, according to a House committee report. As a result, a subcommittee of the House Foreign Affairs Committee ;aid yesterday, there is "no serious danger of immediate Communist ;ontrol” of the oil-rich Near East. But it did not discount possibili ;ies that Russia might decide to nove armies into the area. "The real danger to the Near East :omes from the physical proximity )f the Soviet Union and the Red frmv, particularly to the perimeter itates of Iran and Turkey about vhich especial anxiety must be felt ind not * * * from local Communist activity.” it said. "For the time being, it will by (reference exploit any opportunity .fforded by others, perhaps the iionist crisis or assumed threats by third power, for peaceful infiltra ion of military units. "If situations fail to develop nat irally, they will be manufactured. “It is also well within the realm if probability that physical invasion ('ill take place, with or without pre ext when the Kremlin deems the noment favorable.” LOST.

May 13—President Luigi Einaudi last night refused to accept the resignation of Premier Alcide de Gas peri. Christian Democrat leader, who then announced this government would remain in power. Mr. Einaudi acted shortly after he was sworn into office at Montecitorio Palace as the first President of the new Italian Republic. It was his second official act. His first was to name his predecessor, Provisional President Enrico de Nicola, a Senator for life. Mr. de Gasperi's office said he would make some modifications in his present cabinet, then present it to Mr. Eineudi. Parliament must approve the cabinet later. Mr. Einaudi received Mr. de Gas peri in Quirinale Palace, the Italian “White House.” Presentation of the resignation was a required formality. The two leaders conferred for 40 minutes while 20,000 cheering Ital ians remained outside. Then they appeared before the crowds, who shouted time and again: “De Gas peri! De Gasperi!” Police had difficulty in controlling the crowd, which surged toward the palace. Mr. Einaudi, budget director for i the past year and a governor of the Bank of Italy, had received the oath of office earlier before the combined houses of Parliament sitting in the Chamber of Deputies at Monteci torio Palace where he was elected Tuesday. He received a 21-gun salute and fighter and bomber planes buzzed overhead as he made his tumultuous way from the Chamber of Deputies to his new official residence. Thou sands of Italians—enjoying the noliday—lined the route.

Repatriated Nazi Officers Get Big Sendoff in Wales By the Associated Press BRIDGEND, Wales, May 13.— Kisses, tears and tossed carnations sent 76 former German generals and high officers on their way home to Germany yesterday. The War Office refused to disclose the names of the Germans released, but one was recognized as Kurt Dittmars. one-time top Nazi radio commentator and propagandist. There was a crush of neighborly good-bys irom Welshmen who have become acquainted with the Ger mans during their two-and-a-half year internment. Some of the good ! bys were more than neighborly. One middle-aged woman clung to a prisoner’s hand and kissed him repeatedly as he boarded the train. Another prisoner wept as he kissed a four-year-old girl, brought down to the station by her parents. The Germans will sail for Ger many Saturday. WhattheRussians Are Saying of Us The Moscow radio, broadcasting in English to North America, said: "Reactionary circles in Britain and the United States were not at all interested in the total de feat of German fascism. They only wanted to undermine Ger many’s might so as to put her out of the running as a danger ous rival on the world market. "They built their plans on the resolve to preserve the reac tionary forces in Europe as a support. to themselves. Finally, they hoped to devitalize the So viet Union and weaken its posi tions on the international scene.” I. • • every day to | I DETROIT | MINNEAPOLIS/ST.
