Eaton Sees Continued j
Bipartisan Policy and
Urges Role for House
Chairman Eaton of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee predicted
today the bipartisan foreign policy
would continue if the Republicans
win the presidential election.
The New Jersey Republican, who
joined with Senator Vandenberg in
championing that policy when the
GOP took control in Congress, came
i out, however, in favor of giving the j
House equal responsibility with the;
Senate and the President in the
shaping of foreign policy.
That would imply a constitutional
change in fhe Senate's treaty-mak
ing power, although Mr. Eaton did
not go into details.
All Must Give Support.
Asked if he thought the bipartisan
approach to foreign affairs would
continue if the Republicans win this
fall. Mr. Eaton replied:
! "Yes, and my reason is that no
foreign policy will be successful un
I less it has the support of both
parties, of both the executive and
legislative branches of the Govern
ment and of a majority of the
people.
"This issue transcends all pica
yune colloquialisms of party poli
tics.”
Would Strengthen House.
He added that his one objective
is to have all branches of the Gov
ernment work together in develop
ing a strong an continuous foreign
policy. To accomplish that the
House must be "moved up into the
front ranks with the Senate and
the Executive," he said.
Mr. Eaton told newsmen he was
not informed sufficiently to pass
judgment on recent developments
indicating friction between Yugo
slavia and the USSR. He suggested
two possibilities: A real revolt
against domination by Moscow, and.
secondly, that it may be an effort
by Moscow to find a reason to move
armed forces into Yugoslavia and
eventually gain access to the Med
iterranean.
He called the press conference to
review the work of his committee
; during the recent session.

relations with Yugoslavia or face
the consequences.
Poles Back Cominform.
Polish Communist leaders in War
saw approved unanimously the'
Cominform's censure of Tito. The
1 Polish government appears to re
gard the Cominform's rift witn the
Yugoslavs as purely a party matter
The Cominform early last week
accused Tito and his aides of devi
ating from Marxism and of pursu
ing a hateful policy toward Russia.
Yugoslav Communists noisily de
fended themselves and kept up a
running fire of reports of support
for Tito from Communist elements
within Yugoslavia and from the na
tion's diplomats abroad.
However, a Communist leader in
! the Yugoslav zone of the free terri
tory of Trieste was reported to have
sided with the Cominform. The re
port was carried by the Trieste Com
munist newspaper H Lavoratore.
Albania Acts to Prevent
Invasion by ‘Enemies'
MOSCOW. July 7 (/P).—Tass said
in a dispatch from Tirana, Albania,
today that the Albanian govern
ment is taking strong measures on
the frontiers with Yugoslavia and
Greece to prevent the border cross
ing of ‘‘enemy elements.”
The Soviet news agency dispatch
quoted the Tirana newspaper Bash
kini as saying it had learned from
reliable sources that the elements
referred to might try to enter
Albania for ‘‘provocative purposes,
■ aimed against the interests of the
country and the Albanian people.”
Albania has charged many times
in recent months that Greek gov
ernment troops have violated her
border.
Yugoslavia lodged protests with
! Albania last week, "charging insults
to Premier Marshal Tito's govern
ment, including the severing of
trade and cultural relations.
Some Italians Reported
Suspicious of Break
NEW YORK, July 7 (TP).— Some
suspicion still lingers among Italians
over Tito’s break with Russia, Auxil
iary Bishop Floyd I. Begin of the
' Catholic diocese of Cleveland said
here today.
"But before I left Rome they
seemed to be coming to the opinion
: that it was genuine,” he added.
Accompanied by the Rev. Louis A.
Wolf, Bishop Begin arrived at La
; Guardia airport this morning to con
elude a trip to the Vatican starting
J May 31.

Engineer Missing
After Seattle Blast
Kills 2, Injures One
th« Associated Press
SEATTLE, July 7.—A plant engt- j
neer was missing today after an
explosion which ripped apart a
$350,000 vitamin factory in North-;
west Seattle yesterday, killing twoj
! men and injuring one critically.
At 5:35 p.m. yesterday—half an
j hour after 40 to 50 workers had
j completed their shift — the Lyle
Branchflower Co.'s fish processing
plant blew up. Store windows were
smashed in the nearby Ballard com
munity and homes four miles away
were shaken.
The charred bodies of Rolland
Stebbens, 27, and John Zenger, plant
workmen, were found just outside
the gates. Walker Lamphere, 56.
; was blown through a door. His arm
1 was fractured and he was badly
burned.
The missing engineer was identi
fied as Ira Snyder.
Early today as fire flared up anew
in the shattered debris, firemen
again were called to the explosion
scene. Ten men were kept at the
plant overnight to check the blaze.
O. E. Erickssen, assistant manager,
said the cause of the blast was not
known. Assistant Fire Chief R. B.
Rogers theorized that one of the
huge stills used in rendering fish
oil had blown up. Dirk Verhagen.
chief chemist, said several explosive
materials were in the plant.
• Six thousand gallons of an inflam
mable solvent were dangerously near
the smouldering wreckage. Police
kept back the crowds for hours, fear
ing a second blast, and firemen,
probed cautiously through the ruins'
for bodies.
The two-story concrete and steel
building, 150 feet square, collapsed
inward after the blast. Within
minutes fire-filled smoke was boiling
hundreds of feet into the air.
Army, Air Force to Continue
Recruiting, General Says
•y the Associated Press
Philadelphia, July 7. — The
Army and Air Force have no inten
tion' of stopping their recruiting
programs now that the draft bill has
been adopted, Maj. Gen. T. J. Hanley
said today.
The director of recruiting for the
Army and Air Force in addressing
the annual ms<ing of the Benevo
lent and Protective Order of Elks
said:
“The Army and Air Force will con
tinue to rely heavily on three-year
volunteers to build and maintain,
their strengths at the new levels
authorized by Congress.”
Gen. Hanley pointed out the re
cruiting service was more successful
than many people believed possible.
"Since 1946.” he said, "more than
1,500,000 men have volunteered. It is
more than any other nation has ever
been able to do and it proves that
the young men of America are will
ing to serve when they understand
the need—and the opportunity."

Divides Loot Among Customers

CHICAGO, July 7.—“Robin Hood”,
visited a North Side handbook yes
terday and saw to it that patrons
didn't go home broke.
A gunman came in just as the
loudspeakers were blaring the run-'
ning of the fourth race. He herded
the bookmaker and 18 customers
against a wall.
He stuck his hand in the book

“This is only chicken feed. I want

To which the gambler replied |
“that’s all there is, there ain’t noi

"This is piker dough and I'm no,

Federal Court Upholds
Discharge of Veteran
Who Rejected Union
By the Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA, July 7.—The
United States Third Circuit Court
of Appeals ruled today that an hon
orably discharged veteran's refusal
to join a union which holds a
closed-shop contract is “just cause"
for firing him.
Judge John Biggs, jr., handed
down the unanimous court opinion
that since closed-shop contracts
were legal before the Taft-Hartley
Act, an employe was bound by such
a contract when he seeks job bene
fits of the Selective Training and
Service Act.
To permit a nonunion veteran to
work in the face of the conditions of
the agreement that all employe®
must belong to the union. Judge
Biggs said, would be forcing the em
ployer to violate the union agree
ment.
Sees Labor Relations “Disrupted."
Judge Biggs said it would "run the
risk of disrupting the employer’s la
bor relations and it might reason
ably have anticipated a strike at its
plant.”
The decision specifically applied to
the case of Cornelius Kemp of Gar
field, N. J., a former welder for the
firm of John Chatillon & Sons, Inc.,
Garfield.
Mr. Kemp refused to Join Local
28-A of Metal Production and Nov
elty Workers’ Union on bis return
from service. He said he was of
the opinion it rendered “no sub
stantial service” to the employes.
He was dismissed and later filed suit
in Federal Court, Newark, N. J., for
lost wages between June 12, 1946.
and August 7, 1946, at the rate of
$1.22 an hour.
Got Better Job.
He did not seek restoration of
his old Job because he said he found
a better one. The Taft-Hartley Act,
which bans closed shop agreements,
became effective August 23, 1947.
Judge T. Blake Kennedy, Chey
enne, Wyo., assigned specially to
hear the Kemp action in Federal
Court at Newark, N. J.. dismissed
the suit on the ground the veteran
had to be a member of the union in
order to claim his job benefit. He
did not rule specifically whether
Mr. Kemp had been dismissed for
"cause” by the company.
Judge Biggs pointed out that Mr.
