GE Workers Choose
Between Rival Unions
In Election Today
By th# Associated Press
BALTIMORE, May 25.—Thou
sands of employes in 57 General
Electric plants voted today to de
cide which of two electrical unions
was to represent them—the new
CIO group or the union the CIO
expelled last year.
The balloting, with some 95,000
workers eligible, is being superin
tended by the Baltimore regional
office of the National Labor Re
lations Board. Results will be.
tabulated here tonight.
Division Possible.
The vote will determine repre-:
sentation for each plant. It may
be that GE will be divided among
the bitterly competitive unions,
the CIO’s new International Union
of Electrical Workers or the
United Electrical Workers.
IUE officials insist that the vote
is on a Communist issue. The UE
was expelled from the CIO for al
leged Communist domination.
Secretary of Labor Tobin last
Sunday joined Philip Murray, CIO
chief, at an anti-UE rally and
both men said the union was Red
controlled.
UE denied the accusation, as it
has denied the many similar
charges before. “Phoney,” said
UE President Albert Fitzgerald of
the Murray-Tobin assertions.
GE Key Prize.
Mr. Fitzgerald's union has had
a number of defeats in important
industry elections so far but only
one—at General Motors—proved
a sweeping victory for the IUE,
headed by CIO Treasurer James B.
Carey.
At Radio Corporation of America
the IUE victory margin was slim.
Results of the Westinghouse
NLRB election were inconclusive.
One run-off election must still be
held at Westinghouse’s big Pitts
burgh plant.
GE. the Nation’s biggest elec
trical manufacturer, therefore
represents a key prize in the pro
longed union struggle.
Indians in Majority
GUATEMALA CITY.—About 60
per cent^pf the people in Guate
mala are Indians. Out of a popu
lation of 3,643,000, about 200,000
persons of Spanish or other Eu
ropean descent form the property
holding class.
Britain produced a record 412,
920 passenger cars and 218,375
trucks last year.
School Tie Strained
As Old College Pal
Tickets Classmate
•y the Associated Press
ASHLAND, Va., May 25.—Claude
Withrow, a Norfolk (Va.) sales-i
man, stopped by Ashland to visit
an old college classmate, Town
Bergt. Hugh Flippen.
They had a friendly chat. Af
terward, Sergt. Flippen walked
with Mr. Withrow to the latter’s
car, parked at a downtown meter.
The visit had been longer than
Withrow planned.
The sergeant calmly gave his
friend a ticket for overtime park

Fresh Fighters in Maine

By the Associated Press
AUGUSTA, Me., May 25.—Fresh
men with additional equipment
today tackled the job of stopping
a forest fire that has swept nearly
2,500 acres of wild land in Han
cock and Penobscot Counties.
The blaze, burning since Tues
day, is the largest of more than
60 that have broken out in Maine
since last Saturday.
No buildings were burned and
there are none in the path of
the fire.

Bill Assuring U. S. Pay
Is Sent to President
Federal and District govern
ment employes today are assured
of getting their pay on time for
the rest of the fiscal year.
Congress yesterday completed
action on an emergency resolution
to assure regular paydays.
The resolution was sent to the
White House, where it is certain
to be signed by President Truman,
probably today.
House and Senate approval of
the resolution came quickly yes
terday after conferees made some
minor revisions in the wording.
Under the agreement, the agencies
may draw on the Treasury for
their regular salary expenditures,
but may not use any of the funds
for any new employes or new pay
raises.
The agencies’ shortage of salary
funds stemmed from last year’s
Federal Pay Reclassification Act
which raised the salaries of most
Government classified workers.
In 1948, the average American
ate 145 pounds of meat, six
pounds less than in 1900.
Probe of Undesirables
Approved by Committee
An investigation of the employ
ment of homosexuals by the
Federal Government has been
approved by the Senate Expend
itures Committee.
The approval was voted, 10 to 0.
yesterday, and the proposal now
goes to the Senate Rules Commit
tee for clearance. Quick Senate
approval is expected.
The committee asked $25,000
for the inquiry but took no action
in naming a subcommittee to
conduct the investigation. It was
requested by a Senate Appropria
tions Subcommittee after hearing
testimony by a Washington police
official estimating 3,750 perverts
are employed by the Government
here.
