Matthews has offered him a new Job. Record Commends Him It was Vice Admiral Sherman's. record in the long controversy over military unification which first fastened attention on him for possible appointment as chief of naval operations. Back in lswe ne and tne men Mai. Gen. Laurls Morstad of the Air Force found common ground on which to work out a com promise on unification. Both were air officers. Sherman was the negotiator for the Navy when the Armv and the then Army Air Forces sought to produce a compromise bill that would meet some of the objections to unification raised by the Navy department. The proposals produced by the small group of nigh Navy and Air Force officials, of which Sherman and Norstad wore mem bers, received the approval of President Truman and the com promise version became the uni fication law with passage by Con gress. , Knows Carrier Operation The admiral Is thoroughly fa miliar with carrier operation, which now hat become the basic plan around which all naval striking forces are built. He knows the administrative prob lems in Washington where he has served a number of times and the harsh realities of com bat. Of that, he saw much in the Pacific campaign of World War II. Among his war commands was the original carrier Wasp, sunk in the Solomon Islands bat tle of-Sept., 1942. It appears to have been Sher man's experiences in the air-land-sea Pacific war that convinced him of the need for unified com mand at Washington. He has said that every successful offensive In the Pacific was made possible by combined planning among the sea, air and land commadcrs of that theater. Sherman, 53 years last Sunday, Is a native of Merrimack, N, H., and a naval academy graduate second in nis class ol AU In 1917. He went overseas almost immediately after his graduation, assigned to American naval forces In the Mediterranean. Sherman no sooner fin shed his arbitration role in the 1946- 47 unification dispute than he jound ne was Headed lor another tough job command of the Unit ed State task fleet In the Med iterranean. There the fleet, built around aircraft carriers, represents the "Implementation" to American foreign policy, of which diplo mats speak.

Go Deeper In Red (Continued from Page One) ized at its recently concluded sessions. . , Congressmen Dissent . . The administration figures that congress practically committed it self to providing the extra funds when it enacted or let stand the program of activities on which the spending would be incurred. Some top congressional figures on the Democratic as well as the Republican side gave some show of thinking otherwise when Mr. Truman said raising taxes is the only way he knows to balance the Duaget. They said a better way to bal ance the budget Is to cut spend ingand congress, meeting next in an election year, is more likely to reduce taxes than raise them. The president's revised figures, however, attested to the collapse of "economy drive" talk that reached a high pitch everul times in Congress this year. Oeoline Explained "The decline of seven per cent In anticipated receipts arises from the moderate drop in prices, money Incomes, and corporate profits since the original estimate was made." said a statement Is sued by Budget Director Frank Page by direction of the presi dent. In the Inst completed fiscal year, ended June 30 this year, the government's deficit was $1,800, 000,000 and marks the second con secutive year in the red.

Purge Of Communists Begun At CIO Session (Continued from Page One) to be "consistently directed to ward the achievement of the pro gram or the purposes of the com munist party, any fascist organi zation, or other totalitarian move ment, rather than the oDiectives and policies set forth in the con stitution of the CIO." OusteitVote Overwhelming Walter P. Reuther's Dowerful resolutions committee reported it had approved "by overwhelming vote" the expulsion of the United Electrical Workers and the Farm Equipment Workers. The two unions had nulled off a quick merger last week, but it wasn't recognized by the CIO. The UE, with up to 450,000 members, and FE with another 20,000 will be the first to feel the right-wing axe. UEs delegates, giving up the fight to remain in the CIU, walked out oi tne con vention yesterday, issued a ter rific blast at President Philip Murray and Secretary-Treasurer James a. carey, ana announcea it would pay no more dues to the CIO. With only Harry Bridges of the Longshoremen, Abram Flaxer, of the United Public Workers, and James Durkin of the Office and Professional Workers dissenting, the resolution to revoke UE's charter was adopted in com mittee. The third union marked for cer tain expulsion in the pre-conven-tlon speculation was the Mine, Mil) -and Smelter Workers, whose leaders have heaped criticism on Murray and other rightist CIO officers. Bridges Voices Defiance Bridges, probably the most out spoken among the left wing lead ers, took the floor In the debate yesterday with mixed applause and boos. Bridges was roundly booed when he shouted: "we are not going to change our ways those ways have brought results for our union." Bridges said the proposed con stitutional change could have been made just as easily last May, he shouted: "Now you've got the false whiskers. Now you've got Com munism. "But I say .Communism Is not the Issue. The issue is that there shall be no minority opposition. Oh, sure, you can speakv all right. But when you get into your local unions you'd better vote our way." ' ' "That Is regimentation," Bridg es declared. s . "To get rid of us Vo-u'U have to throw us out," he shouted. There were cries of "good! good!" In the hall. But Bridges continued; He said, "we'll stay in here and fight. We're not going to take a walk. We'll take the hat and try to make our position .:lear."
