April 10 AFL President William Green to day strongly endorsed the idea of merging all American labor un ions into a single federation, but avoided taking a stand on a CIO plan for all unions to cooperate politically pending the merger. Green wrote President Philip Murray that the AFL favors for mation of "one strong, well estab lished labor, organization" in America. But he said he was referring Murray's idea of a political-economic coordinating committee to the AFI.'a executive council for a de rision when the council meets at Philadelphia May a Murray proposed last week that the CIO. AFL railroad unions and other major labor groups join in such a committee and also work for organic unity. The AFL's traditional position has been that labor organizations should merge first, and that economic-political cooperation would follow automatically.

The officer, William Kelly, attached a summons to a 1940 Studebaker sedan Saturday parked by an excavation in front of 20 East 70th street. The charge was partially obstructing a bus stop. Later a gray haired woman in a mink cape appeared in a drug i store at Madison avenue and 72nd street and asked for an envelope and a stamp. "Imagine the mother-in-law of the mayor of New York getting a parking ticket," she said to the clerk. The car, with a New Jersey license, is registered in the name of Mrs. Eleanor Young. She is the mother of the former Sloan Simp son, who recently Married Mayor William O'Dwyer. Sen. Morse Seen As Easy Winner Of Renomination SALEM. Ore., April 10 lptV. S. Senator Wayne L. Morse has some campaigning to do. but the political experts say he should win renomination easily in the May It Republican primary. Morse has two opponents, but only one hss campaigned thus far. He is David I. Hoover, a dairy farmer who used to be a Ixs An geles deputy sheriff. The other is John MrBride, a Portlander who has spent seven years in Wash ington in congressional secretar ial job. He advocates "sound money." Hoover says Morse is a bad Republican and should start his own third party. He accuses Morse of being in sympathy with social ism, of not trying to get Commun ists out of government jobs, and of supporting President Truman's deficit-financing policies. He says Morse's campaign slo gan, "principle above politics," is a "pre-fabneated escape natch" and means that Morse isn't a reg ular republican. Morse replies that he supports the 194S Republican platform, w a n t a government spending rut down, and would like to correct social and economic injustices. He is in solid with all labor and most farm groups. Hoover plans a vigorous cam paign wind-up. backed by conser vative elementa of the party. But the Morse organization is prepar ed, too, and the senator with the pro-administration voting record will return from Washington soon to step up the tempo of his re nomination battle. Hoover is 52 years old. He and his wife moved to their Lane coun ty farm 10 years ago from Los Angeles, which he left "because I got tired of smelling exhaust I fumes." He was a deputy sheriff in I .os Angeles Morse was elected six years ago by a nearly 100.000 vote mar gin. He defeated former U. S. Sen ator Rufus C. Holman, a foe of international cooperation. Morse called him an isolationist. Before entering the Senate Morse was dean of the University of Oregon law school and had gained fame as an arbitrator of west coast longshore disputes. Morse and Hoover have a few things in common. They live in the same county. Both love horses. Both oppose the Truman proposal for a Columbia Valley authority.

School Board Use Of Tax Money To Pay Dues Scored SALEM, April 10 OPV-Attorney General George Neuner acolded the Oregon School Boards associa tion for continuing its efforts to use tax money to pay dues to the association. The association, which Neuner says is "a voluntary organization without any background of legis lative origin or approval," wants each school board in the state to pay dues, using money col lected from school taxea. In an opinion for Rex Putnam, state superintendent of public in struction, Neuner ruled for the sec ond time that tax money can't be used to pay the dues. Neuner pointed out that the leg islature also is against this idea. The 1949 house of representatives voted 44 to 14 against giving the association its official blessing. "In the light of this record, the renewed importunity of the School Board association is an imposition upon your department," Neuner wrote to Putnam. The association's membership is on an individual basis, with an nual dues of $2 50 per member.
