AFL Head Backs
Merger Proposal
WASHINGTON. 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.
Bon On Importation Of
Russian Crab Moot Asked
WASHINGTON, April 10-U.,P
Three northwest congressmen
nave joined in asking a ban on
the importation of Russian prod
ucts. Basis of the request was the re
port that Russia has sent 59.000
cases of canned crab meat into
the United States and plans ship
ment of another 400.000 cases. The
total value would exceed $21,000,
onn. The congressmen told Secretary
of the Treasury Snyder the im
ports should be banned under a
law prohibiting importation of
goods produced by convict, forced
or indentured labor.
They said Russian crab ship
ments posed "a serious threat to
our entire fishing industry and
particularly the crab fishing in
dustry." The request was initiated by
Reps. Norblad of Oregon. Mack
and Tollefson of Washington. Nel
son of Maine, Miller of Maryland,
Nixon and Scudder of California.
All are republicans.

Mother-ln-Low Of N. Y.
Mayor Otto! In Parking
NEW YORK, April 10 P
A New York policeman is in for n
surprise. 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.

McCarthy Claims
Mystery Witness
To Back Charges
WASHINGTON, April 10 JPi
Senator McCarthy (R-Wis) said
today he ia ready to give Senate
investigators the name of a mys
tery witness who will swear that
Owen Lattimore ia or waa a Com
munist. Lattimore, John Hopkins profes
sor who specializes on far eastern
affairs, has denied he he is or ever
was a Communist. He called Mc
Carthy a contemptible liar for mak
ing the charge.
McCarthy's charges are being
investigated by a senate foreign
relations subcommittee.
"I am giving the committee
the name of the witness I wish to
have called first," McCarthy said.
"I am asking the committee to
subpoena him and have him test
ify." McCarthy added that he expects
to produce other witnesses who he
said would back up his accusa
tions against Lattimore.
The committee has made tenta
tive plans to hear on Thursday
whatever witnesses McCarthy can
produce.
The tumultuous inquiry into Mc
Carthy's charges of Communism
in the State department was en
livened meanwhile by an exchange
in which:
1. A Democrat, Rep. Dingefl of
Michigan, declared that "reckless"
Republican leaders are backing
McCarthy In a drive to "get3
President Truman.
2. McCarthy, retorted that Mr.
Truman is "afraid" to let a se
nate investigating committee exa
mine secret files which McCarthy
contends will prove his accusa
tions. Plywood Corporations
