AFL Invites
J John L Lewis
Back to Fold
CINCINNATI, Nov. 2(MVThe
American Federation of Labor
took another step toward the lu-
ve goal of labor unity toaay. it
invited John L. Lewis and his
600,000 miners to come back to
the fold.
Fariior In the AFL convention
the delegates had approved a
resolution inviting ine liu 10 re
ft it, TTiov declared the door was
not only open to the rival labor
group, whicn meets in roruanu,
Ore., next week, but said they
were extending a hand of wel
come. The Lewis resolution said it
was a 'deep shock" to the AFL to
learn of the miners' disaffiliation
last Dec 12 after the bitter con
vention fight in San Francisco.
T.wi had foueht almost single-
handed to get the AFL to refuse
to sign non-communist ainaaviis.
Although not a communist, he
wanted to take that provision,
which is the basis of eligibility to
, use the National Labor Relations
tsoara, as uie sigimi iui jj
fight against the Taft-Hartley act.
Indnlred in 'Name-Calling'
Lewis lost at the Sari Francisco
convention, called the other AFL
leaders "intellectually fat and
stately asses," and said the Fed
eration "has no head; its neck
just grew and haired over."
But today the AFL seemed will
ing to forgive. The resolution said
"we do not here attempt to ex-
lain or interpret the paradoxes
nvolved in this disaffiliation."
Shawn Justification
Whatever may have motivated
the action, the resolution added,
"the march of events since then
has not shown a justification for
disaffiliation of the UMW from
the AFL and we hope that the
union, mindful of the loss result
ing from disaffiliation, will re
consider its decision and rejoin
their parent body, the AFL.
"We hope that they will return
home to function in the family of
which, by their very nature, they
re a functional part."
Sporadic Fire
Mprks China's
Suchow Front
NANKING, Nov. 30-UP)-Spor-dic
fighting persisted around
Suchow today as both sides pre
pared for another battle on the
road to Nanking.
Defense minister Ho Ying-Chin
told the cabinet there was still
fighting near Nienchuang, 33
miles east of Suchow. This was
the front on which the main com
munist push was broken earlier
this week.
The Evening Post said the reds
had attempted a new lunge her
with four columns possibly
40,000 men but were thrown
back when government planes
joined the battle.
The press had nothing new on
reports 24 hours earlier that gov
ernment troops had moved out 70
miles east of Suchow.
Other press accounts said com
munist troops also tried to make
another attack on Suhsien, the
railway point 50 miles south of
Suchow, but were Intercepted and
encircled.
General Ho in his report to the
cabinet emphasized that : rein
forcements were being sent to this
sector of the front.

"neighbors" crowded the Salem
YMCA to overflowing Saturday

sponsorship of the YMCA and

Folk dances of , many lands,
songs, colorful costumes and dis
play and sales booths with wares
typical of foreign nations compris
ed the evening's entertainment,
with net proceeds to go into the
YM and YW world service pro
gram, most of it in CARE ship
ments to the needy abroad.
The heavy-laden smorgasbord
table was filled and refilled as long
lines of men, women and children
filed past. Several - persons were
turned away later In the evening
as the food supply was exhausted.
Norman Wmslow was master of

sen, State CIO Votes
To Back ERP,
After Dispute
PORTLAND, Nov. 20 -)- Two
Portlanders Neil Griffin of the
textile workers and Robert Baker
of the longshoremen were nom
inated as president of the Oregon
state CIO council today.
The state convention went along
with major CIO policy by endors
ing the Marshall plan despite ob
jections from members of the long
shoremen's and the fisherman's
unions.
The argument launched a hot
controversy on tho convention
iioor.
Ted Silver. CIO labor rMtn.
sentative on a mmmftt for nm.
motion of the Marshall plan, was
telling the convention that only
Europe's communists oppose the
plan.
That's a lie!" shouted Don
Brown, longshoreman who re
cently returned frdm Europe.
I have a full report on your
activities in Europe, Mr. Brown,
and I know where, you get your
ideas,? retorted Silvey.
A crowd jumped up. "I believe
Brother Brown owes the speaker
an apology!" shouted John Brost,
a longshoreman.
"Not at all," said. Silvey. That
is one of the privileges we have
in this country. I am proud he
can call me a liar. I only hope
that the president of the USSR
labor unions would feel this way,
also."
The delegates then voted ap
proval of the Marshall plan.

Spain to Hold
First Municipal
Vote in Decade
MADRID, Nov. 20 -WVSpauVs
first municipal elections since the
civil war a decade ago, will be
held tomorrow. They come at a
time when this question is being
asked: Is the power of the totali
tarian Falange party increasing or
on the wane?
Strife within the party was re
flected today at commemorative
services at Escorial monastery for
Jose Antonio Primo de Rivera,
founder and martyr of the Falange
A few whistles, Spanish equivalent
of the Bronx cheer, greeted For
eign Minister Alberto Martin Ar
tao as he walked past.
About 8,000,000 heads of fam
ilies are eligible to vote in 9,223
cities, towns and villages for one
third of the members of munici
pal councils. Another third will
be chosen November 28 by gov
ernment - controlled syndicates,
the labor - employer associations
which pass for labor unions in the
Franco regime. The final third
will be 'picked December 12 by
the city councillors elected in the
two previous votes. This third Is
chosen from lists submitted by
the civil governors of the prov
inces. The official press has referred
to reports that the secretly active
communist movement Is urging
voters to boycott the elections.
Voting la secret and compul
sory except for those over 70, the
infirm, clerics, judges and nota
ries. Only the Falange party is
legaL however, and campaigning,
limited to six days, showed the
Spaniards have become rusty at
electioneering. Without benefit of
freedom of the press and speech,
campaigning was limited to the
circulation of advertisements byc
tne candidates stressing their per
sonal fitness and programs.

Progressives
To Lose Legal
Status in State
The Progressive party of Ore
gon is destined to pass out of ex
istence so far as legal status is
concerned 'when the state can
vass of votes at the general elec
tion is compiled probably about
December 1.
The party was created in Ore
gon through petitions filed July
14 of this year.
David O'Hara, in charge of the
state elections bureau, quoted a
section of the Oregon election
laws which reads:
"A political party within the
meaning of this act is an affilia
tion of electors representing a po
litical party or organization which,
at the proceeding general election
polled for its candidates for
presidential electors &y least 25
per cent of the entire vote cast for
that office in the state."
O'Hara said the total vote at
the general election would total
at least 515,000, with Henry Wal
ace and Sen. Glenn Taylor, pro
gressive candidates for President
and Vice-President, receiving not
to exceed 20,000 votes.
It was explained that the Ore
gon Progressive party could be re
established by petitions.
