Some 'months ago a group com
posed principally of young ma
trons of Salem formed a Salem
branch of the -League of Women
Voters. Tonight they are having
an affair at Mayflower hall, a
United Nations night, with a pro
gram both entertaining and in
structive, with the public invited
to attend.
What is this League of Women
Voters? It is a non-partisan or
ganization of women who are in
terested in political affairs, who
want to inform themselves as to
Issues and to work for such legis
lation and administration as they
feel will serve the best interest
of the people.
One of its projects is to pro
mote voter registration and vot
ing at elections. The league also
sponsors classes to study ques
tions of current interest. .The
league often takes a position on
these issues and works in sup
port of its decision.
The league is free of "isms.
: It has no political entanglements,
j It numbers in its membership
1 persons of different partisan af
filiation. It has attracted women
of character and intelligence who
feel that women should take an
active part in politics.
From a practical standpoint the
league is too highbrow, appeal
ing to the -intelligent voter." It
doesn't give enough allowance for
the fact that emotions ana per
sonal interest are prime factors
In how people vote. The league
believes, however, that in the end
reason will prevail, so they keep
up with their process of educat
ing voters on issues.
The league strongly sustain
the United Nations, as well it
should, hoping to build solid
foundations of . popular support
under the charter.
There's a place for the league.
People should get acquainted with
It, recognize it as a worthy ve
hicle and respect its pronounce
ments as the result of honest and
intelligent study of questions of
the day.

Arms Seized
In New York
NEW YORK, Nov. 25 -Police'
today seized a truckload of
arms and ammunition in a Man
hattan garage and arrested five
men at the scene.
The five were charged with vio
lation of the weapons law. Police
said they denied knowing their
crated goods contained rifles, ma
chine guns, ammunition and oth
er weapons.
The group told police they were
hired to haul the crates to New
Brunswick, NJ., by a man whose
name they did not know.
A large quantity of arms re
portedly destined for Jewish for
ces in Israel was seized here sev
eral months ago. However, au
thorities made no immediate

CIO Financed
Underground
During War
PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 2S-(JP)
The CIO dipped into its national
treasury during the; war to help
finance the underground abroad
and sabotage enemy railroads,
mines and factories, a CIO offi
cial said today, i
Leo Perli es, director of CIO
communty services, laid the CIO
worked with the office of spe
cial services to contact trade un
ionists in nazi territory and bring
Chinese workmen out of Japan.
"There was a law in this coun
try that public funds couldn't be
used in dealing with enemy na
tions, Perlis told . a reporter.
"That didn't apply to us, so the
CIO put up the money for the un
der - cover work. We had to keep
quiet about it, of course, and it
never was made public after the
war. I think it's time the story
was told." i
Perlis said money and equip
ment was parachuted to under
ground groups in Norway, Bel
gium, France, Czechoslovakia and
Poland. y

in labor history.
By a standing vote roughly es-
timated at a 10-to-l ratio, the
convention adopted a resolution
which gives the CIO executive
board power to take such action
may be appropriate and ne
cessary" to bring about effective
organization of workers in indus
tries where CIO unions have
"failed."
Later, James Durkin, president
of the Office and Professional
Workers, issued a statement to
the press, defying the CIO action.
He said his union's membership
has determined its policies and
leadership in the past and will
continue to do so. He said the
resolution is "an unwarranted and
unjustifiable attack on our union
and a threat to the autonomy and
independence of all unions."
Ignores Communism
The resolution doesn't mention
communism, and in fact by its
language, would apply to weak
right - wing unions as well as
those on the left.
But President Philip Murray
left no doubt of what was mainly
in his mind.
He said: "I'm not going to pro
tect small cliques of men whose
interests are promoted and pro
pagated by the Daily Worker and
the communist party."
Don't Fulfill Mission
He said these cliques "maintain
political organizations, captive
organizations, and don't fulfill
their mission of organizing the
unorganized."
Today's action apparently does
not affect left - wing elements
of the two biggest CIO unions
that oppose Murray's policies
Thee United Electrical Workers
and the Longshoremen's union
Those unions could hardly be ac
cused or "tailing to organize
their industries.
Murray made a passing refer
ence to these two unions today,
without naming them.
Murray Complains
He said "most of the time of
this convention has been con
sumed by the representatives of
little organizations who have
done nothing to build their un
ions, protesting against the poli
cies of the CIO.
Then he said: "With the excep
tion of two unions, the combined
strength of the people opposing
CIO policies is not over 82,000
members.
Late today the convention beat
down left - wing opposition again
and raised the CIO's per capita
tax from five cents a month to
eight cents a month.

Service
Galls for
Thanks'
By Lester F. Cour
Staff Writer, The Statesman
"America the most blessed
land in the world tends to take
those blessings as a matter of
fact, forgetting, at times, they are
works of God."
This was one of many timely
reminders brought by the Rev.
Brooks Moore, pastor of the First
Methodist church, in a Thanks
giving day union service at the
First Christian church.
Moore asked two questions
throughout his address "What
shall we render unto God for the
many benefits rendered unto us?"
and "Shall we say grace?"
Moore pointed to America's
educational opportunities, ample
food supply, family unity and
civil freedom as things "taken as
a matter of fact by people who
assume they are privileges others
throughout the world do not de
serve." "America is a great nation to
day," Moore said, "not because
of what we have done, but be
cause of the good done by God."
Missionaries Needed
The world is "disintegrating and
falling apart because of Amer
ica's failure to send needed mis
sionaries to war-torn countries,"
MoorV stated. Religion is prac
tically unknown to the youth of
these impoverished nations where
the young people roam the land
"like animals rather than human
beings," he said.
The pastor called for a "pray
mg America, rather than one
which imagines itself a great
humanitarian in its role of send
ing relief supplies to its unfor
tunate and poor neighbors over
seas.
Moore concluded with a plea
for self-sacrifice among Amen
cans, reminding the congregation
that the Pilgrims who originated
Thanksgiving day existed on five
grains of corn during their first
year in the first colony.
Presiding at Service
Presiding at the service was
the Rev. Dudley Strain, host pas
tor, lhie Rev. James H. Taylor,
Dastot of the Four Square church,
gave the invocation. The scripture
reading was by the Rev. waiter
S. Frederick, pastor of the Evan
eelistic Tabernacle Assembly of
God: the prayer by the Rev
Louis E. White, pastor Knight
Memorial Congregational church
the I Rev. Uoyd T. Anderson, pas
tor of the First Baptist, the
Thanksgiving proclamation, and
the benediction by the Rev. Lloyd
G. Uecker, pastor of the Engle-
wood Evangelical united Breth
ren church.
Soloists were S. Peter Larson
and Edith Fairham. Rose Mary

Other Thanksgiving services
were held at St. Joseph's Cath

For Israel
Proposed
By Francis W. Carpenter
PARIS, Nov. 25 -UP)- Admis
sion of Israel to the United Na
tions was urged today by the
acting Palestine mediator, Dr.
Ralph Bunche.
He assailed as "a contemptible
slander of a dead man" the alle
gation by Slav bloc delegates that
American and British represen
tatives secretly wrote the section
of the Bernadotte report suggest
ing the Negev desert in the south
go to the Arabs.
Bunche also warned that the
Arabs miist "accept responsibil
ity for prolonging" the Palestine
dispute by refusing to negotiate
with Israel. Egypt, Lebanon and.
Trans-Jordan, however, once
again gave notice that they wofcld
not negotiate directly with the
Jews.
Bunche put a seven-point peace
plan before the 58-nation political
committee of the U. N. assembly
after, Russia's Semeon K. Tsarap-
kin had formally submitted a
resolution which observers said
apparently was intended to force
all U. N. truce observers, as well
as all Afab armies, to withdraw
from the Holy Land.
Tsarapkin said the Soviet "rec
ommends the immediate with
drawal of all foreign troops and
foreign military . personnel from
territory of the Jewish and Arab
states in Palestine."
Reds Continue
Pressure in
Suchow Area
NANKING, Nov. 25-(JP)-Chinese
nationalists reported some mod
est successes east of Suchow today,
but heavy fighting farther south
indicated the communists were
maintaining their pressure on the
approaches to this capital. '
; Pro-government dispatches said
three government columns had
Joined 25 miles east of Suchow,
culminating a 17-day battle with
the communists in that sector some
200 miles north of Nanking.
One of the government columns
was identified as that of Gen.
Huang Pa - Tao, whose seventh
army group took the brunt of the
Red assault. It was generally con
ceded that only about one-fourth
of this group had escaped the com
munist pincers. "
(No numbers were given, but
the communist radio said that in
the whole engagement 18 govern
ment divisions were destroyed.
This would run as high as 200,000 I
men it tne nationalist divisions
were anywhere near full strength.
but such an assumption is open to
doubt. Casualty figures generally
are widely exaggerated by both
sides.)
The official Chinese central news
agency said the nationalists east
of Suchow had recaptured 10 vil
lages and were "mopping up" the
area.

As a result he said, the choicer
seats must go into the higher price
brackets. He said he "hopes" to
keep the top at $10.
Hildreth said there will be
about 40,000 seats available when
Mr. Truman rides to the capitol to
