Labor Unity Committee
proposed by CIO Chief
f WASHINGTON,! April 4-;p-CIO
President Philip Murray to
day proposed creation of a labor
unity committee to work toward
eventual merger of the CIO, AFL
and other major segments of or
ganized labor into a 16,000,000
member federation.
, More immediately, it would
Erovide for cooperation between
ig union groups on economic, leg
islative and political issues.
I Murray made his appeal in let
ters to the AFL, John L. Lewis'
United Mine Workers, the Rail
road Brotherhoods and Interna
tional Association of Machinists.
v' Declaring that repeal of the
Taft-Hartley act and . other legis
lative aims of labor have been
blocked by '"powerful industrial
ists' and their reactionary spokes
men in congress," Murray said:
"Only one thing can defeat them
effective unity jot action on the
part of our great organizations
which speak for millions of Amer
ican families."
The CIO chieftain proposed "a
permanent committee representing
the various '. labor organizations
with authority to carry out com
mon program.
: The establishment of such a
Standing joint committee would
provide much-needed inspiration
and leadership for, the millions of
liberal Americans Who are now so

much on the defensive," he said
"The activities of such a committee
would be an assurance of better
day for all our people."
Similar moves by Murray in the
past have failed to bring about
any real cooperation. The last
merger, discussions were held here
in May, 1947, following a Murray
peace bid. They got nowhere.

Give Ud Da
WASHINGTON, April 4 -(JPh

ment told Senator McCarthy today
they want the documents he says
he has to back up his accusations.

formation. The senator, a Wiscon
sin republican, explained he does
n't want any of his informants
to lose their jobs.
Otherwise, he told the Investi
gating group headed by Senator
Tydings (D-Md), "Your comntft
tee will be supplied with any ma
terial which I consider of value
in aiding you to perform the task
assigned to you by the senate."
Tydings promptly wrote Mc
Carthy a second letter asking him
to turn over to the committee by
noon tomorrow what ever Infor
mation he is willing to furnish.
"We do not desire to know of any
of your sources unless you feel
you can give them to us," he as
sured McCarthy.

Naval Priority
On Destroyers,
Patrol Planes
WASHINGTON, April 4 -JPK
Admiral Forrest P. Sherman said
here that an increase in thte num
ber of destroyers and patrol planes
is the navy's first priority;
The chief of naval operations
talked with reporters shortly after
Senator Hill (D-Ala.) had predict
ed in an interview that congress
will act quickly to strengthen the
weak links he said Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower has pointed out in
American defenses.
Sherman's concern over destroy
ers and patrol planes is in line
with Eisenhower's call for a build
up of defenses against submarines.
Not Satisfied
The admiral said the recent re
duction of active destroyers from
170 to 140, and the reduction of
patrol plane squadrons from 30 to
20, do not represent a situation
we're satisfied with."
He said he intends to do every
thing possible within the funds
available.
Reporters asked the admL-?l
about suggestions by Gen. Eisen-
ower last week that funds for
submarine operations be increased
in President Truman's budge: for
1951.
Sherman said Eisenhower was
aware, at the time he made his
comment, of $78,000,000 added to
the budget last December for anti
submarine warfare.
Not Strong Enough
"General Eisenhower feels. I be
lieve, that the forces ior anti-sub
marine warfare are not a strong
as they should be,". Sherman said
The admiral returned only yes
terday from a visit to England,
France and Germany.
He expressed hope that 17. S.
naval bases abroad be Detter man-
ned and equipped in the future by
shifting funds to them from navy
estaDiisnments in this country.
Soon after Sherman? return the
navy announced it w 11 increase
its strength In the southwest Pa
cific near areas that are under
strong communist pressure.
It ordered the seventh fleet In
creased late this spring by two de
stroyers, two antisubmarine de
stroyers and three submarines.
The additional ships are now bas
ed elsewhere in the Pacific.
U. S. marine detachments form
a part of the complement on all
American battleships, aircraft
carriers, heavy cruisers, and on
the later types of light cruisers,
as well as on other types of com
bat ships.
Construction of the temple of
the Latter-day Saints (Mormon)
church in Salt Lake City was be
gun In, 1853 and completed 40
years later.
Spokesman for Celilo
Indian Tribe Visits
John Whiz, interpreter and
spokesman for the Celilo Indians,
was a visitor in Salem Tuesday in
the interests of a movement to
assure retention of the tribe's

Leaf Torn from
Betsy Ross9
Family Bible
PHILADELPHIA, April 4 -UPV-
Vexil D. Weisgerber, curator of the
famed Betsy Ross Flag House at
23 Arch , street reported here
that a page had been stolen from
the Ross family Bible.
Weisgerber sard the page, bear
ing records of the Ross family,
apparently was ripped out during
visiting hours Sunday. The same
page disappeared in 1853, and was
returned in 1897. t
The Bible is displayed in a glass
case. To reach the bible, Weis
gerber said, the thief or thieves
had to remove several screws from
a brass edging which held the
glass to the table. -
The page contained entries' In
the 'handwriting of John Clay
poole, husband of Betsy Ross,
listing the births, marriages and
other data of their seven children.
Weisgerber said records in the
house in which Betsy Ross made
the first American flag show that
the same page was "lost" in 1853
and recovered In 1897. Then the
Bible was rebound to fit the page
into its old place.
Whiz and one or two other In
dian leaders plan to leave for
Washington, D. C next week end
to oppose a bill under which the
Celilo self-supporting tribe (made
up of Ceiflo and Rock Creek .In
dians) would be placed under the
jurisdiction of other tribes.
Whiz said the bill "would de
stroy our Indian traditions."
