One- thing he is, not goin to do,
the president said,' Is to slash gov

"As long as I am president," he
said, "we are not going to put
dollars above world peace."
He said one of the favorite
themes of "the boys who are al

down instead of trying to build it
up, is that the government takes
all our gams away by high taxes.'
"But the truth is that the an

PHILADELPHIA, May 10 -UP)
AFL President William Green as
serted today only higher wages
and lower prices can ward off
widespread unemployment. '
And then he pledged that. In
1950 the nation's largest labor un-
on will conduct an all-out drive
to bring higher pay for workers
and reduced cost of consumer
products.
'That s sound economic policy.
Green told a news conference fol
lowing a closed - door session of
the union's national executive
council.
"The Increased purchasing pow
er which will result from a high
level of wages will broaden the
market for all types of goods and
services as well as stimulating in
creased efficiency in business,"
Green said, adding:
"Business must recognize the
necessity for continually lowering
prices, or face hostile reaction
from the rest of the community.
There were other major devel
opments at meetings of the ex
ecutive council, and at a conven
tion of the Pennsylvania Federa

The executive council endorsed
sections of the Hoover report

Counterfeiting
Ring Smashed
WASHINGTON, May 10-UP)-
Secretary of the Treasury Snyder
announced tonight that the sec
ret service had smashed a million
dollar syndicate which passed
counterfeit, money in 28 of the
43 states; and in Canada.
The arrest of two 'men in Buf
falo, N. Y., appeared-to wind up
the case, Snyder said.
Secret Service Chief U. E.
Baughman said the group had
printed $500,000 in Canadian bill
counterfeits and about $500,000 in
U. S. money counterfeits in the
course of its operations..
Month of Work
Baughman said the syndicate
was broken up by the secret ser
vice after four months of inten
sive work. ")
Baughman told a reporter,
however, that about $45,000 in the
counterfeit U. S. moneyfake $10
and $20 federal reserve -notes
was passed on victims in 23 states,
before the ring was broken up.
Another $280,000 was seized be
fore it was put into circulation.
he added, and further counterfeit
notes may now be in the hands of
"passers," although members l
the syndicate claim they were
destroyed. (
Many Arrested
More than 10 men have been
arrested as having principal roles
in the counterfeit syndicate,
Baughman said, and another 64
persons have been picked up in
various cities on charges of act
ing as passers.
He described tne case as prob
ably the most important crack
down against counterfeiting in
years. , .' (
The syndicate's counterfeit
passing operations extended across
the country Jrom "Connecticut to
California, and Maine to Texas,"
Baughmann said.

Trapped Well
Rescue Team
Fails Effort
By Minutes
By George Cornell and Ed Creairh
NEW YORKy May 10-VP)-Well-digger
Dominick Atteo died in
agony today just five minutes be
fore rescuers freed him at the bot
tom of a 20-foot shaft. He had
been trapped there for 26 hours.
Half - bunded, the 49 - year - old
father of six children had fought
off pain and exhaustion, until the
last by what doctors described as
a superhuman effort of will and
courage.
Workmen tunneling under a
Brooklyn garage reached Atteo s
side at 1:10 pjn- and an hour later.
despite a minor cave-in, reported
the writhing, moaning prisoner was
"99 per cent clear." N
Death from Shock
But the last shovelsful of earth
and stone were dug away too late.
Grey r faced with fatigue. Dr.
Harold Berson emerged from the
garage floor excavation and shook
his head. ;
"He died 'just five minutes, be
fore I got to him." said the doctor,
who had been lowered repeatedly
into the collapsed well to attend
the trapped contractor. "I thought
he was going to make it. His cour
age and endurance were beyond
belief." ; "
The 25-year-old Dr- Berson said
that death resulted from shock and
exhaustion and not from the rescu
ers' activities.
Son Accuses Crews
Police applied artificial respira
tion for a long time after the body
was brought to the surface even
though the doctor said their action
was useless. -
The body was brought to the
surface at 2:40 p.m.
Atteo's attractive, 32 -year -old
second wife, Marie, who wept and
prayed at the well throughout the
long vigaL went into hysterics at
end, screaming and striking "out
at spectators. '
His son John, 28, who lowered
the cigarette that touched off an
explosion badly burning the en
tombed man last night, bitterly ac
cused the rescue crews of waiting
too long before starting the trench
that ultimately reached Atteo.

some - other railroads that lease
tracks from the struck roads.
There were no signs of early
settlement.
The national (railway) media

The struck : railroads provided
emergency service, wherever pos

the strike was to avoid creating an
