CIO Board Ousts New Y ork Council Left Wing Forces Found Weakening By Max Ball PORTLAND () The CIO Executive Board Saturday after noon revoked the charter of the New York City CIO Council on the ground that this body has given "slavish adherence" to the Communist Party line. The decision, which CIO Presi dent Philip Murray said was by a vote of 38 to 5, ends the case. In a joint statement, James Durkin, president of the New York Council, and Saul Mills, ex ecutive secretary, said they will not appeal the verdict to the CIO convention next week. Deny Pink Color They denied the charges of Communist party dictation, but said they would accept the deci sion in the interest of CIO Unity.

Found Wanting Then, later, CIO officers will determine when to issue a charter to a new council and will set a time for election of officers The board's decision, which akes effect immediately, approves report by a three-man commit. tee which met in Washington last month. The board found: That the council 'Moes not rep resent and is not capable of serv ing the CIO membership in the greater New York area That the council "has brought discredit upon the national CIO by the slavish adherence of the council to the line and dictates of the Communist Party.1 That the council "has flagrantly disregarded and acted contrary to CIO policy, to the CIO constitu tion, and to the CIO rules for in dustrial union councils." Pro-Wallace The New York City Council stirred up CIO wrath by failing to reject Henry Wallace's third party and neglecting to endorse the ClO-backed Marshall Plan for aiding Europe. Saturday's decision was nation ally important as a major test of the struggle between the right and left wings of the CIO. This doesn t mean the left wing won't fight back at the convention Monday. It probably will. Nor does it mean that the CIO is ridding all its unions of Com munists. That isn't likely. But it does mean that the anti- Communists, including Murray, are in a position to proceed much faster with the process of isolating the real Communist party mem bcrs by forcing their friends to desert them and quit following the Communist party line. Many union leaders who formerly co operated with the Communists have already broken with them, in some cases with great Bitter, ness.

It was the first for mal U. S. statement before the U. N., however, on the recommen dations of Count Folke Berna dotte, slain U. N. mediator. An far as the question of the Negev goes, the Jessup statement lined the United States up behind Israel and against Britain. The Israeli government has announced it will not give up the Negev. The British are sponsoring the Ber nadotte plan. The United" States accepted other key parts of the Bernadotte recommendations, including a proposal to set up a conciliation commission.

When Bramuglia receives replies from the United States, Britain and France he will meet again neutral members ol University of Oregon stu dents, alumni and Eugene townspeople waited Saturday night for a possible announce ment by Commissioner Victor Schmidt of the result of the Pa cific Coast Conference's selec tion of its Rose Bowl entrant. Although both the United Press and Associated Press in Los Angeles reported that the announcement may not come until Sunday or Monday, Schmidt told the Register Guard and Orlando John Hollis, Oregon faculty representative, it might come Saturday night. This edition was held open un til early Sunday morning for that possibility. Oregon has gained consider able newspaper backing since defeating UCLA so impressively last week, and close followers of the gridiron believe California's bare 7-6 victory over Stanford at home and Oregon's 10-0 vic tory over Oregon State on a muddy foreign field might en hance Oregon's chances. In the meantime an announce ment from the Big-Nine Con ference was also awaited. It ap peared Northwestern's second- place team would get the bid. Michigan's champions were not eligible, since they appeared ll the Rose Bowl last year and defeated TJSC, 49-0. Although California has won all 10 games this season, the Bears have not been too Im pressive in beating USC 13-7, UCLA 28-13, and Stanford. Ore gon, on the other hand, dis played Increasing power as the. season progressed. Muddy Field a Handicap to Both Squads; McKay's 15-Yard Run, Daniels' Kick Do Trick By Dick Strife BELL FIELD. Corvallis Jim Aiken's University of Ore gon Webfoots, the greatest gang of gridders in the history of the University, made their coach's pre-season "boast come true here Saturday afternoon, blanking Oregon State's Beavers, 10-0, before some 22,000 fans. Aiken had nnnnuncrd to the world last summer that Orcsron would have a t'tlo contender and only his Web fonts were convinced at the time. The triumoh. registered on a muddy field that handi capped the offense of both teams, was the team's seventh straight conference victory. And although Oregon holds a half-gamn edge over California, the two schools are consid ered tied the first time in history that tne r-acmc i-oasi Conference has boasted two undefeated and untied aggre gations. Bears Refused U. O. Chnllcnge The Golden Bears, who were confident enough of gain ing the Rose Bowl selection that they ignored Oregon's challenge to a dayoff game, barely beat Stanford, 7-6, at Berkeley Saturday. Whether or not Oregon wins the Rose Bowl bid, the Webfoots looked like champions in the "mud bowl" here. They had other scoring chances besides Johnny McKay's lS-yard touchdown run late in the second quarter and Chet Daniels' field goal from 27 yards away early in the third. That three-pointer, the first kicked by a Webfoot in 10 yers, clinched the victory. After the three Oregon captains Brad Ecklund, Dan Garzn. and Don Stnntnn dumped Aiken from their ' shoulders onto Lon Stiner and knocked tho beaten Beav- Final Coast Conference Standings Pension Backers Hire Attorney To Fight Case Claim Majority Will 'Not to Be Thwarted' PORTLAND (P) Sponsors of the old age pension bill, ap proved by the people and called inoperative by the attorney gen eral, have retained an attorney to seek legal means of enforcement. , Joe Dunne, spokesman for the group, revealed Saturday that counsel had been employed. He said the intent of the pen sion group was to put a $50 floor under pensions. There was no other intent, he said, and "if any one had read the bill in advance they would have known it." Atty. Gen. George Ncuner a week ago said the measure, in its present legal status, was merely an expression of policy. No Takers on Bond Offer As soon as passage of the meas ure became apparent a bon.l offer by the state veterans' department had no takers and the state's fin ancial positon was questioned on the ground thnt the pension meas ure was far-reaching in its appli cation and would skyrocket state costs. Dunne said Saturday that he would comment only through his attorney, Bornctt Goldstein. Goldstein, when asked what ac- Pitt Surprises Penn State 7-0, In Biggest Upset Saturday was King Football's biggest day of the regular 1948 season. Upsets, near upsets, and rugged playing featured games which saw teams move a big notch closer, to their various "bowl" bids. In the East, Pittsburgh fur nished an upset by dropping mighty Penn State, 7-0. Har vard's 20 to Yale's 7 was an other eastern thriller. Down South, North Carolina beat Duke, 20-0; Louisiana State surprised Alabama's Crimson Tide, 26-6; and Clem son whipped Duqucsne, 42-0. The near upset of the day was in the Sftuthwest circuit where Baylor racked up 6 points and held down big Southern Metho dist (and Doak Walker) to 13. In the midwest, Northwestern moved closer to the Rose Bowl with a 20-7 win over Illinois. Other big game scores were: Michigan 13, Ohio State 3; Min nesota 16, Wisconsin 0; Michi gan State 40; Washington State 0; Purdue 39; Indiana 0, and USC 20, UCLA 13. W. Ii. T. Pet. Pts. Op.

"Insulting to Citizens" In more detail, he added: "The law's plain purport is to insure more adequate relief for the needy aged of Oregon under more just and humane regulations than are now available. To have this remedial legislation attacked by some as a monstrosity is not only clearly unwarranted but is likewise insulting to the 300,000 and more of our citizens who vot ed for its enactment.

Oreeon State's onlv real scoring ooDortunltv came early in the game when Norm VanBrocklin was guilty of one of his frequent but understandable fumbles. End Dirk Lor enze recovered on the Oregon 41. But the battling Oregon line, that outcharged and outfought the burly Beavers, stop ped the drive on the 23. The only other time the Beavers penetrated Oregon ter ritory came in the third quarter to the Oregon 40. But they ended up with Oregon in possession on the State 35 after Bob Anderson had blocked Don Samuel s punt. Fumbles and Penalties Cost More Scores Fumbles and penalties cost Oregon other possible scores. Late in the opening quarter the Webfoots went as far as the State 36, despite a 15-yard offensive holding penalty. Another penalty early in the second quarter nullified a pass from VanBrocklin to McKay to the Beaver 8. On the se ries before McKay's second-period touchdown, a penalty stalled Oregon on the OSC 34 from where VanBrocklin nut the Beavers in a hole with a punt, out on the four-yard line. The Webfoots, who enjoyed a decisive statistical margin throughout, smashed 53 yards to the 10-yard lino In the third pe riod before Daniels' field goal from the 17-yard line at a i5-dcgrce angle. After Andersen blocked the third-period punt, Oregon moved as far as the 15 despite a 15-ynrd clipping penalty. And on the opening fourth-quarter play, VanBrocklin fumbled and Don Mclicary recovered on the State 15. Oregon punched bark to tho OSC 35, ngnin to the 44, and was within 20 yards of another touchdown nt the final gun. Other Champion Teams No .Better Oldtimers will admit that the IfllB and 1919 Oregon teams that played in the Rose Bowl and the 1933 tenrh that tied Stanford and USC for the conference crown were no better than, If as good as, the present crew. This team had the courage to play a Michigan eleven that . walloped the coast champs, the Mighty Trojans, 49-0, in the last Rose Bow classic but downed Oregon only 14-0 at home. Aiken's crew has now won 12 straight conference games and 15 wins chalked up In the fi. No Oregon team has ever led this record.
