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.

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,

University of Oregon stu

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

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-

'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.

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

mighty Penn State, 7-0. Har

other eastern thriller.

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:

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.

Delegates to the 23rd an

home Saturday after a three
day series of meetings on the
common problems of the
lesiue's 187 member cities.
At their final teuton, the vis

eouncllmen, and other munici
pal officials elected Mayor
George W. Peavy of Corvallis to
succeed Mayor R. I.. Elftxtrom

a report that It would be imprac

program intended to alleviate the
cities' fiduciary troubles. The con

Instead, the report recommend
