met for the past few weeks, and
that some places received only
800 calories.

house committee on un-American
activities as follows;
"R. J. Thomas, former presi
dent and now vice president of
the union; George Addes, secretary-treasurer;
and Richard P.
Leonard, national director of the
Ford department."
Sigler said "They follow the
communist parly lines in union
activities."
For months, the governor said,
there has been a "terrific strug
gle" for control of the CIO-UAW
in Detroit between communists
and good loyal American citi
zens. The committee is considering
bills to outlaw the communist
parly.
Sigler. took no definite stand
on the measures in a prepared
statement. But, he said, commu
nism presents a "serious men
ace" to America and he has been
fighting its evil influences since
the day he took office. He add
ed there are "upwards of 15,000
communists in Michigan."

Setting Off Disastrous Dock Fire
Jerusalem, March 28 UP) British officials said today five Jews
had blown up an oil pipeline in the Haifa dock district, setting
off a fire that raged through exlcnHve oil and benzene installa
tions. The announcement said
the Jews, dressed as Arabs and
armed with revolvers, forced
their way through heavy defens
es of the oil dock area at 9:05
a.m. and placed small charges
of explosives under the pipeline
in several places.
They tried to flee in a small
truck, the report said, but were
turned back and then attempted
to scatter and escape afoot. Sev
eral suspects were rounded up
for questioning, but police de
clined to say whether any were
connected with the blasts.
Inhabitants of Haifa, a major
Palestine port on the Mediter
ranean northwest of Jerusalem,
told of hearing two heavy ex
plosions. The fire started by the blasts
spread to nearby oil and benzene
tanks of the Shell Oil compa
ny. Police, navy and oil com
pany fire brigades struggled for
more than an hour to bring the
blaze under control.

city. The sight of this and the
