CIO Turns to
Political Purges
Cleveland, Nov. 3 VP) The
CIO turned to iti mounting
domestic and world-wide poli
tical chores today wrapped in
the newly acquired robes of a
right-wing federation.
The roll of the political action
committee (PAC) in the 1B50
elections was due for plenty of
attention before convention ad
journment because of the CIO's
expressed chagrin at the failure
of congress this session to repeal
the Taft-Hartley act.
President Truman pledged re
peal, but both house and senate
rebelled.
In international politics, the
CIO is joining with the AFL and
labor federations abroad in cre
ating a new World Labor Con
gress, rivalling the Soviet-dom
inated World Federation of
Trade Unions.
The CIO withdrew from the
WFTU last spring because it
complained it was unable to
check the flood of communist
propaganda in the organization
Hot debate was expected over
foreign affairs and the interna
tional move from at least some
of the left-wing leaders still sit
ting in the convention hall. Har
ry Bridges, west coast longshore
leader, is one who wants to con
tinue in the WFTU because, he
says, it helps in dock strikes to
have cooperation of foreign
crews and longshoremen.
The major leftist -led un
ions The United Electrical
Workers and Farm Equipment
Workers were bounced out by
convention action yesterday.
That left 10 others to face the
equally severe inspection of the
51 -man executive board.
The board is scheduled to
meet Saturday, but may asscm
ble sooner to act on a convention
order to carry out the anti-leftist
purge to completion.

GOP Treasurer
(hits; Funds Low
Chicago, Nov. 3 UP) James
S. Kemper resigned today as
treasurer of the republican na
tional committee because the
GOP's reserve funds have fallen
below $125,000.
Kemper, a Dewey delegate at
the 1948 GOP convention, also
said he has been handicapped by
a difference between his opin
ions and those of "the party
officially or unofficially ' on
political issues.
Kemper, a Chicago insurance
executive, offered to quit last
August. He stayed on when his
proposal was turned down by
the committee. But he served no
tice then that he would quit au
tomatically if he GOP cash box
fell below the $125,000 mark.
Today he said he has signed a
$35,000 check, requested by Guy
G. Gabrielson, national GOP
chairman for operating expens
es: Kemper said that leaves the
GOP with only $90,000.
The republicans had $832,000
at the start of 1048. he said, but
this dwindled to $227,000 by
August, 1949.

81st Congress
Portland, Nov. 3 (IP) Sen
Guy Cordon (D., Ore.), said here
today the session of congress
just completed wasn't half as
good as the one before.
He said there was no com
parison between the 80lh con
gross and the 81st.
"In the 80th congress for the
first time in almost two decades
we kept the country in the
black," he said. ' At the same
time we took over 7,000,000
lower income people off the fed
eral tax roils, and that means
more take home pay in the en
velopes." Cordon, arriving here by train
this morning from Washington,
D. C, will address a state con
vention of Oregon Republican
clubs at Salem tomorrow night.
The senator was emphatic in
his opposition to a reduction of
tariffs by the United States. He
said trade barriers between Eu
ropean countries had been in
creased since the war.
"Let's let the European coun
tries remove their tariffs so that
there can be real inter-European
trade before we make further
changes in ours."

Drainage Plans
Deadlocked
The co-operative arrangement
for the county to aid the city in
its drainage program north of
Salem at the Silverton road came
to a temporary deadlock at least
Thursday when the city asked
that the county clean out a ditch
running north from the road at
Hollywood avenue for a dis
tance of about 2100 feet, instead
of the 300 feet first asked and
agreed to.
After City Manager Franzen
and Engineer Harold Davis with
County Judge Grant Murphy.
Commissioner Ed Rogers and
County Engineer Hedda Swart
had examined the proposed work
the county judge told the city of
ficials the county wouldn't un
dertake the job until it had some
definite cost estimates from the
city which could be approved by
the county court.
The necessity for extending
the ditch deepening from 300
feet to 2100 feet from jvhere a
proposed new bridge will be put
in on the Silverton road arose be
cause levels taken showed the
fall in the ditch is very slight
and the 300 feet first planned
would do little good in carrying
off the expected high waters of
the winter.
On inspection of the ditch
the county officials found that
part of it is overgrown with
shrubbery and in fact huge trees
are growing out of it.
The cost of clearing the stuff
and getting it away apparently
would be more than the cost of
deepening," said Judge Murphy.
"We would like to know some
thing more about just how ex
pensive this will be and espec
ially how the clearing will be
handled before he make any
commitments."
