(AP) The American Federation of Labor received today the resignation of Its veteran secretary-treasurer, Frank Morrison, and heard from Homer Martin a declaration that the real purpose of John L. Lewis' Congress or Industrial Organizations waa "to destroy the American labor move ment." In his first speech to a federa tion gathering since his faction of the United Auto Workers Interna tional switched from CIO to AFL. Martin renewed many of his "dic tator" charges against Lewis, assert ing the CIO chief held the greatest "contempt for autonomous rights of CIO affiliates." No Aid Given U.A.W. He charged too, that Lewis and his organization made no contribu tions to the upbuilding of the UAW. nor aided It with funds In Its strike against General Motors In 1937. But Lewis has spent, he declared, up warda of SI. 600. 000 since last Janu ary "to capture and control," the auto workers union. The UAW split into two camps early this year. Martin, a one-time clergyman, charged Lewis set up CIO because of his ambition "to control a labor empire." "Since he could not control the American Federation." he said, "his first objective waa to destroy It. In his mad schemes, he was Joined by the Inveterate enemies of the Amer lcsn isbor movement, the commu nist party." Secretary Since 1896 In announcing his retirement, Morrison said : "X do It with a full heart. All circumstances considered, It will be helpful to the trade union move ment at this time." Morrison, 80 next November, has been secretary since 1806. Trade un ion leadera predicted Oeorge Meany, president of the New York State Federation of Labor and member of the plumbers' union, would succeed him. Delegates created a $6,000 a year retirement compensation for Morrison. times In succession before he put across his scheme for exploring the western world. They not only laughed at Columbus they laughed at him for 10 years straight. I He first broached the Idea to King John of Portugal In 1483. The king referred him to the council for geo graphical affairs. And they turned him down. So Columbus went to Spain, and spent two years trying to sell the Idea to the Count of Medina. After all that work, the count referred hlro to Queen Isabella. The queen was busy fighting the Moors, and the proposition (what Columbus was after was financing) was referred to a royal committee. And they turned it down. Then he went-to Cardinal Mendoza, who finally suoceeded In arranging a direct Interview with the queen. But once more It was no dloe. In 1488 (four years to go yet!) Columbus went back to Portugal and resumed negotiations with that gov ernments to no avail. While his brother Bartholomew was proposing the Idea to the British and French governments, Columbus spent the entire year of 1490 lining ui auumer nearing from the Spanish government. A cabinet council told him to come back and see them when the war was over. In despair, he started for France, but on the way ran Into an old friend, Juan Perez, formerly the queen s confessor, who promised to write her a letter. That got Columbus another 1ntr. view. But Just when he thought he had the deal In the bag, the govern ment balked. In January, 1493, he sot out In disgust for France. Simultaneously, the Spanish government chanced its mind, and sent a messenger after him. Six miles out of town, the mes senger caught up with Columbus. '$ ORDERED 10 CONTINUE BERLIN, Oct. 13.

Talk Neutralltv To Death To the editor: I think Mr. E. Deacon of Talent hlta the nail on the head In regard to our neutrality question now be fore congress, but congress will likely tnlk neutrality to death. Just like they did the Leugue of Nations. As Mr. Deacon says, "How can we make a neutrality law work as we would like for It to?" We do not want to help Japan slaughter Chinese. As the embargo now works It fa vors Germany against England and France. Now we will suppose the war lasts several years and Russia goes In on the side ot Germany and attacks Cannda on tho west. What will we do about that? Are we going to have our commerce destroyed because there Is a war In nurope who Bays that we shall treat all nations alike I Why not have one or three good men to guide the good old U.S.A. and let the congressmen go home and fix up their political fences? Make this country strone enoueh so that any other country that Jumps win do giao to Jump off. Money spent In this country Is well spent and better than havlns a war.
