AFL CONVENTION FACING DEBATE ON LABOR MEET New Orleans, La., Nov, (U.R) The annual convention of the American Federation of La bor faced a heated discussion to day of international labor rela tions, prefaced by a flat state ment from Daniel J. Tobin, head of the Teamsters' Union, that he would refuse to participate in the world conference on la bor at London. "I am a member of the (AFL) executive council and I don't believe we could sit at the same table .with labor organizations that are not free whose wages are set by the government," Tobin said. He added, however, that this attitude would not prevent his serving as a representative of American labor at a peace con ference, and that such an assign ment would "be a government ; order, and I would consider it a service to my people to ac cept." Tobin said that the fact that the CIO had accepted the Lon don invitation did not affect his decision in the matter. "I have often appeared on programs and on the same plat form with Philip Murray and with other CIO officials, as ev eryone knows," Tobin said. He said that his reference to labor unions that are "not free" did not include " any American unions. . Success ful Poulfrrymen CHINA GETS PLANES Inglewood, Cal.

STRANGE FUELS USED TO KEEP Washington (U P) Ingenious foreigners, trying to beat the gas and oil shortage, are keep ing their cars running on such substitutes as oil from alli gators' tails and rum mixtures, an article in Foreign Com merce Weekly, Commerce De partment publication, states. Total war has acquainted mo tors with strange fuels and lu bricants, and even before the war oil-poor countries had de veloped many synthetic oil products, according to Dorothy Knibb, author of the article. Alligator Oil Alligators are plentiful in Brazil, and when no better sub stitute Is available, motors are kept humming . with alligator tail oil, which is even reported to have run a Diesel engine suc cessfully. The residents of Martinique find that a heady preparation containing 02 per cent rum and eight per cent gasoline works successfully and stretches slim gas supplies, the article said. Probably the most widely known substitute oil, Miss Knibb said, is benzol, distilled from coal tar. Information con cerning production of benzol is carefully restricted at present. "Gasogenes" Also widely used, from Swe den to Spain and. from India to Brazil, are "gasogenes," stove like devices attached to auto mobiles or tractors and fed by wood or charcoal. At least 80 per cent of all the vehicles In Sweden are operating on gaso genes. Anhydrous alcohol, a product of grain, sugar, beets or other carbohydrates, also is receiving world-widn attention n in stitute motor fuel, and may be usea oy itself or mixed with petroleum, Miss Knibb said.
