Key Labor (Unions !n Western Europe
SaSd ControDDed by MiHitant Communists
London W Militant Com
munists are in control of key
labor unions in Western Europe.
They could damage, perhaps
wreck, its defense against Rus
. tia in time of war.
On a signal from Moscow, it is
likely too that Red-led strikes
and sabotage could hamper new
American plans to step up the
atomic potential of the NATO
countries.
Those coficlusions are drawn
from a United Press survey of
Communist strength in labor
unions among our closest allies
in West Europe.
The Reds failed in their first
open drives after World War II
to grab economic and political
control in France and Italy
through mass strikes and direct
labor front attack.
But they have now won major
successes by less direct methods
seizing .key positions in union
councils, touching off flash
strikes to keep their "shock
troops" in trim and engaging in
almost unnoticeable subversion-
ary activities.
Pictures Varies
The picture varies enormously
in different countries.

ftrol of the 230,000-man Electri-

Most Western European Com
munist parties are on record as
endorsing strikes or sabotage in
case of war with Russia.
French Communist Maurice
Thorez and Italian Palmiro Tog
liatti declared in 1949 that the
people and workers would wel
come the Soviet army "in pur
suit of the aggressors."
In Britain former Communist
party seceretary general Harry
Pollitt declared an "imperialist
aggressive war against the
USSR" would lead to strikes to
"prevent the war from being
carried through."
None of those statements has
ever been changed.
Flood Control
Talked at G.P.
Grants Pass OP) The Oregon
Water Resources board was
told here Thursday that agricul
tural development in Josephine
county is near its maximum un
til new sources of water supply
are developed.
The statement was made by
Victor Boehl in one of a series
of reports to the board by mem
bers of the Josephine County
Water Resources committee.
He recommended multi-purpose
use of all available water
in the basin and said such a
plan should include provision
for flood control.
H. G. Hathaway, another com
mittee member, urged favorable
consideration of the proposed
800-foot high dam on the lower
Roguer river in Copper canyon
near Agness. He said he favored
the controversial project be
cause it would create a lake es
timated at 500 square miles and
have a shoreline of 2500 miles.
He asserted the development
would attract 100,000 visitors
annually.
Ben Hilton, reporting on flood
control, said completion of the
PArmy Engineer's report on flood
control in the Rogue river basin
should be expedited. Upstream
watershed conservation and re
lated flood prevention should
be an integral part of planning
and not an afterthought, he
said.
The board conducted a simi
lar report meeting in Medford
Wednesday and was in Gold
Beach today.
Atlas Missiles
Waif Test Firing
Cape Canaveral, Fla. (IP)
Three big intercontinental Atlas

gantry crane to disclose to ob
servers on nearby beaches' a

Newsmen and photographers

windy beaches since the first of
the week awaiting a third at
tempt to successfully test fire
one of the 5,000-mile range mis
siles. The first two Atlas tests,
in June and September, failed.
Also expected to go up soon,

Ingrid Bergman Plans
Christmas Reunion
Rome IP) Ingrid Bergman
will play the role of a happy
mother Christmas Day in a Rome
family reunion with her three
children. Her estranged husband,
director Roberto Rossellini, will
be there too.
The couple's attorney, Ercolo
Graziadei, announced the Christ
mas party.
Graziadei, who returned to
Rome Thursday after a trip to
London and Paris, said he had
witnesser "cordial" telephone
calls between the couple which
had just separated. "Their only
interest was, to establish the
place and the' day that they will
be with their children during
the coming holiday," he said.
He refused to say where Ros
sellini was but the fact he had
just visited London and Paris
led to belief the director was in
Paris.
