PAGE FOURTEEN THE NEWS AND THE HERALD. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON October 21, 1989 CIO DIRECTORS flMOES DFDPPOSITIQN ; (Continued from Pat On) peared for a time that Issue might prove the obstacle that would block the new peace effort, but the opposition agreed finally to send In Individual "witnesses." Dnrkhorse Meanwhile, a "darkhorse" can didate was believed being Broomed to oppose President Harold Frltchett, target of much of the opposition sentiment In the convention. The convention was to nominate this afternoon, with a referendum vote among all 1WA members to follow the convention sessions. It is be lieved certain that Pritchett. Vice President 0. M. Orton, and Secretary-Treasurer Bertel Mc- Carty will run for reelection. The convention voted today to recom mend a change in the constitu tion to provide for another vice president. There was no evidence today of compromise on the part of the op posing forces in the turbulent convention. Shortly after the delegates convened a roll call vote on a balloting procedure issue showed the administration sup porters mustering. 122 votes to lot for the "rebels." This 16 vote difference was precisely the ' margin by which President Pritch ett won yesterday for a "peace conference" in a vote that was his first floor test. The oppositionists who have at tacked administrative policies and claim to represent the anti-communistic forces in the IWA, con tinued their thrusts from the con vention floor at the angular Cana dian president. Tax Opposed At one time Pritchett described as a "vicious attack on the in ternational officers." comments made by Jimmy McDonald, execu tive board member from Tacoma. On another occasion, when Pritch ett told Ed McSorley, Forest Grove, that he was "out of order" McSorley shouted back: "So are you!" McDonald's remarks were of fered against a proposal to in crease the per capita tax among members. He said the internation al officers "should put on canvas glores and calked shoes and get the viewpoint of the fellows who are paying the freight for this union." Union Drive The convention voted Saturday : to nlace more organizers in the field and also to put on an organi sation drive in the Klamath ba sin. A proposal to organise the Pacific northwest district solidly before attempting to "spread out" was rejected after William Riley, Bessemer, Alabama, made a plea for organization work in the deep couth. It was asserted that there are 26,000 potential members in the Klamath district, which includes the Deschutes areas and parts of northern California as far away as Westwood. A resolution stated Klamath Falls was selected as convention city because of tbe "need for organization" here. William Powell of Omak, Wash., told tbe delegates that claimed membership for the IWA as given ont at conventions has de creased from 100,000 at the first convention to 25,000 at the pre sent time. "We are faced with a decreasing membership and in creasing dues," he argued. The convention Saturday paid standing tribute to Tom Mooney and Warren K. Billings for their support of the "principles of la bor." . Break Down At the outset of the session. President Pritchett said the "peace conference" Friday night broke down because of technicali ties. Regional Director Bridges gave a report, stating the regional CIO officers lacked the authority to go "over the beads" of the in ternational officers of the union in connection with the conference. George Brown of Portland rep resenting the opposition also re ported on the unsuccessful confer ence. From the remarks it was apparent the confab failed because too oppositionists insisted their seven conferees should have a vote as well as the international offi cers and executive board members in the conference. Denied that, they finally would not go on with the plan. Germans Evacuate Italian Tyrol ROME, Oct. 21 (AP) German and Italian authorities completed arrangements today to transfer ap proximately 200,000 German speaking residents of the Italian Tyrol to Germany by 1942. Count Galeazzo Ciano, Italian foreign minister, Hans Georg von Mackensen German ambassador to Italy, and Dr. Karl Cladius, head of a special German delegation, signed the agreement. The arrangement provides all German "citizens" in the Tyrol must return to Germany within three months and that all other inhabitants of German origin must choose by the end of 1939 between Italian and German citizenship. Those who decide to become Ger mans must leave Italy by the end of 1942.

Student Says Hund Workers Employed At Boeing Plant WASHINGTON. Oct. 21 P A college journalism student who said he investigated the German American bund in Seattle, Wash., with the "sanction" of federal authorities told the Dies com mittee today that two bund mem bers were employed In the Boe ing Aircraft factory there, one under a false name. The witness, Richard T. Forbes, 25, of Aberdeen, de scribed an Incident at the Uni versity of Washington which he said involved him and a class mate, whom he did not name, in German propaganda activities. They consulted with officials of the federal bureau of Investi gation and the customs service and were encouraged to proceed with an Investigation, Forbes testified. The witness said the names of the bund members employed at the Boeing plant were Harry Lechner and Paul Btoll. Lech ner, he continued, had been a foreman there for nine years and his name appeared on the company's list of employes. But Stoll, he said, was not on the list and apparently was employed under another name. He knew Stoll worked there, he testified, because he once tried to telephone Stoll at his home and Mrs. Stoll told him her husband was at work at the factory. Forbes described Stoll as dis trict organizer of the bund and said he had' "a very German home" and used a "nasi primer" to educate his 1 2-year-old daughter. Lechner, he said, had "one of the most extraordinary antl semltic libraries I have ever Seen." He first met Lechner, he testified, under the name of Sweeney but later learned his real nam Anti-Aircraft Guns Roar in Shadow of Capitol $ pi o Don't be alarmed, it's just National Guardsmen fl ring an anti-aircraft pin In practice near the spot lighted dome under which senators, in daytime hours, conduct tight to keep America out of war.

S. fold Hoard IteavheN cw Peak WASHINGTON, Oct. 21 (AP) The treasury's gold hoard today passed $17,000.000,000 67 per cent of all the governmental and central bank gold reserves in the world. The war has nearly stopped gold shipments here temporarily, but fear of It was largely respon sible for tho present size of Uncle Sam's gold slocks. Before the war started, scared Europeans sent gold here almost as fast as they could In order to get It to a place of safety, and already this year about 22,900.000,000 worth has come into this country. That includes, however, more than fl, 000,000, 000 worth-which various foreign governments have deposited In their own names In the New York Federal Reserve bank for safekeeping and con venience In paying for American goods. The remainder of the foreign gold was sold the treas ury for American dollars which were deposited or Invested In this country, or used to pay for American merchandise already shipped.

I X CENTRAL Kl HOl'K, by i. E. ied)e A resume of the events which led up to Hitlers successful diplo matic maneuvers of 19.16, set forth by an Kngllsh journalist who bitterly condemns his own country and France for their parts In the 'betrayal.' Murder Is the word, and tledye's book, packed to thu brim with furls, Is one of the first by a British eyewitness to tell the story of the biggest sell down the liver since I'outlus Pilate. It la poured out In haste, In fluency and fury, an Intensely vivid and dramatic story that Is absolutely overwhelming. For It Is a story of moral collapse, of treachery and sometimes of horror. It i reads as If It were w ritten out of geiiuluo fervour, which per haps accounts for the vigor and animation which make this bonk a Journalistic masterpiece. Mr. tiedye is frankly a partisan and expresses the most furious In dignation against the govern ments who 'sold' Austria and t.'zerhoslavakla. This unhappy story of the "fallen bastions' will hn told many times agnlu, but never with greater sympathy for the victims nnd greater con- lompt for the betrayers. i nr. i-iiiiuti, ny .ins.

There Is no single character In thla book who puts In any peculiar claim for admiration, but the whole book Is brilliantly written, and i the dialogue Is purtlcularjy amus ing. It Is a lively story of K in land's uppor crust and reflects changing social and economic circumstances, a shrewd, sttlrlc and sometimes mntlcloiis story.
