; (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.

mans must leave Italy by the end

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

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.

Here's the "Wave" design.
The home costing $2500 or less,
as spotlighted by the building in-1
dustry's home-land program and 1
by the new FHA title 1, class 3
home loan, is becoming the sales
leader in the national housing
field, according to- recent reports
received by .Western Homes Foun
dation, with headquarters In Seat
tle. Tbe foundation cites the
Chicago area as one example. The
largest savings and loan associa
tion in the state of Illinois Is now
promoting the sale of $2300
homes, under new FHA terms, on
large suburban lots and country
acreage, above all other home
types.
"This Is not only typical of Chi
cago hoinc-bulldlng trends but of
thoso In most other large metro
politan areas," comments w. C.
Bell, chairman of Western Homes
Foundation. "It Is particularly
true of the northwest. Tho $2500
house is here. And, under present-day
controls. It Is a house of
substantlaj construction, protect
ed from tho Jerry-builder and the
fly - by - night materials dealer.
While the new class 3 loan, undor
FHA, allows for a down payment
as low as five per cent, there are
new requirements that protect all
parties to this class of loan. The
borrower must now have plans
and specifications, for example.
There must be a signed co" tract
