The son of the late President
told 600 delegates of CIO’s na
tional convention that “men like
Senator Taft . . . are seeking to
serve the food speculators, the
commodity speculator and are i
seeking to bring about infla
tion . . .”
Roosevelt called “a real estate
lobby the most ruthless lobby in
Washington" and charged it with
trying to prevent passage of the
Taft-Ellender-Wagner bill to alle
viate the veterans’ housing short
age.
In calling for unity, young |
Roosevelt said: “We, the people,
don’t have the organization, the
money or the somewhat preju- j
diced element in the press of;
America of the special interests.” j
Just before his address, CIO :
president Philip Murray unveiled |
a replica of the rtiemorial plaque !
to the late President Roosevelt
which is to be set in the CIO me- i
morial children’s wing of the
Georgetown University hospital

tribute to the man who strove for
the dignity of the common man
and his children and who over
came tremendous physical handi
caps to give his beloved country
leadership in democracy’s greatest
crisis.”
Expressing the thanks of his
mother and family, young Roose
vetl said, “I know of no other me
morial which would havfe more
pleased my father.”
The former President’s son ap
peared before the convention the
day after a demonstration of over
whelming support on the part of
the CIO for secretary of state
Marshall and the American for
eign policy.

U. S. Fishermen
Fear Competition
From Japanese
WASHINGTON, i/P)—Rep. Tol
lefson «R.-Wash.» said yesterday
he h »pes to stir greater interest
by the state department in the
fishing industry and get interna
tional fishery negotiations placed
in the hands of an official of pol
icy-making rank.
“The fishing industry, particu
larly that of the west coast,” Tol
lefson told a reporter “is much
concerned about the state depart
ment’s apparent lack of interest in
the fishing industry.
"It has no official of policy
making rank who knows any
thing about the fishing industry
and our fishing people want such
a man in the department to watch
out for their interests in negotia
ting treaties.”
The Washingtonian said the
fishing industry is particularly
worried about how it will fare
when the Japanese peace treaty
is negotiated.
“Our fishermen fear that the
Japanese will be given rights to
fish for salmon in Alaskan waters
and this should not be permitted,”
! Tollefson said.
“They also fear the Japanese
will be given exclusive rights to
fish in the mandated islands
where American fishing interests
, now are exploring the fishing
| banks and they think the depart
ment should see to it that such
rights are not granted the Japan
ese.
“Our fishermen also are much
concerned about the importation
of fish products from Japan.
"Because of the lower scale ol
living, Japan is able to send to
this country fish and fish prod
ucts cheaper than the Americans
can produce them. Such importa
tions should be limited.”
Tollefson said he intended to
discuss he problems with the de
partment and urge the appoint
ment of a top official to handle
such questions.
