Unions Will Still
Fight Labor Bill
WASHINGTON, (/P) — AFL
president William Green told lead
ers of 105 AFL unions today “we
will never stop fighting until the
Taft-Hartley labor law is repeal
ed and those who voted for it are
defeated.”
Green spoke at the opening of a
special conference of union offi
cials to determine policy toward
the new labor law’s provisions. He
said:
“The Taft-Hartley act repre
sents a determined attack on the
trade union movement by our en
emies. It is an attempt to weaken
unions and render them impotent
so that the working people of the
country can be exploited.”
Lewis and Green conferred last
night, presumably on the mine
workers’ new contract and its re
lation to the Taft-Hartley law.
The miners pact probably will
come up for discussion at the AFL
conference because it is the first
major agreement negotiated since
passage of the Taft-Hjartley act.
It contains provisions skirting
some requirements of the law.

Congress to Survey
Alaskan Paper Mill
Possibilities
WASHINGTON, </P) — An on
the-spot Congressional survey of
the possibilities of establishing
three to five newsprint mills in
Alaska is being “seriously consid
ered,” Senator Capehart <R.-Ind.)
said today.
Chairman of the Senate’s spe
cial newsprint committee, he told
a reporter he believes “a mini
mum” of 500,000 tons of news
print can be produced annually
from government-owned timber
land in Southeastern Alaska.
He said his committee, if it
makes the trip, will go late in Au- j
gust or early in September and i
will invite a similar House com- j
mittee headed by Rep. Clarence
Brown (R.-Ohio) to go along. Rep
resentatives of the commerce and
agriculture departments also will
be included.
The principal purpose, he said,
will be to ‘‘check on the proper
arrangements for disposing of the
government forests to private in
dustry.” He added that private
i newsprint companies have shown
| “sufficient inteaest” to warrant a
Congressional survey.
Action by Congress on pending
legislation would be necessary be
fore private interests could under
take production, Capehart said,
because of government ownership
of the timber and because “a lot of
Indian claims would have to be
cleaned up.”
The Senator said *production
from “the hundreds of thousands
of acres” should suffice to take
care of the newsprint needs of the

j U. S. Arms Reduc*
tion Plan Accepted
LAKE SUCCESS, (/P) — The
United Nations security council
yesterday approved an American
i blueprint for arms reduction dis
' cussions despite a Russian warn
j ing that the plan would bring
I about a collapse of arms regula-1
tion efforts.
The vote was 9 to 0, with Rus- {
j sia and Poland abstaining,
i In view of Russia’s firm stand j
against the U. S. plan it had been
believed she might invoke the big
power veto to block it.
Soviet deputy foreign minister
Andrei A. Gromyko gave his
warning before the United Nations
security council in a new effort
to revive the Soviet working plan
which had already been rejected
by the commission for conven
tional armaments.
His challenge was taken up
promptly by French delegate Al
exandre Parodi and U. S. repre
sentative Hershel V. Johnson, who
announced their opposition to any
substitute for the American plan.
Gromyko insisted that no pro
gram for arms regulation could
succeed unless the plan was linked
directly with an absolute prohibi
j tion of atomic weapons.

states, although not until after

Current consumption of news
print in the United States, he said,
is about 4,000,000 tons a year, of
which 80 per cent is imported. He
estimated that some 6,000,000 tons
are needed to meet the demand.
“The only solution we see at the
moment for increasing United
States production is establishment
of mills in Alaska,” he said.

England Wants
More Lend-Lease
(Continued From Page One
“lies in devising some means
whereby billions of dollars worth
of North and South American pro
duction could be transferred
across the Atlantic without the
necessity for immediate payment i
in the form of an equal and oppo
site flow’ of European goods.”
Observers noted the similarity I
between this proposal and war-1
time lend-lease.
Of London’s morning papers,
only the ruling labor party’s daily j
Herald refrained from criticizing
government economic policy. The
Communist Daily Worker said the
policy “appears to be to drift un
til the Americans come over with
a form of lend-lease.”
Russia Warns
Thieves of Penalty!
MOSCOW, (i^P)—All newspapers,
published today a rare communi-j
que from the Soviet prosecuting j
attorney warning thieves that siitf j
penalties awaited those stealing <

The same accounts told of 12
persons sentenced to terms of five
to 15 years for stealing fish from
a smoke factory; ten years for
stealing a fuse from a railroad
car; five years for a pickpocket;
five years for theft of 90 pounds
of potatoes and ten years for
breaking and entering Moscow
apartments.

Russian Tanker
SAN FRANCISCO, W - The
coast guard began a search yes
terday for a Russian Tanker, the
Apsharon, overdue on a voyage
from Petroplavosk to San Pedro.

ing agency, requested the search

good said he did not believe the
ship was in trouble, explaining
the vessel is slow and may have
been delayed. Its radio may be out
