AFL Blames Business
For High Prices
ATLANTIC CITY, NJ., (JP) —
The American Federation of La
bor has used the opening of its
executive council meeting as a
chance to blast the high cost of
living and predict new price
boosts soon.
But the council avoided saying
what ^should be done about the
problem, in a statement issued
Monday from behind the closed
doors of the economic study ses
sion.
The council stated definitely,
however, that wage increases had
nothing to do with the rise in
prices. “There is no justification
whatsoever for attributing the
present price spiral to wage ad
justments,” it said.
The blame belongs in business
and “profiteering right down the
line, from the wholesale to the
retail level,” said the council.
In addition to its cost of living
studies, the council looked into a
longstanding jurisdictional fight
between two member unions,
AFL president William Green
told a news conference.
Increased Manpower
Needs May Force Draft
Of 19-Year-Olds Soon
WASHINGTON, (/P>—A Selec
tive Service spokesman says in
creased needs for manpower soon
may force the drafting of 19-year
olds into the armed services.
Men 20 and older are now being
used to fill draft calls, but an
official said the need for more
men — as indicated by Monday’s
call for 47,000 draftees in October
— may mean dipping intcf the
lower age bracket.
The October call was an in
crease of 17,000 over the Septem
ber call, and there are indica
tions quotas for the last two
months of 1952 may be as high
if not higher.
The Selective Service spokes
man, who asked that he not be
quoted by name, could not esti
mate when it may be necessary j
to draft 19-year-olds.

Stevenson Appoints Si
Member “Brain Trust”
To Steer His Campaign.
SPRINGFIELD, 111., (IP) — Gov.
i
Adlai Stevenson — backed by a
brand new display o*f harmony in
the Democratic high command —
issued ? call Wednesday for a
special nine - member committee
to meet here Saturday and begin
charting his campaign strategy.
Stevenson disclosed that he has
chosen eight men and one woman
to be his “train trust” in charting
strategy and working out speak
ing date and places. Invitations to
speak in all parts of the country
are piling at his special campaign
headquarters but no definite de
cision has yet been made on any
of them.
General Eisenhower:
“Outlook Not Too Bright
For Durable World Peace”
DENVER, (#*)—Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower says “The outlook is
not too bright” for a durable
world peace unless Americans
gain a thorough understanding of
the complex problems involved.
The Republican presidential
nominee told a news conference
Monday he’ll touch on the sub
ject in every campaign speech.
“The great subject of peace and
how to obtain it,” the general
declared, “overshadows all other
subjects because it affects all
others.”
But efforts of newsmen to draw
out details of Eisenhower’s cam
paign plans got nowhere. The
GOP standard bearer did say he
expects to speak in Philadelphia
—but that no date has been set.
He repeated he will campaign in
traditionally Democratic Dixie.
And, in response to a question, he
said no speech yet has been sched
uled for Labor Day.
He met Monday with Southern
backers and with Republican
farm leaders in Congress.
