Am F. Lu Leaders
Slapped Down
John L. Lewis
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., (/P)—
Top AFL leaders slapped down a j
efient John L. Lewis today by
N oting to strip him, and 12 other
vice presidents, of the “office” in
‘he federation by which he was
ble to bar the door of the Nation
1 Labor Relations Board to 1,500
liny local unions.
Though not a “Red” sympath
:er himself, Lewis refused to sign
•he affadavit required by the Taft
Uartley Ast disavowing commun
ism. Unions whose officers don’t
gn, cannot use the NLRB.
The little federal locals, with
: 00,000 members need the NRLB’s
'rotective facilities most among
‘ne AFL’s big family of unions.
Their national “officers” are the
c ouncil members.
The 15-man council, over the
( pposition of Lewis, voted to do,
r way with the offices of vice
• 'resident, leaving only presidept
William Green and secretary
' easurer George Meany as “of
ficers” of the federation.
Lewis and his 12 vice-presiden
4 al colleagues would become mere
c ouncil members, retaining their
umerical order of seniority on
that policy-making body. •
One council member predicted
tire convention would adopt tne
i reposal by a seven-eighths ma-1
iority, but delegates whispered
they expected the militant Lewis
to put up at least a token fight!
on the convention floor. A con
Navy Ram-Jet Goes
Over 1400 M.P.H.
• Continued From Page One
the ram-jet engine is launched
from shore by four huge rockets.
These rockets bring the engine up
to the speed necessary to provide
the ram effect, which enables the
engine to fly by itself.
This project has been known as
the “Bumble Bee.” The engine
was shot off the New Jersey
coast into the ocean.
Engineers are not willing to pre
dict any early achievement of
supersonic speed in piloted air
craft, the simple fact being that
nothing properly described as an
aircraft has yet exceeded the speed
of sound in flight. The tests in
this country as well as in the ones
in England are more properly de
scribed as being “missile” experi
ments, since they do not involve
the use of aerodynamics to obtain
lift.
I
stitutional amendment, requiring
a two-thirds vote, is necessary to
put the change in effect.

WASHINGTON, OP)—1The rail
roads gave notice today that the
new 10 percent general increase
in freight rates will go into effect
Monday, October 13.
Revised rate schedules were
filed with the Interstate Commerce

ed in railway freight depots over
the nation.
In granting the increase last
Tuesday the ICC directed the rail
