Executive Council Urges 4-Power Parley; Russia’s Expansionist Policy Hit Chicago. — The AFL Executive Council called for a new meeting of the heads of the. great pow- j era “to chart a more effective program of co-operation for world peace.” In a special foreign policy statement, the Council rapped the ' “aggressive expansionist policy of Soviet Russia” as responsible for the turmoil and tensions existing in world affairs. Declaring that the United Na tions Organisation has' proved it self “almost impotent,” the state ment urged the United States to take the initiative “toward seek ing an immediate clariftcation of the difficulties existing between our country and Russia” in an^ef fort to prevent the further de terioration of international rela^ lions and reverse the drift toward an “eventual break” which “ap pears inevitable” in the absence of strong, constructive leadership. The Executive Council’s state ment is as follows: The cause of lasting world peace is losing ground: Throughout Europe and Asia, bitter sub-surface conflicts abound and the situation is little better than an armed trade. Only in the Western Hemi sphere is peace solidly entrenched and safeguarded by effective in ternational agreements. Beyond question, the aggressive expansionist policy of Soviet Rus sia is responsible for the turmoil and tensions that exist in many I nations of Europe and Asia. While the threat1 of war hangs I over such broad areas, hope for speedy economic reconstruction and peaceful progress must be in vain. When the United Nations Or ganization was formed the peace loving peoples of the world con fidently expected that it would be powerful enough to extinguish any warlike bonfires that might arise. But, in practice, the UNO has proved itself almost impotent. It is being openly defied by some of the great nations and secretly circumvented by smaller ones. While it may be too early lor final conclusions, the American people have reached the definite impression that the UNO lacks power to keep the peace. Already, only two years since V-J Day, military leaders are talking publicly in terms of the “next war.” Some contend it will be a “pushbutton” war and oth ers express the belief that hos tilities will break out so soon that troops and battleships will still be needed. Indeed, incredible as it scents, the UNO has failed in all this time even to bring about inter national agreement to abolish the horrors of atomic warfare and to develop unclear energy for the betterment of the human race. The deterioration of intern* tional relations has reached su.h alarming proportions that an eventual break appears inevitable unless strong and constructive leadership is exerted. The Executive Council believes that the United States should net be content! with sitting back and waiting for the next move by Russia. We are convinced that our country should take the initia tive toward seeking an immediate clarification of the difficulties ex isting between our country and Russia. War with Russia should be prevented if at all possible. Delay and shadow-boxing, diplo matic maneuvers will not solve but only aggravate the issues. It is a long time, perhaps loo long, since the heads of the great powers, which co-operated so s •<: cesefully during the war) sat down together to exchange views and reach understandings. The Executive Council believes a new conference is necess’euy to end existing impasses and Ic chart a more effective prcgJl m of co-operation for world peace in the future. Trade unions ir. the Unite <1 States participating in the af fairs of he 1TF include the S* a farers International Union, the Masters, Mates and Pilots Asso ciation, and many of the railway labor organizations. 'EXECUTIVE COUNCIL MAP8 1048 POLITICAL CAMPAIGN (Continued front Page 1) fighting each other before true oil* ho ration ii possible. "The CIO position of maintain ing our separate identities and making a pretense of unity while organizational conflicts still con tinue will do no good. That's only [ temporizing with the situation and I only delaying the necessary final solution.” I Mr. Green frankly told news i paper reporters that the pros* poets of immediate AFL-CIO merger were not too bright. "There are certain individuals who don’t want to see it happen.” he said. In response to persistent ques tioning, he identified these “in dividuals” as belonging to a "group of Communist leaders in ’.he CIO.” However, he insisted that the A1*’I, peace Committee stands i early to resume negotiations wjtfi a similar committee of the CIO at any time when the CIO indi eates it is ready to work out the ways and means of bringing about a merger. The Executive Council meeting wdl be prolonged at least one day I y a conference called to attempt to nettle jurisdictional problems in the Hollywood motion picture i.dustry. Representatives of the ! me t ion picture companies and the heads of the unions involved were nv ited to sit down with the Ex • ' ive Council to seek a perma , id nt solution of the controversy wtiiih has been in progress more thj n two years. VMPLOYERS VIOLATING (Gaatlnued From Page 1) accordance with the 40 cents-an hour minimum wage provision of the Wage and Hour law. "Violations of child labor pro ve ions of the public contracts act ■vt rc found in 185 establishments, and liquidated damages assess : mentis or child labor violations } • os l 141 contractors $232,800 for I illegal employment of 942 minors. | Overtime violations usually re jsult from failure on the part of j employers to pay overtime w ages to all employes—except those spe |«ifially exempt1—covered by the t Wage and Hour law. Another ] va use of overtime violations j» \n| ioper allocations of bonus and ether special earnings in over time calculations.” OFF THE BEAM A parly cf clergymen were attending s Presbyterian conference in Scotland. Sev eral set out to explore the district and came to a river spanned by a temporary bridge. They didn’t see the notice that said the bridge was unsafe, and started to cross. The bridgekeeper ran after them in protest. “It’s all right," said the spokesman, not understaifding the reason for the old fellow’s haste. “We’re Presbyter'ans from the con ference.” “I'm not caring about that," said the old Scot bridgetender, “but if you dinna get off that bridge ye'll all be Baptists." “These eggs are very small,” compa red the young housewife to her grocer. “Straight from the farm this morning, madam,” declared the grocer. “That’s the trouble with these fanners, ’ she persisted. “They’re so anxious to get ' their eggs sold they take them off the nest too soon.” The doctor’s small daughter had strayed into his consulting room and watched. wide eyed as he tested the heart and lungs of a patient with a stethoscope. “Get any new stations. Daddy?” she asked. This notice appeared in a recent personals column of an Alexandria. Virginia, news paper: “If the burglar who stole the alcohol in a glass jar out of my garage will return my grandfather’s, appendix, no questions will be asked." She—Does the moon influence the tide? He—I don’t know, honey, but it sure in fluences the untied. The very slick customer settled himself in the barbers chair. The man with the scissors looked him over and inqu.red: “Hair cut or oil change?” . The departing guest, (laying his hotel bill at the desk, suddenly snapped his Angers and muttered something under his breath. Quickly he turned and called a bell hop. “Well!” he said, “I’m afraid I’ve forgotten something. Run up td Room 654, will you, and see if I left my pajamas and shaving kit. And make it snappy-I absolutely have to catch my train, and it’s due to leave in five or ii minutes.” The boy sped away. He made good time; in four minutes he re turned, panting and out of breath. “Yes, sir,” he gasped, “You left ’em." Fir west's the man of the house had tern boosting to his family and friends ebcut his abil’ty as a fisherman—the day for ruling biought nothing hut hard luck. Passing a t’r h-vnailfet on his way home he stopped in and said to the dealer. “Just stand there and throw me a half dozen of your largest trout.1’ “Why throw them?’’ asked the surprised dealer. “Fo I can tell my family I caught them. I may be a poor fisherman but I’m no liar.” “Ycur leg,” \v1ite3 a midwest school-boy in an anatomy test, “is what if you ain’t got two pretty fa:r ones you can’t get to first base, and neither can your sister.” Father: When I started in life, young man, I worked 12 hours a day* Son: Yes, but in these rapid times anyone who took 12 hours to do a day’s work would get the gate. Alice took her friend Agnes along with her when she went shopping for a new hat one day. Here is part of their conversation. "Alice, I think that hat is the smart est one in the store,” opined Agnea. Alice looked at her. “It doesn’t have to he smart. I’ll put the brains into it myself.” The play had been long and uninteresting. One member of the audience kept mumbling a few words until a woman in an adjoining seat could restrain her curiosity no longer. Do you mind if I ask what you’re say ing?” she asked. "Not at all It’3 merely, ‘I envy ray feet’,” replied the mumWrr.g one. •’But why?” “They're asleep." Mother: “I was so embarrassed last night when I found you sitting on Paul’s lap.” Daughter: “Why mother, that’s what you told me to do." Mother: "Told you what?” Daughter: "You said if he ever got too smart to sit on him.” A gossip is one who_ .talks to you about others; a bore is one who talks to jenr about himself; a brilliant conversationalist is one who talks to you j^bout yourself. Mistress: "You know'. 1 suspect my hus band has a love affair with his stenographer.” Maid: "I don’t believe it. You’re only say ing that to make me jealous.” North Carolina, Mecklenburg County.

C.—The Vet erans Administration predicted that 1,325,000 World War II vet erans will go to college this fall —a 10 per cent increase over the previous high enrollment. The agency, basing its fore cast on advance registrations, ad vised student-veteran candidates for subsistence allowance to tak » along enough money to meet their personal financial needs for at least the first six weeks of the autumn term. Since veterans are not entitled ‘o subsistence allowance until they have l»een in training a month, students enrolling late in Sep temlter normally will not receive their first checks until Novem ber 1 or later. The VA said that despite the increased work load it expects fewer delays in the subsistence program this fall because certifi cation procedures have been streamlined, the VA has more ex perienced employes and veterans and institutions have a better un derstanding of subsistence pro gram procedures. The agency advised veterans entering college for the first time to apply at once for certificates of eligibility, and those planning to change their course of study or transfer to other schools to ob tain regional office approval im mediately. t For Indigestion, Sour Stomach and Gaa.
