Committee Charge Called “Bosh” DADE CITY W—A union field organizer Friday denied a Senate committee’s charge that the Dis- tributive, Processing and Office Workers of America was con- trolled by “agents of the. Krem- lin.” The organizer, Edward Robin- son New York, called the Senate Internal Security Committee’s charge “‘bosh.” Sen. McCarran (D.-Nev.) heads the committee, which asked the Justice Department to consider jury charges against three lead- ers of the 65,000-member group who allegedly were identified as Communist party members but who signed non-Communist affida- vits under Taft-Hartley Law re- quirements. The Senate group said the three were Arthur Osman, president; James Durkin, secretary-treasur- er; and Donald Henderson, admin- istrative director, Robinson said | Durkin and Henderson had been voted out of the union but he did not comment on Osman, who came here recently to help the union | local raise $40,000 for a union hall. Henderson was one of eight DPOWA members jailed for 30 days last September on a con- tempt charge for ignoring a court injunction in a brief strike at Pas- co Packing Co. here.

Bebe ice i gheeans in action wi regular shipping services are believed operating be- tween Murmansk and other ports as far east as Vladivostok, The officials said they are pretty sure, too, that land and air bases and rocket-ldunching sites are be- ing built up in the region, especial- ly as new centers of industry have arisen in Siberia.

Carlos Prio Socarras, who was ousted from the presidency when Batista took over, thade the state ment in a press conference. In December, 1950, or January. 1951, Prio said, Batista approached Guillermo Alonso Pujol, then vicc president and a political foe of Prio, with an offer to make hir president after throwing out Prio. Alonso Pujol rejected the propo sition, Prio said, and contacted associates of Batista in an attempt to persuade the Cuban strong man to give up the plot. If. Alonso Pujol had told him ; of the plot at the time, Prio said, | “I would have taken the neces- sary action” to forestall it. | Prio’s statements were in re sponse to Batista’s talk to the Cu ban army Thursday, in which he said he overthrew the govern- | ment because Prio planned a coup to perpetuate himself in power. Prio called this “pure fiction.” Food Prices Have Dropped WASHINGTON (#—Lower prices for meat, eggs, fresh and dried vegetables, cows, hogs and live poultry caused a 2-10 of 1 per cent | drop in wholesale prices during the week ended Sept. 2. | The Bureau of Labor Statistics, announcing the decline Friday, | said increases were reported in cheese, coffee, flour, cotton, grains, steers and fresh fruits, but they were not enough to offset the de- clines. The bureau said its index of Sept. 2 was 111.8 per cent of the 1947-49 average. Small Craft Hug Virginia Shore MIAMI (Small craft hugged the shores of North Carolina and ricane churned the ocean 300 miles east-southeast of Cape Hatteras. A high pressure area moved over Friday from the Middle Atlantic and New England states to block the tropical storm away from the American coastline and it ground almost to a stop. “If the hurricane is moving at all, it is moving very, very slowly northward,” said Miami’s chief storm forecaster Grady Norton. Highest winds were estimated at 100 miles an hour over a small area to the northeast of the storm center, Gales extended outward 150 miles to the southwest and 250 miles to the north. and east. “Until the high pressure area moves out of the way,” Norton said “we don’t know what the hur- ricane will do,” have an option to buy, was re- ferred to the planning board for action with a recommendation that the block be changed from a Residence “A” to Business “A” classification to permit the change.

Today’s Business Mirror By SAM DAWSON ~ NEW YORK (#—The day of the superspeedy jet commercial air liner over American skies appears still to be about five years off— whether it’s built by the British or the Americans, Keen rivalry between the Brit- ish—who already have jet airliners operating in Europe and Africa— and the Americans is stepped up by two developments: 1. Executives of two U. S. air lines who have been looking over the British built Comet say Brit- ish construction methods are too slow—and the American orders the British hoped for have gone glim- mering for the time at least. 2. An American aircraft builder —Boeing Airplane Co., Seattle— has jumped into the jet commer- cial plane field. The British offered to fill the discussed American carrier's or- lers for jets by 1957. Boeing’s initial model of a jet ransport plane will be ready to est in the summer of 1954, It, too, wobably would be ready for the tirlines to purchase in 1957. Other American aircraft build- rs have blueprints of jet com mercial airliners and have been willing, and anxious, to build them. ‘The roadblocks to build and test a model and get full seale pro- duction going costs millions of dol- lars. Aircraft builders would like the airlines to put up part of that money. Even the U. S. government has talked of helping with a sub- sidy. The presidents of both Pan American and Eastern Air Lines have looked over the British Com- et and talked terms. It was said in air circles here that a chief purpose of their trips was to nee- die American aircraft makers into getting started on jets. The Brit- ish company, with government fi- nancial aid, got a long head start on the Americans, But Capt. Edw: Vv. Ricken- yacker, president Eastern, re- turned to New York today with the statement he’d like to buy 35 to 50 of the new type Comets but couldn’t get them until 1957. Another U. S. air carrier offi- cial—C. R. Smith, president of American Airlines—said the jet transport airplane is still so ex- pensive to operate that it’s no good for U. S. air routes at present fares. The jet takes twice as much fuel to go the same distance, But they get there faster, and they burn cheaper fuel. Sport Shorts CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. @#—In 1950 Calvin Ermer managed Or- lando in the Class D Florida State League and won the pennant. The next year at Charlotte in the Class B Tri-State League he won an- other pennant. Again Ermer moved up. The Washington Senators named him to their top farm club, the Class AA Chattanooga Lookouts of the Southern Association. Friday night Ermer clinched an- other pennant when Chattanooga moved four games in front of At- lanta with only two days remain- ing in the season.

ARROWSMITH KASSON - DODGE CENTER, Minn. (®—Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson bidding against Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower for farm belt votes, today assailed Republican agricul- tural policy and declared the na- tion’s farmers stand to gain most under a continued Democratic re- gime. Stevenson, the Democrats’ can- didate for the White House, de- pones the farm plank drafted at the GOP convention—held near ! the stockyards—as one of the prod- ucts of “the Chicago slaughter.” He said that on the other hand he is proud of the work his party has done in the last 20 years “to restore the American farmer to a position of equality and dignity in our national life.” In a speech prepared for deliv- ery at the national plowing con- test, Stevenson was going before thousands of the country’s farm- ers just a few hours after Eisen- hower, his Republican opponent, spoke from the same rostrum. | Stevenson gave wholehearted en- dorsement to the Democratic farm plank—“no ifs, buts or maybes about this’—calling for mandatory price support of basic agricultural commodities at no less than 90 per cent of parity, the formula calculated to give farmers a fair return in relation to the price of | things they buy. | ‘The party plank, said Stevenson is clear, definite and sound, and he added: “I can stand on it without squirming. I feel no need to modify this provision or that, to explain or to reinterpret, to dodge or to hedge.” The Ilinois governor thus lined up in support of the farm policy | President Truman also endorses— and he took a page from Truman’s 1948 book in roundly denouncing the Republicans regarding farm matters, ‘Truman’s victory four years ago has been credited largely to his success in carrying farm states the Republicans had counted on winning. Stevenson flew to Minnesota from Denver, where Friday night he, began a nine-state Western tour. He was scheduled to leave by plane shortly after the plowing contest speech for an address in Cheyenne, Wyo., tonight. In promising support of the par- ty’s farm plank, Stevenson said: “Food prices are high enough today, heaven knows. But supports are not the reason, High employ- ment and strong purchasing pow- er—in short, prosperity—are keep- ing most farm prices above sup- port levels. “What the support program does is to encourage farmers to grow more food. You can now plant erops fairly secure in the knowl- edge that prices will still be good at market time. “That is one reason farm pro- duction has increased almost 50 per cent in the last 20 years.” Stevenson said more than half the Republican members of the jHouse of Representatives voted against a law, enacted just before Congress adjourned, which extend- ed price support at 90 per cent of parity through 1954. $46M Embezzled From Fla.
