Page 8 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Monday, September 15, 1952 “Tke,” Stevenson Will Talk Before AFL Convention In N. Y. NEW YORK — Delegates to « the 7ist annual AFL Convention gathered today to hear an open- ing-day address by President Wil- liam Green, who has indicated the group will endorse Gov. Adlai B. Stevenson for president. Decision on a presidential choice fs expected to be made a week from tomorrow after the conven- tion has heard addresses by Ste- venson and his Republican oppo- neni, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. ‘The general will talk Wednesday, and Stevenson next Monday. The 752 convention delegates rep. resent some eight million AFL members. The AFL’s Executive Council filed a feport last night in which ft denounced the Taft-Hartley Act as a “dismal failure” and called the wage-price control program unfair to labor. Green made it clear at a pre- convention news conference that if the delegates decide on a presi- tial choice it will be largely — not entirely — based on the can- didates’ views and their party tforms regarding the Taft-Hart- y Act. Stevenson and the Democratic latform advocate repeal of the ‘aft-Hartley Act, and a new labor relations act. Eisenhower is against repeal, but has recom- mended revisions to improve the law without changing its “basic ciples.” “This is bound to have an effect on the delegates,” Green said. He added that they were waiting to “gee what Eisenhower has to say.” If the AFL Convention formally endorses either candidate, it will be the first time in AFL history. The AFL in 1924 backed the late Sen. Robert M. LaFollette, the Progressive candidate. But the ac- tion was taken by a special com- mittee — not by a convention as a whole. The AFL’s committee to oust facketeers from the ranks of un- ions began an investigation yester- day into the operation of some New York locals which reportedly have ex-convicts as officers. The Executive Council’s report gaid that while Congress has pro- vided an effective wage control program, it has shown ‘complete disregard” for its obligation to maintain equally effective price control. “The facts on the record,” the report said, ‘make crystal clear the conclusion that the Congress « « « has foisted upon the wage earners a shoddy price control pro- gram.” The committee’s report said the old Wage Stabilization Board has been “unjustly attacked in and out of Congress” for its handling of the steel wage dispute, and it said the CIO United Steelworkers were Jagging and trying to catch up. The report declared: “Far from being a leader in collective bar- gaining the steel union was found to be retarding the progress of ali other trade unions. No new poli- cies were created by the recom- mendations (of the Wage Stabili- zation Board) and no benefits will be received by other wage earners in America as 2 result of the steel @ase.” The report made several com- ments in the field of international affairs, including these: 1. It urged that a united and re- armed Germany be integrated in- % Western defense. It suggested ywever, that Chancellor Konrad denauer be ousted first because “the workers have no confidence fm the Adenauer government.” 2. The report, opposing Ameri- ty aid to Franco Spain, said: ‘An arrangement with this admir er and creature of the Nazi-Fascist Axis can only weaken the world | democratic cause, distort its pur- 3. Urging continued military and @conomi¢ aid to Western Europe, the report said: “It was unfortu- nate that in the transition from the ECA to MSA the economic aid aspect of American assistance to Burope was pushed too much | the background.” Father Of 13 Held For Murder RENSSELAER, Ind. ®—A rail- | road section hand was held today on a preliminary charge of mur- dering his wife, the mother of 33 children.

The statements were released yesterday by Maurice E. Bennett Jr., publisher of the magazine, while attending the 57th triennial General Convention of the Protes- | tant Episcopal Church in Boston.

Paden said he had been trying for three years, without success, to get official recognition of his church, Other Protestant denominations, including Methodists and Baptists, have experienced no such difficul- ties. The Church of Christ, which operates 22 churches and an or- phanage in Italy, is supported Texas. Paden announced Saturday that his group’s church at Alessandria was shuttered last Sunday, the Rome church had been ordered closed and the same action against the group’s other churches had been threatened. The church’s or- phanage at Frascati was closed in 1949 during earlier agitation against its activities but was al- lowed to reopen after Texas mem- bers of the U. S. Congress pro- tested to the State Department. Defying the closure order here, Paden opened the doors two hours earlier than usual yesterday morn- ing in the stone villa he uses for a church, within sight of Vatican City and Roman Catholicism’s first church, St. Peter’s Cathedral. Two policemen promptly took stations at the stairs leading to the bare second-story meeting room. A red riot jeep and some 20 plain- clothesmen backed up the block- ade. An American and an Italian pas- serby attempting to take pictures of the activity were carried off to a police station and held for two hours.
