Hubert Humphrey, Senator-elect of Minnesota, in a stirring- address made before the national convention of the American Federation of Labor in Cincinnati, emphatically declared yesterday afternoon that the 81st Congress "will represent every American citizen, not just some." The Minnesotan whose defeat of Sen. Joseph Ball was considered a great triumph for labor told the cheering delegates at the Nether-land Plaza that the new Congress would give unstinting support to every piece of legislation that President Truman presented to it. abor must work with the party that won this election," he declared. "Every time you don't, Someone, comes around and ties you up." "Once we have adopted the platform of the Democratic Party, we will have a substantial economic floor under America We have been in the basement too long." HITS CLASS VIEWS.

Urging the AFL to adopt a broad legislative program, he asserted: "There is no room in America for the sectarian view. We don't need to judge ourselves class by class but on the basis of those who believe in democracy." The 37-year-old speaker who is Bow Mayor of Minneapolis emphasized that he hoped the Un'ted States could pierce the "Iron Cur-tin" with the philosophy of freedom. "A country that can sell tomato soup ought to be able to sell democracy," he declared. "I want to see more of the Mar-hall Plan and the Voice of America. "We want peace with liberty, freedom and hope.

"We are not the kind of people that will go to Munich." "DEVIL IV WHEELS." Humphrey, who is the father of four children, reported that he had been house hunting in Washington for the last five days. "I am going to be a devil on wheels when it comes to housing," he asserted. Attacking the National Home Builders Association and the National Association of Real Estate Board for blocking housing legislation, Humphrey pointed out that if Congress could supply barracks for soldiers then it could give every American the opportunity to own his own home. Humphrey called on the AFL to lead the fight for Federal education, terming it vital to national security and health. "This country," he said, "should have the greatest public education program the world has ever known." Atomic energy belongs to the people, he declared.

He asserted that it' should be kept under civilian control and not farmed out. CIVIL RIGHTS "MORAL." "I believe in civil rights because they are morally right," Humphrey taid. Humphrey denounced the vi-ciousness of anti-Catholicism and he. declared he was speaking as a Protestant. He termed the lack of -civil rights in this country as an "abscess consuming the strength of progress." The Minnesotan also came out strongly for the farm price support program, rural electrification reclamation and soil conservation.

"The Republican party starved social security to death," he declared. "Is it idealism to say thai Grandpa can't live on $38 a month? I say it is not. Using that tvpe of realism we intend to see that the old people of America are treated as human beings and given adequate pensions for their baic needs." liberation. Staring at the ceiling and blinking her big blue eyes, the 43-year-old defendant, who, earlier In the day, had shown another outburst nf emotion, maintained the siare as the verdict was read by Frank Kispert, Criminal Court, Clerk. Handclapping in violation of an admonition against a demonstration by Judge Hess was silenced by the bailiff's gavel.

Mrs. Watts still maintained her slare. After the jury left the room she told reporters: "Thank God. I'm an Innocent woman." A few minules later, as she was taken bark to the jail by Ray Kirs, bailiff, she said for a radio transcription: "I was innocent when I came in and Innocent when I left." To another question she said she was going to take a rest. HER SPIRIT BRIGHTENS.

The woman, who, her attorneys said, should not be "convicted" by public opinion or gossip based on false facts, showed, rather unemotionally at first, that her spirit had been bolstered after hearing the verdict by a jury of her peers. When asked by a reporter if she Intended to go on wild her plan to marry Larry Damen. her boarder, she snapped: "I'm not talking about that, you know. You'll have to ask Mr. Martin." Loyal S.

Martin, who. with Simon Leis, attorney, defended her on the charge during the 12-day trial, which started November 1, would not permit her to answer the ques-lon Thursday. She showed she did not want to answer on her first "free moment" since her arrest June 12. cc Picture On 12. The cold attitude was maintained until she reached the jail with Martin and Leis.

"If I only had my baby," she sobbed as she leaned on Martin's shoulder. Later after gathering up her belongings she went to her home at 4167 Forest Norwood. rOSES FOR PICTURES. Although she had told her attorneys that she wished to be taken immediately from the courtroom as soon as the verdict was read no matter what it was Mrs. Watts had a change of mind after hearing her acquittal.

She waited for eight minutes as photographers took picture after picture. She required no urging to make her short talk for dio. Although her mother and father, Kr. and Mrs. Albert DeVary, brothers and other relatives were Immediately behind her in the courtroom she did not turn to look at them as she left the courtroom.

(However, she returned later to greet them.) It was in the section of seats occupied oy her relatives that the handclapping had to be stopped. The court was filled to capacity when the verdict was returned. Without asking in so many word for an acquittal, Martin, in closine his argument, paraphrased the Judgment sermon of Jesus. Matthew 25, with the stirring words: Mother And Three Sons Die In Blaze Of Clothes Closet Vishinsky Charges Paris, Nov. 19 (API The United Nations Assembly defeated decisively tonight Russia's demand for a one-third reduction within a year in the armed forces of the five great powers and for the immediate banning of the a-tom bomb.

Instead the Assembly adopted a Western resolution calling for further study by the Conventional Arms Commission of steps which would lead toward eventual arms reduction. Before the decisions were taken John Foster Dulles of trie United States called the Soviet proposals "almost irresponsible" and a "cruel deception." He said the Russian re-solution was more dramatic than the Western proposal, "but it achieves drama at the expense of oversimplifying the problem." Andrei Vishinsky, Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister, charged that the United States and Britain were carrying on a "mad armaments race" against Russia. He accused the United States of building up a Western European system directed against the Soviet Union. The vote of the Russian resolution was 39 to Only the TiatUns in the Soviet bloc backed Russia's No. 1 project in the 1918 Assembly.

The Western resolution was approved 43 to 6 with one country, Yemen, abstaining. It means that the Conventional Arms Commission will study next year how to organize an international organ for the gathering of armament information from UN members. The majority does not plan that any such information will be submitted in the next year. VISHINSKY COOL TO WESTERN FLAX. In arguing for approval of the Soviet plan, Vishinsky called for the setting up within the range of the Security Council of an organization to which the five great powers would submit their information.

Russia would submit information on her armed strength to such a body when the United States, Britain, France and China turned in their figures, he declared. VishinsUy's statements In the final debate made it do.ihtful that the Soviet Union would take much interest the coming year's work of the Conventional Arms Commission. The Soviet delegate attacked the majority resolution as "hollow, empty and foggy." George C. Marshall, Secretary of State, met with British arid French Foreign Ministers to discuss the Ruhr. He also Will confer with Gen.

Lucius D. Clay. U. S. Military Governor for Germany, and Ambassador Robert Murphy, Clay's political adviser.

Those talks apparently will deal with the Berlin blockade and possibly other German problems. Marshall will fly back to Washington to repoit trt President Truman on Monday.

"MACHINE FOR NEW AVAR.

-It is in those circumstances, is it not, that the United states and the United Kingdom are taking up a leadmg against the democracies of the Eastern Republics. Vishinsky asked, adding: -It can be said that the United States and the United Kin 'dom have prepared a machine and are operating ha "for the conduct of a new war, and that that is now in high Vishinsky has made similar charts against the United and Britain several times at this session.

Robert Schuman, French Foreign ftrisier said the Soviet plan would deceive the world unless controls were established. "Come, Mary, enter into the joy of Thy Lord." Mrs. Watts sobbed much of the time during Martin's one hour and 40-minule oration.

She showed no emotion as Carson Hoy presented his argument. Hoy, taking 40 minutes for his argument, did not demand the death penalty but. asked for a verdict of guilty as charged. Martin said that it was from Mary Watts's lips that police, learned that he destroyed the pills, which became mixed with Barbara Ann'a Jelly beans. He said It was from the name lips that police learned of the destruction of paris green.

The fact that she told of these things proved her innocence, Martin argued. Statin that Mrs. Watts's every action was supported by neighbors and friends who showed she was a woman of finest character, Martin voiced another attack on Dr. Frank R. Dutra, Coroner's pathologist and the interrogation of the defendant.

DEATH AT FINGERTIPS. Stating that Mrs. Watts did not poison her husband, Willis, In 1944, Martin said: "She had death at her fingertips for two and one-half years and did not use it. She had hypodermics and morphine to easa his pain, and could have gotten rid of him any time she chose." "If this woman Is the coldblooded murderess, because sh wanted money and a boy friend, then send her lo the electric chair, for if that Is true there Is a criminal In the room," Martin continued. Arguing that.

Mrs. Watts did not poison her only daughter, Martin said, "Barbara! tired little heart just, got tired and quit. "We don't have a murderess, we have a dead baby and a mother with' a broken heart." QUOTES FROM BIBLE. Closing his argument, Martin drew tears from many in the audience, including relatives, and Damen, the boarder, the state charged washer "boy friend," when he said that, "at the end of time" Mary Watts would face another judgment. "On that morning the voice of scandal and the voice of malicious gossip will all be stilled, and outstretched toward her will be nail-pierced hands and a voice of eternal passion and of infinite love toward this lady saying: 'Come, Mary, you didn't kill the ones you loved, for I was hungry and you gave me meat; I was thirsty and you gave me drink; I was sick and you ministered unto me: I was naked and you clothed me; inasmuch as you have done this unto my brothers, you have done it unto me.
