6 (Details in Sports Section POLITICS NOW ON AFL AGENDA Union May Form League For Election Campaigns By ttrLF.X vlucn ISim Staff Correspondent San Francisco, Oct. 11 The American Federation of Labor's executive council today announced that it wants to establish "Labor's Educational and Political League" in order to further the AFL's "economic and political policies." The council will mesent the re. quest in a report to the delegates at the AFL's sixtv-sixtli annual mn. vent ion here on Monday, and a vote will bo taken on it sometime during the week. Departure From Tradition The move Is a denarture from the AFL's strict tradition of not getting involved in oolities to the extent of an out-and-out planned program.

The league is needed, the coun cil's report says, because of "the failure of the Eightieth Congress to serve the people, its abject servility in advancing the interests of the most reactionary anti-labor lobbies and combinations, and the wave of legislation against labor in tne various state legislatures. A minor floor fieht mav orrur hi. cause of the union's tradition since 1881, but it is expected that the council proposal will receive the approval of the delegates here who have throughout the past week applauded loudly whenever anyone irom tne piatiorm asked them to cet out anrl vote affainst thf run. gressmen who supported the Taft-Hartley Act.

N.Y., Oct. 11 (JP). The United States today indorsed in principle the partition of Pales tine, but made no commitment of American military forces to guard the peace in the turbulent Holy Land.

The long-awaited policy declaration before the United Nations Assembly's 57-nation Palestine committee touched olf a bitter attack from the Arabs and drew expressions of satisfaction from the Zionists. Selecting his words carefully, Herschel V. Johnson, United States delegate, told the committee that the United States is willing to participate in a United Nations program to assist the parties in volved in the establishment of a workable political settlement. Delegates Listen Intently "We refer to assistance through the United Nations in meeting economic and financial problems and the problem of internal law and order during the transition period," he said. Johnson then added quickly that the "latter problem might require the establishment of a special con stabulary or police force recruited on a volunteer basis by the United Nations." Delegates listened intently as Johnson said in effect that Britain, as the mandatory power, was obli gated to continue ruling Palestine until the United Nations undertakes "to assume responsibility." A spokesman for the American dele gation said the United States held the opinion that Britain was not free to carry out her announced plans of withdrawing from Palestine until the United Nations had set up machinery to replace the British administration.

Ben-Gurion Hails Declaration In addition to indorsing the par tition of Palestine into Jewish and Arab nations, Johnson supported another majority recommendation of the United Nations eleven-nation special committee on Palestine calling for admission of 150,000 Jewish immigrants into the Holy Land during a two-year interim period. He suggested, however, that there be certain geographic modification in the partition lines, including turning the city of Jaffa over to the Arabs. In Palestine, David Ben-Gurion, chairman of the Jewish Agency Executive, commented that the Amer ican declaration of policy means an important step forward toward establishmen of a Jewish state." A spokesman for the agency here wel comed the speech and expressed the hope that the American indorse ment would prompt the United Na tions to vote partition. Arabs Show Bitterness The Arabs expressed surprise and bitterness at the American decision. Fan's el Khoury, chief Syrian delegate and a top Arab spokesman here, took the floor after Johnson spoke to reject partition once more and to charge the United States with exerting "pressure" on the United Nations in behalf of the Zionists, He termed the partition plan (Continued on Page 6, Column 2) AT STADIUM Scores In Final Two Minutes To End 10-Game Losing Streak Full page of pictures of the Navy-Duke football game at Stadium.

Sports Section. 3 Duke-Navy came presented with traditional features. 28 By ROBKBT KLMFR Navy and Duke battled to a 14-14 tie yesterday afternoon in the Sta-Ilium in the ninth renewal of their tootball rivalry. AH of the scoring and excitement was concentrated in the last, half, nd particularly the final two minutes when Navy struck from behind to gain the deadlock by marching C4 yards in nine plays for the touchdown. Just ten seconds remained when Bill Hawkins, Middie fullback, plunged over from the 1-yard line following a series of passes thrown by Bobby Home, sub Navy quarterback, who sparked the Tars' rally.

A crowd of over 35,000 turned nut in fine football weather for Navy's first of three 1947 appearances here. After watching two fine lines battle through a scoreless rt half, they saw the teams take im the air in the final half, and fcring the contest to its tingling f. nish with brilliant aerial peril rmance. Navy Losing Streak Ends The result shattered two streaks. For Navy the tie ended a string of en straight defeats which began after their opening game victory of Villa nov last fall and extended Into this season with successive ene-touchdown losses to California lind Columbia.

But he could kick extra points, so Hamilton brought him along today, and it was the Laplata (Md.) boy's toe which pulled Navy into its deadlock. It was his first varsity game.

After converting Navy's first touchdown which tied the score, 7-all, Wills then found himself occupying the spotlight, when with just ten seconds to go, his job was to kick the after-touchdown point with Navy trailing. 14-13. He again came through and the Middie bench practically mobbed him as he trotted oft" the field. While both teams threatened to FCore in the first half, neither could go the distance until each switched from a running game to passing. Navy twice held Duke in the first half en its two and seven-yard lines, while Duke in turn stopped Navy on its own 7 in the second quarter.

Duke Scores First The second half was like a different game. Taking to the air, Duke marched 73 yards for the game first score. Fred Folger, the visitors' star passer, capped the drive by throwing a five-yard pass down the middle which Buddy Mulligan took in the end zone. Paul Slephanz, who not only nerved Duke as its heavy-duty ball carrier, also placekicked both after-touchdown points. After making good his first boot, Duke led, 7-0.

Navy's team struck right back on the next kickofT. With Home, a replacement for Reaves Baysing-cr. taking charge of Navy's passing attack, the Middies soared 74 yards (Continued on 2d Sports Page Child, 3, Choked By Toy Balloon Freeport.

The child was Richard Lynn Ray-burn, son of Mrs. Helen Rayburn, a widow. Richard Lynn received the balloon at a birthday party and took it home. He decided to blow it up; but he could not muster enough wind to fill it completely and he finally gave up. The balloon collapsed, swished through his mouth and into his windpipe.

Mrs. Rayburn rushed him to a hospital, but the child was dead ton arrival. Lack Of Response London, Sunday, Oct. 12 (P) V. M.

Molotov, Soviet Foreign Minister, has complained to Gen. George C. Marshall. Secretary of State, the Moscow- radio said today. that the United States has not answered Russia's proposal to with draw from Korea and is hindering a settlement of the question.

A Moscow broadcast said Molo tov, in a letter dated October 9, recalled to Marshall that the So viet Union had suggested in the Joint Commission on Korea that both the United States and Russia withdraw their forces from Korea at the start of next year and let 1 he Koreans form their own govern ment. "Cannot But Hinder Solution" "Despite the fact that this pro posal was submitted by the Soviet. delegation at the joint commission's meeting as long ago as September 26," said the broadcast text of Molotov's letter, "the United States delegation has not yet given any reply, which cannot but hinder the solution of the Korean ques tion." Col. Gen. T.

F. Shtikov, chief Russian delegate to the commis: sion, submitted the proposal at a commission meeting in Seoul. Dispatches from Seoul at that time said some Americans there re garded the move as an attempt to avoid United Nations consideration of the Korean question. Request To United Nations The United States asked the United Nations Assembly September 17 to take up the Korean prob lem. Russia later said she was opposed to United Nations consideration.

Oct. 11 (IP) "I would give my last breath for the Democratic party," declared Attorney Harley A. Harmon, prominent Nevada politician, to a Young Democrats meeting last night.

He resumed his seat and a few moments later fell forward onto a table dead of a heart attack. He was 65. By HOWARD NORTON ISun Staff Correspondent Providence, Oct. 11 Whatever the political outcome of Henry A. Wallace's eleven-day tour of New England, the newsmen who fol lowed him agree that the Left-wing leader scored a resounding personal success.

Everywhere even in the hard- rock Republican states of Vermont and New Hampshire the former Vice President drew capacity or near-capacity crowds and almost invariably got warm response to his peace-with-Russia theme. Only a fair platform speaker. Wallace makes up for his oratorical shortcomings with an intimate, low-pitched person-to-pcrson sort of delivery that gives a ring of sincerity to what he says. Seldom Heckled In contrast to the ranting oratory of such figures as Dr Frank Kingckm, co-chairman of the Progressive Citizens of Amer ica, and Paul Robeson, the Negro singer ho preceded him on the platform at most of his New Eng land appearances, Wallace calm recital drew little applause. But at most appearances he kept his audiences intensely attentive and got almost no heckling at all.

His speech writers and advisers are trying to put more of the emotional appeal into his speeches, but in spite of their efforts-Wallace still talks like a combination professor and preacher, and his appeal is still primarily to reason and intellect. Circulating among the crowds leaving Wallace meetings one hears again and again such comments as: "I don't know whether he's got the straight dope or not. but he sure seems like a nice guy. His Advisers Differ Just where this "nice guy" is headed and what he is after are questions on which his most inti mate advisers disagree. All of them were with him here in New England for the first time since he became the Democratic bad boy a year ago.

And out of their strategy conferences, two schools of thought concerning Wallace's future appear to have crystalized. One school, centering in the West, feels that Wallace should make his big fight in '48, and that if he can't oust Truman or get one of his "liberal" friends on the (Continued on Page 2, Column 3) Rips Across Everglades; Communications Failing, Highways Submerged Miami.

Intensity of the winds was not known, the bureau added, but probably were still of hurricane force near the center. Expected To Hit Miami The center was expected to hit Miami in about five hours. The Florida Highway Patrol reported three feet of water over the Tarhiami Trail in some places. A bridge on that main artery of travel between the east and west coasts through the Everglades was out.

A foot of water was reported in Everglades city, on the west coast about 50 miles south of Fort Myers, and communication lines to that town were out. Two evacuation trains of 75 cars left Fort Pierce, for the Lake Okeechobee region to bring out the population if flood waters threaten that area. Called "Very Freakish" Grady Norton, chief forecaster, called it a "very freakish hurricane" and said it might lose some force while crossing the Ever glades, but predicted winds of 75 miles per hour for the east coast from the Greater Miami area northward beyond Palm Beach. "Torrential rains drenched the Miami area, accompanied hy lightning. In ten minutes, from 8.5fl to 9.08 P.M., the Weather Bureau recorded a record 1.34 inches of rain in Miami.

Mr. Vishinsky served notice that, when the committee meets again Monday, the Soviet delegation will "press" its own resolution, which holds the Greek Government, the United States and Britain responsible for current Balkan ills. The remedy it proposes is immediate evacuation of British troops from Greece and an end to American aid to the Greek Government.

Intelligence Chief Due To Cite Lack Of Security By PHILIP POTTER rSim Staff Correspondent Athens. Oct. 11 Maj. Gen. Stephen C.

Chamberlain, chief of the United States Army Intelligence Branch, is expected to report to the Department of the Army that the security situation in Greece is worse now than it was when the American mission to aid Greece reached this country. This expectation was voiced here tonight by American military observers who have noted the deterioration in the situation since the Government's widely heralded spring offensive, which had as its objective "the mopping up" of the Communist-led guerrilla bands in the mountains. Have Held Initiative The fact is that throughout the summer the bandits have held the initiative and the result of their operations has been a steady whittling down of the Government's authority along Greece's northern frontiers. The burning of the homes of Nationalists in the villages and the killing of hundreds of peasants have added to the Government burdens by the flocking of an estimated 240,000 refugees into the cities and larger towns. This year's short crops, due parti' to the drought and partly to bandit activity, are likely to be better than those of next year, since the fall planting has been seriously affected by the farmers' abandonment of their fields.

Pares Economic Funds Dwight B. Griswold, chief of the American mission to aid Greece, who has been forced to pare down the funds earmarked for economic reconstruction to increase the mili tary share of the $350,000,000 in American aid, told congressmen who recently visited the country that "nothing fundamental toward the restoration of Greek economy could be accomplished so long as the security situation remained unimproved." Another member of the mission, who spent many years In Greece before the war, said: "American aid is only" a stop-gap unless the border is dosed. Everybody in Greece Is living tentatively.
