Dixon, Illinois, Wednesday, November 30, 1949 Paje Two DIXON EVENING TELEGRAPH Hint New Moscow Attempt to Woo Labor, Hamper Recovery By PAUL UNDERWOOD London, Nov. 30 (AP) Moscow again is wooing Europe's Catholic labor unions to form a solid "front'' with Communist workers in what may become a new campaign aimed at disrupting the West's recovery program. The Russian-led Cominform (Communist International Information Bureau) in a resolution published yesterday after a secret meeting this month in Hungary urged Communist workers: "In the struggle for working class unity special attention should be given to masses of Catholic workers and working people and their organizations." Rift Rises This call coincided with a bitter rift which has arisen here in the organizational meeting of the anti-Communist free World Labor confederation over failure by its credentials committee to invite Catholic unions from Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Denmark and Luxembourg. Observers here felt that the Cominform have been well aware of this snub and had decided to take advantage of it. The Cominform resolution was also seen by most observers as an attempt to counteract the recent Vatican decree excom- mumcating uatnoncs wno mm-tantly support Communism.

Religion No It advised its followers to bear in mind "that religious convictions are not an obstacle to working unitj', particularly when this unity is needed to save peace." The observers noted that it is well-known Communist tactic, particularly where they are in the minority, to try to" create a "front" consisting of all parties on popular issues. They then see to it that they are in control of key positions in the front from which they can direct their campaign along Moscow-directed lines. This tactic was used with considerable effectiveness in Italy and France. French Invited France's Catholic unions were "invited to the London anti-Com munist labor conference. Italian labor leader Giulio Pastore threat ened to withdraw his organization from the new world group unless the Catholic unions were invited.

A heated row almost threatened to break up the budding new organization because of the omission. But it appeared today that speedy invitations would go out to the previously snubbed organizations in the hopes of bring about calm and unity to the anti-Com- mumst labor front. U. S. Delegate George Delaney of the AFL in Washington told uie conference: "Christian unions certainly are free and they certainly oppose Communism.

we want them here and I might say the Amer ican delegation preesnts a good example this respect. Estimated 5,000,000 Labor sources in London estimated that the Catholic Unions who were orieinally ignored repre sented about 5.000,000 members in Europe. The labor confederation itself hopes to bring strong anti-Communist ties to some 50,000,000 workers. Several delegates at the London conference predicted a new wave of Communist attempts to provoke strikes aimed at sabotaging European economic recovery. But in Rome a Catholic softrce said the Cominform resolution indicated the Communists were losing the battle for Western workers' allegiance.

The source said the creation last year of independent anti-Communist labor unions in Western Europe drew many members from the Communist-dominated groups. Many other Catholic workers ithdrew from these pro-Russian groups after the Pope's excommunication decree. Boy Who Killed Fraf Brother To Face Doctors Columbus, Nov. 3d (AP) James H.

Autoists May Get Gasoline Cheaper Soon By RADER WINGET New York, Nov. There's a tiny dip in gasoline prices that will bear watching. The average cost of fuel to the motorist is slipping away from the highest peak in 23 years.

The cause is the weather which has been blowing hot and cold at the wrong time. Carefully made calculations of petroleum experts have been upset. In their eirorts to do something about it, they have shaved prices on various types of fuel. Price Wars Again But in the midst of it. filling station price wars have broken out here and there around the country.

You shouldn't get the idea from all this that you can drive into your corner gas station and fill er up at a big saving toaay. Gasolme prices are on a regional Some dealers have cut and some haven't. And the price war areas are small. Throughout the United States, the average price of gasoline in filling stations of 50 representative cities started out this month at 20.33 cents a gallon. That is without taxes.

These average 6.64 cents a gallon, a record. mid-summer the average price was 20.41 cents a gallon in these same cities. That's the highest price on gas since the average for 1926 which was 20.97 Prices 'Inched' Down Right now the big- producers and distributors are inching their wholesale prices still lower by a few tenths of a cent along the eastern seaboard and sections of the south and midwest. Some have cut their prices at the retail level. The wholesale cuts are so and the general situation is so that there hasn't been a general move yet to pass the savings along to the ultimate consumer.

It all started back with the end of gasoline rationing at the close of the war. Motorists burned up the road and gas in a light-hearted release from wartime restrictions. Supply kept ahead of demand until the summer of 1948, when a lot of tanks went dry. But the petroleum industry met the chal lenge and produced the shortages out of existence. Balance Upset By the first part of this year the balance between production of gasolme and fuel oil was up set.

In making gas, too much fuel oil was produced. The two are tied together. With an over-supply of home oil early this year, the price headed down. This fall prices rose and producers waited for cool and cold weather to spur demand. But the mttstartifKf! faster warm-up!

DALLAS CRASH WRECKAGE This is a general view of the wrecked DC-6 which crashed at Love Field in Dal weather was fickle. It In this bout with the weather, I gasolme stocks piled up as heat-1 ing oil was produced in anticipa- tion of winter furnace demand. The current round of wholesale; price reduction on gasoline is aimed at the refiner, a spokesman for one larger distributor said, rather than at the motorist. He said the idea is to put the pressure of lower prices on the refiner to get him to cut back his gasoline production.

The reasoning is that the aver age motorist won't rush out and buy more gas if the price is lowered only a few tenths of a cent. Sharply lower prices might stimulate that kind of demand, but not a few pennies the motorist would save in a week of driving. The "BBC" in radio means the British Broadcasting Co.
