THURSDAY, SEPT. 24, 1953 BLYTHEVILLK (ARK.) COURIER NEWS PA01 FTT1 AFL Calls for More Political Activity By NORMAN WALKER ST. LOUIS (AP) The AFL today sounded a call for stepped-up political activity after hearing a message from President Eisenhower that the Taft-Hartley law is essentially sound. AFL leaders seemed to take this to mean Eisenhower's administra- tloqgiintends to retain most major features of the union criticized labor relations law. Eisenhower's message, read to AFL convention delegates by Vice President Kichard Nixon, promised he will recommend T-H amendments to Congress next January to correct "a number of defects." James L.

McDevitt, director of the AFL's Labor League for Political Education, said in a. report prepared for delegates: "Let's go home from this convention and get the people we represent in action now." Eisenhower's message did not spell out what labor law changes he has in mind. He said the administration has the law under a continuing and critical study and will be prepared to send suggested changes to Congress in January. He said the general aims are to "remedy defects which cause concern on the part of working men and women over possible results and uses of the act to their detriment," to improve the law's administration, allow growth" of unions, a 1 and lessen "government interference" in labor relations. The convention heard addresses today from two mem- hers of Eisenhower's Cabinet, Secretary of State Dulles and Welfare Secretary Oveta Culp Hobby as well as from former President Truman.

Memorial Services Held Truman was to speak at convention memorial services for the late AFL President William Green and there was no advance indication he would engage in the running controversy between AFL leaders and the Eisenhower administration over Taft-Harfley changes. Nixon, in remarks of his own before delivering Eisenhower's views to the convention, said he was confident President Eisenhower hadn't broken his word on Taft-Hartley changes as claimed by former Secretary of Labor Martin Durkin, an AFL union leader. Durkin quit the Eisenhower Cabinet job two weeks ago. He said Eisenhower gave him a ,1 promise to support a set of 19 changes in the T-H law, but Commodity And Stock Markets- York Cotton (12:45 quotations) 3270 328S 3265 3310 3317 3306 3350 3356 3344 3369 3318 3364 Oct Dec Mc'n May New Orleans Cotton (12:45 quotations) Oct 3268 3280 3263 Pec 3310 3315 3303 Mch 3348 3355 3343 May 33C8 3315 3362 Chicago Corn Dec Mch Chicago Wheat Dec 1S3 Mch 191 is Chicago Soybeans Nov 259S'j -258ft Jan 263 260 Mch 263 260V 4 May 259 189 101 Vz 3266 3365 3263 3304 3344 3302 182' 194 260 258 later said he couldn't "go along" with the changes. Nixon said Eisenhower In 40 years of service to hts country "has never been guilty "of breaking his solemnly-given word on anything and I don't believe anyone can claim he broke his word in this instance.

"Misunderstanding Cited" "I know Martin Durkin and I also know the President of the United States," Nixon said, "and I consider them both to be honorable men." Nixon said there "apparently was a misunderstanding between them," a comment that brought a burst of laughter from the delegates, who had considerably more applause later for Sen. Wayne Morse (Ind-Ore). Morse said a comment made by Nixon that an administration message outlining T-H changes had been prepared for Congress indi- dicated Durkin was right about claiming he had an agreement. "The time has come to reject this kind of alibing you heard this morning from the vice Morse said. He called for election of a Democratic congress In 1954.

Nixon later talked with AFL leaders, including Durkin and AFL President George Meany, to get their suggestions for amending the T-H law. He said he was "working as a reporter" for the President in getting the view of labor officials on what changes they think should be made in the law.

ROBBERY Cars Collide on 61 Prank Reklski and Hcnery M.

With the vault finally open, the robber ordered Taylor to open the inner time safe, where the money Was. "I told him I didn't know if it would open," Taylor recalled.

The robber replied, "By God, It better." I was pretty worried," Taylor related "because the safe was set for 8 o'clock I started working with the combination and it barely clicked and opened." The robber repeated his earlier warning- "I'm fixing to take the money; don't try any funny stuff." Taylor assured the robber, "You can have the money; just leave me alone." While Taylor was putting the money in the cotton sack, the robber asked if there was an air hose in the vault. Taylor told him there were air vents. The robber forced Taylor to get on his knees facing the back of the vault and for the third time warned the manager against "any funny stuff." Taylor heard the robber walk away, slamming the vault door as he left. "As soon as I thought he was out of the bank," Taylor said "I started banging on the door of the vault and hollering." W. W.

Carpenter, operator of an adjoining drug store, and R. E. Jordan, a customer, heard him and came to the vault. The robber had left the bank door open. Working from Taylor's shouted nstructions, Carpenter and Jordan worked the vault's combination ock and freed the bank manager.

Taylor described the robber as apparently about 30, nearly six feet tall and weighing around 170 pounds. He wore brown coveralls, a dark felt hat and sun glasses. Scott Noel, assistant cashier of the parent Paragould bank, said loss in the robbery was covered POWs (Continued from Page 1) attitude of the entire Chinese people." The Allies Thursday boosted the number of missing United Nations soldiers for whom they demand an accounting from the Reds by 17 to 3,421. The Allies conceded at a meeting' of the armistice commission secretariat, that some POWs on the original list submitted Sept. 9 had been repatriated.

The U. N. Command deleted 27 names from the original list of 944 Americans, then added 41 more American names. They also added the names of two British soldiers and one Canadian. Two weeks after the Allies submitted the first list of 3,404 the Reds answered that most had never been prisoners.

The Communists said some died in captivity, while others either had been repatriated, had escaped, or had been released at the front during the war. The highest ranking American turned over to Indian custody is a sergeant. There were three Negroes. The Americans laughed and smiled as they were turned over to Indian troops. They talked in loud voices imd.

Wiley did not expand on why he felt that defense spending would have to be upped.

He renewed, however, his call for the administration to give the American people "the minimum facts about the menace to our survival." "Operation Candor is the prelude to Operation Survival," he said. "A people groping in 'the dark cannot come to sound decisions.

elated Press. She had just been notified that her 20-year-old son, Cpl. William A. Cowart was listed by the Reds as one of 23 Americans who had embraced Communism and elected to live behind the Iron Curtain. "This is the first time In life that he's ever done anything to make me ashamed," said Mrs.

Green, who had stubbornly refused to believe that her son was lost in Korean action. "There's nothing I can say I just don't know what to think," she cried. "I just can't believe that he refused to come home." Mrs. Green said she received her last tetter from Cpl. on May as.

She said her son wrote of the things he planned to do when he returned from the Bed prison camp. "He said he was going to make me quit work and we would take a long vacation," said Mrs. Green. "He told me about all the good times he was planning lor us to have." "I just can't believe that wouldn't want to come home he thought so much of his step-father and me (sic)," she cried in her disbelief. Mrs.

Green described son as "very stubborn once he's convinced that he's right." But, she added, "he wasn't very easily led, and I think that if he's staying with the communists, they are forcing him to do it." Cpl. Cowart. who entered the Army four days before he was 16 years old, was captured by the Communists July 12, 1950. When the exchange of prisoners started, Mrs. Green sat up night after night listening to the names of those being returned to the American territory.

No word was heard from Cpl. Cowart, and finally the Defense Department listed him as one of those believed to have been captured, but unaccounted for. Mrs. Green immediately started a single-handed campaign to find out about her only c'. lid.

She began getting in touch with each returning Arkansas POW to see if they knew of her son, Mrs. Green said then that she knew the job mould take time, but added: "I want to get In contact with all the boys who were released. Maybe one of them will know about my boy." She found out what happened to her son today from the Communists. Valentine the pretty shoes that feel so good. the New in Shoes!
