Bracken Lee of Price, the other oth-er to Mr. Latter. , Convention delegates late Saturday Sat-urday locked in an argument as to whether the federation should publish a state AFL newspaper, and there was a possibility this would extend the confab to Sunday. Sun-day. Mr. Latter, addressing a Saturday Satur-day session, declared that "production "pro-duction is going , to be the battle cry during the coming year," and said the AFL has . started a program pro-gram for more and more production produc-tion because it realizes the urgency urg-ency of the situation. His statement followed an ad dress by John M. Wallace, Salt Lake City, president of Walker Bank and Trust company, Friday afternoon in which Mr. Wallace said it may be advisable to declare de-clare this to be a year of production pro-duction emergency. Mr. Wallace said labor and management must come to some agreement which will outlaw strikes, and pointed out that the situation facing the natfon is optical. opt-ical. Mr. Wallace urged support by the labor federation of a proposed propos-ed state project to create a large public recreational area near Heber. Children could receive instruction in-struction in swimming, skating, and tennis; boating would be available at Deer Creek reservoir, jfcnd skiing facilities at Alta could 'be brought close to the area by a new scenic road, he said. In a talk Saturday, I. J. Cary, Provo, AFL organizer, stated that full support must be given by AFL members if that organiza tion is to continue as the representing repre-senting union for Geneva Steel company employes. Mr. Cary declared that orders had gone out by the CIO to organize or-ganize Geneva at any cost as it is the only major industrial plant that is governed by the AFL. He pointed out that at a national na-tional labor relations board meeting July 26, the AFL had been certified over the CIO as bargaining agent at Geneva by only one vote. "This was not much of a margin, and we must work hard if the AFL is retained as the bargaining agent," he said. Cointinuing, Mr. Cary said the AFL will never be able to organize or-ganize basic plants as long as the NLRB continues to refuse to recognize the law providing that employes may have any union they choose as bargaining agents. "Unless all AFL trade unions lend full cooperation, the NLRB I will throw ou$ any election and say they want an over-all union CALL 300 For Nationwide Moving Service!

AFL Defies WSB Ruling WASHINGTON, Aug. 24 (U.R) President William Green said tonight to-night the American Federation of Labor would "refuse to accept or comply with" a wage stabilization stabiliza-tion board ruling which denied two AFL seamen's unions wage increases above those granted CIO seamen last June. "We regard the WSB decision as a direct blow at free collective collec-tive bargaining," Green said. "We refuse to either accept or comply with the board's decision." . The board last night approved a $17.50 monthly wage increase for 31,000 members of the sailors union of the Pacific and the Seafarer's Sea-farer's International union. BQjt, it voted 4 to 2 against granting additional ad-ditional $5 and $10 increases on grounds that approval "would seriously weaken the whole stabilization program." (In San Francisco, Harry Lundeberg, SUP secretary, said his union had already wired Economic Ec-onomic Stabilizer John R. Steel-man Steel-man appealing the board's decision. deci-sion. Lundeberg said that the union's coastwise strategy committee com-mittee would meet late today to discuss the ruling, (He said the strategy committee's commit-tee's recommendations would be submitted to a union membership Monday and added: "There is a possibility that AFL seamen may not return to work after these metings.")

Cement Plant To Expand Details of a $2,000,000 expansion expan-sion program involving construction construc-tion of a complete new manufacturing manu-facturing unit at Devil's Slide in Morgan county were announced an-nounced Saturday by officials of the Union Portland Cement company com-pany at Salt Lake City. The present plant at Devil's Slide has been in operation fort nearly 40 years. Decision to build an entirely new plant was made due to the unprecedented demand for cement ce-ment in the rapidly growing Salt Lake and Utah valley areas, and the company's faith that the growth will continue, officials said. The new plant will include an entirely new crushing unit, the rock being handled by belt conveyor con-veyor to the grinding department. Two new kilns, wet process, nine feet six inches in diameter by 375 feet long will be installed, together with sufficient finish grinding capacity to take care of the output. Cedar City Man Killed CEDAR CITY, Utah, Aug. 24 (U.R) Abram Owen Young, 32, Cedar City, was killed Friday when his automobile crashed into a guard rail and overturned, two miles north of St. George.

Utahn (Continued from Page One) Byrnes, Thomas asserted. In addition ad-dition he said, ranking department depart-ment oficials have all but ceased their visits to foreign relations committee meetings, and the group has held only routine sessions over the past months. Thomas said only two senators have been in contact regularly with the' department on foreign policy matters, an apparent ref erence to committee chairman Tom Conally, D., Tex., and Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg, R., Mich., who have served as Byrnes' ad visers. Connally is now in Paris with Byrnes and Vandenberg left today for the peace conference. Thomas said most members of the foreign relations committee I are required to gain their infor- mation on the difficult peace negotiations only through fragmentary, frag-mentary, second-hand accounts. ' It is upon such "fragmentary" in-! formation, Thomas added, that senators must rely in preparing to vote on ratification. A two-1 thirds senate vote is required to ' approve treaties.

A combination of curves proved too much Friday night for a 17-year-old Springville youth, who rather sheepishly told Provo officers of-ficers he failed to make a turn and crashed a utility pole because be-cause he looked too long at two pretty girls. The boy hit the pole at 120 South Second East. Brought before be-fore Juvenile Judge Dean E.

Ukraine (Continued from Page One) Yugoslavia over the downing of two American planes. First reaction to the Ukrainian move against Greece was it could be designed as a counter-irritant to the United States in the sense that it would divert attention Wrom the American-Yugoslav dispute and counter an American complaint to the council. Two other possible motives were cited by UN diplomats, however. how-ever. One was that the Ukraine, carrying car-rying much of the burden of Soviet Sov-iet Russia's fight against Greek demands at the Paris peace conference con-ference for a slice of Albania ter ritory, has spread this fight to; the United Nations. United Nations. It was possible, too. that the Ukrainian action was timed to in-! fluence the current disagreement in the security council over Albania's Al-bania's application for membership member-ship in the world organization. 5 S &4 m. 11$ 4 i v II m ft 1 I t--v-r"" - TO $AVE MONEY Malone Electric Col Certified INDUSTRIAL.

Abe Murdock is heavily influenced by the political action committee of the CIO, A. V. Watkins Republican Repub-lican nominee for U. S. senate fired his opening gun here last night in his campaign to defeat Murdock this fall. Watkins, who recently won his party's nomination by a three to one margin in the runoff election, let loose with both barrels against Murdock and the New Deal at a GOP rally and mass meeting here Saturday night. "The alliance between the radical, rad-ical, dictatorial, inner circle labor leaders and the leaders of the party In power has all but wrecked wreck-ed that party," Watkins declared. The only way to end that radical domination of a great historical party is to put that party out of Dower long enough to get rid of those who dominate it. They feed on power. The weapon at hand to accomplish that objective is the Republican party and it is the only means now available. Loyal citizens of all schools of political belief should not hesitate hesi-tate to use that weapon. Surely a party label is of very small importance im-portance compared with our country's future welfare" he said. Another important issue which will become more apparent as the campaign grows older is the question ques-tion of whether the people of this state will elect a senator to represent all the people or whether they will choose one who will represent only an organized minority and who will take his inspiration, if not direct orders, from a small select, inner circle of CIO-PAC leaders in Washington. Washing-ton. "The CIO-PAC has announced it is gathering a fund of $6,000,-000 $6,000,-000 for use in this campaign. That is just twice the amount . that both major parties will have to spend. Some of this $6,000,000 will be spent in the Utah campaign. Is there any question as to where this support will go? One thing certain they will not support me and my associates. "How Utah voters will react to this "foreign invasion" I cant answer. But as far as I am concerned con-cerned I will fight with all my power. And I believe I shall have the support of thousands of Utah voters, including many of the rank and file members of ther CIO unions who are becoming tired of the dictatorial attitude of the PAC group and their tie in with the communists. "These members, and thousands of others in rival unions are also becoming conscious of tne menace men-ace of communists to the labor movement in America.
