Green Offers "No Strike" Pledge for AFL HOUSTON, Tex., Sept. 16 (U.R) William Green, longtime president of the American Federation of Labor, said Saturday his group's 8,000,000 members will take a "no strike pledge anytime a national emergency demands it." Thus far, Green said, the government had made no request for the pledge, as it did during World War II. Green arrived today to direct the AFL's 69th annual convention, which opens Monday for a stand. "If the government asks for a pledge, we'll be very glad to give it," he told newsmen. Among other things, Green said: Stories that the AFL had lost about 100,000 members were untrue. The AFL has eained, not lost, membership. A major convention chore will be finding ways to exert more labor influence in national elections. An active campaign will be con tinued against the act and congressmen who sup ported or defended it. The AFL chief addresses the closing meeting of the Interna tional Labor Press of America, a department of AFL, tomorrow and then will deliver the convention keynote speech when the big meeting opens Monday. Other convention speakers will include Vice President Aiben W. Barkley, Secretary of Labor Maurice J. Tobin, Federal Security Administrator Oscar R. Ewins. and W. Averell Harriman, special assistant to President Truman. Sen. Wayne Morse, Republican of Oregon, adn Sen. Matthew M. Neely, Democrat of West Virginia, will appear before the convention as official representatives of the major political parties. 10-d- ay ke Taft-Hartl- ey GBS APPROACHING CRISIS IN ILLNESS LUTON, England, Sept. 16 (U.R) George Bernard Shaw is ap- proaching the crisis in his cour ageous uphill fight against the kidney complication that set in after an operation on his fractured left thigh bone.

Marquette voters learned Saturday that they had nominated a state hospital inmate as Democratic candidate for county treasurer. T. Edward Aho, of Negau-ne- e, who beat out Stephen J. Sarka of Marquette by 423 votes in last Tuesday's primary, .was committed to the Newberry state hospital as insane last July. Aho was committed to the hospital by probate court after his arrest for accosting and soliciting a child for immoral purposes. The problem of what to do in the November election has been turned over to state attorney general Stephen Roth. Aho's committment apparently received little publicity.

One of the first economic controls of the Korean war goes into effect Sunday midnight. It is designed to:- 1. Require bigger down pay ments and shorter pay-o- ff periods, tnereoy soaking up some of the "easy money" that inevitably accompanies a war. . 2. Reduce demands for durable goods which use such items as steel, aluminum, and rubber. The new regulation "W" will be administered by the. federal war-import- ant reserve board, as it was during World War II. The law places these bisic restrictions on the consumer: One-thidown on automobiles with 21 months to pay the balance. Fifteen per cent down on household appliances with 18 months to pay the rest. Ten per cent down on furniture and rugs with 18 months to pay the balance. Ten per cent down on residential repairs, with 30 months for amortization of the remainder. There will be no down payment requirements for items costing less than $100, but the instalment restrictions apply to such sales. rd ; 1 Airport MacArthur Goes Ashore At Inchon; Attackers NLRB Of Reaches Compromise Forced Out Push Forward Steadily Truman Fires Denham On $17 Billion Bill Senate, House; Croup Counsel Senate and house Sept. 16 (UP) conferees compromised on a $17,000,000,000 emergency spending bill Saturday to meet the Korean' crisis and the threat of new Communist aggressions.

The original house bill provided $16,711,000,000 in extra fundi to meet the extra costs forced upon the government by the Korean crisis. The senate, which started work later and received a flood of additional administration requests, voted $17,197,000,000. Arree on Cuts The conferees left untouched the senate provisions for $11,736, 000.000 for the armed forces and $4,000,000,000 to help rearm the rest of the free world against Communism.
