Steel Union Head Gives Testimony Says Strikes Tough On Union Members WASHINGTON UP — President David J. McDonald of tftie\ CIO United Steel Workers told congress today that strikes are harder on his mennbers than the steel ,Company owners. ? . In testimony prepared for the house labor committee, which is studying proposed changes in the Taft-Hartley law, McDonald said the union is ‘vitally interested” in settling national emergency disputes without resorting to strikes. "We do not lightly engage in strikes,” he said. “We are aware of the consequences to all concerned—to the nation, to our members and their families, and to the employers. “A cessation of operations afftects our members more intimately and deeply than it does e’ther the employer or the Stockholders.” The USW president said his union could not be fairly accused of “indifference to the welfare of the; nation” in the light Os its record in the three strikes called sfeiceT. was founded in 1936. "In each case we postponed our strikes when so requested by the government,” he said. "In bach case, we accepted > governmental proposals for settlement of the dispute, despite the extent to which these proposals denied what we considered reasonable requests lor improvement ip working con 11tions.” \ Plan Refreshments • At May 9 Festival 11.

Communist Party Deep Underground Change Organization To Avoid Detection WASHINGTON UP — The U. S. Communist party has revamped its whole organization In order to protect it® own internal security and aVold detection. ’ The process began long before the subversive activities control board hatided down its ruling early this week that the party Is a Moscow-controlled fifth column that must register its membership with the justice department. ■ A court fight over the 'ruling prptoably will hold up enforcement erf tihe order for at least a yeat. Meanwhile, authoritative sources said, the party is already burrowing deep underground. A radical change in the party’s “apparatus” began to take effect shortly after 11 top Communist leaders, were convicted in New York in 1949 of conspiring to teach Violent overthrow of the government. ; Party leaders werje alarmed because the trial disclosed that FBI undercover agents had infilltrated the party from top to bottom. Then and there, they ordered a “loyalty purge’’ to weed out all but the tried and proven borps of fanatical Communists. But still they weren’t sure of the effectiveness of the: purge. As more and more second string leaders were rounded up over last two| years, the pjarty went underground. And pre'sumaibly FBI informants went underground with: (FBI. director J. Edgar Hoover described the situation recently in testimony before a senate appropriations subcommittee. He said his agents havd a ‘far difficult” task noiw in keeping up with the parly. ■ \ CThe \party records are now destroyed; no paHy dards are Issued. Their operations have been completely decentralized and many of the\ district headquarters have been ail)andoned; with the groups l>eing broken dp into groups of five or jess, making it more difficult to cover; their activities.” He sad the Cdnhunuhists use disgusee to throw off FBI agents \an* jneet in public parks and at "alleged picnics.” V It is t|he tiny size of the new "cells" ttyat is tie keystone of the party’s \ "internal security program” \ The idea is that if anyone decides to talk to the FBI, he won’t be ahle to parne many names. i I : I . • I'' ' ■ ' | ~ 'I- | If you have something to sell or rooms for rent try a Democrat Want Add.

Stale To Post More Speed Limit Signs Thousand More To Be Posted Soon INDIANAPOLIS UP — Governor Craig’s office announced today that another 1,000 |BS-mile an hour speed ;limiit signs would be posted in "strategic” \ spots along Hoosier highways knd warped the new speed -law would be enforced by the end of this week. At the same time it was announced that 52 narrow bridges in Indiana’s state highway network would be widened in the governor’s traffic safety program.

The project was seheduled to be completed within the next two yeal-s. \ The narrow spans are located on the following state highways: 67, 41, 33, 28, 37, 24, 53, 136, 62, 15. 421, 59, 19, 1, 39, 313, 550, 56, 13, and Cudahy Meat Plant ! Closed By Strike | . Protest Action By 2,300 Union Men OMAHA UP — .A “protest action” t)y 2,300 United Packinghouse Workers union members kept the big Cudahy meat pack ing plant closed here todayyfor the second day. Union Local No. 60 scheduled a mass meeting at 9:30 a.m. Thursday, indicating the work stoppage would continue at least through part of Thursday. Union leaders said the dispute over job classifications in two departments would be discussed at the meeting. The company said the “illegal” strike continued with pickets carrying placards at Whe firm’s gates. The union said it was “not. at. strike, but a protest action” and denied picket lines had been established. Company officials, apparently waiting for results of. a meeting of representatives of all Cudahy local unions in Chicago, indicated no negotiations with the union were in progress.

The union claimed its members should hold jobs in two depart-, ments now held by company foremen. At Chicago, a UPW spokesman said similar job difficulties existed at other Cudahy plants but he did not expect work stoppages at these plants. \ U. N. DEMANDS (Continued From Page Owe> pitals.
