CIO Convention To Hear AFL President Meany To Speak At Cleveland Conclave CLEVELAND (INS) — One of the big steps unity will be taken today when AFL President George . Meany addresses the annual convention of the CIO Auto Workers Union in Cleveland. Meany, who with CIO President Walter Reuther worked out the merger of the two labor organizations, will be the first AFL official to address a CIO meeting since the latter group was formed 20 years ago. Meany’s talk comes on the heels of a blistering attack on President Eisenhower by Sen. Matthew Neely (D-West Virginia) who addressed the 3,150 UAW delegates Monday. In a lengthy talk, Neely criticized Eisenhower for “connecting religion with politics," and added that the President “never joined a church until after he became President. Since then his attendance at church has been well publicized." Neely’s stinging attack on the President was followed by heated debate on the resolution to build a $25,000,000 strike fund to back up demands for a guaranteed annual wage in contract negotiations with the Ford Motor Co. and General Motors this year. The main argument did not center over the collection of an extra $5 a month dues but whether the strike benefits should be paid to strikers as a matter of "right" Instead of “need.” The delegates are expected to have more discussion and approve the resolution after Meany delivers his speech. Neely’s speech Monday drew return fire from both the White i House and also from GOP law- - makers. > The West Virginia Senator said that there were two towers of confusion in the world: “The tower i of babel and the Eisenhower ad- ■ minisratlon." > He added that he didn’t think ■ “Mr. Eisenhower wants to hurt the majority of the American people. I don’t think he is that kind of man. He just doesn’t know what it’s all about. He is like Alice in Wonderland.” r GOVERNOR > (Continued from Page One) that he had carefully considered i their demands and felt that “most . of them are reasonable and are - due full consideration." He prom- » ised them he would conduct a i complete, fair and impartial investigation of their charges and i complaints. i- 11 I New Delhi — India has about ; 266 million acres under cultivation and more is being added.

Potato Producers Hail Achievements Research Key To Output Increase WASHINGTON (INS) — The national potato council says It’s to the consumer’s advantage that many farmers, because of climactic or seasonal factors, specialize in growing potatoes. The council's argument is that since such producers have to acquire a large amount of know-how they naturally (urn out a product of higher quality than would otherwise be the case. Potato growers are quite proud of their achievements in boosting production pbr acre and in pulling themselves out of a serious hole, when the government gave up in disgust a few years back after its disastrous attempt to bolster the price of tubers. Since then the industry has received very little help from Washington. Last year the government spent about $800,090 to tako some low-quality potatoes off the market and it is doing the same thing this year. - —. But the amount now being spent to channel cull tubers into potato flour and other diversionary uses is a piddling sum compared to outlays for price supports in past years. The council points out that average U.S. potato yields per acre rose from about 121 bushels in 1939 to 253 bushhls last year. It says: "Research, in a large measure, is the key to increased production. Research in every phase of the industry—seed, soil, breeding, planting, growing, harvesting, shipping, storing and marketing has combined with improved equipment, better weather information and greater know-how on the part of the farmer." The increase in yield per acre has. however, created some acute problems. It means that production has beep able to make such strides that output continues to outrun demand even though acreages have been cut back sharply in recent years. . There is also the well-known fact that consumers just aren't eating as many potatoes as they once did. This is one aspect of the situation which the agriculture department is actively trying to Improve. Department research has been directed — with considerable success—toward developing new and attractive potato products with consumer appeal. — : 4
