But meantime, machinery for a general ofl strike was put in motion as O. A. Knight, O. W. I.

A committee member explained that Davis is running for re-election “and we don’t want to interfere with his campaign.” Under questioning by Committee Counsel Ernie Adamson, Browder testified that: ONE: He never advocated transferring the center of communist activities from Moscow to the United States. TWO: He never regarded either Mrs, Franklin OD. Roosevelt or the late President Roosevelt as communists. THREE— "For the last 10 years,” he has heard no Communist leader officially advocate establishment of a Negro soviet in the south. FOUR—The Socialist party in the United States is far from the basic principles of socialism and “the same could be said of some Democrats.” Browder declined to discuss his recent disagreement with Jacques Duclos, French Communist party leader.

Elsewhere in the. nation, a conference between Chrysler Corp. and CO. 1. O. United Auto Workers officials in Detroit on the union’s demand for a 30 per cent wage increase was recessed until Oct. 4. Similar demands have been served an General Motors and Ford, and strike votes will be conducted next month among G. M. and Chrysler employees.

On that date red stamps R1 through V1 in war ration book four will become good for 10 points each. Red stamps V2 through Z2 expire Sept. 30.
