“It is not surprising to anyone that our investigation revealed fam{ly deterioration and disintegration on a large scale. It takes a family of stout fiber to stand up under such adverse economic circumstances.” . Breakdown in Program The survey experts declared that there has been a general breakdown in the original purpose of aid to dependent children to keep the mothers at home instead of forcing them out to the factories and offices. “The natural restlt of inadequaté aid to children is the great emphasis on mothers seeking employment,” the report said. “This results in delinquency among children deprived of supervision by their working parent.” Aside from the statutory limitation on aid for children, the report severely criticized the “actual withholding of aid to children in families that might be considered eligible.”

Joseph J.

Argentine’s Plan Loses At Rio Parley

Marshall Also Suffers Setback

By R. H. SHACKFORD United Press Staff Correspondent

PETROPOLIS, Brazil, Aug. 23. ~The United States today won

proposal toc differentiate between aggression from within and without the westétn hemisphere. Argentina Delegate Pasqual La Rosa conceded Argentina defeat after a closed subcommittee meet-

He sald a “compromise” between the conflicting American and Argentine viewpoints was being drafted. However, he admitted that the United States view—not limiting the definition of aggression to that threatened within the hemisphere -had won out. :

The compromise may take the form of specifying some procedure for arbitration and consultation in {advance of sanctions. However, the decision yesterday [to hold a Pan-American economic conference late in 1948 was regarded as a setback for U. 8. Secretary of State Marshall. This action has removed the principal obstacle to an agreement to a common defense program in the hemispheric security conference here, If such issues as U. S. loans to Latin-American countries on a lendlease basis had been brought on the conference floor for a full-dress debate the United States would have been placed in an embarrassing position.

Britain Wins Relaxation

Of Loan Terms WASHINGTON, Aug. 23 (U.P) ~~ Britain was apparently assured today of major American concessions to Bolster up her tottering economy. The week-long bargaining of the Anglo-American “dollar” conference ended last night. Secretary of Treasury John W. Snyder turned over to fiscal technicians the job of putting in writing the agreements made. Sir Wilfrid Eady, chief of the British mission, will return to London immediately. Britain won at least one—and possibly both—of t..c major concessions in the rules governing the $3,750,000,000 American loan now almost all spent.

On page 52 I find: “The number of parcels dispatched yearly to the @rovinces by the Bon Marche stores is one million, for a considerable portion of the sales are effected by correspondence.” Just try walking into a sprightly salon, which is simply seething with brilliant bon mots, and loosing that little gem into the air.

Resolution Passes After Bitter Argument

By FRED W. PERKINS

-Howsrd Steff Writer , Aug. 23—Just be-

fore the International union (A, F, of L) adjourned its 89th annual conyention late yesterday, the leaders moved to get right with the public on fhe question of Communists in union offices.

It rushed through a last-minute

pesolution, sponsored by Woodruff Randolph, the president, and by other international officers, refusing to accept the principles of communism and the leadership “of those who associate themselves with coamunism, as now advocated and practiced.” :

At the same time the resolution

denounced “the hysteria of antilabor forces"

and declared that weapons leaders Com-

It continued that “we rely on the

‘one of their labor

democratic principles of our country and the good sense of our people to keep these principles alive and functioning.”

Indianapolis Motion Beaten This action was to correct an impression that might have been left by an earlier action. That was when the leadership beat down a change in the union's laws which was aimed at preventing Communists or believers in forcible overthrow of the government from becoming candidates for I. T. U. international offices. Mr. Randolph said this proposed change was “totalitarian” and might enable any administration of the union ta perpetuate itself by pinning the Communist tag on opposing can didates, This was denied by Charles D. Tucker, of The Indianapolis Times who is a leader of the I. T. U's minority faction. The issue produced some heated moments and brought into the open some of the bitter internal politics of this union, which

A, Power sald the resolution was the basis for “a smear, a cowardly attack.” He said he was as good an American as anybody, and no Communist, but wouldn't stand for the red herring being dragged in. Sees Personal Attack Mr. Randolph chose to regard the anti-Communist resolution as

fellow travelers. The convention upheld Mr. Randolph by a big vote, and then Leland Shores of St. Louis tried to get the convention to adopt some kind of anti-Communist declaration. He was ruled out of order, and later he was refused recognition. Mr Shores also is one of the minority faction, The outstanding convention action was to adopt a policy of making no written contracts with employers, and to insist on nothing but “conditions of employment” prescribed by the union. Their primary objectives are to maintain a bar against non-union men and to protect the I. T. U. from the Taft-
