Is Uncertain AFL, CIO, Government Data in Conflict |, WASHINGTON, Apr. 25-—Con-

should not be regarded as an ex- _ act measurement of union strength for any given time or any given year.” Albert 8. Epstein, of the Inter- . national Association of Machinists (independent), recently criticized the government tabulation in an

He placed full faith in the membership figures of his own union and the AFL, which are based ‘on per Sapa dues payments to the cen-

tioned particularly an estimate of six million members for the CIO.

According to Mr. Epstein, the arin Agurs for the CIO would aroun million as against the 7 to 8 million claimed, with some substantiating evidence, for the AFL. The CIO has not challenged the Epstein analysis, but is still claiming the larger figure. Mr. Epstein pointed out, however, that “it is well to bear in mind that the CIO alone has as many members today as the whole trade union movement had in 1936, when the Committee for Industrial tion was suspended from the AFL. The total membership of all unions was then placed at 4,164,000. Thus, trade union membership as a whole has grown more than three-and-a-half fold since that time.”

Unlike the AFL, the CIO makes!

no public reports of dues payments, and its membership estimates are based almost entirely on statements, formal or informal, by its officers, But even in the AFL the capita figures are not ——. guide, because the AFL has no way of admitting the payments by its autonomous unions. They can pay on more or fewer members than they actually have. For instance, the Teamsters union pays taxes on about 600,000 members, but it claims actually to have more than a million. This sometimes producés quarrels among big AFL unions which suspect others of padding their membership figures to achieve_more voting power. The CIO claim of six million received a joit in the CIO's last convention. President Philip Murray, in criticizing three left-wing unions for failing to develop their fields, said they had only 101,000 members instead of the 255,000 they claimed. James H. Durkin, president of the Office. and Professional Workers, replied that the CIO’s.total membership was only 4,200,000.

Defense Moves to Quash Coplon Case

WASHINGTON, Apr. 25 (UP) —The espionage trial of Judith Copion, former Justice Depart ment analyst, opened today with a defense attempt to get the case thrown out of court. Miss Coplon, petite 27-year-old Barnard College honor graduate, is charged with s secret government papers for Russia. The moment the trial started, Chief Defense Counsel Archibald Palmer of New York moved to quash the two-count indictment on grounds that nine of the 17 grand jurors who returned the indictment were government employees. Prosecutor Fritz Strine maintained that if government emplyees were otherwise qualified they were eligible for grand jury duty. Federal Judge Albert L. Reeves of Kansas City, Mo., did not immediately rule on the motion. Miss Coplon was arrested Mar. 4 in New York: with Valentin A. Gubitchev, a Russian engineer then employed at United Nations headquarters. FBI agents, who trailed the pair for several blocks before seizing them, said they found typewritten summaries of restricted government documents in the girl's purse.

The date of the transfer depends on how soon Vice Admiral Alan G. Kirk takes over the ambassadorship vacated. by Gen. Walter Bedell Smith, George V. Allen, assistant secretary of state for pubiic affairs, confirmed reports that Mr. Thayer is to be transferred. Other sources revealed that Mr. Kohler would be the new boss of the “Voice.” Not Forced Out Mr. Allen stressed that Mr. Thayer was not being forced out of the job. He explained that under the law, a foreign service officer can serve only three years in the United States unless the department grants him a one-year extension. “Mr. Thayer now is working on his one-year extension,” Mr, Allen said. “That will be up in July. But it will be August or September before the transfer becomes effective.” Sources outside the department sald that Mr. Thayer's removal would have come about regardless of the expiration of stateside tour of duty. They contended it was a matter of needing a “different type” of administrative set-up for the enlarged “Voice” organization. It was explained that an attempt was made to im<rove the efficiency of the organization about six months ago when a inew business administrator was named to work with Mr. Thayer. Disclosure of Mr, Thayer's forthcoming transfer brought immediate reaction on Capitol Hill Sen. Karl E. Mundt (R. 8, D.) said he might introduce an lamendment to the Voice legisliation permitting the State Department to retain specialized officers in this country fur longer than
