Czech - Church Split
Nears; Britain’s
Gold Crisis Deepens
By The Associated Press
Vatican diplomatic representa
tives in Czechoslovakia were ac
cusel today by the Communist
Czech government of stbversive
plotting against the state.
Informants said the attacks
might mean the government is
>uilding up a case for severing di
olomatic relations with the Vati
can. This was interpreted as a
aighly important development in
‘he broadening church-state con
lict.
The attacks were in the form of
official statements and articles in
th controlled pr« . The govern
ment lkenea the situation in
Czechoslovakia to what it term
ed the Vaticon Mindszenty plot
against the Hungarian people’s
republic.”
Britain has called a British
Commonwealth Conference to deal
with ? deepeni ci. "~ crisis.
The finance ms the Brit
ish nations are faced with a se
rious problem of fast-draining
gold and dollar reserves.
Investors in England are selling
their government securities to a
serious extent. British manufact
ured goods are finding the going
hard in dollar arcas. Even sales
of raw products like tin, rubber,
cocoa and wool are falling off.
Finance inisters of Canada,
Australia, ]Cneylon, India, New
Zealand, Pakistan and South Afri
ca will confer in London early in
July with Prime Minister Clement
Attlee and Economics Chief Sir
Stafford Cripps.
ECA Revision
The crisis has come to a head
because the year-old system of
payments among Marshall plan
countries is up for revision. The
old system by which nations set
tled their affairs on a bi-lateral
basis ends Thursc . Britain wants
the bi-lateral system retained, be
lieving it is more -rsily controlled.
It does not provid~ for payments
in dollars. Some ~ther countries
ar> proposing that currency be
fully eonvertible in dollars and
gold as a spur to international
trade. The United States is sup
porting the latter system.

LEGENDARY CITIZEN
133-Year-Old
Jacksonville
. Do
Major Dies
JACKSONVILLE, fla., June 28
— (AP) — Death today claimed
Jacksonville’s most legendary citi
zen—Major James Edward Mon
roe—who claimed to be 133 years
old and the son of President James
Monroe.
He was once a familiar figure on
the streets of Jacksonville, parti
cularly on the Fourth of July
which was his birthday.
A full story of Monroe’s life
probably will never be written. His
memory got a little fuzzy in his
later days. There didn’'t seem to
be' any documentary proof of his
claim that he was born in Ashland,
Va., on Independence Day of 1815.
Nor had his claim to a share in
President Monroe’s estate ever
been legally established.
He called himself a soldier of
fortune and told of starting his
military career in the Mexican
War. He said he became a major
in the War Between the States
and lost the fingers of his left
hand fighting under General Lee.
The Major gave his recipe for a
long and happy life. Eat two
meals & day and believe in God,
he said.
Kill Klan Charter,
Ala. Assembly Urged
MONTGOMERY, Ala., June-28. —.(AP) — Attorney
General Albert Carmichael urged the Legislature today
to revoke the charter of the Ku Klux Klan in Alabama.
Carmichael advised members of the House and Senate
that they have ample authority to cancel the charter of
the Federated Klan, which was incorporated in Jefferson
county July, 1946,
g o e Tl e N s e e Sun dlads
The Attorney General cited sev
eral sections of the state constitu
tion to back him up.
Simultaneously in a prepared
statement to the press Carmichael
declared “clearly the activities of
the ¥y Xlux Klan are injurious so
the citizens of this state. These
activities have consisted of flog
gings, terrorization, and other law
less demanstrations contrary to all
accepted concepts of decency and
good order.” A
The Attorney General charged
further that “many innocent per
sons have suffered physical harm
at the hands of Klan members, and
countless others have been forced
to live in an atmosphere of un
certainty and fear.”
Klan leaders, however, have
denied vigorously that their or
ganization has had anything to do
with recent acts of hooded terror
ism in Alabama.
Because the Klan is incorporated
in Jefferson County, the Attorney
General sent copies of his recom
mendation to all members of the

WASHINGTON, June 28. — (AP) — The nation’s production
machine has throttflr‘?‘»*».down to its slickest pace in three years
and ne end to thg&@‘-\ @Jwn has yet been sighted.
The Federal }’@ Board reported a 10.8 percent fall in pro
duction from ) # "/.vmber’s peak to the end of May. The Board
said anothep’ hf percent drop is indicated for June.

The .. 'fi've Board’s report yesterday said output in May re
mained 74 percent above the average for prewar 1935-39, But it
was nearly three percent under April and more than nine percent
below May, 1948.
Meanwhile, there was no agreement over jusi how serious the
nation’s economic situation is. Secretary of Commerce Charles
Sawyer and a man who once held that cabinet post, Henry Wal
lace, disputed the point in a radio debate last night,
Sawyer insisted we are “still in an era of prosperity such as
we have not enjoyed in our history,” despite declining business
and increasing joblessness.

Carmichael, who was asked by
Gov. James E, Folsom to take legal
steps to outlaw the Klan, told the
legislators in his letter:
“I have given serious considera=
tion to the matter of revoking the
corporate charter of the Ku Klux
Klan. I am firmly convinced that
such action should be taken at
once. A thorough investigation
has convinced me that the most
feasible method of revoking the
Klan’s charter is by legislative act.
Citing the constitution as au

pleas for her conviction and ac

Federal Judge Albert L. Reeves

Congress Nearing Showdown
On Labor And Housing Bills
Race Issue May
*
Snag House Action
BY FRANCIS M. LE MAY
WASHINGTON, June 28. — (AP) —
The House raced today toward final ac
tion on a vast housing bill, with only one
snag apparent in the path of hard-driving
administration leaders.
While Speaker Rayburn (D.-Texas)
predicted passage of the measure by &
“gubstantial margin,” Rep. Spence (D.-
Ky.) leading administration forces on the
floor, saw signs of trouble ahead in the
announced plans of one lawmaker to raise
the race issue in the housing fight.
" Rep. Marcantonio (AL.-N.Y.)
said he was ready to present an
amendment barring segregation in
publicly-owned housing projects.
Spence, chairman of the House
Banking Committee, declared:
“If somebody wants to scuttle
the bill, that is the way to do.it.
It it gets into the bill it would
have the effect of beating it. A
friend of the bill would not offer
such an amendment. Let them
bring this issue up in separate leg
islation.”
Marcantonio’s amendment would
ban diserimination in the construc
tion, sale, rent or tenancy of pub
lic housing because of race, coior,
creed or national origin.
Apart from the race issue, the
housing measure apparently had
smooth sailing ahead in the house.
Administration , forces grabbed
complete control yesterday, smoth
ering a Republican-Southern Dem
ocrat coalition, and beat back all
efforts to substitute or amend the
administration bill.
GOP Split
The opposing Republicans were
badly split between a group want
ing a compromise bill and those
wanting no bill at all. And not
as many Southerners joined the
opposition as some had expected.
In rapid order, the House de
feated proposals by Reps. Davis
(D.-Ga.) and Coudert (R.-N.Y.) to
junk the bill’s big public housing
program, although leaving intact
its slum clearance provision. The
two substitute plans lost by votes
of 137 to 99 and 110 to 78.
Then the House defeated, 150 to
50, a substitute by 10 Republicans
that embraced most of the Truman
program, but proposed to add a
program of government loans for
private construction of 350,000
dwelling units.
These were major provisions of
the bill as it stood after yesterday's
debate:
1. The federal government
would contribute up to $308,000,~
000 a year for 40 years toward con
struction by local authorities of
810,600 publicly-owned dwelling
units. Federal contributions would
meet the difference between the
low rents and the amount neces
sary to pay off the long-range cost
of building and operation.
2. A $262,500,000 program
would provide housing loans for
farmers who could not get credit
elsewhere, with grants in some
cases for housing on farms that are
not self-sustaining.

Tops Senate Vote -

A closely divided Senate votes today on
the red hot issue of whether to keep Taft-

emergency strikes.
Beth sides put out victory claims in ad

camp generally expected a nip-and-tuck

Senate leaders said the crucial votes
probably would be cast by a few lawmak

was some real concern for
first time. A few in that group
were downright glum.
But not Senator Taft (R-Ohio),
quarterbacking the fight to pre
serve the injunction. He predicted
that in the end the court order
section would be retained by a
margin of seven or eight votes—
a bigger edge than most of those
working with him claimed.
Tedey’s test votes centered on
three amendments, and the Sen
aie agreed io meei an hour ear
lier than usual to get in some
extra debate.
The first ballot was slated on
an amendment by Senators Hol
land (D.-Fla.), Hoey (D.-N.C.),
Bricker (R.-Ohio) and Schoeppel
(R.-Kan,). It would keep the
Taft-Hartley provision which lets
the government get injunctions
against strikes which threaten
the national welfare,
The next vote was to cover an
amendment sponsored by Lucas.
It would modify a Taft proposal
providing for both injunctions
and for government seizure otl
struck plants for up to 60 days.
The Lucas plan would knock out
the injunction provision, but
keep the seizure section.
The final ballot on the national
emergency issue was to come on
the Taft amendment — either as
modified by the Lucas proposal,
if adopted, or in its original in
junction-plus-seizure form. if the
Lucas amendment was defeated.
