Both Green and Secretary of Labor Maurice Tobin are scheduled to address the AFL building trades union meeting here tomorrow. Some 700 delegates representing 8,000,000 workers, the AFL's highest membership in history, are expected here for the convention. Some union leaders predicted yesterday that John L. Lewis may ask to return his 500,000 United Mine Workers to the AFL fold—from which he bolted four years ago to go independent. They based the prediction on Lewis' recent plea for labor unions in this country to "pool and solidify their mass strength." Several delegates said Lewis and the UMW probably would be accepted if they ask reentry into the AFL. Two of the AFL's top leaders arrived here yesterday. They were Daniel J. Tobin, general president of the teamsters' union, and Dave Beck, Seattle, the teamsters' west coast chieftain. Motorists Face Gas Problem ATLANTIC CITY, N.

Republican Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York had an appointment (11 a.m. EST) to tell the president his observations on a recent trip to Korea and the Far East. Mr. Truman had on opportunity, if he chose to take it, to tell reporters promptly how he and the New York governor hit it off. His weekly news conference was scheduled four hours later (3 p.m. EST). Herbert Hoover, a Republican and the only living ex-president, has been a frequent White House caller, but this was Dewey's first visit there with Mr. Truman. The visit recalled Mr. Truman's stumping tour in 1948 in which he once termed Dewey his "little shadow" and Dewey's retort that the president was indulging in "coast-to-coast mud salting." Shortly after Dewey left for the Far East, the president let it be known at a news conference that Dewey would be invited to report to him on his observations. And Dewey readily indicated his willingness to do so. Today's engagement was set up hast Monday. Dewey brushed aside any suggestion that he might be offered a place in the president's cabinet upon his arrival here last night. In reply to questions as to whether he might be offered the secretarship of state the governor said: "Nothing like that has happened and nothing like that is likely to happen. The president himself has repeatedly insisted he is going to keep Dean Acheson as his secretary of state. The president and Dewey have gotten on well together on previous personal encounters.

J.—The nation's motorists are faced with the prospect of unsatisfactory gasoline, a petroleum defense official predicted last night. C. E. Davis, director of refining of the petroleum administration for defense, issued the warning in an address to the National Petroleum association. He said that unless the refining industry is allocated more primary lead and lead scrap, tetraethyl lead needed for the antiknock quality of gasoline would be drastically curtailed. Allocation plans of the National Production authority will cut the amount of lead available for motor fuel to 47 per cent of the August level. Davis added. “This would result in a three-octane number reduction on an average basis across the board,” he said. “Such drastic reduction would mean severe hardship to all refiners and marketeers and also would result in very unsatisfactory performance in a large segment of the automotive fleet of the nation.” CONQUER YOUR CONSTIPATION A remarkable medical discovery is offered in McCoy's Norm Tabs You can quickly conquer your constipation and restore regularity.

Ominous Balkan Situation Surveyed (Editor's Note: Crops are being harvested in the Balkans and there's an old Balkan saying that wars begin when the crops are in. What that means to Yugoslavia is surveyed in the following dispatch, based upon official Yugoslav figures, talks with government officials and interviews with refugees.) BY ALEX SINGLETON BELGRADE, Yugoslavia — Premier Marshal Tito is harvesting a new crop of worries this fall in the form of sharply increased border hostility—frontier shootings and spy activities by his pro-Russian neighbors. In the past seven months there have been 837 border incidents along Yugoslavia's frontiers with Albania, Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary. This is nearly one-third of the total for the entire period since Tito's break with the Cominform in June, 1948. The increased tempo of the Cominform's border pressure—particularly in the last 10 days—has raised the question: Do Russia and her puppet states mean business this time? Are the new incidents a prelude to invasion? No one knows the answer for certain except the Kremlin, and it isn't talking. Yugoslavia and the Cominform countries appeared only a short step from actual war as they gathered in late fall crops—bringing to mind the old Balkan adage that "wars begin when crops are in." Trade between Yugoslavia and her eastern neighbors ended completely more than a year and a half ago. Diplomatic staffs—both those maintained by the Comm. on countries here and those representing Yugoslavia in the Cominform capitals—have been reduced to skeleton size. They are under constant surveillance by the security police in each country. Their chief function now is to gather what information they can about the political, economic and military affairs in the country. The source of information is limited largely to what they can read in newspapers. All along Yugoslavia's twisting eastern and southern frontiers, both sides have posted countless thousands of border guards. In the danger spots, such as the major travel routes across the frontiers, barbed wire entanglements, pillboxes, recently dug trenches and outlook towers emphasize the border tension. Behind border outposts are concentrated heavy units of seasoned troops. On the Yugoslav side they probably are most numerous on the Bulgarian border, since military men long have regarded that as the chief danger spot. Refugees from Iron Curtain countries tell of widespread preparations which have the earmarks of preparations for attack—or at least of measures to furnish that impression. These reports range from the wholesale evacuation of civilians from an area 20 miles deep in Bulgaria and Romania to widespread activity by Russians directing military training and the construction of military establishments, such as a new air base near Sofia. propaganda says just that Yet hardly a day goes out a new report in Yugoslav official press of additional news making good headway from Russian dominance names and addresses and the refugees as saying hunger and persecution homelands. Hardly a week passes a new spy trial. The agent generally charged with sifting information about the strife disposition of Yugoslavia economic situation and to aid from the west. They have become so palace here that they attend attention. The Yugoslav have been living so long gun now that they had adopted the attitude of the inevitable or the rôle folk in the table of the chiepheder who cried often. That isn't the case where slav officials charged wielding the country's defense recent weeks they have no character of border has changed from clashed individual border guards ing expeditions by strong Cominform soldiers. The outcome may weaken on these three factors: 1. The Kremlin's decision whether an invasion of Yugoslav would touch off World War II. 2. How soon and how militarily aid Yugoslavia from the west. 3. The chance that the finger of a border guard will propaganda says just that. Douglas LB Plant Strike Continues LONG BEACH (UP) — Douglas Aircraft Company's big plant, which makes transport planes for the Air Force, was still strike-und today. Members of the United Aircraft Welders union (Ind.), which stuck yesterday, and 10,000 CIO-lited Auto Workers, who struck Sept. 5, were reportedly no closer than agreement with the company their separate disputes over wages and working conditions. The welders were out, too, at Douglas plants in El Segundo and Santa Monica but their strike has not stopped production those factories. Quite a Distance SANTA MONICA (UP)—Long distance swimmer Ray Sutter, 37-year-old Purple Heart army veteran from Fort Worth, Tex., today said he was set to try to swim the 45-mile route from Santa Catalina island to Santa Monica Saturday. The Catalina-Santa Monica swim has been attempted only once. Several years ago Paul Bottteau made an unsuccessful attempt. Slated Oct. 16 School Board PLAGENTIA (UP)—Directors of Orange county municipal wa-district have set Oct. 16 as the date for an election to ratify proposed contract to obtain Colo-dow river water from the Metropolitan Water System. Yugoslavia and the Cominform countries appeared only a short step from actual war as they gathered in late fall crops—bringing to mind the old Balkan adage that "wars begin when crops are in." Trade between Yugoslavia and her eastern neighbors ended completely more than a year and a half ago. Diplomatic relations have been reduced to exchanges of insults, accusations and formal notes protesting various incidents. These notes usually are rejected, denied or calmly ignored. These reports range from the wholesale evacuation of civilians from an area 20 miles deep in Bulgaria and Romania to widespread activity by Russians directing military training and the construction of military establishments, such as a new air base near Sofia. Despite controls, a two-way traffic of refugees and spies flows across the border. Yugoslavia naturally asserts a top-heavy percentage of that traffic has been coming in her direction. Cominform countries ten of widespread preparations which have the earmarks of preparations for attack—or at least of measures to furnish that impression. These reports may weaken expeditions by strong Cominform soldiers. The outcome may weaken on these three factors: 1. The Kremlin's decision whether an invasion of Yugoslavia would touch off World War II. 2. How soon and how military aid Yugoslavia will receive from the west. 3. The chance that the finger of a border guard might all along the border. Most foreign observers agree that the danger posed by this year may come between the end of next month. "My towels dry in minutes" says MRS. H. CLAIRE WILLS Santa Barbara, California "Because we live at the beach, and do lots of swimming, I always used to have a line full of wet towels. Now, with my automatic gas clothes dryer, I can wash towels, then dry them in a few minutes. That means less work, and our place looks so much neater." YOUR HOME LAUNDRY ISN'T COMPLETE WITHOUT GAS Surveyed propaganda says just the contrary. Yet hardly a day goes by without a new report in Yugoslavia's official press of additional refugees making good their escape from Russian dominated, citing names and addresses and quoting the refugees as saying they fled hunger and persecution in their homelands. Hardly a week passes without a new spy trial. The accused are generally charged with seeking information about the strength and disposition of Yugoslavia's troops, economic situation and the extent of aid from the west. They have become so commonplace here that they attract little attention. The Yugoalav people have been living so long under the gun now that they have either adopted the attitude of accepting the inevitable or the role of townfolk in the table of the young shepherd who cried wolf too often. That isn't the case with Yugoslav officials charged with maintaining the country's defenses. In recent weeks they have noted that the character of border incidents has changed from clashes between individual border guards to scouting expeditions by strong parties of Cominform soldiers. The outcome may well depend on these three factors: 1. The Kremlin's decision on whether an invasion of Yugoslavia would touch off World War III. 2. How soon and how much military aid Yugoslavia can get from the west. 3.
