AFL Votes Not to Ally With CIO Coalition
Paul Minn Oct 11 AP delegates at the AFL convention voted to avoid a formal alliance with CIO or labor and farm groups. A substitute proposal backed by top officers calls for separate AFL political action. The decision follows a shift away from inviting Lewis and United Mine Workers to rejoin. Local AFL and CIO groups may still cooperate on issues like defeating Taft in Ohio. The convention backed Truman era reform measures while proposing a hourly minimum wage adjustment.

Reds Choose Safe Foes for German Posts
In Berlin on October 11, the Communist regime assigned the East German Parliament presidency to Reinhold Lobedanz, a Democrat, and named Liberal Democrat Johannes Bleckswanny to preside over the People’s Chamber. Western observers view these moves as window dressing to project broad support for a Soviet-backed government. The Soviets plan to hand administrative power to local bodies via a new agency, with SED influence prominent.
