Congress Orders Shipping Inquiry
WASHINGTON, June 6. — (IIP) —Congress ordered an investigation of the maritime labor crisis today as a demonstration strike of 62.000 AFL seamen tied up America's biggest ports and gave the nation a bitter foretaste of the major walkout threatened by 200.000 other merchant mariners for June 15.
The congressional move came as AFL maritime workers sounded an angry threat to call a full-fledged strike of their own if the government and the ship owners persist in giving priority to the wage-hours demands of the CIO unions.
Infuriated AFT, seamen in New York walked off their ships to attend demonstration meetings and began clamoring for action to convert their show of force into a genuine strike.
Similar demands were voiced by other AFL sailors—members of the Seafarers International Union and the Sailors Union of the Pacific— who held simultaneous stop - work meetings in San Francisco. Las Angeles, Seattle, Boston, Baltimore, Philadelphia and other seaports.

now required to give courses in both American history and American institutions, according to Russell L. Caldwell, lec-
j turer in history, who is to be chairman of the new course.
Given at the sophomore level,
54ab will replace general studies ! 52, political science 55, and history [ 77. These three courses will be J dropped from the curriculum beginning next fall, Mr. Caldwell said.
He also pointed out that students who have already taken political science 55 or history 77 will not have to take 54b, but will be required to take 54a.
It was stressed by Mr. Caldwell j Senate refused to give to Edwin W. that the new course will offer a I Pauley, will go to Assistant Secretary
Treasury Secretary Fred M. Vinson | as 13th Chief Justice of the United 1 States and profferred the treasury post to his life-long friend and fellow Missourian, John W. Snyder.
The President dropped word of his surprise nominations almost casually at the start of a White House press conference and followed up with two more announcements of only slightly lesser import:
1—That	the Office of War Mobilization and Reconversion headed by Snyder has been given the “kiss of death” and will be allowed to slide gradually out of business.
2—That	the coveted post of Under secretary of the Navy, which the
history of our country taught not only from a political basis but also : from a constitutional, cultural, so-I cial, and institutional basis.
COMPREHENSIVE
“In effect, 54ab is a study of United States history from the viewpoint of the history of a whole J people, not merely from the stand-1 point of political development,” Mr.
I Caldwell stated.
“The new course will be listed i under general studies because the average student is not a history major but is taking the course because it is required by state law, and also becsuse the course will fit into an educational background which will be of value later,” Mr.
Caldwell added.
3000 EXPECTED
About 3000 students are expected i the Supreme Court for the new chief to take the course, and during next : justice was believed to have been fall and spring semesters 54a and dictated by his anxiety to restore
Johr. L. Sullivan—if the Senate approves.
Truman’s choice of Vinson to succeed Harlan Fiske Stone, who died last April, seemed certain to be a popular one and the first reaction from the capitol indicated that Vinson’s host of friends in the Senate would confirm him without delay.
The 56-year-old Kentuckian has performed brilliantly in a dozen top government jobs since the late President Roosevelt drafted him from Congress in 1938 to assume a federal judgeship.
He served as judge, economic stabilizer, war mobilizer and RFC chairman before Mr. Truman named him Secretary of the Treasury on July 23, 1945.

LONDON, June 6—<U.R>—Radio Moscow announced tonight that Russia and Argentina have resumed diplomatic relations, broken since the Bolshevik revolution of 1917.
“As the result of negotiations In Buenos Aires it was decided to establish diplomatic, consular, and trade relations between both countries from today on ,” Moscow radio said in a broadcast recorded here.
The Russian-Argentina action was expected. A United Press Moscow dispatch said earlier today that the government newspaper organ Izvestia forecast the resumption of relations.
(A United Press Buenos Aires dispatch said Wednesday that Carlos Desmaras, a friend of President Juan D. Peron, probably would be named ambassador to Moscow. A Russian trade mission which arrived In Buenos Aires early in April had been granted several semi-diplomatic privileges including an invitation to Peron’s inauguration.)
The text of a communique broadcast by Moscow on the resumption said:
“The government of the Soviet Union and the government of the Argentine republic, Inspired by high principles of international cooperation and understanding, declare that they have taken a decision to establish from this day diplomatic, consular and trade.

MAIN OBSTACLE
Warren’s main obstacle for the presidential candidacy will be Dewey, for any party has to control
