Despite th e bitter battle be
tween the opposing Reuther and
Haywood • forces,. bo t h sides

Reuther became the third pres
ident in the ClO's 17-year history.

president of the independent Uni

ond was Murray.
The CIO. 'which was formed in
1935 when it splintered off from
the AFL to organize some of the
mass production industries, also

South Korea
Turns Down
Indian Man
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., Dec. 4
(?P)—South Korea turned down
today an Indian• compromise pro
posal for ending the Korean War
as the president of the UN As
sembly wrote an appeal to the
Communists to accept it.
Y. T. Pyun, foreign minister of
the UN sponsored Republic of
Korea, announced here that his
government could not accept the
Indian resolution, approved yes
terday by 54 of the 60 UN mem
bers, because "it is against , the
spirit of the Constitution of the
Republic of Korea."
Pyun objected to the heart of
the plan, which is a provision for
sending thousands of North Ko
rean war prisoners to a demilitar
ized zone from which they would
be repatriated by a UN commis
sion. Pyun said his government
regarded the prisoners as liber
ated Koreans. Those who desired
to remain , in the South should be
liberated now. he added. The
others are Communists, he said,
but they still are Koreans and
are not alien prisoners of war.
He said it would reflect on Ko
rea's sovereignty to send them to
the demilitarized zone, even tern
porarily.

chairman, is a 35 year old eco
