CIO, AFL Aim for Unification Negotiations
Los Angeles —(U,P)— CIO and AFL officials sought today to negotiate "as soon as possible" for unification of the two labor organizations.
Delegates to the 16th annual national convention of the CIO set the stage for merger discussions yesterday when they endorsed by a standing vote a proposal directing CIO officials to work toward an early meeting for possible unification.
William Teichgraeber, college freshman, as Naryskim, the chamberlain; Leland Dale Lowery, engineering freshman, as the sergeant; Sylvia Mahon and Carol St Mattsion, college freshmen, as ladies-in-waiting, and Kenneth Baker, college junior, and Kenneth Plumb, college sophomore, soldiers and courtiers.
The play is a comedy of British diplomacy and Imperial Russia. It tells of consequences when a young British captain does not succumb to the charms of Catherine the Great but stays true to his fiancée. Fatiomkin, the Empress' former lover, sets as chief aide to the captain.
Other members of the east are Charles Belt, college sophomore, as Prince Patiionkin; David Calkins, college freshman, as Edstaston, the English ambassador; Katherine Grahim, college junior; as Claire, his fiancee; Elizabeth Harrison, college freshman, as Princess Dashoff; Shirley Ward, college freshman, as Varinka, Patiionkin's niece.

Burzle at Fulbright Meeting
Dr. J. A. Burzle, professor of German, is attending a meeting of the national selection committee for Fulbright scholars for Germany in New York City. The committee is comprised of five professors of German in colleges throughout the United States.
"We direct the CIO members of the unity committee to continue the unity negotiations in the constructive spirit that has already been displayed."
Observers said the main reason for reminding the Soviets of something they already knew from their own United Nations delegations, as well as from the Western press was to convince Frenchmen who have been calling for another conference
So far there has not been a hint of the atmosphere or the length or the subject of the conversation. An official spokesman for the French embassy would not comment.
Moscow—(U.P.)-The new French approach to the Soviet Union calling attention to Premier Pierre Mendes-France's proposal for a Big Four conference after the Paris agreements are ratified is expected to fall on deaf ears, observers said today.
Soviet Turns Deaf Ears to Big Four Parley Proposal
Mr. Mendes-France made the proposal in a speech before the United Nations in New York. French Charge D'Affaires Jean LeRoy was reported to have reminded the Soviets of the original offer, but it was understood he was received by Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko and not Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov.
The united resolution was presented to the convention by the CIO members of the joint AFLCIO unity committee—CIO president Walter Reuther, president David J. McDonald of the United Steelworkers of America, and CIO secretary-treasurer James B. Carey. It stated:
with Russia that Mr. Medes-France is seeking one.
Reuther said he hoped to schedule a meeting of the CIO-AFL unity committee sometime after Christmas and before the first of the year.
Not a word of the Mendes-France proposal has appeared in the Soviet press and it was questionable whether it would even publish the fact that the new French approach has been made.
But since this was seen as a move to aid the ratification of the Paris pacts, it seemed hardly conceivable that the Soviets would discuss at the present time the possibility of a Big four conference following ratification.
