Fight for Presidency HighlightsCIOMeeting
Atlantic City, N.J. —U.P.P.) The 14th Annual CIO convention opened today on a plea for labor unity by Secretary of Labor Maurice J. Tobin as CIO chiefs fought a bitter behind-the-scenes battle over a new president.
Mr Tobin, in what he described as his "last major address" as a cabinet officer, called on the CIO to "put past bitterness, petty jealousies and personal animosities aside" and join with the rival AFL for a "strong, united labor movement."
Mr. Tobin's call to unity was made in the face of a raging battle among the 35 CIO unions as to who should succeed their late president Philip Murray—Walter Reuther, president of the powerful Auto Workers union or executive vice president Allan S. Haywood.
At the moment, it appeared that the Rubber Workers workers, led by L. S. Buckmaster, might carry the key to the whole situation. The union—unpledged to any candidate—was said to hold the balance of power in the bitter battle.
The fight threatened to carry through the week long convention in corridors and private rooms, and might well break out into the open on the convention floor when the 700 delegates are scheduled to vote for a new leader.
The CIO chiefs were in no mood to discuss unity as they battled neck and neck over the two candidates. Left leaderless by Mr. Murray's death a fortnight ago, they have since split into rival camps over the election issue.
Mr. Reuther's forces appeared to have a definite lead with support of a majority of the bigger CIO unions, as well as the 1,100,000 member steelworkers, the communication workers and transport workers.

He Dropped a Bundle on the election results," Oh-ho," said his side-kick, "listen . . ." Our Boy listened. Twenty minutes later he steamed into the Western Union office, his brain cells bulging with Strategy, and dispatched a vital message. To wi: "Dear Dad—Won broke backup Stevenson. Know you'll understand. Like father, like son. Please wire me fifty. Urges. Love."
The cash arrived within the hour. By West ern Union money order. Our Boy is now working for a Practical Cause—campaigning for presidential elections every year instead of every four.

Seoul, Korea—(U.P.)—Armored cars patrolled the streets and U.S. Marines, with fixed bayonets, guarded key headquarters in Seoul today in preparation for the visit of President-Elect Dwight D. Eisenhower.
U.S. Forces in Korea Bristle In Preparation for Ike's Visit
Jeeps intended to convey the President-elect's party were armed with machine guns and parked outside 8th Army headquarters. The Marines in battle-dress were stationed outside the headquarters, the 5th Air Force headquarters and the chosen hotel, where a Secret Service party already was said to be staying.
But the Koreans appeared less spirited than the days when welcoming rehearsals were carried out with parades and rallies. There were no such today.
Gaily decorated streetcars, taken off the tracks four days ago when Eisenhower failed to show as expected on Thanksgiving day, were back on the tracks today.
Arrival time of the general was top secret. There was no official word on when he would arrive, and no announcement was expected.
American soldiers and Marines checked the identity of all persons
entering U.S. military compounds. It was reported that some American personnel were refused permission to enter because their identification papers were not in order.
