US. Court

New Orleans, La, March 49,
(AP)-The United States fifth cir
cult court of appeals today upheld
the cOnstitutionalfty of the nation
al labor relations act.
In doing so the circuit court voided
a judgment of the Western Texas
court which held the act violated Ar
ticle I. Section I, of the Federal Con-
stitution.
The case was brought here by Ed
win Elliott, regional director OF the
National Labor Relations Board.
Elliott commended the Ell Paso Elec-
trio Company, which obtains power
from a New Mexico plant, committed
unfair labor practices affecting inter-
state commerce.
The circuit court held the lower
court erred in that the act had not
been shown to be unconstitutional
beyond every reasonable doubt"

MOSCOW, April 22.-Suave, chiv-

paved the way for many vital diplo-
matte contacts, had not been seen
since Saturday night, when he at
evening dress which he, unlike most
Russians, always wore.
steiger ostensibly was secretary to
the Art Committee of the Commits
sarlat Of Education, post without
diplomatic connection, yet no one
knew his real job
Many diplomats believed their use
full friend really to be an undercover
agent for the secret police and feared
he had been arrested in the reorgan-
ization of the G. P. U. after the up
heaval caused by the arrest of his
former chief, Genrikh Yagoda.
He failed to appear this week at
two diplomatic luncheons, to which
he already had sent acceptances, a
thing Steiger never has been known
to do before
1nquirers at his hotel were told he
was out of Moscow, but the belief
persisted his long and intimate knowl-
edge Of many closely veiled secrets
had caused his arrest.
