By ELMER c. WALLER United Press Financial Editor


 New York, May 10-(UP)--Stocks declined today after three days of advance. Trading was active early, bu turned quiet on the decline. Losses ranged from fractions to more than a point.
 The decline was regarded as tech- nical. Ma1aet experts said the list had risen too rapidly and that cau- tion was warranted pending con- solidation of position.
 Meantime, sentiment improved in financial circles, largely because of disclosure of letter written by rep resentatives of leading utility com- panies to William o. Douglas, head of the securities and exchange com- mission, promising cooperation in working out application of the util- ity holding company act of 1885.
 Douglas conferred with c. E. Groesbeck, head of Electric Bond and Share company today. Groes- beck was one of the signers of the utility company letter promising cooperation.
 Utilities again were active, notably Electric Power & Light. However, the group eased on profit taking af- ter an early advance. Aviations were heavily traded. United Air craft equaled its high for the year. New highs were made by Curtiss- Wright A and Douglas.
 The group later turned down.

union, or the Brass Workers union, CIO affiliate, shall proceed as a col- lective bargaining agent.
 Originally. the company had ex- pected the election to be held Thurs day and proposed delay of the mat ter by the CIO organizers was re- buffed by the NLRB. The govern ment board, however, had not sent its representative here at noon today to make necessary arrangements for the election.
 Meanwhile, officials of the com- pany had word from the Detroit plant that 30 CIO "sitdown strikers" were evicted last night by two po- licemen. The strikers, members of the Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers Union, had caused close down of the powerhouse of the plant three weeks ago today, throwing TOO employees out of work.
 This was on the occasion of an announced 10 per cent cut which caused a slight furry of union ac- tivity in Waterbury at the same time.

that "the decision was made April 20," he charged.
 Hoffman cited American Fedora tion of Labor charges that NLRB favors the CIO. He asserted that Detroit labor newspaper carried re- ports of the Bradford, R. l.. mills case two weeks before the decision was announced
 Disclosed in Advance
 'sThe United Automobile Worker, CIO publication, would not have been able to print an acurate analy- sis of the (Douglas) decision giving many of it's terms, unless it had ill the NLRB organization some edu- cated person who assisted in the drafting of the opinion and disclose in advance of it's rendition the con- tents of that opinion" Hoffman charged.
 The Douglas strike, he asserted, was tantamount to action against the nation, because the plant was engaged in manufacturing aircraft for the government.
 Advance information of that de- cision was permitted to reach an affiliate of those engaged in the sit- down strike and enabled them to and new men to their membership, to increase their war chest and more successfully fight the government which created the NLRB," he said.
 A draft of his resolution for the investigation charged that the NLRB "has lost the confidence and respect of employe and employer and its activities are increasing un- employment and hampering recov- cry"
 Thirty One Charges
 It listed 3l other charges against the board, including:
 1. That 1t showed "favoritism" toward the c. I. o.
 2. That 1t Tent assistance to membership drives of the c. I. O."
 3. That the boards request for withdrawal of proceedings in the Ford, Republic Steel, Inland Steel and H. J. Heinz cases constituted aadmitting that it's proceedings in those cases at least have been un- fair and that it has denied the con- stitutional guarantee of due proc- ess ="
 {. That by withdrawal of its pro- ceedings, now subject to court ap- peals in those cases, the board Twill be enabled to avoid judicial pub lish exposure of its unlawful, biased and arbitrary actions"
 5. That the boards request to withdraw its Ford order tends di- rectly to suppress the truth and is refusal to answer under oath the inquiry as to whether the decisions are dictated or influenced by John l. Lewis. Chairman of the OIO),
