Carlson said he took off a few

the Mint Canyon area.
He said he was flying at $500
feet, ION top" Of a blanket of fog

missing plane at any time during

alarmed on reaching Las Vegas
when he discovered the Lockheed

and employer circles today.
The announcement of the court
was made in its decision uphold.
ing the National Labor Relations
Board in the Mackay radio case
in ordering reinstatement of men
active in an unsuccessful strike.
CITES OTHER GROUNDS
While the court upheld the
boards order for reinstatement
of five workers, it did so on the
ground that they were discrimi-
mated against because OF union
activity.
But, the court ruled, the COM
pany could have refused reinstate-
ment on other grounds and kept
within the Wagner labor act.
Reinstatement Of workers with
back pay is regarded by the labor
board and labor as q keystone of
the enforcement machinery of the
Wagner act. Close examination
of the decision was being made by
labor lawyers to determine wheth-
er the decision uncovers a loop.
hole in the law.
Sweeping orders for reinstate-
ment Of strikers, involving 1000 to
5000 workers, were issued by the
NLBR in the Remington Rand and
Republic Steel cases.
EXPLAINS PRINCIPLE
Declaring an employer, who has
not engaged in unfair labor prac-
tees, can fill places Of strikers,
the court added:
And he is not bound to dis
charge those hired to fill the
places of strikers, upon the cleo
ton of the latter to resume their
employment, in order 30 create
places for them"
Celebrating on this principle the
court said:
GAS we have said, the respond
ent (Mackay Radio was not
bound to displace men hired to
take the strikers places in order
to provide position for them.
"It might nave refused rein
statement on the grounds OF
skill or ability but the board
found that it did not do so.
METHODS OF REHIRING
SIT might have resorted to
any number of methods of de
terq1ining which Of its striking
employees would have to wait
because five men had taken
permanent positions during The
strike but it. Is found that the
preparation and use of the list,
and, the action taken by the
respondent, was with the pur-
pose to discriminate against
those most active IN the union"

NLRB Hit
As Bar to
Recovery

U.N.SJ Declaring the National
Labor Relations Board has
blocked recovery" Senator
Bridges (R) of New Hampshire
today said he will press for passage
Of his resolution calling upon the
President to furnish the Senate
with names and salaries of all
persons employed under the ma
t1onal labor relations act.
In view Of the fact that the
National Labor Relations Board
has blocked recovery in almost
every instance" Bridges said, IT
think that the Senate, and the
public, for that matter, are en-
titled to q bird'seye picture Of
the Setup."
OBJECTIVE WORTHY
1.-THE board was created with
a worthy objective, but it is ap.
parent that its personnel has
defeated its purpose. There Is
either something wrong with
the law or the way it is admin
iStered."
A spirited battle over the Bridges
resolution was presaged when Ma
jority Leader Barley, Of Ken
lucky, blocked immediate consid.
Grafton. Making no explanation,
he asked that it follow the usual
procedure Of remaining in the Sen
ate at least a day before debate
can be requested.
AS Bridges served notice he
would insist on consideration of
the resolution, Senator Burke CD
Of Nebraska, sponsor of q futile
effort to investigate the National
Labor Relations Board, continued
his one-man survey Of the boards
activities.
CITES BUSINESS VIEW
Burke said that letters from
the average businessman" in
reply to his QUESTIONABLE, indicate
that business is afraid to 20
ahead because Of the coercive rul-
ings Of the board, and the unfair
ness shown in some Of ttS de-
cisionS."
Senator Holt CD Of West Viz
ginia, charged that business is
afraid to go ahead because It
Knows the board favors the Go
and is prejudicial."

Dies Urges
i. S.-State
PdyPlGn

I.NS.) A drive to convert the
Norton wage.hours bill into joint
FederalState plan for regulation
of minimum wages and maximum
hours was opened today by Rep
resentative Dies CD of Texas.
Declaring the Democratic ma
tional platform calls for this
method, Dies made public a series
of amendments which will be OF
fered when the House begins con
alteration of the issue on next
Monday.
STATE TO EXEMPT
He proposed to give State labor
authorities power to grant exemp-
lions from the minimum wage and
maximum hours requirements, but
would prohibit any wage less than
rs cents an hour, or more than
"A hours a week. The Secretary OF
Labor would be given power 10
modify or reverse the State labor
authority, but only if the finding
were not sustained by facts. The
employer would have the right 10
appeal to the courts.
This is in line with the
Democratic national platform
which pledges joint action OF
the Federal Government and
States in behalf of minimum
wages and maximum hours,
said Dies. 1T still leaves enough
flexibility in the law to meet
constitutional requirements.
SUPPORT CLAIMED
81 have discussed the pro-
posal with many members OF
the House, who approve OF 1t.
This change would solve many
problems, lessen controversies
and would have a good effect
on the Senate, which also must
pass on the wage-hours issue.
Dies also proposed to strike
from the bill a provision which
permits Secretary Of Labor Per
kins to decide what industries arr
engaged in interstate commerce
and therefore subject to the act.

Delicately Balanced

The amount of energy the body

THE food are very delicately balanced
land regulated by the appetite.
sometimes this regulation fails and
food is stored in the body in the
form Of fat.
Measurement Of basal metabo-
|lism nowadays is carried on in a
much simpler manner than that in

measuring the amount spf oxygen
that is consumed by the body at
complete rest. The facts thus gath
Iered are very valuable in the dag

The unit of measurement Of the
energy value of foods is expressed
in the heat unit-the calorie. A
