AS a compromise in the closely

ward in some quarters today to make
the controversial subject the first

This would assure President

also bans shipments of implements

By the Associated Press.
Senator Ellender, Democrat, of
Louisiana predicted today that the
National Labor Relations Board
soon may make additional changes
In its administrative rules to off,
set criticism of the board and the
Wagner Labor Act.
Senator Ellender, who has been
acting chairman of a Senate Labor
Subcommittee hearing testimony on
proposed amendments to the Wag-
ner Act, said he understood the
board would adopt new rules of
evidence for hearings before trial
examiners.
Senator Burke, Democrat, of Ne
braska, who has led the fight to
amend the labor law, said he also
had heard reports that the board
was contemplating some additional
changes. 1t already has announced
revision Of procedure to permit en-
ployers, in certain cases, to invoke
the boards services in juriSdictional
union disputes.
Burke Pushes Amendment.
Senator Burke said his group still
favored modifying the labor act. He
has proposed amendments which
would give employers access to the
boards services, prohibit coercion
of employees from any source and
make other fundamental altera-
tions in the law.
Another of Senator Burke's
amendments would direct the N. l..
r. B. toadopt rules of evidence fol-
lowed by Federal courts for the
boards preliminary hearings.
Senator Ellender said he was in
formed that the labor board was
studying the possibility OF giving
greater latitude of operation to in
dependent unions not affiliated with
A. F. L. or the c. L O., where these
unions deal with several employers.
Some witnesses before the commit
tee have charged the board with en-
tertalnlng unsupported complaints
that these unions were company
dominated.
Little Chance This Session.
Both Senators Burke and Ellen
der agreed there was little likelihood
that the Wagner Act would be
amended at this session.
Senator Burke pointed out that
there were 81 witnesses still to be
heard by the Senate committee,
which has been conducting hearings
for 13 weeks. '~7-
Representative Ramspeck, Demo-
crat, of Georgia, ranking member
of the House Labor Committee, said
that if Congress stayed in session
for four or five weeks longer, the
chances are good for enacting some
amendments.

that by that time It might be too
late to save all Of the 100000 from
the horrors Of aerial bombings.
The children, four TO 10 years old,

During the trial, Judge Inglis dis
charged three accused, Deputy Reg
istrar OF Voters Michael r. Slavin,
Attorney Ralph Coppeto and Will
lam B. Murray OF New York. Mo-
tions for the discharge OF the other

Following the sentences by Judge
Inglis, there arose a demand for
the removal OF Mayor Hayes, which
took the form OF a presentation OF
charges against him before the
board OF aldermen by Republican
Town Chairman J. Warren Upson.
At a meeting Monday, Aug. q, the
Democratic aldermen succeedde IN
delaying action until Aug. "a. A
public hearing was held the gath,
with the mayor absent.
Party Line Vote
The aldermanic vote on the ques-
ton OF removal was along strictly
party lines, the eight Republicans
In favor and the six Democrats
against. The necessary 10 votes, two
thirds OF the board membership,
was lacking and the mayor remained
In Office. A similar resolution for
removal OF Alderman Thomas p.
Kelly also failed. The aldermanic
chamber was damned TO capacity for
tie hearing, while several thousand
spectators milled around outside the
city hall.
Mr.. Epson then announced he
would take action In superior court
for the mayors removal. Custer Of
the mayor would almost automatic
ally mean the dismissal OF other city
officials found guilty by the jury.
Mr.. Epson announced plans for an
appeal 10 the superior court from
the aldermanic vote, and q petition
for an injunction preventing the
mayor from holding Office. He also
discussed the possibility OF institut-
