ox Demands Probe
Into Activities Of
Labor Relations Board
Moludmi6istrotion Is
Charged to Members
And Employees
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
Representative Cox, Democrat, OF
Georgia demanded yesterday an in
vestigation of the National Labor
Relations Board. charging its func-
tons had been 'maladministered by
its members and their employees"
He told the House the inquiry
should be made by the Labor Com
mittee or q special committee.
Representative Cox said he had no
personal means Of knowing the
justification for charges against the
N. L. r. B., and declared the time
had come for a thorough investiga-
ton. This also would disclose, he
said whether the act itself needed
amending.
The Georgian was the author Of
the resolution by which the House
last week ordered an. investigation
of the Works Progress AdminiStra-
ton.
Objections Held Unrealized.
ut is my opinion" he said re-
ferring to the Labor Board, that the
detectives have not been realized,
and that the functions of the board
have been maladministered by its
members and their employees.
However, this is simply my own
impression, and it would appear to
me that fair and impartial in
vestigation by committee of the
House Of Representatives, with its
facilities for investigation. could very
easily ascertain whether the charges
= have any basis or are justified"
As for the act itself, Representa-
tive Cox said it admittedly provided
no opportunity for the employer to
make complaint of unfair practices
in connection with union activities.
He said N. L. R. B. employees had
been charged, among other things.
with fostering C. l. O. organiza ton,
advocating strikes, aiding in creating
situations adverse to employers. I'M
fairness in hearings and political
activities.
Witnesses Held Badgered.
Mr.. Cox said some cases indicated
rather fragrant conduct on the part
of trial examiners and board attor-
neys in the badgering of witnesses
and in the effort to prevent attor-
neys for respondents from making
proper records"
He named the Weirton Steel Co.
case, the Ford Motor Co. case. the
Electric Boat case and the Fansteel
case.

Works Board Levys Sewer Assessments
 On Eight Streets
Little Opposition Registered at Public Meeting Last Evening-COsts to Be Paid in Two Installments;
 Protest Filed on Dangerous Tree

On motion of Commissioner Jo- beph H. Lawlor at @ meeting last evening of the board of works an investigation will be conducted con- cerning published reports that equipment owned by the city of Wa terbury had been abandoned at Bantam and was Trusting away" Photographs were also printed show ing the alleged equipment with an article claiming that the taxpayers of the city were being assessed for the rental of apparatus that had to replace the abandoned machinery. Apparently the equipment was for merly part of the general setup at Shepaug, where the city spent mil- lions of dollars to protect its future supply of water.
 The inquiry concerning the al- legged abandonment will be made by members of the water committee and a report with "all details" filed ct the next meeting of the board.
 Levying of sewer assessments against owners of property on eight Waterbury streets was voted by the board of public works af,, r public hearings last night at the city hall. Little opposition was voiced as most of the property owners contented themselves with asking questions about the extent of their frontage and the amount of their assess ments.
 The sewers in each case have al- ready been laid, and the board would have voted the assessments almost automatically even if strong pro- tests had been raised by owners of the property affected.
 In Two Parts
 The assessments are payable in two parts. The first is due 150 days after receipt of the city bill, and

DECISION GIVEN
 IN ACTORS UNION |
American Federation Says Expelled Union Must Be
 Taken Back

New York, Aug. 16- UP) The Theatrical Union quarrel reaches 8 climax today when the Associated Actors and Artists of America, par ent union for all entertainers, de- cides whether to accept the recom- mendations of the Executive Coun- ell of the American Federation of Labor to reinstate the night Club Vaudeville-Circus branch it had ex- pelled.
 The AFL Council reached its de- cision at Atlantic City, N. J., last night on the dispute that was threatened to develop into a strike that might close every show in the country.
 Today the matter goes back to the International Board of the AAAA. Although the AFL decision was giv- represented the judgment of the heads of the Federation, and Will lam Green, AFL president, said it meant that the suspension impos- ed by the AAAA was lifted. Doubt About Action But Kenneth Thompson, executive ] secretary of the Screen Actors Guild, one of the largest of the Il unions that comprise the AAAA, said i've may accept or reject the recom- mendations." He said he disagreed with some of them.
 It appeared that the trouble was far from settled, although the chances of a strike were lessened when the AFL Council ruled that the Stagehands' Union, which char tered the expelled Actors branch, must revoke the charter and turn the branch back to the AAAA. The Screen Actors Guild had sent a de- legation to Atlantic City from Holly wood by airplane last week to warn the AFL that if the Stagehands were permitted to enlist actors in their union, especially actors ex- pelled by the AAAA, then the Guild might promote a strike that would close every theater in the country. Expelled Union
 The expelled union, root of the trouble, is the American Federation of Actors, numbering thousands of song, dance and stunt performers, clowns and freakr. Its officers were charged by the AAAA with mis- management and misuse of funds, specifically using money from char ity performances to buy an auto mobile for Ralph Whitehead, execu- tive secretary. Sophie Tucker is president of AFA; Harry Richmond, vice-presdient.
 The AFL recommendation were: That the Stagehands' Union, the International Alliance of Thea trical Stage Employees, give up the AFA; that the AAAA be recognized as autonomous in the entertainment field; that the AFA be reinstated to the AAAA and continue with its present officers including White head, for 90 days pending an elec- ton in which all the disputants could vote, but that the officers have no power until the election and a 10-man AFL committee supervise the AFA until then.
 Thompson said that since the AFT, recognized the AAAA's autonomy, "the Executive Council cannot i'm pose orders on the AAAAA. He dis puted Greens opinion that the sls- pension of Whitehead and the AFA was lifted automatically and said, 'it is up to us whether we take them back"
 "On one point we will stand firm," he said, i've will not submit to any election in which Whitehead can run. Whitehead can have no official connection with any affiliate or ours."

the second 150 days after that date.
 The sewer assessments will be levied against the following streets:

 Acceptance of Lydia and Marl- boro streets by the city was asked by residents of the two streets. Sew CTS and water mains on the streets are also sought.
 Property owners on Brentwood avenue, who asked that the water main there be extended 800 feet, were told the city would have done this as WPA project if they paid for the cost of the necessary pipe. Resi- dents of Hauser street were ad- vised similarly.
 Protests Tree
 A complaint by Commissioner Charles Dreher against a tree on Pierpont street, which he said is liable to fall, was referred to the park department. Requests for im- provements were made by residents of Carver, Beverly and Hewey streets.

WHY the Football
Injury Toll Is High

ing are reported following minor
injuries, mere abrasions of the
skin. These are neglected by coach,
player and his family. 1t is the
business of the coach to see that
such cases are uncovered, not wait
for them to be brought to him. One
minutes inspection of hands, feet
and skin would be sufficient to spot
any abrasions or cuts.
Proper Examination
Another cause is insufficient ply
steal examination before the candi-
date is allowed to play. The ques-
ton of injury to the heart from
athletics is well summarized from
an enormous experience by DR.. K.
TAFT Mackenzie, who says that it is
seldom following severe athletic
competition that one finds any in
jury to the heart, after a weeks
time, if the heart was originally
sound. The last phrase puts the
problem squarely up to the medical
examiner of any team.
Coaches anxious to turn out
winning team allow star players to
continue in the game when they are
injured or exhausted, and thus
minor injury turns into a serious
one.
Parents of high school football
players should make sure that an
adequate physical examination Is
given at their school, and that the
coach regards the game as an ath-
letic contest and not money-mak-
ing enterprise.
