Senator Burke, Democrat, of Ne
braska, a fruquent critic of the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board, praised
1t yesterday for recent enunciation
of new policy.
Senator Burke said he took "spe-
cial delight" in noting the decision
of the board 1enceforth to call for
secret elections to determine employe
representation rather than to accept
q count of union membership cards
and applications as indicative of the
majority representation for unions
in any plant.
THE effect of the new policy"
the Senator said in a statement,
will be to take the premium off of
violence and coercion in getting
union applications to be used as
evidence of membership"
He added, however, the policy
should be written into law so that
there will be no danger of back

~ the Associated Press.
MIAMI BEACH, Fla, July 15.-
Carl G. Fisher, IS, pioneer developer
Of Miami Beach and one of the orig
inal promoters of the Indianapolis
Speedway, died today Of gastric
hemorrhages.
Mr.. Fisher had been gravely i'll
since yesterday and had been in poor
health for months.
The pioneer died less than an
hour before the expected arrival by
plane of his wife, Mrs. Margaret
Fisher, from Montauk Point, Long
Island, also developed by Mr.. Fisher.
City Grew From Nothing.
Mr.. Fisher happened to come to
Miami on vacation in 1918, when
there was no Miami Beach-only a
tangle of mangroves and saWgrass in
Biscayne Bay. Largely as a result
of his vision, enterprise and finances,
1t grew from literally nothing to one
of the worlds foremost resorts, a
thriving city assessed for municipal
tax purposes at more than SCI, ,00O,-
600 Gn 1880.
In 1927 he developed Montauk
Point on the eastern tip of Long
Island, intending to make it north
ern parallel of Miami Beach. He
suffered reverses soon after starting
It,, but adjustments were made.
Mr.. Fisher was born in Green's
burg, Ind, January IL, 1874, and
left school at the age of u. He
worked as news butcher on a rail-
road. in bookshop and bank and
made his first success as a bicycle
manufacturer and dealer. He also
became prominent as racer.
Turned to Auto Field.
With the advent of the automo-
bile Mr.. Fisher turned to that field
and laid the foundation of his for
tune in 1904 by organizing the Prest-
O-Lite Co., which supplied gas
tanks for early automobile head
lights. He launched the business
with capital of $4,000, and it was
sold later for S8,0O0,0O0
Mr.. Fisher also became an auto
mobile race driver, holding the
worlds 2-mile record in 1904 with a
time of two minutes two seconds.
He organized the Indianapolis Motor
Speedway as an American proving
ground
Mr.. Fisher was married twice His
first wife was the former Jane
Welsh of Indianapolis. They were
divorced in Paris in 1926, and the
following year he married Miss
Margaret Eleanor Collier of Miami
Beach.

Freedom Of Press

But Sub-Stundurd
Few Criticized

By the Associated Press.
PALO ALTO. Calf, July 15.-
Freedom OF the press Is a "privi-
lege to be cherished and not a IL
cense to be exploited" Donald J.
Sterling, president of the Ameri-
can Society of Newspaper Editors,
said tonight.
Mr.. Sterling, managing editor of
the Portland (Oreg) journal, ap-
praised constructive criticism di-
rected against us" in a speech pre-
pared for delivery before a news
papermen's meeting at Stanford
University.
Newspapers have the right to be
judged in comparison with the av-
erage mill run of publications and
not with the few that may not meas
ure up," Mr.. Sterling told the mid
year editorial conference sponsored
by the California Newspaper Pub
fishers Association and the STAN
ford University division of journal
ism.
Freedom Not Property Asset.
The newspapers that fall below
par "persistently draw the fire of
Jealous critics who by the very ma
ture of their criticism confound
propaganda with news" the editor
said.
Unfortunately some people do
not think through the meaning of
freedom of the press. They prefer
to regard it as a self-assumed prop
erty asset of the publishers. This is
an error. All responsible news
paper men and women regard free
dom of the press as privilege to be
cherished and not as license to be
exploited"
