With the ever mounting cla-
mcur throughout tie Country
lor anlenula-nt of the Wagner
act, the National Iaoor kela-
lions BOARD winch operates I'M
der tee act is being hard put
these days TO MAINTAIN its op-
position to such amendments.
Co-partner with the Congress OF
Industrial Organization in oppo-
sition to proposed amendments,
now being demanded by not on .
ly a large segment of organized
labor itself, but business and the
public as well, the N.L.R.B. is
.truggling to regain a position OF
good graces in the peoples eyes,
Washington observers re a d
With tongues in checks a recent
..eport OF the activities of the
.egional office of the N.L.R.B
comprising Ney York, New Jer-
ley and Connecticut-one of the
mast important sectors of the
5oard's work. The report covered
he period from 1885 through
asst year, and sought to tenn
per the public's attitude toward
he activities in that period.
In addition, opponents of am
endnlents of the Wagner Act
lave been sorely disappointed
that the outlaWing of Sitdown
strikes by the Supreme Court
lid not silence puOlic demands
for revisions in the Act. They
lad hoped that the decision
would put a qUietus on demands
or amendment but instead have
found the public's reaction to be
one of a continued demand for
permanent legislation revising
The act to eliminate its OneSid-
ldnesS and charges of bias
within the National Labor Re
latiOns Board.
Members of Congress are be-
ginning 10 tind THIS sentiment
effected in mail from the folks
back home, especially from q
large section of the farm pOpu-
latiCn. While farming was spec
!Ilca.i; exempted from the op-
eTationS OF the Wagner Act, nu-
.neTIuS administrative rulings
b; the National Labor Relations
Board have caused many en-
2ag~d in various farming activ-
ties to feel the pinch of the

The government printing Of
flee, usually carefully corrects
any. grammatical errors that
might slip into Congressional
debate. 1t let a bad one get by
recently when it printed a joint
resolution. A rather knotty
problem resulted. AS printed,
the resolution called for con-
struction of a $40, 600, 900, OOO
government aircraft manufact-
uring plant at a cost of on
ly $4,000, 900.
The 900, coo,Coo figure ap-
peared in the preamble but in
the body of the resolution the
government printing office left
off three of the "G's."

sIDELIGHT: Washington
probably has more private par
ties per week than any city Of
its size in the United States.
The reason is that almost the
entire adult population is on the

day is the same for everybody
g am. to 4:30 pm. Every
night thousands gather for par
ties in apartments and private
