Resented, Romspeek
Tells Body
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A proposal for an investigation Of
the National Labor Rela tions Board
by a special House Committee was
approved yesterday by the House
Rules Committee.
Despite strenuous protests from
members of the House Labor Com
mittee, which is now engaged in
conducting hearings on proposed
amendments to the Wagner Labor
Act, the Rules Committee reported
a resolution by Representative Smith,
Democrat, of Virginia to create a
special five-man committee to in
vestigate the board and recommend
new legislation.
Representative Cox, Democrat. OF
Georgia member of the Rules Com
mittee, had charged that the Labor
Committee, by conducting long hear
ings, was "filibustering" to prevent
any amendment of the Wagner Act
at this session.
Before the Rules Committees
vote, Representative Ramspeck,
Democrat, of Georgia, acting chair
man of the Labor Committee, told
the Rules Committee that both
Democrats and Republicans on his
committee resented" the Smith res
olution.
Personally, I have no objection
to an investigation of the National
Labor Relations Board" Represent
ative Ramspeck added. but as a
member of the Labor Committee I
Will object strenuously on the floor
to the taking away of the jurisdic-
ton over this matter from my COM
mittee."
Mr.. Ramspeck asked the Rules
Committee to delay acton until
Chairman Norton of the Labor Com
mittee recovers from an illness.
He said the Labor Committee had
been engaged in hearings since May
4 and that there had been no delay.
He added there were many more
witnesses to be heard and that ne
could not predict when the group
would be able to report legislation.
Representative Ramspeck was
asked whether Mrs. Norton has
said there would be nc amendments
this session and replied that he had
seen no such statements.
You're not delaying wilfully or
deliberately with your work." asked
Chairman SABBATH of the Rules Com
mittee.
No, sir" Representative Ram
speck replied. Il don't think anv
committee could have proceeded
more expeditiously."
Representative Welch of Califor-
MIA, ranking Republican on the
Labor Committee, said he considered
the Smith resolution "a reflection on
the integrity and sincerity of a hard
working committee OF Congress and
there's no precedent for it."
Representative Keller, Democrat,
OF Illinois. another Labor Committee
member, said the resolution was an
insult to every member" of that
committee.
