The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-05-08

The shaggy-browed CIO boss has a file of letters, notes and memoranda that he is going to place before the Senate Labor Committee. How he got the sen- Sational documents is a closely guarded secret, but he has them, and is going to make them pub lie.
 One of the bombshells in Lewis possession is 8 letter from Gilbert H. Montague, prominent Wall Street lawyer, to Colby M. Ches- ter, head of General Foods and former chairman of the Manu- lecturers Association. This letter discloses confidential dealings with Joseph Padway, AFL general coun- sel, and contains wording identi- cal with parts of the AFL amend ments. The letter reads as fol- lows:
 DEAR MIR. COLBY: When can
 confer with you regarding
 the following confidential
 matter:
 During July, August and Sep
 tembed I supplied confident
 ially to Judge Padway various
 legal memos and data he re-
 quested regarding certain Na-
 tional Labor Relations Act
 questions, and during the
 AFL convention in Houston
 this month I responded to his
 hurry calls for additional
 legal memos and data.
 "Judge Padway has now asked
 me confidentially to prepart
 for him draft amendments
 of the Act covering the fol-
 lowing points, on which he
 has now received instructions
 from the REL Executive
 Council:
 "FIRST: Jurisdiction shall be
 granted appellate courts to
 review the facts as well as
 the law to determine whether
 the decisions conform to the
 weight and credibility of the
 evidence.
 "'SECOND: Separate the ad-
 ministrative functions from
 the judicial functions of the
 Board, lodging the judicial
 functions in a tribunal wholly
 independent from the Nation
 al Labor Relations Board.' "I will thank you if on receipt
 of this you will write or tele-
 phone my office when can
 confer with you regarding the
 above.

 GILBERT H. MONTAGUE" NOTE-Mr. Montague, an ex- pert an antitrust laws, has been associated with both the National Association of Manufacturers and the powerful U. S. Chamber of Commerce in drafting legislation proposed by them. JAPANESE CURIOSITY
 About 48 hours after Dr. Syng- man Rhee, the first president of the Korean Republic, established offices of the Korean Nationalist Mission in Washington, he had a very polite and smiling caller.
 "I am MT. Hetfield, Dr. Rhee," announced the middle-aged visitor, ''Mr. Hetfield, of the Japanese Embassy
 "Yes," replied Dr. Rhee, who, when he led the famous passive revolution against Japanese 0c- cupation of Korea, had a Jap anese price of $l00,000 on his head, what can I do for you?" we would like to know what your work will be here," was the unabashed reply.
 ''My work remains the same as 1t has been for 30 years," said Dr. Rhee. "The object of my fife is to hurt Japan and regain for my 23,000.000 fellow countrymcn, whom Japan once enslaved, their liberty and in- dependence"
 So MT. Hetfield thanked Dr. Rhee and bowed himself out of the office.
 N0TE-Korea was completely conquered by the Japanese in 1910, but thousands of Koreans. bitter against the conqueror. look to Dr. Rhee as president even though he resides in the United States in exile.
