SENATOR'S, NLRb
CLASH

WASHINGTON - Chairman J.
Warren Madden. of national labor
relations board, told the senate
labor committee he believed 1t
might be a violation of the Wag-
ner act for an employer to call a
union leader a Communist.
Under questioning by Sens Rush
D. Holt, D., w. Va; James ]. Da-
Wis, r., Pa, and Allen J. Ellender,
d, La, Madden said he believed
such designation would be vio-
lation under certain circum-
stances" even if true. He opined
an employers only purpose in de-
scribing a union leader as Com
munist would be to hamper the
growth of the leaders union.
Madden testified on proposed
amendments to the National Labor
Relations act, celebrating his pre-
vious testimony in which he de-
Tended operation of the law.
Ellender asked Madden
"why an employer should be
punished for saying something
that is true ." Madden replied
that courts often restrained
unions from advertising that
an employer was unfair to
organized labor" even II that
statement were true.
He said it would be the gross
est sort of discrimination" to give
employers free rein. but to deny
this right TO workers"
Sen. Robert A. Taft. r.. o.,
charged the boards policy meant
permitting an employer to say
anything against American Fed
Grafton of Labor, but nothing
against Congress of Industrial Or
CARNATIONS" Madden denied the
assertion.
Madden told the committee he
believed a nationwide pool of en-
ployers would disclose a strong
preference" for the AFL over the
CLIO.
Madden clashed with Sen.
Rufus c. Holman, r., Ore,
over whether NLRB had over
ruled q federal district court
in the NJ. and NJ. Woodwork
ing Co. case at Portland, Ore.
Holman charged the board with
responsibility for reign of ter
ror" on the west coast, and read
from several kilograms from Ore
gon industrialists urging repeal of
the law.
The NLRB chairman said the
AFL-CIO fight. bringing up the
question of the status Of unexpired
contracts. was involved in the M.
and NJ. case. The circuit court of
appeals reversed the board de-
cision.

New York, Sept. 6-(UP)-First hint of what may have happened to the ghost ship of the European war the German luxury liner Bremen came today when United States coast guardsmen revealed that two of the life buoys of the $20,o0o, 900 vessel had been washed ashore by Massachusetts surf.
 The finding of the buoys admitted only a thin stream Of lights into the dark mystery that has surrounded the Bremen, pride of the German merchant marine, since she slipped out of her berth at 6:45 p. m. (EDT) Aug. 30.
 She carried neither cargo nor passengers. She had undergone one of the most severe examinations that United States authorities ever gave to a foreign vessel in this port Her hold had been searched for con- cealed arms. Every inch of her cabin space had been inspected closely.
 The United States government feared, apparently, that the fast l!n- CT might be turned into a privateei to raid British and French shipping In event of war.

 Still EnshrOuds Vessel

 She was sailing directly into the British cruiser Berwick whicl, steamed southward from Newport R. T., on Aug. %. In addition, there were persistent reports that two British destroyers were lurking of Sandy Hook ready to intercept Ger. man shipping as soon as war was de- clared.
