 Sulzberger,s statement:
 "The majority decision of the Board raises squarely the issue oi the closed shop in news and editor ial departments.
 Two members of the labor board held that the Times violated the Wagner Act in advising the News paper Guild in the course of nego- tiations that it would require an af- firmative open shop clause in any contract with that union. The NeV York Times has never in the pas opposed the Newspaper Guild al such. It has opposed this closed shop provision which is incorporated in the Guilds constitution.

of the other things Dr. Cartwright has found people think about the weather:
 When craWfish fail to throw ur their usual mounds, obServant folks know a wet summer is ahead.
 When ants heap dirt up around their burrows, big rains are pre- dicted.
 If fireflies fly high, if social was2s build their nests on shrubs near water, dry summer is to be feared.
 When rabbits nest in shallow fur. rowa pleasant weather will continue A flock of wild geese flying ovel early in the fall is hamburger o! early winter. If woodrats build high, if squirrel! put fin a heavy supply of nuts, if tht 'possum and skunk have heavy fur if quail are fat in the fall, a cold harih winter is prophesied.
 M bees don't go to work on pleasant day, if crows fly about carelessIy, and the cats fur stands straight up on his back, better be- ware. Stormy weather is ahead.

making. Objective presentation Jf news Is impossible where the pro- cesses of news gathering. editing and comment are turned over to any Hke-minded group, whether like-minded because of political faith or compulsory affiliation with one faction of the labor movement.
 'The New York Times is not op- posed either to unionism in general or the closed shop in particular. It has many closed shop contracts with a variety or unions, but these are in mechanical departments whose members are not concerned with the reporting or editing of the news.
 This fundamental issue of the closed shop in news and editorial de- partments will be taken to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, together with the other ad- verse portions of the labor boards decision.

Sen. Hiram Johnson, veteran California isolationist, sought the Republican, Democratic, and Pro- gressive senatorial nominations in his states primaries today. featur- ing primary elections in three states.
 In Mississippi, the political future of Sen. Theodore c. (the man) Bilbo was at stake. He sought Democratic renomination with For mer Gov. Hugh L. White opposing him.
 South Carolina Democrats were nominating candidates for six seats in the house and for state legis- latiye offices.
 In the three California senator ial contests there were eight can- didiates, all opposing Johnson for one of the other party designation. Gov. Culbert Olson was trying to prevent the renomination of n Democratic members of the state legislature who had opposed him, offering a slate of "77 true Demo- crats" against them.
 Johnson nominally is a Republi- can, though when he was reelected the last time. he had. in addition to the designation of his own party, that of the Democrats which Presi- dent Roosevelt helped him get. President Roosevelt said recently that he was not 6 true liberap' and this has been used against him by the three candidates, in- cluding Lieut.. Gov. Fills E. Patter- son. opposing him for the Demo- cratic nomination. He seemed eer- tain of getting ono if not two of the three nomination. He has been in the senate since 1917.
