Attack Is Renewed
On Research Division
OF Labor Board
House Group Urges Ban;
Roosevelt Undecided
On Madden Post

With President Roosevelt still
undecided on the question of reap
pointing j. Warren Madden as
chairman of the National Labor
Relations Board, another effort was
on foot in Congress today to do
away with the boards research di-
vision headed by David Saposs,
whom several legislators have ac-
cused of radical tendencies.
Mr.. Madden's term expired at
midnight Monday, leaving the con-
duct of the boards affairs in the
hands of two members, Edwin S.
Smith and William Leiserson, who
frequently have been at odds. At
his press conference yesterday the
President said he had not decided
if he would reappoint Chairman
Madden, who, with Mr.. Smith, has
been a target of criticism on Cap
itol Hill
Attack by Subcommittee.
The renewed attack on the re-
search division was launched by the
Labor Subcommittee of the House
Appropriations Committee, which
went before the Deficiency Sub
committee to urge that specific
| language ordering the board to
eliminate the division be written
into a $150.000 appropriation re-
quested by the board for printing
and binding.
The Labor Subcommittee earlier
this year had eliminated funds for
| the division from the boards reg
ular appropriation and recommend
ed that Mr.. Saposs' division be abol-
ished. Since then, however, the
special committee investigating the
board brought out that although
the name of the division had been
changed slightly it still continued
to function.
The investigating committee re-
opened its hearings yesterday to af-
ford the board an opportunity to
file objections and rebut testimony
presented a few weeks ago by the
committee counsel, Edmund M. To-
land.
Charles Fahy, general counsel of
| the board. said the board had not
| been influenced by the recommended
tions of Harry R. Bridges, West
Coast C. I. o. leader, concerning
personnel.
Bridges Letter Presented.
Mr.. Toland had presented letter
Mr.. Bridges wrote to Mr. Smith urg-
| ing that Elwyn J. Eagen, the board S
| regional director at Seattle be sent
to Hawaii and that Bertram Edises.
board attorney at San Francisco, be
retained in that area. Mr.. Eagen
was not sent to Hawaii, Mr.. Fahy
said, and Mr.. Edises was transfer
red to Washington,
Mr.. Fahy also protested against
the contention in the majority re-
| port of the committee that 8 or 10
board attorneys had lobbied against
proposed amendments to the Wagner
Labor Act. He said their work had
been largely for the Senate Labor
Committee considering the amend
ments and should not be character
lied as lobbying.
Mr.. Toiand insisted, however, that
the attorneys furnished questions,
suggestions and other data to Sem
ators Ellender. Democrat, of Louisi-
ana, and Thomas, Democrat, of
Utah of the committee and travelled
about the country recruiting favor
able witnesses and trying to dis
courage others from testifying.
