Senator Radcliffe
Rejects Labor Plea
On Radio Spy Bill
To Request Speedy Action
On Measure to Curb
Espionage on Ships

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Radcliffe, Democrat, Of
Maryland, said today he would ask
for speedy action on the Navy De-
partments request for legislation TO
protect American merchant ships
from possible subversive activities by
radio operators.
At the same time, Rear Admiral
S. C. Cooper, spokesman for the
Navy Department, rejected a sug-
gestion from Joseph P. Selly, Presi-
dent of the c. I. o. American Com
munications Association, for sub
stitute anti-espionage plan TO curb
possible spying by ships radio men.
Mr.. Selly and other labor spokes
men at Senate subcommittee hear
ing yesterday criticized the Navy
Department measure as an un-
constitutional "anti-union bill"
Under that measure, already ap-
proved by the House, the Federal
Communications Commission could
deny or suspend Immediately the
license of any radio operator accused
of being a ''subversive individual" :"
Argue Rights Violated.
Union spokesmen argued that this
violated the democratic rights Of
trial by jury, of being considered in
nocent until proven guilty, and the
right to work
Instead, Mr.. Selly suggested an
eight-point program of precautions
and checks on ship radio operators.
Admiral Hooper. who told the
Senate subcommittee that the pres
ent war is full of examples of the
difficulties of the fifth column radio
operator" said that the union sug-
gestions had merit but they are
not complete and the law we recon-
mend is necessary" He declared
that any operator suspended under
the suggested legislation would get
speedy chance for reinstatement
by disproving charges.
Senator Radcliffe, chairman of the
Senate Merchant Marine Subcom-
mittee considering the controversial
measure, told the labor leaders he
was confident that the broad powers
would not be abused or used to
cripple labor organizations.
In this emergency we must do
many things that we would not do
in normal times" Senator Radcliffe
said, as he thanked union spokes-
men for their testimony but indi-
Gated that the Navy's demands would
come first.
He said the subcommittee hoped
to act on the legislation next week.
