Johnston Brings Charges
Against Referee Joseph

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April Zone day
after April FOOLS Day, Jimmy john
ston today submitted to the New
York State Athletic Commission for
NAL charges of incompetence and
negligence against Referee Eddie
Joseph in the Joe Louis-Abe Simon
heavyweight title fight last Friday
night.
Asking for public hearing as soon
as possible, as the commission prom
ised last Tuesday when 1t suggested
that Johnston submit the charges,
the pint-sized manager commended
not only that Simon was on his feet
when Joseph reached the count Of
10 in the sixth round, but also that
the referee did harass and annoy
Simon"
THE referee" Johnston charged,
continually interfered with Simon,
myself and the other seconds be-
tween each round, using abusive and
vulgar language to me and at least
three times threatening to have all
seconds In Simon's corner elected
and their license revoked"
In addition. Johnston maintained,
Joseph did not make an attempt to
send Louis to a neutral corner after
the knockdown," never made ANY
visible effort to pick up the count
from the knockdown timekeeper,"
and was "at all times one full second
ahead of the knockdown time
keeper"

Illinois {. |. 0. Post

BY the Associated Press.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill, April 2-Ray

dent of the United Mine Workers Of
America, resigned today as State
regional director of the Congress of
Industrial Organizations.
Mr.. Edmundson made public let
ter to Philip Murray, national C. I.
o. president, in which he declared
the policies of officers and executive
board members of the c. I. o. "in
my judgment do not contribute to
the necessary unity within the labor
movement, or the Nation, for the
greatest possible benefit in the pros
ecution of the war. ."
The C. T. o. leader also announced
he was quitting his post as president
of the Illinois State Industrial IN
ion Council, a State Federation of
c. I. o. unions.
He said that technically the Il
linois' District No IL of the United
Mine Workers is still affiliated with
the C.. T. o. and the State Industrial
Union Council" but refused further
comment on reports that the U. M.
w. A. international union might
sever it's utilization with the G. I. o.
as result of disagreements on policy
between Mr.. Murray and John l..
Lewis, U. NJ, w. A. international
president.

compared the situation to a transac-
ton between private individuals, but
the wyoming Senator insisted that
there was nothing analogous in the
situation.
Not Abrogated by War.
Senator O.Mahoney had described
the 1889 agreement as calculated to
permit Standard and Farben Ito live
together" Mr.. Howard retorted
that 1t was to allow them to Give
apart" He emphasized repeatedly
that the war did not abrogate the
Standardization contract. 80
Senator OMahoney, who formerly
headed the Temporary National
Economic Committee but is not a
member Of the Senate Defense Com
mittee, earlier had emphasized his
belief that Farben had withheld
information from Standard on
buna, the German synthetic rubber
development, until other independ-
ent companies here showed progress
in this field and caused fear in the
cartel that the position of the part
ners would be jeopardized.
Mr.. Howard would not agree to
that Interpretation. Mr.. Arnold had
told the committee that Standard
was furnishing Farben with full de-
tails on its own rubber product
butyl-and was getting nothing in
return. This also has been denied
by Standard.
License Plan Explained.
Senator O'Mahoney asked if it
wasn't fact that ''Farben was re-
fusing for years to give you the in
formation that you wanted for the
development of synthetic RUBBER"
The witness said that 1t was only
during the year 1898 that they had
failed to get information wanted
from the German company.
AS q matter of fact, he said, both
of them we're discouraged at the
status of the development in 1887.
What Standard wanted Farben to
do was to make the plans for the
commercial development of buna In
this country, the witness said. but
Farben could not get the necessary
approval from the German govern
ment.
Eventually the way was cleared
for the commercial development
here. Much Of the testimony today,
which also found w. S. Parish,
Standard president, on the stand,
dealt with licensing arrangements
under which Standard has released
patents. Mr.. Parish said that in
general the licenses had been I'M
limited with the terms made on
straight royalty basis.

Plant Anti-Bomb
Expenses Held
Tux-Deductible

BY the Associated Fress.
Treasury experts expressed the
unofficial opinion today that fac
tories and other businesses could
deduct blackout or bomb shelter ex-
penses in computing their income
tax. But householders could not,
they added.
One of the experts said he be-
lieved, although no formal ruling
had been made yet, that small ex-
penditures for blackout shades or
other materials by business firms
would be classified as ordinary and
necessary business expenses" for
business establishments.
More extensive OUTLAWS, such as
bomb shelters, he said, probably
would have to be regarded as capital
expenditures and deducted over q
period. of years. 90.
In the case of householders, black
out costs are not considered by the
Internal Revenue Bureau as bust
ness expenses" and apparently do
not fit into any other type of de-
duction. f
The parallel was drawn on medi-
cal expenses. A business establish
ment can deduct as business ex-
pense the cost of maintaining medi-
cal services for its employees or GUS
toners, but householders cannot.
However, the Treasury has recon-
mended such deductions for all in
dividuals in next years tax bill.

Doctor.D enfktFiIe
To Be Sci, Up 10 Fill
Needs Of Troops
Armed Forces Seeking
10000 by End Of Year;
QUESTIONABLE Drafted

To help obtain 5000 doctors and
5000 dentists for the armed serv-
ice by December 81, without de-
priving the civilian population of
medical and dental care, the Pro-
curement and Assignment Service
is preparing a new QUESTIONABLE, to
be sent soon to members of these
professions throughout the country.
AS explained by 1t. Col Sam F.
Seeley, executive officer of the serv-
Ice, the Government is building up
information on reservoir Of doc
tors, dentists and veterinarians.
The last group, however, is not so
much in demand at present.
The new QUESTIONABLE offers
young medical and dental men who
have been drafted the opportunity
Of getting commissions If they can
qualify physically and professionally.
Among doctors needed are $500
for the Army Air Force before July
l. After that this organization will
need about 800 a month for the rest
Of the year The Air Force is the
most rapidly expanding branch of
the armed forces of the country.
Applications of doctors for the
Air Force should be forwarded to
the air surgeon of the Army Air
Force, Washington. For the Army,
applications should go to the SUI =
geon General of the Army, WASH
ington. Applications for the Navy
should be forwarded to the nearest
naval district commandant.
To assure an equitable distribu-
ton of medical and dental services,
Col. Seeley explained all the armed
forces have agreed that doctors and
dentists will not be accepted until
they have been cleared through the
Procurement and Assignment Serv-
ice with a view to causing the
minimum jeopardy to the civil and
industrial population"

ers being transferred, as well as
transportation costs.
Migrant Workers Favored.
The w. P. B. should direct all
contracting departments to take
necessary action to insure full utili-
zation of local labor supply, includ-
ing women and minority groups.
Immigrant war workers should
have first call on all war housing,
without any requirement that they
buy such houses. Dormitories should
be provided for workers whose fam
lilies have been left at their former
homes. Authority should be OBJ
tanned to requisition housing space
for war workers.
To prevent delays through break
down Of local transportation, action
should be taken to stagger hours
and to obtain greater utilization of
rail services, inter-city and sight
seeing buses and other means of
transportation not essential to the
war effort.
Legislation should be obtained
authorizing w. P. B. to form mo-
bile labor corps of such size and in
such skills as necessary.
Man power boards should, among
other things, promptly consider the
realistic and practical determination
of the military needs of the Army
and Navy on one hand and in
dustrial needs on the other. This
consideration should include con-
trolls necessary to prevent wastage
of skills through voluntary enlist
ments in the Army and Navy.
The necessary action should be
taken to establish wage stabiliZa-
ton agreements wherever feasible.
While indorsing the training of
youth by N. Y. A., Mr.. Hillman
also described what has been done
by the labor division of the w. P. B.
under that division, he said. this
comprehensive program has pro-
duced these results:
81. 3,457,585 persons have been
trained or are receiving training
conducted outside of industry
through vocational and trade
schools and engineering colleges.
Job Instructor Program.
%. In-plant training methods
have been installed by the training
within-industry branch of the labor
division in more than 5000 war
contracting concerns employing web
over SITS, 900 workers.
IS. BY application of training
thin-induStry techniques more
than 10000 lead men, foremen and
supervisors have been trained to
pass on their know-how to new
workers in l,679 war plants with
total employment of 2,120,000 people.
This instructor program reaches
supervisory personnel at the rate
of 5000 a week and reaching more
contractors every day. 1t is esti-
mated that each of these 10000 new
supervisors will train at least 10 war
workers in the plant, right on the
job.
"Au these comprise an extremely
important percentage of the total
number Of workers who have gone
into war industry"
