Was Center of Controversy.
Mr.. Smith, now in private law
practice here, was the center OF a
controversy here in 1888 and 1899,
when his reappointment to the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board drew
bitter protest from the American
Federation of Labor and became the
basis for general airing of criti-
cisms of the board.
Mr.. Smiths place on the board
was one of the bones of contention
between the AFL and the CIO with
the former contending that Mr..
Smith favored the CIO in disputes
over union jurisdiction.
In the face of strong Senate op-
position to confirming the reap
pointment the nomination lapsed
and Mr.. Smith went into private
law practice here. A year later Mr..
Smith again came into the news
when a question arose over whether
he should be retained as attorney for
tn Ford Motor Co. in a case before
the NLRB In Dallas. Later 1t was
determined Mr. Smith was not vio-
lating the rules since the case was
initiated after he left the NLRB.

For the last several years this
region of contact between the jap
anese and Soviets has been rela-
lively quiet, while incidents occurred
frequently along other sections of
the 5000 -mile-long frontier.
Conjecture among experts on
Asiatic affairs here is by no means
unanimous.
One group holds that the Jap
anese will not attack, having enough
on their hands already with the
growing power of the Allies in the
Pacific and East Asia.
Another contends that while the
japanese we'll may be concerned
about this, they are, nevertheless, in
this war with the Nazis and must
realize that once Germany is liqui-
dated the Allies can turn their full
attention to the Pacific. And the
Germans, this group argues, un-
doutedly are pressing the japanese
for second front against the Rus
slams in the East which would divert
much Soviet strength from the
