|WLB Expected to Back Military
In Dispute on Rights Of Guards

The issue arose in the case of the
Brewster Aeronautical Corp, Johns
vile, Pa, where a strike occurred
last month in protest against the
Coast Guards arrest of several plant
guards who had refused to take posts
assigned them by a naval officer.
The guards insisted on their senior
ity privileges of choosing desirable
posts. Some months earlier they
had been sworn into the Coast
Guard, but they received no military
training, continued to wear their
company uniforms, were paid by
the company, and were members of
the CIO United Auto Workers.
The panel recommendation is sub
ject to review by the full board, but
approval is expected.

cent of them were driving alone
it also showed that of the holders
OF &C. books, 3804 per cent were
driving alone. This was compared

This percentage was arrived at
