ALLIES PUSH P|NCER MOVE in ITALY
Very, Very, Sorry.
But No Dice"
BY UNITED PRESS

Japan'S latest plans for post
war treatment" of the United
States call for the complete des-
truction of American naval pow
er and merchant shipping, abo-
lition Of private banking and lab
or unions, and formation of
Tokyo-controlled puppet govern
ment, according to Domei news
agency broadcast recorded by U.
S. government monitors.
The Japanese terms, Domei
said, were drawn up by two naval
and economic experts who pro-
posed that after the United States
surrenders" Japan would MAIN
tain strict supervision over all
American affairs for 10 CT more
years or perhaps indefinitely"
The experts recommended that
all American Warships and ocean
liners be confiscated by Japan,
that production of steel and oil be
restricted and that Americans
must refrain from stock market
speculation.
The expense of taking over the
United States shipping would be
Lorn by America, and indemnit-
les of 10 times the construction
cost should be eXacted for every
ship scuttled, they proposed.

Blames Firm:
Rules Clash

WASHINGTON, May 23.
CUP) = Allegedly unfair la
Dor practices by Montgomery
Ward and Co. helped create
a situation in which employ
ers seeking to comply with war
labor board directives might well
have found themselves in conflict
with the National Labor Relations
act, house comrlittee was told
T'ueSCay.
Gerald D. Reilly, member of the
National Labor Relations board,
told the committee investigating
government seizure of Montgomery
Wards Chicago properties that the
company's past conduct with re-
gard to its legal obligations under
the National Labor Relations act
cannot be ignored in weighing the
merits of the dispute"
Wares attitude, Reilly said, led
to a series of labor disputes in Chi
cago resulting from the refusal OF
employers to continue to recognize
unions as legal bargaining agents
at the expiration of their contracts.
The number of these cases, Reilly
said, prompted the war labor board
to deviate from its policy that dis
putes involving a unions majority
status could be resolved only under
the labor relations act.
1.-The WLB decision served to
emphasize a defect in our regula-
tions," Reilly said, "since disputes
of this sort could not be resolved
by the WIB, and yet employers
were bound by its orders to recog-
nize unions no longer possessing
a clear majority as the bargaining
representative.
A situation was thus created, he
sale, which could we'll bring en-
ployers seeking to conform with
WLB directives into conflict with
the NLfB. Reilly said it was this
problem which caused the NLRB to
propose a regulation giving en-
ployers. over whose labor disputes
the WLB had taken jurisdiction,
the right to petition for an NLRB
election among employees when there
was doubt as to the majority status
of a union which was seeking new
contract.
