Charles Taft's Charqe
Irks La Guardia
Be- the AssaeiateS press

NEW YORK, Jan. 24-Mayor La
Guardia yesterday branded as un-
true and smear" a charge by the
former head of the Federal Security
Agency Community War Services
that New York was more responsible
for venereal infections in the armed
forces than any other city.
Replying in a statement to the
charge, made Saturday by Charles
P. Taft before the New York State
Bar Association, the Mayor declared
Il am afraid Charlie didn't know
exactly what he was talking about,
and added:
I'm sorry to read that he made
such misstatements because he usu-
ally is reliable. The trouble with his
statement is that it is not
true"
The Mayor quoted a letter dated
December 80, 1943, in which Eliot
Ness, director of the Community
War Services division Of social pro-
lection, thanked him for making
available the services of Police Com
missioner Lewis J. Valentine to the
Advisory Police Committee on Social
Protection.
The letter said Commissioner VAL
entine had contributed largely
toward eliminating such diseases in
the armed services.
In another statement the Mayor
announced he had submitted two
plans for remedial measures to the
New York Society for the Preven-
ton of Cruelty to Children, which
has been charged with having
wrought incalculable harm to thou
sands of children entrusted to its
care" in Manhattan.
A joint report of the Committee of
Institutions of the Domestic Rela-
tions Court and Commissioner of
Investigations William B. Herlands,
accused the society of maintaining
basement cell for unruly children,
inf1icting corporal punishment" and
serving unpalatable and insufici-
emily nourishing food.

Failure Of Woodruff Randolph,
ITU secretary-treasurer, to appear
before the board today was termed
an act Of contempt" by Wayne L.
Morse, board public member, as
Chairman William H. Davis said the
board would meet In executive
session to decide whether to COM
pei Mr.. Randolph's appearance by
subpoena.
Mr.. Randolph Is q candidate for
ITU president against President
Claude M. Baker. Mr.. Baker, with
out mentioning Mr.. Randolph by
name, said the boards future use
fulness will be impaired If it allows
any labor union oficer to treat it
with arrogant contempt"
Responsibility Discussed.
Mr.. Morse said members Of the
ITU would have to be held respon-
sible for the acts Of their president
IF Mr.. Baker agitates local unions
to ignore the War Labor Board In
wage disputes" He added that the
five members Of the ITU Executive
Council also have a measure Of re-
sponsibility for unauthorized strikes
ordered by local unions.
Mr. Baker pointed out that no
one officer Of the Executive Council
can be held responsible for the

of the five members must act affirm
atively before a strike can be
authorized. He said that the presi-
dent and secretary-treasurer must
be two of the three members.
Mr.. Baker reiterated that his
statements. in the ITU bulletin OF
last July and December. advising
local unions to obtain from pub
fishers the full IS per cent pay in
crease permitted under the Little
Steel formula or call a strike, rep
resented his own views only.

made a no-strike pledge, adding,
I'VE are an independent organiza-
ton with no other afrliation." He
asserted that moral pledge, given
in good faith. is as good as sigma
ture." Mr.. Martin said he did not
know ''if other labor organizations
have been asked to sign pacts not
to strike. That is not the Ameri-
can way of doing things" he de-
clared THE ITU record In war
time has been an excellent one"
Mr.. Morse said that If "WLB

have to be exercised against Mr..
Randolph" Chairman Davis added
that Mr.. Randolph on January 20
had received the boards telegram
requesting his appearance today.

Poll on Labor Draft
In Senate Gives Bill
Slim Chance 10 Pass
Ey the Associated Press.

GS tue AssOSih6O FIesS.
The future of national service
legislation rested today with small
group Of Senators who are far from
convinced that what this country
needs is a civilian labor draft.
If they voted today, they prob
ably would kill the proposal ad-
vanced by President Roosevelt as a
part of his new legislative program.
Associated Press reporters inter-
viewed Is of the 18 members Of
the Senate Military Affairs Com
mittee considering the labor con-
scription and the score was:
Five against it, one for it, nine
undecided" OF the latter group,
however, at least five showed by
their reaction that they are more
inclined to oppose than to support
the bill. One declined to comment,
but opponents count him on their
side. Two committee members were
out Of town.
Stimson to Press Case.
Secretary of War Stimson will ap-
pear before the committee Wednes-
day to take up where he left off last
week in his espousal of the legisla-
ton which would permit the draft
ing of men and women for work in
essential war plants. Mr. Stimson
argued for three hours last week,
but he failed to arouse much en-
thusiasm among committee men,
bers.
Mr.. Stimson will discuss the pro-
posal in a radio address from to
6:15 pm. tomorrow over the Ma
tional Broadcasting Co. network, the
War Department announced.
"A bill of that kind would do
more harm than good" said Sem
ator Murray, Democrat, of Mon
tana, TT would be a smear on the
whole production record in this
country"
Il don't think we need it." de-
clared Senator Truman, Democrat,
OF Missouri, chairman of the War
Investigating Committee
Opponents Listed.
Senators Murray and Truman were
Joined in their opposition by Sena-
tors Reynolds, Democrat, of North
Carolina, chairman of the Military
Affairs Committee; johnson, Demo-
crat, of Colorado and Kilgore,
Democrat, of West Virginia. Sem
ator Wallgren, Democrat, of WASH
ington withheld comment, but asso-
ciates said he is against the bill.
The only committee member who
gave the plan his unreserved sup
port was Senator Austin, Repub-
lican, of Vermont-and he wrote the
bill
Many Senators-OMahoney, Dem
ocrat, OF Wyoming, for example
are Withholding Judgment until they
can be convinced a civilian labor
draft could be equitably admins
tered. Others won't support the
idea unless they are sure that war
profit controls and taxes are fixed
to make the war burden equal on
labor and industry
