|peiriIo Tells President
Union Will Weigh Plea
To Lift Recording Ban
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt's request that
the American Federation Of Musi-
clans (AFL) lift its ban on making
records for commercial use Is to be
considered Monday In Chicago by
the unions International Executive
Board.
James G. Petrillo, the unions
president, said he informed Mr..
Roosevelt by telegram late yesterday
that he had called the board meet
ing, "at which time your request
viii be given careful consideration"
The President made his request
to Mr.. Petrillo in a telegram after
a decision that the Government
could not force the union to comply
with War Labor Board order to
lift its ban.
Mr.. Roosevelt told Mr.. PetrilIo
that compliance with the WLB order
which the union has ignored since
June 15-would be your countrys
gain"
Mr.. Petrillo told a Senate COM
mttee IN January, 1943, that "the
request would be granted" If the
President asked that the ban be
removed.
The ban, laid down in an argu-
ment over what Mr.. Petrillo called
displacement of Give musicians"
now applies only to Victor, Colum-
bia and the National Broadcasting
Co.'S transcription division. The
union has made agreements with
about 80 other companies.
Mr.. Roosevelt's telegram said Sta
bilization Director Fred M. Vinson
had decided that the unions non
compliance with the WLB order lis
not unduly impeding the war effort"
For the Government to act, he
noted, the statute requires a finding
that dispute does impede the war
effort.

Judge Delays Serving
Warrants on 80 in
Transit Strike Case
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 5-Bench
warrants for 80 operating employees
of the Philadelphia TRANSPORTATION
Co. indicted by Federal grand jury
that investigated Philadelphia's six
day transit strike in August, were
held in allegiance today by direction
OF District Judge Guy K. Bard. The
Judge observed that most of those
named probably would surrender.
The men were indicted yesterday
on charges of violating the War
Labor Disputes Act, and bail was
fixed at $500 each. The maximum
penalty on conviction is one year in
Jail, a $4,000 fine, or both.
With the indictments, the grand
jury returned a report saying, "It
seems quite clear that, so far as
there was flame or fire in the strike,
the chief fuel therefore came from
resentment over the upgrading of
Negroes to platform positions"
but adding, "We are pleased - to
express our conviction - that the
great majority of the employees were
not interested to strike on this
basis"
The grand jury's presentment also
said that controversy between four
labor unions seeking to represent
PTC employees "had its part in the
spirit manifested in the strike" and
that the jurors noted that country
wide, we had made a long step away
from the company union which
might, with the right motivation on
both sides, have seemed the ideal
method of relations in our industrial
life"
James j. Fitzsimon, international
vice president of the CIO Trans
port Workers Union, which recently
replaced the PRT Employees Union
Gnd) as bargaining agent for
PTC employees. issued a statement
saying, THE report of the grand
jury shows beyond doubt that
it was dominated by reactionary,
partisan, Republican thinking"

First OF a Series. J

Montgomery County voters or
November 7 will decide whether tc
abolish the present county setup in
favor of charter form of govern
ment based on home rule.
With only about 10 weeks re-
naming before the general election
both sides have already launched
their campaigns.
The movement for charter form
OF government traces its beginnings
to a two-year Brookings Institute
survey OF the county's governmental
setup, results of which were made
public in March, 1941.
The survey had been urged by
the Montgomery County Civic Fed
Grafton in 1888 and both the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties had
agreed to have it made.
After the 1888 election, the Board
OF County Commissioners authorized
the Brookings Institute to make the
survey, with the county paying S.
600 toward the cost.
After two years of study, the in
stltution released its findings. The
report recommended radical changes
in the county's government, includ-
ing a county manager plan and a
county civil service system.
1t also proposed the election of a
county council on a non-partisan
basis with nomina tions to be made
by petition instead of by the tradi-
tional party machinery.
In addition to outlining a score or
more of major changes, the report
made suggestions for bringing them
about within the provisions of an
amendment to the Maryland Con-
stitution providing for home rule
for counties.
After the report had been dis
cussed by various organizations
throughout the county, a county
wide study group, comprising more
than q dozen member bodies. was
