NLRB Ruling Hits
Companies in
Petri|Io Dispute

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. CUP)-
A National Labor Relations board
trial examiner has held that a
threat by James C. Petrillo to call
strikes against the National Broad
casting Co. and the Blue Network
was insufficient reason for the
companies refusal to bargain with
an independent union on the ques-
ton of record turner's jobs in their
radio stations.
Petrillo, president of the American
Federation of Musicians (AFL), has
told both networks that musicians
will be withdrawn from their major
programs if the companies recognize
the National Association of Broad
cast Engineers and Technicians.
This independent union has been
certified by NLRB as bargaining
agent for record turner's in the net
works stations except in Chicago.
Howard Myers, NLRB' examiner
who heard the testimony in a dis
pute in New York, reported to the
board that the companies refusal
to bargain was based on claim
that to do SO would result in repris-
ais from the AIM.

At an air transport command

was awarded an Oak Leaf Cluster to
be added to his Distinguished Fly

1t was presented by Brigadier
General William H. Tunner, COM

The award was made upon COM
pletion of 900 hours of operational

expected.
The air trail over the Hump. fam

the worlds toughest. Today the
Hump route is the only lifestream
of vital military supplies for the

award adds:

Sweet And Low

Salt Lake City had to put UP
with Deputy Sheriffs Frank Raney
and NJ. c. Pinnell for a while dur
ing a recent official visit they made
to that city.
Utah was having some of its best
brand of winter weather. Wind and
slush were in order.
The two Imperial county Officers
put their car away and repaired to
a hotel to 6on up preparatory to
getting dinner.
Resplendant in long overcoats and
snappy hats, the two officers en-
erged from the hotel entrance a
short time later to be met by the
full force of high wind.
All at once Raney's hat blew off
and landed top down in the water
flowing in the drain beside the
walk. Raney leaned over to get his
hat. Along came terrific blast of
wind and flapped the tail of Ran
ey's overcoat up over his back and
caused him to lose his balance. He
tottered a moment and then caught
his balance. He was up to his wrists
in icy water in a stance resembling
that of bird dog about to retrieve
a duck from a brook.
AS far as Pinnell is concerned
there never will be a moment quite
like that. Raney isn't discussing the
matter.
