told a reporter. "And furthermore,
we are not going to waste any time
on small birds We are going to save
ourselves for the big game, If there
is any around"
Representative Rankin, Democrat,

looks like we'll get into this thing
fully now" and said he was pleased

WLB Studies Issue
OF Union Bylaws in
Printers Contracts
BY the Associated Press.


A major controversy between
newspaper publishers and the In
ternational Typographical Unior
(AFL)-over union demands for in
clusion of certain of its 1945 by
laws in working contracts-camt
before the War Labor Board today
The board called internationa.
and local officers of the union to 9
public hearing on work Stoppages
involving printers at the Jersey
Journal, Jersey City, and the Times
Bayonne, N. j. The issues, includ.
ing wage and other demands, are
part of some 20 other newspaper
cases.
The latest work stoppage CLOSED
the three daily newspapers in Bir-
mingham, Ala, Thursday. Both
sides agreed the only point at issue
there was whether the contract
should include the union laws.
The international union has asked
the board to limit its consideration
to seven points, embracing wages
and other pay benefits, but the
in most of the cases GER
tilted to the WLB insisted that the
issue of union laws be included.
Union officers say most publish
ers for years have made commit
ments in their contracts with ITU
to observe the unions laws, but
have baked in recent months, and
collective bargaining has broken
down.
Publishers representatives con-
tend the new bylaws make drastic
changes in the old. They say they

$500 10 Go 10 Work
Monday as Engineers
End Four-Day Strike

More than 1900 construction en-
ployes will be back at work Mon
day on seven Government and pri-
vate projects after four-day
strike by AFL engineers.
The strike was ended yesterday
but Saturday is a day off for most
of the union workers affected, who
refused to cross the engineers
picket line.
Pickets were recalled after a con-
ference by representatives of the
union, the Washington Building
Trades Council and the Labor De-
partment's Cancellation Service at
which it was decided to submit the
dispute to the War Labor Board
The WLB tentatively has scheduled
a hearing for early next week.
1t was understood the WLB hear
ing would be conducted by one
man panel and hence would not
deal with recognition of the Inter
national Federation of Technical
Engineers, Architects and Drafts
men, the striking union, as an area
bargaining body. Union recognition
wage boosts, paid vacations and sick
leave pay were the chief points OF
complaint by the IA engineers OF
Local %, at whose instance the
strike was called.
Pickets on Housing Job Recalled.
Previously Howard Gohrbrand
president of the local, had expressed
unwillingness to have the case
heard by a WLB representative not
empowered to order union recogni-
ton. He held out until yesterday
for hearing by three-man panel
or a direct meeting between the I'M
ion and the Washington Master
Builders Association.
The latter organization, to which
belong the Harwood-Nebel Con-
struction Co. and John McShain
Inc. contractors against whom the
strike was directed, declined to meet
with the union on the grounds a
quorum of association members
could not be reached for their agree
ment.
Resumption of work will affect
seven projects whose aggregate cost
is in the neighborhSod of $40, 000,-
600.
Pickets also were called off at the
Lincoln Heights colored housing
project, included In the strike, al
though the Labor Department had
not certified the dispute there be-
tween the union and T. Calvin
Owens, contractor, along with those
involving the McShain and Har-
wood-Nebel concerns.

AROUND OFFICES OF
VETERANS AFFAIRS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 49,
WP)-The Veterans administra-
ton, with some embarrass-
ment, confessed today that its
two chorus girls were non-ex-
istent.
The stery dates back a cou-
PIE Of days when VA publicity
men told how disabled veter-
ans were being re-trained for
suitable occupations un d er
public law 16. Two women vet
Grams were said to be study
ing at government expense to
be chorines.
Well, people became interest
ed and made inquiries. After
a bit Of researcht VA found
that the 1.-TWO chorus girls"
weren't girls at all, but males,
and what's more, they weren't
training for the chorus line.
One, a 19-year-old former
seaman second class, lives In
Louisiana and is taking four
year course leading to career
as q ballet dancer. He was
once a messenger.
The other former second
lieutenant. He is taking a IL

Veterans of this war, for exam
pie, most of whom are in their
twenties, show marked prefer
ence for the Democratic party. 81
In a poll just completed by the
Institute among discharged vete-
RI MS more than six in every ten
who expressed party preference
said that if a presidential election
were being held at this time, the
Democratic party would get their
vote.
The division of their sentiment
between the major parties is as
follows:
eff the presidential election were
being held today, which party would
you vote for-the Democratic or
Republican,
Vote Of Veterans
Democratic ---------6 $3.50 y
Republican an-37
Twenty-eight percent (nearly
three in ten) were undecided.
THE PROBLEM of winning
greater support among the veter-
ans is part of the larger problem
facing the Republican Party -
how to win over a larger proper
ton of all voters in the youngest
age brackets 81 to %, who are
now predominately Democrs tic.
1t is apparent that the chief
reason that veterans tend to be
Democratic is their age rather
thu n the fact that they have been
in service. This is shown by the
fact that Democratic preference
is as high among voters in their
twenties who have not had mill
tary service as it is among veter-
ans, on the basis of replies to the
question in the present survey.
