POSTMASTER POINTS TO SPECIAL SERVICES FOR
 CHRISTMAS GIFT MAILS

Postmaster Crystal Jenne called the attention of the public here to- day to the advantages of insuring Christmas gift packages placed in the mails
 Congress, she pointed out, has re- duced postal insurance rates on third and fourth class matter to promote increased usage of the insurance service and simplified insuring forms also facilitate the use of the service. Coverage for loss or damage to mail ed parcels may easily be obtained from the clerk at the parcel post window at the time an item is mail ed Senders should retain insur- anoe receipts as evidence of insur- ance should it later become neces- sary to file a claim. The receipt should bear the name and address of addressee
 Other postal services offering sub stantisl advantages which are ex- pected to become more popular with increased public knowledge of them are registry and Collect on De- livery mailing

LOCAL ARCHITECTS
 CHOSEN FOR THREE
 PUBLIC WORK JOBS
Toss and Malcolm Contracts Accepted 10 Plan City
 Building PrOjeCts

The local architectural tlrm ol Foss and Malcolm was last night approved by the City Council tc prepare advance plans for the three public structures for which Juneau has been granted planning loans by the Federal Works Agency.
 The four Councilmen present - Young, Grummett, Skuse and Mel sen - voted to enter into contracts for the three projects. Previously a renewed request had been read from the EVA, asking that the City return signed loan agreements and architects contracts immediately so that the planning funds could be advanced. The EVA refused to con- n.ent on the Foss and Malcolm agreements except to state that they met all EVA requirements and ap- pear to be the usual form of archi- tectural contract.
 The contracts approved by the Council for planning of the Mem orial Library, Fire Hall and Airport Administration Building are revised from those originally submitted by Foss and Malcolm.
 A flat-fee bass has been substi- tuted for the percentage arrange ment to which several members of the Council had objected Approv- al was voted after the Foss and Malcolm offers had been compared with those submitted by a Portland, Oregon, firm of architects, Wick, Hilgers and Scott. The local offers were found to be some lower in all three cases. The Portland firm is serving as architects for the City of Petersburg.
 Also, Mayor Ernest Parsons an- nounced preceding the vote, that the Foss and Malcolm offer for planning the proposed Memorial Library here has the approval of the Memorial Library Board. That ap- proval was made known by Board Members B. D. Stewart and James Ryan, B. Prank Heintzleman not being present.
 Advance planning loans approved by the EVA for the three public works projects are Airport Building, $7,000; Fire Hall $3,000; Library, S2,000. The advance loans are to be repaid by the City only when the projects are constructed The loans are interest-free
 The prices set by Floss and Mal- colm for their planning services are: Airport Building, $500; Fire Hall

after the dispute has been certified,
and, if a fact-finding board is named
by the President, during the additional
25 days while it is holding hearings
and making up its report, "it shall be
unlawful for any person to coerce, in
stigate, induce, conspire with, or en-
courage any person TO interfere with
or prevent such work or operations
by lockout, strike, or otherwise, or
to aid any such lockout or strike or

BY MIRIAM KOLkIN

New ork-(FP).-TheN Natl. Assn.
of Manufacturers would support Pres.
Truman's fact-finding proposal-if it
is watered down, limited, denies pow
er to subpoena or make recommenda-
tions and includes no-strike provi-
sion - NAM Pres. Ira Mosher SAID
here, outlining five provisions NAM
wants incorporated in any fact-find-
ing legislation.
Mosher elaborated on the NAM
viewpoint in formal speech at the
opening session of the 3-day NAM
golden anniversary" convention in
the Hotel Waldorf Astoria and later
in the afternoon at a press confer
ence.
While admitting that Truman's plan
hewed pretty closely to NAM pro-
posals made at recent Washington
labor management conference, Mosher
indicated that the NAM favored ex-
tremely limited use of fact-finding
technique in settling labor disputes.
Once you dismiss compulsory arbitra-
tion-which neither labor nor manage
ment wants, Mosher told reporters
nothing is left but for labor and
management to fight it out.
Mosher also disclosed that Recon-
version Director John Snyder had
phoned him from Washington that
morning to again disavow report
by the advisory commission to the
Moh;I;,o4;o,, onJ paoonyorc;o,, poorJ
which had said industry could afford
to give labor a 24&6 wage increase
without raising prices. The previous
day in commenting on the President s
proposal Mosher had deplored that
report and one issued by Sec Of Com
merce Harry A. Wallace indorsing
wage increases in the auto industry
for "prejudging industry's ability to
pay a 3O% wage increase"
Mosher said Snyder assured him the
report did not represent the official
government viewpoint and that he
felt discussion Of merits of wage
cases should be confined to individual
companies. Snyder indicated he defi-
nitely "didn't like" the report, Mosh-
er said.
The NAM president hedged on the
question of whether he supported Tru-
mans action in setting up finding
boards in the General Motors strike
and steel case, although he said he
didn't know if Jury" could be found
in the U. S. with no preconceptions
about both cases. Five strings attach
ed to NAM support of the fact find
ing proposal are:
1. The fact-finding process should
be limited to disputes vitally affect
ing public health and safety and not
to general industry. Mosher admitted
this was open to elastic interpreta-
tion and said he would leave the de-
cision up to either the President or

the governor of the state involved.
2. Separate fact finding boards
should be appointed for each dispute
Mosher said he opposed establish
ment of a single, permanent agency
which Inevitably would establish GER
tain fixed patterns, as did the War
Labor Board" Industry is also opposed
to any more tripartite setups, he de-
clared.
8. The board should hear all ap-
propriate witnesses but should have
no subpoena power to undertake "fish-
ing expeditions" into the confidential
affairs and records of either the union
or the company. This underscores in
dustry's objections to labor's insis-
tence that in a wage dispute the COM
pany's books should be open for in
spection to determine its ability to
pay increases.
a. The board should be limited to the
finding of facts; it should not take
sides by issuing recommendations for
the settlement Of the dispute.
S. The status quo must be maintain
ed by both parties during the fact
finding procedure. The management
cannot change the conditions of en-
ployment and the union can not order
or permit strike.
eve will need still further legis-
lation in the labor field" Mosher told
his NAM audience. "But at least we
have now recognized openly that lab
or's admitted right to strike is right
which, in common with all other hu
man freedoms, may be qualified and
regulated in the public interest"
After first identifying himself as
mot abor-baiter," Mosher in rasp-
ing voice denounced labor for its stub
born refusal to give up what he called
it's special privileges as "the
right to strike while negotiations are
going on"
"We must have a labor policy
which does not result in wages TAX
ing so much of the gross income of
business that there is nothing left to
maintain adequate reserves and to
give decent return to those who risk
their funds" he said
Mosher gave reports hint of the
should relinquish when he said: "lf
kind of Especial privileges" labor
l can't get into my own plant and the
Norris-LaG Guardia act stands in the
war-then | guess it ought to CO."

forces Of reaction are on the march
again." AFL Sec.-Treas. George
Meany declared here Dec. 4. "There
are definite signs here at home that
labor will have to fight for its ex-
istence once more"
Without directly referring to Pres.
Truman's plan for fact-finding COM
missions and cooling-off periods,
neany warned against the Subtle"
form anti-labor proposals we're now
assuming:
"Just a little compulsory arbitra-
tion at first. Then little compulsory
work legislation. You know-a short
cooling-off period in which you must
work, whether you will or no. Then
maybe we will have revival Of GOV
ernment, insofar as labor is concern
ed, by injunction. Then perhaps lit
tie bit Of the old conspiracy doctrine,
under which any worker who suggests
to another worker that they both
cease work would be liable for none
tary damages and perhaps a Jail SEN
tenee or criminal charge"
The AFL does not intend "to sit
still in the fact of proposed legisla-
tion that in any way compels work
ers to work even for one minute
against their WILL" Meany said. "We
are not prepared to accept even a
little bit of slavery. We intend to re-
main wholly free"

Soldier Says Colonel
Advised MARRIAGE

Marine Pvt. Paul K. Kramer
stationed at the Marine Barracks
Twenty-third street and Constitu-
ton avenue, NV, who in February
filed suit seeking annulment of a
marriage he claims he was forced
into by his commanding officer
testified in District Court today
that the officer had advised" him
to go ahead with the marriage.
Pvt. Kramer, Pacific veteran
testified that he considered advice
given by commanding officer
equivalent to an order. Under
questioning, he said that if the
colonel advised him to get a hair
cut he would do it. He admitted
under cross however
that generally advice given by a
commanding officer pertains to
military matters.
The marriage took place in Up
per Marlboro last October. Accord
ing to testimony by the young
Woman's brother, an Army second
lieutenant, the commanding officer
Col Charles Dunbeck, had told
Kramer that the honorable recourse
was to marry the girl if he were
convinced he was the father OF
her unborn child.
The young woman, from Airing
ton, Va, testified to the baby's
birth last December. The case is
being heard by Justice James M
Proctor.

their we'll being and efficiency until
such sums are paid at future date.
The same policy which forbids
waiver of the statutory minimum as
necessary to the free flow of COM
merce requires that reparations to
restore damage done by such failure
to pay on time must be made to ac-
complish congressional purposes
Moreover, the same policy which
forbids employe waiver of the mini
mum statutory rate because of in
equality of bargaining power prohis-
bits the same employees from bar
gaining with their employer in de-
termining whether so little damage
was suffered that waiver of liqui-
dated damage is called for"
In the dissent, Chief Justice Stone
with relation to the Brooklyn Saw
ings Bank case, said I'VE find moth
ing in the Fair Labor Standards Act
to prevent the effective operation"
of such a release as was given in
this instance.
The dissent added "it is precisely
because the statute in this case has
in every respect treated the claim
for liquidated damages as private
claim while imposing sanctions as
for a public wrong for nOnpayment
of minimum and overtime wages.
that we must infer that Congress
intended that the claim for liqui-
dated damages should have the
status of private claims which are
subject to release, status which
the statute denied to minimum and
overtime wages"
Die Case Arguments.
In the Die case, where the Fourth
Circuit Court of Appeals held the
payment could not be waived, the
dissenters in the Brooklyn case
pointed out that there appears to
have been no accord and satisfac-
ton" between employer and en-
ploye and that for that reason the
latter was entitled to liquidated
damages
In the Arsenal Building case and
in one other case coming up from
New York the court held that the
employees also were entitled to col
lect interest under State law, but
the Supreme Court rejected this
contention.
The majority said that since Con-
gress had seen fit to fix the sums
recoverable because of delay in pay
ment 1T is inconsistent with con-
gressional intent to grant recovery
of interest on such sums, in view
of the fact that interest Is Gus
tomarily allowed as compensation
for delay in payment" and that to
allow interest actually would have
the effect of giving the employe
