In New Proposal

WASHINGTON, D. c. - (SNSO-
Copies of the resolution adopted by
the NAACP Board of Directors at
it's September meeting strongly dis
approving S. iii, the Federal In
dustrial Relations Act, were pre-
sented to its sponsors, Senators
Carl A. Hatch ID. of N. Mex and
Joseph f. Ball OR. Mimi, by Les
lie Perry of the NAACP Washing
ton Bureau last week. Senator
Harold H. Burton (R., Ohio, the
other co-sponsor was recently given
a seat on the bench of the United
States Supreme Court.
The bill proposes to scrap the
National Labor Relations Board in
favor of a five-man Federal Labor
Relations Board to handle contro-
versies between labor and manage
ment.
OBJECTIONS LISTED
The NAACP listed the following
objections to the bill
ID The right to strike would be
more seriously limited in peacetime
under this bill than it was in time
of war.
co The Statutory restrictions of
the Norris-LaG uardia Act against
labor injunctions by federal courts
would be relaxed and largely set
aside.
CD The bill is so drawn as to
! exclude from federal regulation
great numbers of industries ana
enterprises over which the National
Labor Relations Board now exer-
cises jurisdiction with the sanction
of the Supreme Court.
(4 Union Influence" upon and
interference" with the selection Of
a bargaining representative is pro-
hibited, thus opening the way for
undue restriction of proper union
activity of labor organizers.
60 Although the bill contains a
desirable prohibition of closed
shop where Negroes are excluded
from union membership, it appar-
emily would permit closed shop
with Jim Crow and Auxiliary
Negro locals. Moreover, labor or
| ganization which excludes Negroes
altogether may become the "ex-
elusive bargaining agent" for these
, excluded Negroes under the bill
Negro railroad men, among others,
know the consequences of sucn an
arrangement.
The NAACP indicated thai il
would testify in opposition to the
| bill when hearings are held on it
by the Senate Education and Labor
F, Committee. Organized labor is also
{ against the -Burtan-BaIl bill.

The majority report submitted by
Senator Pat McCarran,, Demo-
crat of Nevada, said:
"It is cutie clear that the So
called poll-tax laws do abridge the
privileges and ilnmunities of clti-
zens of the United States. If any

prived Of the privilege of voting by
any of these poll-tax laws, it seems
clear abridgement OF the priv1-
leges of citizens of the United

"One of the greatest privileges.
and fundamental one,, OF every
citizen of the U. S is the right
to vote. If he is deprived of this
right, ne is denied the right to

POLICY SUCCESSFUL

This policy, which opposes that

QUIBBLING REPORTED
Repeatedly there had been some
quibbling in high administration
levels as to whether this letter
should have gone to the President
or rather directly to the attorney
general. Whether or not the argu-
ment was ever reconciled is not
certain The fact is that the memo
was sent to the White House.
According to well-informed
source, this letter did not arrive
from the White House at the office
of the attorney general until Wed
nesday, october 10.
Leaning over backwards in a
cautious attitude, The FEPC has re-
Trained from making any state
mentS, public or private, on the
situation. 1t has obviously kept out
of the news for fear that to do
otherwise might jeopardiZe the case
STREAMING SEEN
The deduction that is being put
upon the current trend of events by
outsiders is that "the relationship
between the committee and the
White House is not too good" Evi-
dence being cited by these observers
is that the President, fully aware of
the precarious position that his
committee finds itself in, has done
little more than give Zip service
to its plight, and this in his mes
sage to congress.
Asked what the committee is
doing in the way ii processing cases
Chairman Malcolm Ross said that
he helped to present a report in
about 10 days based upon the ex-
periences of his regional offices. He
said complaints are still being re
ceived and investigated" He added
that employers generally through
out the regions accept the fact thai
the FECP is still on the job"

 Bowling League

There was great rejoicing among eleven teams of the league last night. The mighty Plugs lost three points. The lowly Sparks, who scored the upset, take great plea sure in knocking of the top teams, and maintain that from now on it Is going to be ad different story; they are going to win three points each week instead of one. How ever despite their loss, the Plugs still retain their grip on first place, and they claim that after the vaca- ton over the holidays, they will be back in stride again on January 9th, when they meet the Jets. It looked for while as though the champs were headed for 8 whitewashing, but in the last game their "Beauti- full Blonde Bomber" Florence Smith, found the target for score of 105, and Pat" Dwyer and Rene Droulet came through with marks just when they were needed.
 A good many members of the league seemed to be thinking more about the Christmas party than bowling, but Helen Roberts and Madeline Sweeney kept their minds on the game, as evidenced by their respective scores of 313 and 311. Gordon Whitaker, Harry Brennan, Ernie Berthothy, Anthony Stokes and Floyd Gensler were also in the bowling mood, and Jack Kearney started off the evening with a good string of 134.
 Merry Christmas. and Happy New Year to all. See you on Tuesday, January 9th.

May Dedicate Cotton Bowl
 Go for Bible
BY TED READ Limited Press Sports Written

Austin, Teas, Dec. 20.-CUP)-Be- fore Jan. rolls around therell like ly be a move afoot to dedicate the Cotton Bowl to D. X. Bible, vener- able football coach at the Univer- sity of Texas.
 For just year from then the plump, bald mentor will end 34 years ot active coachcign. He'll be end- ing a 10-year. $l5,600 a year ath- letic directorsh;p and head coach position at the university. He will take the athletic dictatorship as his sole job at 5000.
 That's of his own choosing. He turned down offers for more money than 5000 and contract renewal.
 In the encounter at Dallas against Missouri Universitys Tigers, Bible will be aiming at his 200th vic- tory in 33 years of coaching.
 No Stranger to Tigers
 To the Missouri crowd Bible is ertainly no stranger. The big fat University of Texas salary in l937-together with guarantees of a 1reehand - indued him to come south from Nebraska. Bible likes the brand of ball played in the Big Six.
 He likes the way things are oper- ated in that part of the country. Missouri will remember Bible for during his eight years at Nebraska his teams walked off with six Big Six championships.
 It would be a fine affair for the Texans if they could knoox off Mis- Souri at Dallas. That not only would give them two wins out of three trips to the Cotton Bowl, but 1t also would add to their prestige ill setting record as the only II to go there thrice.
 Though he's not given over to elaborate forecasts, there might be way back in Bibles mind an idea that another of his trained teams will make an appearance at the Cotton Bowl on Jan. l, 1947.
 Next Year Outlook Good
 At this time the outlook for the 1946 season is exceptionally bright. There are but two seniors on the present eleven-right tackle Jimmy Flyer and back Guy Nunnelly. The rest of the crew has another year Of eligibility.
 That goes for Texas mighty line. featuring ends Hubert Bechtol and Dale SchwartzKopf, tackle Harlan Wetz and center Dick Harris. And for the guard slots the mainstays are David Green and San Callan. Don't overlook backs Bobby Layne, Jack Halfpenny, Byron Gillory, Bill Joe Baumgardner and Ralph Els worth.
 Ali of them contributed much to Texas success and eventual bid to the Cotton Bowl. They're all ex- pected back in '46.
 But even if the Cotton Bowl of- ficials don't think of dedicating the classic to Bible, it's likely the play CTS will have a warm spot in their hearts to make them play harder and start the coach toward we'll earned retirement with a glowing record
