lieves that the present proceedings
arise from a labor dispute within

therefore without jurisdiction to
issue the restraining order and is
presently without power to punish
the defendants for their alleged
contempt" Mr.. Peppers afidayit

junction sis not merely an i'm
proper, but an Intellectual means

Dor disputes"

livered by special messenger to JUS

KnoWIand Advocates
Opening Committee
Sessions 10 Public
BY the A..eeiossd Press

Senator Knowland, Republican, OF
California today urged that the Sem
ate open virtually all committee ses-
sions to the press and public.
Further, he told reporters, all
committee votes ought to be a mat
ter of public record.
The 38-year- Californian noted
that the Congressional Reorganiza-
ton Act, which takes effect in Janu-
ary, provides the committee hear
ings shall be public except execu-
tive sessions for marking up bills
or for voting or where the commit
tee by majority vote orders an
executive session"
The same act requires that each
committee keep a record of all votes.
but it doesn't say they must be
made public.
'T think committee votes should
be as much matter Of public rec
ord as roll calls in the Senate" Sen
ator Knowland said.
"The country would be outraged
by any proposal that Senate votes
be conducted by secret ballot. Yet
questions which arise in commit
tees are OF the same magnitude.
ION the Senate floor, each Of the
96 members represents q little more
than l per cent of the total vote.
In committee, however, he may
WELD power equivalent to 10 or Is
per cent of the Senate. BY sitting
on a bill, and refusing to permit
it to come before the Senate for
debate, a committee may exercise
greater power than the Senate
itself"
In a separate interview. Senator
Lucas, Democrat, of Illinois said
that while he considers open COM
mittee sessions desirable in general,
questions affecting the Nations Sc
curity arise In the Foreign Rela-
tions, Military and Naval Affairs
Committees which hardly can be
thrown wide open to all observers.
Sen. Knowland is known to have
been irked by the secrecy with
which the Senate War Investigating
Committee veiled proposal to send
q subcommittee to Germany to
look into occupation problems.
That question was finally settled
-in the ive-yesterday when q
telegraphic poll showed the COM
mittee opposed the trip. The six
Democrats voted against 1t. the
four Republican members for 1t.
The State and War Departments
have counseled against making the
