Begin Legal Blow
 At Ku Klux Klan

NEW YORK (FP)-Legal action to dissolve the Ku K1ux Klan which showed signs of revival of New York state recently was begun April 2o by State Atty. Gen. Nathaniel L. Gold stein.
 Denouncing the "mere existence" of the xxx as constant menace" he obtained an order from Supreme Court Justice Benjamin F. Schreiber start ing proceedings to revoke the charter of the Knights & Women of the Ku K1ux Klan Inc.
 Revival of the xxx came out in the open April 5 when the New York Committee for Justice in Freeport re- ceived a threatening letter warning that Klan members would attend a mass rally called by the labor backed committee to protest the killing of two Negroes.

Wyatt Calls For Citizen Action In Homes Crisis
Housing Shortage Not War Baby Says Expediter
 At Conference

WASHINGTON (FP)-The war is not over yet as far as housing is concerned, according to Housing Expediter Wilson Wyatt. He made the statement in opening discus sion for the Conference on Un- finished Business in Social Legis- latiOn, which held two-day session here.
 "The housing shortage is certainly not war baby. It has steadily come upon us over IS years or more," said Wyatt. He said the acuteness of the problem was brought about by fail ure to build homes during times of unemployment, coupled with the rapid rate of discharges from the armed forces and people now being unwilling to live in shanties-"on top of four war years when we built no more houses than absolutely necessary"
 Urges Local Action

CI Amputees Among Monopoly Victims

The trial of one of the meanest monopolies ever indicted for vio- lating the antitrust laws is about to get under way in Washington. It involves scores of manufactur- CTS of artificial limbs who are all legged to have conspired to hold up amputees including ex-serv- icemen on prices and deprive them of better devices.
 Federal Judge Brewer Broaddus of Oklahoma will preside. Because of his experience in antitrust cases he was picked for the job by the late Chief Justice Stone.
 Indictment of the limb manufactur- CTS is one of the achievements of the investigation into the plight of the physically handicapped which Con- gressman Augustine B. Kelly of Pennsylvania has been directing for some time.
 Also, the Federal Trade Commis- sion outlawed the numerous sharp practices in the industry and did the unusual thing of writing Kelley a letter thanking him for making the investigafiOn.

Davis Talks On
 Christian Science

Will B. Davis of Chicago stressed the contribution of Christian Science to moral well-being at lecture Mon day, May 6, at the New Haven High School.
 He said, Our reason tells us that our loving Father-Mother God must have divine plan of progress for His universe; but the material picture often seems to be far from a good plan.
 "We are witnessing through the teachings of Christian Science the same sort of spiritual healing which was performed by Jesus. Many turn to this Science after their case has been pronounced hopeless, or after years of unavailing effort to secure other relief, and still the percentage of cases healed through scientific Mind-healing is very high indeed. Even though some may hesitate to place their trust unreservedly in God, let us rejoice in the fact which Chris tian Science is proving daily, that there is no such thing as incurability !"with God all things are possible" (Matt. 1o:26).
 Christian Science, Gods law of continuous right activity, is the divine plan for meeting human needs"

A wins within both groups, they will be merged into a single industrial unit; otherwise separate units will be set up.
 Among the factors considered by the Board in determining unit questions are the collective bargain. ing history and the history of the labor organizations involved, the extent of integration of the em. ployer's operations, the similarity of the skill, wages, work and work. ing conditions of the various em- ployees, and the desires of the em. ployees.
 It is vital that organizers decide upon the unit i'm which they will claim representation before peti- tioning the Board for certifcatiOn. and that the unit be one which is consistent with Board policies. If the unit claimed is inappropriate, the Board may dismiss the petition or order an election in a unit in which the union has insufficient strength.
 Companies will frequently concede the unions majority in unit without requiring the union to petition the Board. But once the union is certi- fled, or its majority conceded, the company is obligated to bargain with it for all workers in the unit

 claims to represent a majority, the question must be asked-a major. ity of what? Which employees are covered? The questions relating to appropriate unit'' are complicated and puzzling, and there has been much litigation on the subject be- fore both the National and the State Labor Relations Boards.
 Units most frequently found appro- priate are "craft units"-for example, all production and maintenance work CTS regardless of craft. Sometimes two or more plants of an employer are included in single unit, and some times "industry-wide units" are set up, where management bargains through employers associations.
 Industrial vs. Craft
 Often one labor organization will seek representation in an industrial unit and will be opposed by another labor organization which seeks sepa- rate unit for a craft within the larger group. For example: Union A files a petition seeking certihcation as the representative of all production and maintenance workers of a certain company. Union B intervenes and claims to represent the company's ma chinists. In such a case the Board may provide for "Self lf-determination' by the machinists, and may order an election in which the machinists' bal lots will be tallied separately from those of the other workers.

 ln Civil Action

A demurrer made by the Town of wateFtOwn A the eio,OOo assault and battery suit os Rnel Dunn of Waterbury was sustained today hy Judge Charles | Mclaughlin in the Litchneld Superior Court. and former Police ofncer Louis Jordan cf watertown was thereby left as the sole defendant.
 Dunn in bringing the civil action against Jordan and the town claimed he was severely injured April "a by the policeman during an arrest.
 He charged that the town and It's offlcials should have known that Jordan was "a man of uncontrol. able temper and bad judgment" and that he had on other occasions beat persons whom he arrested. He claimed the town was negligent tn retaining Jordan when it allegedly knew he was ''unfitteo for the posi- tion of police ofiAcer."
 Through its counsel. Attorney William B. Fitzgerald Of Water. bury, the Town of Watertown de- murred to Dunn's claims on the ground that in employing Jordan the town was performing a gov. ernmental function and was not liable for negligent performance
 Judge Mclaughlin states in his memorandum of decision, Police ofncers appointed by a city are not its agents or servants m sucn sense as to render it responsible for their unlawful or negligent acts in the discharge Of their duties as policemen. A city Is not liable Tor an assault committed by it's police officers while making an arrest"
 Judge Mclaughlin stated further that police officers while perform ing their duties are not agents or servants of the municipality but public officers of the law and that flor injuries committed by them unlawfully ard tortiously the only remedy for. the person injured IS against them personally.
 The memorandum continues, "The duties of a town in main- tenance of the public peace are 2 governmental function imposed oy the state for the benefit Of the gen. eral public and when 90 engaged if viii be immune from liability Tor injuries done in the performance oi such acts" -,,..
 Jordan resigned recently as police officer for the town.
 Dunn, who was acquitted in the Litchfield Common Pleas Court on charges of breach of peace ana re- sisting an officer following the ar- rest. was hospitalized for eight days after the arrest.
 Attorneys Michael V, Blansfielo and Irving W. Pasternak represent Dunn.

 Eliot said Adamson went to cam. bridge, Mass, a few days ago ana questioned Shapley about campaign contributions in the congressional contest between Rep. Joseph w. Martin, Jr., R.-Mass), and Demo- cratic candidate Mrs. Martha sharp.
 T doubt whether the professor knows anything about those con- tributions." Eliot said.
 Denies Permission Granted
 Rankin later flatly denied that Adamson had granted Eliot per- mission to attend the hearing.
 we were in executive session and the attorney had no business in there" Rankin told reporters.
 Rankin was the only committee member who attended the session.
 Shapley. for 25 years director or the Harvard Observatory. Is the president of Science Service and of the American Astronomical so- ciety. He also is the only Ameri- can holder of the Pope Plus prize for distinguished service to sci" ence and minkind.
 Eliot issued a statement in which he sasid any attempt "to discredit the loyalty and integrity of this man" would be 'an afront" to sci- entists and university and govern ment officials who have again and again chosen him to fill distin- guisned and responsible posts"
 Tt would be an tmbecilic per- formance which would not promote the respect which we want other nations to feel toward our gov- ernment. including our Congress, !" Eliot said.
