AFL Plans 10 Protest
Oak Ridge BaIIoting
BY the Associated Press

OAK RIDGE, Tenn, Sept. 13-
American Federation OF Labor Or
ganizers planned today to protest to
the NLRB results of one of three
runoff elections here yesterday in
which workers at two operating
plants voted for unions as bargain
ing agents and third plant favored
no union.
I'VE will protest to high heaven
the election at Carbide & Carbon, "
said AFL Organizer James Barrett
following the tabulation.
The CIO will never be certified
as the winner, even if we have to
carry it to the Supreme Court be-
fore it is finished" he continued.
Charles M. Brooks, National La
Dor Board representative, announc-
ing official totals, said at Tennessee
Eastman the vote was 3,120 for no
union and 2,503 for AFL: at Carbide
& Carbon, 1913 for CIO and 1898
for AFL, and at Monsanto, 331 for
AFL and 1876 for CIO.
At the request of the AFL, four
counts of votes cast at Carbide &
Carbon were made and an error in
tally was discovered, but the final
result still gave the election to the
CIO by 25 votes.
NLRB regulations provide five
day period after official tabulations
in which company or union officials
may file protests.
The runoff election was called be-
cause in the first NLRB election held
August 2O-22 insufficient majorities
were received by either of the two
unions or no union.

WAA Turns Over Eiqh
Charges Of Fraud 10
Justice Department

Eight cases of suspected fraud,
repeatedly involving some former

radio, radar and other electronics
equipment, have been turned
over to the Justice Department
for appropriate action WAA
disclosed today.
AS the House Surplus Property
Committee prepared for at least a
week of public hearings, starting
September %, on the handling OF
surplus electronics, WAA Admins
TRAITOR Robert NJ Littlejohn in
formed Chairman Slaughter that
eleven remedial steps have beer
taken to expedite orderly placement
of electronics equipment in the
hands OF priority purchasers.
A twelfth effort, he revealed, has
been to uncover possible evidence oi

Mr.. Littlejohn stated, indications
of fraud, collusion or criminal
offense are prepared and sent tt
the Justice Department and the
Federal Bureau of Investigation. Sc
far, eight such cases have been
presented.
Several high ranking WAA Of
ficials as well as representatives of
the electronics industry will be
called as witnesses at the House
Committee hearings, the Office of
Committee Counsel Hugh D. Wise.
jr., announced. The inquiry will
deal mostly with general aspects of
disposal of that type of surplus
goods, but undoubtedly will devote
considerable attention to WAA's
earlier difficulties in that field and

letter to Representative Slaughter
was to assist the committee by pre-
senting a review of progress in
improving an admittedly "unsatis-
factory situation which prevailed
in the electronics disposal pro-
gram prior to the recent division

Mr.. Littlejohn declared that with
in a week after becoming admins

sity" of remedial action in WAA's
electronic activities.
Some of the remedial steps, in
Icluding discharge of a large num-
