Chicago Cabbies Start
For Home as Protests
Meet Little Success

Chicago's jobless hack drivers are
heading home today after week of
indifferent success in pressing a
protest against "taxicab monop-
oily" in the Illinois city.
A spokesman for the group of 200
war veterans said Arthur Dickholtz,
vice president, conferred in Chicago
this morning with Mayor Edward J..
Kelly prior to a City Council meet
ing at which the cab problem was to
be brought up.
The first of the cream and black
cabs of the American Cab Drivers
Association for Discharged Veterans
left the Capital yesterday and 9TH
ers were departing today.
The remainder, between so and rs.
will leave together tomorrow morn
ing. This group is made up of cab
bies unable to finance their way
back. The union funds for the ex-
pedition will be stretched in the
hope of getting all back home.
Matt Rottner, manager of the
cabbies, said they still hoped to get
an interview with President Tru-
man and will send a delegation
back later If date is set. The re-
quest is being made by letter at
the suggestion of White House
secretary, he said

Only 1% Of Votes Counted
BY The Associated Press

BUENOS AIRES, Feb. 28.-Col.
Juan D. Peron, Argentine strong
man, led in both popular and cleo
toral votes today as the count of
ballots In Sundays presidential
election moved into the third day
with the first big provinces ready
to start their tally.
Peron was ahead in three prov
inces with an electoral vote of 80,
while his opponent, DR.. Jose Tam
borini, led in two provinces having
20 electoral votes. One hundred
eighty nine electoral votes are need
ed to- win. The popular vote in
the five provinces stood at 20 800 for
Peron and 28,287 for Tamborini.
With slightly more than l per
cent Of the total vote counted,

votes, and Santa Fe Province, with

count today, as did Tucuman and
Corrientes Provinces, with 18 elec-

Political observers expressed sur

Labor Relations Act
And Case Bill Conflict,
NLRB Chairman SAYS
By the Associated Press

Senators were told today there is
"a definite clash between the 10
year-old National Labor Relations
Act and the Case strike-control bill
recently approved by the House.
Chairman Paul M. Herzog of the
National Labor Relations Board
told the Senate Labor Committee
that the legislation and the present
act "impinge upon one another only
at certain points, but where they
do the enactment of the proposed
(Case) bill may well lead to more
difficulties than it will solve"
Fred Bailey, legislative counsel
for the National Grange, urged Sem
ate approval and strengthening of
the Case bill. He said Federal pow
ers must be used to curb violence,
intimidation and boycotts in indus
trial disputes.
Sees Basic Aims Achieved.
Mr.. Herzog said the basic pur-
poses" of the Wagner Act which
set up the board now ARE being
achieved"
During 1945 the chairman said
almost 80 per cent of the boards
cases were informally adjusted in
the field" while charges of unfair
labor practices against employers
had dropped, from II per cent of
1887 cases to rs per cent last year.
Turning to specific provisions of
the Case bill, the NLRB head testi-
fed:
A clash existed over determina-
tion of jurisdictional disputes by
NLRB or proposed new mediation
board. This could make it easy for
employees or labor unions to shop
around among agencies in search
OF one that is most likely to support
their views"
Cities Foremen's Unions.
The Case bill would place super
visory employees" in a new class.
This could disturb industries where
foremen have been organized for
many years-such as the printing,
building and maritime trades"
The pending bill alters accepted
classiflcations on agricultural la<
Dor" and this can only lead to con-
fusion in any industry in which
many workers have joined unions
and depended upon the protection
Of the act"
Proposed remedies for violence and
boycott are both too drastic and
too rigid" Mr.. Herzog said this
will merely serve to revive the an
cient profession of the agent pro-
vocateur."

9 Months Extension
OF 'StreamIined' 0PA
Urged by Flanders !
By MokoIm Lomborne, Jr.

Ralph E. Flanders, chairman of
the Research Committee of the
Committee for Economic Develop
ment. today recommended that the
Price Control Act be extended for
nine months beyond June 80, but
that Congress make "streamlining"
amendments because business can
not live with price control in its
present form"
He told the House Banking Com
mittee that all price controls, ex-
cept those over rents, should END
by March 81, 1947.
The New England industrialist
who also is president of the Fed
eral Reserve Bank of Boston, de-
clared.
II do not think that business can
live with price controls in its present
form for another year. We must
modify it SO that it can live and
be nyed with. 1t should be lib
eralized and streamlined to reduce
delays, inequities and obstacles to
production"
Four Changes Suggested.
Mr.. Flanders suggested four
changes: Cd A system of self
pricing, subject to OPA review and
veto; (2) base prices on actual costs,
not forecasts; CD seek out vigorously
and positively the areas in which
ceilings may be suspended; "a raise
the standards for price relief to pre-
vent profit squeezes which deter pro-
duction and discriminate against
enterprise.
, He predicted that the new stibili-
zation order recently announced by
President Truman would result 'in
greatly increased number of appli-.
cations for price adjustments, thus
materially increasing delay" of busi-
ness operations.
Meanwhile, the OPA and Civilian
Production Administration faced the
prospect of curtailing operations for
the next four months following Sem
ate action yesterday cutting funds
for the two key control agencies.
CPA felt the first slash. The vote
was A to 80, and overrode an ad-
plea that it would
cripple" the national housing pro-
gram. Then, by a 45-to-25 roll call.
the Senate did the same thing to

The reduction in the two agencies
funds amounted to $1,677,000.

Killion Mentioned Figure.
Mr.. Patterson testified that Mr..
Killion, who telephoned him first,
mentioned the $4,000 figure and
suggested he select several asso-
ciates to contribute $4,000 each. "
Mr.. Pauley came on the line later
and, according to Mr.. Patterson's s
testimony, suggested that he should
think this over twice before making
your decision"
Under questioning by Senator
Tydings, Mr.. Patterson said, II can
not say Mr.. Pauley made any pro-
posal direct to me that was i'm
proper"
Mr.. Patterson said he told Mr.. Kill
lion sit was impossible to expecg
my subordinates who were receiving
less income than I to make con-
tribution that I couldn't make"
He said Mr.. Killion's response to
this was:
Didn't Ahrens tell you that we
would send some one from our New
York headquarters to show you how
to handle this?"
In a prepared statement, Mr. Pat
terson told the committee be believed
the proposal made to him would
have been violation of law. Mr..
Patterson said Mr.. Killion first con-
tacted Mr.. Ahrens and later tele-
phoned him. After they had talked
for awhile, Mr.. Killion turned the
telephone over to Mr.. Pauley. After
telling of Mr.. Pauley's think twice"
remark, Mr.. Patterson said his an
swer to that was, II could not think
twice when 1t concerned an absolute
violation of the law"
Asked by Senator Brewster If
United had any airline applications
pending before the Civil Aeronautics
Board at that time in 1914, Mr.
Patterson said there were several

Recommendation Reversed.
Senator Brewster then brought
out that about a week after Mr..
Pattersen's refusal to contribute to
the campaign fund, the Civil Aero
nautics Board reversed the favorable
recommendation of the examiner.
II had no thought then, and have
none now, that it was a political
decision" said Mr.. Patterson, add
ing that the board is made up OF
Democrats and Republicans. The
witness said he could not say the
decision was the result of his re-
fusal to contribute, but said he did
worry about the effect the incident
might have on his company.
Mr.. Patterson testified he made
only one campaign contribution in
1914, of $500 to the Republicans.
Senator Magnuson, Democrat, OF
Washington said he thought an in
ference had been left in the record
that there was some connection be-
tween Mr.. Pattersons refusal to
contribute to the Democrats, and
the CAB rejection of the airline
application.
Mr.. Patterson said he had no
personal knowledge that any CAB
decisions have been political. He
said he thought, however, that Mr..
Ahrens would testify that Mr.. Kill
lion made a remark to him that a
government is made up of people.

wife, Tor if you do, you will only
make a bad matter worse.
You arc concerned because your
friend doesn't go about bewailine
her husbands unfaithfulness, and
you think she doesn't know about
it. Don't you know that she is per-
fectly aware of it and that her pre-
tended ignorance is just bluff to
save her face? She will hate you
to her dying day if you tear away
the pitiful little veil that her pride
has woven and behind which she
hides her sorrow and shame at be-
ing neglected wife.
Then, have you thought of this
view of the situation: That no doubt
this woman has thought the matter
over carefully and has decided that
her beautiful home, plenty of money
and the comforts of life, and her
assured social position are worth
more to her than a divorce decree.
Evidently her husband doesn't de-
sire a divorce. He is content to have
his little affair on the outside and
his attractive and dignified wife to
be the mistress of his home and ap-
pear in public with him.
And it may be that this woman
loves her husband so much that she
would rather have part of his time
and attention than to be separated
from him entirely. Divorce is not
panacea for q wounded heart,
Nor does every woman who has had
an unfaithful husband yearn to try
