 Driscon Leads Fight
 Under the resolution, which was backed by all other Waterbury loc- als, referendum would have been held among the rank and file to de- eide on whether or not known or admitted Communists should be barred from holding union office The fight for the referendum was led by John J. Driscoll, Connecticut CI.O. Secretary, who declared un- ion officials who used their positions to further the interests of the Con- munist Party were not serving the cause of unionism. Such actions he said, have "demoralizing and de- trimental" effect.
 Driscoll called on the convention delegates to practice your preach ings of rank and file democracy" by giving the proposed constitution al amendment to the membership for a vote.
 The majority report of the conSti- tuition committee opposed the pro- poSal on the ground that it was contrary to the principles of dem- ocracy and equality on which our union is founded" The report said that such action would result in constant division and discord."
 Session Transferred
 Driscoll made his plea for the ref erendum in the form of minority report of the constitution commit tee.
 The debate on Communism lasted so long that the session had to be transferred from the Hotel Hollen-

 THE NLRB has set up a bargain ing unit of chain store managers composed of the managers of A. & P. stores within a radius of 25 miles of one city.
 Importance of this decision lies in the fact that even though man. agers have authority to hire and fire, exercise authority with respect to labor relations, and have a voice in the formulation of company policies and methods of operation. the NLRB finds them to be outside the nationwide heirarchy'' of top management, and thus eligible to have a bargaining unit of their own.

AFL Lauds US. Aid To German Unions
WASHINGTON HPA>

WASHINGTON (LPA) - The official encouragement and active assistance of U. s. occupation au- thOrities in Germany to the reborn German trade union movement was hailed by AFL President William Green this week.
 Green made public copies of letters to the AFL from Under Secretary of State Dean Acheson and from Lieut.. Gen. Lucius D. Clay, Deputy Military Governor of the U. S.-occupied zone in Germany.
 U. s. Support Assured
 Surplus property still held by the U. s. in Germany may be made avail able to the reconstituted union move ment, Acheson wrote to Green. He asserted that "The Department has consistently subscribed to and active ly supported the policy of encouraging the formation of democratic trade unions in Germany"
 Gen. Clay sent the AFL a report that German union leaders in the U. s. zone ''have expressed sincere gratitude for the encouragement and cooperation which they are re- ceiving in pursuing their daily ac- tivities." He reported that, wher- ever possible, the properties taken from the pre-Hitler unions by the Nazi Labor Front have been re- stored, and that union organizers have been aided in obtaining autos, tires and gasoline.
