WAGNER A(T DEFENDED BY
 HIS AUTHOR
Is Opposed 10 Compulsory Arbitration = Means
 "Redliiondry Era

WASHINGTON, Jan 4-The au- thor of the Wagner Act struck back at it's critics today with an assertion that "anti-labor propos- als in the new Congress theaten a "reactionary era
 Instead of tearing into the law he sponsored in 1885, Senator Wag- ner tD-NY) said, Congress should ease management-la labor relations by creating three man Federal med iaticn board with more funds and manpcwer than the present U. S conciliation service. Ant:-strike legislation, he declar- ed in a statement, "multiplies Gov ernment sanctions and prohibitions. and depriyes either management CT labor of hard-won economic freedom. Y"
 He said he is "unalterahly op- posed to compulsory arbitration in any guise.
 Big Fight Looms
 It was obvious today, however, that the Wagner Act is going to take a pounding from those in the Republican, dominated Congress who want to change it.
 Senator Taft tR-Ohio), who will be chairman of the Senate Labor Committee, agrees with Wagner that there should be no anti-strike laws of compulsory arbitration, but demands changes in the Act to "equalize" protection of unions and employers.
 Rep Hartley tR-NJD, chairman of the House Labor Committee, said emphatically to reporter today the law must be revised. That Wagner Act
 The Wagner Act-officially the National Labor Relations Act encourages workers b) organize, gives them freedom to bargain through representative of their own choosing. and empowers the  National Lacur Relations Board to stop employers from engaging in unfair labor practices
 Taft, Hartley. and other Republi- can leaders, as well as Democrats like Rep. Howard Smith CD-VaD say they want to keep collective bargaining hut that unions now nave the advantage. Unions deny this.
 Wagner contended the Act has largely eliminated industrial strife over union recognition, discrimina- tion and collective bargaining, with its attendant bitterness and vio- lencep
 He said the Bureau of Labor Statistics has found that those is sues caused less than four per cent of the time lost in important strikes during the l2 months following the end of the war.
 Disputes over wages, hours. and other working conditions caused almost 90 per cent of the idleness, Wagner said.

Big Fighf In Senate
 On BiIbo

WASHINGTON. Jan. 4-Republi- cans vowed today to hold the Sem ate ill practically continuous ses- sion, from now on, until they win their fight against Senator Theo- dore G. Bilbo and get the Senate organized.
 They said they would not even receive President Truman's Annual Message age-Scheduled for Monday de- livery-until the issue is settled. It looked like it might take a long time to break the filibuster by Bilbos Southern Democratic sup porters.
 One Of Bilbo's chief defenders, Sen. Allen J. Ellender, D, La, took the Senate floor early in the aft ernoon, and his colleagues said he was prepared to speak for five hours.
 If the Bilbo forces prove too durable to wear down by continu- ous session, then the Republicans may try to adopt a gag rule to limit debate That requires a two thirds vote and rarely has been done.
 The Senate Republicans reached their showdown decision in par ty conference. Then they went onto the Senate floor to begin to carry it out.
 The Republicans and some North ern Democrats are determined to prevent Bilbo from being seated as a Senator from Mississippi.

WASHINGTON = When Joseph William Martin Jr., was 21 years old he faced three way decision between a career in politics, news papering or professional baseball He had been star shortstop on the North Attleboro semi-pro team and had begun a career on the North Attleboro Chronicle In the end, however, he chose politics When this decision was announced to his father, the elder Martin advised:
 You'll be better off Joe, if you stick to newspapering. Politics is dirty business
 Joe Martin, however, spurned parental advice, stuck to politics and today becomes the first Repub- lican Speaker of the House of Representatives since the fabulous almost forgotten days of Nick Long, worth.
 As such, Joe Martin will be a popular, unspectacular, common sense leader of the Republican ma jority. Joe has his feet firmly grounded in the basic caution of his party, but his eyes are not riveted wholly on the past. He does not believe in making fetish out of tradition merely for tra- dition's sake; he recognizes the necessity of making concessions to changing times.

The monthly staff meeting oi the Alaska Native Service held yester- day in Superintendent Don Fosters office was attended by 25 ANS Di- vision heads and key personnel The two hour session was under the joint direction of Dr George A. Dale, Director of Education, and Dr. Evelyn I. Butler, Supervis- or of Social Welfare. These month ly programs are prepared for the purpose of consolidating all division efforts and plans into one clearing house oi smooth coordination. Plans problems, and the varied projects of each are discussed to tie all objectives into a common goal.
 Foster opened the meeting with an overview interpretation of gen. eral plans for the new year with emphasis on the need for early action on budget preparation.
 pr. Butler told the members that, during the past year, the ANS had recognized child welfare as the most important part of the pro gram and had spent half of the entire ANS appropriation for the care and maintenance of some 351 native children throughout the Territory of Alaska. Ninety-nine of these children were cared for in foster homes and the rest housed in institutions
 Under the Mothers Allowance program 239 mothers and 697 child ren were provided assistance in their homes, pr. Butler stated, and under the General Assistance pro- gram, aid was given to I'll dis abled adults

 Dr. Dale stressed the need for providing instrumental material within the schools to prepare children for their future roles in each individual type of community. He explained that education must gear it's philosophy and activities to meet or parallel the social and economic situation oI the communi- ty.
 Prejudice and passionate opposi- tion to change, resists educational procedure in many localities, said Dr. Butler, and many of the older generation are reluctant to accept new educational methods The Di- rector of Education pointed out that the school itself can improve the conditions of any community by adapting programs suitable to the needs of the people.
