Gov. Warren Is COP Candidate For President

SACRAMENTO, (P)-Governor Earl Warren, only chief executive of California ever to be elected as the nominee of both the Republi- can and Democratic parties, was a candidate for the Republican nom ination for President today.
 Warren entered the race with only two reservations. He will not make an active personal campaign and he will not seek delegates in other states.
 Under the circumstances, he told a press conference yesterday, he is willing to have his name presented by the California delegation at the Republican convention as candi- date. Further, he told news men, he hopes the California voters will approve the delegation pledged to him.
 Nobody in authority, he said, has proposed to him that he take a second place on the ballot and he "Would not be interested" in the vice presidential nomination if it were rendered.
 Warren's decision had been fore cast except that some of his close associates believed he would not so quickly make up his mind on the question of permitting his name to be entered in the PreSi- dential primaries of other states
 When he made his announce ment however, he had resolved this question and reached a deci- sion not to compete in other pri-

Nobel Award Goes To French Author

STOCKHOLM CP)-The French author Andre Glide received the Nobel prize in literature yesterday.
 The Nobel prize awards for physics and chemistry were to be announced last night.
 Glide, bald and bespectacled and a lifelong bachelor, announced early in the l93O's that he had be come a communist. His enthusiasm for communism was at a peak from 1883 to 1886. He visited Mos cow in 1886 when the purge trials were on, and returned to Paris to write a book of bitter diSl'lusion- ment, "Retour de IU. R. s. S." The communist criticism caused Gide to write more of the same story of his disillusionment with Josef Stj.- lin'S Soviet Union.
 The book was "Retoucnes A Mon Retour de IU. R. S. S. Many French intellectuals joined Clde

 Warren declined to elaborate his reasons but associates said his de cision was based upon the belief his best prospects of obtaining the nomination rested on the chance he might emerge as the compro- mise candidate-aS a result of a deadlock in the convention ballot ing-and that this possibility would be enhanced if he had not antagonized other candidates by competing with them in their own states.
 A resolution adopted by the Re publican state central committee declared Warren possesses "all at tributes which command respect and confidence, and is eminently fitted in character and accomplish ment, in experience and capacity to fill the high office of President"

the new law?
A. All union security provi-

ration of the contract, whether
the form of security be the

When these contracts expire,
these provisions will have to

All union security provisions
in contracts entered into be-

agreed.
1t was widely predicted here
and in Washington that many
unions would give up the practice
of utilizing the offices of the board
in organizing and bargaining.
Many labor leaders feel they must
organize as of old and utilize their
economic strength to win union
security.
THE AMENDMENTS to the Ma
tional Labor Relations Act (Wag-
ner AcD do not become effective
until August %.
Several other provisions are eff
fective this week. They include:
l. The President has authority
TO obtain injunctions in strikes.
z. Suits may be filed against
unions in federal courts.
3. Judisdicfional disputes and
secondary boYcotts are prohibit
ed under the law.
4. Political contributions to
candidates from union treasures
are outlawed as they were un-
der the expiring Smith -ConnaliY
act.
5. Government employees are
deprived of their right 10 strike.
EVERY authority, including the
President, predicted there would
be wholesale violations and thou
sands of court tests jamming the
dockets all the way to the SUI
preme Court.
1t is known that many top labor
attorneys in all sections of the
labor movement and throughout
the country have advised union
officials to circumvent the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board on
most issues.
In the meantime, AFL, CLIO and
railroad brotherhoods geared up
their legal machinery for court
actions, but warned against COM
plete dependence on legalistic
measures. CLIO lawyers met from
all over the nation last week.
AL lawyers did the same this
week.
LABOR editors throughout the
nation announced they would ex-
ercise their freedom to report the
records of politicians and to COM
ment on candidates in spite of
sections of the law which have
been interpreted both by the legal
experts and by Author Taft as
forbidding that practice.
Prohibitions are included against
union political activity so far as
expenditures and contributions"
in federal primaries as well as
central elections. Prohibitions do
not limit voluntary collections in
unions like the well-known 81
PAC.
There is no requirement for
strike notices as such under the
new law, but so days notice must
be given by either union or man

a good idea to redesign it as a
precautionary measure against

If you'd like to preserve eggs

If you carry stamps in your
