Nothing much will be proved by another match between CrazianO and Zale. About everybody now agrees that Rocky will beat him again, and faster this time. I'm not too sure of that but I'll go along on it.
 The test is obvious enough. Put Craziano in with LaMott and Ger dan. If he beats them there can be no doubt he's the champ. Until then he'll be the official titleholder, which isn't bad thing to be, but it will end there.
 When Graziano, LaMotta and Ger dan have cleared that up, and there is one of them on the peak, in solitary splendor, have one further sugges- ton. Put that one in with Ray Robin son, and then there will be no doubt whatsoever.
 My pick would have to be Robinson.

 Henrich in right is very able play CT, DiMag is himself again, Lindell is doing decent job filling in for Keller. But this all doesn't seem to add up to the runaway the Yankees have been making of the race.
 The answer lies in two factors, one the sudden blending of the Yankees into cant-lose team, for whatever reasons that happened, and the other the decline of the

WASHINGTON :

Along with Germany, China and
South America, Palestine was one
of the topics of discussion by
President Truman with his new
Secretary Of State, General George
G. Marshall, at their first reg
uIar semi-weekly meeting after
the Secretary's swearing-in.
Official circles here were in
terested in the unanimity with
which leading American news
papers expressed lack of hope for
any constructive outcome of the
London Conference on Palestine,
even before the conference start
ed. Whether the London CORES
pondents Of the papers were fed
the idea from government sources,
or had figured it out themselves
from talks with Arab and Jewish
representatives, is not known. Pos
sibly, persons concerned with the
question painted the picture in
it's darkest colors. Then, if even
some slight achievement is marked
up it will be more than was an
ticipated.
If General Eisenhower had re-
manned in Germany, he would have
asked for an even. larger Occu-
patton force than the present one.
Talking, as he put it, straight
from the shoulder and from the
hip, the General told the WOmen's
National Press Club that Occu-
patton is the most pressing of our
immediate postwar policies.
Those displaced persons in Ger
many and Austria who would like
to leave the occupied areas and
build a new life, in Palestine or
the United States, are still with
out any assurance as to the when
or how of it.
The draft of q law has been
approved by the Office of Military
Government in Berlin providing for
the use of heirless property to
resettle and rehabiIitate displaced
persons. 1t further provides for an
International trustee body, which
would include representatives of
the Jewish Agency for Palestine
and the Joint Distribution Com
mlttee. The law must now be
submitted to the German govern
ment bodies in the American
Zones.
In a surprise move, President
Truman recently asked Attorney
General Tom Clark to look into
possible uses, by displaced persons,
OF unclaimed property in our zone
OF Germany. At this juncture,
1t is not quite clear how the At
torney General fits into a prob
lem which has been the concern
OF the Secretaries of State and
of War.

DoehIer Votes
On New Contract

E m ployes of the Doehler-
Jarvis Corporation, members of
Local 7O6, MMSW-CIO voted
yesterday afternoon on the new
contract with the corporation.
Results of the vote were not in

to press, but members of the
union had expressed the belief
that the new pact would be
accepted.
Included in the new contract
will be increased wages amount
ing to 12-cents and six paid
holidays. Inequalities in pay
were wiped out by the company
agreeing to raise the wages of
their employees in Pottstown,

Ignore NLRB
is Plan Of
Most Unions

WASHINGTON, July 16-
(LPA) - If the present trend
continues, the Natl Labor Re
lations Board under the Taft
Hartley law will probably
find itself ignored by all but a
tiny handful of unions and en-
ployers.
First major indications that
the NLRB would be by-passed
by organized labor came when
the AFL announced that its af-
filiates would probably not COM
ply with the requirement that
all union officers must file
sworn affidavits that they are
not members of the Communist
Party or sympathizers. The
United Steel Workers-C -CIO set
the pattern for the rest of the
CIO when it disclosed that it
would bypass the NLRB for
the same reasons.
The most extreme position,
however, was taken by the Int'l
Typographical u n n AFL
which announced "It does not
appear at this time that we will
want any collective bargaining
agreements under the new law"
This was clearly taken to mean
that if an employer attempted
to modify any of the TITUS ira
ditional union shop conditions
he would simply find himself
without employees, and typos in
practically every city in the
country are impossible to OBJ
tain except through the union.
In addition to the Steelwork-
ers, other CIO unions that have
already determined to ignore
the NLRB include the Electrical
Workers, Office Workers and
Furniture Workers.

Trumen Will
Veto Tex Act

w A S H I N g T 0 N, July
IS (LPA)-Pgesident Truman
last week rocked the Republic
can machine in Congress back
on its heels when he announced
that he would again veto the
COP rob-the-poor tax bill which
was steamrolled through the
House for a second time on July
by a 302 to 112 vote.
Republican Senators Miliken
(Col.) and Wherry (Neb.) i'm
mediately howled that it was
an "impropriety" for Truman
to veto a bill that had not yet
reached his desk. However. the
bill contained only one minor
change from the measure vetoed
by Truman last month - it
shifted the effective date frOm
July to next Jan. l.
Truman's announcement may
have killed all hopes of the
COP to get its bill through with
out postponing the July 26th adj
journment date. Although the
Senate Finance Committee
voted 10 to three in favor of the
''new" bill, it was obvious that
pro Administration Senators
could continue debate so as to
compel the Republicans either
to abandon their July 26 adjorn-
ment date or the legislation it,
self.

Tof+ and Hartley
Bottle Over Law

w A S H N G. T o N, July
16 OPA)-The new Taft-Hart-
ley law took on all the elements
of high comedy last week when
its two authors, Sen. Robert
Taft (R., Ohio) and Rep. Fred
Hartley (R., N. J.), violently
contradicted each other on what
the law really means.
Labor lawyers, who predicted
from the beginning that the bill
was drawn so vaguely that the
courts would have difficulty in
interpreting it, were gleeful as
Taft and hartley met head on
after John l.. Lewis signed the
new coal contract.
Hartley charged on the floor
of the House OF Representatives
on July 8, the day after the con-
tract was signed, that the pro-
vision in the UNIV agreement
for checkoff of initiation fees
and assessments made every
coal operator signing the pact
criminally liable for fines up to
$4,000 and Imprisonment up to
one year.
Said Taft: Il don't think it is
violation of the law. / don t
agree that the bill tries to say
wnat kind of contract should be
made" And as if to give Hart
ley an extra kick in the teeth,
Taft said, Il don't know any
provision of the bill that the
(UMW) contract tries to get
around. There are many things
in the contract that show a dl-
rect effort to comply with the
law"
But Hartley told Congress:
"In my opinion, this agreement
clearly reflects colluslon be-
tween the mine operators and
the United Mine Workers with
the intention of violating the
law"
The big question now, accord
ing to labor lawyers, is whose
law is it-Hartley's or TaftS
And which one is being violated
if a union does what?

ers a full voice and vote in the
fall convention.
One of the principal ob1ec-
tions held by many who voted
against the proposal was the
lack Of knowledge of the finan-
cial condition of the FE-CIO
union. No report of auditors
was made to the UAW member
ship. This, coupled with the
plan to assume the assets and
liabilities of the smaller union
influenced many to vote against
the plan.
A second serious point of dis
agreement with the UAW board
majority plan was the proposal
to elect a board member from
the FE union and to retain the
present union staff as it now
exists. Directors to this phase
of the proposal pointed out that
the various departmental heads
in the UAW-CIO were appoint
ed to their posts and not elected
to them. 1t was felt that to per
NIT FE to retain such an ar
rangement in the union would
be to create a union with a
union and be unfair and un-
democratic.

Congress Sets
Union Probes

/ ; WASHINGTON, July l6
| (LPA)-An investigation into
alleged Communist infiltration
into two CIO unions was sched'
uled to start next week by the
House Un-American Activities
Committee.
Chairman J. Parnell Thomas,
announcing that the hearings
would be held in New York
City, beginning July Fl, said
that the Committee would in
quire into charges that the
United Electrical Workers-ClO
and the Winston Salem, N. C.,
local of the Food, Tobacco q
Agricultural Workers-CIO have
been strongly influenced by
Communists.
A second Congressional IN
ouiry, this one into union prac-
tices in the food and produce
field, was slated by a House
Labor Subcommittee headed by
Rep. Wint Smith (R., KanJ
Union officials, produce dealers
and farmers were subpoenaed
for these hearings which were
scheduled for this week In New
York.
Smith said his subcommittee
was Cooking into whether
farmers have to pay union dues
to haul their produce to the
markets or whether they are
prevented from unloading
trucks until they do join a
union. We also want to see
what effect five-day week for
markets has on food prices.

Largest vote against the

JAW Says
No To FE
} Merging

DETROIT, July 16 Especially
With about so per cent of the
UAW-CIO Local unions report
ing the results of their referen-
dun on the FE merger proposal
made by the International Un-
ions executive board majority,
the measure was apparently de-
feated by a better than tWo-to-
one majority, it was revealed
here today by International un-
ion officials.
Overwhelming defeat of the
proposal was believed due in
part TO the change in the posi-
ton of the board majority which
just a few days ago called the
proposal an interim" measure.
The proposition originally was
to be binding upon the UAW.
The general sentiment through.
out Auto Workers Locals
vas that the FE should be ad.
mitted, but under the UAW Con-
Stitution and without the spe-
cial privileges that the board
majority sought to give its Off
GERS and members.
Opposition of the board minor
ity, the so-called right wing
group, was based upon their con-
tention that the proposal was un'
constitutional and would create
a union within a union.
Further exploration of ways
and means to admit the FE-CIO
TO membership in the Automo-
bile Workers will probably be
part of the UAW-CIO conven-
ton agenda when it meets in
Atlantic City in November, ac-
cording TO observers here.
