.MRB Services :! Not Available To
 Communists

WASHINGTON, P)-CIO local unions were told yesterday that national labor relations board ser vices will be barred to them une less every member of the 5l-man CIO executive board swears he is not Communist.
 Similarly, no AFL union can pe- tition for a collective bargaining election or bring an unfair labor practice charge against an em- ployer unless each of the Is mem bers of the federation's executive council files a Communist af- fidavit.'
 Robert N. Denham, NLRB gen eral counsel, handed down this de- cision as he issued the affidavit forms required under terms of the Taft-Hartley labor law which goes into full effect Friday.
 The forms, Denham told report CTS, must be signed "by all AFL and CIO international and local officers" if those organizations want to use the board and its fa- cilities.
 "The chain must be complete, from the top down." the NLRB general counsel declared.
 In the case of the CIO, one mem- Der of the executive board is Self-avoWed Communist. He is Ben Gold of New York, president of the United fur and leather workers union.
 When told of this by reporters, Gold said only, "the alternatives, if there are any, are obvious"
 As for the AFL, there have been reports that John L. Lewis, al though vigorous anti-Commun ist, might withhold his affidavit as matter of principle. As presi dent of the united mine workers and an AFL vice-president, Lewis is a link in the AF'L chain.
 Although several of the larger CIO unions have indicated they plan to Snub the reorganized NLRB, many of the others have reached no policy decision on this issue or on the Hartley act itself. There are 40 CIO unions.

Another Fabulous Falkenbur@
BY n. MAGRUDER DOBIE

He was just ''Jinx's brother"
for long time, but Bob is
blazing his own trail these
days with cannonball serve
A FEW years ago, a tall, handsome kid from
IA Hollywood, who looked more like a
movie star than tennis player. arrived in
New York for the national singles champion
ships. An ardent movie fan, he made his way
to Broadway, took in one double feature after
another When the last midnight show was
over. he found himself standing in the rain
in Times Square, with no place to 60 but the
tennis club. He asked newsboy for direc-
tons t0 Forest Hills.
Say, amt you Bob Falkenburg?" asked
the newsboy.
Bob has never forgotten that night. He had
just played in tournament with his left arm
(broken in horseback accident) in cast,
and newspapers had used his picture. 1t was
the first time he had ever been identified
as anything but ''Jinx's brother"
Jinx Falkenburg is now settled in New
York with husband and radio show. But
Bob, at the tender age of 2l, is still footloose.
He and his 19-year- old Brazilian bride have
been honeymooning in Europe while he

played the Continental tournament circuit.
Bob was seeded eighth at Wimbledon,
played into the quarter-final round. No one
expected him to win. but no one was more
exciting to the crowds. They gladly paid to
see this six-foot-three youngster with the
long arms and legs lean into cannonball
serve, storm the net for sharp volleys, and
execute an overhead smash that sent the ball
bouncing into the grandstands. Falkenburg
needs sounder ground strokes if he is to sue
ceed Jack Kramer on the tennis throne. But
for the time being he is satisfied to be the
next champion Life is full and exciting.
intercollegiate Champ
Nor so many months ago, Bob was Just
another student at the University of Southern
California, his chief claim to fame being that
he played tennis with Enrol Flynn, Paulette
Goddard, Walter Pidgeon, Jack Warner and
Mickey Rooney. Then, in 1916, he won the
intercollegiate championship, came east for
the fashionable grass-court tournaments, and
in the national singles advanced to the semi
finals before being eliminated by Jack Kramer,
national champ
Shortly thereafter, Falkenburg was invited
to Mexico for the Pan-An,erican matches.
After winning the doubles with Frank Parker
and interviewing a bullfghter for Jmx's radio

he perfected his back-court game.
Why not tell that to Bob?" Jinx said.
And cut my own throat?" Kramer replied.

Bob is quite aware that tennis is RESPONSE

bic for the exciting international world IN
which he now moves. What surprises him is
that he, of all the tennis playing Falkenburgs,
should be the one that's having the fun.
His mother introduced the sport into the
family. While her husband was on an engi-
neering job in Brazil, she won the Brazilian
championship. The family seldom remained
long IN one spot. Jinx was born IN Spain,
Tom in Chile, Bob in New York City. As
soon as they could lift tennis racket the
kids were let loose on court When the fam
lily finally settled in Hollywood, Jinx was the
first to show promise. As junior, she ranked
third in the state and came within one point
Of beating Pauline Betz. But talent scouts
persuaded her there was more future in movies.
Studio Winner
WHEN they were still in their early teens,
Tom and Bob got bit parts in the movie,
kidnapped" In the finals of the studio
tennis tournament. they endangered their
acting careers by defeating Enrol Flynn and
his doubles partner.
Movie stars soon found it advantageous to
have one of the Falkenburgs for partner.
particularly when the side bets were heavy.
Bob also frequently teamed up with
his father, q big man with a terrific serve
and NO respect for a tennis ball, in father
and-son tournaments. Sport writers re-
marked that with stronger serve and net
game. the boy might 60 places.
Bob was eighth in the 1916 national rank
ing, but experts regard him as one Of the most
promising of the younger players. He still
plays as if the object is to knock the cover
off the ball. He has the most powerful serve
in tennis and terrific overhead smash. An
Argentine player who got in the way of one
of Bob's smashes was bruised for weeks.
Sidney Wood, one of the great tennis styi-
lists, has coached Bob for several years, says:
"As soon as he concentrates on improving
his ground strokes 50 he doesn't have to i'm
provise, he'll be hard to beat"
FAIKENBURG, who has beaten most of the
top players at one time or another. is open to
suggestions. But he points out that he won
the intercollegiate title, the national doubles
with Don McNeill in 1944) and went to the
semi-finals of the national singles with moth
ing but his explosive serve and net game.
Johnny Doeg went to the top with no more
equipment.
Bob would make popular champion. He
has never had much money, but among the
players is known as an
easy touch for loan.

players IS known as an
easy touch for a loan.
He never goes in for
displays of tempera-
ment, has a weakness
for midnight poker ses-
sions. He also has a
tendency to loaf
through the easy
matches. with the re-
suit that he has won
and lost more fve-set
matches than any
other ranking player.
He's at his best when
the going is toughest.
His friend Jack
Kramer was recently a
guest on Jinx's radio
program. In response
to a question, Kramer
predicted that Falken-

tournament, IN which
he was the main at
traction, Bob wrenched
his back, had to de-
fault. The Brazilians
accused him of quitting
because of lack of in
terest in the $500 watch
offered as first prize.
This was bunk. Bob
not only wanted the
watch, but he was anx-
ious to show Senorita
Machado how tennis
should be played. At
first she shared the feel
ings of her fellow coun-
trymen. But Bob is a
persuasive talker. Some
months later she fol-
