NLRB TOJUNK DENHAM
COMMUNIST AFFIDAVIT
RULES PREDICTION

Washington (LPA) - Labor
lawyers predicted confidently here
last week that the five-man Natl
Labor Relations Board would over
rule its general counsel, Robert
Denham, who has placed the Board
in an embarrassing position by in
sisting that no affiliate of the AFL
or CIO may have any status before
the Board unless top AFL and CIO
officers sign the Taft Hartley anti
Communist affidavits.
There was belief that the vote
might even go as high as four to
one against Denham whose ruling
has been characterized by Con-
gressmen as SILLY" and "unconsti-
tutional." Denham's arbitrary in
depreciation of the law, which Sen.
Robert Taft (R., Ohio) questioned,
threatened to leave the greatly ex-
panded NLRB with practically no
business except that of a handful
Of independent unions. Refusal of
the AFL executive council and the
ClO executive board to surrender
to Denham's stubborn insistence on
his own reading of the law depriv-
ed the Board of the freat bulk of
the work that would normally come
its way.
Expected to vote against Denham
were Chairman Paul Herzog and
Members John M. Houston, Abe

New r emf Boost
Wove Moy Hinge
On Kentucky Cose

Washington-LPA) - Housing
Expediter Frank Creedon is being
urged to turn down the first rec-
ommendation presented to him for
rent boosts under the new rent
control law. The Louisville, Ky.
rent control board has proposed a
51o general rent increase in that
city.
Local labor and civic groups are
protesting to Creedon first, that
the board is packed with landlord
interests, and second that no open
hearings were held in the Kentucky
city before the $50 boost was rec
commended.
Two real estate brokers, one
banker who belongs to the local
real estate board, and two lawyers
who are accused of working close
ly with landlord interests, make
up the Louisville board.
Labor officials urged local union
lists to pay special attention to the
local rent control boards, to see
that it isn't packed" with land
lords stooges, and to demand full
hearings on proposed decontrols or
rent boosts. Both Sen. C. Douglass
Buck (R., DELI who steered the
present rent control law thru con-
gress, and Sen. John j. Sparkman
3D., Ala.), Democratic whip, last
week predicted that the law would
be extended beyond it's present ex-
piration date of Feb 20, 1913.
Rent increases have also been
proposed by local boards for parts
of New Mexico and Kansas now
under rent controls; however, two
other boards-in Charleston, w.
Va, and Newcastle, Ind. - have
urged that their home areas remain
under controls.
CIO President Philip Murray
wired Creedon last week that 'I
urge you to disapprove the Louis
vile boards recommendation for a
general rent increase in that area
and any further such recommends
tion unless and until board that
is representative of all the citi-
zens, including tenants as well as
landlords, has been appointed and
has held public hearings on any
proposal for increasing rents"
A demand that Creedon make
public all proposals for rent in
creases put forward by local boards
was made last week by President
Harvey w. Brown of the IntI AS
of Maehinists-unaffiliat-
ed. He also urged Creedon to hold
full and fair hearings of tenant
and labor groups in the community
as well as business and real estate
before reaching
decision on what is in the public
interest.

Probably voting to sustain Denham
will be J. Copeland Gray, acknowl-
edged as the industry member

Fast action to overrule Denham
could take the Board out of the spot
in which his action put it, labor
lawyers pointed out. Both the AFL
and CIO conventions would have
time to shape a new policy in re-
gard TO the anti-Iabor law.

was scheduled TO act was brought

Comment On
World Events

The General Assembly of the
United Nations opened it's second
regular session Sept. 16 at Flush
ing Meadows, Long Island, with
Representatives form 55 nations.
Many vexing problems face discus
sion and solution.
The General Assembly is truly a
democratic body. No nation-large
or small-has more than one vote
irrespective of size or population.
While it's powers are limited, it
nevertheless wields a tremendous
influence on public opinion which
no nation can afford to ignore.
Some of us are disappointed in
and impatient with the United Ma
tions because it has not solved, in
the two years of it's existence, all
the problems that have arisen in
the aftermath of the war. We for
get what it means for so odd ma
tions with different outlooks and
modes of life, and speaking differ
ent languages, to fashion the in
struments of lasting peace. 1t is
we'll to weigh the progress that has
been made, SO far. First, it was
necessary to set up the structure
of the United Uations, to develop
international rules on procedure
and to iron out and reconcile pro-
found, conflicting national differ
ences. This is continuing process.
True, progress is slow but when
we remember that it took our
founding fathers-members of the
Constitutional Assembly two
years to agree on the articles of
the u. S. Constitution and many
additional years thereafter to Sc
cure it's ratification and adoption
by all the 13 colonies-then we can
appreciate the forward strides made
by the United Nations.
We dare not falter nor relax in
our wholehearted support of the
United Uations. The ordinary citi-
zen needs "deepened understand
ing of the purposes, the accomp-
lishments and the difficulties of
the United Nations and a more
understanding determination :.
to make it succeed" said Secretary
of State Marshall in his speech to
the American Association for the
United Nations and cooperating
groups Sept. Ia.
Time, great forbearance, and a
willingness to compromise will be
necessary to achieve the purposes
of the Charter, and the duty of
each one of us toward helping to
achieve these purposes is to follow
the proceedings of the General AS
sembly now in session and, with
full appreciation of the enormity
of the problems involved give in
telligent support to efforts toward
their solution. Unless the hopes
and aspiration of the people of the
world for collective security are
achieved it will avail US little to |
be the richest country in the world. !
Chat Paterson, national chairman
of the American Veterans Commit
tee (AVC), has announced the op-
pointment of an AVG committee to

Law SnorIing Up
Lubor Relations

Washingon-(LPA A survey
of trade publications and recent
speeches by industrial relations ex-
perts this week verified earlier pre-
dictions by labor lawyers that en-
ployers would come to regret their
unreasoning support of the Taft
Hartley law.
Management representatives in
many sections of the country have
emphasized two Of the many dilem-
mas in which an employer can find
himself as the result Of representa-
tion disputes alone. For example,
if an employer has only one union
in his plant and the union has fail
ed to comply with the Taft-Hartley
requirements of anti-Communist af-
fidavits and financial reports he
has no obligation to deal with that
union. Even if he should wish an
NLRB election to ascertain wheth-
er the union represents majority
of his employees, the non-complying
union may not appear on any MI
RIB ballot.
The employer may, if he wishes,
take an independent vote among
his employees but if he does not
wish to bargain he runs the risk
Of strike. Similarly in a dispute
between two unions for represen-
tation. The employer under the
new law may petition for an NLRB
election, but unless the unions have
complied with the filing require
ments they may not appear on the
ballot. If one union, perhaps the
smaller one, has complied, it will
appear on the ballot with "no
union" as the only other choice.
In this case, industrial relations
men are pointing out as labor law
yers did three months ago, in certi-
flying the smaller union which is
not truly representative of the bulk
of the employees, the company is
facing a strike. even if no strike
should occur" said one union at
torney, "what sort of labor rela-
tions can the company expect if it's
dealing with minority of its en-
ployes, what kind of harmony, NOR
ale and teamwork can they look
forward to-"

merce, big business daily, was
among the employer publications
that admitted last week that man.
agement is baffled over the ques-
tion Of labor by-passing the NLRB.
"Those who have dealings with
powerful unions," said the Journal
of Commerce, "are inclined to fear
direct union action where NLRB is
by-passed. This means that where
the union is strongly established it's
failure to resort to NLRB as arbi-
traitor in unfair practices and rep
resentation cases may lead to un-
necessary strikes. The cost to en-
ployers could be high"
employers who are concerned
over the threat of wave of strikes
by militant unions are wondering"
the paper continued, whether a |
new law'is needed to compel unions |
to seek the services of NLRB. They |
point out that in the original House !
version of the Taft Hartley Act a
strike was held illegal where a
union failed to employ peaceful
processes set up by the law" How
ever, the paper said that "it is pro-
badly too early for employers to
press for the enactment of such a
law"

HAVE YOU HEARD?


To help solve the special prob
lens of juvenile delinquents,
score of state legislatures have
put the accent on youth.
A roundup of legislative and
executive action shows that state
youth problems are putting increas-
ed emphasis on helping young de-
linquents adjust to society rather
than simply making their punish
ment fit their crimes.
New bureaus to deal expressly
with youth problems have been
created in some states, and at least
eight state legislatures have in
terim groups studying youth trou-
bles and services to recommend ac-
tion to the next legislative ses-
sions. Rehabilitation of delinquents
is emphasized.
That the black widow is the only
poisonous spider in this country,
and they are rarely found in
houses. The small spiders found in
most houses are harmless because
their jaws are not powerful enough
to pierce the human skin.
Few people enjoy seeing spiders
around even though they are bene-
ficial because they feed on such
pests as clothes mothes, flies, CEN
tipedes and gnats.
Any standard fly spray will kill
spiders, but DDT is less effective
for spiders than for many insects.

WOMEN

"Women's organizations and wo-

should realize that the contribu-

of world problems is of in-esti-

State George C. Marshall, speaking
at his reception for UN delegates
recently.
"In a democracy, no foreign pol
icy or national participation in any
international movement can sue
ceed unless it enjoys the solid sup
port of public opinion. The role of
women in the. formulation of public
opinion, especially in this country,
he said, ais so obvious that no man
would have the temerity to ques-

He went on to say that women
of this country have a most i'm
portant role to play in the develop
ment of public understanding of
the world problems which face the
United States.
Secretary Marshall wants you to
study our problems in aiding Eu-

WHAT'S COOKIN'?

| w IN 1OChI4N
| Washing or rinsing rice before
and after cooking has become an
outdated practice by recent re-
search. When rice was sold in bulk
it was necessary to wash before
cooking, but rice today comes pack
aged and is clean product. The
old practice was to rinse rice in
cold water after cooking to sep
arate the grains, but newer cooking
methods have made this unneces-
sary.
Tests show that brown unpolish-
ed rice or only partially polished
rice contains a large percentage of
thiamine Of which white rice has
none. Washing destroys a large
proportion Of the thiamine.
With these few simple cooking
rules it is difficult to go wrong
cooking rice.
Cook in as little water as pos
sible-more flavor and firmer tex
ture are insured.
Boil gently, keeping heat low.
Rapid boiling breaks grains. Cow
er pan loosely.
Do not rinse.
One cup of uncooked rice makes
3 cups cooked, or 6 servings.
Fresh and frozen fish will con-
tinue to be good buys for budget
meals for the next few months. In
fact more fish, fresh, frozen and
canned will be served on American
dinner tables this year than last,
but Americans will still not be eat
ing as much canned fish as they
did before the war. Canned fish
supplies will be plentiful this fall,
but prices are higher and will con-
tinue to be high.
A cake quickie with no bother of
icing which takes more time than
baking the cake anyway is done by
making a simple two layer cake.
Spread your favority jam between
the layers, place lace dolly on top,
