of all the people being affected by

should feel sorriest for today is Miss
Imogene Coca.
Miss Coca is the wonderfully funny
comedienne who is making the Fame

tacking her where it really hurts,
in the comedy act she performs. One
of Miss Coca's sketches is thing

the woman, is so funny about a
modish new coat?
This sort of thing has Miss Coca
worried. The New Look will sur

fashion show sketch is in dire dan

that coat won't look outlandish to

In Advising Workers
To Turn Down Union
BY the Associated Press

The National Labor Relations
Board, overruling q trial examiner
has decided that an employer die
not commit an unfair labor practice
when he advised his workers against
voting for union.
The board freed the Electric Steel
Foundry, Portland, Greg, of unfair
labor practice charges and dis
missed the challenges of both the
AFL and CIO to the plant election
of November 9, 1945.
Trial Examiner Irwin Rogosin had
ruled that the last three paragraphs
of statement by Company Presi-
dent Fred Swigert, distributed the
day before the election. were CO.
ercive. The board reversed him.
The three paragraphs in question
''If the election is won by a union
you will have lost your freedom OF
action. Decisions affecting your en-
ployment will be made by others,
not by you. Efficient production
will be handicapped by senseless re-
strictions. Cooperation will be re-
placed by disputes. Your daily news
paper tells the story.
1T is my honest belief that under

able to maintain the past standard
of employment that has made ESCO

Failure to vote is equivalent to a
