This second Inversion layer.
where the thermometer goes UP

matte records carried on rocket
bomb flights.
Supports Sensational Theories.
The first hot belt at extreme
heights, now penetrated by record
ling instruments for the first time
was reported to the American
Meteorological Society two weeks
lago. The higher one is more re-
imarkable and supports the most
sensational theories that. after q
certain distance above the earth
Iit gets hotter and hotter. This is
the first experimental evidence to
support these predictions.
Existence Of the second inversion
layer developed from study OF the
records by scientists Of the Naval

probable explanation, they say, Is
that at the higher altitude there is

Committee Sho,d
|Of BiddIe Nomination
10 U. n. Post Sought
BY ihs Assoeieied Press

Senate Democrats sought z
Foreign Relations Committee
showdown today on President
Truman's long spending appoints
ment OF Francis Biddle as Amer
lean representative on the
United Nations Economic and
Social Council.
Their demand for COMMITTEES
action on the nomination OF the
former Attorney General came a1
a time when thir own as well q.
Republican ranks appear divided
over the Presidents possible choics
Of Mark F. Ethridge, Louisville pub
Usher, as directing head of the
$500 ,000, 900 Greek Turkish aid pro-
gram.
The Biddle appointment has beer
Ipigeonholed by the Republican-con-
trolled committee since January %
In the interval, the council already
has met and adjourned, to meet
again next fall.
Republican opposition to Mr.. Bid
die was reported to stem from his
New Deal" viewpoint which some
COP committee members think
should not be carried to the U. N
Council.
Vandenberg Stand Awaited.
However, a Democratic Senator
who favors the nomination told 9
reporter he thinks the fate OF the
appointment rests on whether
Chairman vandenberg decides te
60 along, even If reluctantly.
Senator Vandenberg, who put ar
informal freeze order on the nom-
nation while the Senate was bat
Ting over the Presidents choice o1
David F. Lilientnal to head thu
Atomic Control Commission, has
refused comment.
The New Deal" issue also said to
have been raised against Mr.. Eth
ridge by Southern Democrats as
well as Republicans. One Of these
Democrats said he told administra-
ton heutenants when they ap-
preached him about the matter that
he would oppose confirmation OF
Mr.. Ethridge If he were nominated.
The Senator added that other South
erners have expressed the same view
to him.
There have been indications that
the State Department would like to
have Mr.. Ethridge take over ths
dictatorship of the Greek Turkish
program. He is serving as American
representative on the United Ma
tions group investigating Greek bor,
der disturbances. But with Senate
fight in sight, some Senators ex-
pressed doubt that any such ap-
pointment would be made.
Nelson, La Toilette Mentioned.
Senator Vandenberg was repre-
sented as insisting on non-contro-
versial nominee to prevent a repeti-
ton of the Lillienthal battle.
In this connection, there are re-
ports that the President has con-
sidered among others the names OF
Donald M. Nelson, former War Pro
duction Board chairman, and for
mer Senator Robert M. La Toilette,
Wisconsin Progressive who lost In
the Republican primary last year
The Senate's right to confirmation
remained in doubt as Senate and
House conferees scheduled q meet
ing later in the day to iron out
differences in their versions of the
Greek Turkish bill. The House left
out confirmation clause, but Sem
ators expressed confidence 1t would
be reinserted in the final version.

Headquarters Move Asked.
Mr.. Gromyko also insisted that

presence in Salonika may encourage
activities Of certain irresponsible anc
adventurous Greek circles"
The Council, convening last night
after full days schedule of com.

New Labor Curb Laws
Studied al Virginia

By the Asseeiaied Press

RICHMOND, Va, May 13.-Reso-
Ilutions on Virginia's new Public
Utilities Labor Relations Act and
right to work" legislation were ex-
lpected at the convention of the
State Federation Of Labor today.
During the opening day OF the
groups 51st annual meeting, State
President Jack Smith and Lewis
Hines, chairman of the Legislative
Committee of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor, yesterday criti-
cized the Virginia labor situation.
1.-THE State people tell us 1t Is not
their intention to hurt organized
labor" Mr.. Smith said. THAT, Of
course, Is rot. We do not expect a
group Of politicians to tell us what
is good for us. This is about as rea-
sonable as sparrow telling q fish
how to swim.
Cooperation Promised.
"We will do our part in the Vir-
ginia community. We will meet
management fairly and decently in
q friendly spirit in our program to
advance the cause of the working
people. We will cooperate with the
church and civic organizations to-
ward the advancement Of commu-
nifty life. Good unionism Is good
citizenship"
Mr.. Hines, after extolling the
leadership in establishing free gov
eminent offered by virginians Of
the past-Wasfdngton, Jefferson and
Patrick Henry-asked:
'If these great apostles of free
dom were alive today, do you know
what would happen? Gov. Tuck
would induct them into the Ma
tional Guard and send them march
ing out as strikebreakers!
But we are going to fight, and
we are going to defeat sooner or
later every one Of those fellows who
are trying to shackle u.s."
1900 Disputes Settled.
In q plea for voluntary arbitra-
ton as preferable to that Of q COM
pulsory nature, c. H. Williams, re-
gional director of the United States
Cancellation Service, declared that
there Is no royal road to industrial
harmony, but the fact that $1,000
disputes were settled peacefully by
the uses last year seems to point
the way.
1--WE must continue to settle dis
putes without work stoppages, be-
cause work stoppages are not very
healthy at present on account of,
shall I say. punitive legislation?"
The remarkable expansion" OF
apprenticeship in the construction
industry, and suggestions as to how
| it may be directed and controlled.
was the subject of a talk by william
F. Patterson, director of Apprentice
Training Service In the Labor De-
partment.
Education Program Cited.
An outline of the greatly expand
ed program Of labor relations edu-
cation, from the public school level
through the universities, was pre-
sented by John D. Connors, director
of the Workers Educational Bu-
reau Of the American Federation
of Labor.
