Hartley Plans Move
To Bar Mass Pickering
By the Associated pre<s

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 25-Rep-
resentative Hartley, Republican, of
New Jersey, co-author of the Taft
Hartley labor law, says he plans to
hold hearings early next year for
the purposes of strengthening the
laws provisions against mass picket
ing.
1T ought to be a Federal offense
to keep man from his job" Mr..
Hartley said last night in address
ing an institute sponsored by the
Indiana and Indianapolis chambers
of commerce.
IF any changes in the law are
made-and 1 believe few will be
made in the next Congress-thcy
should further safeguard the right
to work. the chairman of the
House Labor Committee added.
Mr.. Hartley said the law "ac-
tually grants new rights to the
workers while it sets up projections
against abuses of the labor. barons
He criticized the Wagner Act
amended by the Taft Hartley law
as having failed first, because ii
was lopsided, and second, because
it was administered in its early
stages at least as though the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board was
a recruiting agency for the CLIO"
Mr.. Hartley urged employers to
inform their employees of all phases
Of the law, adding, IF you fail to
do it, you are letting down the men
who voted it into effect"

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-A ply
sician spokesman told a congress
sional price inquiry subcommittee
late yesterday that because of high

DOORS"
DR.. Theodore Sanders told the
eastern subcommittee of the joint
Congressional Price Committee that
he represented the Physicians
Forum, which he described as a
national medical group, it's members
all belonging to the American Medi-
cal Association.
Only by hating the disastrous
price increase can we assure the
continued operation of hospitals
which are essential for the care of
the sick" DR.. Sanders said.
Moreover, he said, reduced diets
in the home bring higher material
and infant rates, a higher tuber.
culosis rate and lowered industrial
efficiency.

Family Asks Barrett
Why Police Picked Up
Woman, "a, on Street

MAJ. ROBERT j. Barrett, Superin-
tendent of police, will be asked to
explain why a 64-year-old grand
mother was taken to the 9th
precinct Saturday night in police
patrol wagon because she was un-
able to convince two foot patrolmen
she was not lost and confused"
Mrs. Cecil E. Rhodes, 24G8 Thir-
tieth street NE, said her mother,
Mrs. Elva Davis, is an arthritic-
which affects her gait-and suffers
from a nervous impeachment of
speech. Mrs. Rhodes said she will
lodge ner complaint with Maj. Bar
rett because she considers that her
mother was "humiliated' by the ride
from a bus stop at Thirteenth and
H streets NE. to the police sta
ton in the patrol wagon.
Capt. John j. Jeffries of the
9th precinct said it was customary
for foot patrolmen to call for the
patrol wagon to take persons to
the precinct station. II a scout car
had been involved in the incident,
Mrs. Davis would have been driven
to the station in it. But patrol
man has no other means of trans
portation, he added.
Was Waiting for Bus.
Mrs. Davis had been to a nearby
motion picture theater and was
waiting for a bus when Policemen
Henry j. Peterson and Walter F.
Shepherd noticed her.
The account of the incident given
by Capt. Jefferies, after an investi-
cation, differs with what Mrs. Davis
says happened.
Mrs. Davis, widow, said she
watched the two policemen trying to
arrest a drunk. The policemen had
called for the wagon from an ad-
lacent patrol box, Mrs. Davis told
her daughter, but while waiting for
it to arrive, the prisoner broke away
and escaped.
Then, Mrs. Davis declared, the
policemen approached her and
hustled" her into the wagon and off
W GIle precinct SJaClOn.
Capt. Jefferies said Pvts. Peterson
and Shepherd did not call the patrol
wagon for another prisoner. They
were walking their beat, Capt. JEFF
ferries said, when they approached
Mrs. Davis at the bus stop because
she appeared confused. They were
unable to understand Mrs. Davis at
tempt to give her name and address,
he said, and decided to "bring her in
for her own protection" They then
called for the wagon. he said.
Drunk Man Reported.
While waiting for the wagon.
Capt. Jeffries said, some one told
the policeman that man was lying
drunk IN a nearby doorwoy. Pvt
Shepherd shook the man, Capt.
Jeffries said and found that he was
asleep but not drunk. He was sent
on his way.
At the station house, Corpl. Dewey
H. Mayo took charge of Mrs. Davis
Finally, by getting Mrs. Davis to
write her address and telephone
number, Corpl. Mayo was able to
contact the family.
Corpl. Mayo asked Mrs. Rhodes
on the phone what he should do
Capt. Jeffries said, and was told to
put Mrs. Davis in a cab and send
her home. That was done. Capt
Jeffrles emphasized that Mrs Davis
was not under arrest, merely in
custody for her own protection "as
is often done when old women and
children are found on the street
late at night"
