Taft Grabs
NLRB Aide

WASHINGTON (LPA) - Any
hopes that organized labor
nigh have had that perhaps one
Or two of its friends might be
placed among the group to ad-
minister the Taft-Hartley law
were dissipated last week.
For the second time Senator
Robert Taft (R., Ohio) reached
down into the regional offices of
the NLRB and selected for an
important post a man known as
an ultra-conservative in labor
matters. The new appointee is
Thomas E. Shroyer, to be gen.
eral counsel of the Joint Con-
gressional l. a b o management
Study Committee-the so-called
watchdog committee.
Shroyer, formerly with the
Boards legal department in the
Cleveland regional office, aided
former NLRB member Gerard
Reilly in drafting the Taft Hart
ley law. In Cleveland, where
many employers were repre-
sented in NLRB cases by SEN
ator Taft's law firm, Shroyer
never earned a reputation for
being sympathetic to unionism.

Labor Day
Plans Near
Completion

Plans for the CLOS annual
Labor Day Parade and picnic
are nearing completion, it was
today by Tom
Burke, TIUC executive sec
retary. The units lineups, parade
route and other information
relative to the parade will be
within the next III
days, he added.
CIO officials in charge OF the
parade promise that the ls47
march will be the most colorful
ever staged here. Unique cos
tunes, floats and other features
will show a marked departure
from other years, according to
Bunny Zawodny, parade chair
man.
One of the features OF this
years parade will be a group OF
boys and girls who have spent
time at Local 12's Children IS
Summer Camp at Sand Lake,
Mich. Invitations to the children
to participate in the parade are
being sent out this week and
indications are that they will
turn out in force to emphasize
the many activities in which the
union is engaged.
Picnic plans will be an
nounced as soon as they have
been completed by the com
mittee in charge.

TING Case Gets
NLRB Hearing

Statements of members of the
Toledo Newspaper Guilds griev-
ance committee were taken by
Dave Finley, representing the
Cleveland NLRB regional office
on Tuesday of this week in the
case of Miss Coakley, Guild
president.
Miss Coakley was removed
from her editorial post on the
Toledo Blade last month follow
ing her election to the post of
recording secretary of the Toledo
Industrial Union Council. She is
now employed in the Blades
reference library.
Following the taking of state
ments from the Blade manage
ment, the case will be reviewed
by NLRB officials. In the event
that they decide the Coakley
transfer was a violation of the
contract, they will recommend
that the B a de management
place Miss Coakley in her
former position.
Should the Blade reject the
the NLRB decision, or appeal it,
the case will then go before an
NLRB hearing for final disposi-
ton.
In the event that the decision
is against the Guild, it will be
able to appeal the decision and
bring the case to a hearing.
Miss Coakley is still working
in the Blade Library, although
it is reported she was offered
an editorial job last week in the
society department to help out
during vacations.

Food Prices TO
Continue Hiqh
WASHINGTON. Aug. 6 GPA)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6 (LPA)
No decline in meat prices is in
sight, the American housewife
was warned last week by the
Agriculture Department.
The fall forecast of the fed
eral agency predicted only a
slight decline from the present
top levels for meats when win
ter slaughter begins.
The planned scarcity" en-
couraged by wholesale dealers
in fruits and vegetables, and by
Gamers, was paying off this
month. The perishable COM
modities remained at sky-high
prices in the retail markets,
though in many places-notably
in the area supplying New York
City-farmers were forced to
plow under tomatoes, cucum-
bers and other crops.
Gamers have added to the
farmers problems, by limiting
the amount they are packing IN
order to keep prices at last year's S
record levels. The Gamers are
stuck with large quantities OF
last years pack, because of con-
sumer resistance to the low
quality and unknown brands
selling at high prices.
Farmers are receiving only
about 3 cents a pound for toma-
toes in New Jersey, while house
wives in New York paid as much
as 20 cents pound.
However, farmers on the
whole-mainly the large-scale
farmers and plantation owners
received go more for their
products on July Is than on
June Is. while the prices of
things farmers buy went up 20
over the same period.

Blood Specimens Of Oriental Young
May Reveal Reason for Increase in
Polio Cases among Yanks in Asia

BERKELEY, Calf, Oct. 3-With blood
specimens of several hundred children of three
Oriental countries, group of University of Cal
nornia scientists may answer one critical ques-
ton about poiomylitis.
The blood specimens may show why polio
increased among American troops in Japan dur
ing the past polio season and why there is gen
orally an increase wherever western European
adults go into poorly sanitated countries such as
Japan, India and North Africa, without paral-
: lei increase among the natives
The specimens were collected by scientific
mission for the Army archaeological board
headed by Dr. W. Med. Harmon, University of
California Medical School epidemologist, and
including DIR. j. Casas, Rockefeller Institute
of Medical Research; DR.. Don M. Rees, Universe
ty of Utah entomologst, and DIR. Gordon Mel
klejohn, University of California.
DR.. Harmon feels the specimens may prove
a medical theory that in countries with poor
IMITATION polio is common before the age of two,
but the paralytic form is rare Zip to that age
With immunity presumably acquired by age of
2, there is limited number of susceptibles to
polio in the age group where the disease is apt
to take the paralytic form.
