Truman Attends Rites
AT Washington Tomb;
Parade Marks Holiday
Speakers Cite Need
Of Strong Defenses
To Maintain Peace

President Truman, members OF
his cabinet and thousands of
other Washington residents
humble and great-ignored the
cold and wind yesterday to wit
ness and participate in events
commemorating the 215th ami
versary of George Washington's
birth.
Secretary of War Patterson,
speaking at Mount Vernon, said
universal military training would
make the United States strong so
that, in the words of Washington,
"belligerent nations, under the i'm
possibility Of making acquisitions
upon us, will not lightly hazard CIV
ing us provocation."
"World peace" the Secretary said,
depends largely on the course taken
by the United States. The world
will be only as secure as we are
secure. And today, as in Washing
tons day, our security and peace
depend on our ability to defend our
selves and to back up our foreign
policy" +,..

French Strike Threat
Grows, Civil Workers
And Miners May Quit
1850, 900 Will Walk OFF
Jobs Unless They Get
Increases in Salary
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, Feb. 22.-The threat of
a general strike grew in France
today as 100000 government
workers and $4,000 miners de-.
clared they would walk off their
Jobs unless they received salary
increases.
In Paris coal was lacking for
stoves and no French language
newspapers were being published.
Approximately 1000 printers and
1000 gasoline station attendants re-
manned idle in their strike for higher
pay.
The miners were demanding as a
minimum necessity" a wage of 1000
francs $3.50 a month. There were
indications that Premier Paul Ra-
nader might accede to the request
and one labor leader said the $56
minimum would be welcomed gener-
ally throughout the nation.
Minimum for Beginners.
The 7,0oo-franc minimum was
asked for beginners, who now make
around 5000 francs. Regulars in
the coal districts of France MAKE
from $4,000 to 10000 francs per
month, plus bonuses.
Government workers were asking
a 20 per cent general increase. APP
proximately 72,000 government en-
ployeS were said to be making less
than the $50 minimum The 100000
civil employees compare with 100000
before the war.
A walkout would paralyze rail-
roads, postal, telegraph and tele-
phone communications and likely
lead to a general strike throughout
the nation.
Gasoline attendants in Paris re-
manned at home for the third con-
secutive day in protest against a
government order that they must
sell gasoline at 20 francs liter with
coupons and so without coupons.
That leaves the operators a profit
of 10 francs on 100 liters, or about
so cents on 20 gallons. The opera
tors say they cannot sell on that
margin and do the bookkeeping re-
quired by the government.
Shortage of Taxicabs.
The strike resulted in a shortage
of taXicabs, but most of the 10000
motorists in Paris could still get
gasoline in the suburbs.

Three Staff Member,
OF Urban League
Resign Under Fire
Funds Rebate Issue
Behind Action of Race
Relations Techniciun

Three of the four staff men,
bers of the Washington Urban
League - including the techni-
clan in charge of the Social Sur
vey's controversial race rela-
tions report-have resigned un-
der fire and the League Board is
expected to accept their resigna-
tions at a special meeting to-
morrow, The Star learned yes
terday.
Those who resigned are: DR.. Jo-
seph H. Douglass, executive secre-
tary of the Urban League; Living
ston z. Reane, industrial secretary,
and Mrs. Ruth ]. Dean, DR.. Dou-
glass secretary.
DR.. Douglass, a salaried employe
of the Urban League, was loaned
to the Council of Social Agencies
as a paid technician for the race
relations survey The Urban League
paid his salary while he conducted
the survey. Two of his assistants
were paid directly by the Council
of Social Agencies.
Arrangement Is Described.
The designations are the result of
an arrangement-just disclosed
between DR.. Douglass and at least
one of two assistants under which
the assistant turned over to DR..
Douglass a portion of the funds
paid to the assistant for his work
on the survey.
The arrangement has been re-
ferred TO as a "izickback." DR.:
Douglass himself refers to it as a
rebate" The total funds involved
amounted to less than $500.
| M. Besne, who worked part-time
on the survey while employed by the
Urban League, has told the League
executive committee he turned back
to DR.. Douglass part of the $500
paid him by the Council of Social
Agencies.
In explanation of his arrange
ment with Mr.. Beane, DR.. Douglass
told The Star that Mr.. Beane did
not do a satisfactory job on the
survey and that he asked Mr. Beane
for a rebate" because Il felt the
payment could be used to better
advantage in another way
He said he used $3.50 of the money
paid to Mr.. Beane "for promulga-
ton of the survey"
Pierce Not Informed.
Asked why he had not told c. NJ
Pierce, director of the Washington
Social Survey, about the rebate, "
DR.. Douglass said he didn't feel that
Mr.. Pierce had to know about it be-
cause Mr. Pierce felt the entire sum
for the survey was modest and "let
me make the survey any way saw
fit"
DR.. Douglass two part-time paid
assistants were both hired on his
recommendation One was Mr.
Beane The other was the husband

NLRB Reversal Bars
Strike by Losers in
Plant Vote for Union
JAW Men Who Quit
Over Recognition Ruled
Ineligible for Rehiring
By james Y. Newton

The National Labor Relations
Board ruled yesterday that
workers who strike in an effort
to force employers to violate the
Wagner Act in so-called union
recognition" cases are not en-
titled to any protection under
that act.
BY the decision-a reversal OF a
previous ruling-the NLRB moved
to eliminate the type of strike in
which q minority group in a plant,
after losing an election which re-
suits in certification of another
union as bargaining agent for the
walks out in an attempt
to compel management to recog-
nize their union. 1t is a tactic usual
ly resorted to only by strong ma
tional union.
The decision is especially sig
nificant at this time since among
the labor bills before Congress there
is legislation to outlaw this type of
strike by amending the Wagner
Act. In his labor legislative pro-
gram, President Truman also called
for a ban on such strikes.
IL Workers Involved.
The NLRB now says in effect, by
its Interpretation of the Wagner
Act, that there is no necessity to
amend the law since it already pro-
vides protection against the strikes.
The board held that II members
of the CIO United Automobile
Workers who were discharged for
leading a brief strike at Thompson
Products, Inc, in 1912, are not en-
titled to get their jobs back. A
charge of unfair labor practices
lodged against the company as a
result of the frings was dismissed.
The decision reversed an NLRB
ruling of last August which held
that by dismissing the workers
the Thompson Corp. was guilty of
unfair labor practices. At that time
the firm was ordered to reinstate
the workers without back pay.
Company Offered Reinstatement.
The strike began December 20,
1912, to force the company to recog-
nize the UAW although an in
dependent union had been certified
by the NLRB as bargaining agent
after a plant election. The COM
pany offered to reinstate the strike
leaders if the walkout was ended,
and the union agreed to that ar
rangement, according to the de-
cision. However, the strike con-
tinued two more days and the COM
pany refused reinstatement.
In last August's decision it was
recognized that the intent of the
strike was to force the Thompson
company to violate an NLRB Ger
tification. But, at that time, the
board held the company had con-
doned the strikers improper con-
duct" and Therefore it must make
good the reinstatement offer.
The case was reopened in Noyem-
Der and. after further investigation,

An act of kindness done by you
Will cheer the heart that's sad,

It makes your own heart glad.
Be friendly with your neighbors
And extend helping hand.
And each of them will grasp it
In a way you'll understand.
Then when you travel down life's
road
And round the distant bend,
There'll be a host Of people who
Will say, There goes a friend"
