while Congress is In recess and
added:
IF Denham is going to be that
soft, doubt that he is the man for
the job"
One of the two unconfrmed new
NLRB members is former Senator
Abe Murdock, Democrat, of Utah,
who went along with the majority.
The other is j. Copeland Gray, who
cast the lone dissent.
The other majority members were
Chairman Paul M. Herzog, John M.
Houston and James j. Reynolds, jr.
The majority held that under Mr..
Denham's Interpretation one top
AFL or CIO officer could block all
member unions from NLRB help.
John L. Lewis, an AFL vice presi-
dent, already had refused to sign
the pledge as matter of principle,
although he is strong anti-Com-
munist.
The board majority said, how
ever, that putting any single officer
in a position to WELD such power
would play right into the hands of
"dissension seeking Communist
leadership" instead of accomplish
ing the fundamental purpose of
Congress to eliminate Com
munist influence from the labor
movement"
AS general counsel with final
authority under the law in grievance
cases involving alleged unfair labor
practices, Mr.. Denham could have
insisted on his own opinion and
thereby thrown out many AFL and
CIO cases in the future. His de-
cision to go along with the board
was therefore important.
Mr.. Gray's scathing dissent held
that Mr.. Denham was right and
that Congress meant to have every
labor leader publicly disclaim COM
munism. Mr. Gray said:
THE argument of the majority
that such a construction would en-
able one officer to determine the
fate of all members of union, all
of whose local and international
officers have complied, is in essence
an attack upon the method adopted
by Congress to rid the labor move
ment of Communist leadership"
The NLRB decision was given in
case in which Mr. Denham's aides
had refused to set a date for an
election asked by local of the AFL
International Brotherhood of Elec-
trical Workers. The requested elec-
ton was to determine whether the
union had majority bargaining
rights for five electrical workers of
Radio Station WARL in Arlington,

Hite Nursery School
will Be Investigated
AT Once, Johns Says

Brooke Johns, president of the
Montgomery County Board of Com
missioners, today promised an i'm
mediate investigation of the Hite
Nursery School, near Rockville, foi-
lowing disclosure that Mrs. Maude
&c. Hite is operating the school with
out county permit.
Mr.. Johns said "the outcome Of
the investigation would determine
whether county authorities will
close the institution"
The charge that the. school Is be-
ing operated without permit was
contained in report by three
Montgomery County detectives who
visited the school last Wednesday.
Results of their investigation were
made public this afternoon by
States Attorney Walter w. Dawson.
1t had previously been learned
that the institution is being oper-
ated without permit from the State
Department of Public Welfare. Mr..
Dawson said he planned to consult
with the State Welfare Department
before prosecuting Mrs. Hite for
failure to obtain a license.
Writ May Be Sought.
He pointed out that the depart
ment may seek an injunction pro-
hibiting further operation of the
school.
In the report Capt. Theodore F.
Vollten, who led the investigating
group, said the detectives found only
one partly used can of fruit juice,
which he said was entirely made
quate to feed the approximately Is
children at the school, and a to
tally inadequate supply of bed
linen"
He also reported that Mrs. Hite
had "falsifed" statements to de-
tectives concerning the, conditions
under which two children were
found locked in their room by their
parents September 29
The parents are Mr.. and Mrs

An AFL picket was placed in front of this small one-room manufacturing concern. Deliveries Of raw materials ceased The factory closed in days.
 In this situation there laws to protect the company, there no laws to protect the workers, and Federal courts are expressly forbidden jurisdic tion.
 The three workers admitted their defeat and re- uctantly consented to join the union.
 The business agent brought around a closed shop agreement which the company signed The employees paid $75 initiation and business resumed for 3 weeks
 Then they were called out on strike Now here are the facts:
 l. The employees were satisfied with their ings and working conditions
 9 There no labor dispute
 B No collective bargaining took place.
 4 None of the employees wanted to strike.
 Yet that small manufacturing plant was put out of business and this typical of thousands of all the land.
 Let's look at another angle of the closed-shop issue The ultimate goal of all labor leaders is to get a closed union. This is labor organization which limits membership in way, or makes it difficult for members to get in
 Today for example worker trying to get into the longshoremens union may find it impossible be- cause in many the union has closed it's books. A skilled worker trying to get job in the building trades may be told to get waiting list if he doesn't already belong to the union.
 It is this kind of restriction which creates the labor monopolies that deny jobs to many deserving workers.
 In Chicago right after the war, veteran returned to his old job in his unce's motion picture theatre Ee had operated the projection machine there for Il years but while he away the union had blund- geoned the uncle into a closed-shop contract. The union refused to accept the returned veteran as a member and his old job occupied by good union man. So there he out of job while his uncle being sued by the Government for violation of the obguaranty provisions of the Seecve Service Act.
 Is there any wonder that we are hearing from all this Nation louder demand for the abolition of the closed shop and all that it implies?

Why the Delay?
Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enquirer
 The semimonthlv official publication of the Dis abled American Veterans describes the halt in con- struction of veterans hospitals "a sorry and con- temptibe piece of negligence on the part of our government" And certainly, just on the basis of the statistics of the Administration there for complaint.
 According to the records, 75 hospitals have been approved for building and appropriations made Sites have been selected in 72 instances. But plans and specifications have been completed and approved in only seven cases, and as of the present only these seven new hospitals being built, with none com pleted yet.
 Even with due allowance for the delays to be expected these times of construction bottlenecks this is sorry record Especially is it sorry in the face of commercial construction which has proceeded de- spite handicaps.
 At last accounting, March 3l, there were 22,296 veterans awaiting hospital admission There would have to be mighty good reason to explain why they are being kept waiting

THE CLOSED SHOP

One of the numerous reasons Congress IS seeing fit to pass legislation curbng certain labor union practices has been the closed shop
 Speaking on this subject recently. Rep. John s Wood of Georgia illustrated how it works:
 Out in Oakland Calf. young man by the name of Donald M Gibson ran small paint manufacturing concern with three employees.
 The Gibson Paint Go. is typical of the small busi nesses that make up the backbone of the American economy This company occupied room about twice as large as your living In the back of the room they manufactured paint in the front, they sold it, They had no salesmen, no dealers, delivery truck Donald Gibson just made and sold paint
 For 10 years, Paint Makers Local No 1101, of the giant American Federation of Labor had been trying to organize all three employees of the Gibson Paint O. They refused to join, although they were told repeatedly by the owners that they free to do if they wanted to.
 Last fall the paint makers local tried another approach Their business agent requested the com pany to fire the three employees and the union would the closed shop would be established One of the old Co., for 20 years, another years. and the third a returned veteran just under year
 The Gibson Paint Go. rejected the demand
 This was the companys first mistake. You see it felt it had a right to conduct its business il felt it's employees had equal right to join mol to join union
 Now, of course, the company right.
 But we must remember we're talking about labor relations where what right has nothing to do with what happens.

 Why are you taking up the important time of the United States Senators in discussing ad- vertising of alcoholic beverages throughout the nation in magazine, rado, and newspapers when in Kan sas we have prohibition situation which is a national disgrace?
 Gan you honestly say that the states dry laws which you person. ally upheld are respected by ten percent of the people of Kansas you represent? Don't you know that in the shadow of your own news paper in Topeka and the state house there are wide-open saloons operating as fraternal clubs where anyone, member and stranger alike, can get all the booze he can swill?
 Don't you know that they are running unmolested and that in your own Shawnee County there are more liqcor licenses issued than even in Sedgewick County-the largest in the state? Don't you also know that in Kansas City, Kansas, where you have another newspaper, enough booze is sold every week to float a batleship?
 Why don't you use your news papers in Topeka and Kansas City and your radio station and your farm journals to fight this situa- ton? We can't recall single cru sade you have ever carried on in this state in an endeayor to enforce the prohibitory law through your newspapers and your radio station

 Some of Peron's top Cabinet ministers (especially those whom the reports criticized have been bitter in their complaints against the committees actions, arguing that public confidence in the re- gime was being undermined. Recently, these quarrelS reached climax. Peron arrived at his of- flee that morning a few minutes summoned the key figures on both sides of the controversy to a secret conference. Among those who at tended were Miguel Miranda, Pres ident of the Central Bank; Luis Lagomarsino, Minister of Industry and Commerce, members of the in vestigating committee, plus Peron'S most trusted congressional lieuten- ants.
 Charges and counter charges were hurled freely Hour afer hour, the issues were thrashed out with no interruptions. Peron had given strict instructions that he was not to be disturbed. no matter what happened.
 Those instructions were obeyed so literally that diplomatic incident almost resulted. The new amhaSSa- dors of Czechosloyakia, Brazil and the Dominican Republic were to present their credentials to Peron ill separate ceremonies at 10, 10:30 and II that morning. When proto- cal officials of the Foreign Minis try arrived at the Presidential Pal ace shortly after 9:30 they were simply told to wait; all audiences had been suspended until the ses- sion in the inner sanctum ended.
 So the Foreign Office represeI- tatiyes waited-for two hours and 50 minutes, fumIng but impotent Meanwhile in the Plaza Hotel on the other side of the city, the three ambassadors also cooled their heels. No word was sent to them in that time-because the Foreign Ministry didn't know what explanation to give. The situation was without pre- cedent in Argentine history.
 Finally, a 12:30 pm, word was gotten to Peron who then sent an aide to offer the ambassadors his apologies. The Czechoslovakian ac- cepted these with good grace but the ambassadors ol Brazil and San to Domingo were furious Both an- nounced th9t they would protest to their home governments.

To Complete Housing Unit
 AtAnthorage
Money Available and Con- fraCtor to Proceed with
 Work Immediately

SEATTLE, June 5.-tR-Authori- zation for a S500,O00 expenditure to permit completion of the 96-unit veterans emergency housing project at Anchorage, Alaska, was announc- ed today by Jesse Epstein, Regional Director of the Federal Public Hous- ing Authority.
 Epstein said that notice to pro- ceed is being issued to the con- tractor and that work will be re- sumed immediately, with the ex- pectation of completing the project , before winter.
 Authorized under Title V of the Lanham Act which made Federal funds available for reuse of war housing to provide emergency hous- ing for veterans, the project was undertaken last October. Completion was scheduled in March, but in De- cember the project was suspended when rising construction costs and lack of funds forced a ten per cent reduction in the program nation ally.
 A $35,5O0 deficiency appropriation bill is now pending in Congress to permit resumption of most of the cut-back units Special action was taken by FPHA on Anchorage, how ever, to make the S500,000 available immediately, Epstein said, since further delay might prevent com- 1 pletion of the project before winter.
 The total amount of the Anchor age contract is $710,000 of which $208,000 was expended before the project was suspended. The con- tractors are Lytle. Green and Mathes.
