 Sees Dangers Ahead
 However, the board reported two disturbing developments. One is that employers are becoming more brazen in fighting unions, as shown by sharp increase in unfair la bor practice" charges. The second is dangerous rise in the boards own backlog of unadjusted cases.
 This backlog, the board said, is due to an exceptionally large num- Der of new cases filed during the past year at the same time that the boards budget was slashed, forcing it to lay off 20 percent of its per- Sonnel.
 Unless the board is given suffici- ,ent funds to reduce the logjam. long delays in handling cases may compel workers to resort to the "self-help of strikes to protect their rights, the board warned.

In achieving those objectives, the Wagner Act has been a remark able success, the board declared. Prior to passage of the law, as well as during the first few years it was on the statute books, most strikes were caused by resistance of employers to demands of workers for union recognition and by out right attempts of bosses to smash unions, the board pointed out.

Virginia Communities
Urged by Tuck 10
Curb Traffic Accidents
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, June 16-Gov
Tuck urged Virginians last night to
Organize for safety on community
level and adopt the same rules of
courtesy and common sense in your
driving habits that you use in your
social and business habits"
Launching an intensive summer
safety campaign, sponsored by his
Highway Safety Committee, the
Governor reported by radio that all
agencies of the State were using
every means at hand "to drive home
ceaselessly the Importance of elm
mating this omnipresent spectre
that stalks our streets and high
ways"-the motor vehicle accident.
Noting that during the last 10
years, nearly 325,000 were "slaugh-
tered" on the streets and highways
of the Nation-considerably more
lives than the war cost the United
States, Gov. Tuck declared that
these deaths, with attendant injur-
les and financial losses, were all pre-
ventable, "unwarranted and COM
pletely futile"
Here in Virginia." he said, '5,217
died in traffic during the years 1910
through 1945, almost reaching the

On Platform Policy
By the Associated Press

MOUNTAIN LAKE, Va, June 16.
With the adoption of the cam
paign slogan make Virginia two
party State in nineteen hundred
and orty-eight," Virginia Repubn-
cans have closed a two-day State
wide policy conference here.
After a full discussion of a uni
form platform for legislative candl-
dates, the Policy Committee ad-
iourned Saturday night to meet at
Roanoke July II to complete its
work, and State Chairman Robert
H. Woods, Pearisburg, issued a call
for the State Central Committee to
meet July IL in the same city, to
approve the platform formally.
The date for the platform ratifi-
cation was set to permit the ma
jority of legislative candidates, some
unnamed as yet, to study the pro-
posals. All candidates will be in
vited to attend the meeting.
Members of the Republican dele
CATION in the General Assembly and
other Republican oficeholders led
discussions on the projected plat
form, thereby giving the meeting
the benefit of their experience in
legislation and the practical work
ing of Virginia political affairs.
Leading panel discussions on edu-
cation, health, public welfare, tax
alton, governmental organization
and other issues was Senator Floyd
Landreth of Galax and Ted Dalton
of Radford; Delegate Ralph L. Lin

The recommended platform con-
tains proposals for correction of "the
many conditions to which Virgin
ians of both parties object" party
spokesman said, but "for which the
dominant party has offered no solu-
ton" An unrestricted constitu-
tional convention was recommended
because many major problems stem
from what was characterized as IAN
outmoded and often oppressive con-
stitution," he said.
Virginia's standing in comparison
with other States shows a condi-
ton too critical. for solution by
piecemeal methods, the party con-

Reilly Attacks
Home, Business
Rent Controls
Urges No Restriction
For New Housing
| Before House Group

The continuance of housing rent
control or the regulation of rents
of business properties in the Dis
trict were opposed before the House
District Committe today by John
A. Reilly, president of the Wash
ington Board of Trade.
Mr.. Reilly testified on two bills
being considered by the committee,
the first to continue the District
Rent Control Act until December
81, 1948, and the second, H. r. 1883,
to regulate the rents of business
properties in the District.
The Board of Trade head told
the committee he was expressing
officially adopted policies of the
$500 members of the organization
in asking that the termination
date of rent control in the District
be tied to the date selected for
Federal end to control. If the
Federal act does not specify a def
mite date for the end of controls,
Mr.. Reilly asked that the committee
consider ending controls here March
Is, 1948.
New Home Exemption Urged.
All new homes completed after
July /, 1947 should be exempt from
rent controls to encourage con-
struction of new rental units, Mr..
Reilly said. He suggested that
many homes now being held for
sale would be made available for
rental only if the law was amend
ed to exempt from controls hous-
ing which was not rented during
1945 or 1916.
Mr.. Reilly told the committee the
Board of Trade had already rec
commanded to the Commissioners
that general rent increase of 10
per cent above January l, 1941, be
given immediate consideration.
Protests Business Rent Curbs.
Asserting that the need for regu-
lation of business property rents
was even less than it was when it
was turned down a year ago, Mr..
Reilly said he was completely op-
posed to the bill setting up these
curbs.
"We believe there is unsoundness
fin limiting the amount a landlord
may receive in rent for a business
property which a merchant may use
| to derive unlimited profits, Mr..
Reilly said. "The supply of business
offices is now in many instances
equaling the demand, and COM
plants about commercial rent
gouging have been greatly reduced"
He also pointed out to the COM
mittee that maintenance costs were
up on all properties. that the Dis
trict assessor has recently levied an
increased assessment on all District
pl operty and that the real estate
tax may be increased by 25 cents If
the Senate concrs in the action
passed by the House last week.
