WASHINGTON, Now that the
Taft-Hartley labor bill is law whe-
Their you like it Or not, the next
question is how to make it work.
All these laws have a way of pan
ming out different from what was
intended. Lager lawyers are look
ing for loopholes. So many of the
predictions of dire consequences
may 60 haywire.
First challenge to President Tru-
man will come in naming two new
National Labor Relations Board
members and a new general coun-
sci who will now be a separate
prosecutor before the board. While
the changes in the Wagner Act
do not become effective until Aug.
%, the President "may'' appoint
the three new officials at once.
The law does not say the Presi-
dent ''must'' or "shall'' name them
at once.
That gives him two possible
courses. He can let these appoint
ments 60 until Congress adjourns
about a month from now, then
make recess appointments. Han
died this way, the new officials
would not have to be confirmed
by the Senate till it convenes in
special session next fall Or in
regular session next January. Thus
the President might appoint men
who would administer the law
more to organized labor's liking.
Truman's other choice Is to say
to the Republicans in the Senate:
"Okay, this is your baby. Since
you think it will grow up to amount
to something, you tell me what
men you want to nurse it, and III
appoint 'em."
There is recent precedent for this

From purely political points o1
view there are advantages to both

If the bill doesn't work and gets
labor relations all snarled up ir
the next year, Democrats can en-
ter the 1948 elections saying, eve

Hartley Act brought on more

Is there any reason to think that
American oil did not fuel Japanese
ships and planes? Or can we forget
that Japan did move into the southwest
Pacific and confiscate the oil there,
having first delivered its blow at Pearl
|Harbor?
It may we'll be that Americas dwind-
ling oil supply cannot be fully attribut-
ed to exports, particularly to Russia.
There has been heavy driving in this
country since ~rationing ended, possibly
too much driving. But the American
people assuredly are entitled to first
consideration. No part Of any potential
shortage should stem from exports,
especially to Russia.

the time for compromise arrives.
With France and Great Britain solid
ly behind the Marshall proposal, how
ever, it may be possible to force the
hand of Russia sooner than is usual.
Whatever Russia's decision, it will be
well to have it known that something
may be done to unity at least the part
of Europe, especially the part of Ger

THE TAME CATS

It is strange to think that your
pet cat is a cousin of the lions and
tigers in the jungle, but so it is.
Big cats and little cats, their kim
ship is shown by the 1.-THE, agile
bodies, the sharp teeth SO well a
dapted to tearing meat, the sharp
curved claws, and the muzzle
framed in spreading Whiskers,
which are characteristic of car
nivores or f~lesh-eating animals.
Long association with human be-
ings had modified our cat. They
have learned to love us when we
are good to them, and to eat
many things besides meat.
Breeding cats is quite a business,
and fanciers have taken great
pains to develop the fine points Of
the Persians Or long-haired cats,
the Manx or tailless cats, and the
Siamese cats. AS a matter OF
fact, however, the common short
haired cats that we call alley cats
have a most distinguished ances-
try. They are descended from the
sacred cat Of Egypt.
The first cats known in history
were those the ancient Egyptians
obtained by catching and tanning
Kaffir Cor c%affre) cats, small wild
cats found in Africa and Asia.
There is always something mys-
terious in cats, and perhaps that
is what led the Egyptians to wor-
ship them. Thousands of cat num-
mics in beautiful Eases have been
discovered in Egyptian g%rottos. at
testing to the honor in which these
people held cats. But perhaps
these cats grew tired of being wor-
SHIPPED, for many OF them made
their way through Gibraltar into
England and Scotland, where they
mated with native wild cats and
produced the breed of short-halrs
now so common in Europe and
America.

3 Crucial MRB Jobs Open

While none Of the members OF
Congressional Labor Committees
who wrote this new law would
want these jobs, early speculation
on possible nominees has brought
up the names of men who played
an important acknowledgements
part in drafting the measure.
They include Theodore R. Iser-
man of New York and William In
giles OF Washington, both high
priced labor consultants who prob
ably couldn't afford to work for
government salaries. Iserman is
a Chrysler lawyer who has written
and spoken a great deal against
the Wagner Act. Ingles is Wash
ington lobbyist for Allis-Chalmers,
J. I. Case, Fruehauf, Inland Steel.
American Mining Congress and the
Falk Corporation. He is also rep
re;sentative of the Foremen's
League for Education, organized
to combat unionizaion OF super
visory employees. -,
At a working level were Gerald
D. Morgan and Gerald D. Reilly,
both Washington labor consultants.
Morgan was for a number OF years
on the staff Of the House leglsla-
tive counsel. He was special coun-
sci to the House Labor Committee.
Reilly was formerly solicitor 1or
the Labor Department and NLRB.
Later he served as a member OF
the Labor Board. He was an ad-
wiser to the Senate Labor Com
mittee in drafting its bill. But he,
too, says he can't afford the job.
Gerhard p. van Arkel, who
served as counsel to the present
three-member Labor Board, re-
signed almost Immediately after
the Senate voted to override the
Presidents veto because he has
doubts about the laws workability.
Present members Of the board
besides Chairman Herzog, whose
term expires in August 1850, are
ex-Congressman John M. Houston,
whose term ends in August 1948,
and James H. Reynolds. whose
term run until 1851. One of the
new appointees will serve till Au-
gust 1949, the other till August
1852. The pay is $12,0
The first year Of the new five
man boards service will be the
hardest. 1t will take that long
to get a few test cases through
the courts and find how the law

off under the bill may not come
until next spring, when most of
the big labor contracts come -

Cats are important to human So

The Marshall Challenge

It is to be noted, primarily, that the
Marshall proposal, which the foreign
ministers of Great Britain, France and
Russia are now considering in Paris,
is not a plan but a challenge.
Europe must work out a plan of re-
Mobilization for itself. If the United
States is to be a party to it when it
has been drafted, will depend upon the
attitude of the three governments most
vitality involved.
Britain and France are heartily in
accord with the proposal. Their for
elgn ministers are as cognizant of the
effect upon communists in their lands
as they are of the issues involved in
Russla's attitude, but they also realize
that the present conference is chiefly
concerned with the broad issue whether
Europe shall be united or divided.

The Russian Glacier

There has recently been held a World
Film Festival in Brussels, during which
the Belgian-American society was host
at a luncheon for the Belgian Cabinet.
A notable feature Of this event was an
address prepared by Mr.. Eric Johnston,
president of the Motion Picture AS
sociation and a keen analyst of world
affairs who, prior to taking over Will
Hays Job, headed the Chamber of Com
MERGE of the United States.
The text of Mr.. Johnston's speech
has been released in Washington and
some of the things he wrote are not to
be passed over lightly. For example,
he described Russia as a hugh glacier
moving steadily from east to west,
s%mothering whatever may lie in its
path" Russian policy, he said, raises
the question if there is another ice
age on the way, and this time made by
man instead of by nature"
This, We think, more aptly describes
Russia's ~activating power than Winston
IChurchill's "iron curtain" A curtain
must be raised before it can be lowered
again, whereas a glacier moves steadily
on.
Having thus given us a comprehen-
Isive definition of the Soviet Unions
motivation, Mr.. Johnston pays his re-
spects to Henry Wallace, his "miscon-
ceptions' and false doctrines. Among
these he lists "phony' assertions that
American political and economic policy
is imperialistic, and that the United
States is the "world center of reaction"
Had Mr.. Wallace "looked east instead
of west when he was in Europe, he
might have found some cause to worry
about imperialism in the world today"
As to "reaction," Mr.. Johnston ask
ed: "How can you call ~reactionary a
nation which in a single generation has
fought two wars it neither sought nor
inspired for the right Of man to live a
free life in a free society,"" He also
points out that Mr.. Wallace, as Secre-
tary of Commerce predicted there
would be eight million unemployed in
this country Immediately after the wal.
The fact is that employment is higher
now than at the wars peak. "We had
a manpower shortage and employment
in my country has moved steadily for
ward since the war;" said Mr.. Johnston.
There have been many comments on
the Wallace speeches, both abroad and
at home. None have barred his sophis-
tries more effectually.

Canadian Newsprint
Subpoenas Face TEST
BY the Associated Press

MONTREAL, Sept. 16.-The Ca
madam International Paper Co. an
nounced yesterday that, together
with its subsidiary, international
Paper Sales Co., Inc, it will test the
validity of United States grand jury
subpoenas asking for their Canadian
newsprint records.
The subpoenas were issued in a
grand jury investigation of charges
that the newsprint industry is not
allowing a free market of newsprint.
S. L. de Carteret, president of the
two firms, said they will contest the
validity of the subpoenas rather
than submit Canadian records to a
United States court without further
contest.
American counsel had advised, he
said, that failure to produce Cana
dian records at the risk of possible
citation for contempt of court is the
only method by which an appealable
decision Of the District Court can
be obtained.
Mr.. de Carteret said Canadian
International Paper Co. and Inter-
national Paper Sales Co., Inc, are

subpoenas covered virtually all the

Differ on Details.
The code has drawn general in
dorsement in principle, but some
sharp objections on details.
A number of independent stations
marshaled their forces for an attack
on what they called the "inhexibil-
ity" of the code as it came before
the full membership for discussion
AS the discussion progressed 1t was
expected they would ask for more
fexibility on provisions dealing
with the time allowed for CONNER
cial announcements. 7
Under the proposed standards of
practice, NAB officials estimate that
commercials would be reduced by
about 4 to 20 per cent and for
some type shows, they said, the re-
duction would be sharper, for in
stance, on such programs as So
called shoppers guides, time clock
programs, and disc jockey shows.
Confident of Approval.
But Justin Miller, NAB president,
has expressed confidence the code
will meet with approval of a major
ity of members. Actual approval is
up to the NAB Board of Directors,
although the board is expected to
be guided by today's discussions.
Representatives of the major net
works have expressed themselves in
favor of a code, and the Advisory
Board of the 161 independently
owned stations affiliated with the
Columbia Broadcasting System has
strongly Endorsed the code. The
American Broadcasting Co. is watt
ing until it polls its affiliates before
committing itself on the proposed
standards.
