Dodgers Sci RetordUsind
 Mound Men
By JOE REICHLER

Last year Leo Durocher set a record for changing chuckers when he used 380 pitchers in l57 games while managing the Dodgers to second place in the National League pennant race. That was an average of slightly less than 2ia pitchers per game.
 But now mild-mannered, conser- vative Burton Shotton holds the Dodger reins and outdoes Durocher in the art of juggling hurlers.
 Tn the Dodgers 28 games to date, of which incidentally they've won IS, Shotton has used 81 pitchers, an average of 2.89 per game. Only five times have Brooklyn hurlers gone the route.
 Shotton practically gave the pitching staff a vacation yesterday when he called upon only two hurl- CTS to subdue the submerged St.. Louis Cardinals 4-3 in 10 innings. Lefthander Joe Hatten opened up for Brooklyn and was replaced by fireman Hugh Casey, who went on to gain his third victory of the sea- son.
 Cookie Lavagetto, veteran Dodger third sacker, broke up the game with a run scoring single in the 10th off starting and losing pitcher Harry (the Cat Brecheen.
 Cubs Back on Top
 The Chicago Cubs recaptured first place by shading the Philadel phia -Phils 2-1 in Wrigley Field. They lead the New York Giants by nine percentage points. It marked the Cubs fifth straight win over Philadelphia, all by one run.
 Frank Shea. rookie righthander of the New York Yankees, gained his first major league shutout and his fourth triumph by outpitching the mighty lefty, Hal Newhouser, of the Detroit Tigers so before 49,844 Yankee Stadium fans in a night game.
 Handcuffed for seven innings, the Philadelphia Athletics came to life in the eighth with fiverun rally against rookie Pete Gebrian and two successors to defeat the Chi cago White Sox 5-2 in a night game at Philadelphia. It was Chi cago's first loss in the last five games.
 NewsOm Finally Wins
 Bobo Newsom gained his first win of the season and his 195th or his big league career when he pitched the Washington Senators to a 7-3 night game victory over the St. Louis Browns.
 The Boston Braves and Pitts burgh Pirates were not scheduled while the only day game in the American League between Cleveland and the Red Sex at Boston, was postponed by rain. Rain also wash ed out the scheduled game between the New York Giants and Cincin- natl Reds at Cincinnati.

Asks Truman's AppOintees
To Act on U. S. Job Bars

WASHINGTON, D. C. - The
Presidents Committee on Civil
Rights was called upon last Friday
to intervene to end race discrimina-
ton in government employment.
In a letter to Charles E. Wilson,
chairman of the committee, Thomas
Richardson, vice president of the
United Public Workers of America
(CIO), urged an immediate inves-
tigation and action to end alleged
discriminatory practices in employ
ment by federal agencies.
Mr.. Richardson named several
agencies which he accused of stat
ing openly that they were not hir-
ing colored clerical workers during
the liquidation of a wartime agen-
cy, presumably the Office Of Price
Administration,

Now that "Open the Door Rich
ard" is such a nationwide hit, it
wouldn't be amiss to call attention
to the artist who created the line
and still uses it as his trademark.
It's none other than that wonder
full comic, Dusty Fletcher. 1t was
my good fortune to know Dusty
when l handled publicity at the old
Gayety and later at the Alvin
Theatre for Harry Hirsch. Dusty's
use Of this gag line evoked rOars
of laughter even to the crowd back
stage. Dusty has appeared on all
the leading vaudeville circuits but
he always felt at home in bur

theatre" was his explanation of
hurley. In one scene, the shoe
shine shop, he builds up a situation
that's extremely funny in itself but
with the punch line of "open that

and his wife have been one of the

publicity accorded his catch line
will mean something more than
just press clippings.

Gerard Reilly Still Talking

WASHINGTON-(FP)- Gerard D. Reilly, former member of the NLRB who went sour on organized labor even before he helped draft the Taft-Hartley slave labor law, believes the new act retains "the central feat ures of the Wagner act"
 Speaking before a printing industry luncheon, Reilly said "there is danger of certain amount of lawlessness which will discredit the objectives o1 the bill"
 Reilly then got down to real busi- ness when he advised the industrial re- lations section of the group that they could charge the Intl. Typographical Union with refusing to bargain if the ITU should try to make closed shor agreements without benefit of contract
 The former liberal said newspapers could not stop strike to enforce a contract making printing foremen be members of the ITU, but that the un- ion could not force the employer tc sign such contract without being guilty of unfair labor practice under the Taft-Hartley act.

 CHICAGO-Despite record profits and recent rise in passenger fares, the nations railroads formally reject ed demands of 17 incorporating un- ions for a 20c hourly raise. They claimed it would increase their annual payrolls by $524 million, and they "just couldn't afford it."
 WASHINGTON = The AFL has turned thumbs down on calls for a general protest strike against the Taft-Hartley slave labor law, AFL Pres. William Green said after meeting with resident members of his l5-man executive council. Green told newsmen he had re- ceived ''any number of telegrams and letters from AFL leaders across the cOuntry' calling for a general strike, but that he believed such action would be ''unwise and in- advisable."

Court Ruled On
 Only One Phase Of PetrilIo Law

WASHINGTON (LPA)-Labor spokesmen declared this week that newspapers exaggerated the signihc- ance of a Supreme Court decision up holding the "anti- Petril1o" law.
 The Supreme Court reversed the lower tribunal, but only on two oi the grounds: CD it held that the law was not so vaguely" worded as tc be invalid; and (2) that it was moi unconstitutional for Congress to sin gle out one class of workers (those in radio) for regulation.
 ''The high court didn't, in our opinion, go to the guts of the case namely, whether the law curtails the right to strike and picket" de- clared Henry Kaiser, associate of Joseph A. Padway, AFL general counsel. ''That issue and others in- volved in the case must still be tried, and undoubtedly the case will come back to the Supreme Court. When it does, we are hope full of different decisiOn.'
 As to the AFM's claim that the law was unconstitutional because il limited the right to strike and picket for the a1legedly illegal objectives, the Supreme Court declared it was "pre- mature" to, pass judgment.
 "We consider it inappropriate to reach the merits of this constitutional question now," the court declared in its 5 to 5 decision.
 If any attempt is made to enforce the law in such manner as to curb striking or picketing, then the issue can be determined, the court explained.

though the Board disagrees with him. He can settle cases, refuse to issue complaints which the Board might normally accept. He can re- fuse to accept precedents; for ex- ample, the Board could find an un- fair labor practice. The counsel could say he couldn't see it and that ends it. He can Overrule the Board and labor has no legal re- course. He's prosecuting attorney and, just as in our courts-if he doesn't prosecute, that ends it.. If the Board members are self-re- specting they will have jurisdic- tiOnal disputes with the counsel"
 The theory behind the Presidential board of inquiry and the requirement of vote on the employers last officer was seen as almost fantastic. The board of inquiry, the labor expert pointed out, will report on the facts but cannot say anything on the merits of the issue. "All boards of inquiry, the Railway Mediation Board, the boards i'll England and Denmark all provide that the board shall make recommendations. But our boards of inquiry can pile up reams and reams of statistics and facts and do nothing with them.
 SUBTLE STUFF
 ''This bi11," he continued, "was carefully drawn not to put the em- ployer on spot by the recommends tionS of a Presidential board, a spot where he'd be subject to the pressure of public opinion. So what will be voted on by the workers will not be the board of inquiry's recommenda- tlons but the employers last offer. The men who drew this bill were afraid of recommendations after fact finding; they were afraid to ask the employer and the union, Do you ac- cept these recommendations?', but they don't ask that the vote be taken on the unions last offer"
 For example the employers last offer in the coal mines, could be a lO@o wage cut, he pointed out. elf this law were in the public interest it would permit the Attorney Gen. eral to enjoin the wage cut. Instead the employer can make the wage cut and then the Attorney General can enjoin the strike.
 ''The theory is that if workers vote on the employers last offer they will approve it. That's sheer nOnsouso Tbox, xro~s4 TIL. cs.I Connally Act proved that. Some Congressmen figured that with sons and relatives in the armed forces workers would definitely not vote for strike. And if they wouIdn't vote not to interrupt war produc- tiOn they won't vote yes on an em- plOyer's last offer.''
 The general atmosphere from now on" the labor expert predicted, twill
