UNI0NIST SCORES
ACTIONS BY TAFT
Watchmakers President
Says Ohio Using Posi-
ton Against Industry

WASHINGTON, March 14-(P-
President Walter Cenerazzo Of the
American Watchmakers union
Qnd.) today accused Sen. Robert
A.. Taft, R. O., of using his high
position against the best interests
of the American watch industry.
Levelling the same charge
against Former Vice President
Henry A. Wallace and Rep. Eman-
uel Celler, D. N. Y, he told the
House labor committee that all
three have encouraged the impor-
tation of Swiss watches to be sold
in competition to the American
product.
Taft declined comment. He said
he say no reason to dignity"
the charges with an answer.
Cenerazzo describes the Swiss
watch industry as a monopoly"
and said it continued to manufac-
ture watches and other timing
mechanisms during the war while
the U. S. Industry was converted
to war work.
LAS soon as the wal ended" he
said, "the Swiss were allowed to
send 80, GOO, 600 Swiss watches to
our country to the deteriment OF
an indust ! essential to national
defense.'
Lodges Protests
He protested that Taft is a form
er director of the Gruen Watch
CO., an importing concern, and, is
now a member of a law firm
which acts as its legal counsel.
|. Furthermore, he said, Taft's
brother, Charles P. Taft, told a
House committee last year that
the family is a ''heavy stockhold-
err" in the gruen concern.
Cenerazzo also charged that Sen.
Taft last year blocked a Congress-
ional investigation into Swiss
watch imports, adding that he
could produce two Of his Senate
cole agues to sIbstantiate the
claim.
He indicated that n was Sen.
Owen Brewster, r. Me. He quoted
Brewster as having told Taft that
his position in the inquiry was
"untenable."
Taft, he said, answered: $50
what? l am going to do what
want"
'Mr. Taft is for the Swiss i'm
porters bringing in Swiss watches,
he said, ".. (and) is using his
Office as a Senator to protect his
former (Gruen) colleagues"
Soviet Advocate
Describing Wallace as that
| great advocate of the Soviets,"
Cenerazzo said he worked for big
ger Swiss watch imports because
his sister is married to the Swiss
minister to the United States.
Celler, he said, is a member OF
"a law firm representing the i'm
porting Benrus Watch co., and
has FUSED his position as a Con-
gresham on the floor OF the
House and in calls to the State
department to keep Swiss watches
coming into this country"
