AFL UNIONS
 SIGN UNDER
 LABOR LAW
Three Alaska Ports Renew Their Longshore
 Agreements

The agreements signed last week between steamship operators and members of the International Longshoremen's Association, AFL cover three Alaska ports and three Puget Sound ports. Additional in- formation received here today states that these longshoremen did not ask for any waiver of rights giv- en the employers in the Taft Hartley Law.
 In Alaska, longshore unions now signed up for another year are those in Petersburg, Skagway and Kodiak. Puget Sound ports where ILA unions have signed are Ia coma, Port Angeles and Anacortes
 Agreements with ILA foremen and checkers also were renewed at these ports without change
 CIO longshoremen, however, still were holding out for contracts which would absolve the unions from any liability under the new labor law, holding Juneau. Ketch- ikan and other CIO Alaskan ports strikebound.
 The AFL longshore compliance with the Taft-Hartley Act might mean that AFL unions will move to establish locals and sign con- tracts for the striking CIO ports They could do so under the pro- lection of the new labor law and such a move would saw the limt out from under the CIO locals irl Alaska.

HARTLEY SEES
 TEETHNEEDED
 IN LABOR ACT
Public Needs More Real Protection Against
 Nationwide Strikes

WASHINGTON, 1.ug. 25.-R- Chairman Hartley (R-ND of the House Labor Committee, said to- day the Taft-Hartley Act "does not have enough teeth in it to give the public real protection against nationwide strikes"
 The co-author of the new labor measure said he will try to have Congress remedy the situation next year.
 Hartley told reporters the mea- sure of necessity was compromise document. adding that it's machin- cry to stop strikes docs not go far enough"
 Under the act the government is authorized to obtain court in functions against nationwide strikes endangering health and safety.
 At the very best" Hartley said, this only stalls a strike off for 85 days. There may be some means of extending the injunc- tions for additional 85 day periods but even this is doubtful"
 The Labor Committee head said he plans to press for enactment of the monopolistic strike section of the original Hartley bill.
 This provision failed to win Sen- ate approval and was discarded from tine final draft of the act which became a law over President Truman's veto. 1 it defined as a monopolistiG strike a walkout resulting from "any conspiracy, collision or con- certed plan of action between em- ployees of competing employers where the employees are not repre-. sented by the same union.

THREE NATIONS CHARGED WITH
 GREEK TROUBLE
Sharp Accusing Note Sent by U. 5. Following
 Govt. 5 Collapse

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-R- The United States has formally accused Albania, Bulgaria and Iugoslavia of supporting guer- rllla warfare in Greece and declar- ed international action is needed to keep peace in the Balkans.
 These views were set forth in a State Department document re- leased within hours after news of tEe collapse of the Greek gov- ernment. There were indications, however, that the statement had been long prepared and that it's timing had no relation to the fall of the Maximos cabines.
 In fact, some officials said pri- vately that they regarded the col lapse of the Athens Government as presenting a welcome opportun- ity for the Greeks to set up a new and more efficient regime which could, with continued American help, speed restoration of the coun-  bry's economy.
 The charges against the Greeks Communist dominated neighbors were leveled in State Depart ment formal document bundling up reports of the United Nations group which earlier this year in vestigated allegations the Northern Greek frontier had Leen violated had been violated by the three countries.
 The statement said the LIN docu- ments clearly showed that Al bania, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia have openely and defiantly reject ed any cooperation with the in- yestigating group.

TEST OF TAFT
 HARTLEY LAW IS IN MAKING
NLRB Decides Issue in Fav. or of Communist
 Headed Union

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25. - R- The possibility of quick test of the Taft Hartley labor laws anti-Com- munist provisions arose today in q. National Labor Relations Board de-! cision.
 The board ruled, 2 to 1, that the Geraldine Novelty Company, Inc., of Gloversville, N. Y, must reinstate eight employees who were members of the CIO Fur and Leather Work. CTS, and to cease and dissent from discriminating against them.
 The decision was handed down Aug. 21 the day before the Taft Hartley law became fully operative in its new provisions affecting the National Labor Relations Board. The head of the Fur and Leather Workers is Ben Gold, an avowed Communist.
 The Taft Hartley law bars NLRB aid to unions, unless their officers file affidavits disavowing Commun- ist affiliations.
 The crucial question presented in this case now is whether She board will enforce its decision ill the event the company refuses to put it into affect. Tn the absence of an affi- davit declaring the union officers are not Communists. the board might take the view that the union has no standing under the Taft Hartley act and therefore might de- cline to press for enforcement.
 If the board decided that the union did not have standing on Aug. 21 when the decision was handed down, and prior to that when the offenses took place, then the company might appeal.

L0NG5H0RE UNION NOT
 CRIMINALS
District Attorney Says Present Strike Not Basis
 for Criminal Action

Chances for the criminal prose- rution of striking local longshore- men appear to be temporarily Btalemated by the lack of more con- crete information than is avaii- able at present. The action was demanded last week by the Juneau Chamber of Commerce in an ef- fort to halt the present strike of ILWU members in three Alaskan ports.
 U S. District Attorney P. J. Gilmore, Jr., clarified the situa- tion this morning from a legal standpoint. He said: Tt appears that these facts and circumstances, surrounding the present or exist ing controversy, in no way consti- ute a criminal violation of the Hartley labor law. If any facts would appear to constitute a violation, these should be brought to the attention of the U. s. At torneys office"
 Gilmore gave assurance that if any evidence is subm tied or ob- tained which would constitute a criminal violation of the Taft Hartley law or any other Federal or Territorial statute, the parties involved will be vigorously prose- cuted.
 Private Attorneys Concur
 Pricate attorneys, in Juneau, were also consulted today on what should be done to rectify the sit- uation. Most offhand comments were in similar vein with that of Gilmore's but other formal opin- ions are expected to be published within the next few days. Of those immediately available, former Dis trict Attorney Howard D. Stabler expressed the opinion that after a further study of the Taft-Hart- ley labor law, criminal conspiracy

WASHINGTON James F. Byrnes, tigger-smart former Sec retary of State now practicing law in Washington, has been following the Administration foreign policy with intense interest This is par ticularly true as regards relations with Soviet Russia, with whom Byrnes had protracted, and at times painful, encounters during a number of conferences.
 An old friend asked Byrnes ii he though it was possible for the US. and the U.S.S R. to reach a better understanding. This is Byrn- es' reply:
 T think it is, and this is my formula. Get people who believe that we can find basis for work ing with the Russians. Then sup port these people to the limit. When they start getting discour- aged and synical, replace them with others who are confident that a solution can be found.

Olivia de Havilland who won it.
Brief Encounter" will be around
la long time, to set long-run rec
ord that will be hard to beat, but
it is the sheerest folly to delay
seeing it an hour longer than is
necessary.
Romantic love, the dramas most
irresistible theme, has not been so
irresistibly handled in years.
Brief Encounter" fashioned by
Coward from a one-act fragment
which was produced for the first
time in Washington II years ago,
is brilliantly fresh treatment of
its theme It triumphantly rejects
the notion that there is nothing
dramatic in unwanted, unrequited
and unselfish love between two hu-
mans who have passed the fires Of
youth. 1t achieves this through a
blending of the charming, the poig-
nant, and the humorous which
demonstrates that Coward is a lit
erary magician who belongs in a
class apart. He knows all the tricks
between laughter and tears and he
works them with endlessly fascinat-
ing variations in the Hippodromes
new screenplay.
Brief Encounter" is the simplest
of love stories, and just about the
most touching in years.
Its heroine is Laura lesson, a
suburban English housewife who
goes to nearby Milford on Thurs
days to give life the special sparkle
Of day away from home. In the
station there, waiting for the SAB
one day, she meets DR.. Alex Harvey.

been played on this theme, but not
in Brief Encounter" 1t is unique,
and exhileratingly dramatic in
choosing to treat the subject in an
exalted way.
Coward's heroine and hero are
decent people, SO decent they have
no choice but to behave decently.
Both are married. Each respects
his marriage vows. Neither resorts
to the impulse of all-for-love, nor
to the subterfuge that either mar
riage is less than happy. Nor do
they, on the other hand, fancy
themselves as nobly sacrificial.
They simply behave as two humans
named Laura Jesson and Alex Har-
vey,i being themselves, must behave.
The amazing quality of Miss
Johnsons performance, and that Of
Trevor Howard, is that they can
make the restraints of their passion
so much more exciting than the all
out emotion which besets most Gin
ema romantics. Very little happens
to them. They have luncheon at
Milford's shoppers restaurant,
snatch spots of tea in the railway
station lunchroom, attend the
cinema, and go for a row on the
park lagoon.
Out Of these commonplace in
gradients, they brew an ecstacy
which they communicate to the
spectator in its every minute detail.
The contrast between the gay and
grave is perfectly pointed in Brief
Encounter" For all their reserve,
they are not dull people. Laura can
say, as wittily as Noel Coward him
self: why not? We are middle
aged only once" when Alex asks if
he may take her to the cinema. And,
just as quickly and convincingly she
can switch to heart-break for this
is "a romance that, in its quiet way,
explores the acceptable high and
deep moments of wayward passion.

brief Encounter" is piquantly a
picture that ends ,unhappily with
out being an unhappy picture, a
trick that would be wonderful if
only Hollywood could master it.
1t deals with a love that is
doomed by the very natures of its
lovers, but far too satisfyingly to
leave the feeling of depression in
the spectator.
The aura of honesty is evident in
every foot of Brief Encounter"
Miss Johnson's selection as Laura
lesson is casting perfection. This is
true not merely because she has the
competence to explore and disclose
the subtle aspects of a novel ro-
nance, but because she is beautiful
ly lacking in cinematic beauty.
Although carrying far less of the
burden of the story, Howard gives
an equally searching and satisfying
performance. Beyond these two,

his usual brilliant job of casting
subordinate parts.
