6. 0. P. Delays Action
On NLRB Nominees
Until Next Session
By the Associated Press

Senate Republican leaders were
said today to have decided to put
three labor law nominees "on good
behavior" until Congress meets
again In January by delaying action
until then on their nominations.
A high Republican, said no at
tempt will be made on the last day
of the congressional session today
to act on President Truman's ap-
pointment Of two members of the
National Labor Relations Board and
a general counsel.
These nominees include Abe Muir
dock, former Democratic Senator
from Utah, whose nomination some
Republicans opposed bitterly in
pointing to what they termed Mr.
Burdock's "pro-labor' record as a
lawmaker.
The two others are Robert N.
Denham, of Washington, nominated
as NLRB general counsel, and j.
Copeland Gray, of Buffalo, named
as a member of the board. All
three won approval of the Senate
Labor Committee yesterday.
A Democratic Senate leader said
that If the Senate fails to act, Mr..
Truman will give the trio interim
appointments" shortly after Con-
gress adjourns. This would let them
serve during the congressional re-
cess without Senate confirmation.
A number of Republicans object
to Mr.. Murdock's nomination be-
cause in his Congress votes he op-
posed bills that would restrict labor
unions.
The Senate yesterday defeated a
proposal by Senator Ball, Republi-
can, of Minnesota, to withhold SAL
aries of any of the trio who are not
confirmed. Senator Ball and Sen
ators Taft, Republican, of Ohio,
and Jenner, Republican, of Indiana,
voted against Mr.. Murdock and Mr..
Gray in the Labor Committee.
Mr.. Gray is Republican and an
industrial relations counsel by pro-
fession. Mr.. Denham is an NLRB
trial examiner now.
