Truman Will Appoint
David A. Morse as
Labor Undersecretary

President Truman will appoint
David A. Morse Undersecretary Of
Labor as soon as the necessary
papers are placed before him, Secre-
tary of Labor Schwellenbach an
nounced yesterday.
Mr.. Morse has been Assistant
Secretary of Labor since July /,
1946.
In his new post, he will succeed
Keen johnson, former Governor of
Kentucky, who resigned July 81 to
return to private industry.
At a news conference, Secretary
SchWellenbach also revealed he had
decided he could not permit the
general public access to registration
data filed by unions under the Taft
Hartley Act. He explained state
1nents of the legislation's sponsors
made clear the data should not be
publicized.
Financial Data for Members.
Any member of a local union
would be permitted to examine the
financial and other statements
filed by his local or international
union, however, he added.
Secretary Schwellenebach said
members of Congress could obtain
the information through the Senate
and House committees concerned.
He pointed out employers would
not be able to inspect the registra-
ton forms on request but could chal-
lepge accuracy of a particular one
during National Labor Relations
Board proceeding; which would lead
to disclosure of the data it contained.
The job of mailing forms to
unions is in progress, but relatively
few may be filed before the act be-
comes effective August %, Secre-
tary Schwellenbach said. A sub
Stantial number of unions may. re-
frain from filing until they have a
case for NLRB action, he stated.
Welcomes Court Test.
Taking notice of a request that
the press be permitted to inspect the
''iiip4IICo I1SloGl cllOll lOl Ills, oGCI6-
tary Schwellenbach said it was his
opinion he could not accede without
risking a damage suit by union.
He added, however, he would well
come court test of the matter.
In response to questions, he said
he did not think his opposition to
enactment of the Taft-Hartley Act
before it became law precluded his
participation in conscientious ef-
fort to administer it and declared he
. had no plans to resign.
Now that the Cancellation Service
Is to leave his Department under
the new law, Secretary Schwellen-
bach said he is looking forward to
an opportunity to speak freely his
opinions on labor relations. He said
he had considered it improper to
take sides on labor questions while
the service was Labor Department
activity.
