Congress Told


tC0HIHued TVOW Tugr NHeJ
of the Clayton and Norris-La-
Guardia Acts, it uses language
which can quite easily be construed
to outlaw any strikes or picket
ing"
Discussing Senator Balls bill,
S. 105, to outlaw the closed shop,
union shop and other union-secur-
ity agreements, Green strongly
emphasized the Importance to labor
of such agreements, saying:
"There is probably no right other
than the right to strike which or
ganized labor deems more conse-
Grated or more indispensable to its
continued maintenance and well
being than the right to seek and
obtain union security agreements
through the process of collective
bargaining"
"The proposal" he further said,
constitutes an arbitrary interfer-
ence with the freedom of contract
guaranteed by our federal constitu-
ton thereby undermining the
very foundation of our free enter
prise system"
Opposing another bill, S. 1873, de-
signed to end industry-wide bar
gaining by single union, Green
declared that "a more retrogressive
proposal could hardly be imagin-
ed" He quoted legal decisions
upholding it and said that under
such proposal "industry-wide
wage stabilization would come to
an end, living standards through
out the country would be depress-
ed collective bargaining would
have no real meaning because it
would be ineffective, and the slo-
gan of equal pay for equal work
would become an empty one inn
possible of realization"
industrial chaos and depression
Of living standards can be the only
results of the passage of S. 1885,"
he added.
In conclusion, Green told the
COMMITTEES:
"The large number of proposals
now before this committee are i'll
considered in the extreme. | say
with full conviction and full SINGER
ity that their enactment would pro-
duce such great industrial confu-
sion as to seriously undermine the
present world position of the
United States. They are promised
on an assumption that is entirely
without merit, namely, that our
problems in labor management re-
lations stem from alleged excesses
in the practices of trade unions.
"The truth is, of course, that |
most, if not all, of those problems
result from basic new forces that |
have developed under the changed
circumstances of the past Is years |
such as our expanded economy |
and our great advancement in ma
chine production with resulting |
manpower displacement; the dlslo-
cations and adjustments caused by |
the depression; the war and the
postwar period; and the social
truths.
at necessarily follows that the
first step that we
must take, if we can hope to cope
with those problems in an intelli-
gent and effective manner, is to
acquire "A complete knowledge and
of those basic for
ces and of those new circumstances
The American Federation of Labor
is prepared to cooperate with this
or any other competent committee
in making such a study"

Probe Of War Lendinq
By RFC Discussed by
Republican Senators
By the Associated Press

A sweeping inquiry into the
Reconstruction Finance Corp. s
handling of war plants and con-
tracts was under discussion to-
day by Republican members of
the Senate War Investigating
Committee.
The Republicans talked of under
taking the inquiry into the RFC as
the first of several to be carried out
| if the life of the group is continued
by the GOP-controlled Senate,
If RIGS war activities are in
vestigated, committee member said,
it is likely that Jesse Jones, former
head of the agency and former Sec
retary of Commerce, will be the first
witness. .-t
The organization provided much
of the financing for wartime indus
trial development either directly or
through an interlocking maze OF
subsidiaries. -~t Aal
Allen May Be Witness. Al
Also high on the list of prospective
witnesses would be George E. Allen,
who resigned last week as an RFC
director after laying before President
Truman a comprehensive plan to
|streamline the agency and take away
many of its wartime powers.
There were indications that the
Republicans have been looking cri-
tically at the RFC. for some time
with the idea of shearing off much
of its authority before deciding
whether to give it a new lease on
life. Its present congressional au-
thorization expires June 80.
Senator Brewster, Republican, Of
Maine, who is expected to head the
new. War Investigating Committee,
told a reporter that Mr.. Aliens Sug-
gestions seemed to be an invitation
for the new Congress to look thor
oughly into the agency's operations.
Under resolution passed by the
last Senate, the committee will be
continued until January 80. There
are four membership vacancies,
caused by the retirement of Sen
ators Mead, Democrat, of New York;
Tunnel, Democrat, of Delaware;
Briggs, Democrat, of Missouri and
Mitchell, Democrat, of Washington.
Senator Mitchells place may go
to Senator Cain, Republican, of
Washington, who defeated him. Re-
publican leaders also are consider
ing the appointment of Senator Nc
Carthy, Republican, of Wisconsin as
la new member.
Appointments to the committee
will be made by Senator Vanden-
berg, Republican, of Michigan as
the Senste's presiding officer. Since
only two Democrats, Senators Kill
gore of West Virginia and Connally
Iof Texas, remain as members, two
additional will be named from that

ABOARD COAST GUARD ICE
BREAKER NORTHWIND, Jan. O.
I have greeted the New Year by fly
ing in a helicopter over floating sea
ice almost 300 miles from Little
America.
About Is minutes before midnight
(6 am. EST, yesterday, stepped
into two-passenger plane. At the
controls was a handsome, 30-year-
old Coast Guard lieutenant named
James A. Cornish of Elizabeth, N. j.
We put on Mae West life jackets,
we're strapped to our seats and the
flimsy machine bumped and shook
as it took of from the wooden plat
form built in the fantail of this
Coast Guard icebreaker.
We went straight up in the air
like an elevator. The icebreaker
Northwind, which was then travel
ing at g. knots, pulled away from
under us.
THE helicopter rose to 1000 teet,
banked, and headed over the Wake
.of the Northwind toward the other
four ships Of the central group of
the Arctic o.lpedition. They are
travelling isingle-fle behind the ice
breaker. #a
(The polar task force Is now
sailing through the ever-thicken-
ing ice pack of Ross Sea. 1t is
bound for the Bay of Whales, a
tiny pie-slice of water cut by
nature out of the solid rock k-shelf
which harbors Little America.)
The four ships looked like tiny
boats in bathtub almost filled with
white fluffy cotton.
Every few yards was chunk of
floating ice AS far as I could see
smaller chunks were punctuated
with gigantic icebergs. Many were
several city blocks square and $50
feet high.
1t. Cornish tapped me on the
shoulder. We were sitting back to
back in the tiny cabin. I lifted the
radio earphones and he shouted,
barely audible above the roar Of two
rotary prope1lers: Look at the
skyline of New York"
I glanced in the direction of his
pointing finger. There was jam
of icebergs in a straight line. They
looked like the cluster of towering
buildings around lower Manhattan.
You could almost identify the
Wooiworth Building.
1t was now nearly midnight, but
the ice and sea reflected the polar
sun. It is summertime down here
in the Antarctic and o brilliant sun
