WASHINGTON, Oct 21.-,R-- The Supreme Court has kept hands off Los Angeles new "anti-nudism' ordinance.

Union In Tighf Spoi
 Says Officer
UNIV District 50 0ui on Limb win No Chance
 for NLRB Support

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2l.--tR- District 50 of the United Mine Workers, the catch-al union John L. Lewis threatens to use anew in waging organizational war on rival labor groups, is in a tight spot.
 It lacks any chance for National Labor Relations Board support.
 The way has been cleared for all AFL unions to make use of NLRB facilities if their leaders wish and the heads of virtually all Federation affiliates have in- oicated they will take such neces- sary qualifying steps by signing Communism certificates.
 But Lewis refusal to meet any of the Hartley Act require ments in his all-out opposition to the law leaves his District 50 perch ed on a shaky limb. It plainly will have to fight hard to hold on to what it has now, let alone make inroads on other unions.
 One District 50 official familiar with the problems involved ex- presses the opinion that Lewis mis- ceilaneous union will have to win heavy employer backing to survive.
 That is rot to suggest that any Lewis union would be a company union" But it does mean that without recourse to collective bar gaining elections through the NLRB each District 50 union will have to dtpend upon overwhelming the strength of numbers in shop or plant to convince the boss that it has the majority required to force 8 contract.

CONGRESS SPENDS S17,10O TO "CAN"
 S0lONS' SPEECHES

WASHING. ON - This is the "Fireside chat" era of national poli- tics, and nobody is working harder at it than Congressmen.
 They are sensitive about the pub lie money that executive depart ments spend for government pub licity, but this year they voted themselves, personally. s17loo for exactly that purpose.
 The $17,100 pays the staff of a recording service. which about 300 members of the House and Senate used last year to make transcript tions of speeches
 The transcriptions are mailed back home to local radio stations for regular weekly, or even semi weekly broadcasts.
 A Congressman gets reports from friends on what his enemies are saying and writing about him and he can go on the air right on his home ground a few days later with a full reputtal.
 This practice has become popu- lar supplement to the news letters that many Congressman send to select mailing lists of important voters and to newspapers in their districts
 Rep. Edwin A. Hall (R-N.Yo combines the two. He puts the two scripts Of his weekly broadcastS in the Congressional Record, then can mail reprints of it to the folks back home.
 Up to now, both Senators, and House members have used the same cramped studio, tucked away under the caves of the old House office building.
 Some of the time last session a public relations employee of the Re- publican National Committee was on duty to help COP Congressmen with their speeches.
 The Congressmen can speak from notes, a script or off the cuff He can get as many copies of the tran scription as he wants He pays only for the materials used
 All last session Rep. Dirksen (R.- Ill.) dropped in twice week to record 15-minute speech. They were extemporaneous. DirkSen nev e. I needed to make a record over to correct mistakes.
 Others prepare their scripts care fully and rehaarse them. Then they listen to play-backs and occasionally repeat the recording to get it just the way they want it.
 Few make more than one tran scription a week, but Coar remem- bers that Senators Cain tR.-Wash) and Pepper I,-Fla) sometimes sent out 20 or more a week last year. Usually. though they were merely that many copies of the same speech.

Experts Warn Against
Postwar Paint Claims

Specialists of the Forest Pro-
ducts Laboratory of the u. S.
Department of Agriculture eau
ton farmers not to be miSled by
extravagant claims about post
war paints, Washington Agricul-
tural Extension service says. The
specialists point out that during
the war, research was directed
almost wholly toward develop
ing fast-drying easily applied,
Iow-coSt paints for Short-lived
war equipment. Little was done
to improve the lasting quality
of paint under ordinary weather
conditions, and wartime develop
ments have little application to
house and barn paints of the type
the farmer can put on and main
tain conveniently.
The Department scientists say
the so-called PLASTIC" paints are
mostly ordinary paints with new
and misleading names. True,
most manufacturers state the COM
position of their paints in formu-
las printed on the labels, but
the formulas are given in form
convenient for chemical analy-
SITS, but they are hard for any,
one else to understand. The de-
partment men say that if paints
were classified in some straight
forward way they could advise
paint users about. how to use each
kind properly. AS it is, they
can't.
They suggest that pure white
lead paint is a first-rate paint
for farmers to use because it
wears well and leaves an easy
surface to prepare for further
painting. But the durability of
paint increases with depth of col
or. The most durable paints are
dark in color, like red barn paint.
Even a little colored pigment adds
to the life of paint. A medium
gray or buff-colored paint will
last nearly 6 years, where
white paint of similar quality
will need repainting after 4 years.
