not enthusiastic.

The Taft-Hartley labor law
blew up a fresh storm over the
Capitol today with former Dem
ocratic Senator Abe Murdock of
Utah caught in the center of it.
The issue before Mr.. Murdock' S
one-time colleagues:
Whether to disapprove his ap-
pointment to the enlarged National
Labor Relations Board because he
voted against restrictive labor union
legislation while in Congress.
Senator Ellender, Democrat, of
Louisiana told a reporter he is con-
fldent Mr.. Murdock will get Sem
ate okay. Senator Thomas, Demo-
crat, of Utah told the Senate Labor
Committee "of course he will be
confirmed" And Senator Donnen,
Republican, of Missouri said he
would support Mr.. Murdock.
But several Republican Senators
left little doubt that they plan to
vote against the farmer lawyer who
was beaten in the last election after
six years in the Senate and eight
years in the House.
The opposition centered around
the very man who beat him-Sena-
tor Watkins, Republican, of Utah.
Senator Watkins confronted Mr.
Murdock at q tlve-hour session of
the Senate Labor Committee last
night and objected strenuously to
the appointment.
Calling Mr.. Murdock IAN ardent
prolabor Official" he said the former
lawmaker could no more admins
ter the new labor act sympathetic
cally than could AFL President
William Green or CIO Chief Philip
Murray.
Senator Watkins, who IS not a
member of the Labor Committee,
declared that Mr.. Murdoch was
heavily obligated" to labor unions
because OF support accorded him
during the campaign last November.
He referred to Mr.. Murdock as a
man I like and have respect for, y
but said he felt the former Senator
was prejudiced against the act he
would be required to interpret.
Denham Questioned.
The committee also questioned
Robert N. Denham, of Washington,
Mr. Truman's choice for general
counsel of the new NRLB, and j.
Copeland Gray, of Buffalo. nomi-
mated as board member.
The next step is for the committee
to vote on the three men-possibly
today.
After that the Senate will act on
them. The matter has to be handled
fast to beat the adjournment set for
Saturday. House action is unneces-
Sary.

Final Action Near
On Service Merger

Unifcation of the armed services
was nearing accomplishment this
afternoon, as the Senate approved
the report of Senate and House con-
ferees. The House is expected to
adopt the final draft later today or
tomorrow and send it to the Presi-
dent.
The bill, placing all uniformed
forces under the general supervision
of the new Secretary OF National
Defense, faced a last minute threat
when Senator Lodge, Republican. of
Massachusetts,. objected to spelling
out the functions Of each branch
and indicated he would rather put
off action this year than tie down
the functions of each service too
rigidly.
After studying the final draft
more closely, Senator Lodge with
drew his objection, explaining he
had concluded the long definitions
of functions insisted ON by the
House would not be insurmountable
obstacles to unified planning OF ma
tional defense.

President Truman indicated
strongly today that he plans to go
to Brazil, but refrained from any
commitment as to possible date.
Asked at his weekly news confer
ence if he could tell us the date
of your Rio trip?" the President said
no, but he added that he would let
it be known as soon as he could, so
reporters would have plenty of time
to get ready to accompany him.
There have been reports that the
President would attend the inter-
American conference which opens
at Rio de Janeiro August IS.
The news conference this morning
probably set an all-time record for
briefness for such affair, lasting
Just a few seconds more than three
minutes.
Asked about reports that former
Senator James M. Mead, Democrat,
of New York, would succeed Post
master General Robert E. Hannegan
as chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee. the President said
he hadn't heard about that one.
He had the same response when
queried about published reports that

Government witness, Joseph Zack
Kornfeder, who changed some of his
earlier testimony.
Mr.. Kornfeder had said he talked
with no Government representative
other than Mr.. Hitz about his rela-
tions with Eisler in Cleveland and
New York in 1888 al 1894. His
first conversation with the Gov
eminent prosecutor, he had added
occurred early last week.
Mr.. Kornfeder said yesterday that
after talking the matter over with
Mr.. HitZ, he recalled once having
visited the FBI Office in Detroit
where he discussed Eisler.
He also had a conversation in
New York last winter with Nelson
Frank, = reporter for the World
Telegram, Mr.. Kornfeder said
Robert Lamphere. a special agent
of the FBI, was present at this
interview, the witness said.
Mr.. Lamphere has been acting as
Mr.. Hits righthand man through
out the Eisler trial. He sits beside
him each day at the counsel table
Closely cross-examined by Mr.
Isserman, Mr.. Kornfeder became
angry and refused at one point to
answer q question, unless it was
asked politely"

Budenz Claims EisIel
Had Red Party Role
Equal 10 Browder's
By NewboId Moves, Jr.

A writer known as Hans Berger,
who the Government says was Ger
hart Eisler, had stature in the
American Communist Party In the
1930s equal to that of Earl Browder,
Louis Budenz testified in District
Court today.
Eisler, .reputed chief Kremlin
agent here, is being tried on the
charge that when he applied for
an exit permit to his native Ger
many in 1945 he fraudulently ne
elected to tell the Government he
had Communist Affiliations here,
had used aliases and had been in
the United States in the 1930s.
Mr.. Budenz, former managing
editor of the Communist newspaper,
the Daily Worker, and now an anti
Communist writer and teacher at
Fordham University, recalled his
testimony before the House Com
mittee on Un-American Activities
last year to the effect that If Hans
Berger" had not had Mr.. Browder's S
party stature his name would not
have appeared, along with that OF
the former party leader, on the
cover of the November, 1912, issue
of The Communist magazine.
Berger Article Cited.
The Berger article in that issue,
which the Government hopes to
show was write nby Eisler. was en-
titled "Our Nation Discovers the
Soviet Union" The only other
authors mentioned on the cover. Mr..
Budenz pointed out, WERE Browder
and B. J. Jerome. Mr.. Jerome ana
Mr.. Browder were associate editors
of The Communist.
Chief Defense Counsel Abraham
J. Isserman subjected Mr. Buoenz
to exhaustive cross-examinatlon re-
earding articles which he said Ber-
ger wrote for the Daily Worker be-
tween 194l and 1945.
Assistant United States Attorney
William Hitz said the Government
hopes to conclude presentation OF its
case against Eisler late today OF
early tomorrow. Whether Browder
will testify for the Government Is
a secret, Mr.. Hitz said. Browder was
listed as a Government witness
when the trial opened July 13.
Departure Blocked.
Mr.. Budenz's disclosures last
year resulted in Eisler's being pre-
vented by the FBI from leaving the
country. He told the jury OF seven
men and five women yesterday that
Eisler, in effect, ran the Daily
Worker in 1885 and 1886. -
Mr. Budenz told of a series
of editorial meetings in the Daily
Worker Offices al which Eisier' as
Edwards" laid down the law to
Clarence Hathaway, then editor OF
the paper.
"Eisler said Hathaway was not
performing his functions properly.
either technically or politically, as
the editor" Mr.. Budenz testified.
HE said Hathaway had no under
standing of the peoples front
policy of the party"
According to Mr.. Budenz, Eisler
savagely berated Hathaway for put
ting his face in the paper too often"
drinking too much, not being criti-
cal enough of John L. Lewis. and
for making the Daily Worker "a
light, careless.y prepared paper"
At these meetings, Mr.. Budenz as
serted, Eisler stood and talked while
everybody else sat and listened.
Nobody, including Mr.. Hathaway,
replied to Eisler's TRADES, the wit
ness added.
1943 Articles Recalled.

dsy was the recalling OF a previous
