In this way, union officials be-
lieve that it would be possible to
have the hearings out of the way by
the time the regular session begins
in January. This would save about
six weeks time and might result in
the bills consideration by Congress
in January or. February, officials
feel.
Whether the hearings will be held
during the special session will de-
pend on the attitude of the Re-
publican leadership. If they give
the two committees the green light
the hearings will probably get un-
der way much sooner than If Con-
gress had not been called into spe-
cial session.
Incidentally, it now appears that
the unions will ask for $500 year
cost of living wage increase for all
Government workers.
LOYALTY ANNOUNCEMENT
DUE.-The Federal Loyalty Board
will probably hold its first meeting
here within the next two weeks.
And the Civil Service Commission
will announce the names of the
boards members in a week or so.
Government officials acknowledge
that the success or failure of the
Federal loyalty investigation pro-
gram will depend largely on the
board and its Is or more members
1t will be the boards duty to set
the standards and procedure for the
loyalty program and it will also be
required to act as the final judge in
all loyalty cases.
The tip-off that the board will
be composed of Well-known indi-
viduals, was given py Civil Serv-
ice Commission official when re-
porters asked for biographical
sketches of all the appointees. In
this way, reporters told him, their
papers would be all set when the
appointments were announced.
You don't have to worry about
that" said the official. "All you
will have to do when we announce
the names is to look through Who S
Who!"

Russians Still Holding
BraziI's Ex-Envoy and
Staff in Their Hotel
BY the As.oeiotsd Press

MOSCOW, Oct. 25.-The former
Brazilian ambassador to Russia and
his staff were still confined to their
hotel today under surveillance OF
Soviet plainclothes guards pending
a decision of the Russians on when
to issue them exit visas after the
Russo Brazilian diplomatic break.
A Soviet statement by TasS news
agency yesterday said the visas
would not be issued until safe de-
parture had been assured for the
Soviet embassy staff in Brazil. The
statement charged that Russians
had been insulted and attacked bv
"hooligans" in the Brazilian capital.
Uniformed government sources
at Rio de Janeiro expressed sur
prise over the detention of the
Brazilian diplomats in Moscow.
These sources said there had
never been any indication that
80 Russians, including six diplo-
mats, would be prevented from
leaving Brazil and that prepara-
tions to this end had already
started The Russian diplomats
themselves said they had eX-
pected to leave today but that
they might be delayed pending

two sons, Embassy Counselor
Cardos Buarque de Macedo, his wife
and small son; Secretaries Manuel
Pho Correa, jr., and L. Soroa Garcia
Goina and Mrs. Correa. The staff
members said that while they could
not leave their hotel, their Russian
servants were doing their shopping.
The former Chilean Ambassador,
whose government also has broken
relations with the Soviet Union,
but that he did not know when he
would leave Enrique Bernstein,
Chilean undersecretary of foreign
affairs, said at Santiago that the
Chilean Ambassador apparently is
having difficulty in communicating

Meanwhile, Pravda, Communist

Washington to succeed Nikolai Novi-
kov should not be interpreted as

on the part of the Russians. These

Philadelphia Gains
Favor as Democratic
Convention Site in '&

Philadelphia. with its cash bid OF
s250,000, has emerged as a strong
contender for the 1948 Democratic
National convention even though
some of the high-ranking Demo-
Gratis look with favor on San Fran
cisco. Philadelphia already has been
selected for the Republican con-
vention.
The issue will be settled finally
at meeting of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee Wednesday. The
committee also is expected to elect
Senator McGrath of Rhode 1siard,
to succeed Postmaster General
Hannegan as chairman. Mr.. Ham
negan is resigning because of his
health.
The committee will hold morning
and afternoon sessions IL the May

correspondents.
There has been talk of holding the
convention in Long Beach, near Los
Angeles. But should the conven-
ton go there, many of the visitors
would have to put up in PullrTan
cars and motorcourtS. ChicagO,
scene of many Democratic conven-
tlons in the past, is reported to have
so many other conventions sched-
uled for next June and July that
it would not be practical to mold
the Democratic convention there.

Employe rights are greatly en-
larged, rather than curtailed, under
the Taft-Hartley Act, the United
States Chamber of Commerce said
yesterday in a study analyzing the
aims of the new labor management
law.
Noting the position taken by la
Dor unions that the workers free
dom has been lessened the chamber
said its study showed instead that
employees will gain substantial
benefits.
The guarantees of the Wagner
Act, which assured employees free
dom of organization and of collec-
tive bargaining, have been retained
unchanged, the chamber pamphlet
said
Further 1t points out that specific
regulations have been laid down to
govern the activities of employers
and unions designed to assure more
harmonious labor re-
lationships.
The chamber document said that
not only have employees been
granted expanded rights to present
grievances, but that they also may
now individually file charges of un-
fair labor practices on election pc
titions.
The analysis stressed that the
right to strike remains substantially
unimpaired. 1t noted that the en-
ploye is expressly granted the right
to join the union of his choice, or
not to join union at all. 1t said
the worker also is given added
financial protection in those clauses
governing the handling OF welfare
funds and the like.

Withdrawal of American forces
from Germany would again
lead to pogroms," Rabbi Philip
S. Bernstein, a former adviser
on jewish affairs said to the
United States military governor
yesterday.
The Rochester IN " rabbi, in
a report to the Army, also warned
of increasing friction between
American soldiers and Jewish dis
placed persons.
Discussing continued German
anti-Semitism, he said that recent
Army studies of German attitudes
indicate that six out of every 10
Germans would condone overt acts
against Jews.

that there must be no such with
