Formerly it was unlawful for cor

adds expenditures.
Both AFL and CIO unions have
tried to defy the act by printing
political comment, including the

gress.
However, Mr. Murray provided op-
portunity for the first real test OF
the law in an election campaign.

Senator Taft has secuted such an

pressed the view last May that such

Democrats Charged Freeze"
Mr.. Biddle was called before the
committee last May when Demo-
cratic members said they would de-
mand a showdown with the Re-
publican majority on the appoint
ment. Senator Vandenberg at the
time would not say when 1t was be-
ing held up. He said only that the
usual flow of complaints" had been
received against the nomination. but
none of sufficient force to require
calling of witnesses.
Democratic members at that time
reported Senator Vandenberg had
placed an informal freeze order on
the nomination.
In letter to the President dated
June 80, Mr.. Biddle said: " '@t-"

of CIO unions in the district cast
their votes for Judge Garmatz."
Mr.. Murray banged away at the
Taft Hartley Act, saying that it
"fagrantly flaunts fundamental
principles" of American life, includ-
ing the Constitution, and adding
that he would be "remiss" if he did
not take affirmative action to strike
down unconstitutional laws" through
the courts.
q. I take this opportunity to
urge that all members of the CIO
residing and voting in the Con-
gressional district in which this cleo
ton is scheduled to take place cast
their votes for Judge Garmatz, and
make every effort to bring to their
neighbors and friends and to all
persons eligible to vote in this elec-

issues involved and of the impor-
tance of voting for Judge Garmatz." "

Mr.. Murray ordered the current

The committee also declares that it
has photostatic copies of letters
which show beyond question of
doubt that representatives of the

attempting to organize the members
of the union but any others they
could into the Communist Party"
The committee also finds" the

The committee also reported that
its investigation disclosed that sew
eral years ago Mr.. Travis was "ex-
pelled" from the United Steel
Workers because Of disruptive and
factional activities.
THE committee is firmly con-
vinced," the report states, that
Maurice Travis and other interna-
tional officers Of the UMMSW have
allowed the influence of the Com
munist party to interfere with the
internal affairs of the union. The
committee. further finds that 1t is
impossible to prevent friction and
confusion in an international union
having as its president one who has
been expelled by another union OF
the CIO."
The committee indicated that Mr.
Reid quit the unions presidency SO
that Mr.. Travis could take over the
Office.

committees report aroused wide
spread interest in labor quarters

Reuther Challenges
Labor Act by Political
Plea in JAW Paper
By the Associated Press

DETROIT, July 12-President
Walter p. Reuther Of the CIO United
Auto Workers, in what he called
deliberate and conscious defiance"
of the Taft Hartley labor law, cam
paigned in his unions newspaper
today for and against congressional
candidates.
Writing in the July issue Of the
United Automobile Worker, Mr..
Reuther said he chose his subject
matter both to discuss rival candi-
dates for Congress in Pennsylvania
and Maryland and to challenge the
new laws constitutionality.
The latter purpose Mr.. Reuther de-
seribed as a studied intervention
to challenge specific clause of the
law bearing on expenditure of
union funds In support of candi-
dates for political office.
Invites Prosecution.
A press release from NAW-C1O
hea dquarters quoted from. Mr.. Reu-
theirs column and said that in 1t
the union head invited prosecution
of himself and the union for an
acknowledged violation" of a pro-
vision in the act. The release said
the UAW-CIO's International Ex-
ecutive Board approved.
This provision, Mr.. Reuther wrote,
holds it unlawful for any labor or
eanization to make a contribution
or expenditure in connection with
any election at which presidential
or vice presidential electors or
Senator or Representative in Con-
gress are to be voted for" Reuther
said he was quoting the act.
In the column Mr.. Reuther urged
election to Congress of Philip
Storch in Pennsylvania and Ed
ward Garmatz in Maryland. He
urged defeat of Franklin Lichen-
wald and Frank Panetti, their re-
spective rivals.
The financing" of his unions
paper. a monthly, was explained by
Mr.. Reuther in order, he said, to
show there was mo question" that
his column docs violate the law"
Points to Use OF DueS.
Five cents of the monthly dues CT
each of the 100000 UAW members
are set aside for publication costs,
Mr.. Reuther said, adding:
There can be no question what
severe that the advocacy in its col
umns of the election or defeat OF
a candidate for political office con-
stitutes an expenditure Of union
funds in behalf of or in opposition
to the candidate
The JAWS press release quoted
sponsors" of the law as holding
that it would apply in such in
stances as Mr.. Reuther mentioned.
Mr.. Reuther said. the provision in
question was ban on freedom OF
the press" He expressed hope for
a decision from the Supreme Court.
I'VE of labor he said, seek to
impose no gag on the conservative
commercial press. We are resolved,
however, to protect the constitu-
tional right of our members to an
untrammeled hearing in the free
market of ideas through their own
publications"
