|Machinists Get
 NLRB Approval

WASHINGTON = (FP) = The Intl. Assn. of Machinists became the first union in the U. s. to receive a letter of compliance with the Taft Hartley law last week after filing registration forms, financial state ments and constitution and bylaws with the Labor Dept In addition, it had filed affidavits of non-commuhism covering its national officers with the NLRB.
 ! Vice Pres. A. J. Hayes and Sec- Treas. Eric Peterson received the let ter of compliance from Undersecretary of Labor David Morse at a ceremony in the Labor Dept With 1t was the code number 4141, which must accom- pany any petition for election or unfair labor practice compliant to the NLRB.
 Commenting on the procedure, Hayes said the LAM is still opposed to the law and will continue to work for its repeal and the defeat of the men who voted for it." The anti-com- munist provisions, he said, "are really an attack on labor unions and the people they represent The act will ac- complish nothing in stamping out communism

NationalLOCkOut Of. Typos Urged By Trade Paper
Would Use Taft-Hartley Act To Crush Typo
 graphical Union

NEW YORK-(FP)-EditOr & Publisher has invited America's billion dollar publishing industry to stage a nationwide lockout of AFL printers in fight to cram the Taft Hartley law down their throats.
 E & P, leading trade magazine which generally expresses the views of the American Newspaper Publish CTS Assn, made its proposal in an editorial condemning the Intl. Typo graphical Union for its recent con vention decision to get around the new law by abandoning signed con tracts and enforcing the closed shop through unilateral conditions of efn- ployment" posted in each shop
 ''The battle must be fought now, and it must be won even if it means temporarily closing down every printing plant in the country" E & P asserted.
 Describing the ITU decision as "the biggest threat in history" to the free dom of American publishers, E & P said: Tt is time for the newspaper publishers of this country, and other employers of printers, to show some guts and stand up and fight If union members prefer to stupidly throw away their own rights and privileges and refuse to opose this one-man rule, then the publishers will have to carry the fight alone"
 The publishers cannot afford to wait for the outcome of a fight in the courts, E X P said, advising instead head-on clash with the union and calling for the hiring of scabs.
 Adequate printerss can be trained in. six mOnths," it advised. ''It has been done before and news papers have continued to operate under ITU strikes. It can be done again."
 Meanwhile, the ITU's new strategy was the main topic of discussion at a closed ANPA meeting in Chicago More than 300 newspaper executives gathered there heard ANPA general counsel Elisha Hanson hail the Taft Hartley law as ushering in "a new era in employer -employe relations in the US" Hanson said the law would have "a lasting beneficial effect upon our political, social and industrial, economy"

Higher Interest For
 Terminal Leave Bonds ?

WASHINGTON-FP)-Appeal- ing to war veterans with terminal leave pay bonds to hold them as long as possible, Sen. Francis J. Myers (D., Pal pledged his utmost effort Sept 2 toward increasing their value by boosting the interest rate from .21a%o to 69o.
 His bill s. 1705 to increase the in- terest rate, he said, would make these bonds the very best investments in America But I recognize that the murder of price control last year has upset all of our calculations of that period and has resulted in such in decent increase in the price level as to be real hardship on many of our citizens, and particularly on our veterans"

Open Door To Palestine, Says
 GEL Convention
Great Britain's Anti-Jewish Policies Condemned
 By Delegates

Great Britain's policy of virtually closing the doors of Palestine to Jew iSh immigration was condemned by the 62nd convention of the Connecticut Federation of Labor. The convention unanimously passed the following reso- lution, presented by the New Haver Central Labor Council:
 ''RESOLVED, That this 62nd convention of the Connecticut Fed. eration of Labor, takes cognizance of the frightful fact that during World War H, more than six mil. lion unarmed and defenseless Jews, more than a third of all the Jews in the world, were slaughtered by mass murder devices by Hitler's Nazi hordes.
 Two years after the end of the war in Europe the surviving Jews ir Europe are still in tragic bondage, 1iv- ing the life of an uprooted people without home, without means, and almost without hope. They seek tc return to a life of human dignity and self-support. With barriers raised by immigration restrictions or by lines or by prejudice and intolerance in most other countries, they turn to Palestine as their remaining hope The Jewish community of Palestine stands ready to receive them and care for them. Ignores Mandate
 Because of Great Britain's anti Jewish policies, these homeless people are unable to go to Palestine. Great Britain has continued to Haunt the mandate under whose terms she con trols Palestine; has rejected appeals by President Roosevelt and President Truman which called for the opening of the doors to Palestine; and has even rejected the report of the Anglo American Commission, which recon mended the speedy admission to Pal estine of 100000 Jews who now are in displaced camps in Europe.
 Therefore, Be It Resolved, That this convention goes on record re. questing our government to take every possible action to bring pres. sure upon Great Britain to secure the immediate admission of 1OO,. 900 Jews to Palestine and the i'm. mediate provision for free and un' limited immigration to Palestine and free and unlimited purchase of land; that our government take every possible step to bring about the establishment in Palestine of an independent commonwealth as a Jewish National Home with full guarantees of the legitimate in. terests of other national groups and equality of rights and opportunities to all its inhabitants"

Death In The Boxing Ring

Dcuu AH AHS DONHS NtHS
 Two months ago Jimmy Doyle died the day following ring beat ing he received from Sugar Ray Robinson, welter champion. Since then, padded fists have killed youngsters in New England and Cuban rings. Boxing is the golden horned black sheep of sports. Still, football has caused many more deaths than the old black sheep. In one season, 1881, 50 youths died in football warfare.
 Legally and morally there is hypo- critical attitude toward boxing. Inn mediately a slugger dies under blows the killer IS held on technical man slaughter charges. It doesn't make sense.
 I don't believe any fighter ever deliberately tried to kill another fighter. Nevertheless, boxing is the lone sport where the sole aim is to pour physical damage on the other guy.
 The law recognizes this and sanc- tiOns it as a sport. Okay. Why, then, do they arrest boxer for killing an opponent, since it is legally an accident? Arrests never follow football fatalities, although broken necks can usually be traced to the fateful play.
 The last fighter I saw killed i'll the ring was Ernie Schaaf. His opponent, the light-hitting man-mountain, was not to blame Six months previous, Schaaf was slammed unconscious for two hours in the closing seconds of a fight with Maxie Baer. He nearly died then.
 The autopsy showed that Ernie had suffered from pin-point hemorrhages since the Baer brawl. He had also weathered a pneumonia attack. He wasn't fit to fight, but who could tell /? Nobody, not even himself, probably.
 Fighters never know when they are to kill or be killed. Max Baer's blows killed Frankie Campbell. brother of Dolph Camilli, the ball player. Max, without knowing it, was actually bat tering a corpse propped up by the ropes inl the fourth round. At least so al spectator told me
 LUTHER MIG CARTHY
 Once I saw a future heavyweight champion, Jess Willard, then unheard of but who had killed a man in a ring, fight Luther McCarty, regarded as a coming champion. Luther was to die in the ring before becoming champion, however.
 McCarty, superbly musc1ed, had the earmarks of champion In the ring

CALLING FEM STRAIGHT

at Calgary he fought supposed setup, Arthur Pelkey. McCarty collapsed during tame boxing in the first round He died on the canvas eight minutes later. A coroners' jury reported mo blow caused it. Yet death was due to hemorrhage of the brain. Ger tainly a blow caused, it, but what are you going to do about it?
 FIGHT COMMIS. NO HELP
 Boxing commissions. Aren't they helpful? Too much politics, son. Jimmy Doyle narrowly escaped death year before the Robinson disaster. A severe brain concussion from a blow. Officials knew all about that when lie prepared to battle Robinson. Yet they let him fght-and get killed
 Considering the number of bait lers engaged, comparatively few boxers die in the ring. Shuddering heaven must watch over them kind ly. Not with the cynical optimism of Stanley Ketchel's manager when he heard Stanley had been shot and lay dying.
 Ketchel, wonderful middle weight champion, was fanatically courageous. When he went down he always got up. Usually the other fellow wound up senseless. Except the time the farmland plugged Stanley with a bullet. The great fighter didn't get up that time.
 And what did his cynical manager say when the far away news came Ketchel lay dying?
 ''Start counting-he'll get up!''

with exposure to induce pneumonia.
