THE PEN

When the late DR.. John H. FIN
ley, then editor of the New YORK
Times, was in charge of the REQ
Cross in Palestine, during World
War I. he devised various work
projects for refugees, including
the making of penholders. with a
red cross at the top. One of these
mementoes from Jerusalem has
been on my desk through these
years. preaching to me the mes
sage:
BE sure that all you write is in
the ros spirit. When tempted
to set down harsh and censorious
and selfish words, behold the
cross, red-stained in deepest SYM
bolism. With this pen from the
Land of the Saviour, let only kind
and ~serviceable and sacrificial
words be inscribed. Every letter,
every article should bear the brand
of the Lord Jesus"
A cross on the altar of a church
is no more religious than a cross
over every machine, every desk,
every pen, every service of the
world.
BY Thy cross we are saved q
Christ; and by Thy cross we would
serve, In all the everydayness of
! life. Amen.

a nerve does not often occur, but
undue pressure on a nerve can af-
feet it temporarily. If we sit On a
chair SO that a sharp edge presses
the nerves of our leg, We may find
that our foot "goes to Sleep"
What has happened is that pres
sure has affected the nerves serv-
ing the foot, and by comprising
their fibers has made them incap-
able of transmitting impulses. On
attempting to rise, we cannot feel
our foot because the sensory
nerves have been pressed, and we
cannot direct the foot to act be-
cause the motor nerves have been
pressed. The foot is numb. Gradu-
ally the nerves recover as the
pressure is removed. and We get
the tingling We call pins and
needles"
Why Do We Say Sugar Is Sweet?
This is a question which can be
answered only in a way. There is
a certain area on the surface OF
the brain which is the real seat
of the sense of taste. From or to
this place there run at least four
perhaps more, sets Of nerves, the
ends of which are in the taste
bulbs of the tongue and part OF
the throat. One set of these nerves,
when it is excited, arouses in the
brain the feeling which we call a
sweet taste. The thing which speei-
ally excites this particular set of
nerves is sugar.
But no one has the least idea
why sugar should not taste salty,
or why salt should not taste sweet

Wage Hike

AKRON, Dec. 10 (LPA) -
Local unions of the United Rub

called on by the international
executive board to meet TO work
out in detail their wage demands

"Our union has no other
choice but 10 demand a third
round of wage increases, stated
URW International Vice-Presi-
dent II. r, Lloyd. 1--WE had hoped
that Congress will pass some
legislation that will not make 1t

Smith said you see yourselves, "

they only way you can keep

Schwellenbach replied. He re-
ferred to the fact that he was
the only Secretary of Labor
who ever came up on the Hill
and opposed all of the labor
organizations" He explained his
non consultation with the unions
on the grounds that until there
was real evidence that Congress
was going to act on the rest of
the Truman anti-inflation pro-
gram labor couldn't possibly
support wage controls.

Gray Murdoch
Given Senate
OK For NLRB

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10
nPA) - Sen. Robert Taft
(R., o. reversed himself last
week as the Senate Labor
Committee voted to approve
the appointments of fomer Sen.
Abe Murdock 3D., Utah) and j.
Copeland Gray as members OF
the National L a b or Relations
Board.
The Committee unanimously
recommended their confirma-
ton along with the appoint
ment of NLRB General Counsel
Robert Denham. However, in
the last session of Congress the
Committee split 10 to three for
confirmation of Murdock and
Gray with Taft one of the three
voting against the two nomi-
nees.
Taft said his change of heart
was caused by the fact that both
men - now serving under in
terim appointments = have
done a good job up to date" :"
That also was the opinion of
Sen. Joe Ball (R., Mimi who
originally opposed Murdock be-
cause he feared that Murdock,
a former New Deal senator,
could not be in full sympathy
with the purposes of the Taft
Hartley law.
Three other Truman nomina-
tions were also unanimously
approved: David A. Morse to be
Undersecretary of Labor; John
Kmetz to be Assistant Secretary
of Labor; and Cyrus Ching to
be director of the new Federal
Mediation & Cancellation Serv-
ice. Taft said that all six nomi-
nations may come up for con-
firmation during this session if
time can be found.
Another Truman nomination
met tougher shedding when
President John l.. Lewis, of the
United Mine Workers-AFL, re-
opened his attack on DR.. James
Boyd named as head of the
Bureau of Mines. Lewis oppo-
sition prevented Boyd's confir-
nation after he was nominated
for the post last March.

NLRB Rejects
30oo AmidoVifS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10 -
(LPA)-Nearly 30% of the Taft
Hartley affidavit forms SUBJ
mitted to the NLRB have been
rejected because they failed to
satisfy the letter of the anti
labor law, NLRB General Coun-
sci Robert Denham announced
last week.
Most common fault among
local unions is their failure to
furnish the membership with the
same financial data required to
be filed with the Secretary of
Labor. Simply posting a copy
of the financial report on a
bulletin board or to announce
that the books are open to any
one who wants to look at them
is not sufficient, Denham as
serted. unions must endeavor
to distribute copies of the re-
quired data to all their mem
bers."
Another error which has de-
layed acceptance of the affidavits
has ben failure of local unions
to send their forms direct to the
nearest regional office, rather
than m +ha NT'RP i, Waso;ro
ton. Only international unions
should file in Washington, he
Still another pitfall has been
the failure of local unions to file
anti-Communist affidavits for

Hartley law requires that tffe'
be filed by every per-
son who is specified as an officer

sci. Robert Denham, charged
by. both union and Congress
siohaf Headers with acting like
a 'fabor car" is apparently
taking that title seriously IN
flatly refusing to bargain with
a union of NLRB employees.
The NLRB Employees Union,
an independent organization,
said last week that Denham is
guilty of practices that would
be Termed illegal if committed
by private employer. To this
Denham replied, THAT might
be, under the Wagner Act, but
this is under the Taft-Hartley
Act"
The union, in a brief asking
the full Board to curtail Den
hams dictatorial powers over
personnel, said that Denham
declared he would agree to
nothing; that there could be no
union agreement in govern
ment service and that he would
not post job vacancies because
such action would be sham. "
81 am the best judge of who
is qualified" /" the union quoted
Denham as saying. when l

any mistakes. I'm not going to

Carey Cites Statements
Carey cited statement after
statement by Russian and French
WFTU delegates at previous
meetings to the effect that one
of the prime purposes of the
WFTU must be to prepare and
participate in a program of help
to devastated and needy Euro
pean nations.
The CIO leader gave the
Bureau the results of recent
CIO survey which showed the
attitudes towards the Marshall
Plan of public groups. 1t re-
vealed support of farm, labor,
veterans, religious and civic or
ganizations and the general pub
lie while the chief opposition
came from conservative business
groups such as the U. S. Cham
Der of Commerce.
Carey emphasized that the best
way of checkingmating any form
of totalitarianism is by giving
free trade union movements the
opportunity to grow democrat
ically and make their own de-
cisions. Hunger and deprivation
will work in the opposite direc-
ton, he said.
The next WFTU Congress will
be held in Brussels in September,
Carey said, and although there
is a likelihood the European aid
may become an issue
it is not certain.
