Mr.. Savoretti testified from I'm
migration Service records that
Eisler was asked at Calexico If he
had ever been afflliated with the
Communist Party in any manner.
The witness said his answer was
no"
When Eisler testified two days
ago he admitted applying for mem
bership in the Communist Party in
Germany in 1926, that it was ap-
proved, but that he never was a
member in the real sense. He
testified that he had since taken
out first papers to become an
American citizen.
Pointing to Eisler's conflicting
testimony, Mr.. Thomas told news
men he believes this is a true case
for the Justice Department"
Discretion of Consuls.
A suggestion that Congress itself
paved the way for the controversy
over whether Eisler was entitled
70 admission by vesting too much
discretion in hundreds of American
consuls throughout the world was
advanced last night by Norman Lit
tell, counsel for two former high
State Department officials.
AS counsel for Sumner Welles
former Undersecretary of State, and
George S. Messersmith, former
Assistant Secretary, Mr.. Littell said
in statement. that the COM
mittee's use of correspondence be-
tween those officials and Mrs. Flea
nor Roosevelt constitutes a mis-
leading account of the admission
Of Hams Elsler for permanent resi-
dence in the United States" Early
in the hearings it was brought out
Mrs. Roosevelt sent a note to Mr.
Welles in January. 1899, asking him
to review the Eisler case.
Counsel Authorized Entry.
Although much of yesterday s
testimony dealt with correspondence
among various State Department
officials following receipt of Mrs.
Roosevelt's note. Mr.. Littell con-
tended that, when Eisler finally
obtained admittance through the
consulate at Mexicali none of the
top officials in the State Depart
ment was aware of it.
However" Mr.. Littell continued

tribunal trying % of the Farben
combines directorate was told to-
day.
The prosecution submitted docu-
ments compiled by American inter-
rogators from employees who work ed
in Frankfurt's Farben headquarters
| Karl Won Heider, a sort of office
manager, said in an affidavit that
Farben's own intelligence unit
ordered the burning of records which
covered dealings affecting the re-
armament of Germany. Among
these documents were minutes of
Farben meetings in which workings
OF the huge combine were discussed
frankly, the affidavit said.
Foreign Dealings Shown.
Won Heider said the burned docu-
ments included statistics showing
Farben's dealings abroad. political
contributions, records of plants used
for poison gas manufacture, records
of transactions involving Farben
rubber plants, correspondence or
German-Swiss cartel agreements
copies of international agreements
on sodium sulphide and zinc chlo-
ride, quarterly reports on personne

Earlier, statement by American
strategic bombing experts that tht
end of the war could have beer

monia and explosives plants in Ger.
many as primary aerial targets was
written into the records of the court
| The opinion was expressed in a
survey by United States Air Forces
headquarters in Washington, sub
mitted during the trial.
TT is believed that a serious mis-
take was made in not selecting
ammonia and explosive plants as
primary targets" the survey said
Elimination of either of them al
earlier stages of the war would un-
doubtedly have meant an earlier de.
feat of Germany. 1t is difficult tc
understand why these targets were
neglected."
The survey added that destruction
OF two Farben hydrogen peroxide
plants-the only two of their kind in
Germany-would have seriously
affected" her capacity to launch
V-bomb attacks on Britain.

Term In Jail. Called Cheap At Half The Price

LOUISVILLE, Ky-(FP)- Its cheap at half the price," said George M. Miller as he and seven other tele- phone strike leaders began serving jail terms for contempt of court here.
 Miller, Kentucky director of the Southern Federation of Telephone Workers, and three others were lock- ed up for 30 hours, and others for IS hours, for leading mass picketing at the main exchange here April 25.
 They were sentenced a week later by circuit judge w. Scott Mill Ter for violating his order limiting the number of pickets to two. At the same time, however, the judge eased the order to allow an unlim- ited number of pickets provided they stayed 10 feet apart walking single file or g feet apart stroll ing two abreast.
 This allows up to 42 pickets on the two street sides of the main building and was hailed as victory by the union.
 Another thing this has done is to make damn good union men out of all of us" Miller declared. He took along as reading matter a copy of American Labor Unions and How They Work. He reported that local leaders wanted to appeal the sen tenceS but were overruled by top SFTW men in Atlanta.

Equal Wage For WomenP Proposed To US. Congress

WASHINGTON-(FP) = Spon- sored jointly by Senators Claude Pep per CD, Fla.) and Wayne Morse (R, Ore) a bill calling for equal pay for women in industry was introduced last week as s. 1856 and sent to the labor committee.
 Entitled the Equal Pay Bill of l947, it would make it an. unfair wage practice to discriminate in payment of wages between the sexes for comparable quality and quantity of production on similar operations. An administrator, ap- pointed by the Secretary of Labor, would enforce the law with power to hold hearings and issue cease and desist orders enforceable in the federal circuit court of appeals.
 In joint statement the bills spon- sors said: "Fair-minded Americans have long deplored the existence of wage differentials based on sex in

craft union" by tying up with the l. B. E. w.
 The last convention of the Electrical Workers, Tracy stressed, created a new. class of membership known as "B-A", with full voting rights such as are possessed by "A" members. Many present "B" locals, which have lower dues, are tranferring to the "B-A" category. That will also be available to the telephone workers, Tracy explained.
 Riddles Craft Claim
 As for the "craft union' charge, Tracy nailed that, too. "We have both the craft and industrial form of organ ization and get the benefit of both," he pointed out.
 ''In the building and. railroad industries, it is craft" he said. ''In manufacturing and utilities, it is industrial"
 Power to Match A. F. of l..
 Tracy also cited the fact that the I. B. E. w. is divided into five general branches, according to industries cov- cred. The workers in each get special treatment of their own problems, and at the same time have "the support and resources of the entire organiza- tion.
 This arrangement, he said, is especially suited to the needs of the phone workers, and would give them the power and the resources to deal with a Colossus like the A. T. X T. on equal terms.

5,lOO Standing Cases Affected
 By Slave Law

WASHINGTON - CPD = The heavy heel of the Taft-Hartley am tilabor bill has already begun pressing on labOr's throat, it was made clear this week as the NLRB released instructions for conform ing to the new law which it had sent its 2l regional offices.
 Affected were some 5,100 standing cases, 4,300 of which were being pro- cessed in the field, and 800 of which were in Washington. Most of the field cases, the NLRB said, may not reach the board for decision until af- ter the full provisions of the act go into effect on August 22.
 Among the instructions to regional offices going into immediate effect:
 l. Dismiss all petitions seeking certificatiOn of units involving supervisory workers.
 2. Stop all cases involving col lective bargaining for plant guards unless the guards unit completely excludes all other workers.
 5. Do not give approval to any new encouragement agreements to settle representation by crOss- check of company payrOlls (the new law requires an electiOn).
 4. Hold no election in units where an election has been held within the past year.
 Regional NLRB offices were also instructed to keep a complete record in craft unit and socalled professional employe cases,
 Among the provisions of the Taft Hartley law to be held off until Aug 22 are employer petitions for collec- tive bargaining elections, petitions for de-certification of bargaining repre- sentatives and union petitions for un- ion security votes.

American industry. Such discrimina- tory practices against women work CTS fly in the face of ordinary justice, depress wages and living standards of women workers and the families de- pendent on them"
 Pepper and Morse observed that with higher prices worsening the living conditions of Americans and ''with the Taft-Hartley law on the statute books. creating greater ob- stacles to peaceful settlement of workers grievances, it is all the more important to eliminate wage differentiaIs based on sex as one cause of labor disputes.'
 Census Bureau figures show there are 5 million more women in business and industry since 1o40, an increase of 50@6, they said.

Child Labor Law Violations Rise

The number of minors under IS en- ployed in violation of the child labor provisions of the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act in establishments in spected increased Is per cent during the last 6 months of 1946 compared with the last months of 1o45, ac- cording to the U. 5. Department of Labor.
 This increase in violations occurred in spite of a 57-per cent reduction in total number of minors employed in inspected establishments during the same periods.

Joe Doaks Of. Dearks Goes For Political Action

LITTLE ROCK, Ark.-(FP)- The story of how political action by Joe Doaks and his family trans formed company town into un- ion town in two short years was told here by Vice Pres. Bill BOtkin of the Intl. WOOdwOrkers.
 In 1045 Botllin went to talk to a new local at little town called Dearks. The company owned every thing in the town but the poStottlce and school house. The workers were n't allowed to meet in any of the buildings so they had to gather under a big oak tree on the baseball field.
 Botkin thought he'd go easy on political action in his talk, figuring the workers were green to union ism and wouldn't have time for it immediately. He tossed in casual mention, however.
 Recently Botkin passed through DearkS again He found out the work CTS were holding a meeting that night this time in the school house. After closer investigation he found that wasn't the only change.
 The union had run an entire slate for city offices. They elected the union president mayor and won every other post except one minor office.
 Then they proceeded to declare the companys property within the city limits and forced the firm to pay taxes to help finance civic improve ments. They put in fire hydrants, a water system and built a city hall.
 Said Botkin: ''I never dreamt they would take my little remark about political action so seriously .''

Telephone
 Workers Offered ByL.B.E.W.C Chief
Propaganda About Glass B Membership In A Craft
 Union Nailed By Tracy

The nations telephone workers have a standing offer to affiliate with one of the largest unions in the A. F. of 1.-the International Brotherhood of Electrical Work CTS.
 President Dan w. Tracy of the I. B. E. w. revealed this week that proposal for such affiliation has been submitted to the National Fed eration of Telephone Workers which has just renamed itself the Communi- cations Workers of America.
 It was that Federation which con ducted the recent strike against the worlds biggest monopoly, the Ameri- can Telephone & Telegraph Company. After more than 30 days of picketing, the Federation was forced to settle for only small fraction of the wage in crease 1t sought.
 Many Turn to I. B. E. w.
 The outcome of the battle convinced many of the workers that a weak, in dependent organization, standing alone, could not match strength with utili- ty giant like A. T. & T. As a result, the l. B. E. w. received many inquiries about affiliation.
 At the invitation of President Joseph A. Beirne of the phone union, Tracy presented tentative proposal in writing. In it. he scotch ed widespread propaganda to the effect that telephone workers could only get Glass B membership in a

AFL Beats CIO In Elections Before N LRB

WASHINGTON-(FP) In the last complete month of operation un- der the Wagner act before amendment by the Taft-Hartley law, 79%o of the workers voting in representation cleo tions cast their ballots for collective bargaining by some labor organization, the NLRB announced this week.
 Summarizing its work for May, the NLRB reported AFL affiliates won 230 elections, or 6l9o of those in which they took part, drawing 21,000 votes CIO unions won 132 elections, 49@o of those in which they participated winning altogether some 31,000 votes.
 The importance of the provision in the Taft Hartley bill that a union must draw majority of all the po- tential votes to win an election was illustrated by the NLRB' statement that 129o of all employees eligible to vote did not cast a ballot. Under the new law those uncast votes count against the union and for the company.
