Clio Union Challenge
|0f Non Red Affidayits
Before Court Today

. A union fight to outlaw the nom
Communist pledge requirement OF
the Taft-Hartley Act went before
three judges in District Court today
for argument.
The suit, brought by the CIO Ma
tional Maritime Union, attacks the
constitutionality of the provision
which says that before a union can
enjoy the laws benefits its leaders
must file affidavits disclaiming
communism, and certain financial
data.
Failure to file the required state
ments bars union from using the
National Labor Relations Board.
Among other things, the NLRB can
require employers to bargain with
a union on wages and working con-
ditions.
F, First Amendment Cited.
The Maritime Unions main con-
tention is that the right of workers
to deal as a group with an employer
is contained in the freedom Of
speech and freedom Of assembly
clauses of the Constitutions First
Amendment.
The NMU says this liberty is inn
paired for unions failing to sign
the required AFFIDAVIT. It adds that
the effect in MINUS case is that
"the union has been forcibly re-
moved from the collective bargain
mg arena" s-.......
Assistants of Robert N. Denham,
the NLRB's general counsel, argued
in an answering brief that Congress
passed the Taft Hartley law to pre-
vent labor disputes from interfering
with interstate commerce.
NLRB attorneys said Congress
reached the conclusion that politi1
cal strikes would be less likely to
occur and true collective bargaining
would best be fostered If labor or
CARNATIONS were headed by nom
Communists"
Court Order Asked.
The NMU is a seamen's union
concentrated on the Atlantic and
Gulf Coasts. It is headed by
Joseph Curran. Mr.. Curran con-
tends in the suit that, although
not a Communist himself, he feels
it is illegal to require a man to
state his political beliefs.
The union long has been split
into so-called right and left wing
factions.
In bringing the suit, the NMU
asked for a court order compelling
the NLRB to put the unions name
on ballots in two election cases
now before the NLRB. In both
cases the AFL Seafarers' Interna-
tional Union wants to represent
sailors of Great Lakes steamship
companies.
The NLRB refused to let the
NMU participate in the elections
because Mr.. Curran and other
union officers refused to file the
non-Communist oaths and submit
other required data.

Commission Favors
S1,S75,OO0,oO0 Aid
For Public Colleges

Federal aid totaling $1,875 ,000, 900
in the next five years should 60 to
the Nations colleges, the Presidents
Commission on High Education
recommended today-but only to
public-controlled institutions.
This recommendation brought
sharp dissent from two Catholic
members of the commission who
saw no reason why privately owned
colleges should be disqualified from
Federal aid.
In addition to the $1,875 900, 600
which would be used for operating
expenses and buildings, the COM
missions fifth report recommended
a program of scholarships and
fellowships which would cost the
Federal Government another $780,
000, 900 over the same period. The
sums are the minimum needed to
bring college enrolment up to
100000 by 1960-double what it is
now.
The majority report said a prime
responsibility of government in a
democracy is to provide equal OPP
portunities for all its citizens to
receive a high-quality education"
This responsibility does not deny
any individual the right to attend
or to establish a private school for
the purpose of providing, within
the limits of the law, kind of edu-
cation which such individuals or
groups deem more suitable to their
particular needs or beliefs, the re-
port said. *.
Any school accepting public funds
should also accept "the right of the
people as whole to exercise review
and control of the educational pol
icies and procedures of that insti-
tuition" the report continued.
such acceptance by privately
controlled institutions would -
tend to destroy the competitive ad-
vantages and free inquiry which
they have established and which
are so important In providing safe
guards to freedom" the majority
said.
higher education director for the
National Catholic Welfare Confer
ence, and Martin r. P. MCGUIRE,
dean of the graduate school at
Catholic University, disagreed.
1--WE believe it is timely = to
call attention to the dangers of
higher education system largely or
completely dominated by the State.
Exclusive control of education, more
than any other factor, made the
relationships of Germany, Italy and
Japan acceptable to an ever-in-
creasing number of the population -
they maintained.
1--WE fear that legislation imple-
menting the commissions recon-
mendation would 60 long way to-
ward establishing an administrative
structure for higher education
whereby government in the United
States might easily use the Nations
public colleges and universities to
promote political purposes"
They added: 1--WE are not i'm
pressed by the commissions admo-
milton that the acceptance of Fed
eral funds would expose private ed
ucation to Federal control. The very
same admonition might be directed
to publicly controlled colleges and
universities.

Inquiry Approaches
Showdown on Thomas
BY the Associated Press

A showdown is in prospect over
refusal of Senator Elmer Thomas
Democrat, of Oklahoma, to submit
to a public hearing of his commod-
ity speculation.
Chairman Ferguson said his Sem
ate Appropriations Subcommittee is
continuing its investigation of Sen
ator Thomas activities with the full
intent of holding public hearings
Senator Thomas said last week he
will furnish all the information
they want, but they can't subpoena
me-" Senate officials said there is
little doubt that, on his rights as a
Senator, he can refuse to appear
and make it stick.
".As understand it," Senator Fer
guson told a reporter, Senator
Thomas asked for an investigation
by the committee of his trading and
for a hearing.
THE committee arranged to make
such an investigation and to hold a
public hearing. The investigation is
proceeding and there has been, no
change in the plans for a hearing"
No date has been set.

by rooftop watchers who slapped them out with wet sacks.
 The vounteer fire crews that manned the equipment of the Valley Volunteer Fire Associa- ton and the Coop Garage were assisted by dozens of willing workers. They braved smoke and soaring flames to stand deter minedly on the roofs of the row of frame buildings, with hoses.
 One m an, Carl Zehrung, gashed his leg deeply while standing on the Wright green house to direct a stream of water on the Neal Wright home. The house caught fire twice, but was saved by the efforts of the fire men.
 Fire crews from Fort Richard son were called, and reached the Valley in a record 45 minutes, to stand by for the entire night, on guard against flying sparks and smouldering embers.
 Ironically, the firewall erected by MT. Wright to protect his new building in the event of a fire in the adjacent frame structures, saved the remainder of the busi- ness district.
 On Tuesday, as evacuated of ficeS were being set up again, merchants in the entire block counted their losses as very small. Partners of the Palmer Photographic Center were be- lieved the largest losers, for they dumped 100 gallons of solvent before leaving their office. They also suffered the loss of movie camera and one or two items from their art and gift selection.
 MT. Anderson. asked what the cause of the fire was, said it evidently was started by defec- tive wiring. Its outbreak at a long distance from the furnace made it impossible to have start ed there, he stated.

in the store, supplies of ammuni- tion and liquor were destroyed. Their intermittent explosion made the work of firefighters doubly difficult.
 As flames and oily smoke bill lowed high into the air and licked over the brick firewall which separated the Wright building from the solid row of adjoining one-story frame struc- lures, firemen despaired of saw ing any building in the block. Volunteers from the hundreds of watchers turned to with will and emptied stores and offices of equipment and merchandise in a matter of minutes.
 Valley truckers brought their vehicles into the threatened area, where they were piled high with merchandise and valuables. As fast as one truck was filled and driven away, another was backed into place beside the building be- ing evacuated.
 Houses located in lots to the rear of the main business struc- lures also were stripped of their furnishings. Mrs. Harry Ryan loaded furniture onto pickup and drove down the highway only to find that burning ember had lodged on a davenport to start a new blaze there.
 Embers tore loose from win dow and door castings as the fire progressed and carried by brisk north breeze sailed onto nearby roofs and to houses as far as John Bugge's property. A num- Der of small fires were kindled, only to be promptly extinguished

 Neal Wright, who is returning to Palmer from Florida, where he was vacationing.
 The Hammond organ, recently purchased by MT Wright for use in the buildings dance hall, was lost in the fire. The Colony Day refrigerator, at first believed de- stroyed in the fire, had been re- moved Sunday evening.
 Second floor offices in the building were swept by flame in a matter of seconds. D. T. Low rey, engineer working in the Rural Identification Administra- tion office, was severely burned about the face and hands as he made his way down the blazing stairway to safety.
 In addition to the REA office, the office of Dr. R. E. Garrett, Valley physician, the headquar- ters of Matanuska Electric Asso- citation, Inc, and the offices of Herman Ross and Lou Henke were destroyed. MEAS vital rec ords are believed intact in the office safe, however. Dr. Garrett suffered a total loss of equipment and instruments valued at S20,- 900.
 Exact value of the stock in the downstairs drug store and in- surance coverage will be un- known until MT. Wright arrives. He is expected n1omentarily.
