Win NLRB Poll

Washington OPA)-Eighteen out
LOT l9 patternmakers in the West
inghouse plant in Cleveland, Ohio
have chosen in an NLRB election
to be represented by the Pattern
makers League-AFL. The United
Electrical Workers-CIO has been
general bargaining agent for the
workers in the Cleveland plant.
Latest in a series of victories
for the Patternmakers League, the
situation now recognized by the
NLRB in this case closely parallels
that created by two claims of the
Bricklayers Union-AFL to speak
for members of its craft in steel
workers covered by United Steel
workers contracts. These cases are
complicated by the inability of the
UE and USA to get on NLRB bal
lots as they are not registered with
the NLRB, having failed for diff
ferent reasons to file Communist
disclaimers.
Pattemmakers president, pep
perry George Q. Lynch, viewed the
Cleveland election as vindication
of his position that craftsmen de-
sire separate representation. "The
Taft-Hartley Law, which | oppos-
ed on other grounds, is now clear
cut on the craft ISSUE" Lynch said.
He is confident that the NLRB
will have to carve out craft juris-
diction dispite CIO opposition. The
CIO has had the support of some
corporations which fear that a
of bargaining agents within
some plants will result in less sta

SUPREME COURT TELLS
OKLAHOMA TO PROVIDE
NEGROES LAW SCHOOL

Washington (LPA) = RAPID
strides forward in the fight to re-
move the injustices that come with
racial segregation in housing anC
in education were being made this
week. The Supreme Court ruled
quickly in a case brought by a Ne
gro woman who had been denied
admission to the University of Ok
lahoma Law School; and it heard
arguments by the government OPP
posing racial restrictive covenants
The Oklahoma case, argued only
last week, involved Miss Ada Lois
Sipuel, who was refused admission
two years ago to the state univer-
sity's law school, on the sole
grounds that she was Negro. Miss
Sipuel is a college graduate and
passed all tests.
The highest court, in a one-page
decision handed down with almost
unprecedented speed, simply stat
ed that "The petitioner is entitled
to secure legal education afforded
by state institution. To this time,
it has been denied her although
during the same period many white
applicants have been afforded legal
education by the state"
The state of Oklahoma now has
several courses open: it can admit
Miss Sipuel to the University Law
School; it can give her law educa-
ton with present professors in a
separate classroom; it can set up
a separate law school for her,
it can provide an interim arrange
ment until a separate school is or
ganized.
Miss Sipuel has not indicated
whether she would accept a segre-
gated school but Thurgood Mar
shall of the Natl Association for
Advancement of Colored People in
arguing the case charged that sep
arate Accommodations could not be
equal. If she presses the Separate
but equal" argument, often simply
called "Jim Grow" her case will
parallel that of Herman Sweet of
Texas, who has refused segregat-
ed law training offered by the State
of Texas. His case is now ON its
way to the highest court.
In the racial covenants case, Mar
shall also appeared before the six
members Of the court who are hear
ing arguments for and against the
conStitutionality of restrictions on
sale of real estate to specified ra-
cial or religious or nationality
groups. Four cases are before the
Court. The Justice Dept, repre-
sented by Solicitor General Philip
Perlman charged that covenants
are invasions of the Constitutional
rights of citizens, violations of fed
aral law, and menace both privi-
eges of citizenship and our dem
,cratic institutions.

DEMS and REPS
Reveal FUNDS

Washington IPA)-In not quite
comparable reports, the two ma
jor parties have told the Clerk of
the House how they stand as the
campaign year begins. The Demo
cratic Party has $315,367 to start
with, and the COP reports $28,575
left over from its 1947 collections.
The Taftites didn't say whether or
not this constitutes their total as
sets.
The Democratic balance sheet
reads something like this: Cash on
hand Jan. /, 1947, $141,488; CON
tributions $656, ,903; other receipts
$244,767; and disbursements of
$727,791. Total Republican Party
income was $733,849, considerably
lower than that of the Democrats,
but in the last four months of the
year the COP received donations of
$3.50, 200, and the Democratic Party
only $203,014.
The Sunoco Oil Pews contributed
heavily to the COP, whose Penna.
organization they are said to con-
troll. Numerous members Of the Du
Pont family, and the Rockefeller
clan - including Nelson who held
jobs under the Roosevelt Admins
tration--came through handsomely,
as did the New York Whitneys and
the Chicago McCormicks.
Not as imposing a list of names
is to be found in the Democratic
Party's "blue book" but some
Southwest oil money is listed.

Typos Cdrry On Despite
Injunction Threat And
Employers Hired Spies

Chicago (LPA)-The Int'l Typo
graphical Union-AFLs victory
over NLRB Counsel Denham il
hearings before an NLRB trial ex
aminer was marred by word from
Indianapolis that Denham's sub
ordinate there has petitioned the
Federal Court to issue an injunc.
tion against the union pending set
tlement of the dispute with the
American Newspaper Publishers
Assn.
Jack Evans, Indianapolis regiona
director of the NLRB, acting fol
Denham, asked for san injunction
designed to halt the two-month-
old strike of the TIP against SIX
Chicago newspapers, and restrain
the union from calling other strikes
before the NLRB has ruled on the
issues being considered in the Chi
cago hearings.
Federal Judge Luther N. Swy-
CERT has ordered the union to show
cause in writing by Feb. 2 why
the Injunction should not be issued,
and has ruled that union officials
must appear in court Feb. to
answer charges. Evans asked that
the injunction be effective on the
latter date.
The Unions victory in the hear
ings came last week when NLRB
General Counsel Robert H. Den
ham backtracted from his earlier
position and agreed to consolidate
two cases against the union.
One involved a complaint which
Denham had issued, based on char
ges of Taft-Hartley Act violation
filed by the American Newspaper
Publishers Assn; the other, a com
plant based on charges made by
the six dailies in Chicago.
Hearings in the ANPA case have
been going on here before an MI
RIB trial examiner. In the midst
of them, Denham issued the adj
ditional Chicago complaint embody-
ing just about the same charges as
made by the ANPA.
This meant the union would have
to face another round of costly
legal proceedings on identical char
ges. Gerhard Van Arkel, counsel
for the Typos, strongly protest
ed this action as Outrageous per-
secution." He declared that if the
cases were not consolidated in
single proceeding, the union would
bolt the NLRB hearings in the AN
PA matter.
AT first, Denham quoted as say
ing he was "unimpressed" by the
Van Arkel threat, but later he
agreed to consolidation of the

Conference Urges
Price Controls

Pittsburgh (LPA)-Leaders OF
the Christian and Jewish religious
communities joined union spokes-
men in calling for the outright re-
peal of the Taft-Hartley Act, fol
enactment of strong price control
and rationing Legislation, and for
control over monopolies.
Meeting at the 18th Annual Con-
ference of the National Religion
and Labor Foundation the church
and labor leaders last week also
declared their opposition to univer-
sal training, and urged full sup
port of the Presidents Civil Rights
Report.
The ITS delegates represented 20
states, "a religious bodies, and 10
unions-AFL, CIO, and unaffiliat-
ed. Moral law demands profound
reformation of the American econ
omic SYSTEM" they pointed out.
Monopoly concentrates the benefits
of industrial effort in the hands of
the few, the Conference concluded,
after examining the working of the
"free enterprise SYSTEM" and urg-
ed the extension of industrial dem
ocracy through more cooperative
and public ownership.
Commenting on Taft Hartley,
churchmen joined trade unionists
in declaring: at is basically unfair,
and the law should be repealed out
right and the Wagner Act should
be reenacted in the interest of SOC
ial iuStice."

Unfair Practice
Case ainsf
Union Discussed

Washington LPA)-NLRB Gen
eral Counsel Robert n. Denhan
last week placed before the BoarC
the first unfair labor practice case
NLRB Trial Examiner H. A. Rue
kel had ruled that wild cat
strike conducted by an Independent
committee in the Perry Norvell Co.
shoe plant in Huntington, w. Va,
which is under contract with the
AFL, did not constitute coerciye ac-
tion against the employer.
Citing the desire of the indepen-
dent group to affiliate with the
CIO shoe workers, and the author
ization of the walkout by that
union, Denham said that the walk
out was calculated to destroy the
stable bargaining relations exist
ing in the plant. The Taft-Hartley
Act, altho designed to protect work
ers in their right 'to present their
grievances personally" gives no
right to any union other than that
recognized as the bargaining rep
resentative to present grievances
to an employer.
The shoe case arose out of the
discharge Of one Of the men active
in the Independent committee,
which precipitated a strike. Com
pany lawyers have charged that
the strike was an illegal attempt
to coerce other workers, and Den
ham added that its purpose was to
destroy the effectiveness of the le-
gitimate bargaining agent - the
AFL union.

Truman's Tax Bill
Given To Congress

Washington (LPA) - Just how
much chance President Truman's
tax program has of passing the
S0th Congress was revealed last
week when Rep. John ID. Dingell
Cd, Mich.) dropped the Admins
tration measure into the House of
Representatives. hopper. Dingell is
the third ranking Democrat on the
Ways and Means Committee. Nei-
ther of the two southern Democrats
who out-rank him are willing to in
troduce the Presidents plan.
Truman's bill calls for a $40 per
person tax reduction to be COM
pensated for by a reimposed tax
on excess corporation profits. The
excess profits tax would take rs
per cent of all corporate profits ex-
ceeding 136 per cent Of a firms
1858 income plus $4,000. This
latter exemption is designed to re
lieve the burden on small busi-
nesses.
Republican leaders have made
clear their unwillingness to con-
slider Truman's proposals. Speaking
in Newark, Speaker of the House
Joseph Martin (R, Mass.) attack
ed the President for appealing to
"the low income brackets" and in
the next breath asserted that the
Republican tax program would ex
empt six million people from the
income tax entirely.
When he appeared last week
before the House Ways and Means
Committee, Treasury Secretary
John Snyder indicated that the
President would veto any tax meas
ure that did not keep the Federal
revenues at approximately current
levels. The Knutson bill which the
bulk Of the Republicans continue to
support would reduce them by over
$6 billion.
While endorsing the national ap-
plication Of the community prop
erty" income tax principle at some
future date, Snyder said it should
not be accepted now as it would
reduce revenues and 97.5 per cent
of the relief given would go to
families with incomes over $4,000.
1t is not clear, however, that the4
Administration itself will insist up
on Truman's proposal and nothing
but Truman's proposal. In an at
tempt to reconcile the southern
wing of the Democratic Party,
Dingell, after introducing the Ad-
ministration measure hinted that
reduction of the $40 per person cut
back to $50 would result in keep
ing revenue at a high enough point
to permit adoption of the commun-
ity property system this year.
But even if Truman's friends ac-
cept this compromise at the ex-
pense Of American workers and
small farmers they will not sue
ceed in getting their measure
through Congress. For the Repub-
licans will not accept the excess
profits tax. After Truman's state
of the union message its repudia-
tion by the northern Democrats is
impossible.
Net effect Of the Presidents put
ting forward his own tax program
may be TO force the Republicans
to amend their bill to provide
greater tax relief to low
er income groups, secure in the
knowledge Truman will veto any
measure they pass.

Wider Civic Interest
In Health Problems
Urqed at Conference

More widespread interest by res
idents and local organizations in
health needs of the District was
urged last night at group discus
sions sponsored by the Washington
office of the National Conference of
Christians and Jews.
About 200 persons attended the
meeting, first of series of four
seminars on community health.
After an address by DR.. Estella
Warner, director of State relations
for the Public Health Service, the
group divided into three groups to
discuss health needs of the city.
The Rev. Arthur F. Elmes, castor
of the Peoples Congregational
Church, said the group he led con-
cluded that insufficient operating
funds for the Health Department
was chief cause for inadequate
health services. The group, he said,
hit at "the fact that people want
more services to be available. but
are apathetic about raising the
money to pay for them"
The unit urged that Parent
Teacher associations, citizens groups
and other organizations should act
to bring appropriate pressure on
Congress" for money to cover the
shortages. he added.
The other groups, led by Leonard
P. Aries of the Office of the hous-
ing expediter. and James c. Evans,
adviser to the Secretary of De-
fense. called for increased public
interest and more training oppor-
tunities for doctors, nurses and
other members of the medical team.
In her address DR.. Warner traced
development of the Public Health
Service and various grant programs
that make money available for re-
search and treatment. While there
are 1870 county health depart
ments in operation throughout the
country, however, she estimated that
only about 31a per cent of the Ma
ton is getting complete, adequate,
public health service"
DR.. James A. Cannon, member of
the District Board of Education,
was chairman of the formal session
which was held at the Mount Ver-
non Place Methodist Church.
The group will discuss health In
relation to housing at a meeting
next Monday and health in relation
to schools and recreation at ses-
sions on November and Novem-

CITY DUCK HAWKS.
By Lillian Cox Athey

A little investigation will prove te
you that Duck Hawks have become
city dwellers. In normal times they
build their nests in inaccessible To-
cations on ledges and such places
1t is possible that the roofs and
window suls of skyscraperS re-
mind them of natures safety
nursery platforms. because they in
sist on bringing up their babies on
the cliff like ledges of high build
ings.
Sometimes the mother shows no
discretion at all in the selection of
a cradle site. She will make a
sketchy nest in gutter on one of
the top floors. A heavy spring rain
will carry the eggs down the drain,
but she will show no more sense
than to lay another pair and that
usually have the same fate. A bird
never gives up, and will keep laying
eggs to replace those lost.
But other mothers may select a
cinder-covered roof and hatch their
eggs. Occupants of Offices have
gone to visit the mother, and some
