Case Against Printers
Union on Monday
by The kssoeioisd Press

INDIANAPOLIS, Mar. s.-The
Government is nearly ready to rest
Its injunction case against the AFL
international Typographical Union.
Next week the union will have its
turn to fight back.
Charles J. Levin, editor and gen.
eral manager of the New Bedford
tMass.) Standard Times. will resume
his Federal Court testimony Monday
after weekend recess.
Late yesterday Mr.. Levin testi-
fed that an ITU international rep
resentative, Charles Toby" Lyon,
told him December 10 that If non
union men entered the Standard
Times, odors Of their bodies would
nauseate union men working there
and union members would have to
leave. The New Bedford newspaper
Is one Of the dailies which granted
a wage raise without a contract
and thus avoided q strike.
Defense to Open Monday.
Winthrop Johns, representing
general counsel of the National
Labor Relations Board, says all
Government testimony should be
finished by noon Monday.
Union lawyers, resisting an in
junction, say they will present
about two-and-a-half days of direct
testimony, not counting time taken
In cross-examination.
Judge Luther M. Swygert must
decide whether to order the national
union and its four top officers to
change policies which the Govern
ment attorneys say are violations Of
the Taft-Hartley Act.
Yesterday another newspaper
executive quoted the leader of the
striking Chicago printers, John j.
Pilch, as saying to him on January
26;
Uncle Sam can't buy enough
bayonets, if an injunction Is served,
to put our men back In these COM
posing rooms
Harrigan Testifies.
The witness was William j. Har-
rigan, business manager of the
Hammond Gnd) Times, which, like
the nearby Chicago newspapers. has
been publishing since November by
photoengraving process without any
printers.
The immediate effect of an in
junction on the Chicago Hammond
strike and other printers strikes is
not clear. The proposed injunction
would not be directed against the
Chicago local union.
The Government claims the strike
Is linked with ITU policies and thus
illegal. The ITU and the Chicago
local claim the strike is only for
higher wages and Is legal.

woven with silk thread. Santha S
sari was pale gray Indian georgette,
trimmed with similar band of
silver and thread.
The hostess, whose attractive
ness is enhanced by her white hair,
arrived in this country just 10 days
ago. She was very impressed with
the Embassy at 2700 Macomb street.
Lady Rama Rau had been told 1t
was a lovely place, but she had no
idea the four and half acres had
so many trees. And the house itself
is handsome. In fact, the only thing
the Ambassador and his wife have
added to it are some very rich
looking Indian carpets. They have
beige background and the pre-
dominate color is red, mixed with
blue and green.
Twenty -fve-year -old Santha ar
rived with her father several weeks
ahead of her mother, who, Incl
dentally, is in this country for the
first time. According to Santha,
they came early in order to get the
residence in shape for her mother.
But Santha won't be here long.
She will leave next month for China
where she will continue her study
of social welfare work. She's espe-
cially interested in the little teach
ers" program. This is a program
wherein children over 10, who have
already had some schooling, are al
lowed to continue their education
free of charge by devoting some of
their time to teaching other chill
dren.
After a Six-weeks' er so stay in
China, Santha hopes to 60 to South
east Asia and then back to her
homeland She's interested in a
field that means lot to her mother
and if she can do anything about
promoting the little teachers" pro-
gram in India, she intends to do So
The vivacious dark haired diplo-
natic daughter was graduated from
Wellesley College. The reason she
came to this country was that at
the outbreak of the war her father
was stationed In South Africa
When she returned to India. she
found that her credits from British
school were not recognized, so she
decided to come to America.
Adding to the informality of the
afternoon was the appearance of
Lady Rama Rau's two grandchil-
dren Asha and Nikhil. ASha is all
excited about her fourth birthday
coming up the end of this month.
Her only worry is that she hasn't
been here long enough to know
many children, and she's afraid her
party won't be very big. Nikhil had
nothing to say-he's only 10 months
old.
Another party will be given at
the Embassy tonight. Sir Rama
Rau and his wife are entertaining
for Indlas High Commissioner in
Canada, Sir Hardit Singh Malik
and Mrs. Malik. The Maliks. who
are staying at the Shoreham Hotel,
are here for just couple OF days
and there are lot of people in
Washington they want to meet. So
Ambassador and Lady Rama Rau
have invited around 80 to the affair.
