Above o|itics, Lodge Says
By the Asxocioted Press

CHICAGO, Sept. g. Senator
Lodge, Republican. of Massachu-
sets declared yesterday the first
consideration in conducting foreign
relations is that partisan politics
have no place in foreign policy"
Luckily" he added, we have a
foreign policy which in it's broad
lines has been called bipartisan or
non-partisan' Perhaps it would be
even more accurate to say that we
have in this country a foreign policy
not motivated at all by partisan
politics.
The Senator's remarks were con-
tanned in his keynote address at
the opening session of the fourth
annual national convention of
American Veterans of World War

BY she Asseeioted Press

DETROIT, Sept. 3.-The wealthy
sponsor of the Detroit Symphony
Orchestra today threatened to can
Gel the orchestra's regular winter
concert series as result of a dis
pute with union bartenders.
Henry H. Reichhold, president of
the symphony society, said the Or

tons by the Bartenders' Union. AFI..
His secretary. Miss Claire Murphy.

heated presidential battle still re-
main, and it's not too likely that
the breacn will be hea.ed in the
near future.
There's not much likelihood that
the Burns faction even will try to
leave the union, but some of his
supporters are already talking about

biennial convention in Omaha. Nebr

breaking defeat on the third bal
lot. after leading on the first two
ballots but having failed to obtain
the majority of the votes cast for
the four candidates in the field,
was the first to congratulate Mr..
Yaden when the convention finally
made its choice known.
This union has the great task
of organizing the bulk Of Govern
ment employees, and I urge you with
all my heart to maintain complete
unity" Mr.. Burns declared. You
can do lt-you must do it."
Then Mr.. Burns moved that the
vote in favor of Mr.. Yaden be made
unanimous. This was done by the
convention, which then gave Mr..
Burns a rising ovation for his dis
play of craftsmanship.
Mr.. Yaden, a Civil Service Com
mission official for more than 36
years, achieved his victory on the
third ballot by vote of 13,444 to
10,117. His victory became assured
when Joseph Dunn, Treasury De-
partment official from Washington,
who had polled 5000 votes on the
second ballot, threw his votes into
the Yaden camp on the third bal
lot. That was more than enough
to insure victory for Mr.. Yaden.
BACKGROUND-Mr. Yaden has
been long time power in the AFGE
and has been national vice presi-
dent for many years. He has held
one of the top jobs in the Civil
Service ommission-that of a
member of its Board of Appeals
and Review. He plans to resign his
Government job some time this
month to assume his new duties.
A native of Kentucky, Mr.. Yaden
is a lifelong Republican. But he
made it plain that his political
views will have nothing to do with
his activities as AFGE president
Mr.. Burns had served as AFGE
president for nearly 10 years before
his regisnation several months ago
after a falling out with his Execu-
tive Council over policy matters.
Mrs. Bernice B. Heffner was unan-
imously reelected AFGE secretary
treasurer and Floyd Swiggett. jr.,
and Charles F. Sharkey were elected
AFGE vice presidents from the
Washington area. A caucus will be
held in Washington to elect third
vice president from the area. Orig
inally, Mr.. Yaden had been slated
for the third job.
CHANGES-The union plans to
borrow some money from the AFL
to get on its feet. Although its
membership has increased by 5000

Labor Board Appeals
To Court 10 Enforce
Ban on Hiring Halls
By the Associotsd Press

The National Labor Relations
Board said today it has asked the
Circuit Court of Appeals in New
York to enforce it's recent order
against use of the hiring hall by the
CIO National Maritime Union.
This is the first time the board
has had to ask the courts to back
up an NLRB order under the Taft
Hartley Act The board has no en-
Fforcement power of its own.
Practice Held Discriminatory.
The new Labor Management Re-
lations Act prohibits the closed shop.
The board held August II that the
practice of clearing jobs on the
Great Lakes through the union
hiring hall was discriminatory
against nonunion job applicants
In effect. the union enjoyed a closed
shop, the board ruled.
The same hiring practice is fol-
lowed on the Atlantic, Pacific and
Gulf Coasts. The Great Lakes case
was the first to be acted on by the
NLRB.
A trial examiner has handed in
"a report covering the Atlantic ship
owners and the NMU, similar to the
boards finding on the Great Lakes
Issue in Coast Strike.
Contracts have been entered into
on the Atlantic, Gulf and Great
Lakes continuing the hiring hall
practice pending a final court deci-
sion.
The hiring hall now is big issue
in the West Coast dispute where

Meanwhile, as the delegates wound
their way home after the conclusion
of the four-day convention, the
unions executive council met here
today to formulate the organization
policy in regard to Federal employees
problems during the coming year.
X
OPPOSED-At its closing session,
the convention went on record
vigorously" opposing the proposal
Of Chairman LANCER of the Senate
Civil Service Committee to set up
salary boards to fix the salaries Of
all Government workers.
The convention made II definitely
known it wants to retain the classi-
flcation act procedure of fixing the
wages of classified Federal employees.
The adopted resolution said the SAL
ary board plan, II enacted by Con-
gress, would be disastrous to the
average Federal employe"
Back of the unions objection is
the fear that Federal salaries gen.
orally would be reduced, rather than
increased, under the salary board
Set-up.
OTHER RESOLUTIONS The
convention alos asked for additional
cost -of-living Government pay
raises, more liberalized Federal re-
tirement benefits and unemployment
compensation benefits for Govern
ment employees.
Another important stand was the
demand for passage. as soon as pos
sible by Congress, of legislation to
increase compensation payments to
Federal workers injured on the job,
and boost in the present Sc a
day travel allowance for Govern
ment employees on official business.
Also, the AFGE announced its
opposition to any move to abolish
the present three-man Civil Service
Commission set-up and have the
commission run by a single admin
lstrator. The present setup has
worked satisfactorily for all con-
cerned. the AFGE declared.
