Are Saying of Us

The Moscoip radio, broadcasting i,
English to the United Kingdom,
said:
THE increased activity of
United States reactionaries, their
intensified drive against peoples
rights, is by no means sign of
strength. Quite the contrary.
Foreseeing the approach OF the
crisis and fearing the growing
progressive movement in the
country. the die-hards are try
ing to crush all opposition at
home. Plotting new military ad-
ventures, they want to make sure
that the rear will do as they say.
But they are not succeeding
and can't succeed.
The forces of progress and
democracy in the United States
are growing daily. In the van of
the fight for democracy stands
the working class. The whole
country is being swept by great
wave of protest against the
anti-labor legislation. The work
ers are being joined by the

NLRB Acted Too Late
In Asking Injunction,
Printers Tell Court
BY the Assoeiofed Press

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 16.-The
AFL International Typographical
Union said today tardy action cost
the Government any right to ask
for a court breakdown on the union.
Lawyers for the printers argued
specifically that the Federal Court
here should not issue an injunction
against the union.
They said in brief that news
papers had complained to the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board last
September that the union and its
members were violating the Taft
Hartley Act.
Robert N. Denham, NLRB general
counsel, issued a formal complaint
accusing the union Of unfair labor
practices November 81, 1947. One
of Mr.. Denham's assistants filed
the injunction plea January 16,
1948.
1t asked the court to order the
ITU to stop the alleged unfair
practices until the NLRB can de-
eide the case.
Labor Act Cited.
In saying that Mr.. Denham and
his aides asked for the injunction
too late, the union added:
Their failure to apply for tenn
porary injunctive relief on or i'm
mediately after November 81, 1947,
precludes their application for such
relief at this time"
The union brief said the Taft
Hartley provision giving the NLRB
discretionary power to ask for in
functions expressly provides that
the power must be exercised upon
the issuance of the complaint"
The claim of hardness was new
one the union added to two other
main arguments that no injunction
should be issued. These. are that
% the discretionary power to ask
for injunction is unconstitutional,
and %, in any event, such power
is given to the NLRB itself, not
to Mr.. Denham or his aides.
Hearing Reopens Today.
A hearing before an NLRB ex-
aminer on the merits of the charges
against the union was due to be
resumed today in Chicago, but was
postponed to permit both sides to
try to agree on certain facts. The
ITU has been on strike against daily
newspapers in Chicago for almost
three months.
Mr.. Denham has accused the
union (A) of failing to bargain with
publishers and (B) with insisting
on a closed shop in the face of
the Taft-Hartley ban against en-
ployers agreeing to hire only union
men.
The union said in it's brief it has
engaged in no conduct that vio-
lates the (Taft-H Hartley act or any
other law" 1t said it has tried
with marked success, to reach
peaceful and satisfactory accom-
modations" with publishers, and
added:
THE only strikes or other diff
culties that have occurred are the
result solely of the adamant and
arbitrary refusal of few employer
publishers to discuss wages and
other economic conditions of work
with the local unions affiliated with
the ITU."

II. n. Awaits Answers
To Inquiries Before
Acting on Palestine
BY The Associated Pre-.

LAKE SUCCESS, July 9.-The
United Nations Security Council
today allowed the Palestine truce
to expire without acting.
| Meeting in emergency session late
yesterday, the ii delegates decided
they needed more direct information
from the Holy Land before making a
move. Gables were sent hurriedly to
the Arab states. Israel and Count
Folke Bernadotte for details.
( Delegates were instructed to be
prepared for another emergency
meeting today or tomorrow to con-
slider the answers.
! The Arabs had informed Count
Bernadotte, the U. N. mediator, that
they would not accept an extension
OF the truce. Israel said it would.
Delegates were not satisfied that the
Arab answer was final.
U. S. Appeals to Arabs.
Philip Jessup, American deputy
delegate. appealed to Arab delegates
to ask their governments to recon-
slider. He said failure to comply
with the Councils previous plea for
another month of peace would mean
the U. N. should invoke strong meas
ures-including force If necessary.
DR.. Jessup said the United States
was ready to carry out its U. N
obligations in such situation,
which would mean joining in eco
nomic sanctions. diplomatic sane
tions or an international army.
Responsible sources here said the
United States refrained from press
ing for immediate action to gain
more time to try to convince the
Arabs to reconsider. Britain also
was understood to be exerting pres
sure on Arab capitals.
Ell Khoury Attacks U. 8.
Syrias Faris Ell Khoury gave DR.
Jessup little encouragement. Max
ing a bitter attack on the United
States, he shouted across the table:
GO ahead and destroy the Arabs.
Use your atomic bombs, If you want
to. The Arabs are prepared to
die"
Also left unacted on by the Coun-
Gil was a charge from Israel that
Egypt had broken the truce by
launching an offensive in South
Palestine. Egypt denied the allega-
tion in the Council.
The U. N. meanwhile began with
drawing equipment and personnel
from Palestine in anticipation of re-
newed full-scale warfare. Most of
the employees were being taken tenn
porarily to Beirut, Lebanon. Some
were headed for the Island of
