Herbert SorrelI
Denies Charges
In Union Dispute

Washington (LPA) - Herbert
Sorrell, chairman of the Confer
ence of Studio Unions, a coalition
of unions contesting jurisdiction
over Hollywood jobs with the Int'l
Alliance of Theatrical Stage EN-
ployes-AFL, last week denied
charges leveled against him and
launched a spirited counterattack
against the IATSE.
Before a subcommittee of the
House Labor Committee, IATSE
representatives, supported by the
AFL electrical workers, had alleg-
ed that Sorrell, whose committee
includes AFL carpenters, painters,
and other crafts, plus the Int'l AS
sociation of Machinists-unaffiliat-
ed, is a Communist.
Sorrell denied this charge and
accused the IATSE of "conspiring'
with producers to deny members of
various crafts job rights in the mo-
tion picture industry. He said that
the "deal is the same as when
Brown and Bioff ran IATSE."
George Brown was president of
IATSE and Willie Bioff its Holly
wood business agent when violence
in the studio jurisdictional conflict
was at its height in 1911. Bioff- f-was.
later jailed on charges of eXtort-
ing S550,000 from producers with
strike threats. A new administra-
tion in IATSE, headed by Presi-
dent Richard Walsh, and represent
ed in Hollywood by Roy Brewer, has
since ousted the Brown -Bioff clique
from control of the union.
A Communist Party card, issued
to Herbert Stewart" in 1897 was
ordered checked for fingerprints
by subcommittee chairman Rep.
Carroll Kearns (R., Pa.) in an eff
fort to settle Communist charges
made against Sorrell.

received an increase to cover its
industrial safety promotion services
to the states and with labor and
management groups. Most of the
$162, 100 increase proposed for La
Dor Standards in the next year is
for this program.
The cost of administering the
Taft-Hartley registration require
ments which the Labor Dept hand
les is to be met by $4,000. The
amount for salaries and expenses
in the Office Of the Secretary
under which come the activities of
Under Secretary David A. Morse,
dealing with international labor,
and Assistant Secretaries John
Kmetz and John Gibson-was cut
from the $1,049,300 requested to
$975,O00 The latter figure includes
the Taft-Hartley cost, which was
requested in another part of the
Dept and therefore indicates an
even deeper cut.
Thanks only to the intricacies of
the Taft Hartley Act, the Natl
Labor Relations Board receives ST.
100000 for the first eight months
of the next fiscal year, with per-
mission to spend this amount in
seven months if it has to. The
seven or eight months funds next
fiscal year are 81, 1,225,3O0. Adding
in the $4,000 which Taft Hartley
costs the Labor Dept, the COP
anti-labor boys costing the taxpay-
ers at least $1,3O0,O00 in the next
year.
The Federal Mediation & Con-
citation Service, separated from
the Labor Dept by Taft t-Hartley,
is to receive $2,450,000 during the
next year, which is 100000 below
what President Truman asked and
$4,000 above this years appro-
priation.
All of the funds requested are
for the fiscal year starting July
/, l947. The Appropriations Com
mittee report now goes to the floor
of the House, where pro-labor
Congressman are expected to put
up a fight for an increased appro-
especially for the Bureau
of Labor Statistics.
Since all appropriations measures
must originate in the House, the
bill will later go to the Senate for
action.

AFL Takes Big Part In Drive To HALT
Communism Advance Among Workers

Washington, D. c. QLNS) =
GAS Soviet preSsures move toward
a climax in Europe, the American
Federation of Labor is more than
ever aware of the grave issues in
volved" and is taking an active role
in a worldwide fight against Com
munism through labor unions, the
federation says in its latest eco
nomic survey.
An AFL movement begun during
the war is being pushed among
millions of workers abroad to save
democratic freedom by hating the
spread of Communism, the fedora
tion says.
Pointing out that the Soviet
Union is waging a 'cold war"
against democratic ways of life,
the federation declares
"The Soviet objective is to
bring free peoples under Moscow's
police state, where every individual
is subject to the will of the die
tator, enforced by spies, police,
prisons and the concentration camp,
and where there is no recongnition
of basic personal rights or liber-
ties.
Workers Realize Peril
AS the Soviet imperialistic pur-
pose has unfolded in these post
war years, workers in all parts of
the world have been reused to its
true meaning for them, although
many were at first confused by
Soviet propaganda and misuse of
the word democracy
"There have been strong groups
in the trade union movements OF
different countries who recognized
the real issues from the start. To-
day free unions, alarmed for their
safety, are coming forward to join
together for common ideals and
purposes, and to protect their free
dom against a common enemy"

work, with Washington as its cen
ter, on a world map. 1t showed con-

sponsibilities does not Indicate that
additional responsibilities would
be executed in the public interests" "
Henry c.. Fleisher, assistant pub
licity director Of the CIO, told the
FEC that "We fear that such a
move on the part of the FEC would
permit the country to be deluged
constantly with radio editorials ex-
pressing essentially a single view
point that of large corporations.
We fear that the opportunity avail
able to other community groups for
replying to this type of editorial
express would be neither effective
nor at all times possible.
"We fear that because of the
large holdings of radio stations by
newspapers, many communities in
the country would find their chan
nels of communication and OF
thought controlled even more
tightly than at the present by a
single publisher-radio broadcaster,
or by a small group of people as
sociated with such a corporation.
"And | think it is also fair to
say that we would regard weaken
ing of the Mayflower decision as
retreat by the FEC, in quite dis
organized fashion, before the hol-
low claims of some sections of the
radio broadcasting industry that
government interest in, and power
over, radio must be reduced to a
completely ineffective minimum" "
Speaking for the AFL unions in
the radio field, acting chairman
Oliver w. Nicoll of the Association
of Broadcast Unions & Guilds of
the AFL told the Commission that
the AFL unions support the May
flower decision and oppose editor
ialization by station owners. APP
pearing with Nicoll were Executive
Secretary George Heller of the
American Federation of Radio Ar
lists, President j. ii. Mcdonnell
of the Natl Association of Broad
cast Engineers q Technicians, and
President Earl McGill of the Ra-
dio Directors Guild.
Earlier, Morris Novik, who is
to the Int'l Ladies Gar
ment Workers and several other
unions now starting FIN radio sta
tions, old the FEC that the Com
mission should "spell out" in more
detail how radio stations must
serve the public interest thru pre-
senting both sides of controver-
sial issues. On the same day, Presi-
dent Eric Barnouw of the Radio
Writers Guild urged the FEC to
the rule against editorial
viewpoints presented by station
owners.
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1948-03-11

Washington (LPA)-Whether or
not owners of radio broadcasting
stations shall in the future have the
right to editorialize-which in SO
cases out of 100 will mean to pre-
sent the advertisers and industrial
lists point of VIEWS the question
now facing the seven-man Federal
| Communications Commission.
Back in 1941, the FEC voted in
what is known as the Mayflower
decision that this is federal policy:
"Radio can serve as an instru-
ment of democracy only when de-
voted to the communication of in
formation and the exchange of
ideas fairly and effectively pre-
sented. A truly free radio cannot
be used to advocate the causes of
the licensee. 1t cannot be used to
support the candidates. of his
friends. 1t cannot be devoted to the
support of principles he happens to
regard most favorable. In brief, the
broadcaster cannot be an advocate" !"
Now, the three major radio net
works and the Natl Association of
Broadcasters are out to change the
rule. The FEC today is almost en-
tirely made up Of different men
than were on the Commission in
l1941.

all are supporting the Mayflower
ruling in their arguments before
the Commission.
They are joined by James l..
Fly, who now speaks for the Am
erican Civil Liberties Union, but
who i'm 194l was FEC chairman.
Radio is different from such other
mediums of communication as
newspapers, Fly insisted in his ar
gument. "The frequencies available

The difference, in terms of ac-
cess to the people, between net
works and local stations, the diff
ference between high power and
low power stations and similar con-
ditions peculiar to radio are likely
to obtain for years to come and
make it essential that the major
interest secured to the people by
the first amendment-that of the
freedom of democratic people to
have unrestricted access to all
points of view - continue to be
safeguarded."
Joseph A. Beirne, speaking as
president of CWA, was blunter in
his description of what would hap
pen if radio stations were allowed
to editorialize "Broadcasters are
too closely dependent upon adver-
tising revenue to permit fair and
unreasonable editorial policies"

federation warns, adding that
Moscow has its trained fifth col

cas- in Europe and Asia, and is
training more Quislings to replace
or reinforce the Browders, the

Reporting on its aid to free trade

Government Alarm G q
By Attack On Condor

Washington (LPA)-Responsible
government officials are frankly
worried by the House Un-American
! Activities Committees wild attack
upon DR.. Edward U. Condor, direc-
tor of the Bureau of Standards, and
wartime atomic physicist. They
are not worried about the loyalty
of Condor and other scientists. But
they are fearful that the antics of
Chairman J. Parnell Thomas (R.,
N. J.) and his colleagues will in
crease the difficulty of keeping
able, creative scientific workers
on the federal payroll. The govern
ment, except perhaps the National
Defense Dept, is beginning to rec
ognize that a fettered, pestered
corp of scientists is of very little
use.
Commerce Secretary Hartman,
with the support of Attorney Gen
eral Clark, has refused to furnish
the hysterical House Committee
with the administration personnel
file on Condor. To make such files
available for publication would en-
danger the entire government 10y
atty program, Hartman said. The
Commerce Dept, which supervises
the Bureau of Standards, cleared"
Condor for permanent federal en-
ployment last month. In view of
the public interest which Thomas
charges of disloyalty he created.
Hartman will, however, forward
the file to the Federal Loyalty Re-
view Board, altho he has no doubt
of Condon's reliability.
Condor himself has replied to
Thomas charges by pointing out
that in July 1947, after the I'm
American Activities chairman had
attacked him in a magazine arti-
Gle, he offered to appear before the
committee and answer all questions
it wishes to put to him. He also
last week wrote Sen. Bouke Hick
enlooper (R., Iowa., chairman OF
the Joint Congressional Commit
tee on Atomic Energy, asking that
committee, in which Condor says
scientists have confidence, to "study
the whole problem of proper rela-
tions of the government to scienti-
fic personnel"
The author of the Atomic Ener-
gy Act, Sen. Brien Mcmahon 3D.,
Conn., said: "The protection of
our secrets is important, but it
is imperative that we get more sec
rets to keep"
Scientists and scientific socie-
ties have rushed to Condon's de-
fense. DR.. Henry d. Smythe, auth
or of the Army's own report on
atomic energy, signed statement
which says of DR.. Condor:
"From long association with him,
both personal and professional, we
are convinced that he is complete
ly loyal to the u. S.
Thomas, in his smear of Condor,
quoted part of letter to the Com
nIerce Dept from FBI Director j.
Edgar Hoover, which stated that
Condor had, during the war and
the immediate postwar period,
chatted socially with diplomatic
employees of Soviet Russia and some
of its satellite states. But Thom
as did not add that the FBI had
concluded such contracts carried no
implications of disloyalty.
