Restoration Of Seizure
Powersto Curb Strikes
MAY Be Recommended
By jones Y. Newton

Federal labor officials are con-
sidering recommending to Con-
gress, as a means of handling
national emergency strikes in
new labor legislation, restora-
ton of the Presidents seizure
powers backed up by very limited
use of Federal Court injunctions.
A way to head off economy Grip
ping strikes-just what sanctions to
apply-has been the stumbling
block IN the formulation of a COM
plete administration program for a
law to take the place Of the Taft
Hartley Act.
AS 1t shapes up now, the President
would be authorized to seize plants
or mines and order operation by the
Government where q strike or the
likelihood of one threatened the
Nations health or security. Then it
would be provided that If either the
management or the union refused to
60 along with Government operation
the Attorney General could apply
for injunction. However, the use of
court sanctions would be very limited
in the law 50 as to get around labor's
deep-seated opposition to use Of
injunctions.
Authority Has Expired.
During wartime and the period Of
Industrial reconverSion, the Presi-
dent had seizure authority. How
ever, such authority expired two
years ago.
The administration will recon-
mend removal of the Taft-Hartley
ban on the closed shop and also Is
considering suggesting that Con-
gress give protection Of Federal
law to the union shop. Under the
closed shop, an employer may hire
only union members. The union
shop provides that nonunion en-
ploye may be hired, but he must
join the union within stated Pc
Rod of time.
Blessing of Federal law would
prevent the various States from out
lawing the union shop in industries
engaged in interstate commerce.
Labor officials feel that the recent
Supreme Court decision upholding
the right Of the States to ban the
closed shop will lead to drives in
the legislatures for a similar pro-
hibition on the union shop.
Myers Calls Dinner Conference.
Senator Myers, Democrat, Of Penn
sylvania called on labor leaders,
meantime, TO help the Democrats in
Congress carry out the promises OF
President Truman and the party
with respect to Taft Hartley repeal
and new labor legislation.
The Senator invited a top group
Of the leaders to a dinner with him
and other Democratic Senators. The
session will be held at the Mayfower
January rs. Senator Myers did not
name the Senators who will take
part in the dinner conference, but
said he had invited the following
labor officials:
AFL President William Green,
CLIO President Philip Murray, John
L. Lewis, A. F. Whitney, Harvey,
Brown, Alvanley Johnston, H. ".
Fraser and George M. Harrison. The
last five on the list are presidents OF
railroad unions.

Divided Guam Police
Blamed for Delay in
; Staying Arrests
By the Associated Press

PEARL HARBOR, Jan. ia lie
detector expert said last night that
divided police jurisdiction on Guam
almost allowed three suspects in the
Staying of Miss Ruther Farnsworth
to escape.
Police Inspector Al Riedel Of Ber-
kelley, Calf, said that pure dumb
luck" played a big part in the arrest
last week of the three Negroes, now
charged with the rape and murder
of the former San Francisco girl.
One of the three, Mr.. Riedel said,
had been questioned and cleared by
the Air Force Criminal Investiga-
ton Division before he got there or
before 1t. Comdr. James T. Hackett,
deputy island police chief, had q
chance to talk with him.
Weeks Before Questioning.
1t was three weeks after the for
mer WAC was found near death in
a jungle December IL before Mr..
Riedel and Comdr. Hackett ques-
toned Pvt. Herman T. Dennis, 20,
of Indianapolis.
Comdr. Hackett, a Chicago police
lieutenant on active Navy duty, had
refrained from pushing the investi-
CATION because of the separate police
squads of Air Force, Marine, en-
gineers and civilian contractors.
Because of the prevailing atti-
tude of letting each service take
care of it5 own, Hackett did not
push the ISSUE" Mr.. Riedel said.
Three weeks later, Mr.. Riedel ar
rived with his lie detector. 1t was
not until then. Mr.. Riedel went on,
that Comdr. Hackett got a chance
to talk to Dennis.
Under the detector, Dennis, Mr..
Riedel asserted, showed a definite
reaction TO the question Of whether
he knew where Miss Farnsworth's
clothing was.
Mr. Riedel said the Navy fully
realizes the faults of the divided
police jurisdictions on Guam. That
is why Comdr. Hackett is there, to
reorganize the force. But he had
been there only two weeks when the
attack occurred.
Mr.. Riedel stopped here en- route
home by plane.

On the Other Hand
Help Required for Navajo Indians
And Migrant Workers Children

A Chicago home for crippled
children offers free treatment to
Indian children needing it, if
somebody meets the cost of trans
portation. which is S72 each.
When the Navajos were settled
on their present reservation they
entered into a solemn treaty with
the United States Government. BY
this treaty we promised to furnish
a school and teacher for every 80
children. The promise, says Rog-
ers. has not been kept. There
are $4,000 children of school age
on the reservation: school facili-
ties for less than $500. The fed
Grafton asks anyone who can af-
ford it to become sponsor OF
classroom units in the matter of
clothing and other necessities.
The cost is S72 per unit.
NEA Appeals for Migrants.
In passing it can be mentioned
that out of a total population of
1000 the reservation gave $500
men to the armed services in
World War II.
The other appeal is from the
National Education Association.
1t is in behalf of the children of
migrant agricultural workers A
study by the NEA reveals that
nearly 100000 children are get
ting little, if any. education be-
cause of the constant moving of
their parents.
With the increasing develop
ment of large scale, commercial

labor. this problem will continue
to grow. However, you are not
asked to meet it personally-ex-
cept through taxes. 1t can only
be met by the State school sys-
tens and they can only meet it
if they have Federal aid.
Federal aid will be forthcoming
if the bill just completed by the
Senate Labor and Public Welfare
Committee is enacted by Congress.

pears certain of enactment, if and
