By the AsSoejoted Press

PHILADELPHIA, Mar. "a
Action by the Pennsylvania Labor
Relations Board on a number OF
cases involving non-employe pick
citing charges was delayed yester-
day by ruling of the State Su-
preme Court.
The court threw out a 1947

lawful for persons to picket estab-
lishments if they are not en-
ployed there.
A second amendment to the act
defining some secondary boycotts
and jurisdictional disputes OF
labor unions as unfair labor
practices also was thrown out.
The court upheld the ruling by
Judge Henry G. sweeney of Dela-
ware County who had reversed an
order of the board.
Pennsylvania labor leaders and
Democratic Senators hailed the
courtssaction.
The court test came after Local
SIT, Bartenders, Hotel and Res

And so to put handouts on
mankind, to convert the entire

To Be Stopped Today

Nicholas Balovich, superintend-
ent of Army district engineers
said the swift flowing gap should
be closed sometime today.
Slowly spreading waters seeped
over the thinly populated sugar
cane country after the break yes
terday morning.
The section affected is on the
west side af the river across from
Baton Rouge. A low section OF
about 10 square miles was under
two to three feet of water.
About 1900 residents of the
little town of Port Allen, directly
in the flood path. appeared un'
worried. A RAILROAD roadbed
bolstered by a hastily mounted
dirt dixie on plantation, spared
the town for the moment.
No damage estimates were made
but canef1elds suffered the most
Residents guessed damage might
run into hundreds of thousands
of dollars.
Engineers discounted immediate
danger of further cave-ins.
A 200-feet wide segment near
the original break, however, was
crumbling slightly. The crevasse
itself is the first levee cracking on
the lower Mississippi River since
1927.
