Ceilings Are The Limit

CHICAGO - (P) - If something
in a hotel falls on you. the chances
are $3.50 it will be the ceiling.
An analysis of 1000 hotel acci-
dents, compiled by Kemper Insur-
ance safety engineers, showed that
in 14O of them, persons were in
jured by falling objects. Half OF
these were hurt by the ceiling or
parts of it falling on them. Next
to ceilings, the most dangerous
falling objects with which guests
somehow became involved were
windows, window shades and varl-
Gus types of lifting, rolling or fold
ing beds.
However, the survey showed that
most guests are far more likely to
fall than be fallen on. Altogether,
47O persons were hurt in this type
of accident, most of them in falls
on stairways. Another 210 persons
tripped over miscellaneous OBJ
iects. Half of this group tripped on
defective stairs and another quar-
ter tripped on rugs.
Fifty persons were caught in
doors, revolving and otherwise
and another 20 persons hurt them
selves on sharp objects. The rest OF
the injuries came in accidents list
ed as "unclassifiahle."

Coal Operators Charge
3-Day Week Is Step
To UNIV Monopoly
BY the Associated Press

A southern coal operator
charged yesterday that the three
day work week imposed by the
United Mine Workers is part of
long term union plans Ito fully
monopolize and control" the coal
industry.
Walter r. Thurmond, secretary
of the Southern Coal Producers
Association, made the charge be-
fore the Senate Banking Commit
tee which is investigating monopoly
practices by labor unions. The
committee announced it would
wind up the hearings today.
Mr.. Thurmond said the union
plan was launched as long ago as
January, 1898. He quoted John
Mitchell, then president of the
UNIV, as speaking at that time
of an effort being made Ito curtail
the production of West Virginia
coal by attempting to prevent its
sale on the market"
Since then. Mr.. Thurmond said,
the UNIV "by any means at its
command" has extended its
authority over the mine workers.
over the industry. and over the
country"
Mr.. Thurmond termed the
three-day week order lone OF the
most glaring examples of its as
sumption of monopolistic power"
He demanded laws denying
unions privileges that industry
does not enjoy. Similar penal
ties should be prescribed against
them for infractions of law that
are prescribed against industry"
he said. ''
Another witness. Chester c.
Thompson. told the committee
the three-day work week would
destroy the Inland Waterways
freight industry. He is president
Of the American Waterways

|TU Refuses. 70 Bare
Secrets Of Company,
Weapon in Strikes
BY the Associated Press

OAKLAND. Calf. Aug. 19.-
The international Typographical
Union invoked strict secrecy today
despite a demand for more in
formation on expenditure by an
ITU holding company used as a
strike weapon.
The company is Unitypo. Inc.
Organized two years ago. it has
spent more than half million
dollars-all for, union defense>ac-
tivities, officers reported. 1t has
gone into business - including
newspaper publishing-in strike
or lockout areas.
Members said privately there is
a two-fold purpose behind the
unusual venture: to provide jobs
where labor disputes have left
union printers jobless. or to COM
pete with employers who won't
sign on ITU terms.
Sponsor Severely Raped.
Ford S. Goetz. Ventura. Calf :,
delegate. led the unsuccessful fight
yesterday to obtain a detailed ac-
counting of ITU loans which have
financed Unitypo. He urged action
also ito protect" funds Of the
Union Printers Realty Corp. and
Union Printers Home Corp.
Fifteen Southern California
locals, he said, instructed him to
submit the legislation.
The voting, however. went
heavily against Mr.. Goetz. The
majority agreed with the laws
committees thumbs down rec
ommendation. The committee
severely raped the sponsors for
even introducing the proposal.
Opening up the union books, it
said, would disclose the vital
inner business of our defensive
structure" to those who seek to
destroy U.S."
President Woodruff Randolph
and Secretary Treasurer Don
Hurd saw no need for disclosing
financial details other than those
already given out. They explained
the funds were audited twice a
year.
Assets Given as $675,363.
In a recent financial statement
Mr.. Hurd listed Unitypo's assets
at $675,363, of which $650,O00
was in notes payable. The COM
pany had invested for buildings
s112,20o; for machinery and
equipment, 97,567;' for land.

Mr.. Hurd told delegates he could
not divulge the location of the
equipment. Unitypo was incorp-
Grated in New York shortly after

effect. The ITU has been one Of
the loudest critics of the statute.

Science Association
Hits Loyalty Program
For Probing Thoughts

The loyalty and security pro-
gram imposed on Federal Govern
ment employees was assailed today
by the American Association for
the Advancement of Science as
"basically Objectionable"
The criticism against the 10y
atty program and the security
clearance" programs Of the Ma
tional Military Establishment and
the Atomic Energy Commission
was leveled in the associations
weekly journal. Science"
mo one doubts the Importance
of faithful discharge of duty by
public officials" the report said.
mo one questions the propriety
of the Governments demanding
that its employees be loyal to their
jobs and to the democratic insti-
tutionS they serve"
Method of Approach Scored.
The loyalty program is
"basically Objectionable" because
it seeks to determine the en-
ploye's loyalty by inquiring into
his supposed thoughts and atti-
tudes which are established in
large part by 'imputing to him
the beliefs of his associates" the
report said. 1t continued:
If the loyalty order ISSUED by
President Truman) is to be re-
tanned. a drastic revision is essen
tial. Instead Of focusing on an
employees associations, 1t should
focus on his behavior in overt
acts. Legislation already on the
statute books amply protects the
Federal service against retention
of employees who advocate over
throw of the government.
The association pointed out
that the National Military Estab-
lishment's program allowed ap-
peal only to a military tribunal
when a civilian scientists clear
ance has been disapproved.
Held Contrary to Tradition.
such subjection of the desti-
nies of civilians to military tri--
bunals is contrary to national tra-
dition."
OF the Atomic Energy Commis-
sion, the association declared that
work in that (atomic energy "
field will be Stunned by men Of
ability and pride if they are con-
stantly treated as objects OF sus-
picion and possible calumny."
In another phase of the report
the association said secrecy is
damaging to both science and
democracy" It added that the
association Endorsed the 1947 re-
port of President Truman's Sci
entific Research Board which rec
commended security regulations
should be applied only when
strictly necessary, and then linn
tied to specific instruments. ma
chimes or processes, and should
not attempt to cover basic prin-
ciples of fundamental knowledge.
The association stated it rep
resented $4,000 members in 81 af.
f1liated scientific organizations.
