] Of G. In "A Other Over
ECA Labor Appointments
By WILLIAM c. GAUSMANN

Washington (LPA)-The august
Journal of Commerce, one of
big business favorite newspapers,
is all up in the air over the appoint
ment of two trade unionists as
Economic Cooperation Administra-
tion mission chiefs in Europe.
Without giving any evidence or
names the j of C asserts that mem
bers of the mission stats in Nor
way and Sweden will resign in pro-
test against having to work under
trade unionists. That there will be
some designations among business
men on ECA jobs in Europe is GER
tain. Many of them stipulated
when they took the government as
signments that they'd only serve
for one year.
Within the past month John
Gross, an AFL man, and Michael
Harris, a CIO official, were ap-
pointed to head the ECA missions
in Norway and Sweden. Gross had
been labor advisor to the Norweg-
ian mission, and Harris the labor
man in the French mission.
Published statements of officials
of the Norwegian government hail
ing Gross boost into the top spot
refute j of C's slur that the two
Scandinavian La bor governments
didn't welcome the appointment of
Gross and Harris. Harris appoint
ment was announced less than two
weeks ago, and reactions by the
Swedes have not yet reached the
US.
When / was in Paris several
months ago, David Bruce, chief of
the ECA mission in France at that
time, now US ambassador to
France, indicated that he consider
ed Harris one of the most able peo-
pie with whom he had ever worked.
On only one count does the j of
c. story make sense. The paper as
serts that ECA European Chief w.
Averell Hartman was the moving
spirit behind the appointment of
the union men. Hartman has been
unstinting in his praise of the
work of Gross and Harris, and of

pensation) passed the Ohio Senate
on May "a by a vote of 27-0. AS
the bill passed the House on April
% by a 1920 vote, it now only

termination is made Of the perman-
ent partial disability suffered by
an injured worker, who has not
lost a member of the body by am
putation or other causes.

CAPTIVE MINES
CONTRACT HIT

Washington (LPA) = The
NLRB, by a unanimous vote,
last week voided the union
shop clause in the United Mine
Workers contract with steel
companies "captives mines"
A union shop is legal under
Taft Hartley only if the union
has filed non-Communist affi-
davits. This the UNIV has re-
fused to do. The contract,
which expires June 30, says
that its provisions will stand
unless overturned by the
"court of last resort"-presum-
ably the US Supreme Court.
The NLRB, however, said
that the union must not con-
tinue enforcing the contract,
and said that it must not en-
courage a strike to keep the
union shop.

Atomic Energy Commission, Not Just
Personnel, Should Be Investigated

Many trade unioniStS are dis
turbed by the sweeping charges OF
mismanagement lodged against the
Atomic Energy Commission and its
chairman, David Lilienthal, by Sen.
Bourke Hickenlopper Or, lowa).
Lilienthal, formerly head of
IVA, won the friendship of Ameri-
can labor in that job by the intel
ligence and integrity with which
he guided Twas development, and
by the genuinely democratic man.
ner in which he administered the
authority's labor relations.
The success of IVA made Lili-
enthal enemies as well as friends.
Power company heads and bigoted
politicians have on several occas-
ions tried to label him "red", and
have even whispered anti-semitic
insults about him in Congressional
lobbies.
When the atomic energy act was
being debated in Congress two is
sues were spotlighted: civilian YER
sus military control, and the ex-
tent to which the government
would direct the operation of
atomic energy plants and expert
ments.
Labor and liberal forces scored a
notable victory for civilian control.
A few conservative senators like
Hickenlopper and Vandenberg lined
up with labor on the issue.
Clearly some sort of compro-
mise between the advocates of
complete governmental operation
of atomic energy plants and the ad-
vocates of private development of
the new power source was requlr-
ed. The bill that finally emerged
may have erred in the direction of
giving excessive scope to private
corporations within the set-up.
Only very large corporations like
American Carbon & Carbide, and
American Smelling & Refining had
the personnel, the capital, and the
experience necessary to participate
under Atomic Energy commits
sion regulation-in the program.
One result Of this, many obser-
vers think, has been that in some
ways these corporations have be-
come the masters rather than the
servants of Acc. This is particu-
larly true in the field of labor re-
lations.
Some Acc officials will admit
off the record at least-that they
are disappointed in the union-man-
agement pattern in most atomic
energy installations. But, they say,
in this area Carbide and the other
big firms have them under their
thumbs. A great many trade union
lists in Oak Ridge are burned up
at the pushing around they've been
taking from the companies, and at
Aces inability to do anything
about it.
Much of the fault lies in the
basic legislation. The congression-
al Investigators of Acc should be
receptive to criticisms of this leg
islative framework within which
Lilienthal and his colleagues have
had to work. They should not spend
their whole time trying to draft
bill Of indictment against con
scientious public servant, nor make
the narrower aspects of security
their sole concern.

Howard Barge On the Rocks
 ear cordova

The White Cloud" a power barge with Fred Howard a.d Mrs. Howard aboard was reported to be on the rocks near Cordova.
 The incident was reported by The Cordova Times, which said that Bob Zentmire and engineer Leonard Holeman were also on board.
 Rescue attempts were being made, it is said, but old-timers around Cordova believe the water is too dangerous to take the barge off the reef. Consequently the rescue attempts are beinq confined to removal of the crew.
 Fred Howard, is the contractor who built the Veterans Housing Project in Seward, and who oper- ated the Cold Storage plant and Marine Ways before their purchase by the City of Seward Mrs How ard operated The Blue Shop, at that time called Cathryn's.
 The report said that Holeman. the engineer, walked distance of 2S miles through snow waist high across the slough of Prince Will liam Sound to get help. He sus- tained frostbitten fingers and toes but his health will not be inn paired as a result
 Sewardites will remember that the White Cloud" belonging to Towards was kept at the small boat harbor while the Towards made their home here.

Expressing gratitude for the hospitality extended the Navy ships and their personnel at Sew ard, the captains of the ships USS Salisbury and USS Suisun pre- sented the City of Seward with photographs of their ships at a tea aboard the USS Salisbury last Sunday afternoon.
 In their farewell speeches they remarked that they knew of no place they had visited where they were so we'll received and no place where they had less trouble.
 Citizens of Seward and city of ficials have been very much inn pressed with the fine behavior and discipline on the part of the crews. Quite number of the men and officers were taken out the highway to see the scenery, an1 a large number had a good look at Alaska moose. which have come down to lower ground be- cause of the snow.
 Many of the Seward civic or ganizations entertained the visi- tors with parties, and the Seward Memorial Church gave a free con- cert and showing of Alaska color slides. The highlight of the navy visit was the boxing matches. Since Navy men participated in the matches, Van Nyman gave Captain E. J. 8. Young a letter stating that the net proceeds of the program would be donated to the Red Cross or some other na- tional charitable organization.
 Captain Young revealed that the name of his ship was given for the Salisbury Sound in South eastern Alaska. He said that in- struments showed a depth of 72 feet beneath the ships tied up at the Army Dock here.

SINGERS INVITED TO MESSIAH PRACTICES

Practice for the Messiah con tinues on Wednesday nights It 500 o'clock in the Seward Mem- Orial Church, and is being at tended by about thirty singers It is hoped that more will turn out for practice on this very beautiful and impressive oratorio, but the producers feel that it will be imperative that particip- ants attend all or most of the practice sessions in order to give full justice to this wonderful but difficult work.
 Although the presentation will not be until sometime in Holy Week. it will mean a lot of hard work for the choir, and the pre- liminary practice already looks very promising. This is to be the most pretentious musical presen- tation in Seward for some time and will be given without charge. Members of all denominations are taking part and worFi' tremendously under the direction If Miss Shirley Ca'ran, music in- atructor at the high school.
