NLRB Revises Rules
To LET UE Oppose
New Plant Elections

Inc ngnC between Cne ClO anC
the big union it ousted last month,
the United Electrical Workers,
moved closer toward a showdown
today after the National Labor
Relations Board revised its rules
to allow the UE to argue against
the holding of new bargaining
representative elections in plants
under contract to the union.
UE had requested District
Court injunction to force the
NLRB to hear It's arguments. But
the left-wing union dropped its
petition after the NLRB changed
its rules, and Judge Charles F.
Mclaughlin dismissed the case
today.
The original ruling which
caused the UE to seek the injunc-
ton was made December 7 by
Robert N. Denham, NLRB gen.
eral counsel. A representative Of
Mr.. Denham said today the rul-
ing had been altered to admit
evidence in NLRB hearings of the

Hearings Scheduled Tomorrow.
After ousting the 400 ,000-mem-
Der UE for alleged following of
Communist policies, the CIO set
up a rival union, the Interna-
tional Union of Electric Workers,
in an attempt to take away the
membership of the UE.
The new union has requested
bargaining elections in the cleo
trical manufacturing shops and
some employers want them, too.
UE claims elections cannot be held
where it has contracts.
The NLRB scheduled hearings
for tomorrow on three requests
for new bargaining elections.
They involve bargaining rights for
General Motors electrical division
workers, to be heard at Dayton,
Ohio; Sperry tGyroscope. at New
York, and the Rudolph Wurlitzer
Co., at Buffalo.
A hearing also Is set for Pitts
burgh December % on election re-
quests covering the rs plants of

On another part of the front
against left-wing unions the CIO
Is holding hearings in the cases OF
10 affiliates accused Of following
Communist policies. If the charges
are sustained those unions are
subject to the same treatment
given the UE.
At the initial hearing yesterday,
the Go Office and Professional
Workers Union charged the trial
was rugged" and amounted to
persecution. It limited its defense
to a statement saying that the
union is completely democratic,
subject to dictation from no one
and no political party.

Justified Tax Exemption

Both precedent and logic JUSTIFY con-
gressional approval of the joint resolution
to exempt from Federal taxes the tickets
sold by the Inaugural Committee for the
parade and other official inaugural events
next week. That any question should be
raised as to the propriety of such tax
exemption move is hard to understand.
II, as has been reported, opposition has
developed in some legislative quarters to
making the tickets tax free, it must be
attributable to misunderstanding of the
committees ume-tested financing pro-
gram. IL .Hj
Under this program, civic minded busi-
ness organizations of Washington have
subscribed to $2OO,OOO fund to guarantee
payment of costs involved in erecting
stands along Pennsylvania avenue and
otherwise enabling the public to partici-
pate to the fullest in the Inauguration
ceremonies This is traditional contribu-
ton by the business community to the
convenience and comfort of the thousands
of visitors who will come here for the
big occasion. 1t is an interest-free nom
dividend-bearing loan that can bring the
guarantors no profits but might bring
them losses. For If the proceeds from
sale Of the tickets fail to meet expenses,
the contributors are pledged to pay the
deficit as they did in 1887 and 1s41.
If anything should be left over after
payment of all the bills, however, the
profit will go not to the fund guarantors
but to the Community Chest Federation.
This charity aspect of the plan is not just
an academic talking point to gain tax
exempt status. The records show that
charity has benefited substantially in the
past from surplus inaugural funds. A
$4,000 surplus from President Benjamin
Harrison's Inauguration sixty years ago has
grown to more than s50,000 through pru-
dent investment of the original capital
and the interest has been used from time
to time for relief of the poor. Approx
mately $4,000 was left over from the
guaranty fund for President Hoovers in
auguration in 1929 and turned over to the
Community Chest. The Chest received
more than 0000 from President Roose-
velt's inaugural In 1888.
1t was with the distinct understanding
that this years tickets would be tax free
that the Inaugural Committee made its
arrangements for guaranteeing of the
inaugural expenses in the traditional way.
If, now that the tickets have been sold
without taxes, Congress were to approve
imposition Of admission taxes, the posi-
bility Of q surplus for the Chest would be
lessened. If deficit should result, the
tax bill would fall not on the ticket pur-
chasers but on the guarantors. This would
be manifestly unfair. The Star feels con-
ndent that when the foregoing facts are
made clear to the House and Senate, ap-
proval of the tax-exemption resolution
introduced by Representative Doughton,
chairman Of the House Ways and Means
Committee, will be given promptly.

remains that the more the number OF
television owners who read books, the
smaller the number of all-out video
viewers
Perhaps things may come to such pass
that the only feasible compromise will be
to combine television and book reading
in one program. Then, If one must keep
up with books and watch television at the
same time, he will need merely to relax
before his video screen and watch as well
as listen while the author reads out loud.
While this would not sell more books it
would obviate the necessity of learning to
read, thus giving the children more time
for healthy outdoor ecreation-between

TeIeviewinq Versus Reading

The book industry is worried about
television-and with good reason. Accord
ing to Raymond Tiffany, general counsel
of the Book Manufacturers Institute,
television has become devastating
competitor" of the world of books. He
wonders what can be done about this
alarming Ito him and lot Of other
people, development.
Mr.. Tiffany's formal statement calls
attention to a problem which Is puzzling
not only the writer's and publishers OF
books but the readers as well. With radio
the question never reached an acute stage.
One may turn on soft music and provide
an agreeable background for the reading
of fiction or facts. Many students even
perform the miraculous feat of doing their
homework satisfactorily while listening to
their favorite radio program, whether OF
the swing or quiz variety. With television
it is different, however. It is just not
possible simultaneously to read the latest
novel or biography and watch Milton Berle
or one of Ed Sullivan's shows
The person who received both tele-
vision receiver and a book or two for
Christmas faces for the first time q
dilemma which already has become COM
monplace in many television- equipped
homes With only one pair of eyes and
only limited number of hours for leisure
pursuits, he must choose between tele-
viewing and reading, or else hnd some
way of dividing his attention between
them. He even hnds it difficult sometimes
to find time for eating and normal con-
versation.
Mr.. Tiffany shows good sense in apprais-
ing the situation realistically and not with
out some degree Of hope that an ultimate
solution will be found. He points out that
television can be used to encourage reading
through special programs devoted to books.
One such program, "The Author Meets the
Critics." already is a regular network
feature. He suggests that the book pub
fishers and the television program pro-
ducers get together for the purpose OF
promoting more interest in books. But
too much of this sort of propaganda might
be self-defeating as far as television is
concerned. For the inescapable fact

Safeguarding Our Codes

Secretary Forrestal has called attention
of the new Congress to 4 loophole In our
national security laws that has been worry
ing military authorities for long time.
This is the lack of any statute adequately
to protect our military codes.
We have q law to safeguard diplomatic
codes and to penalize any one Illegally
divulging information about them, but this
act, passed in 1888, does not cover codes
used by the Army, Navy, Air Force and
Central Intelligence Agency. The 1917
Espionage Act is regarded as insufficient,
in that conviction can be obtained only
by proving intent to inture the United
States. It has been found in practice that
such intent rarely can be shown-yet great
harm could be done the Nation by person
whose principal purpose is to make money
by selling a secret, without realizing the
gravity of his offense.
No better illustration of the Importance
of maintaining the secrecy Of codes and
codifying techniques could be cited than
our success in breaking the japanese mill
tary code in World War II. How this was
done has never been revealed. But, by
reading the encoded radio messages OF
Japanese Army and Navy authorities, we
were able to prepare for and win the cru
cial battle of Midway, to shoot down the
plane of Admiral Yamamoto, commander
in chief of the Japanese Navy, and to keep
ourselves informed about great many
other plans of the enemy. And had the
Japs learned that we were deciphering
their messages the whole course of the
Pacific war might have been changed.
1t is Just as important, therefore, to keep
secret our activities in trying to break a
foreign code as 1t is to prevent an enemy
or potential enemy from solving our own
cryptograms.
The law proposed by the Defense secre-
tary, acting on behalf of all branches Of
military and naval intelligence, would give
to military codes the same protection now
afforded those of the State Department. 1t
would prohibit the disclosure Of any in
formation about codes, or about the tech
niques and devices used in cryptanalysis.
It would not 60 so far as to outlaw publi-
cation of the contents Of decoded mes
sage and hence there is no reason to fear
that the law would infringe freedom Of the
press The question Of press responsibility
in this field is another problem-one that

Capital Transit Inquiries

To the Editor Of The Star:
l noted with some pain your acceptance at
face value of the recent glib Capital Transit
release stating that 6sl,985 inquiries were
received from the public in 194S Among the
significant examples selected were those of an
anguished lady seeking advice about her in
advertent laundering of streetcar pass and
. conscience stricken gentleman desiring to
return a bus-stop sign "prankishly pilfered.'
wonder how many inquiries concerned
with equally welghty matters (such as the
vastly inadequate public transportation service
being rendered by the company were includ-
ed in this sizable number. also wonder
about the number of gullible readers who we're
ecstaticaly transported by this cute and per-
suasive sophistry. If not by Capital Transit's
buses and streetcars? MURRAY GREEN.

BRIGHT Promise

There could be no better example Of
constructive Federal research and expert
mentation than the work now being
carried out by the Bureau of Agriculture
and Industrial Chemistry In the field Of
automotive fuel If the project succeeds
as seems more than possible-our Ameri-
can economy almost certainly will benefit
on a large scale.
AS explained by DR.. c. e. Hilbert, chief
of the bureau-which Is a unit OF the
Department of Agriculture-the project
has to do with perfecting device designed
to make alcohol major factor in driving
automobiles The device would do away,
with the ever-increasing demand for high
grade gasoline by permitting the use of a
mixture OF alcohol and low-grade gasoline,
the alcohol "a gallon would be enough for
about 500 miles, being automatically
injected into the engine to step up power
as needed, such as for climbing hills.
Such a device, If it can be perfected,
will be of far-reaching Importance in the
fields of automotive progress, conserva-
ton and agriculture. Thus on the strength
of what DR.. Hilbert has said of 1t, its chief
potential benefits may be summarized as
follows: (D Americans will be able to
drive their cars more economically; (2)
since per cent of the country's lead
output goes into high-grade gasoline, and
since the need for such gasoline will be
sharply reduced, lead-which is in short
supply-will be conserved; 60 with the
Nations motorists using a mixture of
alcohol and low grade gas, the drain on
our fuel reserves will be cut by at least
10 per cent; and a. farmers will be able
to stop worrying about heavy grain sur
pluses. for those surpluses-or large part
OF them-will be bought up to produce
great quantities of alcohol to meet the new
automobile demand development helping
to promote stability in our agricultural
regions and hence in our economy as
whole
In commenting on this prospect, DR..
Hilbert has been careful to emphasize that
1t is still in the "iffy" stage Nevertheless,
in view of what his bureau has achieved
to date in tests conducted with the CO.
operation of a number of private indus
tries, there seems good reason to hope that
the day may not be distant when the
alcohol-injection device will be a standard
part of our autos, bringing with 1t wide
spread benefits. Here is one of those cases
where mans inventiveness, far from hav-
ing fearful connotation, Is altogether
bright In its promise

Government Holidays Deplored

Government Holidays DeplOred
To the Editor of The Star:
Congress profitahly might reread the Misses
Meyer and Meiers letter of January l3, call
ing attention to the poor return in work hours
that the United States taxpayer is getting for
his tax dollar-particularly since Congress
itself is the agency which controls the purse
strings and votes these days OF to Govern
ment workers
But I'd like to carry the point further call
ing attention to the overmanned condition of
the Government bureaus which makes it pos
sible for Congress to declare extra holidays
without fear that Government production will
suffer.
Any one who has lived in Washington more
than 10 minutes knows that instead of cele
brating the inaugural-as intended by the
holiday-90 per cent will head for points as far
away from Washington as possible, just as they
head for tennis courts In midsummer when the
temperature in their air-conditioned ofhces
necessitates closing down if it goes over rs
degrees. ANOTHER REBEL.
