Bobby Specht as Prince Charming,
it won a lusty round of applause.
The initial performance was not
without its spills. probably because
of an unsuspected bubble here and
there in the ice, which means sue

smoother. But it was difficult to
find fault with the glowing skating
of Denise and Francine Benoits-
couple of our particular favorites-

Reverses Ruling
On Boycott Case

Washington (LPA)-The gener-
al counsel Of the NLRB, Robert
N. Denham, suffered another blow
last week when trial examiner
William +. Spencer ruled against
him in a secondary boycott case.
Spencer held that labor organ
ization did not violate the Taft
Hartley acts secondary boycott
ban by picketing a building site on
which a contractor and three sub
contractors had men working
when non-union men were employ
ed on the project by two Of the
sub-contractors.
Denham had contended that the
union was acting Illegally.
The ruling was made in a case
involving the Denver, Colorado,

Council-AFL. The secondary boy
colt charge was brought by Will
lam G. Churches, the contractor,
and two of the sub-contractors, C.
j. st. Peter and p. B. lines, after
the Council posted a picket at the
site where Churches was putting
up four buildings.
lines, whose firm was doing the
plastering, and st. Peter, whose
firm was doing the roofing, were
listed by the Council as non-union
The picket carried a
sign reading: "This job is unfair
to the Building and Construction
Trades Council"
Trial examiner Spencer said
that the picketing was primary in
nature and outside the scope of
the secondary boycott ban because
it was directly aimed at elimina-
ting non-union conditions on the
project.
The examiner recommended dis
missal Of the complaint, and the
recommendation has the force of
an NLRB order unless contested

The whole amount Of the federal

go to the states to pay salaries
that will encourage "more and bet
ter qualified people to enter the
teaching profession"
Rep. Burke expresses hope that
this bill-which has the backing of
organized labor = may get away
from the tug-of-war between
Catholic clergy and educators, who
want funds for services to paroch-
ial school children, and those who
would limit federal spending to
public school students.
So far, the split in the House
Labor Committee on the education
bill has resulted in bottling up
four important measures-includ-
ing the Labor Extension Service
bill and an FEPC bill.
