WANTS COMMUNIST
AFFIDAVIT RETAINED
ny AssocIared Press,

WASHINGTON, Feb. IS
Chief Counsel Robert Denham ol
the National Labor Relations
Board told d Senate Labor com
mittee that the present law for
bidding hearings before the MI
RIB of those unions whose mem
bcrs do not sign the non com
munist oath should be retained
in the new labor bill being con
sidcrcd by Congress.
This feature is one of the most
controversial of the old labor
law. the Taft Hartley Act No
administration sources are press
ing for It's elimination. and there
is a good chance of it being re
tanned in the new law.
Many labor leaders, notably
John L. Lewis, have refused to
sign the affidaVits even though
they state emphatically, that
they are not Communists.
30 persons will be interviewed
to defend and attack the Taft
Hartley Act before the labor
committee makes It's rccommcn-
dations on February %.

MARTHUR TOLD NO TO Hts
REQUEST FOR MORE TROOPS
cry Ths A..orin,ca Press,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-Thc
Army high command disclosed
today that General Douglas Mac
Arthur had asked for more
troops for the occupation of
japan and had been refused the
request.
Secretary of the Army Royal,
who has just returned from an
inspection tour of Japan, said
that Macarthur wants more men.
| He pointed out that, as was tffe
practice during World War II,
too many soldiers are being di-
verified to the European theatre.
Despite that contention, the
high command decided against
giving Macarthur any more
troops. 1t was reported that
Macarthur had asked to be re-
llcved of his command, but Roy
all asserted that so far as he
knew, there is no truth in that
statement. In none Of his con-
verSationS with Macarthur, Row
all said, did he asy anything di-
rcctly or indirectly about retir-
ing from the Army.
