The National Labor Relations
Board today accused Robert N.
Denham, its general counsel, of
nullifying a section of the Taft
Hartley Act by exempting, in ef-
feet, the building and construc-
ton industry from coverage of
the law.
In a statement of policy the
FIVE member board indicated that
Mr.. Denham was coudoning il
legal closed shop contracts be-
tween contractors and the build
ing trades unions. The board said
that it would enforce the law
(Taft- Hartley as written" if and
when a case involving the issue
comes before it.
The statement marked another
round in the bitter intra agency
fight between the board and Cen
eral Counsel Denham, whose office
is independent of board control.

Stock Market SIumps;
Key Issues OFF 81 10 S6
BY the Assoeiaisd Press

NEW YORK, June 6.-The stock
market headed downward at high
speed today.
Key issues plunged 81 to an
extreme of $6 or so a share before
the market found a bottom.
Business was so heavy that the
high-speed ticker tape was unable
to keep up in reporting actual
deals on the floor Of the exchange.
The delay amounted to 4 minutes
at one time.
Today's crack-up followed one
Of the worst declines of the year
yesterday.
Wall Street sources said there
was nothing in the news to ac-
count for the slump. The market
has been advancing for just about
a year, however. and a temporary
downward adjustment has been
widely predicted. Many of the
experts believe that the markets
long-term trend is upward.
General Motors was a major ex-
ception to the downward move
following announcement Of a plan
to split the stock on the basis Of
two shares for one. Some sales
were made at $9l.25. up SITS a
share and the highest price paid
since 1929. AS the market weak
ened the gain was sliced In half.

apartment building in September
1948. with the intention Of making

Foreign Affairs Committee an
optimistic picture of improvement
in the security of the North At
lantic area since last year.
He testified on the House side
in support of the 81 .222, 500, 900 for
the second year of military aid,
while Marshall Plan Ambassador
w. Averell Hartman supported
the program before the Senate
committees on Foreign Relations
and Armed Services.
Total Effort of U. S. Included.
"A year ago the successful de-
fense of Western Europe, in the
face of a co-ordinated enemy at
tack. was a remote possibility" !"
said Gen. Bradley. THE military
estimates were discouraging. But
it now appears possible that these
European nations, with the help
that the United States has given
them and the strength derived
from our collective security plan
ming, will-if given time-zbe able
to defend and hold Western Eu-
rope, if our present rate of progress
continues.
This estimate that Western
Europe can be defended, of course
includes the total effort that the
United States could make if wal
should come. 1t means the full
effectiveness of our strategic Ali
Force in retaliation, if necessary
it means the full effective strength
of our Navy and Naval air arm in
keeping the sea lanes open anC
keeping supplies flowing, as vel
as defeating any submarine men.
ace; and it would mean a very
strong effort by our Army"
Although highly optimistic, Gen
Bradley was not extravagant ir
his promises, He reminded the
committee, for example, that the
arms program puts us closer tt
reasonable security" He ex.
planned:
Security Goal Held Reasonable.
II have chosen the word 'rea.
sonable' to describe the security
goal that we strive for, because
the alternative-absolute security
is unattainable."
Gen. Bradley also said he thinks
the chances are against war ir
the immediate future.
Representative Smith, Republi-
can, of Wisconsin, had asked II
we are in a critical situation to-
day"
The General replied:
II do not think there is any i'm
mediate threat of war, but at the
same time I think war might come
ether by accident or design-al-
though the chances are against II
at present.
German Revival Must be Studied
Other salient points in Gen
Bradley's testimony were:
From a strictly military view
point the defenses of Western Eu-
rope would be strengthened by
reviving the military potential o1

recognizes there are political con-

ate legal shift in the long
standing doctrine that separate
accommodations may be pro-
vided. so long as both races get
equal treatment.
Most of them conceded, how
ever. that the rulings greatly
frightened requirements that facili-
ties for Negro education and in
other fields must be really equal II
they are to pass muster in future
court proceedings.
Far-reaching Changes Seen.
The Supreme Court, in unani-
nous opinions In cases from Texas
and Oklahoma and a complaint Of
Negro segregation on Southern
Railway dining cars, did not pass
on constitutionality of the "Sepa-
rate but equal" theory that de-
veloped from a ruling in 1896.
But. in the belief OF many OBJ
servers. including some educa-
tional leaders in the South, the
court opened the way for far
reaching changes. These. they
said. may extend eventually to
schools other than postgraduate
and professional.
Attacks on the fundamental
question of separate but equal"
facilities are believed almost cer-
tain to come before the Supreme
Court again at the term starting
next October. Such cases have
arisen in several States as we'll
as the District.
One test could develop from q
case involving the Districts segre-
gated school system. The United
States Court Of Appeals. in a 81
decision last February, upheld the
system.
School Held Not Equal.
The Supreme Court ruled yes.

D. {. 10 Try 10 Keep
Upshur Hospital for
Rehabilitation Center
Commissioners Add
S5l. 900 to City Budget
For Necessary Repairs

The Commissioners decided to-
day to try to keep the Upshur
Street Hospital open as a rehabil-
itation center for tuberculosis pa
tients.
In order to do this, the city
heads must ask Congress to add
$51 900 to the city budget for the
fiscal year beginning July / for
necessary repairs at the institu-
ton. They decided today to ask
for the money.
Faced with this expense, which
included Sal, 900 for replacement
of the boiler system, District Of
f1cials earlier has recommended
closing the hospital June 80.
Seckinger Changes Views.
There was no indication of
whether the Commissioners in
tend to use Upshur street indefi-
nitely as a rehabilitation center
Officials said the institution never
was intended as a permanent CEN
ter.
However. Health Officer Daniel
L. Seckinger has said he will rec
ommend it's use at least until
other facilitiesare found.
DR.. Seckinger at first went along
with the suggestion of DR.. P. A.
E. Stebbing, superintendent Of
Gallinger Hospital, that the in
stitution be closed, but after
further consideration said he felt
it should be kept open.
More Central Location.
DR.. Seckinger ,said he believed
the hospital should be retained as
a rehabilitation center for patients
who have been treated either at
Glenn Dale Sanitorium or at Gal
linger.
He said he considered Glenn
Dale too inaccessible for a re-
habilitation program. The CEN
ter should be in the city, where
patients could engage in few
hours work a day and return to
the hospital without too much
effort, he pointed out.
The 18-mile trip from Glenn
Dale to Washington would tend
to exhaust the patients. the health
officer said.
DR.. Stebbing said he suggested
the closing because previous re-
quests for repair had been con-
sistently stricken from the
budget"

Two Witnesses
Requestof
Buchonun Schedules
Meeting to Consider
Contempt Citations

Officers of two organizations
under investigation by the House
Lobbying Committee refused to-
day to furnish the committee with
all the records it wanted as to
their activities.
Committee Chairman Buchanan
announced later that his group
would meet next week to consider
possible contempt action against
the witnesses. They are Edward
A. Rumely. executive secretary of
the Committee for Constitutional
Government, and Joseph P. Kamp,
executive vice chairman of the
Constitutional Educational League.
Both are from New York.
A third witness called in the
investigation. Merwin K. Hart,
president of the National Eco
nomic Council, supplied under
protest all information as to the
organizations financial affairs re-
quested by committee subpoena.
Republican Protest.
The hearing today was a stormy
one. Republican members of the
committee. led by Representative
Brown of Ohio frequently pro-
tested that Mr.. Buchanan was
conducting the investigation un-
fairly.
Mr.. Rumely said that he was
supplying nearly all of the finan-
cial and other data demanded by
the committee except the names
of large purchasers of his or
ganization's books and pamphlets
and the names of people who had
financed its publishing ventures.
Mr.. Rumely has filed a petition
for a District Court injunction
to prevent the committee from
getting the names of large con-
tributors to the Committee for
Constitutional Government. A
hearing on the request for in
junction will be held tomorrow
Charges "Phony Dodge"
Ch airman Buchanan has
charged that Mr.. Rumely's organi-
cation has adopted a phony
(book) sale dodge to make it ap-
pear as if it doesn't receive any
contribution over $780," Under
the Lobby Act only those who
give $500 or more a year need be
named as contributors.
In giving the committee the rec
ords on his National Economic
Council, Mr.. Hart cautioned
Chairman Buchanan to make sure
that the data will not be leaked
to news commentators.
Mr.. Hart appeared with his at
torney, George Montgomery of
New York, and was Immediately
told by Mr.. Buchanan that he
didn't need a lawyer.
Mr.. Montgomery then rose and
said in loud voice that he
thought Mr.. Hart did need his ad-
vice. He sat down only after the
chairman had admonished him a
half dozen times to be quiet.
Questions Legality.

nish records of his Constitutional
Educational League until it had
been established whether the
committee can legally investigate
