In Denham Feud With
Members Of NLRB
BY the Associoted Press

A long -smouldering feud among
the Government officials who en-
force the Taft-Hartley Labor Act
was developing today into what
looked like an open, bitter fight.
The four members of the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board
studied with concern a speech by
the NLRB's own general counsel,
Robert N. Denham, sharply cri-
tical of board decisions.
Mr.. Denham told construction
industry employer group in New
York last night that board men,
bers still figure the Taft-Hartley
law will be repealed Their de-
cisions, he said, apparently are
being fitted to "the present po-
litical climate"
Board members, having read
Mr.. Denham's speech in advance,
decided to say nothing "for the
present" But it was learned they
are hopping mad and are even
considering carrying a complaint
dxect to President Truman.
Split Into Two Parts.
The NLRB, as an agency admin
istering labor law, was split into
two autonomous parts by the Taft
Hartley Act. The general counsel's
Office initiates complaints and
serves as policeman and prose-
cutor in seeing to it that en-
ployers and unions abide by the
law. The general counsel also has
charge of NLRB regional Offices.
The duties of the board itself
are confined to the quasi-judicial
function of actually hearing the
cases brought before it by Mr..
Denham. Under the old WagnerI
Act, superseded by Taft Hartley,
the prosecuting and judicial func-
tions Of administering the law were
both handled by the board itself.
Labor unions frequently have
asked the White House to remove
MIR. Denham. who was confirmed
by the Senate for a four-year term
running to December, 1851.
In his speech Mr.. Denham list
ed a series of recent NLRB de-
cisions with which he disagreed.
He indicated he thought en-
ployers should appeal them to
the courts.
Would Have to Defend Decisions.
AS board counsel and legal
agent, Mr.. Denham would have
to defend the board decisions in
court. His job under Taft-Hart-
ley is a big one and independent
Of board members control.
The labor case prosecutor,
speaking of his own staff, said:
I'VE think we know what it's
all about but here of late we and
the courts have been reversed so
many times by the board that
I'm beginning to wonder"
Mr.. Denham complained he had
often gone into the courts and
obtained injunctions against al
legged unfair labor practices, only
to have the board later toss out
the charges.
Mr.. Denham said that most of /
the NLRB's personnel, from board
members on down, still consist
OF persons who were raised in the
philosophy and, I think I may
say, in the religion" of the old
Wagner Act which Taft-Hartley
changed.
The four NLRB members are
Chairman Paul Herzog, John M.
Houston, former Senator Abe
Murdock of Utah and James J.
Reynolds. Mr.. Murdock was
named to the board after Taft
Hartley was enacted, but the
three others served while the
Wagner Act was in effect.
The scrap between Mr.. Denham
and board members has been 60
ing on for long time, but they
have kept it pretty we'll under

Sen. Downey Urges Early Statehood

CAP Special Washington Service)
 WASHINGTON, lP) - Senator Downcy CD.-CalifD today urged early Senate consideration of statehood for Alaska and Hawaii.
 "As a sponsor of statehood for Alaska" Downey said in a state ment, T hope it will be possible to get Senate action on these measures before the end of the sessions"
 Downey said chairman OMa- honey D.-WyoD of the Senate in terior committeefi had assured him a hearing on the two House passed bills will be held "as soon as possible and an early report submitted to the Senate"
 The California Senator said Alaska is ready for statehood"
 The arguments against state hood for Alaska are chiefly that it is so far from the mainland and has too small a population" Dow ney added.
 "However, in these days of swift communication, Alaska is much nearer the mainland by air routes than Los Angeles is to Washington. Its present pOpula- tion," about 100000 is small in re- lation to it's area, but l am certain statehood would prove a great stimulation to new settlement" the one American Labor party member.

 The Senate turned thumbs down on the coop plan last week, 43 to 38. A House-Senate confer ence committee will now work out a compromise housing bill without the coop program.
 But the Presidents lieutenants in Congress served notice that CO., op housing forthwith is a political issue for the November Congress sional elections. And it may get high billing in MT. Truman's rear platform speeches when he makes a swing to the West Coast this spring.
 Over jeers rising from the Re- publican side of the House, Demo- cratic leader Mccormack of Mas SaChusetts shouted:
 You may fool the public today, but not next November. This is going to be a live issue-an issue which I hope will be used advan- tageously next fall"
 He accused Republicans of "vot- ing one way and talking the Other.'
