His precinct majorities grew until
he was recognized as holding

tainty and litigation"
Representatives of the National
Association of Manufacturers ano
the United States Chamber of
Commerce told the committee
yesterday that the Presidents
proposal. if it is carried out,
would undermine public conf
dence in the board.
Mr.. Denham's office now has
charge of investigating, issuing
unfair labor practice complaints
and prosecuting charges brought
by employers and unions. Most
of the personnel of the board, in
cluding the regional offices, now
are under direction of Mr.. Den
ham. Functions of the board are
confined to actual hearing OF
cases and the processing of re-
quests for collective bargaining
representation elections.
Senator Taft. Republican, o1
Ohio who supported transfer Of
MIR. Denham's powers to the boarc
a year ago. now opposes the
change. He told the committee
Tuesday that the Presidents plar
would make Chairman Herzoe
"the most powerful labor czar ir
the country" He argued that thu
functions of processing complaints
and prosecuting charges should bs
kept separate from the present
judicial function of the board.
Mr.. Herzog denied Senator
Taft's contention that the plar
would invest investigatory ane
regulatory functions in the boare
chairman. He said that a read.
ing Of the plan shows that such
powers go to the full five-mar
board.
Under the present setup, Mr.
Herzog said, Mr.. Denham has the
power to bypass decisions Of the
board and the courts if, not agree
ing with a decision. he refuses tc
issue a complaint based on the
identical set of facts.
Meanwhile, the Justice Depart
ment indicated it sees little
chance for court action against
labor leaders whose oaths dis
avowing communism were re-
ferred to it for examination by
Mr.. Denham.
The NLRB has asked the de-
partment to investigate the afh-
davits signed by left-wing union
officials, some Of whom had an
nounced publicly they were giving
up their Communist beliefs in Or
der to take oaths. About so cases
have been referred to the depart
ment.
The afidavits are required by
the Taft-Hartley Act before
unions can use NLRB machinery
for collective bargaining or the
handling of complaints against
employers.
Senator Taft has charged that
the department has been lax in
pressing the investigations.

Mr.. baltimore strongly defend

sinuation that when he was con-
nected with it in 1886 it was tool

Mr.. baltimore, who was once

He added that Senator Nc
Carthy. if he had exercised "even
common prudence" would have
known that in attacking the in
stitute he was being used as a
simple dupe" of a "fanatical
group Of persons who have been
thoroughly discredited" which
supports the Chinese Nationalists
regardless OF anything else.
Meanwhile. the Institute of Pa

statement in New York it "is not
and never has been a Communist
front organization or an intelli-
gence agency for any government
or group" It declared it did not
advocate policies or doctries and
that views expressed in its publi-
cations are solely those of the

tence in their field"
Mr.. baltimore said his visit to
Moscow in 1886 was in connec-
tion with his duties as editor of
the magazine and that he lee
tured there as he did elsewhere,
but received a cool reception be-
cause he had published. an article
criticizing Premier Stain.

After answering specifically
other charges suggested by Sem

baltimore concluded with q state
ment of his views on China.
| Saying he had always tried to be
an objective reporter, obtaining
information wherever he could, he
added:
1--WE face crisis in Asia as
we'll as in Europe. Our policy-or
rather our lack of a united policy
and of a strong and determined
push to effectuate that policy-has
resulted in the loss Of China to the
Communists, at least for the time
being" ---
He said it was perfectly clear"
that complete and absolute ab-
sorption of China by the Soviet
Union would be IAN unrelieved
catastrophe" for the United States
and Chinese people.
He called for an American pro-
gram Cd to encourage Chinese
nationalism, even if it is COM
munistic, capable of standing up
against Russia, and CD to en-
courage democratic forces within
