Showdown With NLRB
In Authority Dispute
By james Y. Newton

The long standing feud between
the five-member National labor
Relations Board and its general
counsel, Robert N. Denham, has
broken out again in connection
with a case pending before a Fed
eral Circuit Court Of Appeals.
The board has asked the Sixth
Circuit at Cincinnati to disregard
brief filed in its behalf by Mr..
Denham, declaring that the gen.
eral counsel ignored specific in
structions of the board. 1t also
requested time in which to file
it's own brief.
Thus called upon to decide
whether or not to accept the Den
ham brief, the court also may rule
on the dispute over authority be-
tween the board and general
counsel.
UAW Involved.
In the case, the board seeks
court enforcement of an order di-
rected against the Vulcan Forging
Co., Dearborn, Mich. The union
involved is the CIO United Auto
mobile Workers.
In some instances where he has
differed widely from the boards
views on Interpretation of the
Taft Hartley Act, Mr.. Denham
said he had withdrawn as the
boards advocate in court and
asked the board to handle it's own
case.
But as to the controversy over
handling of the Vulcan Forging
Co. case, Mr.. Denham said the
board "has the idea it can tell me
what I can put in brief. My
first duty is to the profession and
the courts"
The general counsel said the law
gives him the job of representing
the board in court, and he merely
was seeking enforcement Of a
board order. However, the five
member panel holds that Mr.. Den
ham is subject to board regulations
in matters of enforcement.
Attempts Showdown.
BY filing the brief with the
court against board orders, Mr..
Denham is attempting to bring
to a showdown the dispute over
authority. He is doing the same
thing in a controversy as to
whether he or the board has the
authority to appoint heads Of
NLRB field Offices.
Miss Ida Klaus, solicitor for the
board, asked the court in Cincin-
natl for permission to file the new
brief, declaring that the one filed
by Mr.. Denham sis not in fact a
brief of the NLRB." She said the
general counsel acted "in contra
vention of the board members
specific instructions not to file
such a document as the brief Of
the board
Board agents refused to discuss
the case directly while the matter
is pending in court. But they did
say that the points Of difference
in the case were not material, that
the question was entirely one Of
who is in charge of enforcement
litigation.

to minimize the number of hir-
ings for new Federal jobs in
Washington as much as possible
Instead, attempts will be made
to place as many new employees
as possible in various cities
throughout the United States.
OF course, nsidera e
amount of hiring will be done
here. The Defense Department
already has announced that 8,617
new employees will be hired in
Washington. And this amount
will be increased should the ma
tional emergency grow worse.
But Federal officials want to
avoid a repetition of the mass
hirings that took place here dur
ing the last war, which brought
Government employment in Wash
ington to nearly 100000 workers.
They feel that there simply
isn't enough housing and Office
space available here to take care

feel that the work of Government
can be expedited more rapidly if
new employees are placed in vital
Government projects near their

CHICAGO, April 1.-THE pow

In the first concerted move to

up in 1850,
Some of this. however. may b

But the opinion was unan-
imous that it would this year" he
declared. We are concerned pri-
marily with football. That's our
family jewels-it has to carry all
the athletic load"
The Big Ten observed it has the
positive conviction that the tele-
vision Of its own football games
should not endanger the welfare
of the athletic programs Of other
colleges and high schools"
X. l.. TUG Wilson. Big Ten
commissioner and NCAA executive
secretary. cited as an example
Otterbein College in Ohio, which
drew only l72 persons to a game
held the same day the Ohio
State game was being televised.
Many small colleges, to avoid
such conflict, shifted their Satur-
dav games to Friday nights" said
Wilson. But this interfered with
high school games. So all down
the line television left a distinct
effect"

tered the discussions but did not
