time will be lost unless the track
can be cleared for one man.
Senator Wiley is a pleasant.
folksy man given to the obvious
joke and the battered cliche. He
is conservative and iSolationist,
though not aggressively so. Demo-
Gratis who painfully built young
progressive organization which
carried the State for President
Truman in 1948 have been
hungrily cycling the Wiley seat
ever since.
It is not so easy, however. to
defeat homespun characters like
Senator Wiley and Senator For
rest Donnell Of Missouri. They
may seem out Of step with the
times. but they are magnets for
an up-the-creek vote and they
cannot be discounted.
Lack Of teamwork got the
Democrats into their predicament.
From the start. the organization
wanted Attorney General Tom
Fairchild. the only Democrat to
win a State Office in '48, to run
against Senator Wiley. Mr.. Fair
child is young and attractive, son
Of Supreme Court justice with a
great name in the State. But he
hung back.
Sanderson Steps In.
While he hesitated. Repre-
sentative Biemiler of this city
moved in with another candidate
from his congressional circle
William Sanderson, secretary to
Representative Merlin Hull. o
La Toilette Progressive turned Re-
publican. Various labor indorse-
ments were whipped up to add to
those of Mr.. Sanderson's friends
from rural areas.
MIR. Fairchild then decided to
run. The organization will do its
utmost to get him clear field.
In any case, it is confident he
will be nominated. They are hop
ing that Party Chairman William
Boyle. jr., possibly in cooperation
with Secretary of Agriculture
Charles Brannan, can appease Mr..
Sanderson.
Wisconsin is also talking about
its junior Senator and the declin-
ing fortunes of its 1948 Re-
publican presidential favorite,
Harold Stassen.
Senator Mccarthy is under sus-
tanned attack from most of the
States newspapers. But it is re-
gretfully admitted by some who
deplore him that he has probably
gotten himself on the map.
Reverse for Stassen.

siderable. A principal reason why

Prichard Lawyers Fight
For Suspended Sentence
BY the Associated Press

LEXINGTON. KY, July 10.-At-
torneys for Edward F. Prichard,
jr., one-time 'boy wonder" of the
New Deal, made last-ditch eff
fort today to save their client
from a two-year prison term for
ballot-box stuff1ng in the 1948
general election.
Prichard's attorneys petitioned
Federal Court here to suspend the
sentence and put the Paris, KY,
lawyer on probation. AS an al
tentative they asked that Prichard
be fined and put on probation or
that his sentence be reduced.
Prichard's counsel acted speed
lily after receipt of a mandate here
from the United States Supreme
Court confirming Prichard's con-
viction.
A hearing was set for Friday.
Prichard and A. E. Funk were
tried in the case. Funk was ac-
quilted.

personnel officials feel that most
reductions could be taken care of
by not filling some Of the job
vacancies that occur each year
through normal personnel turn
over.
It's considered likely that
House-Senate conferees on the
big 1851 money bill will agree to
some formula for reducing Fed
eral employment. The reduc-
tions, however, are not expected
to hit agencies too hard. It's
considered certain that the mill
tary, security and law enforce
ment agencies will be unscathed,
The other Federal agencies may
have to take a 5 per cent or more
personnel reduction, but actual
dismissals can be kept to a mini
mum, most Government officials
believe.
VACATIONS - Most agencies
are also resembling the enforced
vacation orders they have been
handing employees.
The House had ordered Govern
ment workers to use up their rs
days vacation time due them this
year by December 81. However,
the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee gave employees until next
June 80 to take the 26 days due
them for this calendar year.
The indications are that the
House-Senate conferees on the
bill will accept the Senate
version.
This will alleviate the situation
greatly for Federal agencies and
their employees. giving the workers
an additional six months time in
which to utilize their vacation
time.

The Star wishes to correct
an error in a story appearing
in yesterdays editions which
stated that Clark Clifford,
former adviser to President
Truman, was a legal counsel
for Pan American World Air
ways.
Mr.. Clifford represents the
Howard Hughes interests, one
of which is Trans World Air
lines. This company has
been opposing the purchase of
the American Overseas Air
lines by Pan American.
Mr.. Clifford, who resigned
his White House post in
January, said today that he

Court Backs NLRB
Waiver Of Red Oath
For AFL Officials

The National Labor Relations
Board today won court skirmish
with its general counsel, Robert
Denham, when the United States
Court of Appeals ruled that Amer
lean Federation of Labor officials
are not required under the Taft
Hartley Act to sign nom Communist
affidavits when an AFL local seeks
bargaining rights with an en-
ployer.
Although Mr.. Denham was not
directly involved in the appellate
proceedings, the appeal arose from
an opinion which he expressed that
AFL officers were required to sign
such affidavits on behalf of three
locals of the International Broth
erhood of Electrical Workers (AFL)
who sought bargaining rights with
the West Texas Utilities Co., Inc.
The locals had been certified
by the board as the appropriate
bargaining unit in August, 194G.
But, between September 10, and
October 18. 1947. the utility re-
fused to bargain. It claimed it
was acting on the expressed
view" of Mr.. Denham that AFL
officers must sign non Communist
affidavits as we'll as similar affi-
davits of officers of the locals and
the international.
Locals Filed Charges.
The court noted that NLRB
later repudiated Mr.. Denham's
Interpretation OF the Taft-Hartley
provisions and that the utility
agreed to resume bargaining with
the three locals.
In November, 1947, however,
the utility once again refused to
bargain, this time claiming that
the locals no longer represented
the majority of the employees. The
locals then filed charges of un-
fair labor practice with the board,
although the AFL officers already
had filed Communist affi-
davits, in order to clarity require.
ments of the Taft-Hartley Act.
Opposing the view of its gen.
eral counsel, the board contended
that the phraseology of the act
does not ordinarily include the
AFL. The board held this was
true because of the federation's
lack of participation" in the COL
lective bargaining process and
because the national and inter-
national AFL affiliates are "auto-
monomouS members" of the fed
Grafton.
Appeals Judge David Bazelon
held that the NLRB conclusion
that AFL is not a national or
international labor organization"
within the meaning of the Taft
Hartley Act sections requiring
non-C Communist af6davits was
correct.
Distinction Is Outlined.
The court further pointed out
that employees do not ,"partici-
pate" in AFL, nor does the Fed
Grafton actually deal with en-
ployers concerning labor condi-
tions or disputes.
The court concluded that since
the utility committed an unfair
labor practice by failing to bar
gain with the locals on Septem-
Der 10, 1947, "any loss of majority
subsequent to that date is at
tributable to the Illegal refusal to
bargain"
For that reason NLRB's order
that the utility bargain with the
three locals will be enforced, the
court ordered.

Britain Uncommitted
On Aid for Formosa
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, July 10.-A spokes-
man for the Foreign Office said
today Britain has given no pledge
to the United States to assist in
the defense of Formosa.
Ernest Davies, foreign under
secretary, made the statement in
the House of Commons in re-
sponse to a question from Labor
ite w. L. Wyatt.
Mr.. Wyatt then asked:
"Will the minister consider
making it quite clear that we do
not propose to extend the con-
flict beyond Korea by giving aid
in the defense of Formosa, an
entirely different theater, which
we recognize as being under the
suzerainty of the Chinese Com
munist government?"
Mr.. Davies said he would not
go beyond Prime Minister Atlee's
statement of June % that Britain
is supporting United States action
in Korea by placing its naval
forces in japanese waters at the
disposal of Gen. Macarthur.
Britain recognizes the Chinese
Communist government at Pei
ping. The United States does not.
