Virginia 10 Weigh
Strike Law RuIinq
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 28.-A
ruling is expected soon on whether
a United States Supreme Court
decision has any effect on the
validity of the Virginia Public
Utility Labor Relations Act.
Attorney General j. Lindsay AL
mond, jr., said yesterday he would
render an opinion as soon as he
examines the high court decision
which nullif1ed a Wisconsin law
that banned strikes and required
compulsory arbitration in public
utility labor disputes.
Although Virginia's act permits
strikes and does not require arbi-
tration. there remained a question
of whether or not it "impinges on"
Federal legislation in the same
field
Labor leaders throughout the
Old Dominion hailed the ruling
as justification Of their opinion
that the Virginia law and some
other State labor laws are uncon-
stitutional. Some thought the
Virginia law ought to be tested in
the courts-but there were no
immediate volunteers.
The fact that Virginia's act
lacks the compulsory features of
the Wisconsin law. was given by
State Labor Commissioner E. M.
Boggs as reason he believed the
Old Dominion's statute would not
be affected.

{ 6. Exempt industries. Mr.. john
ston called for hearings on how
to apply wage control to indus
tries which are exempt from price
controls under the defense produc-
tion law. He told questioners this
did not mean general exemption
of workers in such industries from
wage ceilings; that he had in mind
a few unusual and isolated cases
"of no general interest"
7. Tandem" wage adjustments.
Mr.. Johnston said the wage freeze
interrupted completion of wage ad-
justment programs in some in
dustries. The board should con-
slider permitting such programs to
go ahead, he suggested. This
might have happened, for in
stance, in an industry which, upon
signing a wage contract with it's
production workers, normally
grants a corresponding increase
to its unorganized executive, cler-
ica1 and administrative staff. If
a company had not had time to
extend the increase to these
groups. they would have been ex-
cluded from the normal step-up.
Tandem wage adjustments
are those going to two groups of
workers whose wages are normally
related or coupled.

Fairfax Committee Begins
Work on Sanitation Survey

A committee appointed by the
Fairfax County Board of Supervi-
sors to study possible creation of
q sanitation authority held it's Or
ganization meeting at Fairfax last
night.
James J. Corbalis, jr., county
sanitary engineer, outlined to the
12-member committee problems
confronting the county. The pro-
posed sanitation authority would
be a separate county agency set
up to take care of all water, sew
er, storm sewer and garbage and
trash collection services.
Problems arising from unsatis-
factory services in some areas
were described by Dr. Fred Heath,
county health officer, and the ims
portance of adequate sanitation
services for orderly development
was discussed by H. F. Schumann,
county planning director.
If the authority plan is adopted,
Fairfax County will become the
first political subdivision in the
State to set up such an agency
under authorization of the last

Bill Bars Outside Activity
OF Armory's Manager

Representative league, Demo-
crat, of Texas, has introduced a
bill to provide that the manager
of the District Armory shall not
engage in any other business, vo-
cation or employment"
Mr.. league, a member of the
House District Committee, said he
does not know Arthur j. (Dutch)
Bergman, the present manager of
the armory.
IF he really earns his $4,000
salary a year as manager and
carries on other activities outside,
that's we'll and good" said the
legislator. But the District Com
mittee should look into it,"

Labor Chiefs May Quit Defense Effort Today

lined by Mr.. Johnston to which
the labor leaders object. They
wanted Mr.. Johnston to modify
wage policy himself. rather than
go through with what one labor
official described as the uncertain
hocus-pocus" of relying on the
wage board to act.
Proposed Changes Listed.
In approving the original wage
formula. Mr.. Johnston asked the
board to make these changes:
/. Escalator clauses. Most CEN
tracts calling for wage increases
attuned to living cost shifts will
be covered by the 10 per cent
formula, he said, but some wage
changes, due shortly, are not COW
cred. He requested the board to
prepare the necessary regula-
tions" to permit escalator increases
which are provided in present con-
tracts to operate until June 80.
2. Productivity increases. Some
contracts provide annual pay,
boosts to recognize increased OUT
put per man. If productivity
actually is increased, Johnston
said, price increases are not re-
quired and the effect is not infla-
tionary. He asked the board to
approve productivity rises, if writ
ten into contracts signed by .)anu-
ary 25. But he suggested that
some form of deferred payment"
be devised instead of payment in
cash.
3. Fringe benefits. Welfare and
pension plans agreed to before
January 25 are not counted as part
of the 10 per cent but those won
by workers in the future must be
considered as part of the allow
able percentage. Mr.. Johnston
said this should be changed.
insofar as health, welfare and
pension plans are concerned, be-
cause they frequently require
contributions from workers and
therefore are deflationary. In any
case they do not add to buying
power. he said.
4. Hardships and inequities. Mr..
Johnston asked the board to draft
rules providing adjustment of
hardship cases arising from the
wage freeze. The board should
handle such complaints case by
case, he said.
5. New plants. Mr.. Johnston
recommended that procedures be
set up quickly to provide wage
schedules for new plants, MANY

Du Ponf Plans Plant
Near Martinsburq
By the Associoted Press

MARTINSBURG, w. Va, Feb
28.-Plans for constructing q
multimillion- dollar commercial ex-
plosives plant near this Eastern
West Virginia town were an
nounced today by the E. I. du
Pont de Nemours & Co.
The new project will be built
on a 1,500-acre site about 8 miles
from here in what is now open
country. 1t will be bounded by
the Potomac River on one side
and Pennsylvania Railroad tracks
on the other.
Philip j. Kimball, assistant gen.
eral manager of the explosives de-
partment, said the plant would
manufacture commercial ex-
plosives used for mining, quarry
ing, construction and agriculture
1t will employ about $50 persons
mostly from the surrounding area
Mr.. Kimball said, "We came
to this area because it is neal
most of the Eastern industries
which are heavy users of COM
mercial explosives and has good
water, power and transportation
facilities"
The plant will have complete
waste control equipment, he add
ed, to prevent both air and water
pollution.
Du Pont already operates two
plants in West Virginia. One at
Parkersburg employs more than
600 employees turnin> out plastic
products. and another at Belle
employs about 1000 workers in
the manufacture of more than 100
different chemical products.

ton with Mr.. Kronheim and
others in the liquor business. He
contended the liquor industry con-
stituted moral, although not a
legal, crime.
He said it would be a strange
thing if Mr.. Donohue as Com
missioner would stand for vigorous
enforcement of the liquor control
laws when this concerned a busi-
ness for which he had served as
counsel.
Under questions by Senator
Welker, Republican, of Idaho, Mr..
Ramsey said he knew of nothing
against the honor, integrity or
ability of the nominee, except that
he had served as counsel for the
liquor industry.
Experience Seen Valuable.
Senator Hunt, Democrat, of Wy
oming, inquired whether Mr..
Donohue's knowledge of violations
of the liquor law, wouldn't put him
in position to be OF tremendous
value in the control of the liquor
industry?"
Mr.. Kronheim was praised by
Mr.. Donohue, who said no man
had done more for charity of all
kinds in the District. The people
of Washington do not know how
fortunate they are to have a man
of Mr.. Kronheim's caliiber in the
liquor business, he added.
He said he was counsel for Mr
Kronheim before Mr.. Kronheim
vent into the liquor business and
that he owns no stock and never
has been an officer in the Kron-
helm company. Mr.. Donohue re-
sented the allegation that Mr..
Kronheim was the "czar" of the
liquor business here. remarking
that there are about 18 whole
sale dealers in Washington and
that Mr.. Kronheim does less than
Is per cent of the business.

hearing until 10 am. Friday.

the concessions.

Acc Boosts Bonuses
For Discoveries of

West Reich Exhausfs
PaymenfU Union Credit,
Suspends Imports
BY the Asseeiated Press

BONN, Germany, Feb. 2s.-
West Germany, her European
Payments Union credits nearly
exhausted. yesterday suspended
nearly all imports from partici-
pants in the union until possibly
stricter import regulations are
drawn up.
Economic experts here unoff1-
cially described the announcement
as a virtual declaration of Ger
man bankruptcy" and predicted
early repercussions throughout the
German foreign trade structure,
With imports thus held to a
comparative trickle, experts will
survey the position to see what
can be slashed from import
schedules to save critically low
foreign exchange.
The management of the pay
ments union in Paris also is
studying the situation. The union
is a clearing house pool for lib
eraliZing the exchange of money
and trade. 1t was set up last
September by the Marshall Plan,
which put in $3.50 million to get
1t started. Eighteen West Euro
pean countries are participants.
A government communiuue said
the measure, halting all but a
few special imports, was purely
temporary.
Germany already has used up
the original credit of 1920 mil
lion which was to last until July.
All but $40 million of supple
mentary special credit of $120
million-to last until September

Spruill was sent to Gallinger Hos
pital for mental observation. She
later was released.
Mr.. Donohue recalled that sub
sequently he, the United States
attorney, the assistant United
States attorney and other District
officials were sued for a "Stagger-
/ ing figure" but that this ultimately
was dismissed.
Thanks Witnesses.
Mr.. Donohue said he wanted
to thank the people who had tes-
titled before the committee, al
though the earlier witnesses had
been against him, because, he said,
this is a demonstration of the
American way of life" But he
added:
1T has not been pleasant to
sit here and be told that I was
not known, or to be compared to
the rotten apple that SpoilS the
barrel"
Likewise" he said, ''it is not
pleasant to have it said that despite
what I have tried to build up in
so years l can't be trusted with
responsibility"
1T seems I have been found guilty
by association-by association with
an industry that is legal"
Not Liquor Lawyer"
Mr.. Donohue denied that he was
a liquor lawyer" He told the COM
mittee the income of his firm from
May l, 1949, to May /, 1850, was
S56,539, of which $10,460 was from
cases which were not in any way
related to the liquor business. His
income from liquor interests, he
said, was about Is per cent.
He said it was apparent that he
was not the choice of all of the
people here. but added the OBJ
servation Il have never known a
person who was elected to office
who was the choice of all the
people"
He said he wanted to challenge
the complaint that he had failed
to demonstrate the necessary in
terest in community life. He said
he came to Washington in 1919
to attend Catholic University and
that later the university gave him
a teaching post in economics and
banking while he was studying
law.
He said thousands of his for
mer students are scattered over
the country, and that some have
risen to the presidency or other
high places in the banks here.
Refers to War Service.
He referred also to his service
in World War I and the fact that
he has spent 81 months in the
last war with the Heavy Bonn
bardment Group of the Air Force.
In 1949, he recalled, he was
asked to study the file in the case
of Harry Bridges, West Coast left
wing leader in the Longshore-
mems Union, and later accepted
appointment as prosecutor. That
work occupied over year and
wound up with the conviction of
Bridges on a charge that he COM
mitted perjury when he denied
he was or had been a Communist
Party member.
He said he suffered financial
handicaps during this service, be-
cause II and my partners in the
Washington law firm did what any
honorable lawyer would doy-we re-
fused to take any cases in which
the Government was involved
He said he learned from the
Bridges trial, that Communists
constituted a menace to the Sc
curity of thea United States, and
that at his own expense he went
to Chicago to make addresses to
tell of this threat.

Chic In Line For
Unwarted Record

Ohio probably will have an
unwanted distinction for the third
successive year. In 1949 Ohio lead
the states in the number of nc
cidents where highways and rail-
roads cross. The records Of the
Ohio State Safety Council show
one more fatality in 1850 than last
year 1t is probable that the total
number of accidents will reflect
an even greater increase.
In exactly one third of the cases
already reported a vehicle drove
through a crossing gate or struck
train. Sixteen percent of the
collisions resulted in personal in
jury while a fatality follows in
so.
One is obligated to admit that
poor driving produces most Of
these mishaps, 500 of which oc-
cur at locations protected by
special devices-flashing lights,
bells, wigwag signals or gatesG

Many instances of vehicles skid
ding into train or in the path
of a train, have been reported.

Farmers Advised
To Take Action
On Fertilizers

Madison county farmers we're
advised to take immediate action
if they want to be sure of having
the fertilizer they will need for
1851 spring planting operations.
Shortages OF material are al
ready evident and increased con-
sumer demand from other areas
will likely cause fertilizer short
ages in Ohio, says a statement is
sued BY the Middle West Soil I'M
provement Committee. Govern
mont restriction on the civilian
use Of suIfur by 20 per cent has
cut the production of superphos-
prate. Supplies of nitrogen ferti-
lizer materials are already tight,
with further cuts likely as defense
needs are stepped up.
Increased aercages Of cotton
are called for to meet defense
needs and cotton farmers in the
South will be using more fertilizer
this year. When the full effects
Of this increased demand are felt,
says the statement, "Ohio fertilizer
manufacturers may have a diff
ficult time providing supplies for
farmers Of the state when they
need pIaEt food most.
80 it is good business to place
your order as soon as possible and
take delivery as soon a your fer

Meanwhile, the demand for fer

areas.
"The use of fertilizer is essen
tial in building high level crop
production called for on Ohio
