Disappointing 81st
Congress Closes

Washington.-The S1st Congress
which was elected to repeal tn,
Taft Hartley law and didn't passeC
into history at years end.
Failure to repeal the oppressive
law was the No. 1 disappointment
of Congress that was elected
principally through the efforts o.
organized labor on a Democratic
Party platform pledged to repea
of the act.
The alliance of reactionary Re
publicans and Dixiecrats, formed
early in the first session of the
81st, blocked repeal of Taft Hart
ley and held fast to deal a number
of other disappointing setbacks tt
all the people in the 2 years thai
this Congress sat.
Other disappointments included
killing off middle-income coopera
tive housing, filibustering to deatl
all attempts to enact civil rights
legislation, and the enactment Of
many restrictive clauses such as
the Knowland Amendment to the
Social Security Act and the meat
axe amendments to appropriations
measures to reduce the number oil
workers.
The disappointments of the SIS
were partially balanced by enact
ment of the first liberalization OF
New Deal measures. These includ
ed expansion of the 14-year-old So
cial Security Act to include 10 mill
ion additional persons and liberalizC
benefits, and raising of the 12
year-old minimum wage from AZ
to rs cents an hour.
Also on the credit side were re-
peal of the federal ts> on oleo
margarine, liberalized law to ad
nit 100000 displaced persons til
next June 1, extension of rent con.
trolls, enactment of a public hous.
ing program, extension of the Mar.
shall Plan for one more year ano
appropriating funds to get Point
Four operating.
There were 2 regular sessions OF
the 81st Congress and a ''lamt
duck" session which ran from Nov
27 to Jan. 8. Returning from Nov
7 elections in which many friends
of the people backed by labor were
defeated, this "lame duck" session
made an unexpected record by ex-
tending rent controls to next March
81, appropriating $3S million emer-
gency food aid to Yugoslavia anC
appropriating funds for the Korean
war and defense sspeedup against
communist aggression.

draft legislative program for the
first session of the new 82d Con

How To Buy
Your Buying Questions
Answered BY Sidney
MargoIius

RDACH MILLER
whats the prescription for ex-
terminating roaches?"
Mrs. J. W., Hartford, Conn.
Most effective insecticide against
cockroaches and ants is compar-
atively new one called chlordane,
considered more powerful for ex-
terminating such crawling insects
than DDT. Buy the lowest priced
insecticide that lists "2 per cent
c h Jordan among ingredients
shown on the can: the brand name
doesn't matter. Even better is an
insecticide that lists both chlordane
and DDT in its ingredients; you
then have all-purpose preparation.
There are several brands in the
stores containing both. For des-
troying reaches, the chlordane pre-
paration shouldn't be sprayed
throughout the room, but only on
places where the insects crawl OF
hide, such as cracks in the floor,
undersides of drawers and cup
boards and behind or underneath
furniture. 1t can be sprayed in such
areas or painted on" with a
brush.

Il WAS PURGED
BLEATS DENHAM

Philadelphia (LPA) = If ever
there were any doubts about the
anti-labor views of Robert n. Den
ham, former general counsel of the
National Labor Relations Board
Denham himself removes them in
an article in the Saturday Evening
Post of Dec. 30.
"And So | Was Purged," bleats
Denham in the title. At the end of
the article he calls for removal of
all five present members of the
NLRB and his successor as general
counsel.
In between the title and the end,
Denham reveals himself as some
thing of an old gossip while dis
playing his anti-union bias in al
most every sentence. At only one
point would labor spokesmen be apt
to agree with him. That's when he
writes:
"Why l, of all people, should
have been selected by the Fair Deal
as the first general counsel | have
never understood. | am a Republi-
can. | had been a lawyer for nearly
40 years, and for the last nine of
those years | had been an NLRB
trial examiner. | insisted on trying
out various formulas under the
Wagner act to afford some relief
to employers as well as to the
unions, and in consequence | was in
almost continuous conflict with the
board"
Actually, Denham ought to know
how he got the job. In 1947 when
the post of general counsel to the
NLRB was created by the Taft
Hartley act, Sen. Bob Taft was rid
ing high in Congress-as well he
may this winter. The Republicans
had won the Congressional cleo
tions in 1916 and it was no secret
around Washington that the man
named general counsel would have
to be acceptable to Taft. Denham
was acceptable. But by the time
President Truman fired Denham
last September, even Taft was said
to have soured on him.
Whether Taft soured on Denham
or not, the Taft Hartley act has no
stronger supporter than the ex-
general counsel, 81 believe in the
need for the Taft Hartley act, and
| believe in enforcing it as Con-
gress intended" he says. When he
spells out his belief in detail by cit
ing cases in which he disagreed
with members of the NLRB, it's
always the union that's wrong.
Much of the article is gossipy
Denham version of the civil war
between him and NLRB chairman
Paul Herzog, in which the other
four board members sided with
Herzog. (At least one board mem
ber rocked with laughter when
Denham was mentioned in an open
hearing.) This state of war was
pretty well aired when President
Truman sent Reorganization PLAN
IL to Congress. Had the plan notI
been rejected, Denham would havel
been out of job then.
Trouble with the NLRB is that
it's too "Wagnerian," according tol
Denham. He thinks the board isl
trying to weaken the Taft Hartley
act so that in practice it will more
resemble the old Wagner
act. That's why he thinks the pre-
sent board and general counsel
should be fired.
