Senate Approves Bill
For Union Shop Facts
|WifhoutNLRB Election
BY the Associated Press

A bill to allow the sig ling of
union shop contracts without prior
elections among workers apes to
the House today, following tnani-
nous Senate approval. 1t would
amend the Taft Hartley lab6r re-
lations law.
The measure, approved by Voice
vote in the Senate yesterday, elso
gives legal standing to posi- ,ly
thousands of existing union shop
contracts, technically at fault be-
cause parent union officers had
not signed non-C Communist affida-
Wits before the agreements were
made.
A union shop agreement per-
mits the employer to hire nom
union labor, but requires that new
employees then join the union GER
titled by the National Labor Re-
lations Board as the lawful collec-
tive bargaining agency for his
plant within fixed period.
Taft Supported Amendment.
Senator Taft, Republican, of
Ohio, a co-author of the contro-
versial Taft Hartley Act, was a
sponsor of the amendment, but
was away on vacation when it
was called to a vote.
The Supreme Court ruled that
union shop contracts made before
the parent union officers signed
nom Communist oaths were in
valid. Principally involved are
hundreds of contracts signed by
CIO unions during the period
when President Philip Murray and
other top CIO officials held out
against the non Communist oath
requirement. Initial decisions
had been that the affiidavits were
not required of top CIO and AFL
officials.
The Taft Hartley Act became
effective in August, 1947. Senator
Humphrey, Democrat, of Mime
sofa said the bill would validate
only contracts made between then
and the dates when big fedora
ton officers fled non Communist
oaths-November z, 1947, in the
case of the AFL and December
%, 1949, in the case of the CIO.

Gen. Craigie, with South Ko-
rean Maj. Gen. Paik Sun Yup, a
member of the full U. N. delega-
= ton. had accompanied Admiral
Joy to Tokyo for the talk with
Gen. Ridgway.
Admiral Joy, for the moment,
withheld his formal reply to the
two latest accusations that U. N.
forces violated the neutrality
agreement.
North Korean 1t. Gen. Nam II.
head Of the Red delegation, re-
jected Admiral joys preliminary
reply on one protest.
That involved an incident in
which a Chinese patrol was am
bushed in the neutral zone and its
leader killed. Admiral Joy &C
knowledged receipts of Gen. Mans
blistering charge, said preliminary
investigation did mot Substantiate
the charges" and added he would
reply after he had studied full re-
ports of investigators.
Nam II rejected this, the Ko-
rean Reds Pyongyang radio re-
ported, and demanded severe
punishment Of the violators of the
neutral zone and a guarantee of
the on-recurrence of such Incl
dents"
The 'Voice of the United Ma
ClOnS command DrOaQcaSC COM
mented:
"On the basis of evidence pre-
sented. it would be more logical
to assume that the attackers, if
any, were a group of partisans
operating with the intention of
creating an atmosphere of tension
under which it would be difficult
for the conferences to succeed"
The other Red charge is that
U. N planes again strafed a
white-f1agged Communist liaison
jeeps The U. N. insists the Reds
must report in advance the route
and time of such travel. The
Reds refuse to do this.

Rear Admiral Arleigh A. Burke,

Rear Admiral Arleigh A. Burke,
now head of the United Nations
subcommittee currently trying to
reach a cease-f1re agreement with
the Communists in Korea, has
been ordered to report here, it was
disclosed today.
Routine Navy orders showed
that he will report from "sea
duty" to naval operations, which
comes under the direction of the
Chief of Naval Operations, Ad-
miral William Fetcheler. The
orders were issued yesterday.
A Navy spokesman said Admiral
Burke's orders were routine" and
held no special significance and
he said plans for the reassignment
Of Admiral Burke were instituted
several months ago."
New Pact Not Disclosed.
He could not say what the ad-
miral's specific assignment would
be in Washington.
During the bitter inter-service
rivalry three years ago Admiral
Burke, who was a captain then
headed "Op-23," a now defunct
branch of the Office of Chief OF
Naval Operations, which dealt
with "organizational research and
policy" 1t was credited with fur
niShing much Of the data for the
famed "admirals' revolt" against
defense policy which brought
about House committee hearings
and eliminated in the custer OF
Admiral Louis Denfeld as opera
tions chief.
Name Returned to List.
Later promotion board includ-
ed Capt. Burke's name on a list
OF officers eligible for promotion tc
rear admiral. The name was
stricken off the list as it went
through official channels, but the
late Admiral Forest P. Sherman
is said to have prevailed in insist
ing that it be returned to the list
In early 1850 Admiral Burke
became secretary Of the Navy Re-
search and Development Board

chief Of staff to the commander
iof Far East naval forces. Last
May he became commander OF

Truman Answers Foes
By Shouting Liar,
Senator Taft Charges
By the Associated Press

RoCKLAND, Me-, Aug. "a
Senator Robert A. Taft accused
President Truman today of at
tempting to dismiss charges of
Communist influences and corrup-
ton in the administration with
shouts of 'liar.'
The Ohio Republican - namedI
by Mr.. Truman as his favorite
for the COP. presidential nomin-
alton in 1952-told a party rally
here:
'The fact that the President Of
the United States can SO blithely
dismiss the proved charges, in
many cases brought out and sub
stantiated by Democratic commit
tees, is evidence of the low stand
ard he accepts himself and hopes
will be accepted by the people,"
Senator Taft challenged the
President to follow up denuncia-
tion of scandal mongers" by be-
ing specific.
Il suggest" declared Senator
Taft, "the President point out the
lies instead Of shouting 1iar'.''
Uncertain on Candidacy.
Swinging down east in a politi-
cal pulse-taking tour of Northern
New England, Senator Taft in
sisted he has not yet made up his
mind about running for President
but admitted he might be
forced" to make a decision early
next year.
Senator Taft frankly conceded
he is thinking about the early
presidential primaries-the first
in the Nation being New Hamp-
shire in March.
And group of Portland Re-
publicans whom Senator Taft ad-
dressed last night wondered If he
had spilled the beans about his
plans.
Urging hard organizational
work in 80, he said:
IF Republicans get out there
isn't any doubt of my election. ~
When the applause and laugh
ter died down. Senator Taft
added:
Il mean there's no doubt in my
mind we can win"
The Ohio Senator opened his
f1ve-day junket with a swing
through New Hampshire, where
he met party leaders-and was
told privately that the sentiment
there has not yet crystalized.
Silent on Eisenhower.
While swinging out with both
fists in his denunciation of the
Truman ADMINISTRATIONS policies
at home and abroad-Senator
Taft brushed aside attempts toI
feel him out on Gen. Dwight
Eisenhower as potential presi-
dental candidate.

is in the Democratic Party be-
cause half of them are left-wingI
Socialists who dominate the exec

Where
were you on
the night Of
December
1st??

we don't know how you were making
out with your budget on the night of De-
cember 1st-but, on an annual basis, we
were within an hour or so of reaching our
break even" point.
Let's divide all the money Standard Oil
took in last year equally among the 365
days, Sundays and holidays included.
Well, then, all the money that we took
In from January ! up TO noon of Au-
gust 2-21315 days, or $3.50 of the year
was our cost for materials, transported
ton and wear and tear. These items COM
pare roughly to what it costs you to feed,
clothe and house your family. They're liv-
ing expenses.
All the money we took in from noon of
August z until the early afternoon of
October "a shade over Sc full days, or
1919 of the year-was paid out in taxes,
including our own taxes and those we col
lect from customers for national, state and
local governments. This doesn't include
hidden" taxes, however; we and you both
work good many more days every year
to earn the money it takes to pay them.
All the money we took in from the after
noon of October = until the night Of
December was spent for wages, salaries
ana employee DEMENT'S. we worked 1919
of the year, almost exactly 5515 days, to
earn enough to pay wages and benefits for
our 46, 700 employees-but our total pay
roll, big as it is, is still less than what we
pay for taxes.
So there we were, at midnight of
December l, within an hour or so of hav-
ing enough money in to meet all our ex-
penses. From then until the end of the
year, what we took in was called our profit
and this is what happened to it:
The larger part-the money we took in
during $50 of the year, the 20 days up to
the night of December Olive used in the
business to expand and improve the facil-
tiles with which we serve you. The rest,
the money we took in during 2.7e8 or 10
days out of the whole year, was paid to our
$4,000 owners in the form of dividends.

The Declaration Of
Independence 4 Coz
by Rev. James Keller

When our Founding Fathers,
LIS years ago, drew up and
adopted a charter, now recognized
as one of the noblest documents
of all tines, they based its auth
ority on Almighty God.
In so brief a document, these
men might have made but one
reference to the Creator. But
they wanted to hammer home
truths which they feared others
might discard, truths which they
knew were fundamental to De-
mocracy.
Woven, therefore, into lie tex
ture of the Declaration of indie
pendence are four significant
sentences.

which the Laws of Nature and Of
Nature God entitle them ;"
Our forefathers might have es-
tablished their claims on the
Laws of Nature" alone. Instead,
they emphasized the fact that the
natural law itself depends on God.
2. The second sentence is
equally positive: "We hold these
truths to be self-evident, that all
men are created equal, that they

with certain unalienable Rights,
that among these are Lie, Lib
