Tobey Seen in Running
For President Pro Tenn
# Bridges Bows Out
BY J. A. o'Leoy

Friends of Senator Tobey. Re-
publican, of New Hampshire say
he will be in the running for
President Pro Tenn. of the Senate
if his colleague. Senator Bridges
of New Hampshire, passes up that
honorary post to remain as floor
leader.
Senator Tobey is in Europe, but
is known to have expressed an
interest in the assignment of tenn
porary presiding officer. The only
function connected with the post
is to preside when the Vice Presi-
dent is not present.
Senator Bridges. who outranks
all other Republicans in seniority.
was expected originally to move
from minority floor leader to Pres
ident Pro Tenn. at the new session
because of the heavy duty he will
have to perform as new chairman
of the Appropriations Committee.
Hope to Avoid Contest.
There is growing pressure, how
ever. to have Senator Bridges re-
main as Republican floor leader to
avoid a contest between Senators
Taft and Knowland for that job
If Senator Bridges keeps the lead
ership assignment, some one else
would be chosen President Pro
Tenn.
The name of Senator Butler of
Nebraska also has figured in spec
ulation over the President Pro
Tenn. job. If the choice is made on
the basis OF seniority, Senator
Tobey outranks Senator Butler.
The seniority rule is virtually au-
tomato in moving men up on
committees, but other factors
sometimes enter into the filling of
party leadership posts. The late
Senator Wherry of Nebraska was
outranked by several other Re-
publicans when he became Re-
publican floor leader.
No Leadership Fight Seen.
One source close to Senator Taft
expressed confidence today the
Republicans will organize the Sen
ate without a leadership fight.
He implied that they will try to
agree behind the scenes on a.
slate of officers before the Re
publican Conference meets, rather
than have an open contest.
This was taken to mean that
Senator Taft will not announce
for leader if to do so would mean
an open struggle for the job with
Senator Knowland or some other
G. o. P. Senator.

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-The dis
trict attorneys Office made a new
assertion yesterday that a Fire
mems, Association official handed
$4,000 to the then Mayor William
lo,Dwyer. in 1949 as a campaign
contribution-and that q political
lpal witnessed it.
An affidavit fled in General Ses-
sions Court by Assistant District
Attorney Alfred j. Scott said the
transaction was witnessed by Jer-
ry FinkelStein, who was Mr..
ODwyer's campaign manager in
his successful bid for reelection
that year.
Mr.. Scotti's affidavit accom-
panied a petition asking issuance
of an order for Mr.. Finkelstein to
show why he should not be held
in contempt of court for testimony
he gave to grand jury investi-
eating the alleged payment.
Still in Mexico.
Mr.. ODwyer, who later re-
signed as mayor and became
Ambassador to Mexico, recently
resigned the diplomatic post. He
is still in Mexico.
John p. Crane, former presi-
|dent Of the uniformed Firemen's
Association, told the Senate Crime
Committee last year that he gave
the money to Mr.. O'Dwyer on
1.-THE steps of Oracle Mansion, the
mayors official residence. to as
sure his good will toward the fte-
men.
The affidavit was the first pub
lie intimation that Mr.. Finkel-
stein was present during the al
legged transaction.
| It said that Mr.. Crane met MIR
Finkelstein at Mr.. Finkelstein's
apartment on october 10. 1949,
and that they drove to Oracle
Mansion together.
! Mr.. Finkelstein was quoted in
the affidavit as saying he could
not remember Mr.. Crane calling
for him.
1T could have happened; !

stein and Mr.. Crane discussed the
campaign and the contribution
Mr.. Crane was to make.

Mr.. Kprulan answered:

Mr.. norman opened his argu-

shows that:

Meanwhile. there were some
signs that field commanders in

Eisenhower a new offensive toward
the Yalu River, preceded by a

Field officers urged such a drive
when nine members of the House
Armed Services Committee visited
Korea in September. The same
arguments may have been re-

situation has changed little in the

Representative Short. Repubh-

More Textile Workers
In South Join Bolt
From Clio 10 AFL
BY the Associated Press

GREENSBORO, N. c., May II.
Thousands of Southern Go
textile workers began voting to-
night to switch their affiliation to
the AFL. and the move promised
to gut the Textile Workers Union
of America of it's Southern mem
berShip.
The voting is scheduled to con-
tinue at locals in North Carolina
throughout tomorrow. Locals in
South Carolina are expected to
follow suit sometime next week.
The AFL union-United Tex
tile ENTHUSIASTICALLY has made
a clean sweep of 5000 'TWUA
workers at the huge Dan River
Mills. Danville, Va.
At least one mill in Alabama
was scheduled to vote today on
switching its affiliation.
Seek to Heal Split.
But even as the voting took
place, TWUA officials were max
ing efforts to heal the split. James
Bamford. TWAS Southern di-
rector. set up headquarters here.
Another TWUA official is working
out of Durham and personal rep
resentatives of President Emil
Rieve have been sent into the
field in an effort to hold the
workers in line.
The entire burden of the re-
volt has been placed on Mr.. Rieve
and his bitter feud with George
Baldanzi. former vice president.
Mr.. Baldanzi had been supported
by a majority of the Southern
workers for the TWUA presidency
at the national convention in
Cleveland last month.
When Mr.. Baldanzi's bid for
power failed, many of his sup
porters got the ak from Mr.. Rieve,
either being fired outright or sus-
pended without pay.
Lewis Conn, former North Car
DINA director for the union who
was suspended, has spanked the
revolt in this State.
He has promised to deliver at
least 10000 of the States $4,000
textile workers to the AFL.
Delegates Approve Switch.
Mr.. Conn said delegates from
locals at the five Greensboro cone
mills met here this morning and
voted unanimously to switch to
the AFL. He added that the $500
workers affected would have to
vote on the switch, but were ex-
pected to support Mr.. Baldanzi
and the ALL move overwhelm-
1ngly.
Workers at Erwin mills in Neuse,
Erwin, Cooleemee and Durham
voted tonight and are expected to
complete the balloting some time
tomorrow. About 1000 workers at
those mills are expected to ap-
prove the switch.
However, union leaders at Roam
oke, Va, reported that the 5000
union workers at American Wis
cose there would not bolt the

Private Group Of Ten
Urged by KEN 10 Seek
Way 10 Bar Strikes

A 10-member commission OF
private citizens to work out a
formula of voluntary agreements
to prevent strikes in defense in
dustries was proposed yesterday
by Senator KEN, Republican of
Missouri.
He said he would introduce a
resolution to that effect in the
Senate tomorrow. The commits
sion, similar to the Hoover Com
mission on reorganization of the
executive department, would study
labor management problems and
try to devise a plan acceptable
to employers and employees.
Members would be appointed
from private life. Senate and
House majority conferences would
appoint three each, and Senate
and House minority conferences
two each. The group would be
responsible to Congress and report
within three months.
Neither labor nor management
wants Government seizure of vital
industry" Senator KEN stated
What this Nation needs to restore
greater harmony between en-
ployers and employees is a re-
turn to real collective bargaining
without the interference of the
Federal Government.
IT believe that If the proper
climate is provided free from gov
Iernmental influence, if a commits
sion of impartial and outstand-
ing American citizens is selected
to help find a common ground for
agreement, that industry and labor
leaders will discover that their
problems are not insurmount-
able ..
1T is not the desire Of Congress
to enact restrictive legislation
Coercion is not the answer. The
American way is the voluntary
way. We must strive to achieve
solution of our current industrial
problems by voluntary agreement. u

These included the number of cases
decided, the number, of complaints

2,740 were representation cases.
Charges of unfair practices
were filed in 5,261 instances. OF
these, 6,146 were filed against en-
ployers and 1.097 against unions
Bargaining Elections Increase.
The board conducted 6,525 bar
gaining representation elections
among 672,667 employees. This was
an increase of IA per cent over
fiscal 1850, the previous high year
Union bargaining agents were
selected in 70 per cent of the cleo
tons. These agents were chosen
to represent $4,000 employees.
In the matter of court injunc-
lions, "a were sought in the year
for alleged illegal activities. Ten
were granted. None were denied
Five still were awaiting court &C.
