Getting Less and Less

By jones Y. Newton

Chairman Paul M. Herzog of

do away with Communist

Speaking for the five-member
board which administers Taft

IF there be a few subversives
in the teaching stats of this
Nation, there are proper agen-
cies that can deal with that
fact" Bishop Oman declared.
Sees Serious Threat.
Calling the American school
system today the "chief bulwark
of democracy" he declared those
lie who say that "in every little
red schoolhouse there is little
red teacher"
He called on church and State
to face "a serious threat to our
American educational system"
Bishop Oman specifically at

The bishop said he personally
had been reported as having
written an article on Stain
which had been written by some
one else.
He said he wrote the commit

then chairman, Representative

assuring him "the error was not

Calls It Less Effective.

"1U11COOs
Calls It Less Effective.
The law requires union officers
to swear they are not Commu-
nists before their union can gain
recognition to do business be-
fore the NLRB.
Mr.. Herzog said that while the
affidavit requirement was useful
in the early years of the six-year-
old Taft-Hartley Act, it had be-
come less and less effective. He
said that now "those at whom
it was aimed (the Communist of
f1cers of some unions) have de-
vised newer techniqueS to cir
Cumvent it."
Under the present system, a
Communist union officer can
make his union eligible for the
benefits of a Federal law by sim
ply resigning his party member
ship and then signing a state
ment that he is not a Commu-
mist. In this way, he escapes
perjury charges. even though he
may rejoin the Communist Party
at a later date.
300 Sent for Scrutiny.
Mr.. Herzog said his board had
sent more than 300 dubious
affidavits" to the Justice Depart
ment "for investigation and pos
sible prosecution" for perjury.
But the department has been
able to do little about the situa-
ton.
Mr.. Herzog also asked Congress
to amend Taft-Hartley so the
NLRB could cede jurisdiction
over local labor controversies to
State labor boards. AS the law
is now written. he said, I'VE can
not cede any cases to State tri-
bunals. unless they are enforcing
statutes substantially identical
with the Federal law"
Mr.. Herzog said his board de-
sired less power, not more. The
NLRB, he added, has enough to
do without dissipating its ener-
gies upon largely local labor
disputes where the impact on
interstate commerce is small.
Smith Suggests Changes.
Chairman Smith of the Senate
Labor Committee, which will
hold hearings on Taft-HartIey
amendments next month, has
mentioned two possible changes
in the oath provision:
/. Requiring affidavits from
employers as well as union
officials.
2. Scrapping the provision
altogether in favor of the crea-
ton of some sort of agency
which would determine whether
a union was Communist-dom-
mated.
Mr.. Herzog said he was Offer
ing only technical suggestions"
for improving the controversial
law. Board members are not
"the advocates or the defenders
or architects of any particular
policy" he said.

By George Kennedy

It was Thomas Jefferson who
gave America the Federal period
of architecture which prevailed
in the building Of Washington,
the Federal City.
That was the conclusion Of a
paper read to the Columbia His
torical Society last night by Mil
ton L. Grigg, an architect who
has spent Is years studying the
influence of Jefferson on Ameri-
can architecture.
Mr.. Grigg, who was on the
architectural staff of the Will

the society in st. Johns Church,
Lafayette Square.
Sent Washington Notes.
Jefferson was Secretary Of
State and had just returned
from Paris when the Federal
City was being planned. He kept
sending President Washington
notes, One of them read:
I'm Paris it is forbidden to
build a house beyond a given
height; and it is admitted to be
a good restriction. It keeps down
the price of ground, keeps the
houses low and convenient. and
the streets light and airy. Fires
are much more manageable when
houses are low"
Jefferson'S suggested restric-
tions on the height Of houses
were rather severe. He wanted
no houses above 35 feet on the
streets, and all houses exactly
that height on the avenues.
He had brought back with him
plates of the street arrangements
of many European cities: Frank
fort, Amsterdam, Strasbourg,
Paris and, most noteworthy, that
Of Karlsruhe.
The street plan Of Washington
derives from karlsruhe. not
Paris, in the opinion Of those
who have looked into the matter.
karlsruhe, 33 miles southwest
Of Heidelberg, was a new city.
It was built in the mid-18th
century after Karl Wilhelm. a
margrave of Baden. had built a
hunting lodge there in IT'S. The
streets were laid out in a radial
pattern.
Jefferson was for the gridiron
plan, like Philadelphia. It was
Maj. L'Enfant who showed him
that the gridiron plan and the
radial plan should be combined.
Jefferson was for the wide
streets and L'Enfant gratified
him in that.
Questions and Answers.
The Washington papers in the
Library of Congress include a
series of questions in WASH
ington's handwriting with an

American religious leaders are

with the problem Of obscene

sued a call for an aroused pub

Sodality of Our Lady, a student
organization at the University
of Santa Clara, has embarked on
a program to rid neighboring
San Jose of $50 specified types

The Sodality already has been
successful in stripping such
literature from off-campus news
stands and bookstores in Santa

Rabbi Abraham l. Rosenberg,
spiritual leader of the congrega-

synagogue, architecture, outfit
tingS, ceremonial objects an d
services. The rabbi pointed out the
similarity between the functional

many questions asked, the rabbi

Out of respect for the home and
family duties of the Jewish
housewife, she was not burdened
with the obligation of attending
services thrice daily. This obliga-
ton being absent, removes, at the
same time, her eligibility to ac-
lively participate. However, she
is urged to attend services and
her active participation is obliga-
tory in the participation of such
historic events.
Because of the capacity crowd,
the guests were divided into two
groups. While one half listened to
Rabbi Rosenberg, the other group
