NEW YORK, Mar. 9.-Organ-
lied chambermaids and lawyers
are up in arms about what they
regard as slurs on their occu-
pations in two broadway plays.
according to the New York
Times.
5 The chambermaids seemed
about to win their point,
The lawyers were losing theirs,
The American Bar Association
protested certain lines dispar-
aging lawyers" in Arthur Miller's
play about the Salem witchcraft
trials of 1892, The Crucible"
About 1000 unionized maids
protested the character of a Stat
ternly maid in Vina Delmar's
play, id-Summer," and put a
picket line at the theater where
it is playing.
Through Local 6 of the AFL
Union, the maids asked that the
theater carry a program note
saying the character in the play
bore no resemblance to the
unionized maids who make beds
and clean up in New York S
hotels.
Paul Crabtree, one of the
plays co-producers was reached
by the New York Times in Palm
Beach. Fla, where he directs
the Palm Beach Playhouse. He
said he expected to authorize
the program note.
The union promised to call
off its pickets as soon as the
note is published.
The lawyers protest came in
a letter from Thomas L. Sidlo.

Elliott Rooseye|t's
Cuban Deals Blow Uu

MIAMI, Fla. Mar. 9 (CDN -
All those big Cuban deals Elliott
Roosevelt had cooking a few
short months ago have blown
sky high.
There aren't going to be any
drive-in theaters, super markets
in the American style or pack
aging of drugs and chemicals
at least temporarily.
The ventures of the son of the
late President have exploded
through heat generated by
strong Cuban labor opposition
fear Of smaller pharmaceutical
laboratories that they would be
driven to the wall by American
competition and impressions
that Mr.. Roosevelt was much toe
close to strongman Fulgencio
Batista.
Althoroty for all of that is
Thomas F. Donofrio, young
Toledo industrialist who has
been associated with Mr.. Roose-
welt in some Of the Inflated
Cuban ventures.
Mr.. Donofrio has just returned
from Havana, where he finished
closing the Office of the two
companies Mr.. Roosevelt headed
as president. They are Donofrio-
Roosevelt Industries of Cuba
and McKay-Davis of Cuba.
L At Los Angeles, according to
the Associated. Press, Mr.. Roose-
welt confirmed that the Cuban
enterprise had been abandoned.

Man Who Served 19Y Years
Ruled Not GuiItyin Killings

DAWSON SPRINGS, KY, Mar.
Fifty-seven-year-old Leonard
Hawkins said today he had been
notified he is now considered
not guilty of the crime for which
he served 10 years in a Mime
sofa prison.
Mr.. Hawkins, who lives here
now, said the Minnesota Pardons
Board had written him that he
had been cleared of guilt in a
1882 Minneapolis bank robbery
in which two policemen were
killed. He was paroled in 1851.
Untiring efforts of Hawkins
sister, Della Lowrey, led to his
parole. She spent all her earn
ings trying to prove him inno-
cent. The Minnesota Pardons
Board heard his case II times
before witnesses were found who
established an alibi for him.

High Court UphoIds
Bogus Typesetting
Pay for Printers

The Supreme Court ruled, 6
to 3, today that The AFL Inter-
national Typographical Union
does not violate the Taft Hartley
Act by demanding that news
paper printers be paid for set
ting bogus" type.
The court thus rejected an
appeal by the American News
paper Publishers Association
which contended that the bogus
type practice was a form of
featherbedding banned by the
law
The term bogus" type is ap-
piled to type which is set up by
printers but not used or intended
to be used. The practice usually
involves advertising material
sent to a publisher in the form
of matrix. Although the mat
rix is used in the publication, the
advertisement is also set by
printers, who are paid for the
work even though the type is
destroyed without being used.
Musicians Also Upheld.
In a somewhat similar case
involving the featherbedding
/ provisions of the Taft-Hartley
Act, the Supreme Court also
split. 6-to-3. The majority held
that the AFL Musicians union
did not violate the Taft-Hartley
Act when it insisted that the
management of a theater en-
ploy a local orchestra to play
part-time but at full pay when a
name-band is performing on a
stage.
Justice Burton wrote the
majority opinion in both cases.
Chief Justice Vinson and JUS
tees Douglas and Clark dis
sented in the printers case. Dis
senters in the musicians case
were Justices Clark, Vinson and
Jackson.
Justice Burton stated that
payment for setting bogus"
type, agreed to by the publisher,
was recognized as being legal
before enactment of the Taft
Hartley law.
Issue Is One of Interpretation.
He said the issue now was
simply one of statutory inter-
probation, specifically whether
Congress had made the setting
of bogus" type an unfair labor
practice. The court majority de-
cided that Congress had not
done so.
However desirable the elimi-
nation of all industrial feather
bedding practices may have APP
peared to Congress-" Justice
Burton wrote, the legislative
history. of the Taft-Hartley Act
demonstrates that when the leg
islation was put in final form,
Congress decided to limit the
practice but little by law.
"The act now limits its con-
demnation to instances where a
labor organization or its agents
exact payment from an employ
er in return for services not per-
formed or not to be performed.
Thus where work is done by an
employee, with the employers
consent, a labor tons
demand that the employee be
compensated for time in doing
the disputed work does not be-
come an unfair labor practice.
The transaction simply does not
fall within the kind of feather
bedding defined in the statute. -

Government - every one Won
dered what was coming next.
! However, administration Off
Gals stress that they are only in
/ terested in those jobs of policy
making or administrative nature
or those that are strictly political
in nature. They say definitely
that the jobs of the rank-and-
file employees covered by civil
service are safe.
In this connection, they point
to the passage in the White
Houses announcement last week
concerning the top job changes,
which declared: During the
campaign, the President assured
the people that he would do
everything possible to strengthen
the civil service system. That is
and will continue to be the policy
of this administration"
The question among Federal
employees is: will the admin
istration delve below the top
level jobs and seek other jobs
covered by civil service?"
Administration officials say
this won't be the case. They say
that while it's true that Gen.
Eisenhower has ordered depart
ment and agency heads to
examine civil service jobs to see
if some of these positions should
not be placed in the Schedule
"A" excepted category, that only
a handful of jobs of this sort
might be disturbed.
Arthur S. Flemming, who
probably is the Presidents
closest advisor on personnel
matters, said in a speech last
Friday that during the past 20
years some jobs that should have
been excepted had been placed
under civil service. However,
Mr., Flemming said the number
was numerically small.
Also, Mr.. Flemming said Gov
eminent indefinite employees who
had not passed Civil Service
exams. should not have all the
Civil Service job protection rights
that career workers have. Mr..
Flemming referred particularly
to the Veterans Preference Act
job protection privileges accorded
these indefinite employees.

PREDICTION-Mr. Flemming
told the annual meeting of the
American Society for Public
Administration Gen. Eisenhower
would prove to be a stronger
champion of a strong civil service
merit system than any other
President in the history of the
United States"
He expressed the view that the
placing under civil service of
those jobs that should actually
be exempted, was a blow to a
strong merit system. It hurts
the vast majority Of employees
who are entitled to civil service
protection in their jobs by max
ing the entire system suspect,
he said.
*%*
RESERVE STATUS-Regard-
ing those indefinite employees
who have passed civil service
exams in order to get their jobs,
Mr. Flemming said they should
be given some sort of protective
status. He said he did not know
when this would happen, but in
Dictated it probably would be
some time yet.
AS Acting Defense Mobilizer

considerable weight with the ad-
miniStration on personnel mat
tiers. That's why his views are so
interesting to Federal employees.
