Subpoena for Data
OF Union Upheld in
Abram FIaxer Trial

Federal Judge Burnita S,
Matthews today said 1T is a
matter Of common knowledge"
that Communists use positions
of power in labor unions to fur
ther the aims of the party.
The judge made her obServa-
ton in upholding the pertinency
OF a subpoena which directed
production of a list of members
OF the United Public Workers of
America before members of a
Senate Internal Security sub
committee.
Abram Flaxer, president of
UPWA. is on trial before Judge
Matthews and a jury in the
U. S. District Court for the Dis
trict Of Columbia, charged with
contempt of Congress in failing
to produce the records.
Defense Attorney Vito Mar
cantonio contended that a SUBJ
committee member had agreed
that the rank and file of the
union members were not Com
munistS. The attorney argueS
that If this is so, revelation of
their names and addresses would
not be pertinent to an inquiry
into Communist inf1ltration such
as was being conducted by the
subcommittee.
But Judge Matthews, in brush
ing aside his argument, declared: {:
1T is matter of common
knowledge that Communists do
utilize positions of power in la
Dor organizations to create chaos
and promote strikes for purposes
not necessarily those of union
interests, but rather to promote
the objects of the Communist
Party" She then ruled that the
information sought in the sub
poena was pertinent to the SUBJ
ject under inquiry.

Sc Fathers Seized
For Failing 10 Support
Children; "A Jailed

Sixty-eight District fathers
were hauled into Juvenile Court
yesterday on charges of failing to
support their children. The drive
was an effort to break up a log
jam of unserved warrants.
About 80 United States mar
shalS-practically the entire 10
cal fOrce-canvassed the city
oevr the week end in the Dis
trict's largest roundup of fathers.
Judge Edith H. Cockrill, who
spent six-and-a-half hours yes
terday hearing the cases, sent "a
Of the men to the District jail
and released the rest after they
made support payments.
Most of the cases were old,
dating back to a year-and-a-
half ago, it was explained.
Nearly all the marshalS work
during the day Mondays through
Fridays and hitherto had been
unable to serve the warrants be-
cause the fathers generally work
then.
Judge Cockrill and United
States Marshal w. Bruce Mat
theWs finally decided on the
roundup.
A number of the fathers picked
up were wanted on more than
one charge. According to Judge
Cockrill, yesterday marked the
greatest number of bench war;
rant cases for one day since she
has been on the Juvenile Court
bench.

u. 5. Is Denied Right
To Sue Reporter for
Misrepresentation

Federal Judge Charles F. Nc
Laughlin today refused the Gov
ernment permission to prosecute
Ray Brennan, Chicago Sun
Times reporter. for falsely repre-
senting himself as a Capitol Hill
Office manager.
Prosecutor Fred Smithson had
sought reactivation of an indict-
ment against the neWSpapermar
which had been ordered dis
missed by. Judge Mclaughlin on
January %. At that time, the
charge was dropped because the
Government felt it did not have
a case.
Misunderstood Data.
However. last week Mr.. Smith
son asked for a reopening of the
Brennan case, STANG that he hao
misunderstood the facts sur
rounding testimony Mr.. Brennan
gave to Investigators of the Ke-
'fauver Crime Committee.
Mr.. Smitnson declared he al
first thought Mr.. Brennan ad-
mitted his action in sworn testi-
mony before members of the
committee. Actually, he had
given an oral statement to sew
eral Kefauver investigators.
The prosecutor argued that
had Mr.. Brennan made his ad-
missions to the committee, the
Government would be powerless
to act under the immunity stat
utes. However, since he had
talked to the investigators alone
he felt the Government could
proceed with prosecution.
Rules Statements Privileged.
Judge Mclaughlin in the
United States District Court for
the District of Columbia turned
down Mr.. Smithson. He said Mr.
Brennan'S statements to the in
vestigators were privileged.
The judge pointed out the Ke-
fauver investigators constituted
an arm of the Crime Committee
and acted in behalf of it. ITO
rule otherwise would subvert the
useful purpose of the immunity
statute" Judge Mclaughlin con-
cluded.
Mr.. Brennan represented him
self as a Kefauver Committee
Office manager on November /,
1850, to obtain a transcript from
the Anderson Reporting Co. of an
executive hearing touching on
Chicago crime.

Stee|workers' Chief
Promises His Union
Will Not Bolt Clio
BY the Assoeioted Press

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Mar.
24.-President David j. McDon-
aid of the United Steelworkers
today denied vigorously pub
liShed reports that he might lead
his million-member union in a
bolt of the CIO.
Mr.. Mcdonald made his pledge
from the convention platform of
the United Auto Workers which,
with 1,350,000 members. is the
only union in the CIO bigger
than the SteelWorkerS.
"The United Steelworkers will
not destroy the CO." Mr.. Nc
Donald told the 5000 UAW dele
gates. 1T will be our flrmest en-
deavor to make it bigger, better
and stronger"
The SteelWorkerS' president also
promised to work side by side
with Walter P. Reuther, presi-
dent of both the CIO and the
auto workers union, in an eff
fort to win a guaranteed annual
wage. That is the JAWS top
goal for it's next major negotia-
tions in 1855.
Will Fight Communism.
Mr.. Mcdonald said his union
would join with the auto workers
in their continuing fight to
"thwart and smite the Commu-
nists wherever we meet them" "
by standing side by side with
the United Auto Workers we'll
do many things" Mcdonald de-
clared.
In another harmony move to-
day Mr.. Reuther confirmed re-
ports that John v. Rife, former
steelworkers' official and direc-
tor of the CIO Southern organ
izing drive, has been picked to
become the CLOS new executive
vice president.
Mr.. Rife will succeed the late
Allan S. Haywood, whom Mr..
Mcdonald supported for CIO
president against Mr.. Reuther at
the C1O convention here in De-
cember after death of Philip
Murray.
Adopt Curbs on Undesirables.
Mr.. Reuther's strength in his
own union was demonstrated
late yesterday by the ease with
which changes in the JAWS
constitution went through the
convention.
The amendments, firmly
backed by Mr.. Reuther, were
designed to make it easier for
the international union to keep
Communists. racketeers and
others it deems undesirable from
holding even local union Office.
Mr.. Reuther claimed a 1O-to-1
victory on the issue, believed to
be one of the most controversial
to come before the week-long
convention.
He said the amendments were
aimed at: l, Communists, Nazis,
FaSciStS and those subservient
to their doctrines; 2, racketeers
and gangsters; 3. officers accused
OF mishandling union funds.

L. Merl Young Loses
In Attack on VALIDITY
Of Perjury Charges

E. Merl Young today lost a
legal attack on the validity of
perjury charges on which he has
been indicted.
Judge Matthew F. Mcclure
ruled in the U. S. Court for the
District of Columbia that all
four counts in the indictment
were based on questions peril
nent to a Senate investigation
of the Reconstruction Finance
Corp. and a subsequent grand
jury probe.
Mr.. Young stands accused of
lying to the Senate Banking
subcommittee in 1851 and per-
juring himself again when the
grand jury looked into his op-
erationS while he was an ex-
aminer at the RFC and later
when he was executive of a pri-
vate company.
The 38 year = old defendant
earned $25 week as a Govern
ment messenger in 1910 and
received $500 a year as RFC
examiner 10 years later. He
left the RFC for an $4,000 job
with one heavy borrower from
the agency and another big
salary from a second.
The jury hearing his case was
excluded from the courtroom this
morning while counsel argued
the validity Of the perjury in
dictment. but Judge McGuire's
ruling for the Government
cleared the way for the panel to
return for further testimony in
the afternoon.
