CHICAGO. June rs. The
Journal Of the American Medical
Association threw an editorial
haymaker today at radio and
television programs that feature
stethoscopes, white coats and
medical claims in advertising.
+ The Journal said it has re-
ceived many complaining letters
from physicians and others who
assert this is a cheap attempt
to mislead the audiences into
believing that the claims have
been proven medically" The
Journal added:
"They also claim. and there
seems to be an increasing ac-
emulation Of evidence to sup
port this belief. that most Of the
audiences have been exposed to
so much Of this drivel that there
is not only suspicion and even
disbelief but actual resentment
when programs featuring such

Taft-HatIey Act
Anti-Union, Priest
Tells Labor ParIey

The Taft-Hartley law is cal
culated to weaken unions and
produce industrial strife. q Cath
olic priest, active in labor az
fairs, yesterday told delegates to
the first Maryland-District OF
Columbia labor conference.
The Rev. L6yola oLeary.
chairman of the Industrial Rela-
tions Committee Of the Catholic
Committee of the South. made
the assertion during a day-long
conference, attended by nearly
200 labor representatives at the
University Of Maryland.
"The first responsibility of the
community is to create an at
mosphere where the workers will
be free to organize into natural
associations" Father OLeary
said. "The Taft-IIartley law
fails miSerably in this respect.
"The Taft Hartley law is
against unions in general !.
is calculated to weaken. not
strengthen unions Is designed
to produce not cooperation, but
strife between labor and man
agemerit."
Warns Of InfiltratiOn.
Father OLeary. pastor Of a
church in Colonial Beach, Va,
warned that unions have a duty
to see that their organizations
"are clean" He said Commu-
nists long have sought to infil-
trate unions to take over the
workers "and set class against
class"
Another speaker, Joseph Kee-
nan, secretary-treasurer of the
Building and Construction Trades
Council (AFL), said there is un-
derway q carefully planned
campaign Of cutting appropria-
tions in the current administra-
Cion to destroy the effectiveness
Of national health and welfare
programs"
Mr.. keenan, told the repre-
sentatives of nearby Maryland
and Washington local unions
that organized labor must COM
bat the chipping away" of So
cial and economic gains won in
recent years.
Longer Session Suggested.
The conference was welcomed
to the university by President
Harry G. Byrd, who suggested
that the conference be enlarged
to a seminar lasting several days
each year. Later in the day the
conference chairman, Edward
H. Johns, executive secretary of
the Baltimore Federation Of La
bor, said planning Of a week
long workshop for next year is
under way.
Streetcar operators, laborers,
painters, postal clerks, carpen-
ters, truck drivers. iron workers
and teachers were among the
groups represented at the con-
ference.
Shishkin Speaks.
During the study session on the
Taft-Hartley law, Boris Shish-
kin, director of research for the
AFL, said the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers and the
United States Chamber of Com
merce went to keep the law on
the books and make its appli-
cation against labor more Sc

Early Start on Span
AT Jones Point Urged

Immediate construction of the
proposed Jones Point Bridge over
the Potomac was urged yesterday
by the Alexandria Planning Com
mission.
The commission, re-empha-
sizing its stand of last January,
said it is of "the firm opinion
that the construction of outer
bridges as opposed to central
bridges will be of greater bene-
fit to larger number of political
and geographical subdivisions.
The planners pointed out that
the Jones Point area - in the
southern section of Alexandria
is largely undeveloped and that
acquisition of rights of way
would entail less financial out
lay"
The commission also cited a
major thoroughfare plan,
adopted by the Alexandria City
Council last February, in which
a major highway is proposed to
run along the southern boun-
daries of the city, and into which
Jones Point bridge traffic pre-
sumably would flow.
Copies of the resolution were
sent the National Capital Re-
gional Planning Council, the

ment Commission, and the Alex

Immediately for $394,552 already

The school board. which sud-
denly found itself without
operating funds when the sale
of $2.8 million in school bonds
was prevented this week, has
construction bills totalling more
than 100000 for which pay
ment is due July 10.
The bond sale was blocked by
renewed litigation over the right
of three Federal employees to
serve on the school board.

Green's suit challenging the
right of the three board members
to serve was decided by the
Virginia Supreme Court on June
8 in favor of the board members
This reversed decision of the

Mr.. Green, however, has filed
a petition with the Supreme
Court to re-hear his suit. School
bond purchasers have advised
the school board they cannot
terminate the sale while litiga-
ton against the board or a part
thereof is pending.

promises for a stronger national
defense, a balanced budget and
lower taxes. He said the admin

ANNAPOLIS, July 4.-Mary-
lands "rogue and vagabond" law
was upheld yesterday by the
State Court of Appeals.
The court refuted the claim
of a 17-year-old Baltimore boy
that the law is too indefinite.
The court had advanced the
case from next falls docket in
order to size up the law.
The plea had been to scrap a
sentence of not more than two
years in the reformatory for
Raymond Martin, colored.
He had argued that there was
no justification for his arrest
behind an apparel manufactur-
ing plant last December 81. Nor,
he said, was there enough evi-
dence to bear out his conviction.
The statute at question de-
fines a rogue and vagabond as
one found with specified tools "or
otk:r implements" under cir
