Alabama Union Shops
Voided Under New Law
By the Associoted Press

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Aug. %.
- Gov. Gordon Persons today
signed the bitterly disputed bill
outlawing the union shop and
similar labor management agree
ments in Alabama.
In a message to the House of
Representatives, where the meas
ure originated, Gov. Persons said
he approved the bill because I
believe in free labor and free en-
terprise."
The bill makes it unlawful to
require an employe to join a la
Dor organization in order to hold
his job. 1t also prohibits the
mandatory checkoff of union
dues.
Thus it would outlaw the union
shop, maintenance of member
ship, or any similar contract pro-
visions which require union men,
bership as a condition of employ
ment.

Hoover Defends FBI
Civil Rights Probes
BY the Associated Ps As


LOS ANGELES, Aug. 28.-Any
Investigations the FBI makes in
the field of civil rights are per-
formed as duties prescribed by
the Department of Justice, says
Director j. Edgar Hoover.
His remarks were released by
the FBI here in reply to
criticism from. the governors
of Pennsylvania. Virginia and
Texas, all of whom protested re-
Gently that such Investigations
were an invasion of States
rights.
Mr.. Hoover declared:
THE Investigations by the
FBI in the field of civil rights
have been made pursuant to an
Act of Congress.
1T makes little difference
whether the Act of Congress was
passed in 1866 or 1858, so long
as it is the law of the land. The
Attorney General has not only
the right but the duty of es-
tablishing as a matter of policy
that the FBI should investigate
the alleged violation of such
acts. :"
Mr.. Hoover added that, in the
cases of which the governors
complained. the FBI merely was
doing its duty on instructions
from the Department of Justice.
Such Investigations, he added,
will continue whenever ordered.

Eben I. Takamine;
Father Gave u. ).
Famed Cherry Trees
BY the Associated Press

RIDGEWOOD, N. j., Aug. %.
-Eben T. Takamine, whose
father was the japanese Scien-
tist and statesman who gave
Washington its first Japanese
cherry trees, died today. He
was So.
Mr.. Takamine'S father, the
late DR.. Jokichi Takamine, was
one of the discoverers of adren-
alin.
Mr.. Takamine died after a
brief illness at Passaic General
Hospital. He was president of
the Takamine Laboratories,
Clifton, founded by his father.
The firm produces pharmaceu-
ticals.
Naturalized in March.
Born in Japan, Mr.. Takamine
became an American citizen on
March 90 this year, the first
japanese to be naturalized in
Bergen County under the terms
of the McCarran Act.
His wife was naturalized last
week.
Mr.. Takamine's father came
to this country in the 1880s as
imperial Japanese commissioner
to the New Orleans Cotton Gen.
tennial. He married an Ameri-
can girl there, and went back to
Japan with her.
They returned to this country
in 1890. bringing with them l.
year-old Eben.
Brought Cherry Trees.
During the administration of
President William Howard Taft
the Japanese government sent a
number of Towering cherry trees
here as a gift. They were re-
jected as diseased.
Mr.. Takamjne's father, on his
own, brought another shipment
to the United States and isolated
them in private greenhouses
until they were approved. These
are the cherry trees which each
spring lure thousands of tourists
to the Mall in Washington to
view the blossoms.
DR.. Takamine died in 1922.
Eben Takamine, graduate of
Yale University, is survived by
his widow, the former Katherine
Mcmahon of Liverpool, England
They were married in Baltimore
october 2, 1943.
Funeral services will be held
here Monday.
