Democratic Senator'S
Delay Groups Vote
On NLRB Nominee
BY the Assoe;osed Press

democrats on the Senate
Labor Committee yesterday
forced two-day postponement
of a committee vote on President
Eisenhower's nomination of AL
bert c. Beeson to the National
Labor Relations Board.
The nomination. subject to
Senate confirmation. drew crit
ical fire from Senator'S Lehman
Democrat. of New York. Ken
nedy. Democrat, of Massa-
chusetts and Douglas, Democrat
of Illinois. All demanded more
information on Mr.. Beeson
Senator Lehman called Mr.
Beeson "a company man."
Republicans on the commit
tee expressed complete con-
f1dence in him. Senator H.
Alexander Smith, Republican, of
New Jersey. committee chair
man, said he was certain that
Mr.. Beeson would be approved
Both Senators Goldwater, Re-
publican, of Arizona. and Pur-
tell, Republican. of Connecticut,
said they we're certain he would
do an excellent job and indi-
Gated that the fact he has held
several high management jobs
should not be a bar to his con-
tlrmation.
Nominee QuizZed Closely.
The Democrats did not ques-
ton Mr.. Beeson's integrity, and
there was no indication that
they would vote against him on
the final tally. but they did
question him sharply. Senator
Kennedy said Mr.. Beeson was
the first man ever named to
the board to come direct" from
either management or labor.
In response to questions. Mr..
BeeSon said he thought the
NLRB under former President
Truman mad administered the
Taft-Hartley Act more IN favor
of labor than management.
Very frankly" he said. II
think it has been stretched to
meet some peoples ideas" and
that the attempt was to con-
tinue the bias Of the Wagner
Act. which the Taft-Hartley law
sought to balance"
Would Give Majority.
Mr.. Beeson's appointment to
the NLRB would give the Eisen-
hover administration clear ma
jority on the five-man board.
Referring to this, Senator Ken
nedy said Mr.. Beeson might
change the whole attitude of
the board"
The board. lacking one men,
Der for several months. has been
stymied in several important
cases by tie votes between the
present four members. This
stalemate has also extended to
possible revisions Of a whole Sc
ries Of board interpretations and
administrative rulings.
Senators Kennedy and Lehman
asked the committee to put of
action until tomorrow so that
they could investigate more fully

Most Of VeIde Group
Say Disputes Won't
Stall Search for Reds

Most members Of the House
Un-American Activities Commit
tee agreed today that q recent
squabble won't interfere with
their job Of searching for sub
versives and Communists.
Chairman Xelde said In an In
terview the star els now operat-
ing smoothly and will continue
to do So"
The committee. he said, will
soon resume hearings in quest Of
Reds despite rufiled feelings over
his firing of a veteran inveSti-
gator. Louis j. Russell.
A committee member said one
reason why Mr.. Russell was fired
was that he borrowed $500 from
Actor Edward G. Robinson after
the actor had appeared as a Co
operative witness before the
committee.
Nothing Shady" Actor Says.
In New York yesterday. Mr..
Robinson confirmed there had
been such a transaction, said
there was nothing shady about
it." and that it occurred in 1853,
about a year after his last APP
pearance before the committee.
He said he was willing to give
the details, but wanted to wait
for word from Mr.. Velde.
Mr.. Velde said he was trying
to arrange a conference with
Mr.. Robinson.
On future Investigations, Mr..
Velde said Representative Kear-
ney. Republican. of New York
will head a three-man subcom-
mittee which will move into New
York State for new look at any
Communist activity. Mr.. Kear-
ney will be aided by Representa-
tives Scherer. Republican, of
Ohio and Walter, Democrat, of
Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Velde also said Repre-
sentative Clardy. Republican, of
Michigan is preparing to direct
another subcommittee investiga-
ton in Michigan.
Seek Firing List.
Mr.. Velde also disclosed that
the committee has asked the
Civil Service Commission to pro-
vide it with the names of Federal
employees who have been fired in
the past year on charges of sub
versive activities.
The chairman was Joined by
Representatives Moulder, Demo-
crat, of Missouri; Doyle, Demo-
crat. of California, and Clardy
in expressing belief that the
path is cleared for the COM
mittee to renew its Nation wide
hunt for Communist activity.
However, Mr.. Walter and Mr..
Kearney said they believe some
housekeeping" has to be done
within the committee staff.
And Mr. Scherer was on record
that he. too, favors an about
investigation of the committee
staff.
MIR. Clardy told reporters Mr..
Russell gave information about
the loan from Mr.. Robinson to
the committee in a closed door
meeting and that this was a fac
tor in Mr.. Velde's decision to
dismiss him.
MIR. Russell told The Star he
borrowed the money from Mr..
Robinson to pay medical bills
after trying unsuccessfully to
get q bank loan. He said he had
not repaid Mr.. Robinson yet,

Seaway Bill Passes
Senate, but Faces
Struggle in House

st. Lawrence Seaway legisla-
ton. rebuffed in Congress for 20
years, has finally passed the
Senate but today faced trouble
in the House and a cool recep-
ton in Canada.
The bill permitted the United
States to join with Canada In
building a 27-foot deep st. Law
renee River channel linking the
Great Lakes to the Atlantic
Ocean won Senate approval last
night on a bipartisan vote of 81
to SO. It had been defeated
there in 1884, 1914, 1913 and
1852.
Although strongly supported
by President Eisenhower and the
Joint Chiefs Of Staff, the meas
ure must meet an even more
severe test in the House. A re-
cent informal count of House
Public Works Committee mem
bers indicated a majority oppo-
sing it. It also might encounter
some opposition in the Rules
Committee.
Canadian Officials Silent.
In Canada there was no i'm
mediate official comment on the
Senate vote. It has been evil
dent during the past year. how
ever. that many Canadian au-
thorities were not as eager as
they once were for the United
States to join in the project and
were displeased by the long de-
lay in congressional action.
Because Of that delay Canada
has been going it alone. It al
ready has spent $50 million on
locks and is prepared to put UP
$500 million for navigation facil-
tiles. The Canadian govern
ment was represented as feeling
that the United States, in spend
ing $105 million, would be get
ting too much of o bargain in
joint control of navigation and
shipping tolls.
Before passing the bill, the
Senate defeated a move BY
Senator Flanders. Republican,
OF Vermont to return it to COM
mittee for further study. It also
rejected an amendment by Sem
ator Long, Democrat, Of Louisi-
ana to have the project financed
through annual appropriations.
Two Amendment Accepted.
Two minor amendments Of
fered by Senator DirkSen,
Republican, of Illinois were
accepted. One would limit the
annual obligations of the de-
velopment corporation to 10 per
cent Of the projects $1O5 million
cost during the first year and
to 40 per cent thereafter. The
other would provide that in the
event of disagreement over tolls
imposed by the United States
alone. the matter shall be re-
viewed by the courts.
The bill was approved by votes
Of Is Republicans, IS Democrats
and / Independent. Senator
Morse Of Oregon. The oppose
ton vote included 10 Democrats
and Is Republicans.
The bill would set up a St.
Lawrence Development Corp.
with authority to issue SOS mil
lion in bonds. These would be
retired by shipping tolls over
the next SO years. United
States participation would be
limited to constructing the sea-
way in the international rapids
section Of the river. Canada
would build the other sections in
Canadian territory.

How To Muke A
Christmas Nishtshirt
BY DOROTHY ROE
Assaeialad PRass Waman,a Editor

Assoeigtod Press Womon's Editor
Sure to be near the top Of any
teen Christmas list is a nightshirt
such as Grandpa used to wear. Re-
vived by the younger set, the old
fashioned nightshirt seems to be
here to stay.
With the budget dwindling and
the Christmas ist growing, why
not take a tip from local sewing
center experts and make several
niehtshEts for gifts? Ecouoruical
and easy to make, they'll be the
hit Of the season for the younger
set.
Firemen red cotton flannel is
The fabric to choose to go with the
festive season. There's a standard
pattern for a mOdernized nightshirt
with nOtched elbows-length sleeves,
little mandarin collar, breast pock-
ct and side slits at the hemline.
White pearl buttons complete the
picture The pattern also includes
directions for short and long
sleeved pajamas.
Inc Dutt0nhOles will be no chore
at all with the buttonhOle attach
ment on your sewing machine. And
if you have one Of the new auto
matte swing-needle type machines,
you can even let it sew on the but
tons as we'll as make the button
holes.
To top Oft your slumber shirt,
make a decorative peaked hat of
the same fabric. Cut two triangular
pieces of material, stitch together,
insert elastic band to fit your head
size, and use a tinkling Christmas
bell for a tassel.
You can make the nightshirts in
a variety of COlOrs and fabrics, such
as peppermint-stick striped fan
mel or Tartan plaid. Appliqued ini-
tlals or a school emblem on the
pocket win persOnalize the gift.
