Remains in Coma

LOS ANGELES, Aug. rs (AP)
Donald NJ. Nelson, 70. chair
man of the War Production

manned unconscious today from

Organized labor objects that
concurrent Federal and State
jurisdiction would destroy uni
formity Of justice. Unions fear
anti-labor laws in some States.
The Senate bill would let
State agencies-but not courts
handle cases rejected by the
NLRB. but only If they applied
Federal law. Critics maintain
this approach would not close
the jurisdictional gap. They
contend State laws should gov
ern essentially local cases.
Also unresolved was a con-
flict over provisions to let con-
struction unions sign contracts
with builders to represent en-
ployes before they are hired,
Most construction projects last
only a few weeks or months,
ending before the union can
secure representation rights
through normal election pro-
cedures.
Both the Senate and House
bills would permit prehire con-
tracts, but the House bill
would establish stricter stand
ards than the Senate measure.

Senate-House conferees TO-
cused their full attention on
secondary boycotts and organ
national picketing today after
clearing several lower hurdles
in the path of labor reform
legislation.
Racing to beat an early dead
line, they were hopeful but
not really optimistic about pros
poets for avoiding a stalemate
on the few remaining conflicts
between the Senate and House
cleanup bills.
At yesterdays bargaining ses-
sion, the conferees swept away
the debris of subsidiary issues
by reaching agreement in sew.
eral areas.
Senator Kennedy, Democrat
OF Massachusetts, who is chair
man of the conferees, said they
agreed to let strikers vote il
union representation elections
even after nonstrikers replace
them on the job. But the COM
promise limits this right tC

Faubus School
Closing Law

LITTLE ROCK. Ark. May 5
tAP).-The National Associa-
ton for the Advancement Of
colored People charged yester-
day that the Arkansas school
closing law was designed solely
70 keep a handful Of Negro
students form continuing at
Little Rock Central High
School.
The law was used by Gov.
orval E. Faubus last fan to close
four public high schools here
after court-ordered integration
Of nine Negroes was enforced
In the I957-5e term with Fed
eral troops following mob vio-
lence.
The accusation was made by
NAACP attorney Wiley A.
Branton Of Pine Bluff. Ark. at a
hearing before a three-judge
Federal court on the NAACP-
backed petition challenging the
constitutionality Of the closing
law and two related acts.
The case was taken under ad-
visement by the court headed
by Judge John B. Sanborn of
st. Paul. Mimi. a member Of the
United States Eighth Circuit
Court Of Appeals. Others on the
bench we're United States Dis
trict Judges John E. Miller Of
Fort Smith, Ark, and Axel J.
Beck of Elk Point, s. Oak.
An attorney for Gov. Faubus
and the Little Rock School
Board, Thomas Harper Of Fort
Smith, Ark. called the motives
behind the law immaterial. He
said the United States Supreme
Court itself backed up this posi-
ton by holding an Alabama
school placement law valid on
its face"
The judges gave attorneys
for Gov. Faubus and the Little
Rock School Board is days to
answer written arguments sub
mitted by Mr.. Branton and
Thurgood Marshall Of New
York. chief counsel for the
NAACP.
A week ago the Arkansas Su-
preme Court. in a 4-3 decision,
upheld the school closing law.
