NLRB to Handle
Cases Involving
Lurqer Hotels
BY the Associated Press

From now on, the National
Labor Relations Board will
handle ACKNOWLEDGEMENT cases
affecting hotels and motels
crossing as much as half a mill
lion dollars in annual business.
Still excluded from NLRB
jurisdiction will be residential
hotels-those with at least rs
per cent of their patrons main

The NLRB had resisted TAX
ing hotel cases, but bowed
yesterday to a Supreme Court
ruling that it could not waive
jurisdiction over the entire in
dustry as a class.
The hotel industry objected
to being included in NLRB
proceedings. But the Hotel &
Restaurant Workers Union APP
pealed to the Supreme Court
after the NLRB had refused to
hold a collective bargaining
election among Miami hotel
employees.

the city government if the
departments had not been
carrying out an austerity
spending program.
On the revenue side, Mr..
Herman explained that the
expected SIG million general
fund deficit is the result of
upward revisions on revenue
matched against the congress
sional reductions in spending
and in the Federal payment.
The surplus figure in the
Sens e passed measure was
about $4,000. The revision
raises this figure to more than
$1.3 million. Mr.. Herman said
part of the additional revenue
comes from increases in insur-
ance, sales and inheritance and
estate taxes. The balance is
mainly from increases in fines,
current service charges. re-
endorsements and interest in
investments.

Informants said he sought 10
impress upon the Soviet Foreign
Minister that so far as the
United States is concerned

In his opening speech 10 the

Herter said the united states

Glamour ships OF World War

The Navy contends that,

Despite this caution. Western
diplomats here are under nc
misapprehension about the
eventual Russian answer to
their carefully constructed
plan. The one part which Mr.
Gromyko is likely to discuss
seriously is the part dealing
with Berlin. And the Western
proposals to reunite the city by
free elections is expected to
draw the heaviest Russian fire

come.
Quite apart from what the
Russians may think, however
the Western delegations are
