Labor Reform Clause
Affects Federal Unions

Labor reform legislation
would apply to Government en-
ploye unions under an amend
ment adopted yesterday by the
Senate Labor Committee.
The committee continues
marking UP a bill in closed
meetings today. Senator Ken
nedy, Democrat of Massachu-
sets, has given up hope of
completing drafting work this
week. and now is doubtful about
sending the bill to the Senate
floor for action before the
Easter recess.
His bill originally exempted
Federal. State and local gov
eminent unions. But yester-
days amendment brings such
unions under the bills require
ments for financial reports,
election Of officers by secret
ballot, regulation OF trustee
ships and similar provisions.
Governments Exempt
The amendment exempts
governments as employers from
regulations and penalties APP
plicable to other employers.
The amendment could con-
ceivably have some effect on
the controversy over insurgent
"breakaway" locals in the Ma
tional Federation of Post Office
Clerks.
Also adopted yesterday was
an amendment to require en-
ployers to report all spending
to influence employees in the
exercise of their bargaining
rights-if the employer does
not publicly acknowledge that

Burger Heads
Planning for
Judicial Talks

The appointment Of an Ar

1859 District of Columbia Judi
cial Conference was announced
here today.
Chief Judge E. Barrett Pretty
man of the United States Court
OF Appeals has named Appellate
Judge Warren E. Burger as
chairman Of the committee,
which will oversee the operation
of the meeting Of Washington
Judges and attorneys TO discuss
improvement OF justice in the
Federal courts here.
Members of the committee
are Appellate Judge Charles

Garraghy. and Attorneys James
j. Bierbower, Joseph D. Bulman,
A. Murray Preston and Howard
c. Westwood.
Annual Farley
The conference, scheduled
for May q and % at the May
flower Hotel. is required as one
of the conferences held an
nually by the II Federal
judicial circuits.
Judge Prettyman said he has
urged that the committee plan
a conference along the lines of
the one held last year, which
dealt with controversial SUBJ
iects affecting the administra-
ton Of justice here.
He added that there are
many unresolved problems
which can be solved by the
joint efforts of members of the
bar and the judges with open
discussion and free exchange
of ideas"
1873 Accomplishments
Last year the conference
dealt with such subjects as the
Supreme Courts 1857 Mallory
decision, in which the high
court held that confessions re-
sulting from an unnecessary
delay between a criminal SuS-
poets arrest and arraignment
cannot be used as evidence in
his trial.
In delayed session of the
conference held late last year
the judges and lawyers APP
proved a committee report
calling for new system If
providing free legal aid for IL
digent defendants. AnC. .ler
committee was created to study
problems in Juvenile Court.
Resolutions of the 1858 con-
ference also urged more ade-
quate training for police in re-
lation to defendants rights,
An indirect result OF these reso-
buttons has been a series of lee
lures presented to police by the
United States Attorneys Office
here. plus other newly insti-
tuted training activities for
them.
