NLRB Seeks
Case Load Cut

The National Labor Relations
Board yesterday received pro-
posals for major changes de-
signed to ease the boards huge
case load.
The main proposal submitted
by board member Joseph Al
ton Jenkins would allow the
NLRB to reject and limit ap-
pealS from decisions by trial
examiners in unfair labor cases.
Mr.. Jenkins, who heads a
rules-revision committee estab-
liShed last January, suggested
that the board hear appeals
only when the case would deter
mine national policy; when
there Is uncertainty or conflict
IN precedents: when the trial
examiners findings are clearly
erroneous, and when the board
gives special permission for
good cause.
The proposal would in a
sense parallel the Supreme
Courts system of refusing to
hear appeals unless questions
with broad implications are
presented.
Similar proposals in the past
Tor limiting the boards case
load have gotten nowhere, be-
cause it was assumed that new
legislation would be required.
But Mr.. Jenkins argued a novel
theory in asserting that the
board could make the rule
changes on its own authority.
He said decisions by trial
examiners should be considered
initial decisions" within the
meaning of the law governing
administrative procedures. If
the trial examiners make in
1tlal decisions, the board can
let the decisions stand by re-
fusing to hear appeals.
Under current practice, the
board considers trial exam
iners' decisions only interim
reports and recommended or
ders." Only rulings by the
board itself are considered in
itlal decisions"
Even if the Jenkins proposal
Is adopted, parties to a case
could appeal to the courts, as
they do now.

KYC Day at CHS Oct. Fl

On October 81, Community
High School will stage it's ninth
annual "Know Your Community
Day" tours for small groups of
the 173 faculty members.
The idea of KYC Day has
been, in the nine years of its
presentation, TO acquaint faculty
members of the Di S trict 218
school with the advantages of
living and working in this area.
By touring the II businesses
and industries offering their CO.
operation this year, the teachers
can learn more about the many
different kinds of work avail
able for their students upon
graduation and in this way can
counsel their students on job
opportunities in the district. The
school authorities also feel that
1t Is good Tor the personnel OF
all businesses and industries to
know the teachers and likewise
good for the teachers to know
them.
This year three of the organ
izations to be toured by facult-
members are joining the tours
for the first time. These include
the Army Nike site in Orland
Park. the Federal Sign and Sig
nal Corporation on S. Western,
and the three joint finance com
panies which have offices If

be toured on October 81, have

include the Blue Island City

Star star Writer

Sometime this year a round
bellied, claw-footed, propeller
cared sea serpent will invade
the murky waters of Puget
Sound.
Needless to say, the vaunted
Washington State salmon may
never recover from the sight Of
this monster swimming along
the ocean floor, its headlights
casting an eerie glow before it.
But whatever it's effect on
the fish, this strange device,
called Solaris, Silver Spring
(Md.) born and bred, will be
performing an important and
dollar-saving function for the
Navy.
Guided by cable from ship
board, the machine will be used
to sight and retrieve errant
objects-Some worth thousands
of dollars-with its television
eye and vise-like claw.

Vitro laboratories accom-
plishmentS are impressive.
Since its establishment in 1948,
the division has undertaken
more than $50 national defense
programs valued at $50 million.
Ninety-two were performed for
the armed forces and particu-
larly for the Bureau of Naval
Weapons and Bureau of Ships.
More than half of Vitro's
work was undertaken in the
fields Of missile research and
missile systems engineering.
The firm has worked on such
projects as the Navy's Terrier,
Talos and Tartar guided mis-
siles and Polaris fleet ballistic
missile and the Army's Hawk.
SIS Million Volume
The division is currently
helping to develop missile
system engineering on the
Navy's 45-Ship guided missile
feet and nuclear-powered SUBJ
marines.
Gross annual volume for the
division in 1859 was $7.6 million
with a backlog of more than
$11 million. Sales in 1860 are
expected to exceed $12 million,
marking IL straight years in
which the laboratory has
operated with a profit.

Eastern Shore
Canal Proposal

ANNAPOLIS, (AP). Gov.
Tawes has Endorsed a proposal
for a waterway across Mary

An aide Of the governor said
Gov. TaweS has promised to
give full support to a survey
for a six-mile canal from Snow
Hill to Chinoteague Bay, and
will ask the General Assembly
for construction money If the
project proves feasible.
Lloyd L. Simpkins, the gov
ernor's executive assistant, said
yesterday the State also has
been assured that the United
States Army Corps of Engi-
neers will make the engineering
survey.
The canal. connecting with
the Pocomoke River, would
provide a shortcut for smaller
vessels heading for Chinco-
league from the Baltimore and
Washington areas. The last
survey was made in the early
1930s.
