Legislation to create a new
cabinet secretary has been ap-
proved by the Senate Govern
ment Operations Committee.
The bill requested by Presi-
dent Kennedy would establish
a Department of Urban Affairs
and Housing. Actually the ef-
feet would be to elevate the
present Housing and Home FL
nance Agency (HHFA) to cabi-
net status and give it a new
name.
If the bill Is approved by
Congress, it is generally ex-
pected that Housing Admins
traitor Robert c. Weaver will be
named to head the new de-
partment. Mr.. Weaver thus
would become the first Negro
cabinet member.
The 10th and latest new
agency to attaln~cabinet status
was the Department of Health,
Education sand Welfare. This
was created in 1853 under a
reorganization plan submitted
by former President Eisen-
hover. --..
Chief objection to the pro-
posed new Department of Ur-
ban Affairs and Housing was
that it might benefit only the
big cities. The committee re-
vised the bill sharply with a
view to emphasizing that small

Foreign Ships
Target Of New
NLRB Ru|inq
By the Associated Press

The National Labor Rela-
tions Board has broadened
jurisdiction of United States
labor laws over foreign flag
ships doing most of their busi-
ness with this country.
The issue is a key one in the
currently dormant maritime
labor dispute. It Is also i'm
portant from the standpoint Of
national policy Of letting one
time United States merchant
ships register under Caribbean
republic flags. This has the
effect of reducing United States
subsidy payments.
Previously the NLRB has
held the Federal labor laws
apply to American-owned for
eign flag ships substantially
serving the United States.
Yesterday, the NLRB, in a
2-1 decision, asserted jurisdic-
ton of the laws over a Pana-
manian cruise ship from a firm
owned practically entirely by
foreigners. The vessel is the
IS Yarmouth of the McCor-
mick Shipping Corp, operat-
ing generally out of Miami but
sometimes out of Boston and
Washington.
The majority, ordering a
Bargaining rights election
among the ships Seamen as re-
quested by the Seafarers In
ternational Union, said the
ship is IAN essentially domestic
United States enterprise"
Labor unions call such one
time United States flag vessels
''runaways" seeking to avoid
meeting American labor stand
ards. Several maritime unions
presently are under an 80-day
Taft-Hartley law injunction
from striking for recognition
rights aboard such vessels. The
Injunction expires September
20 and the unions will be free
to strike again.
In another decision, the
NLRB ruled Al that striking
employees at one place of busi-
ness can distribute don't buy"
handbills at retail stores sell
ing products purchased from
the struck employer.
The dissenter contended that
a 1859 handbill exemption
from the secondary boycott
picketing ban of the labor laws
applied only to handbilling the
distributors of products manu-
factured by a primary en-
ployer. But the majority said
there was no such distinction.

But the special committee OF
the Organization of American
States which made the recon-

is too early to lift economic

were imposed during the regime

feet. They were imposed at the
inter-American foreign minis
ter's conference at San Jose
last year after Gen. Trujillo's
regime was implicated in an
attempted assassination of Ven
ezuela's President Romulo Bet

East German Deputy Pre-

Protective
Label Rules
Announced
BY the Associated Press

The Food and Drug Admin
istration yesterday announced
regulations for consumer-pro-
tective labelling of chemical
products for home use.
The regulations become eff
fective February /, 1869, to i'm
plement the new Federal Haz-
ardous Substances Labelling
Act.
In their final form the regu-
lations dropped an earlier pro-
posal that turpentine must be
labeled with the skull and
crossbones symbol and bear the
word poison" or poisonous. I"
This brought strenuous objec-
tions from the turpentine in
dustry.
Now; the requirement for tur-
pentine and petroleum distil-
lates will be that the label
must contain the signal word
danger" as well as additional
statements harmful or fatal if
swallowed" Kerosene and re-
lated petroleum diStillates must
contain the added warning:
do not induce vomiting"
Carbon tetrachloride and
methyl alcohol labels must in
clude the words danger" and
poison, plus the skull and
crossbones symbol.
An FDA spokesman said the
aim of the law is to identity
products as to the hazard they
present.
He added there is no ques-
ton but that turpentine is a
toxic substance, but it is not
as toxic as carbon tetrachloride
or methyl alcohol, so it was
placed in a different category
requiring less stringent hazard
labelling.
