AFL-CIO to Take In
Detecting Hoffo Units

NEW YORK, Oct. IL (AP) -
The AFL-CIO Executive Coun-
Gil voted. "a to 2, today tt
give separate AFL-CIO char
tiers to local unions rebelling
from James r. Hoffa's Team
sters' Union.
The council steered clear,
however, of establishing a sim
gle rival Transfers Union in
the federation.
Although avoiding this step,
the action taken in extending a
welcome to detecting units of
Mr.. Hoffa's union is the most
drastic step taken so far in the
four-year feud between the
AFL-CIO and the organiza-
ton headed by Mr.. Hoffa.
George Meany. AFL-CIC
president, was asked whether
taking in branches of Mr.
Hoffa's union might lead to
a head-busting era between the
Hoffa union and the AFL-CIO
Il don't really know" he re-
piled. 1--WE don't go in for
head-busting. You'll have to
ask Mr.. Hoffa about that"
Mr.. Meany said the AFL-CIO
already has applications from
about 100 of the nearly 900
Teamsters Union locals to join
up with the AFL-CIO. He said

Merchants Ask
Uniform Sunday
Closing Statute

The Maryland Council of Re-
tail Merchants asked the State
Legislative Council today to
support a uniform" Sunday
closing law.
William G. EwaiG. a repre-
sentative Of the merchants
group. said that Maryland's
Sunday closing laws are con-
fusing and difficult to enforce
and that adoption of a new one
with uniform application over
the State would simplify en-
forcement.
The Supreme Court recently
upheld the right of States to
adopt the so-called blue laws. "
One Of the cases involved a
Maryland firm.
Also supporting the proposed
legislation were the Maryland
Automotive Trade Association
and the Rev. Charles F. Kirkley,
a member Of the Governors
commission appointed two years
ago to study the Sunday-closing
laws.
Maryland's Sunday laws date
back 200 years. The regula-
tions differ in various localities,
and Mr.. Ewald said they should
be brought up to date"

ner 143,730 pounds C$402, 444).
Both men exercised their
right-guaranteed by the pools
- to remain anonymous.
Spokesman said the winner of
the larger sum came from Lam
cashire and the other man
from Edinburgh.
Both payoffs were made on
what is known as the treble
chance pools. In these, gam
blers try to pick eight games
on the weekly English and
Scottish professional soccer pro-
gram which will end in ties.
The Lancastrian and the Ed
inburgher were the only two
of the millions of players to
wind up with a perfect score
on last Saturdays games. Their
winnings are tax-free.
The Lancashire gambler de-
clined to permit any hint of
his identity. The Granddaughter
described himself as middle
aged with a small business and
four young children.
Although the farthing is no
longer legal tender, it is stipu-
lated as the cost per chance
in some pools. 1t works out
all right because most players
buy a large number of chances
and pay off in pennies, shil-
lings or pounds.

NLRB Protects
Firm Profits
In Union Fight

A National Labor Relations
Board trial examiner has up
held an Arlington company's
formula for protecting itself
from the cross-fire when unions
battle over job Jurisdictions.
The Arlington Asphalt Co.,
1855 North Arlington Ridge
road, had insisted that the
union representing it's employees
must pay for profits lost be-
cause of boycotts or other
pressures exerted by rival
unions.
George L. Powell, the NLRB
examiner, yesterday upheld the
company's right to demand this
kind of protection. He recon-
mended dismissal of a union
complaint that the COM
pany's insistence on protection
violated the Taft Hartley Act.
May Be Appealed
Mr.. Powell'S findings in the
novel case may be appealed to
the NLRB and the courts.
District so. the catch-all af-
filiate of the United Mine
Workers of America, is. the Ger
titled bargaining representative
of about 100 of the company's
employees. The UNIV is not
affiliated with the AFL-CIO,
and District so constantly bat
ties AFL-CIO construction un-
ions.
The company and District so
agreed on wages and other
terms Of a contract last year,
but the company refused to
sign until the union agreed to
some form of Naturalization
clause.
Under this proposal, the I'M
ion would recompenSe the COM
pany for any profit losses
caused by rival unions pres
sure. The company suggested
that the union post a $4,000
surety bond.
District so charged that the
company's adamant stand on
this issue constituted refusal
to bargain in good faith, in
violation of the Taft-Hartley
Act. The union commended it
was not required by law to
bargain on an indemnity bond.
Held Within Its Rights
Rejecting the complaint, Ex-
aminer Powell said the COM
pany was within its rights
when it refused to yield on
Naturalization. He said the
union must bargain on indem-
MITIGATION, but noted that the
legal obligation to bargain does
not mean tho. union must
accede to the company's de-
mand.
Mr.. Powell said the evidence
indicated there was a prob
ability" that AFL-CIO unions
would retaliate if the company
signed a contract with District
so.
He accepted testimony that
AFL-CIO unions had put the

It is likely that Syria soon

tinued to win international

Egypt. competing political

ban is temporary until the new

ment of Premier KuZbari last
