UP The International Typograph ical union today weighed whether to appeal lor its deieat in me iirst major newspaper case under the Taft-Hartley act. The National Labor Relations board yesterday found the AFL printers' union guilty of violating the labor Inw. The board held that the ITU tried to force on publish ers the outlawed closed shop, through a "continuing threat to strike." Two unanimous decisions were handed down. In each, the NLUB directed the union to stop trying to compel employers to "discrimi nate" against any employes. One case arose from ITU's 22- month strike against Chicago newspapers, settled last momh. The other, In which ITU was held guilty of unfair labor practices, was filed by the American News paper Publishers association, in behalf of its 800 members. May Serve At Guide The broad pattern of the deci sions, board officials said, may be expected to guide the NLRB in other pending cases involving at least one newspaper and groups of commercial printers In six cit ies. These decisions will be forth coming shortly, an official pre dicted. At one time, not less than 15 newspapers were being struck simultaneously as ITU pressed Its campaign. Gerhard P. Van Arkel, ITU general counsel, told reporters the nig union has a "complete right to appeal" to the United Slates circuit court. But he said this must be discussed by union officials, who are now widely scattered. Otherwise, neither he nor the chief counsel for the publishers' association, Elisha Hanson, had Immediate comment. Both wanted to make closer studies of the rulings. ITU has been under a federal district court Injunction since March 27, 1948, forbidding the disputed bargaining practices pending NLRB's ruling. The in junction now will be lifted. Van Arkel said no present ITU contracts will be affected by the board's action.

Two more shovels and compressed air hammers joined the seooplng-out operation which allowed workers to get to the base of (he pipe. An oxygen line dangled In the pipe near Bobby's head and kept pumping until rescuers with cold chisels and tin snippers cut through to the lad at 5:42 p.m. Master Mechanic M.R. Miller of the fire department held Bob by's hand to comfort him as the section of pipe was removed. Miller then lifted the youngster and handed him swiftly but gent ly to Police Lt. Otto Ludwig. Bobby was kicking. He holler ed, "Daddy." The civ was al most lost in the roar of some 2.000 spectators who had remain ed silent until those pressing against police ropes saw the child move. Workers had dropped a small rope down the pipe and succeed ed In working It onto Bobby's wrist. They did not attempt to pull him up. They feared the rope might slip off or Bobby might be injured by any upward movement in the narrow confin es of the pipe. Bobby's body first lodged about 14 feet down in the pipe.

Pro-Communists Target Of Big CIO Convention (Continued from Page One) throw at least three unions out of the organization. The left-wing unions scheduled to get the boot are the United Electrical Work ers, the Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers and the Farm Equipment Workers. The three have a com bined membership of about a half million. In addition to these three unions, which probably have been most critical of the leadership of CIO President Murray, eight or nine others are reported lined up in the left-wing. The Farm Equipment Workers union yesterday announced at Chicago it had voted 84 per cent in iavor or merging its members with the United Electrical Work ers, the CIO's third largest af- iinate. ine ft: claims 55,000 members 40.000 of them in In ternational Harvester company plants. Because the FE flaunted a d rectlve from the national CTO a year ago to join the right wing United Auto Workers, it had reason to expect being disciplined at next week's convention. The FE lorfelled Us right to a delegation In the convention by becoming 11 months in arrears in its per capita ihx io me national organization. Allan S. Haywood, CIO vice president, said the CIO will not recognize the merger and that the UE could not gain larger con vention representation by the move, even if it pays additional per capita taxes for the FE mem bers absorbed. "The Jurisdiction belones to the auto workers," Haywood said. FUNERAL SERVICES SET Funeral services for Charles H.

Failure To Shoot Elk Is Bother To Lost Hunter "Getting lost didn't bother me too much what really hurt was having to let two big elk bulls go without trying a shot, knnvfir.tf I couldn't pack one of them out alone." Jim Byril, local elk hunter, was still shaking his head in chagrin today, following his night out aione in the Long Ridge country after becoming separated from the other two members of the hunting party. Byrd said he became lost when he went "one ridge too far" while hunting with his son, Ira Byrd, and Red Eckhart, both sheriff's deputies. First thing I knew, there was a mountain between us and I couldn't find Ira and Red," he said. After trying unsuccessfully to locate his fellow hunters, the elder Byrd constructed a bark lean-to against a large stump, build a fire to dry his clothing and went to sleep. HI-.? first sight of help was a small plane piloted by George Phelps, Roseburg airport man ager, who indicated the line Byrd was to follow. Byrd's son had at tempted earlier in the day to spot his father from the air, but was unsuccessful because of the dense early morning fog. Byrd said he finally heard a shot and, by exchanged answer ing shots with his rescuers, finally met the search party. He said after 24 hours without eating, he was "mighty glad" to see Jerry Rust walking toward him with food. Aiding in the search were Rust, Ira Byrd, Phelps, Red Eckhart, and Dallas Bennett.
