AFL Irked By
Denham's Speech
On Teamsters
MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Jan. Sl
ur) ine mgn command ol the
American Federation ol Labor,
irked at the latest speech of Rob
bert N. Denham, hat called him
"unlit" for his government job.
The AFL leadership said Den
ham, general counsel ol the Na
tional Labor Relations board, is
seeking to apply the anti-trust
laws to labor unions.
What drew the ire of the AFL's
executive council was Denham's
speech in Washington yesterday
saying the AFL teamsters' union
has a potential power to cripple
most industries.
Denham said the million-man
union of truck drivers exercises
control over delivery of materials
touching nearly every industry in
the country.
This brought a blast against
him from the AFL council and hot
words rom several council mem
bers, including President William
i Green and Dan Tobin, teamster's
union chief.
Still another member said pri
vately: "It's bad enough having to live
wtih the Taft-Hartley law with
out Denham running around the
country telling employers they
ought to get even tougher laws
on labor."
The council noted that only a
few weeks ago Denham made a
speecn accusing the NLRB of pro
labor bias and suggming that
employers appeal board rulings
to tne courts. -While
branding Denham as "un
fit" to continue in his Job, none
of the AFL leaders went so far
as to suggest his removal from
office as CIO President Philip
Murray has done several times.

Legion Opposes
Draft Retention,
Asks Alternative
WASHINGTON, Jan. '31 UP)
The American Legion yesterday
came out against President Tru
man's proposal to continue the
dralt law. Instead, tne Legion
acvocated a program of univer
sal military training.
The Legion's position was out
lined to the House Armed serv
ices committee by Miles D. Ken
nedy, director of its national leg
islative commission. The com
mittee Is considering Mr. Tru
man's request for a three-year
extension of the draft act beyond
next June.
Several other foes of keeping
the draft law alive also appear
ed before the committee.
Kennedy said the Legion had
supported past peacetime draft
laws "as a temporary expedi
ent," but "the value of selective
service as a deterrent to enemy
aggression has long since pass
ed." "The potential strength of the
American nation can best be or
ganized through national security
training, and now is the time for
enactment of this program' he
added.
Robert S. Tubbs, a member of
the Kent county, Mich., draft
board, also opposed extension of
selective nervice.
The Women's Christian Tem
perance union registered its op
position through Miss Elizabeth
A. Smart of Evanston, 111., who
said the draft Is not necessary.
