NLRB, Denham
In Fresh Clash
WASHINGTON, June . UP)
The National Labor Relations board
today refused to go along with
general counsel Hobert N. Den
ham in waiving union shop elec
tions in the widely scattered build
ing and construction industry.
Denham had asked the board last
Dec. 19 to recognize the difficulty
in conducting the elections in the
industry which employes about
2.000.000 workers.
He suggested waiving the elec
tions despite the Taft-Hartley act
provision requiring workers to vote
on proposed union shop agree
ments.
Under a union shop arrangement,
all workers must join a union
within a short period after they
are hired.
The board's special policy state-
ment on the issue was another
round in the feud between the five-
man panel and Denham. The board
said the legal requirement for the
union shop elections is clear and
must be followed.
Earlier this year the board sup
ported President Truman's unsuc
cessful effort to have Congress
eliminate Denham s job.
The hoard's statement, in effect,
accused Denham of not obeying
the law in waiving the elections.
This follows repeated contentions
by Denham that the board, too. is
ignoring plain provisions of the
Taft-Hartley act.

Street Light Bids,
Sewer Estimates
Eyed By Council
The city council last night took
under advisement bids submitted
for extension of the street lights
on South Stephens. The council
will study the bids today and make
their decision at a special, meet
ing called, also, for the purpose of
canvassing of the airport election
votes Wednesday at 5:15 p. m.
Trowbridge Electric submitted
an overall bid of $10,750, using
either General Electric or West
inghouse fixtures. There was slight
variation in the figures, but the
overall bid was the same. Alter
nates were listed, reducing the to
tal by $3,133.31, if the city did the
ditching, base excavation and
backliu.
A bid for materials only was
submitted by Industrial Electric
for a total of $4,906.52. less 2 per
cent discount. Westinghouse bid on
four material items only, includ
ing metal standards, luminaire fix
tures, transformers and 21,000
lumen lamps.
The city has budgeted for the
next fiscal year $7,800 but has oth
er funds which might be diverted
for this purpose, if the council
sees fit.
Sower Estimates Made
A preliminary survey has been
made, at the request of the resi
dents, as to sewers in Millers ad
dition and hleepy Hollow. The pre
liminary estimate places the C03t
of sewers at $40,672, which is ex
cessive, compared with the as
sessed valuation of the area of
only $58,373, according to a re
port by Councilman Frank Ashley.
Since some of the lots are val
ued at considerably less than the
cost of the sewers per lot, the
cost could not be Bancrofted, un
less the owners made up the dif
ference between the valuation and
the cost of the sewers. The re
mainder could then be Bancrofted.
The council committee will meet
with representatives from the
area to determine the procedure
to follow.
Books To Be Audited
The council employed Leo F.
Young to audit the city's books at
a cost of $40 daily for auditor and
$24 daily for a junior accountant,
with the total cost not to exceed
$750, the amount budgeted for this
work.
The council approved plans
and specifications, as submitted by
engineer Ben Irving, for the im
provement of south Kane street
from its present terminus to Har
ris street. The work ties in with
the improvement of Hawthorne
Terrace.
The city manager was authorized
to purchase an asphalt spreader,
within the limits of the amount
provided in the new budget. This
amount is $1,000.
The amount of $100 from the
emergency fund was voted toward
a Fourth of July fireworks display,
to be sponsored by the Junior
Chamber of Commerce.
A petition was read requesting
the grading and graveling of the
parking strip in the 1200 block on
No. Jackson. The council deter
mined nothing could be done at
this tir except that the grass and
weeds would be cut.
Request for oiling of Maple Ave.,
signed by eight residents was pre
sented. The council has no funds
budgeted for this. The city man
ager was instructed to inform the
petitioners that the council would
be willing to discuss with them
means whereby they might get the
work done themselves.

Little" Shelton
Again Dodges Gun
Death In Ambush
FAIRFIELD, 111., June 6-P-
Gunmen firing from ambush tried
again yesterday to take the life of
"little Earl" Shelton. But bullets
apparently intended for him plowed
instead into a companion, wound
ing him critically. The associate,
Dellos Wylie, 35, was taken to a
hospital. He was shot three tim';
in the back.
Wylie and Earl, 34, recenjy
bought a building to be used as a
garage. It is on highway 45, two
miles west of here.
The pair drove up to the building
yesterday afternoon and sat for a
moment chatting. There was a sud
den burst of gunfire and bullets
tore into the car.
Earl ducked, shoved Wylie out of
the vehicle and followed. They fled
into the garage. A second fusillade
ripped into the building.
Sheriff timer Brown said Wylie
lost his head" and tried to make
a run for it, probably to hide be
hind the building. He was cut down
in his tracks.
Earl, who escaped inu7ry, gave
the sheriff only meager details of
the attack. As in past shootings, he
refused to speculate on who the
gunmen might be or what their
motive was.
The shooting marked another
chapter in the bloody history of
the bheltons. Little barf is a neph
ew of "Big Earl" Shelton, whose
two brothers were shot and killed
from ambush Carl in October
1947, and Bernie In July, 1948.
Numerous attempts have been
made on Big Earl's life, the last
one on May 23. Riding with little
Earl, he was shot in the right
forearm in a burst of fire that
riddled the car.

U. S. Lead In Atomic Weapons Can Ban
Another War, Military Heads Believe
WASHINGTON- Military planners are sticking to the belief that
America'! apparent lead in atomic weapons can prevent a third
world war.
If one does come, they feel such a head start would play a major
role along with toe rest of the nation's defense machine in achieving
victory.
But in conversations with a re
porter they made clear they do not
think atomic superiority will make
defense cheap or easy.
They believe that new tactical
atomic weapons weapons usable
against troops and their lines of
communications hold the key to a
defense setup which the west can
achieve without spending beyond
its means.
In a radio and television broad
cast, Gen. J. Lawton Collins, army
chief of staff, said that atomic
weapons for use by the army
"most assuredly can be develop
ed." He declared the army is doing a
great deal of work toward develop
ing weapons that it can use with
atomic materials.
And he added that it is "by no
means impossible" to develop an
artillery piece that will fire an
atomic weapon, or guided missiles
which could carry an atomic war
head. The Associated Press has receiv
ed authoritative information that
such weapons already have been
developed.
Russia Believod Lagging
Referring obviously to Russia,
but without mentioning that coun
try by name, Collins said:
"We don't believe the enemy
would have these weapons because
there is a limit to his industrial
capacity and his research and de
velopment field. We think that we
can and are keeping ahead of
him."
Apparently, the United Slates
had a lead of slightly more than

four years in production of the
first atomic bomb. The first bomb
exploded in a New Mexico desert
on July 16, 1945. Not until Septem
ber 23, 1949, did President Truman
announce that an atomic explosion
bad occurred in Russia.
Converting this apparent lead
into more effective military
strength by the time Russia has a
substantial stockpile of atom
bombs is the military planners'
prime objective. No one knows ex
actly when Russia will have such
stockpile, but it is widely expected
to be within two to five years.
Collins mentioned atomic bombs

of "making it practicable for west

certain aid from us, within the
economic possibilities of European
