WASHINGTON (AIM Feud

Tuesday in an unusual party har

Democratic national chairman

ex-chiefs of the party to serve on
a 1950 campaign strategy com

McKinney’s statement that he
would "gladly" join this group
apparently marked the end of an
Indiana Democratic feud in which
Butler defeated McKinney's
forces to become that state's na
tional committeeman and won
election as national chairman
over the opposition of McKinney
and some other close friends of
Truman.
In an unusual harmony at

U. S. Appeals Court
Rules Against NLRB
WASHINGTON (API The US
Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday
the National Labor Relations
Board cannot take away a un
ion’s privileges to use. the board’s
services on grounds a union of
ficial has filed a false non-com
munist oath and its falsity is
known to the union's members.
Such action, the court held, is
outside the powers granted to the
board by Congress.
Immediately after Gold was re
elected by the union in May, a
month after his conviction, he
submitted a non-communist oath
to the NLRB in accordance with
the annual filing requirement
under the Taft-Hartley Act.
The NLRB rejected Gold’s 1954
affidavit because of his convic
tion, and held the union was not
in compliance with the T-H law.
The court. said the board drew
a conclusion from the fact of
Gold’s conviction that the union
was aware of the falsity of his
1954 affidavit.
The court said the "absence of
authority in the board to deprive
the union of its compliance stat
us .. . cannot be supplied by
membership awareness of the
falsity of the affidavit,” and
added:
"Congress explicitly provided
a criminal penalty for false non
I communist affidavits. It is as
sumed that this threat of crim
inal sanctions would be a suf
ficient deterrent to false swear
I ing by union officials. If these
j sanctions have proved insuffi
cient, it is for Congress, not the
board, to provide new ones.”
