Senators Ask
Priority for
Military Issue
WASHINGTON, Oct 20 .-(JP)
Three republican senators de
manded today that congress give-
right of way to the controversial
proposal for! a single armed
forces department. ' -..'-" '
i "Until that question is decided.
then, the problems of peace treat
ies : and postwar armed forces
must be delayed," said Senator
Austin (R-Vt), senior minority
member of the senate military af
fairs committee.
Similar views were expressed
by Senators Guraey (R-SD) and
Revercomb (R-WVa) ' in separate
interviews.
Here is a summary of their
ideas::;
1 1. Agreement upon formal peace
treaties will be delayed until oth
er nations know about postwar
plans for the armed forces of the
United States.
2. Congress cannot act intelligently-
upon plans or .appropria
tlons for these postwar armed
forces until national defense poli
cies have been Settled.
3. These defense plans will
hinge upon the proposal for a
single department continuation of
the present separate army and
navy departments, or possible
addition of a third, the air forces.

Reinstatement of
Man Said Threat
To Closed Shop
WASHINGTON, Oct 20.-WPV-A
dedsion which the AFL predicted
would destroy the union shop sys- j
tem was announced today by the m-it at a press conference in re
national labor relations j board, sponse to a direct question wheth
which ordered a sawmill worker er Emperor Hirohito might pof
reinstatecr. - -. . . . t , , r tihl trimY - . ,r
Ward Wilmarth, discharged un-
der a contract requiring all em
ployes to belong to the AFL lum
ber and sawmill workers union,
was ordered by the NLBR to be
reinstated by Portland lumber
mills. The firm also was instruct
ed to compensate Wilmarth for
pay lost since his discharge, Aug.
21, 1944
The AFL had asked the com
pany to discharge Wilmarth 'be
cause he acted as observer for
the CIO international woodwork
ers of America in a collective bar
gaining election.
The AFL said two problems
would result from his reinstate
ment: (1) if the AFL refuses him,
non-member would be working
in a closed shop plant (2) To
prevent similar incidents, a com
pany would have to investigate
union decisions a power employ
ers do not have.
We, will fight this decision in
all the higher-courts, for it would
destroy the union shop clause in
all our contracts if allowed to
stand," declared Kenneth Davis,
executive' secretary of the AFL
northwestern council, lumber and
sawmill workers. "As a first step,
the case will be -appealed to the
circuit court of appeals."
