Election Turn Doesn't Affect
Taft-Hartley Law, Says Agent
-U -WASHINGTON W De
spite the administration's pledge
-to seek repeal of the Taft-Hartley
. labor law, its chief agent, Robert
" N. Dcnham, intends to follow a
'"'business as usual" policy.
' Denham said in an interview
Thursday he will keep on ad
ministering the Republican-spon--
sored labor law "as if nothing had
happened," so long as it is on the
books.
He has some ideas of his own
",.tor changing t, but "nobody has
asked me for any so far."
A number of labor leaders
have suggested privately since
'President Truman's upset election
"victory that Denham either
.'should resign or be ousted in a
. revision of the law's terms.
-States Future
' But to questions about his fu
ture, the 63-year-old general
, rounsel of the National Labor Re
lations Board responded:
'"I am still general counsel and
' 1 will be until the law is changed
"Nobody has asked me for my
' resignation yet," he laughed.
' As general counsel at a $12,000
' annual salary, Denham has a
' four-year term dating from his
July, 1047, Senate confirmation to
the post. He recognizes, however,
.-.that his tenure can be changed by

. with a colorful career, Denham
was an NLRB trial examiner
: when Mr. Truman appointed him
' general counsel after Congress
' enacted the Taft-Hartley law
over tho presidential veto.
', The new labor law built up the
' general counsel's position to one
: that labor unions have said made
, Denham a virtual "labor czar."
Whereas the NLRB under the
' Wagner Act had been prosecutor,
: Judge and Jury over labor cases,
! It became simply, a deciding court
. under the Taft-Hartley law. Full
power over prosecutions was giv
en, to the general counsel's office.
Actions Stir Anger
'Denham, a Republican, quickly
stirred the wrath of labor unions

new law. At the outset he ruled

use the NLRB'i facilities until top
officers of the two groups signed
the controversial non-Communist
affidavits.
The five-man NLRB soon' re
vised this interpretation, however.
It exempted top AFL and CIO
officers from the affidavit re
quirement, but held that officers
of individual member unions
must sign the pledges to become
eligible to make use of the board.
Tough on Management
Denham has been tough with
management as well as labor in
administering the law. He quickly
sought, anr' got, an injunction
against the General Motors Cor
poration when it changes its in
surance provisions for employes
without consulting their union.
Dcnham's position that insurance
and retirement plans are subject
to compulsory collective bargain
ing did not sit well with some
employers.

Morse Sounds
GOP Warning
SEATTLE H') Sen. Wayne
Morse, Oregon Republican, de.
clared Friday that "if the Repub
lican Party doesn't wake up to
itself, it is going out of existence
the way of the Whigs."
He said the party must and will
be revitalized by young members.
The movement, he said, should
start outside of Congress.
Morse declared the Republican
Party should aim "at protecting
the politically and economically
weak from exploitation by the
politically and economically
strong."
But he said this should be done
"within the framework of a priv
ate property economy In accord
ance with legislative principles
and guarantees of the constitution,
including the Bill of Rights.
Younger Men
He said that tenent should be
followed by all the young Repub
licans, who, he said, make up the
group that can save the party from
extinction.
Morse described the party's de
feat in the last election as worse
than in 1932.
"There is no use kidding our
selves by saying too many Repub
licans stayed home on election
day, or the country always retails
a president during prosperous
times."
He said the defeat was worse
than 1932 because President Tru
man staged It almost single-handedly.

special guest on the tour was
Maj. Albert Pam, former treasur
er of the Zoological Society of
London. The major nodded. .
"It was like this," said Dr.
Mann. "I was having a little zooey

Vevers, the director of the London
Zoo, one day last summer. I ad

Major Pam squirmed a little
in the presence of the press as
though he knew what was coming,
which he probably did.
Well, Dr. Mann talked the Brit
ish zoo-man out of one of his
prizes, but before he closed the
deal he said he would like to call
Washington to see If his zoo had
an extra cage.
He picked up Dr. Vevers' phone
and called his lieutenant in our
capital. After he had finished 'he
called the operator and learned
the call cost $19, Including tax.
Dr. Mann put his lunrh hook
into his money pocket, but the
Briton nay-nayed him.
"Why fool with the silly ex
change of dollars," said the Lon
don man. "We'll make a trade.
.What I would like in exchange for
my kusimanse is a pair ot mar

Americans call paririe dogs. Dr.
Mann said he thought he could
oblige and, of course, he did.
Our tour turned then to the
reptile house and the Washington
man gave the Briton his dues.
Keep 'Em Happy
"The design of this house is a
direct steal from the London zoo,"
he said. "Illumination in the
cages. The false bottoms that al

The alligator snapping turtle
(macochelys temminickii) slept
happily through the noise that was
going on outside his cage. It was
80 inside, just like a turtle of his
kind likes. Outside where people
were, it was like what people like,
About 68.
Frailer
Another steal from the London
Zoo. The right temperature for
animals: ditto for humans.
"More attention must be paid
to the animals," put in Major
Pam. "They die easier than
people, you know."
The tour worked Its way to the
zoo restaurant at lunchtime and
Major Pam had to take a back
seat to his host who was busy
autographing his new book called
"Ant Hill Odyssey." -"Doesn't
