Sabatini. of Bristol, Pa., said he moved after showing his prospec tive new landlords a copy of Holt's letter. "I just wanted to make sure they wercn t anti-American, too, be said. "They weren't."

The first effort was contained in the 1S-17 Taft-Hartley Labor Re lations Act, the other in the Com munist Control Act of 1954. The Supreme Court yesterday vetoed a four-year drive by the National Relations Board t o punish unions with leaders found to have filed false non-Communist affidavits under the 1947 law re quirement. The court laid tha leaders could be punished, but not ' their unions. The Communist Control Act vested In the Subversive Activities Control Board the power to strip Bed - infiltrated unions of the NLRB's vital help in obtaining and enforcing bargaining rights. But two cases initiated over a year ago under that law by Atty. Gen. Browncll never have gotten past legal preliminaries. The Eisenhower administration is presently planning a new set of proposed revisions in the Taft Hartley labor law to present la congress in ' January. Considera tion of any such proposals in evitably would include the matter of dealing with Communist led unions. In its unanimous ruling yester day the Supreme Court held In two enses that the sole penalty In the Taft Hartley law Is one against officers who file fake af fidavits from officers of unions which wish to use the NLRB processes. The two cases Involve the Inter national Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers and the Inter national Fur and Leather Workers Union, the latte; now a branch of the AFL-CIO Amalgamated Meatcutters. Both the Mine Mill and the Fur-Leather Unions were among those the eld CIO ousted for alleged Communist domina tion. Ben Gold, former Fur Workera president, and Maurice Travis, former Mine-Mill secretary-treas urer, were convicted of filing false non-Communist affidavits, quit their union jobs and are now appealing their convictions, 1 2 O ix en to to 5 S EH 8C0 f-2 iO et M Cs t u - n o Da u u M llfi)HJI-J:i Hltfj-'M -J:i B Oregonianto . :.
