(IP) It didn't take Howard Wright long to dash for cov er when he saw a glistening ob ject whistling earthward at him yesterday. Wright, operator of an auto park and garage, heard a splint ering crash before he had reach ed his office on the dead run.

Washington, Deo. 12. (fl5) A memorandum was placed In the record of the house labor board committee today which quoted John Boettiger, Presi dent Roosevelt's son-in-law as saying he "didn't blame employ ers for complaining" against NLRB's administration of the Wagner act. The memorandum was from Elwyn J. Eagen, labor board regional director at Seattle, to Nathan Witt, board secretary, and reported on a conversation Eagen said he had with Boetti ger. The conversation allegedly concerned a case in which Wil liam Randolph Hearst's Seattle newspaper and the American Newspaper Guild were involved. Boettiger is publisher of the Hearst newspaper in Seattle. Decision Rankled "Boettiger stated," Eagen wrote, "that he was very sym pathetic with the act, but that when it was administered by a board which made the kind of decision it made in this case, that he didn't blame employers for complaining about the board. "He stated very definitely that he did not intend to take the matter up with the presi dent, that he never used his family connections to accom plish anything in which he might be personally interested. "He Indicated that he did not intend to publicize his feelings or to make them known gener ally. He asked me not to do so, but inferred that he thought I would communicate the sub stance of his conversation to the board." In recounting the Seattle case Eagen asserted that after a set tlement had been completed "Boettiger leaned back in his chair and stated he had some thing to say to me as a represen tative of the board, that what he had to say was in no sense a reflection upon me personally, but as I was the only one avail able representing the board, he would speak his piece to me." Facts Distorted "He stated to, me," said Eagen "that he thought the board's order was based upon a distor tion of the facts produced at the hearings and (upon) illogical Inferences, that he personally resented the decision very much and was only complying so as not to embarrass the adminis tration and to avoid prolonging tne controversy. "He also stated that he did not want to do anything which would jeopardize the very fine relations which he had with the newspaper Guild. "He made some very exten sive remarks about the trial examiner's unfairness and the fact that the board would not consider the company's protest in regard to the trial examiner. who, he was later informed, had been discharged for unfairness." Eagen said he "tried to con vince" Boettiger the board made its decision "in a fair manner on what appeared to be the facts from the record." Bridget' Activity Told Prior to submission of the Eagen note, the commitee was advised that Harry Bridges, CIO west coast leader, led a cam paign against Towne Nylander, NLRB board director at Los An geles who later resigned. Edmund M. Toland, commit tee counsel, read into the record a long report of an investigation of the Los Angeles office pre pared by two Washington board officials which said Nylander's social relations with labor lead ers in his area generated dis trust. This report,, prepared by George Pratt, chief trial exam iner here, and Gerhard Van Arkel, attorney here, said the "Harry Bridges" group in the CIO were active in the distrust of Nylander but that other CIO io tbic you miy enjoy the fullest flsvor nd strength Schilling spe cially prepares lu delicious coffees! one for Drip or GUis-maker one for Percolator or Boiling.
