MORSE FOR PROTECTING WLB RULING POWERS Washington. Jan. 80. (U.R) Sen. Wayne Morse, R., Ore., for mer member of the War Labor Board, said today that if the supreme court holds that the president has no authority to enforce WLB orders in all in dustries, congress should pass legislation "without delay" to give him that power. Morse and many other mem bers of congress saw a need for clarification of labor legislation as a result of the Chicago fed eral court ruling that the presi dent had no authority to seize Montgomery Ward properties be cause it was not a war Industry. Under present iaw, seizure is the only weapon the president has to compel compliance with WLB orders. The government is planning to appeal the case. Mori Disagrees Morse disagreed with the Chi cago court ruling, but said that it it stands congress must enact new legislation at once. "In my Judgment," he said in an interview, "the powers of the Special Meeting The SALVATION ARMY 236 No. Bartlett Street A WELCOME TO Major G. R. "Spike" Durham WEDNESDAY, 7:30 P. M.

Morse termed it "very unreal. lstic'' to attempt to draw any distinction between an essential and a non-essential industry. "We cannot say that one group of American employers is free to settle its labor riisnnt. as it so desires, and that another group 01 American employers is bound by the no-lockout ha ald.
