Smith, camp supply man. The building was located at the Slide Creek unit of the power generation area. Dptnils nf the fire had been delayed due to the fact that ra-, rtto communications uctween toe camp and the Copco office here had been out of service, Smith said. New York, N. Y., Jan, 16 We would like to present Mr. Robert N. Denham as "the man of the week." Who is Robert N. Denham? Hn la eeneral counsel of the National Labor Relations Board. And at the Waldorf-Astoria a few nights ago he took his hair down and told some trutns aoout nis employers, ana me NLRB attitude toward labor. Said he in substance: "The NLRB does not follow the law which Is the Taft Hartley Act, but follows the old Wagner Act, apparently on the assumption the former will goon be repealed. Whether this assumption is correct or not, there can be no excuse or justification for the refusal of any individual, or group of individuals, to obey the law. Let them wait until the repeal of any law they oppose has been consummated, before they flaunt it; instead of getting an example of lawlessness such as the board has done the past few years. The Wagner Act is social legislation designed and administered for the BENEFIT OF ONE BRANCH OF OUR LABOR-MANAGEMENT ECONOMY AT THE EXPENSE OF THE OTHER. The Taft-Hartley Act is definitely not social legislation but balanced, regulating legislation." e As has been maintained in this department ever since the Taft-Hartley Act was passed, the measure is not perfect and in certain respects, (as even Senator Taft has declared), should be amended. But In its main aim it is right and marks a vital step In the effort to put labor-management relations on a fair and equit able basis, with special privileges to neither, with justice to both. Opposition to this measure, in the main, has been justified solely on the basis of favoring special privileges for organized labor at the expense of management. And that is why labor leaders have been and are so violently against it. e The extraordinary feature about this incident is that the man named to act as legal counsel for the N.L.R.B., should con demn the methods and practices of his clients, should come out in the open and tell the world what he thinks of a group that takes an oath to obey and enforce the law and then refuses to do either. We can't believe Attorney Denham will hold his job very long, although we believe the NLRB, under the Taft-Hartley act, hasn't the nower to remove him. If he is fired and undoubtedly eventu ally he will be. we would like to see him tour the country and tell the people the facts about the Taft-Hartley act and the NLRB as at present constituted. L,et tne American people get me iruin, and it will soon be apparent that those in favor of retaining the FUNDAMENTAL principle of the Taft-Hartley act are not enemies of organized laoor, but merely opposed to special privileges ior labor. If there are any people in the house contemplating a life of crime we would advise them to confine their efforts to intra-state rather than interstate or government business. In other words let them keep from the clutches of the FBI if they wish to keep out of the clink. For as was remarked many weeks ago even more than the "Canadian Mounted" the American FBI gets its man if he is getable. The extent to which the FBI will go to get a conviction In any Important case, was clcarlv demonstrated at the Hiss trial today when Dr. Murray the Harvard psychologist was concluding his testimony. During the course of the cross-examination, Prosecutor Murphy inquired whether or not Dr. Murray had, after he was asked to come Into the case for tne dclense on the advice oi a triena, inter rogated a certain member of the Time staff regarding the per sonality and character of Whiltakcr Chambers the chief govern ment witness. The Harvard psychologist said he had. ' "What was his name?" asked Murphy, protruding his under jaw until it stuck out about half an inch in front of his bushy and somewhat Achcsonesquc mustache. "I mean give me the name of the friend who suggested the Interview?" "I would rather not say," was the reply, "as the person con cerned was merely a personal friend of mine and has had nothing whatever to do with this case." "I Insist you answer the question," persisted the government prosecutor appealing to the judge. "Must I answer?" asked the witness of the court. "You must unless you think the answer would seriously em barrass or incriminate you," said Judge Goddard. "It would not do that," was the reply, "but as remarked I would not wish to bring my friend's name into the case unless the same should be demanded." However, and Dr. Murray gave the name, adding that two or three days after he interviewed this employee of Time regarding Chambers, the employee was con siderably disturbed when he was visited by two FBI men and put on the grill regarding the conversation. a Well, the point here is this; Dr. Murray had told no one but his attorney. Mr. Cross, and this confidentially about Interviewing this member of the Time editorial staff, the tip had originally come to him from a close per sonal friend, In no way associated with the case or any of the par ticipants: and yet only two or three days after this information was received the FBI knew the man's name, knew he had been interviewed, and had their own representatives on the Job with the individual closeted and checking the story! ' How and where did the FBI get this Information? After attending a portion of the Communist and Coplon trials and practically all of the Hiss trial, this question is a frequent one and seldom can be answered. But that the FBI has ways of tracking down Information as well as individuals, which comes close at times to the miraculous, Is certain. There are two general and apparent reasons of qourse, one is the tremendous number of individual oneratives wnrktne on any Important case day and night; and two, their high grade efficiency and all-around competence. We do not know the exact number of FBI men on the Hiss case, for example, but we would not be surprised to learn the total considerably exceeded 100. That is rather a formidable force for anv slnele defendant and two or three attorneys to combat, particularly if the defendant should be guilty and be depending upon keeping certain facts and incidents, from the knowledge of the prosecution. Once get the government and the FBI on vour trail buddv. and It tint i-mi'i hi done! Guilty or not guilty, the facts are coming out! "I have an agreement with your wife to shovel this walk! What Which is as It should be, of course! R.W.R. Hay Strong, Turkeys Steady On Markets Northwest hay markets are strong and turkey torn prices are steady, it was reported today in agricultural market reports Issued by the Oregon State col lege extension service.

Dille, regional director in the San Francisco office of the Unit ed States department of labor, said today that employers in the western states are showing in creasing interest in new amend ments to the federal wage and hour law under which appren tices, learners, handicapped workers and messengers may be employed at less than the mini mum wage now set at 75 cents an hour. The amendments be come effective January 25. Dille said the act permits the administrator to issue special certificates authorizing the em ployment of some types of work ers at sub-minimum wages. Dille cautioned, however, the certifi cates may be issued only to the extent necessary to prevent curtailment of employment op portunities and the procedure for obtaining the certificates varies with respect to the four types of employees involved. Applications for the certifi cates and additional information about the amendments can be obtained from the regional of fice of the wage and hour and public contracts divisions of the department of labor at 150 fed eral office building, San Fran cisco 2.

New Treatments In Cancer Tumors Bring Regressions Wichita, Kan., Jan. 20 U.R Two new hormone treatments have brought regressions in can cer tumors, according to a report made at the second annual mid west cancer conference today. The team of doctors who made the report warned, however, that the treatments could not be considered a cure for cancer. Sex Hormones Used The team, which included Dr. Roy Hertz of the National Can cer institute and Drs. J. K. Cro mer and Lois Piatt of the George Washington University Cancel Research service, said huge doses of female sex hormones were used in the treatments. One of the hormones proges terone which is secreted from the female ovary, was adminis tered to 20 women with advanc ed cancer of the uterine cervix the report said. Bleeding Reduced In eight of these, lesions heal ed, tumors became smaller and blcedines were reduced and tis sues became pliable, the doctors claimed. The effects were not as decisive in the other patients, they said. However, the doctors said that cancer cells seen in samples were deteriorating under the progesterone treatment.
