$75,000 Damage In
Toketee Shed Fire
noseburg, Jan. 20 Damage
estimated at more than $75,000
was caused by a fire in a ware
house and compressor shed at
the California Oregon Power
company's Toketee project last
week, it was reported here by
Karl W. 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the assumption the former will goon be repealed.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!

Employer Interest
San Francisco, Jan. 20 John
R. 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.
