ITU Head Disputes Board's Authority — Hearing Closes On Contract Disputes t'hiimgo. July 19.—(UP) The w.c labor board's newspaper commission expects that its pending i opinion on the legality of automatic inclusion ot International Tyuj ((graphical union laws in contracts with four m-wspapei publishers ' will form tiie basis for decisions in similar cases that follow, hut th • i union maintains any action taken j by the board will be meaningless. Dr. I-' S. Deibler. chairman of 1 the commission, .said today the de- , cislon. expected to be reached soot, would decide the issue “once and or all." But ITU President Wood- ; ruff Randolph asserted the WLB has no jurisdiction over newspapers. This conflict of opinion prevailed : at commission hearings here this week on contract disputes between : the ITU. an AFL union, and the I Baltimore Sunpapers, the Baltimore I News-Post, the San Antonio. Tex., j Express Publishing Co., and the San Antonio Light Publishing Co. I The hearing ended last night. It grew out of the union's presentation of "fringe" contract deI mands ihat the publishers had rei fused to grant. In the course of the hearings, the 1945 general laws of the ITU were brought up for scrutiny and heated arguments ensued. The ITU laws, governing union activities and relations with employers. long have been part of contracts with many publishers. In the past they have been considered non-ai bitrable. The matter was brought up at the hearings, however. because o: a change in the laws adopted at the union's last annual convention. The new law provides that if a local union finde arbitration proceedings are holding up settlem-nt of a dispute, the local may petition the ITU executive council. The council, if it agrees with the local, may rule that the local union's arway -hey treated us. I have been in combat." The letter was signed "a Dough in Company M. 310th infantry.” An army spokesman told the United Pre---- that Ine beating (barges were already being officially investigated by the inspector general's office. No charges will be made until the investigation te completed.

' x ' :, ■ r Al A MWu j v fel? - sC WIDOW of Benito Mussolini, former Italian dictator. Donna Rachele Mussolini, is shown at an Allied detention camp near Rome where she is held along with two of her children. (International) bitration clause is dead as far as

the ITU is concerned. Tiie publishers said the WLB should rule on the legality of inclusion of such a clause in union contracts. because agreements reached with the ITU in the past contained the blanket provision "that the union laws will be enforced." They felt that such amendments to the laws should be subject to arbitration, while the union contended the laws were not arbitrable. ITU President Woodruff Randolph evoked heated controversies at both hearings by insisting that the WLB had no authority to act on tiie matter and that "it is wasting its time." Randolph said the board’s decision will be meaningless because "whichever way it rules, we will continue our present course.” The board was anxious, however, to rule on the issue, because it has been considered the motivating force behind newspaper strikes or lockouts; at Jersey City and Bayonne, N. J . Fort Wayne. Ind., and Birmingham. Ala. While the ITU maintains tiie WLB has "no jurisdiction over th? matter." the publishers contend that a blanket rule forcing acceptance of union laws would destroy tiie principle of collective bargaining. Harvey J. Kelly, general counsel for the Hearst newspapers, expressed the publishers point of view when he stated that the union may male any laws it desires to govern its own membership, but that actual provisions of a signed contract controlling relations between the union and employer must be approved by both parties involved.

There was no way oN determining where the fires were spreading and how much ammunition remained untouched. The force of the last two explosions. at 1:53 and 1.57 a. m., led many to believe that the fire had reached the main dump and the worst was over.
