National Board Tells Congress Legal Limitation Cannot Be Imposed.

Six Points Brought Out
The report continued:
1. An observation that the First Circuit Court of Appeals was the pnly one of 10 circuits and the Disfrict of Columbia to grant injunc- ' tive relief against NLRB orders. *The tide of injunction suits against fhe board . . . has almost entirely subsided” since Supreme Court affirmation of the law’s constitutionality, the report said. 2. An assertion that a “binding pgreement” is the result desired under the act for collective bargaining and that such an agreement is automatically imposed upon an employer as a sign he is bargaining ; in good faith, if he is able to achieve
3» — pn undestanding on union proposals.
3. A statement by the board that the law “is not intended to interfere generally with the freedom of an employer, to hire and discharge (employees) in the interest ‘of effipiency or from personal animosity or sheer caprice. But in making these decisions he must not differentiate between one of his employees and another, or between his actual and his potential employees, on grounds of union affiliation or - petivity.”
Claims Interstate Control
4, Declaration by the board that the Supreme Court Wagner Act de- + cisions give the board “jurisdiction under the act over all producing and manufacturing enterprises which, in connection with their producing or manufacturing operations, receive or ship in interstate commerce a substantial part of their raw materials: or manufactured products.”
5. A defense of granting exclusive bargaining recognition to one union in large plants because “the functional coherence and interdependence of the various departments in ‘ mass-production. industries | has often impelled the board to treat all of the production and maintenance employees of a given company as a single unit.” This trend has frequently been attacked by the A .F.of L. 6. A statement that “the duty of an employer to bargain collectively with the representatives of his employees is not extinguished by the occurrence of a strike.”

Title Holders ‘Fine’ Thing, Says Kentucky
3 An Indianapolis motorist drove alongside a traffic policeman on Pennsylvania St. today, stopped his car.and produced his certificate of title. Then he volunteered: “I'm carrying it with me, but I'm not putting that celluloid case on the windshield.” (Required by a new Indiana law.) The policeman said nothing and the motorist continued: “I'm mad. I justgot through paying a fine for having that thing on my windshield in Kentucky. It’s a violation of the law down there to have any . obstruction on the windshield.” He shifted gears, stuck the certificate of title, celluloid holder and all, back into his pocket. Just before he started, he added: “And they told me down there that it’s a violation of the Ohio law, too.” Then he was gone. The policeman didn’t say anything. A checkup today of Kentucky laws disclosed that state had no such statute and it is probable the arrest. was-made under some municipal ordinance, police explained.

He replaced Mayor Bueiches, who is ill, on the luncheon progra “Smoke control is — the Health Department in a number of cities,” Mr. Johnson told the realtors. “In my: opinion we could get farther in Indianapolis if it were brought under the supervision of the Health Board here. “There has been no “attempt to enforce the smoke abatement law under the present setup and the Health Department would be inclined to enforce the smoke ordinance. “Furthermore, the Health Board is one of the departments that command the respect of the public. “Real estate values are affected by smoke. We constantly are getting statements from people who visit the City and then change their minds about moving here when they see the smoke. + “We know rental and sales values are seriously affected by the smoke, and even assessment values. I know of persons who have moved away from the city because of the nuisance. “Another example of its effect is the trend of residents, particularly on the North Side, to move entirely outside the city to areas where the atmosphere is“clearer.”

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Jan. 6 (U.P.) —Wendell Forrest Bowers, 19, embittered by the poverty that “kicked him into crime,” calmly considered today the prospect of death in the electric’ chair as he awaited removal to Pennsylvania for the slaying Dec. 13 of Mrs. Wilma V. Carpenter, Philadelphia socialite and former Indianapolis woman. The boyish ex-convict confessed the slaying Tuesday night, police said. He was turned over to Pennsylvania authorities today. “I'm not afraid of the electric chair,” he said.’ I've been stealing and robbing since I've been knee high to a grassMy mother died when'I was 14 months old and I've never I've been tossed around so much I had to turn to

to do this, and have complained that their colleagues of the majority were reading the minds of legislators to discover unwritten intentions which might transgress property rights. The late Associate Justice Holmes once warned in a
| dissenting opinion that “the sky is
the limit” if “due process” powers are expanded by the courts. Taxes: Under conservative: Supreme Courts the - income fax amendment, though it authorizes levies on ‘income “from whatever source derived,” has-been held not to cover stock dividends, or the salaries of state officials and Federal judges. Other loopholes have been opened by Court action, many of them protested by the liberals.
Civil Liberties Field Clear
Reversals are possible in many other fields. A stricter interpretation of the
layton ‘Act eral Trade
e:] suits present the question. In the realm of civil liberties no great change is in prospect. The liberals have won every such case since 1932. The exclusion of conscientious objectors from U, S. citizenship, may be reopened. ‘All such changes, if they come, will be gradual and over periods of months or years. McNinch Not Mentioned Conjecture as to the President's selection today proceeded on two major assumptions—that the nominee will be an unquestioned liberal,
Jand that he will be from the West
or from some other judicial circuit not now represented on the Court. 1t is also-apparent from the President’s utterances that no one such older than 60 will be named. Frank R. McNinch, the Federal Communications Commission chairman and recently. the President's chief adviser on power questions, developed today as a new and important possibility. Mr. McNinch is a forthright advocate of “prudent investment” and of strict Federal and local regulation of utilities. He is 64 and his state, North Carolina,

tee introduced a bill proposing to continue heavy highway appropria-
| tions for 1940 and 1941, despite Mr.
Roosevelt's demands for heavy reductions. Reporting a money bill for 37 ‘independent Government agencies, however, the appropriations bill cut heavily into “pork barrel” -items in setting the measure’s total at $1,414,818,515. Mr. . Roosevelt's demands that Government costs be held down were strengthened from another direction when Secretary .of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr. announced ' that there appears no immediate need for additional funds to meet relief demands. The independent offices bill was reported a month ahead of the first bill last year. The dent “asked a cut of $123,669,000 in funds for the Civilian Conservation Corps and the. Committee upheld him in approving
the budget estimate of $226,331,000.
This item promised to make trouble in House debate.
CCC Funds Cut
The early start on appropriations was made possible by hearings before the special session opened last year, The measure’s major reduction was the $123,669.000 cut in CCC funds. The decrease requires that the number of camps be cut from an average of 1612 for the current year to 1200 for 1939. The number of enrollees will be reduced from 315,000 to 250,000. The largest increase over 1938 was a $70,559,322 appropriation for the Social Security Board. For the Tennessee Valley Authority, President Roosevelt asked a
tractual authorization of $4,000,000. The Committee cut the appropriation to $37,087,000, a reduction $3,079,270,
