The Army and Navy two months ana

they may beat the Army and Navy this time In the last battle ooce of the most effective Army-Navy weapons was the unpopularity of the National Labor Relations 8oard which decides Wagner law cescs and which has been partly uancermined by A F. of L. charges of bias. Contractors joined with the

Army and Navy in protesting that the blacklist would operate unfairly during months or while cases were pending before the Labor Board Change Is Made This effective opposition argument is set aside by labor's new

NLRB Head Says Rules May Be Changed

WASHINGTON, May 22 (U. P.)) — Chairman J Warren today said that the National Labor Relations Board is giving “serious thought” to changes in its administrative rules which would permit employers to petition for an election to settle jurisdictional disputes between labor unions The change has been repeatedly requested by emplovers and today was advocated by Donald Wakefield Smith, former Board member whose nomination was withdrawn from the Senate because of widespread oppo-

sition.

Mr. Madden made his statement after Chairman Elbert DD. Thomas (D. Utah) of the Senate Labor Com-

nittee which is considering amendment proposals to the labor act said that such revision might be “a very, very helpful thing to consider.” Senator Thomas is doubtful of Senate action at session on Wagner act amendments and indicated that administrative action by the board would aid the situation

this

Mr Madden said that consideration of the administrative change had been delayed by the demands

upon the Board's time resulting from the labor act hearings. He indicated that there was a disposition on the board for such a change, but pointed out that action was difficult

TAXES KEY TO ADJOURNMENT

Neutrality Changes Seen Definitely Out Until | Next Session.

WASHINGTON, May 22 (U. P) —Mid-July adjournment plans for Congress were based today on abandonment of further neutrality action at this session and speed) showdown on business deterrent taxation Approximately $1,700,000,000 of corporation and manufacturer's excise levies expire this year, some of them on June 30. Before that date the House is expected to have started a tax plan of some Kind through Congress. But if New Deal forces prevail, it will be limited to mere resolution continuing the expiring levies at present levels There also is discussion of a House compromise on tie bitterly disputed corporation surplus tax one of a group of levies which expire Dec. 31. It has been suggested that tax on undistributed profits he reduced from its present 22 per cent to 1: per cent. That would | leave the principle intact but would almost abandon it in practice

‘Stand Pat’ Senate conservatives professed no interest in such a compromise and stood pat on their promise to eliminate the levy entirely at the first opportunity, which scarcely can be postponed beyond next month All concerned appeared to be reconciled to postponement of neutrality legislation until next year, although the cash-and-carry provision of the existing act pertaining to materials other than actual implements of war expired this month Postponement would be permitted on the assumption that there will be no war at least until Congress convenes in January

Senators

Fiscal Powers Expired | The tax dispute lies about where last week's White House conference left it, except that efforts are being made on the House side to find a method of adjustment less embarrassing to the Administration than surrender to the ultimatum of taxreform Senace conservatives | Congress also must act shortly on vital fiscal policies including | Treasury's two billion dollar stabili(zation fund, dollar devaluation, | Presidential authority to issue three |billion dollars of greenback money and silver purchase. These powers of the President also will expire | June 30.
