‘CHANGES FROM ORIGINAL BASIS

‘Self-Liguidating’ Gets New Meaning Between June And July.

By CHARLES T. LUCEY | Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, July 13.— The ' character of the Administration's ; Public Works lending legislation just sent to Congress was revealed today to be at wide variance with

The Board has just named two E

new regional directors, one for the; Cleveland area and one for the)

Kansas City district. | =

It is significant that both of these

men—Oscar S. Smith at Cleveland |:

and Hugh E. Sperry at Kansas City —are former members of the staff of the Petroleum Diabor Policy, Board. Dr. William M. Dieiserson, recently appointed a Labor Board

member by President Roosevelt in: answer to criticisms of Board ad-|:°

ministration, was chairman of the Petroleum Dabor Policy Board be-| fore going to the National (Railway) |

Mediation Board. | 3 Dr. Leiserson is expected to con-| :

tinue his function as a troubleshooter in administrative and personnel matters at the Labor Board.) Hitherto his preference has been for men experienced in labor relations work rather than for young lawyers. He works quietly and tries to avoid legal technicalities. He ravelv bluffs and never threatens, but) usually makes every biow count. | Much of the criticism of the Labor Board has been aimed by the) A. F. of L., employers and others at its field personnel. Repeatedly in the current Senate and House hearings on Wagner law amend-| ments withesses have charged bias and indiscretions on the part of regional directors, trial examiners and field agents. Under the new rules, effective tomorrow, regional directors are shorn of their power to appoint trial examiners, the power remaming with the Board itself or its chief trial examiner. This is part of the tightening-up process in adminis-| tration. \ The most widely discussed of the new regulations—that allowing employers caught between rival unions to petition the Board to determine the representative for collective pargaining—may cause as much controversy as the Board's old ban| against employer petitions. Unfortunately for the Board, the! First case is that of General Mo- | tors many Congressmen expect the Roard to take jurisdiction, but the union objects. The C. I. O.-United Auto Workers Union insists that its strike of tool and die makers is merely for a supplemental contract for its own members and not for majority representation

Although the Board has not yet day by Charles W. Chase, president | passed on the two-weeks-old appeal of the two transit companies,

of General Motors, the wording of its new regulation is broad enough | to support the unions contention if | the Board desires

= \ the kind of “self-liquidating” prot X gram which had been expected to wor follow President Roosevelt's ane al nouncement of the plan in June.

Mr, Roosevelt, it had been believed, had meant to propose lending only for projects whose cost actually would be paid off by subse= quent earnings, but the bill sent to Congress also would authorize projects which earn nothing whatever. The Administration, it now appears, is using the term “self-liqui-dating” in the sense that any loan made by the Government which eventually is repaid is in fact a self-liguidating loan. Whether cost of the project could be met by earnings would not matter; even if the cost must be met by general taxation that still would be held to be “self-liquidating.”
