PROBERS OF NLRB| WOO MAN THEY SOUGHT TO FIRE

Seek Communist Expose From Sapors but He Won’t Talk.

By BRUCE CATTON Times Special ‘Writer 3 ’ [4 WASHINGTON, Oct. 3 — Don’t : $3 : 3 overlook the Smith committee's cur- 4 rent effort to prove that Commu- i nists have been running the Na- : ; tional Labor Board. : An immensely interesting story \lies back of it all. Convinced that the Board is more : or less loaded with Communists, the Smith committee has been looking for some board official who might prove sore enough about. the -situation to spill the beans. The man the committee finally tagged for that role is the very man whom the committee itself a few months ago was denouncing as the worst of Communists—David J. Saposs, head of the Board's economic research division. So far, the squeeze play hasn't worked. It landed Saposs in the position of a man who bumped into himself in a revolving door, but it hasn’t resulted in the hoped-for revelation. But the steps in the drama are significant.

Far From Communism

In its report last spring Saposs was the one Board official the committee excoriated as a Communist. Shocked by the committee’s charges, Congress refused to appropriate any money for the work ‘of Saposs's division. Mr. Saposs, who is so far from being a Communist that he enjoys the support and confidence of the board's lone ‘moderate” member, Dr. William Leiserson, felt that he was somehow being made the goat, and tried to do something about it. What Mr. Saposs did was visit two Congressmen—Frank B. Keefe (R. Wis.)'and Albert J. Engel (R. Mich.) and have a long chat, in which he explained his economic and political views and succeeded fairly well in unpinning the Com--munist label from his shirt front. What else he said is in dispute; Mr, Keefe told the committee that Mr. Saposs and Mr. Saposs's chief aide, George W. Brooks, went on to tell him there were plenty of Communists on the board, that he—Mr.

Owes Board Nothing

Meanwhile something else had been happening. Although Congress in June voted his money away, Mr. Saposs didn't lose his job, the board shuffling its funds so as to keep him and his division at work. Now, however, the House has renewed its earlier action, putting. enough teeth in the new bill to make Mr... Saposs’s dismissal unavoidable. This bill is pending in the Senate at this writing. The theory hack of this action is simple—namely, that if Mr. Saposs were finally convinced his place on the board was gone, he wculd be willing to go on the witness stand and tell all. Mr. Saposs owes the board little enough; its defense of him last winter was not even lukewarm, and the minority report of the Smith committee, drafted at the Labor Board and designed to . refute as many as possible of the committee majority's accusations, openly threw him to the wolves. . It hasn't worked out that way, though. Mr. Saposs is in bad with practically everyone—with the Smith committee, which thought it could make him talk and failed, and with the dominant - people inside the Labor Board, who have never liked him and who are afraid he might yet decide to talk out of turn,
