Pensions Bargain - Factor, NLRB Rules
WASHINGTON, Apr, 13 (UP) —The National Labor Relations Board ruled today that employers must bargain with unions on pension plans when unions request such bargaining
In a four-to-one decision, the $
Board ‘said pensions clearly fall Within the Taft-Hartley Act which requires employers and unions to bargain collectively on wages, hours and “other conditions of employment.” Today's ruling was the first board decision in its 13-year history on ady so-called “social fringe Jagies.” Heretofore, employers could bargain on ‘and grant pension Plans if they wished. But they Were not bound to bargain on a union's demand for pensions. The board’s decision was handed down in'a case involving the CIO United Steelworkers and the Inland Steel Co.

Emmerich Manual Traini
Study Cutting Manual Costs
The School Board Building Committee today studied a report on cutting costs of the new Emmerich Manual Training High School by more than $1 million. At a meeting with Alumni yesterday, school officials discussed reducing the estimated 1,200,000 cost of an auditorium building by half by eliminating a special band room. They, also halved the anticipated $727,000 estimate for the projected school’s quadruple gymnasium. Four of 30 classrooms originally planned were tentatively eliminated and science, art, home economics and library facilities were reduced. Supt. Virgil Stinebaugh said the cuts were “possibilities.” No final decisions have been made, he said.

On the tangible side, are a 19th century, red brick building which looks something like the factories and warehouses around it, dingy ‘classrooms, dirty windows with torn shades, dark corridors and peeling paint and plaster. Against this backdrop of antiquity and neglect, the old spirit lives on in the memories of grayhaired alumni and in sentimental poetry composed now and then by students and teachers. From this school came Roy W. Howard, president of The Indianapolis Times; Walter Bedell Smith, U, 8. ambassador to Russia; Mayor Al Feeney and School Board President Clarence L.

Court Upholds Non-Red Oath
Rejects Complaint On Taft-Hartley Law
WASHINGTON, Apr. 13 (UP) —A special three-judge Federal court today upheld the constitutionality of the non-Communist
law,
In a 2 to 1 decision, the tribunal tossed out a complaint by the CIO National Maritime Union that the non-Communist. provisions of the act violate the Constitution. : Upholds Validity The court unanimously upheld the validity of the Taft-Hartley provisions - requiring’ unions to register and submit financial statements. The Maritime Union also had challenged this section as unconstitutional. But the court said Congress was acting within its power when it specified that any union seeking benefits of the law must file financial statements and keep them up to date. “We are of the opinion .. . that « « the provisions of the statute assailed by the planitiff (the union) were enacted and may be enforced without offense to the

When his number comes up there we will take away his seat.” Mr. Greenlee is visiting here accompanied by his wife. Yesterday he called on President Truman with Oscar R. (Jack) Ewing, Federal Security Administrator. “I told the President that 1 am for his renomination and also that Frank McHale, Indiana Democratic national committeeman, is for him,” Mr. Greenlee declared. “But I pointed out that even with the organization for him it will be up to the delegates to decide about the actual nomination. Some Hoosier Democrats seem to like Gen. Eisenhower pretty well and talk about ting him over his protest.

port east of the city. The Russians were reported to have begun demanding photoidentity cards at the road block between Vienna and the airport. They set up the block to serve as a check point yesterday, The photo-identity cards constitute a type of identification with which British troops generally were not equipped. The demand for them was sald to have isolated a number of troops at the airport, Earlier the British reported their military trains were allowed to clear through the Soviet zone without delay, but motor traffic
on the highway to Vienna still was blocked.

The total sum, however, was $725 million bigger than first dsked. It will be made available at once in cash or contract aus thorizations. The Navy will get $803 million and the Air Force $1,473,100,000. - With funds now on hand, the Appropriations Committee said the Air Force and Navy, if Congress okays the request, will have about $4 billion to spend in the aircraft industry. Mr. Symington urged quick enactment of a draft law to provide manpower with which to keep the Army and Navy in balance’ with the Air Force. The Air Force, he said, wants to boost its strength to 502,000 by the end of 1950 to give it 70 air groups. It has been asking for this boost for three years, he said. Mr. Symington aaid it looks as though the United States can never have a land army as big as the Russian army. He said he understood the Russians have 100 divisions under arms. Counting satellite armies, they have per haps 175 divisions. And although the United States has the greatest Navy in the world, “the Russians are building the greatest air force in the world.”
