CIO 'pet baby' of NLRB, Padway charges. Washington, D.C., May 3. Joseph A. Padway, AF of L General Counsel, told the Senate Labor Committee that the CIO is the 'pet baby' of the NLRB. He pointed out that the Board had once said that foremen could not vote in collective bargaining elections, then in a similar case, reversed itself on this point. The AF of L lost an important election, said Padway, to the 'pet baby.' He denied that the AF of L sought an advantage over the CIO through amendments to the Wagner Act

Proposed war referendum brings three witnesses to support people's vote on war. Washington, D.C., May 11. Retired Major General W.C. Rivers; Randolph Leigh, writers of McLean, Virginia, and Dr. Charles Tansill, Fordham professor and once professor at Washington's American University, who were supporting witnesses at a Senate Judiciary Subcommittee told hearings on a proposed war referendum amendment. General Rivers said that wars 'allowed him to pick up a few medals, but what does the average citizen...or the average town in this country get out of war? What besides...heavy taxes and... disabled men?' Dr. Tansill urged adoption of the amendment as a means of curbing the power of the President to make war, and charged that both Polk and Madison involved the U.S. 'deliberately' in two wars. He also charged that the late Col. Edward M. House, Wilson's Secretary, had led the President down the road to war.

House leader off the reservation. Rep. Edward T. Taylor, D. of Colo., and acting House majority leader for the 74th Congress created a furror on the Hill when he advocated a currency inflation method of paying off the soldiers bonus. This usual Administration stalwart is now throwing his support behind Rep. Wright Patman's plan. At the same time, Rep. Taylor declared that he was through acting as House Majority Leader unless supported by a direct cacus vote. These two decisions of the veteran threaten to disrupt House Democratic ranks even before the opening of the new session next month. Rep. Raylor is the dean of all Western Congressmen.
