FRIDAY. DECEMBER 10. 1954 (10 Hits Business On iiititrust Drive LOS ANGELES, Dec. 9 (JP)—The ClO's chief attorney said today an "unreconstructed" group of employers is pressing a drive to "cripple" labor unions by bringing them under the antitrust laws. • Arthur J. Goldberg, CIO general counsel, told a law conference held in connection with- the CIO convention, that applying antitrust laws to labor unions was designed to "destroy or weaken" them,and to break up national unions, and industry-wide bargaining. Conference Attended The conference was attended by both employer and union attor neys, law school professors and labor arbitrators. Goldberg said an advisory com mittee named by Atty. Gen. Brownell is studying possible re vision of the antitrust laws in cluding a proposal to remove a present labor union exemption. "Those who are pushing down this road and who I fear will push much harder in the months to come," . Goldberg said, "are not employer representatives who genuinely subscribe to a desire for satisfactory relations with unions, but the same unreconstructed fringe which basically regards all unions as evil and wishes to return to conditions which existed in the 19205." Canadians Sell Whiskey To Tr tops -WIESBADEN, Germany (2P)— An American liquor executive told a congressional subcommittee to day that Canadians sell 64 per cent of all whiskey • bought by U.S. troops in Europe. The Army's European head quarters in Heidenberg said it sold eight million dollars worth of hard liquor last year, yielding a profit of 5 1 / 2 million for the troops' welfare fund. The Army disputed the claim that 64 per cent was Canadian whiskey. It told reporters annual sales were 43 per cent American whiskey, 42 per cent Canadian and 15 per cent Scotch. Walter Kemp, European sales manager of Publicker Industries, Inc., Philadelphia, said in a state men' to the House Armed Serv ices subcommittee o n Defense Activities: "My people (Publicker's) told me that we had little difficulty getting our reasonable proportion of the market in all overseas mili tary establishments throughout th -. world with the exception of US."_REUR (U.S. Army in Eur ope). "Here, they told me, a strange situation exists. "Canadian whiskies -sell 4.1 per cent of the entire American do mestic market. My people have reports that, in USAREUR, Can adian whiskey sells over, 50 per cent of all liquor sold. "That is a big difference-4.1 per cent of all sales at home, 64 per cent of all sales in USAREUR. and USAREUR is also under the American flag." GOP Men Baffle For Moor Leader HARRISBURG, Dec. 9 .

College Ave. Previous Legislation Goldberg said previous unsuc cessful legislation seeking to ap ply antitrust laws to unions has not been aimed at barring unions and employers from cooperating to the public's disadvantage. He said the proposals have always sought privately to "destroy ,or limit the economic power of un ions to deal with management." Convention delegates approved a resolution asking Congress to in vestigate the "present and pros pective impact of technological developments on our economy." It said that automatic machines and new production techniques are displacing workers at a rapid. rate. "The facts allow no room for the illusion that expansion of em ployment in the manufacture of the revolutionary machines will compensate to any substantial de gree for contraction of employ ment in industries using them," this resolution said. Surprise Coalition Weakens Aclenauer MUNICH, Germany, Dec. 9 (IF) —Chancellor Konrad Adenauer's firm hold on the Bonn Parlia ment's upper house was shaken today in one of the biggest domes tic setbacks he has suffered this year. The antirearmament Socialists and three Right Wing parties an nounced a decision to' form the unprecedented state coalition which would end Adenauer's eight-year control of the Bavarian state government. The surprise move seemed vir tually certain to deprive Adenauer of his two-thirds majority in the Bonn Bundesrat upp e r house, since the new state government will appoint its six representa tives in the federal body. If Adenauer loses his two-thirds majority in the Bundesrat it would pose a serious threat to im plementation of the Paris treaties on German rearmament.

Hunters Find Hidden Pennies LEWISTOWN, Pa., (VP) This central Pennsylvania community today buzzed with accounts of a robbery—a train robbery that took plabe more than 45 years ago. The talk started yesterday when three deer hunters reported they accidentally stumbled across what might be part of the loot taken from a" Pennsylvania Railroad train near here in an early-morn ing holdup in 1909. The uncovered "loot" consists of about 3700 Lincoln head pennies which old-timers say - the train robber mistook for pieces of gold. Police said about a million dol lars in gold bullion was being carried on the train from Wash ington to Cincinnati when it was dynamited to a stop. The gunman, however, got into the wrong car and ended up with several sacks of pennies. Leaders of the Christian Social Union, which is the Bavarian ally of Adenauer's Christian Demo cratic party, said there still was a possibility, however, that the new coalition would fall apart in trying to agree on apportionment of seats in the state Cabinet, thus opening the way to new negotia tions with the Adenauer party. Observers pointed out, too, that unlike those from the other Ger man states Bavaria's senators in the Bundesrat are not bound by instructions so that some of them might still vote for rearmament. This upset in strongly Catholic Bavaria, which has been a heavy supporter of the predominately Catholic Christian Democrats, oc curred as the Bonn goVernment and Allied diplomats were be coming alarmed by a mounting hostility to rearmament in West Germany.
