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."

Crawford) and James J. Berger

lican state chairman, postponed

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.

Hatoyma Elected
Japanese Premier;
Pledges Elections
TOKYO, Friday, Dec. 10 (11")--
Ichiro Hatoyama,. a pro-U.S. con
servative, yesterday was named
r - ime minister but MS Socialist
supporters for^ed . from him a
pledge of new elections which
they expect to win:
The Socialists, who oppose U.S.
bases, in Japan, rearmament, and
Japan's pro-West foreign policy,
obtained as a price of their sup
port a promise 4- hat he would dis
solve the Diet and call new ele&
•tions by March 10.
Sobialists then joined Hatoya
ma's Democrats in the low e r
house and gave him a 257. to 191
victory over Taketora Ogata, pres
ident of - former Prime Minister
Shigeru Yoshida's Liberal cOn
servative party. The only• Com
munist in th ehouse abstained.-
Yoshida who steered Japan
through s even trying postwar
years by aligning itclosely with
the United States, resigned Thurs
day before the r ocialist-Demo
crat coalition could pass a no-con
fidence motion.
The switch in prime ministers
promised little immediate change
in .'apanese foreign policy. Hato
yama says Japan must maintain
her place- among free nations.
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.

Northern Dublin
DUBLIN, Ireland, Dec. 9 (W)—Flood waters surged through al
most all the low-lying northern area of Dublin today, trapping

Ice, sleet and snow added to the
misery. Shipping was hard hit

Pope Pius
in Improved
Condition
VATICAN CITY, Dec. 9 (A)—
Medical experts announced to
night Pope Pius XII is gaining
strength, his hiccups have ceased
and his general condition has im
proved perceptibly.
The 78-year-old pontiff under
went a two-hour examination—
his second in a week of grave ill
ness that brought fears for his
life—by three specialists and his
personal physician, Dr. Riccardo
Galeazzi-Lisi.
"As foreseen, the state of health
of the Holy Father has improved
perceptively and progressively in.
the last few days," the doctors'
bulletin said.
"Disturbances have disappear
ed, among them the hiccups, and
it was possible gradually to re
sume direct feeding, which has
permitted a satisfactory recovery
of strength.
"Restful sleep, in part, has re
ti.rned. The conditions of the
cardial-circulatory an d respira
tory systems remain good, as well
as the blood condition.
"The abdomen is normal every
where and is no longer painful in
its right superior quadrant. This
pain, together with the sudden
painful tension of the abdomen,
ha d caused serious preoccupa
tions."
Mail-Stealing P-ostman
Gets 8-Month Sentence
BAYFONNE, France, Dec. 9 (IP)
—A court sentenced Paul Fayet,
52, a postman, to eight months in
prison toda - r after finding that:
For 10 years he had taken five
letters a day from his bag of
mail. He picked them at ran
dom. The ones he found interest
ing he kept. The others he tore
up in little pieces.
Motive? Not blackmail, not
money, said the judge. Just plain
curiosity.
Does he belong
to you?
He is a handsome young man
going places. If he is your
room-mate brother, or some
one special, give him the gift
he'll keep with him, use, and
deeply appreciate. Every man
needs a camera.
