has accepted the peace terms. The
break in the Arab front against
the new Jewish State seemed to
forecast peace between Israel and
the other states of the Middle
Blast.
The accord is a triumph for the
United Nations, which forced an
end to fighting in which the Jews
■ had won victory after victory in
the David and Goliath combat.
Strife continued in China. A
Group of Chinese lawmakers
threatened to unseat Premier Sun
For because he and his cabinet
fled last month to Canton. The
legislators want to look into fi
nancial deals. No progress was in
sight in the peace sparring be
tween the Chinese communists
and the nationalist forces they
have beaten in battle. The com
munists moved nine ministries to
Peiping, their new capital in
North China.
Another government crisis boil
ed in Finland. A strange combine
of rightist farmers and commun
ists continued their fight to oust
Premier Karl A. Fagerholm. The
* farmers want higher prices for
their products and lower taxes.
The communists want more Fin
nish love for Moscow.
A communist deputy in Czecho
slovakia said at least 28 generals
plotted to overthrow the Red gov
ernment of that country. The at
i
tack seemed a prelude to a new
purge of suspected reserve offi
cers.
Western church officials in Ge
neva said the throttling of church
influence in the Russian-domin
ated countries is so rigid, careful
ly planned and executed, it ap
pears to have been dictated by a
central authority, possibly the
cominform.
The life sentence given Josef
Cardinal Mindszenty in Hungary
and the forthcoming trial of 151
Protestant church leaders in Bul
garia are the most spectacular de
velopments. Western churchmen
said hundreds of church officials
and ministers are in prison or en
forced retirement; that Christian j
churches are being forced under
State sponsorship; and that rela
tions with foreign churches are
being broken.

The Senate rejected by a vote of
10 to 0 a House-passed measure to
establish a Territorial apprentice
training program under a special
deputy commission of labor.
It was supported by Sens. Anita
Garnick, Republican, and Frank
Peratrovich, Ed Anderson, Walter
Huntley, R. M. MacKenzie and
Steve McCutcheon, Democrats.
The lone “no” vote on the old
age pension measure was cast by
Sen. William Munz, Nome Repub
lican. The bill now returns to the
House for action on Senate
changes.
For the first time during the
regular session the House also was
in a rejecting mood. The initial
turndown on legislation there
came on a bill by Hep. Frank L.
Johnson, Nome Republican, pro
hibiting the sale of sidearms to mi
nors. The vote was 12 to 11
against.
But Rep. Clarence T. Keating,
Third Division Democrat, moved
for reconsideration of the bill
Wednesday with the avowed in
tent of making it acceptable.
By a vote of 14 to 8 the House
approved bill by Rep. Jack Con
right, Third Division Democrat,
prohibiting the appointment of
legislators to board of commiis
sions, or election board member',
to the legislature unless they re
sign their posts.
An amendment by Rep. George
Miscovich, Fairbanks Republican,
failed for lack of a second, it
would have included the governor
along with legislators as ineligible
for membership on boards. The
governor is an ex officio member
of many such groups.
The House failed to reach lgree
ment on a bill to eliminate cross
party voting and will continue de
bate Wednesday.

JUNEAU, {£>)—'The Alaska leg
islature observed Washington’s
Birthday holiday yesterday but
the House prepared to make up
for it with its second night session
tonight.
The House will return to con
sideration of eliminating cross
over voting from the blanket pri
mary ballot. A final vote had been
postponed after prolonged debate
Monday.
The Senate will take up routine
bills today.
In final arguments before ad
journment over the hoi i d a y ,
House speaker Stanley McCutch
eon argued the blanket primary
ballot listing all parties and can
didates together brought a “jum
bled mess which the voters never
desired.” He said what they want
e<rby referendum mandate was
elimination of the necessity of de
claring their party in asking for
a primary ballot, and what they
got is virtually abolition of the
two-party system.
Rep. Percy E. Ipalook, Eskimo
missionary, said he feared that if
his people were told they must
vote a straight party ticket in the
primary it would be difficult to
educate tlwm to the freedom of the
general election ballot.
Leading bills on a long House

NLRB Charges
Taft-Hartley Law
Creates Friction
(Contined from Page One)
Taft-Hartley law has ‘positively
discouraged” collective bargain
ing.
Van Arkel quit as NLRB coun
sel in 1947 in protest against the
T-H law. He was succeeded by
Robert N. Denham, and it was to
relations between the board and
Denham that Herzog referred.
However, Herzog was talking
not of personalities but what he
regarded as inevitable difficulties
stemming from separation of the
powers of the board and the coun
sel under the T-H measure.
Under the law, the counsel and
the board have separate powers.
The counsel is, in effect, the
chief prosecuting officer for the
law.
Following the hearings, which
are due to end today, the commit
tee’s 8-5 Democratic majority is
expected to approve—with per
haps minor changes—a bill em
bodying President Trumans labor
proposals.
Chairman Elbert Thomas (D.
U‘.ah>, sponsor of the administra
tion bill, appealed to the commit
tee’s Republicans late Monday to
exercise “good will” and help
speed the measure to the floor
even if they oppose it later in the
Senate debate.
