WASHINGTON
SNAPSHOTS
With the ever mounting clamor
throughout the country for amend
ment of the Wagner Act, the Na
tional Labor Relations Board which
operates under the act is being hard
put these days to maintain its op
position to such amendments. Co
partner with the Congress of In
dustrial Organization in opposition
to proposed amendments, now be
ing demanded by not only a large
segment of organized labor itself,
but business and the public as well,
the N.R.L.B is struggling to regain
a position of good graces in the
people's eyes.
Washington observers read with
tongues in cheeks a recent report of
the activities ef the regional office
of the N. L. R. B. comprising New
York. New Jersey and Connecticut—
one of the most important sectors of
the Board's work. The report cov
ered the period from 1935 through
last year, and sought to temper the
public’s attitude toward the activi
ties in that period.
In addition, opponents of amend
ments of the Wagner Act have been
sorely disappointed that the outlaw
ing of sitdown strikes by the Su
preme Court did not silpnoe public
demands for revisions in the Act.
They had hoped that the decision I
would put a c^uetus on demands for
amendment but instead have, found
the public s reaction to be one of a j
contirued demand for permanent j
legislation revising the act to elim
inate its onesidedness the National and charges Labor j
of “bias" within
Relations Board.
Members of Congress are begin
mng to find this sentiment reflect
ed in mail from the folks back
home, especially from a large sec
tion of the farm population. While
farming was specifically exempted
from the operations of the Wagner
Act. numerous administrative rul
ings by the National Labor Rela
tions Board have caused many en
gaged in various farming activities
to feel the pinch of the law imposed
upon them.

Two Georgia girls spoke and ap
peared over the first television
demonstration ever presented in
Washington Tuesday. Rosalyn
Brown, ten year old daughter of
Representative and Mrs. Paul
Brown of the 10th Georgia district,
and Mrs. M. J. Tarver, Jr., daugh
ter-in-law of Representative and
Mrs. Malcolm J. Tarver of the 7th
district, were honored by the Radio
CorporatiSn of America when they
were seen and heard over the air
waves at the introductory presenta
tion of television in the Capitol by
the first telemobile unit in America
The unit, operated from a truck,
was carried to different parts of
Washington, where various persons
appeared before the “mike” and at
the' same time pictures of the
scenes were transmitted through
the air to television receivers at
the National Press Club.
Representative"* Brown, at the
Press Club receiving station, who
wag unaware that his little daugh
ter was at the broadcasting loca
tion. said he was overcome with
surprise when he saw her picture
moving before him and heard her
answer the questions of the inter
viewer for five minutes.
"It was one of the most remark
able e .penances of my life,” Mt
B rown declared. "Imagine going up
to inspect a new and mysterious
invention and seeing my own little
girl and hearing her talk!”
Rosalyn introduced her cousin,
Hazel Hardin, of Forsyth, who is
attending school at Arlington Hall,
to the television audience.
Young Mrs. Tarver also responded
to questions and won applause from
the audience with her Georgia ac
cent. Formerly Miss Eldredge Grove
of Atlanta, she married Malcolm J
Tarver, Jr., last year, who is secre
tary to his father. Representative
Tarver.
That John L. Lewis, head of the
C. I. O., i s planning to control the
delegates to the Democratic Na
tional Convention in 1940 was
charged last week by William Green,
president of the American Federa
tion of Labor. The accusation had
foundation in the announcement
of the Non-Partisan League that a
convention would be held early this
year with the view of beginning a
nationwide campaign to select dem
ocratic convention delegates.

problem resulted. As printed, the
resolution called for
of a $10,000,000,000 government air
craft manufacturing plant — at a
cost of only $10,000,000.
The $10,000 000 000 figure ap
peared in the preamble but in the
body of the resolution the govern
ment printing office left off three
of the “O's.”
Delegate Samuel King, of Hawaii,
recently entertained members of the
House Territories Committee at a
luncheon. The unique menu read;
Na hua maoli okioki, ka wai o ka
hala-kahiki, ka aku mikomiko, ka i’o
koala, ka uala kahiki—poi—ke halo
palai, na mea onoono, palaoa owlli,
kipe o kona, na hua paskiki.
In other words, the guests ate:
native fruit cocktail, pineapple
juice, tuna salad, broiled meat, Ir
ish potatoes, poi, fried taro, relishes,
rolls, coffee, nuts.
Sidelight: Washington probably
has more private parties per week
than any city of its size in the Unit
ed States. The reason is that al
most the entire adult population is
on the Federal payroll and the work
day is the same for everybody—9 A.
M. to 4:30 P M. Every night, thous
ands gather for parties in apart
ments and private homes.
At. one party recently, several
young lawyers employed in various
government agencies, participated.
They suggested and played a new
kind of game. The game was a mock
trial with “Miss Democracy” on
trial.
The climax came when the de
r en dant was “beheaded.”

When the Chicago man slapped
his wife he started something.
Young and attractive. Mrs. Mary
Kuhar, Jr., promptly went to court
for a divorce. Judge Philip Finne
gan rejected her plea declaring that
a husband has a perfect right to
slap his wife and further declaimed
"If more wives were slapped, there
would be fewer divorces.” A poll
was taken among Washington at
torneys to see what they thought of
the Judge's verdict with no definite
decision reached. Miss Laura Ber
