Chrysler Sidetracks
Wage Talks Because
Of Foremen's Union
Firm Asks C. 1.0. to Pledge
New Body Won't Renew
Request for Contract
Bt the Associated Press.
DETROIT, Nov. 23.—Organization
of a C. I. O. foremen’s union com
plicated the dispute between Chrys
ler Corp. and the C. I. O. United
Automobile Workers today, despite
, the new union's withdrawal of its
demands for a collective bargaining
conference.
Discussion of wage schedules was
iidetracked for the second day as
representatives of the company and
U. A. W.-C I. O. met in a brief holi
day conference to thresh out the
problems raised by the new union.
The local union of the C. I. O.
United Foremen and Supervisors,
formed at the Dodge truck plant,
withdrew its bargaining demand
yesterday, after the corporation
charged its effect would be to place
the C. I. O. "on both sides of the
conference table” in settling employe
grievances.
Clarence Bolds, president of the
union, said the corporation charge
was a “complete misstatement.”
“Shop supervisory personnel has
not represented the management in
cofltsfctive bargaining in Chrysler and
other large industrial plants for 15
years or more,” Mr. Bolds said.
R. J. Thomas, president of the U.
A. W.-C. I. O., said the company
had asked the U. A. W.-C. I. O. to
I&mb tile JUlcmfll wouia not
renew their request for collective
bargaining at any time in the
future.
“My position was that the U. A.
W.-C. T. O. could not order the
foremen's union to take any action
of any kind." Mr. Thomas said. He
contended that the withdrawal of
the union's demand had removed
any reason for delaying wage dis
cussions "unless the corporation
wishes .to stall further on those
Issues.”
Until the question of the fore
men s union arose, the sole issue
blocking a settlement of the seven
week-old dispute was that of wages.
The U. A. W.-C. I. O. has asked
a general increase of 5 cents an hour
after originally asking 10 cents.

Claim for Closed Shop
By the Associated Press.
The National Labor Relations
Board ruled yesterday that the re
fusal of an employer to grant his em
ployes a closed shop while bargain
ing in good faith was not an unfair
labor practice under the Wagner
Act.
On the basis of this finding, the
board dismissed charges that the
Adams Brothers Sales Book Co.,
Topeka. Kans., had refused to bar
gain collectively with the Topeka
Typographical Union (A. F. of L.)
The board found that the com
pany bargained in good faith with
the union in 1938 until the union
called a strike because the employer
refused to agree to a demand for the
closed shop in the composing room.
“Since the respondent (company)
negotiated in good faith,” the board
said, “its failure to agree with the
union on all terms did not constitute
an unfair labor practice.”
The board also dismissed a charge
that the company discriminated
against employes because of their
union membership.
It found, however, that John
Adams, company president, and
Walter Fitts, composing room fore
man, had made "anti-union state
ments” which constituted interfer
ence with the'employes’ right to self
organization.
On this finding the board ordered
the company “to cease interfering”
With its employes’ right to organize.
Communicable Diseases
Discussed in Booklet
To help the public to a more
complete knowledge of "catching"
diseases, the Public Health Service
yesterday announce the issue of a
124-page booklet, under the title of
“Communicable Diseases.”
“If people understand the nature
of disease,” writes Dr. A. M. Stim
son. medical director. United States
Public Health Service, and author
of the book, “if they understand
■why certain control measures are
necessary, they will co-operate.”
“If people understand, thev will
obey reasonable rules and regula
tions. They will go to their doctors
when symptoms appear, and shun
the quack.”
The booklet, available at the Gov
ernment Printing Office for 25 cents,
is intended as a source of depend
able information primarily for stu
dents in high schools and junior
colleges, and discusses about 40 in
fectious diseases which are consid
ered “the most important for people
living in America at the present
time to know something about.”

Kuhn's'Golden Angel'
Will Be Called to
Witness Stand
Not 'a Very Fine Lady/
Bund Fuehrer Tells
Court at Trial
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 23.—The pro
ceedings in Fritz Kuhn's larceny
trial were pointed sharply today
toward the witness stand appearance
of Mrs. Florence Camp, one-time
| "golden angel" of the bundfuehrer's
transcontinental correspondence, but
now considerably fallen from his
grace.
“I thought Mrs. Camp was a very
fine lady, but I found out she isn't,"
Kuhn remorsefully admitted yester
day after the prosecution had read
into the records three of Kuhn's
letters to her studded with protesta
tions of undying love.
That renunciation of the blond
divorcee capped a double recanta
tion by the red-faced bundfuehrer—
an admission that he had lied to
Mrs. Camp in 1938 by telling her
he had divorced his wife in 1934
(he's still married) and an admis
sion that he lied wrhen he testified
yesterday morning that he never
had told Mrs. Camp he was divorced.
The State has announced Mrs.
Camp will be called, as a rebuttal
witness against Kuhn, who is ac
cused of stealing money from his
German-American Bund.
The appearance of the letters ob
viously was the cause of Kuhn's
turn against the woman he said he
loved "with my whole soul and
body.” When Assistant District At
torney Herman McCarthy asked
! when Kuhn found out Mrs. Camp
isn’t a "very fine lady," the bund
leader replied:
"I found out right now."
He had lied, he said, to shield Mrs.
Camp, as well as himself.

nekds In any national health pro
gram.
Jess/s Jones of Houston, Tex., has
been chairman of the Reconstruc
tion Finance Corp. since President
Roosevelt took office.
In spreading better health care
throughout the Nation through the
use of Federal funds the States
should not necessarily be required
to match such funds as they do in
the building of public roads, Dr. Vest
declared.
Instead Congress should appro
priate sufficient funds to "an agency
analogous to the Reconstruction
Finance Corp. or the United States
Public Health Service” for alloca
tion to -the States, with or without
matching, for the rebuilding of
health, he added.
Dr. Vest criticized sharply the
activities of the Department of
Justice in its present court battle
in which it contends that medical
practice is a trade, not a profession,
and has been carried on in violation
of the Sherman anti-trust law.
“Unquestionably medicine is a
profession, certain widely publicized
statements from politicians sojourn
ing on the Potomac to the contrary
notwithstanding,” he declared.
Dr. Vest said a national health
program such as the one embodied
in the Wagner bill now before Con
gress must be an “evolutionary, not
revolutionary” one.
