Byrnes, Blum Assailed In Cominform's Third Bulletin in Belgrade By tht Associated Press BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Dec. 19. —More than two-thirds of the third Cominform bulletin nov( off the press is devoted to reports on the activities of the Communist Parties In Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania. The bulletin, containing texts of reports given at the nine-nation Communist conference in Poland last September which organized the Cominform (Communist Informa tion Bureau! in Belgrade, listed the claimed strength of the parties, noted their activities and explained their foreign policy and a history of their development. The bulletin carried a strong at tack against the French Socialist leader, Leon Blum, and criticized former Secretary of State Byrnes. Byrnes Book Assailed. The Communist report dealt spe cifically with Mr. Byrnes’ recently published book, "Speaking Frankly," and said he had used stenographic notes instead of giving an "analysis ind picture of his country’s foreign policy.” The bulletin also declared that 237,384 new members had been ac pepted into the Communist Party )f Czechoslovakia in 1947. Its two main front-page articles were general commentaries. One was on "the struggle of the French people for freedom and independ ;pce.” The other outlined the jrowth of Communist movements in Europe, particularly in France and Italy. The latter article carried the reading, "Forces of Democratic Jamp Are Gaining Strength.” Guerrillas Get Contributions. The only actual news item ap pearing in the bulletin was a report ;hat the chairman of the Romanian rrade Union Committee had an lounced that “the working people >f Romania have resolved to con iribute two hours’ in earnings in mpport of the Greek people” meaning the Communist-led Greek fuerrillas). It was announced that 15 tons of lommodities, provisions and clotti ng already had been sent to Greece md another 60 tons was ready for ihipment. faurog Wins Child's Care LOS ANGELES, Dec. 19 (>P).— Norman Taurog, film director and producer, was granted the guardian !hip of his daughter, Patricia, 15. rhe child's mother, Julie Taurog, :he film executive's divorced wife, sobbed as the court handed down ;he order.

Views on Affidavits Amplified by Denham In Letter to Pressman By the Associated Press NEW YORK Dec. 19.—Employers of workers whose unions have re fused to sign non-Communist affi davits yesterday received amplifica tion of the views of Robert N. Den ham, National Labor Relations Board general counsel, on the work ing of the Taft-Hartley Act. Mr. Denham, in a letter to Lee Pressman, CIO general counsel, de clared that under the law, Reming ton Rand, Inc., could enter into a work contract with the CIO United Electrical Workers, but said that if the contract included "a union se curity provision they will do so at their peril.” Commenting two weeks ago on the action of NLRB regional boards in dismissing a Remington Rand petition for certification elections at seven of its plants, Mr. Denham was quoted by the Associated Press as declaring that the company could enter into a contract with the elec trical workers only "at its own peril.” Officials of the union have not signed non-Communist affidavits re quired by the Taft-Hartley law. In his letter to Mr. Pressman, the NLRB official said his comment at that time "was substantially to the effect that the act does not prevent Remington Rand from entering into any contract they may desire to with the electrical workers, but if they Incorporate a union security provi; sion, they will do so at their peril, md, of course, the closed shop con tract is specifically forbidden by the law.” Text of the letter was made pub lic by the union. The petition’s dismissal was con strued at the time as advising the company it need no longer recognize the union af» bargaining agent. It was followed by a company an nouncement withdrawing recogni tion of the union. Denham Assailed. In Buffalo last night, Albert J. Fitzgerald, the union’s president, declared at a CIO meeting: "We know that General Counsel Denham was not misquoted by the newspapers. We know he made that statement to the Associated Press. We know where he was when he made it. When the newspapers went searching for him two weeks ago. they found him properly where he belonged—at a meeting in New York City of the National Associa tion of Manufacturers." Mr. Fitzgerald said that only unions desiring to use the services of NLRB need comply fully with all provisions of the Taft-Hartlev Act and added: "Any time any labor union desires to go before the board, it only de sires to have its throat cut.” Disappearance of Youths In Reich Probed by U. S. Sy the Associated Press BERLIN, Dec. 19.—Maj. Gen. George P. Hays, deputy United States military governor for Ger many. said yesterday an investiga tion was being made in the Ameri can occupation zone of Catholic bishops’ allegations that 2,000 youths have disappeared in Ger many since the war.
