For the Record

The International Association of Machinists became the first union to act on the so-called “Fifth Amendment” policy adopted by the AFL-CIO Ethical Practices Committee last February. The IAM fired three union organizers who invoked the Fifth Amendment last week in a congressional hearing on their Communist affiliations….Two days after the Supreme Court ruling on the Jencks case, the Communist Party formally demanded that reports on the FBI be made available to it in order to fight the Subversive Activities Control Board ruling that the Party is Moscow-controlled…. The International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers, a notoriously Leftist union, also has asked for a look at FBI files.

The Natural Gas bill is given a slightly better chance of passage since President Eisenhower recommended its enactment even without two industry-opposed Administration amendments….Minimum wage extension, the school construction bill and labor reform laws are considered for this session….The House Banking Committee will not call hearings this year on proposals for federal aid to economically depressed areas.
