Truman, Taft Clash Over Denham's Job
Washington. May 11—(U.P.)—President Truman's proposal to abolish Robert N. Denham's job as NLRB general counsel goes to a senate vote today with opponents confident of victory. Sen. Robert A. Taft, (Ohio Republican) leader of the opposition, said he has "little or no doubt" that his side will get a "clear-cut majority."
Administration forces, conceding that the vote will be close, said there was a "good chance of upsetting Taft and letting the plan go through". The president's proposal, whi:h would become effective May 23 unless vetored by the house or senate would abolish Denham's job and transfer his functions to the National Labor Relations board.
The post of independent counsel was created by the Taft-Hartley law which Taft co-sponsored. Denham and the board have engaged in an angry dispute over the division of authority.
the senate, by a 50 to 22 vote, laid aside the administration's fair employment practices/ bill yesterday to take up Taft's proposal to kill the NLRB plan. With a strict limitation on debate, a final decision was scheduled for late afternoon.
Taft contended that the president's reorganization order is a "clear attempt" to by-pass the will of congress. He pointed out that the issue was specifically considered during Taft-Hartley debate and that both houses voted for an independent general counsel.
Aboard Truman train, President Truman made a last minute appeal today for elimination of Robert N. Denham's job as independent chief counsel for the national labor relations board.
"No group of men could efficiently operate the two-headed freak which the organization of the labor board now represents. The history of this matter leads me to believe that most of the opponents of plan 12 are more concerned with politics than with the merits of the proposal."
The president pleaded for defeat of Taft's resolution in a telegram dispatched from his special train to vice-president Alben W. Barkley. In his telegram, the president said, "The issues now involved in consideration of plan 12 are not matters of personalities neither do they go to the substance of the controversy over the Taft-Hartley act, as opponents of plan 12 have attempted to argue."
