China seeks UNRRA funds sale on black market plan
Washington reports that Chiang Kai-shek and Premier Soong asked US approval to sell 200 million of UNRRA supplies in China's black market to raise cash. If allowed, China could gain nearly 500 million, though UNRRA rules restrict aid to relief and rehabilitation and oppose diverting funds to war effort. UNRRA officials view the move as alarming and contrary to aid principles during their Nanking visit with Edgerton.

Labor Board Affirms Striker Replacements Under Wagner Act
Washington AP The National Labor Relations Board issued a fresh notice on Tuesday that economic strikers who protest wages and conditions can be replaced without violating the Wagner Act. In a St. Petersburg Florida case the board also held that a union that does not bargain cannot charge the employer with failing to negotiate in good faith. The ruling echoes prior policy and aims to address criticism that the Wagner Act favors unions. It notes that replacements could include up to 400,000 miners if repeated strikes occur. The decision assumes operators could face serious consequences if the strikes stem from unfair labor practices. Continued coverage on Page a Col. 5.
