Judge Barred in Durocher Affair from Ruling on Divorce
HOLLYWOOD (UP) Superior Judge Edward T. Bishop disqualified Superior Judge George A. Dockweiler from ruling on a move to vacate Laraine Day's California divorce. Bishop said Dockweiler appears prejudiced and could not render a fair decision. The ruling followed a charge of prejudice by Day and arose after Dockweiler ordered show cause why Day's decree should not be voided for alleged collusion to clear her marriage to Brooklyn Dodgers manager Leo Durocher. Day obtained a Mexican divorce after the California decree. Her attorney, Isaac Pacht, claimed Dockweiler previously decided to void the California decree. Scott argued Day obtained the divorce by collusion, criticizing Durocher’s long-distance chat. Durocher called Dockweiler egotistical and publicity-seeking after the rehearing decision. A committee of attorneys is studying possible contempt charges.

NLRB Allows Replacing Striking Typographers in 1946 Case
The board ruled employers were within rights to replace over 60 members of the AFL International Typographical Union during a 1946 strike. It found St. Petersburg Times editor Nelson Poynter did not violate the Wagner Act by telling strikers he would reinstate them before replacements. The decision noted unions had ended negotiations but employers offered strikers’ jobs again to prevent displacement and support productive bargaining.

Atom Secrets Now Hard To Keep

The Bulletin editorial notes leaks arise from the belief that no fact unrelated to the bomb should wait declassification.
