The National Labor Relations Board ruled 4 to 1 that top AFL and CIO officers are not required by Taft Hartley to sign non Communist affidavits. Denham's view was overridden as the board limits affidavits to individual union officers and locals. The ruling broadens NLRB authority on elections but not on unfair labor practice charges.
