NLRB powers labeled a failure and plan for change
Washington reports the National Labor Relations Board calls its division of powers with general counsel Robert Denham a failure and urges abolishing Denham's separate authority. NLRB Chairman Paul Herzog backs President Truman's reorganization plan to place Denham under the board, saying current power division causes friction and uncertainty. Taft opposes the plan, warning it would make Herzog the most powerful labor official. Herzog argues the plan would shift investigatory and regulatory functions to the five-member board rather than the chairman.
