Slowdowns on New York waterfront continue amid injunction
On the New York waterfront slowdowns persisted despite a federal court order extending the Taft Hartley ban to 80 days. The Cunard liner Queen Mary sailed with most outbound cargo undelivered and the Roma arrived late but with all cargo aboard. ILA members limited operations while port activity fell to 50 60 percent of normal, prompting officials to call it a partial strike. The injunction remains in force to deter renewed walks affecting military and atomic programs.

Curb On Probes By Congress Questioned In Supreme Court
Washington The Supreme Court was asked to limit congressional investigations as John T. Watkins of Rockford Illinois appeals a contempt conviction before the House Un American Activities Committee. Watkins, an ex UAW organizer, argued probes must serve a legislative purpose and not mere exposure for public scorn. He testified in 1954 that he would not expose past associates no longer with Communism. He admitted cooperation with Communists a decade earlier but denied being a Communist. The committee says its inquiries have a legislative aim. The conviction was imposed in District Court with a 500 dollar fine and one year suspended sentence. A three judge panel initially reversed, but the full Appeals Court reinstated the ruling.
