Labor Board Charged With Hiring Slant WASHINGTON (AP) The National Labor Relations Board is being charged by some of its lawyers with the same sort of violations the agency enforces against private employers. In an unfair labor practices complaint filed with the Labor Department earlier this week and made public Friday, the NLRB Professional Association said board officials improperly imposed a requirement that all new employes pledge to work for the agency for at least three years. The association is the collective-bargaining agent for the approximately 175 non-supervisory attorneys employed by the NLRB hi Washington. The lawyers asserted in their complaint that the board's actions violated labor-management regulations governing federal employes by failing to bargain with a recognized employe representative, unilaterally changing working conditions and negotiating individually with employes. The employe group asked the Labor Department to order NLRB officials to rescind the hiring commitments that have been obtained since the three- year pledge went into effect last March.

Labor Department officials also were asked in the complaint to require the NLRB to negotiate with the lawyers' association. An association spokesman said the charges, "although brought under an executive order, are virtually identical to charges which a union might bring against a private employer" under the National Labor Relations Act. The NLRB is responsible for enforcing that act. "The board isn't above the law," said association president Ruth Peters. "Because it en- 'orces the federal labor law, its conduct with its own employes should be above reproach." NLRB officials have 20 days to file a response to the com- jlaint.

John C. Miller, who as solicitor is in charge of the agency's labor relations, could not be reached for comment. Suicide Rate For Children Continues Gain BELMONT, (AP) lie rate of suicide among chil- ren in their grammar school years, generally thought of as a person's most carefree and happy times, is increasing at an alarming rate, a Boston area child psychiatrist says. Why do children from 6 to 11 want to take their own lives? "The most obvious reason they do it is the same as for an adult to get back at someone," said.Dr. Peter Saltzman, director of McLean Hospital's Children's Center.

"They do it to call attention to a very desperate situation, usually to a loss of a loved one." Saltzman, 37, who specializes in treating youngsters who at- 'empt suicide, said the most frequent occasion for a child- Mod suicide attempt is a death in the family or a separation or an argument with a loved one. One signal of possible suicide a young child, Saltzman said, is depression, an ailment psychiatry did not recognize in children until about 10 years ago. Depression in children, he said, can show as hyperactivity, a failure to make friends, poor school performance and lypochondria. Among 10-and ll-year-olds it might show up as delinquency, vandalism and lighting. The increasing rate of divorce and separation and emotional disorders such as alcoholism and depression among parents also affect young children's behavior, Saltzman said.

we've come a long way rom thinking it's all the parents' fault. What we're trying to igure out is to what degree is the child predisposed to depr- esssion," he said. Saltzman said that a recent clinical study he did based on us own experience and that of lis colleagues showed that ibout 75 suicides of preadolescents were officially reported in 1973, the last year his tudy covered. That figure ould be compared to a total of hree in 1958, he said. Among the general popu- ation, the number of suicides ncreased from 18,500 in 1958 to about 25,000 in 1973.

In 1974, the ast year for which such stalis- ics were available, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that 25,683 Americans illed themselves. The official figures for suicide mong pre-adolescent children, saltzman said, don't begin to ell the story. Bereaved families are often nore concerned about con- ealing a child's suicide than an dult's. And many suicides of hildren such as death by rowning or automobile acci- ent arc classified as acci- ental deaths.
