Launches Test Case Against CIO WASHINGTON. Feb. 9 0J.fi The Justice Department's investigation of charges that the CIO violated the Taft-Hartley ban on union political activity reached the grand jury stage today. Two Justice Department lawyers, Jesse Climenko and Turner Smith, were slated to go before a federal grand jury here to launch an inquiry into the CIO's activities on behalf of Representative Edward A. Garmatz, in a Baltimore election last summer.

It was the government's first move against a labor union since the controversial Taft-Hartley Labor Act went on the books last year. Under the law, a labor union is forbidden to make an expenditure, direct or indirect, on behalf of a candidate for federal office. Unions violating this provision are liable to a $5,000 fine and its responsible officers to a maximum penalty of fine and a year in prison. Labor lawyers contend this is a direct violation of their constitutional rights. In the Garmatz campaign, the CIO flooded the Baltimore area with copies of the "CIO News" which carried a front-page endorsement of the Maryland Democrat by CIO President Philip Murray.

The CIO acknowledged at the time that this constituted a technical violation of the law, and the Justice De Legion Committee To Name Officers William Scully, commander of Chesney-Wydila Post 231, American Legion, Kulpmont, today announced members of the post's remodeling committee will name officers during a committee meeting Wednesday evening in post headquarters, beginning at 7:00.

Several sub-committees will be named, also, the post commander pointed out. Members of the committee are: Joseph Arnoldin, Jr. chairman, Attorney Sanford Marateck, Steven Wat-ral, Nicholas Thomas and Anthony Matuiaitis.

The remodeling committee will discuss plans for a general renovation program during Wednesday's session, also, Scully said. St. Casimir Boys' Team Wins, 29-24 St.
