Nov. (Special.) -Representative Mary Norton of Jersey City, chairman of the powerful house labor committee, today sounded the first note in the storm of protest against the present setup of the national labor relations board expected at the comsession of Mrs. Norton discuss congressin the subject with Senator Wagner when the session convenes and if the force of public opinion is such that the national labor relations act needs amending, we will attempt to do just that." The Jersey congresswoman, who successfully led last session's bitter wages and hours war, added, "I do think that the law itself is a good one and it should not be sacrificed if one part is not functioning smoothly." Barrage of Questions. She admitted that changes in the present -up of the NLRB were the most-discussed subjects of her recent campaign, and that she had had to answer more questions about her attitude in regard to the law than all other subjects combined. The likelihood of amending the act appears to be more certain at this time than ever before, Mrs.

Norton said, pointing out that when Senator Wagner, author of the act, started his recent campaign he said flatly that the act would not be changed, but during the last week of the campaign had been quoted as stating that if changes or amendments were necessary they would be made. It is known that as far back as last session of congress a score or more amendments to the act were in process of preparation by various congressmen. Federation Is Force. Mrs. Norton admits that a prime force against the act is the American Federation of Labor, which has kept up a constant barrage of criticism, claiming that the NLRB is more favorable to the C.

I. O. thahet, the too, A. the F. latest of L.

appointment to the board, Donald Wakefield Smith, was made over, the protest of the A. F. of L. command, and with the blessing of C. I.

John L. Lewis. This has done more to increase the bitterness between labor's two camps and A. F. of antagonism toward the NLRB, than probably any single decision by the commission.

Mrs. Norton, in addition to being chairman of the labor committee, is in a peculiarly strategic position to lead the opposition, as an individual representative of her district, or to defend the present act, as chairman of the labor body. the representative from Jersey. City, she speaks for that city's chamber of commerce which, this week, sent petitions demanding absolute repeal of the entire act and abolishment of the board, to every member of the house and senate, as well as to the President.

ATHENS, Greece, Nov. understand from a well informed source that the Greek government the other day issued an order to the newspapers that they were not to publish any further news regarding the anti-Semitic activities in Germany unless it came from German sources. This action, I am further told, came after the German minister had made representations to the Greek foreign office. The enforcement of this order would mean, of course, that the Greek press wouldn't publish anything that the German government didn't like, since the nazi authorities absolutely control the publications of the reich. Relaxed Later.

Later this order was relaxed somewhat. This country lies on the fringe of the economic empire which Herr Hitler has established down through the Balkans to support the fatherland. Nazidom has domination over countries farther north and the measure of Berlin's influence over Greece is very great, though not absolute. Thus in this rather small incident in Greece we may have a glimpse of the political force of Germany coming into operation. Mr.
