And rriniv than two people know thinK In Washington, It isn't Note Byrnes was a little I The CIO leader not only endorsed legislation to prevent jur- Isdictional tie-ups and secondary boycotts, but other Truman proposals. "The message was fair and public-spirited," the CIO chief told Senator Murray. "Labor can have ro quarrel with It." Some years ago, -ho set up a committee within the CIO which had been highly- successful in dealing with Juriadlctlonal union problems, CIO's Murray told Montana's Murray.

Convinced that he did not have "As result," he said, "we have a chance to win his battle during little or no trouble, with jurisdictional disputes within the CIO today," He admitted that there i.i 'ttill the opening days of Congress, Bilbo went to Senator Hoey. Telling the silver-haired tarhoel that he knew himself to be licked, Bilbo between tho CIO an'd the AFL, cm continued, his voice choked with which might be remedied by Con- gretsional action, 'But I am flat broke, and ir they kick me out now, I won't even have railroad fare back to "On several occasions in the Misslsuippi. mllTod she pot the posti i nave recommended to Bill, "Now I have looked up tho law, i.l' her husband's retirement from Crcen tAFL president) that an If I will step aside for two or newspapermen who phoned her. 0 CIO-AFL commitee up three months I can draw my pay had known that her husband later in tho about week, hut she didn't know thr rush announcement.

It was found -that Bilbo's interpretation was correct. Barkley and Hoey then went to O.

P. Leader Taft who called Senators Wallace White, of Maine and Eugene Millikin of Colorado to his office. Taft and White were for immediate acceptance but Millikin balked, insisting that Bilbo be barred "now and for all time." The two Democrats pointed out that, even with a revision of the clcture rules, something: which itself might precipitate a filibuster, it might take ae long as 30 days to oust "the man." So, after about 40 minutes of discussion, Colorado's Millikin agreed that if Dr. George W. Culver, Capitol physician, would give it as his professional opinion -that Bilbo was genuinely in need of an operation, he, Millikin, would "go along." That was how the deal was arranged.

New Hampshire's Senator Charles Tobey, however, could resist putting Vandenberg on the spot. Talking with a group of G. O. P.

colleagues in the Senate restaurant, Tobey mentioned the long, sleek limousine, with liveried chauffeur, which goes to Vandenberg along with his new job. we of the Republican party pledged to the maintenance and extension of American democracy," said Tobey. looking at V'andonborg, "I wonder if the president of the Senate would not agree that it is up to us to demonstrate our fundamental belief in that democracy wherever possible.

The days when the scratch of a phonograph needle seemed ns prominent as the rofordir.g itself may be on tho way out. Thanks to a new device invented hv Herman II. president of the Technology Instruments Corp. of Waltlinm, both old and new phonograph records heard clearly at all times. Known technically as the "dynamic noise suppressor," the device automatically and instantaneously adapts the channel to conform with the roquircmeits of the musical range, thus obtaining a clear tone.

In other words, tho invention operates like a rapid electronic "gate" to admit the music, eliminating nil bul an almost Inaudible amount of noise. In the bass musical register, tho suppressor reduces the heavy rumble and in the high range the reduction or scratch is marked. The average home radio would need one to four extra v.icuum tubes for the dynamic suppressor. One tube would for smallest radios, three or four plus a few other components are iccessary for more elaborate out- its. The device already has been earmarked for use by the Fisher Radio of New York and the Radio Laboratories of Chicago.

Sound and radio engineers, hearing the first demonstration wore so impressed that words failed them. "It has to be' heard to be- 'leved," was the consensus.
