Ganal Zoas Cummings Aides Like Art Works, But Find “Errors” Statue of Liberty Is Fac- ing Shoreward, They Point Out. By the Associated Press. Justice Department attorneys like the artistry of Louis Bouche, New York attorney, but they fear he is not realistic. Bouche has completed some paint- ings near Attorney General Cum- mings’ office dramatizing the admin- istration of Justice. Cummings’ aides pointed out these “errors”: The Statue of Liberty faces shore- ward instead of seaward. A three-masted schooner sails be- fore the wind, vet a pennant at her main masthead flutters sternward. Federal investigators work on only such arson cases as occur on Indian reservations, but the mural shows fire breaking out in a large city. A convict faces four members of the Federal Court of Parole, although he should face only one. Michael Faraday, electrical wizard, turned down a fortune for his in- ventions and died a poor man. PLOT' 15 CHARGED INWEIRTON PROBE Refusal of Auditorium to N. L. R. B. Explained by School Official. By the Associated Press. NEW CUMBERLAND, W. Va., Au- gust 17.—A middle-aged grocer and School Board member testified today he believed & “plot” prevented the National Labor Relations Board from holding its hearing against Weirton Steel Co. in the Weirton High School auditorium. George Kimball, associated with the Hancock County School Board, made his assertion at the Labor Board hear- ing on its complaint that Weirton Steel opposed the Steel Workers' Or- ganizing Committee with “terrorism.” While scores of brawny steel men sat silently during the hearing in the little county court house at New Cum- berland, Kimball declared the School Board originally had agreed to let the | Labor Board hold its present hearing | in the Weirton School. Special Meeting Held. Kimball testified a speclal meeting | then was held at the request of the !ing of the board was called for the fire chief, who said the School Board should first install fire escapes. The witness added: “We received permission to use the auditorium then, but in my opinion the whole thing was a plot to prevent use of the auditorium by the Labor Board.” Clyde A. Armstrong, company counsel, objected to the statement, but was overruled by the trial examiner. Kimball repeated: “In my opinion, that special meet- sole purpose of rescinding the former action granting the Labor Board permission to use the high school auditorium.” Under Armstrong’s questioning, Kimball said he had voted for in- stallation of the fire escape. He previously asked the school board member if it was not true that employe representatives of the steel company, center of the town's in- dustrial life, had received permission to meet in the school and that the C. 1. O. had been refused permission. 300 Jam Court Room. Wearing shining C. I. O. buttons, many of the steel mill men had jammed into the court room long be- fore the hearing resumed. Nearly 300 more witnesses will be called by the labor board. Walter 8. Bambrick, one-time Weir- ton employe and former postmaster of | Weirton, testified the company con- tributed heavily to charities, built a | hospital and high school stadium, and | that the town lived upon the company | that had operated continuously since 1910. At the hearing in this Hancock County town, the company is charged with fostering and maintaining two 12,000 employes, and discriminating against some of the workers, Sugar beets manufacture sugar in their leaves, then transfer it to the employe organizations; dominating its | root for storage.
