War Labor Board

With no loud cheers from either labor or management, the President this week named William Hammatt Davis chairman of his War Labor Board. The Administration took the silence as a tribute to the impartiality of Mr. Davis as chairman of the now-defunct National Defense Mediation Board. Other members of the new Board:

For the public--Vice Chairman George W. Taylor, University of Pennsylvania economics professor; Frank Graham, president of the University of North Carolina; Dean Wayne Morse, of the University of Oregon Law School.

For labor--Matthew Woll, A.F. of L. vice president; George Meany, A.F. of L. secretary-treasurer; R. J. Thomas, president of C.I.O.'s auto union; Thomas Kennedy, secretary-treasurer of C.I.O.'s mine workers.

For industry--Walter Teagle, chairman of Standard Oil; Roger Lapham, chairman of American-Hawaiian Steamship Co.; Albert W. Hawkes, chairman of Congoleum-Nairn; Edward J. McMillan, president of Standard Knitting Mills.
