C.I.O. counsel hits A.F. of L. criticism of National Labor Relations board. Washington, D.C., Lee Pressman, C.I.O. counsel, today took issue with the A.F.L. proposals to "safeguard" unions against NLRB "favorism" by providing that the Board's decisions shall not become effective until confirmed by the courts.
