NLRB general counsel defends board before House Labor Committee. Washington, D.C., May 31.

He said, 'It is so temperate that were it to be changed at all in material respects, means for strengthening it should be sought.' Before Fahy read his 100 page statement, Chairman of the Board J. Warren Madden, said that to make a strict definition of areas for bargaining units would be a 'step backward'
