It was over the issue of recom mendations to the Taft-Hartley Act that Martin P. Durkin quit the cab inet as secretary of labor. The President’s message was read to the AFL convention by Vice President Richard M. Nixon. Eisenhower said that he believes that enactment of the Taft-Hartely Act a “substantial contribu tion to the quest of sounder labor management relations.'' But he con ceeded that the past six years have “revealed a number of defects should be corrected.” DEFECTS STUDIED * Hs said that the defects had been under “critical study" and that he would send his recommenda tions for revisions to Oongress at the opening of its next session in January.
