The opinion

EDGERTON, Circuit Judge

(dissenting).

I think the Board’s finding is supported, upon the record as a whole, by very substantial evidence. In my opinion the discharge slips strongly corroborate Hartsock. The words “forcibly blocking entrance to the plant” seem to me to de *840 scribe the Steeley incident and nothing else. Certainly the Board might reasonably understand these words in this way. If the words are so understood, the Board’s finding has ample support. In deference to my brethren I concede that the words might reasonably be understood in a different way, but this does not mean that the Board’s finding lacks support. The “requirement for canvassing ‘the whole record’ in order to ascertain substantiality does not * * * mean that * * * a court may displace the Board’s choice between two fairly conflicting views, even though the court would justifiably have made a different choice had the matter been before it de novo.” Universal Camera Corp. v. National Labor Relations Board, 340 U.S. 474, 488 , 71 S.Ct. 456, 465 , 95 L.Ed. 456 .
