SUSPENDED
II
BYA. F. 6. f.
Council Says Workers
Picketed Bureau
of Investigation

All employees Of the Department
Of Justice holding membership
cards in the American Federation
Of Government Employees have
been summarily suspended by the
organizations executive council, it
was learned today.
The action was taken against
Lodge No. 81, composed Of more
than 100 employees Of the Federal
Bureau Of Investigation, on charges
that the lodge had picketed the
Department Of Justice Building in
connection with its recent protest
against alleged "SweatShop" con.
ditions in the Oman unit directed
by J. Edgar Hoover.
At q meeting of the A. r. G. e.
District Of Columbia Department
last night at the Hamilton Hotel,
the federation'S executive council
charged the Justice group with VIC
lating Article Two Of its constitu.
ton, which reads:
eve oppose and will not sup
port strikes against the United
States Government, picketing
or other measures having the
effect Of embarrassing it."
Balm CHARGES UNIT
Ira Y. Balm, vice president Of
the A. F. G. E. and chief per-
sonnet officer Of the Bureau Of
Internal Revenue, presented the
charges against the Justice unit,
to the effect that members had
paraded in front Of the Justice
Building with derogatory plae.
cards.
Members Of the suspended
lodge heatedly denied the charges
during the meeting, held privately,
declaring their only action was to
distribute messages to employees
of the Bureau of Investigation
protesting against the discharge
of seven members Of the union,
who were asked to resign by Di-
rector Hoover during the past
three weeks for alleged ineffic-
iency. The lodge claims they were
Disseminated against because Of
excessive union activity.
Age Split Looms
Action of the executive council
today threatened to split the
Age wide open, with a rift be-
tween conservative and liberal
elements of the organization prom
ising an open rebellion on the
part Of the latter, who compose q
strong minority.
Immediately after announce.
ment Of the councils decision at
the meeting Of the District De-
partment, the Interstate Com
merce Commission, Works Prog
reSs Administration, Labor De-
partment, ReSettlement Admins
tration and Veterans AdminiStra-
ton lodges declared themselves in
complete support Of the Justice
lodge.
AL Would Quit
It was intimated that the entire
group would withdraw if the sus-
pension is not lifted, as the fed
Grafton constitution provides that
suspended group must await the
national convention in Detroit
September IA to present its plea
for reinstatement.
Members of the ousted unit de-
clared they had been illegally
suspended" because they had re-
ceived no notice Of the executive
councils decision and had been
given no chance to defend the
picketing charge before the coun-
Gil. They said the entire charge
was based on a headline reading,

Dick, one of the most likeable of the big players, and Joan, a girl who had seen the world and had plenty of hard knocks in the school of vaudeville, were cast together in many pictures, but it was not until after they began dating" that they found they weren't just friends any more.
 At first, when Hollywood suspect ed romance was in the bud, that is what they kept on saying just friends As the time for Joan's final decree rolled nearer, however, they just said nothing, and let Hol- lywood guess.
 Hollywood guessed it would be wedding bells-and Hollywood was right.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Sept. 28. -- They first played together in The Gold Diggers of 1883" and the se- quel, or 1887 edition, found them heading for the marriage license bureau.
 Between those two films were a crowded four years for Joan Blon- dell and Dick Powell. Neither knew then that some day Hollywood would be holding guessing contests on their wedding date. Dick was just a friend of the family-the Barnes family
 Still Friends
 Today, even though the Barnes family is split up by divorce, Dick is still it's friend He and Joan and George Barnes, the camera man, often coworkers on the sets, are frequently seen trio in the in- formal camaraderie of the lots. If Joan meant those cruelty charges in her divorce complaint against Barnes, she has forgotten and for given now. After all, many movie friendships survive divorce.
 During the 1883 Gold Diggers' Joan was the bride of the camera man who had lighted and photo graphed her so well in the making of The Greeks Had Word For Them Dick Powell was that "crooning fellow from Little Rock, Ark, via Pittsburgh, whose popu- larity with film fans grew despite most unpleasant first rule in the picture Blessed Event
 Separation Surprise
 Powell, who sings more lustily than the crooner type, was brought out for a picture entitled "The Crooner, but he never played in it. They heard the commands of fan mail and put him into bigger things Right now he heads the fan mail list at his studio.
 Joan meanwhile, retired for mo- therhood. Little Norman Scott Barnes arrived, but he was not yet two when Joan startled Hollywood with her sudden separation from the man with whom she had eloped after a whirlwind romance.
 And after the divorce. when Joan began going places with escorts again, Hollywood soon noticed that her favorite escort was becoming Dick Powell, who meanwhile had been the rumored suitor of several other filmland charmers.
