No longer may "youngllngS"
within the Government service
"embarrass" the American Fed
Grafton of Government Employees
by their rebelliously liberal &C
tivities, according to the official
constitution which has been newly
reprinted anf. is now in process
of distribution to members.
In cold type, set UP under man
date of the September convention
which saw five lodges of young
liberals ousted from utilization on
charges ranging anywhere from
rabid radicaliSm to rabid mpu-
dence, the new constitution pre-
vents any action not approved by
the A. F. G. E. executive council,
which opponents declare is gov
erned wholly by the high and
mighty five"
This group, it is generally under
stood, is composed of Cecil E.
Custer and James G. Yaden of
Civil Service, Ira Y. Balm of In
ternal Revenue, G. Carroll DIM
ond of Adjutant Generals Office,
and Michael Schaefer, Navy. BY
virtue of personality and other
political ability it has during the
past proven an outstanding bull
wark for conservative A. F. G. E.
factions during controversies that
have at least given the organiZa-
ton a perspiring spot in the public
limelight.
The new constitution carries the
usual threats of suspension against
any lodge or person who issues I'M
authorized statements to the press
or other folk which might be con-
strued as inuring the A. F. G. E.
or its legislative program. But it
also adds:
I'm case of an emergency,
any member of the Executive
Council may issue in writing to
any lodge, or any member
thereof, an order to cease and
deSiSt activities deemed mimi
cal to the best interests Of the
federation, a copy Of such order
and the circumstances sur.
rounding the case to be i'm
mediately submitted in writing
to the president, who shall,
without delay, present the mat
ter to the Executive Council for
consideration and action. Fail
ure of the lodge or any mem
her thereOf\tO Immediately com.
ply with such order shall be
deemed sufficient grounds for
immediate suspension by ma
jority vote of the Executive
Council, without hearing"
The cease and deSiSt" order,
followed by the without hearing"
threat, is believed by A. F. G. E.
rulers to form an effective stop
page for any further "youngling"
activities that are unauthorized.
All of which may mean new
employe organization before many
months pass by. Particularly in
view of the C. I. O.'s radical but
stubborn tendencies.
The following numerology an.
alysis is presented for Sydney
Swiller. Agricultural Adjustment
Administration:
''You must embrace a philosophy that
enables you to demand freedom for your
broadening thoughts and expression, but
you must treat everyone in your own
life with tolerance and without attempt
ing to dominate or restrict them. For
al friA nd r.
the broad-minded, for these will help
you to broaden your own pathway, and
will leave you free to attempt the
chances which Advancement makes nee
essary.
You are analytical but you must try for
more relaxation of mind or you will be
chacking up on yourself too much, and
will be unable to accomplish big things
because you will be too conscious of
yourself of the things you are doing
and the way you are doing them.
You love above all things freedom.
