C.G.G. Leader Fails
To Win Teachers To
Manager Plan Cause
Merit System FavOrs Recent Graduates State Law
Prohibits Teachers From Playing Politics.; Crit
finhagen Views Reflected in Present Plan

Objection to the city manager
charter Is expressed by two local
teachers In letters to The Democrat
today. One asserts that Harold r
White, president of the Citizens

almost colossal ignorance" of the
proposed charters provisions at o
teachers meeting at the Y. M. c. A
Wednesday night. The other claims
that teachers who have been seek
ing local positions for years would
have no more chance than recent
normal school graduates.
The critic of Mr.. White states
that the Good Government head
was unable to answer objections pro-
posed by teachers and that he
showed unfamiliarity with the pro-
visions of important charter sections.
The two letters follow:
To the Editor of The Democrat:
AS one teacher who went to the
Y. M. c. A. Wednesday night to
hear the city manager charter ex-
planned and objections to it an

pletely disappointed. 1t was the
most unsatisfactory and uninfrm-
alive meeting of its kind possible.
I had presumed that no one
would be better acquainted with
the city manager charter and its
provisions than Mr.. Harold White,
the president of the Citizens Good
Government association. Mr..
White, though, showed an almost
colossal ignorance of Just what
the charter would do. He hemmed

those opposing the charter, but he
added title or nothing to my I'M
Outstanding of the charter and did
absolutely nothing to answer my
objections to it.
Mr.. White told us he thought
teachers were wonderful people,
and went on to say he hoped that
several teachers would be elected to
the board of education after the
city manager charter passes. Ger
tainly Mr.. White should know that
state laws prohibit teachers from
being members of boards of edu-
catioh.
He was asked if teachers would
be under a personnel director, and
again he hemmed and hawed. Fin
ally, 1t was dragged out of him
that the superintendent of schools
would be in charge of personnel
and that he could, if he wished,
reclassify, regroup or reorganize
the teaching staffs. From my
reading, up to then Mr.. White
had been denying publicly that
the teachers would be under any
personnel director.
AS for pensions, any questions
about them that were asked of
Mr.. White drew a complete blank.
The teachers had to interpret
those sections of the charter
themselves.
Mr.. White didn't even know who
drew up the charter. Later on,
he admitted that he guessed"
that the Griffenhagen accounting
firm had something to do with it.

City Manager Plan
Hostile To Labor
Claim Communists

The Communist Party owes
great many thanks to the Good
Government Association.
/. Because it has bought us
such excellent publicity space.
2. Because it has honored us
with a leading position in the
fight against the city manager
plan.
3. Because it has taught our
people right here at home the
meaning of red batting.
Growing opposition to the city
manager plan charter has pushed
the Good Government Association
beyond the bounds of honesty and
decency. 1t has stopped to the low
commonplace trick of red batting,
The plain purpose of such tao
tic is to dupe the people of our
city into voting for the reaction
airy city manager charter.
The Good Government Associa-
ton has always paraded under the
mask of liberalism but by this one
act it has exposed its ugly self
to the entire city. It has expressed
itself in the spirit of all those who
have consistently fought against
the welfare of the people, of all
those who try to make Of red bait
ing a springboard for attacking
everything progressive and good.
1t Is now very plain what the city
manager plan holds in store for
us, for the trade unions, for ra-
cial minorities, for civil liberties,
for the unemployed, for all work.
ing people and for democracy it.
self.
The Communist Party is not
stand alone as an opponent of the
city manager charter. The trade
union movement insofar as it has
expressed itself has emphatically
made its opposition clear. The
working people Of our city, indi-
vidually and through their organ
izations have also expressed their
opposition.
The Community Party is not a
party of political job seekers nor
are we on the payroll of local
manufacturers. Our analysis of
the city manager plan therefore
arises solely from an interest in
the welfare of our people. The
merit OF our position lies in that
