Vice President of Big Lo- cal Is First Found
 Guilty in Trial

SEATTLE, Dec 16-Eight thou sand union members of the Boeing Airplane Company awaited more re- ports today after approving one re- port in which the union trial board recommended Vice-PreSident Donald Keppler be found guilty of Con- munistic activity"
 Union Local 751 of the Aeronau- tical Mechanics Union voted ap- proval of the report on Keppler in a mass meeting Saturday despite his denial he was or ever has been a Communist.
 Because the trial board declared other reports are not completed, only about one-fourth of the union mem bership was present Saturday.
 The local has scheduled a second mass meeting for December 28 to hear charges against some 26 other officers and members investigated by the board on variety of charges, including Communism activities in imical to the unions welfare and distribution of unauthorized litera- ture.
 The board didn't make public the names of all other men investigated or details of the charges.
 Investigations stemmed iron a series of charges printed about 2 month ago in the union publication, Aero Mechanic
 Editor Clifford Stone was sus- pended from his position because of his articles, but confronted Keppler at the mass meeting, urging the membership to approve the trial boards report

500, 900 NEW WORKERS
 EMPLOYED FOR DEFENSE;
 DIRTH OF SKILLED MEN
By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16. An swering the mail orders:
 G. L., Kansas City, Kan. The most recent estimate, I believe, that has been made about the number of new workers put on the job by the defense program is that of William s. Knudsen, who sets the figure at 600,000.
 He points out, however, that a great many more would be em- ployed if skilled workers could be found It is interesting I think that he attributes the shortage of skilled workers to the disinclina- tion of young people to take up manual labor after the World War
 They seemed to get the idea that work with the hands was de- grading. Many went to college who would have been better off in the machine shops" he says.
 This attitude prevailed through the boom years and the lack of opportunity for young persons seeking to become skilled workers during the depression is what has brought about the present condi- tion, according to Knudsen
 "Bill' Knudsen, by the way, is just about perfect example of the point that there is nothing degrading about working with ones hands. Knudsen was once bi- cycle. assemblyman, shipyard and railway roundhouse worker and bench laborer in a steel mill
 s. T. F., Austin, Texas. Ac- cording to Rep Lee Geyer of Cali fornia, who has made a study of the voting situation in the coun- try, there are about 10,000000 persons deterred from voting by poll taxes. MT Geyer says these are in eight states. Texas, Ten nessee, Virginia, Georgia, Missis- sippi, Arkansas, Alabama and South Carolina. He says that roughly these 10000,000 are divided into six million whites and four million negroes. Tn the recent election there were somewhere in the neigh borhood of 20,000,000 other "po- tential voters (that is, persons of voting age) who did not vote.

ASHE FARM NOTES
Wade E. EIler, Of Clifton co

Wade r. Eller, OF clifton COM

barnyard manure on pasture sore
spots.
He states: "In 1898 we applied
manure to part of a thin, broken
place in the pasture near enough
to the barn till we carried the
manure from the barn to the thin
spot on forks. The broken turf
on that thin spot where the ma
nure was applied is healed now.
Grass is making a good growth
there now"
