|SChoIIe Scores
First at State
CI0Convention
BY JACK CRELLIN
Detroit Times Labor Editor

ISuppOrterS Oh august Scnolle, state
president. already claiming the
first victory by securing a major
tity on all committees, the fifth
annual convention of the Michigan
Clio Council opened here today
with more than 1000 delegates in
attendance.
First order Of business at to-
days session was to be Scholle's
annual report to the membership.
which includes victory program
already endorsed unanimously by
the councils executive board.
The program calls for offensives
on the battle front the political
front and the production front. It
asks for a rigid war economy
based on the sevent point eco
nomic program presented by Pres
ident Roosevelt, and urges unity Of
both houses of labor as we'll as
collaboration between capital and
labor.
COMMITTEES NAMED
Naming Of the committees took
lplace yesterday at tense meeting
of the executive board held in the
occidental Hotel. The meeting
found the extreme left wingers for
the most part aligned with
Scholle's followers and the opposi-
ton consisted of supporters of
Andrew Leiper, UAW-CIO inter-
national organizer who is candi-
date for Scholle's job.
Major victory for the Scholle
adherents came in the selection Of
the seven-man resolutions commit
tee. Members Of the committee
are Robert Weinstein, chairman;
Jack Livingstone, Emil Macy,
Carl Thrasher, Barnet Crump,
Jack White and Arthur Law. All,
with the exception Of Thrasher,
are acceptable to the Scholle
group.
Other committees named were
the rules, educational. union label
and publicity. Scholle's comment
following the meeting was:
81 am very well satisfied with
the committees named"
WILL SQUELCH ATTACKS
Although all pre-convention
maneuvers indicated that John L.
Lewis was to be the main target
of criticism because of his feud
with Go President Phillip Muir
ray, Scholle limited last night that
he would attempt to squelch any
open attacks on the president of
the United Mine Workers.
Scholle's attitude was a surprise
to many of the delegates. who
only two weeks ago heard him
accuse Lewis of sabotaging Muir
ray. However, il was believed
that he may be following the line
laid down by Murray at the
United Steel Workers convention
when he asked the delegates to
refrain from wasting their time
by bringing out on the floor inter-
nal disputes in the Go.
The delegates were watching
with considerable interest the spe-
cial session Of the executive board
of the United Mine Workers in
Washington. Scholle's report re-
veals that there was an increase
of AZ per cent in per capita tax
payments this year over last year.
$54,65o DUES RECEIVED
Ben Probe, secretary-treasurer,
reported to the convention that
the council received $54,650 in
dues last year and paid out $40, 121.
Speakers at today's meeting
were to be Gov. Murray d. Van
Wagner and John Brophy, direc-
tor of Industrial Union Council of
the CIO.
Imperial Valley press., 1942-07-01
IMPERIAL VALLEY
YOUTHS EXCEL

Imperial Valley has probably as many
or more young men per capita IN the
armed service of the United States as
any other comparable area in the coun-
try. The valley young men-at Malta, in
Australia, at Midway, in the Philippines,
in the raid on Tokyo-have established
a record of heroism and outstanding per
formance which few other communities
can equal.
Excellence is written into the record
of valley young people in civil life, and
carries over into military and naval per
formance. Right now the bulk OF our
attention centers naturally on those who
are fighting for their country, but we
should not entirely overlook the others
who are demonstrating the same excel
lence in other fields.
We have applauded the Calexico youth
who was decorated for heroism as an avia-
tor at Malta, the valley man who was
navigator on the Tokyo raid, the torpedo
plane co-pilot whose heroism was out
standing at Midway, the many who have
distinguished themselves in Australia and
the Philippines, the valleyites who served
on the Lexington. Let us not forget that
their outstanding performances sprung
from the same characteristics that bring
honor to others of our young people,
some of whom may themselves soon be
in the battle.
Outstanding recent proof that our
young people excel in civilian pursuits,
as we'll as on the fighting fronts, came
from tlo All Clubs annual summer
camp, where valley delegates in competi
tion with others from all parts of south
ern California won first place in practi-
cally all competitions and were victorious
in a maj iority of sports events.
Carol Martin was the hghest-rated of
all the girls at the camp. Mike Henos was
the highest scorer among the boys. Both
are valley youngsters. Not only that,
but valley boys and girls were second and
third highest scorers as we'll. Valley clubs
were HIGHEST in club ratings. and many
valley individuals were outstanding in
all fields.
This is the sort of performance which
demonstrates conclusively the spirit
which has made our young men outstand

excellence is undoubtedly the fact that
the valley is still a young community,
with all the drive and energy Of pioneer

Let's keep it that way.
