Records Stolen
From Suspended
Engineer Local
All Office Equipment
Also Vanishes 2 Hours
After Custer Actions

Nine hours after the Detroit
| local had been notified of IT'S sus-
pension rom the international
llnion. the Offices Of the Society Of
Designing Engineers, 1891 Wood
Ward avenue. were looted OF its
records and office equipment, Off
lcials of the union told police today.
A union spokesman said that
| Thursday morning they were no.

| OF the Federation OF Architects,
Engineers. Chemists and Techni-
IcianS-CIO, that two international
representatives. Joseph Tuna and
| Sam Blackburn, and the president
| of the local. Elwyn Allen. with the
zimmerman executive board, had all
been suspended.
Bern'S action was apparently
prompted by a referendum vote
conducted among the Detroit To-
calls $500 members on the ques-
ton of distributing itself from the
Facet but not from the Go.
The vote has not yet been tab
|ulated.
Then that night some one gained
entrance 10 the office and took all
records as we'll as office equip
|ment.
Union officials said that there
has been ill-feeling between the
international and the local for the
past three years.
VALUE UNDETERMINED
The executive board issued
statement charging that Bern,
who is allegedly friendly 10 John
L. Lewis, was dictatorial and that
the suspensions were unwarranted
and unprecedented.
Value of equipment taken has
not yet been determined.
A statement issued later by.
Blackburn, Tuna and the other
dismissed men SAID il was q matter
of record that Bern has often said
