VRo1AA4N6 4 OAN, July NEI
Proving again that the mod
ern labor union is no longer
the crudely operating apparatus
it was five or 10 years ago, the
international Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers (AFL) be-
gan moving July 18 to swing
into operation on its newly en-
dowd t onaI electronics
school.
The IBEW is act ng nationa-
ally to meet changed conditions
in its industry. 1t is doing SO
on a grand scale, with a pro-
gram to train 700 men a year
in eight in t ensive 6-week
courses in the fast moving field
in which it operates.
Pres. z. j. Brown said that
the 700 trainees will, in turn,
return to their local unions to
instruct members with a plan
of reaching $4,000 each year
with the latest methods and
ideas in electronics.
The IBEW will lay out about
$4,000 annually for tuition
costs to cover the program at
the engineering college of Mar
quette University in Milwaukee,
Wis. Local unions, sending men
into the IBEW endowed school,
will finance their transporta-
tion and lodging charges.
Pork Chop UniOnism
Here is pork chops union
ism" developed to a collegiate
degree, with a sound and real
istic approach to the problems
facing the unions members. AS
Brown and Sec. G. M. Bugnia-
yet said in a joint letter an
nouncing the program, the ven
ture was decided upon because
"a crisis confronts the brother
hood as result of rapid
changes in the field of cleo
tricity."
This is an extraordinary,
crisis" they wrote. "We reesr
to the swift change overes 4
of the electrical industry ~ n
one kind of industr. to a rev
kind. The change will test our
skill as mechanics. Electronics
is a new $4 billion industry. 1t
is destined to become larger
after the war. In fact, it will
become the dominant part of
the electrical industry.
''Electronics machines will be
used everywhere for lighting,
cooking, cleaning and in indus
trial production. These ma
chimes must be installed and
maintained. They take new
knowledge. "
And new knowledge, backed
up with the facilities of great
institution of learning and the
power of labor union,
will serve American labor and
American workers in the new
world that will follow the war,
Before Dies Dies
The unAmerican Dies COM
mittee has two more blows
ready before it gasps its last
with the end of the current
session of congress.
The first will be a new at
tack on the CIO Political Ac-
ton Committee. This will be
report to be released Sept. Is.
Chairman Martin Dies Cd,
Tex.) will write the Louisiana
report himself. He spent two
days in New Orleans seeing
people who see things his way,
so he is now an expert on the
Louisiana situation.
Other members of the COM
mittee will write the remaining
sections. In the wake of this
report will come 6year COM
pilation of all the smears ever
issued by the Dies group. This
will be its swan song and prob
ably its masterpiece.

caliber pistol with which Miss Ben
nett was slain.
The body Of the pretty schoolgirl
had been found about an hour earl
Ter, lying as II asleep on a pile Of
leaves and grass clippings off a
wooded lane in Forest Park where
young Roach told police chief Ray
mond P. Gallagher he had ridden
her on his bicycle just prior to the
staying.
In his alleged confession, the
youth said he had shot her through
the heart with a pistol because he
was jealous Of her other boy friends.
The pistol, he told Chief Gallagher,
was one he had had given him by
his grandfather nearly a year ago.
As nearly as Roach could remem-
Der in his re-enactment Of the
crime, the staying occurred shortly
after p. m. when group of boys
and their bobby-sock girl friends
went for a spin on their bicycles
through the park.
He told authorities that he fired
four shots from the pistol but that
three went wild. The fatal bullet
penetrated her heart, according to
police.
A search was begun for Miss Ben
nett at about p. m. when her
father Robert r. Bennett, division
manager for a greeting card COM
pany, reported that she had failed to
come home at a normal hour.
He said he had checked with sew
eral other parents, including Court
Clerk Harry o. Eberhardt whose
daughter was a member Of the cycl-
ing party. All had returned home
including Eberhardts daughter.
Find Body
Accompanied by police and Eber.
hardt, Bennett drove over streets
surrounding the park and at one
time passed within rs yards Of the
spot where his daughters body ulti-
mately was found.
Police, learning that Young Roach
had ridden Miss Bennett on the
handlebars Of his bicycle, sent de-
tail to the home of s. Everett Cook,
assistant principal Of the Forest
Park Junior High school, with
whom Roach lives.
There they were told the lad had
not been seen since early evening
and he finally was found on q
downtown street.
In describing the crime. Roach
told Chief Gallagher that he had
ridden the girl about a quarter-mile
to the wooded land. They proceeded
up the pathway about rs yards and
stopped.
