To Hurt Their Reputation

Libel suits totaling $400, 900
against the AFL Teamsters' Union
and its president, Daniel j. Tobin.
were on file today in District Court
as an outgrowth of the October S
Battle of the Statler."
The suits were filed for 1t. RAN
dolph Dickins, jr., and 1t. Comdr.
James H. Suddeth by their attor-
ney, Thomas c. Bradley. Each

the union and Mr.. Tobin on the
basis of an article published in tina
November issue of the International
Teamster, organ of the Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Teamsters.
Chauffeurs, Warehousemen and
Helpers.
The Navy officers charge, in their
suits, that they were ibeled by the
accusation of numerous acts of
misconduct in the article. Also pub
lished in the paper were several
affidavits repeatedly made by union
members and accusing the officers
of rowdyism.
The purpose in publishing the
articles, the suits said, was Ito de-
stroy the good name and reputa-
ton" of the defendants and ito in
f1uence the election of the present
incumbent in the Office of Presi-
dent of the United States to another
term in the same office"
The officers said in their suits
that if the charges published against
them in the union paper were true,
they would be subject to court
martial.
The fracas took place in the
Statler Hotel after President Roose-
welt had addressed a dinner of the
Teamsters' Union. Later, the Sem
ate Campaign Expenditures Com
mittee began an investigation and
collected aff1davits, but dropped the
matter when it decided it had no
jurisdiction.

Democratic stronghold on Tuesday

several days ago that he expects the
President to win in Baltimore by

Republican Mayor Theodore r..

William H. Stark
Guest Speaker AT
Rotary Meeting

William H. Stark, chief instruc-
tor of shipfiiting and fairing for
the war production training pro-
gram at the ingalls, shipyard, was
the guest speaker at the week
ly luncheon meeting of the Pas
cagoula Rotary Club Wednesday
at the Community House.
A. P. May, president, presided
at the meeting and T. j. Tyson,
program leader for the day, in
troduced Mr.. Stark to the MEM
bers and guests.
Mr.. Stark used as his subject,
Vocational Service in Mississip-
pi," and dealt largely with the
work accomplished by the Voca-
tional Department of the U. S.
Office of Education in meeting
the crisis generated by war
needs of trained personnel in
both the armed forces and indus
try.
Nocauondl training, he SAID,
is older than can be traced in
history and stemmed from the
old Guilds, which approximate
u apprentice system. However.
the demand for skilled men was
stepped up tremendously by the
war, and an example of the ex-
pansion of the program is seer
in the fact that Mississippi alone
in 1942-43 spent more for voca-
tional training than did the whole
nation in 1919.
The ingalls, yard was the first
in the United States to inaugu-
rate on-the-job training, Mr.
Stark said, and it proved so sue
cessful that other yards and in
dustries have sent representatives
here TO study and inaugurate
similar programs. Include
among these was a representa-
tive of the Department of Educa-
ton of England who came here
to make a study of the program
and carry ideas for stepping up
production back to England.
Several visitors were intro
duced by President May.
