Atty. Blansfield today stated that
he had no comment" to make rel-
ative 10 the invitation and Il could
not be determined whether he would
attend.
The invitation was extended part
~ In rebutal to claims by Atty.
Blansfield that c. I. o. leaders fear
their actions would not bear the
scrutiny Of the public. The latter
charge was bassd on a recent pub
lication by the local of Its financial
report In which Mr.. Blansfield
charged there was a lack Of con.
else details.
Atty. Blansfield challenged union
officials TO produce proof that
have been a labor-baiter or else stop
uttering falsehoods that are without
foundation.
The union. In a statement re-
leased by Mr.. Rossi invited Mr..
Blansfieid to attend the next meet
ing 10 which also an invitation has
been extended 10 the press as rep
resentatiyes Of the public.
Mr.. Rossi's statement in full is as
follows:
Michael v. Blansfield, labor
batting candidate for the Demo.
cratic nomination for Congress.
has issued a statement concerning
the financial report recently made
public by a union. He did not
name the union. because he pre-
fers the methods of insinuatton
and innuendo. II he named the
union, he would be limiting his
attack to one union. by leaving
the public guessing he gets In a
smear on all labor unions.
we In labor believe In forth
rightness and honesty and direct
dealing. We know that Mr.. Blans-
field referred 10 Local Isl. because
this Is the only union In this area
which has recently issued a finan-
cial report, and We are willing TO
acknowledge that the reference
was 10 Local Isl.
THE charge that Mr.. Blans-
field made against the union, by
the lab0r-baiting methods Of in
situation and indireetion. was
that IL had not given an itemized
report OF the expenditure of Its
funds.
Newspapers carried long ac-
counts OF the detailed itemization
of the funds and Mr.. Blansfield
knew II. The report is stiil avail
able and will remain available, to
anyone who wants TO see II.
However. for MIR. Blansfield we
have a special extra Arrangement.
We invite him 10 attend the next
meeting Of the union--a meeting
of the membership. We invite
him 10 repeat his charges-using
insinuation and indirection and
cheap political methods II he
wants tor the plain direct Ian
guage Of q gentleman. II he cares
10 do that. Whichever method he
uses. he viii get q full answer 10
his charges-and from gentlemen
and ladies who comprise the
membership of our union"
MIR. Blansfield talks about the
challenges he makes 10 the clio.
Here is one for him. The mem,
bership meeting win be on August
