BEFORE THE DEATH OF DR..
Charles L. Rivard'ss mother, in
st. Clair Shores, about a year
ago while Charlie was
serving with the medical corps
in Italy she often express
ed wish that her son in service
would equal the record of his
Observation-Disclosures, Major
Jacques Campau, of Michigan,
who received his majority short
ly after the War of 1912.
Charlie, former Macomb County
coroner and very popular
South Macomb medico, saw his
mothers wish come true recent
ly after two years on &C.
tive service in the Mediterran-
can theater. He's now Major
Charles l.. Rivard! And
another wish came true, Major
Rivard had an audience with
the Pope. DR.. Rivard was form
erly attached to the staff of ST.
Joseph Hospital, Mount Clemens.
Mrs. Miriam Ravens, our
East Detroit departmental ed
itor Of the South Mac0mb
News, had better bring a
heavy creel Of fish back from
Bellaire, Mich, or else face
our columnistic jibes from now
on after sending that
picture card showing three
giant muskies lying in the
cool, damp grass. She also
noted the fact that she and
her family were at that mo-
ment bound for a picnic and
outing on Grand Traverse
Bay But the brutal tone
Of her postcard was summed
up in the note: Having a
grand time! There's lots of
meat here" How can we
stand it?
HOSPITALITY was the word
at Selfridge Field Monday night
when for the first time in six
years the Filters were hosts to
Mount Clemens Recre at o n
League team who were
beaten, incidentally. But hand
shakes and friendly smiles were
the order of the evening. The
use Of locker rooms, showers,
etc, was graciously offered the
Bath City men by base officers
while the ordinary CTS standing
around watching the game (real-
izing that civilians have a tough
time getting cigarettes)
freely passed around packages
Of the precious Tags!
They tell us (but we can't
vouch for it, that Selfridge
Field men scattered all over
the world are passing the
word around from one to an
other making a date for 4
Grand Reunion exactly one
year from the day that Japan
cOllapses and Is declared out
Of the scrap And the big
gathering will be held at
Mount Clemens, presumably
Selfridge Field. Sounds
romantic and thrilling, cOnsid-
erie that some Of these chaps
left here As lieutenants and
are now two and three-Star
generals. Personally, we
hope such q reunion can be ar.
ranged.

Today he's walking with little

WiII t1,e CIO Quit Again?

The next preceding National Labor Relations Board election in this shpyard conducted Friday June 25th 193 almost two O years before this campaign That was the time when the CO tried to have three @ separate cleo ons for the Victory Yard for the South Yard and the Main Yard but turned down by the NLRB
 After several months of bitter campaigning, the CIO bgshos could that they going to take trouncng in the election and probably be defeated by greater majority than in the prior election when they took to thrashing.
 Two three days before the election to take place fmsy cooked up and the CIO withdrew from the ballot and finished up campaigning for union vote
 This underhanded stab in the back failed miseraby and workers again repudated the CIO by most convincing ma jority.
 There many signs indicating that the CIO is merely going through the motions in this campaign and will again quit at the last minute in order to face in the other shpyards where thousands of pyad workers demon strang every day that they completely fed with this organization.

It had been previously an- nounced that the meeting would be held on May IS, but due to con- f1icting circumstances it was neces- sary to push the date ahead to the l7th.

The next meeting of the Boiler makers L-614 is at present sched- uled to be held at the Union offices at 5 POquonnOck Road, Groton. Conn.,, on Saturday. May 18th, at II a. m.
 This meeting promises to be a very interesting one as according to the constitution and bylaws of the lodge it is the month to either verify the officers who were elect ed to office last December or to make nominations for elections at the June meeting. The new off cers elected will then serve out the remaining term that expires in June. 1948.

It is the habit of the CIO BIGS SHOTS to approach company and arrange a "back-door agreement" that is rarely ever seen by their membership. These agreements are railrOaded right through with the understanding that the BIG SHOTS will never back or push the agreement.
 The workers at the Templetone Plant find themselves with 8 con- tract full of promises and air cas- ties built by their BIG SHOTS, but WHERE ARE THOSE SAME BIG SHOTS? ? !? !? It sure looks as If they're trying to let the local men hold the well known BAG!
 The American Federation signed 8 NO-STRIKE pledge for the du- ration of the WAR and have lived up to 1t! The reason for this is that the AZ of l. writes good strong contracts and properly polices them and does not allow any breach of contract by any manage ment without immediately taking legal steps to make them come back into line. AN INDEPEND- ENT UNION and CIO units are without this protection! THIS IS MADE VERY CLEAR WITH THE NEWS OF THE PROPOSED STRIKE AT TEMPLETONEs It seems very significant that the legal advisor for the Temple tone Radio Corporation is Edward Schneider, attorney for the E. B. Company, who pushed the Inde- pendent Union that used to be in existence at the E. B. Company into a strike last August, by using the same legal subterfuge he is using at Templetone which is unop- posed by the CIO BIG-WIGS, in order to squirm out of the con- tract provisions. Edward Schnei- der, 1t will be remembered, used to be on the staff of the National Labor Relations Board and 1t would appear leans heavily upon old friendships at the Regional Office of the NLRB at Boston.
 If any of the workers at the Electric Boat Company have thought for one minute that they can find protection under a CIO contract-what Is happening at the Templetone Radio should diSpel their wild ideas.

Hoover Stresses
Propaganda Blow
Al 5. +. Meeting

PHILADELPHIA, April 18. (UP)-
Former President Herbert Hoover
said Tuesday night the San Fran
cisco security conference should de-
fine aggression to include direct or
indirect subsidized governmental
propaganda in other nations
The enforcement of such a pro-
vision, Mr. Hoover told the foreign
policy association, would help cure
that cause of war which grows out
Of crusading faith, political or
otherwise
Experiences with the Nazi infil-
tration of poisonous propaganda and
fifth columns into peaceful nations
should indicate there is a new form
Of aggression in the world" Mr..
Hoover said.
BSSailicg the agreement to give
the great nations veto power in the
world security council, "as a result
of Russian protest, Mr.. Hoover said
the voting compromise would make
the council as ineffective as the
old league OF nations in dealing With
aggressors.
by that compromise" he said,
the great nations who were men,
bers of the security council have a
veto power to prevent any desig-
nation of their own action as ag-
gression. Practically that puts all
the great military powers out of
reach. And world wars are not
started by small nations"

Pyle, a skinny little man who
roamed the world in peace and war
as Scripps- Howard correspondent.
was standing with the regimental
commanding officer of headquarters
troops on the outskirts of the town
when Japanese machine gun
opened up in a surprise attack.
The famed correspondent was
shot three times through the temple
while under japanese machine gun
fire, blue network correspondent
Jack Hooley broadcast from Ie
Shima.
Pyle was headed for the front
line fighting with 1t Col. Joseph
Coolidge of Arkansas when a sudden
burst of fire sent them scrambling
from their jeep into a ditch beside
a narrow coral road, Hooley said.
PEERED OVER EDGE
After a few minutes they peered
over the edge of the ditch and the
gun ratified again. Coolidge looked
back to find Pyle dead beside him.
Coolidge finally managed to crawl
to safety and three tanks moved up
to rescue Pyle's body. Steady ma
chine gun fire pinned the men in
side the tanks and finally Cpl. Alex
ander Roberts of New York City vol
unteered to go alone.
He found Pyle, his face peaceful
in death underneath his helmet, and
the marine fatigue cap he wore lin

A chaplain and litter bearer came

Hooley said.
The last reports from lie Shima
showed that our front lines extend
ed through the town.
RELAYS MESSAGE
Admiral Turner's message was re-
layed from the commanding gen.
eral of the division with which Pyle
went ashore at lie.
II regret to report that War Cor
respondent Ernie Pyle, who made
such a great contribution to morale
of our foot soldiers, was killed in
battle" the message read.
Shortly before he left on the lie
invasion, he told correspondent
here that he didn't want to go. But
he said the GIs didn't want to be
there either, and that he was gcing
along until the shooting was fin
ished.
The word of the death of the be-
loved chronicler of the CT was re-
