Police Arrest Transient
And Recover Stolen Loot

Joe Roach, age So, transient,
is lodged in the city Jail, facing
charges of burglary arising out of
the theft of food and clothing
from the Harry Dunn residence
at 319 North Fruitland on the
night of April 80. The Dunn fam
lily were away on a vacation at
the time.
When first taken into custody
at 6 p. m. Wednesday, Roach
denied guilt although the articles
had been found at his camp along
the Union Pacific railway tracks
about mile west of the scene of
the theft. He claimed that they
had been given to him by another
man, who was now away on a
job. Thursday morning, however,
Roach admitted taking the prop
erty.
But police have reason to be-
lieve, Chief M. II. Kershaw says,
that another person was impli-
Gated in the incident. Fingerprints
found in the house indicate that.
The stolen articles were re-
covered by officers within an hour
after the theft was reported.

|Coe 10 Run fol
Represeniadv We

One highlight OF the prelimin-
airy sparring preceding primary
election contests came this week
when Earl S. Coe, state senator,
who announced on Tuesday that
'.his hat was in the ring" for rep
resentative in congress from the
Fourth district.
In announcing his candidacy,
Senator Coe said: "Traveling over
the state the past year, I have seen
the great need for more aggressive
representation in this district,
where great potential federal pro-
jects are developing only too
slowly, generally depending for
results on the work done in the
senate, after they have fallen
down in the house"
For the past thirty-five years,
Senator Coe has been farmer
and business executive IN the 4th
district. His home is at Bingen,
Washington. Always active in civic
affairs, he has served the 10th
legislative district in both the
house and senate.

LABOR VIEW s
By George F. Me- Cray

Dy NCOISC
To fully understand what is hap /
pening in the worlds largest and
most turbulent union, the CLOS
United Automobile Workers of
America, one must know the cir
cumstances in which the events are
taking place. Walter Reuther is
smart, energetic, and bold :. quail |
tiles hard to beat in any contest. |
Reuther's defeat of R. J. Thomas
Reuther's ultimate direction of the
unions affairs have been in the
for the presidency of the union and
making for a long time. He has
been blocked for years by bitter
struggle with the unions secretary
treasurer, George Adde's.
The stalemate between Reuther
and Adde's might have remained
unbroken had it not been for the
war and reconversion. The Adde's
faction of the union put a great
deal of energy into winning local
unions at aviation plants and fac
tories which were hard hit during
reconversion. The Auto Workers
lost over a half of their member
ship of 100000. The union also
lost over half of it's Negro member
ship of 100000 workers. These
losses hurt Adde's far more than
they hurt Reuther who gave special
attention to plants with an imme-
diate postwar future. Yes, the
young red-head is. smart.
The General Motors strike was
pushed by Reuther almost single
handedly when Thomas and other
union leaders were ready to accept
acompromise victory. The workers,
100000 of them, lost millions in
wages and other millions in saw
ings. Others were on relief for sew
eral months, since the United Auto
Workers union and most other C1O
unions cannot afford to pay strike
benefits on the basis of the SIP to
SIS per year which the average
CIO member pays in dues. Thus
these workers went through the
winter on a hand to mouth exist
ence and the union appealed for
several hundred thousand dollars
from both CIO and AFL unions to
care for desperate cases.
Did the General Motors workers
turn on Reuther for leading them
into the largest and most costly
strike in American history?
Though the union settled for 1872
cents per hour instead of the orig
inal 80 cents, Reuther came out OF
the settlement hero. Even then

said, adding that several large gifts
have been reduced below previous
levels and thousands of medium
sized gifts are less this year than in
the past.
1--WE recognize" Mr.. Willett de-
clared, for some individuals a gift
of 81 is a generous one. However,
many thousands of average-income
employees are giving only a dollar or
two, whereas pledge to contribute
Sl2 at the rate of ST month would
be perfectly possible. For a person
who can give a dollar month, one
dollar as a single gift is not ade-
quate or generous"
Services Must Go On.
Excuses for not giving, he said, are
being used to obscure the fact that
only by giving generously can the
people of all of the metropolitan
area support the services that. If
they stop and think, they know

provided on a basis of annual oper-
ations. For a single gift to assist
materially it must represent some

Opportunity For Pledges Urged.
He urged that all contributors be
given an opportunity to make
pledges on a weekly, monthly or
quarterly basis wherever possible.
Housewives as well as Government
and business-firm employees are be-
ing asked to make such pledges.
Mr.. Willett said such pledge card
is an efficient way for housewife
to make her personal gift because
she can pay her total contribution
in proportion to her household
budget. sis
