Trainrnen Will Join
AFL or CIO Soon
SAYS Pres. Whitney

Miami Beach, Fla, July II
The 270,000-strong Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen will affiliate
with either the AFL or CIO this
fall, President A. F. Whitney pre-
dicted here June 27, without ex-
pressing his own preference be-
tween the two organizations.
''The day is past when labor can
operate successfully on an inde-
pendent basis" he said. "This is the
age of mass production and the
best results can be obtained by a
unified 'front.'"
Whitney is in Miami Beach to
plan the unions convention, which
opens here Sept. 16 and will be
attended by more than 1000 dele
gates. The question of affiliation
with national organization has
been under discussion for 20 years
and the time is ripe now for ac-
ton, he said, adding that the issue
would be high up on the conven-
ton agenda.

PAUL ROBSON, R., COMPLETING AAF
BASIC TRAINING AT SAN ANTONIO CENTER

SAN ANTONIO, Texas. = With
no grand entrance in an operatic
style, Paul Robson, Jr., son of
the great singer and actor, arrived
at the AAF Military Training Cen
ter here, where he is currently
completing basic training.
Paul, Jr., has no need of cashing
in on his fathers good name. For
the younger Robson made a good
name for himself in the world of
sports before entering the Army
Air Forces in May.
First-string end in his freshman
year and first-string halfback as a
sophomore at Cornell University in
Ithica, N. Y, Paul did lot to boil
ster Carl Snavely's "Big Red" at
that institution. And recently, at
the Texas AAU Outdoor Track and
Field Competition in San Antonio,
he leaped 5:5 in the high jump to
take third place in the event as a
member of the track team repre-
senting the training center.
Robson excelled over college
men from all over the nation in
1914 and 1945 with leaps of 6:3
and Ga in Inter-C Collegiate Ameri-
can Amateur Athletic Association
Arizona sun., 1946-07-12

and MillroSe Athletic Association
competition in New York City.
Before entering Cornell, Paul
stood out in football, basketball,
track, and swimming at Technical
High School in Springfield, Mass.
He was named All-City fullback
for two years and received honor
able mention in State circles.
On the track, meanwhile, he set
a new regional high jump mark of
6:3 for Western Massachusetts, high
school competition which no w
stands.
Eighteen years old, Robson was
born in Brooklyn, New York, in
1927. Upon release from the
Army, he says that it will be back
to college for him, to finish work
toward his degree and to add his
weight to Cornell's backfield.
Paul's ambition is to get de-
gree in physics and mathematics,
in which he was majoring at Cor
nell. Not singer like his father,
he says, he wants to fololw a ca
reer in science. He has hopes of
doing work having to do with cleo
trical engineering while in the
AAF-but that story will have to
wait ntil he has finished basic.

"Tudd" Baldwin
States Position
In Assessor Race

Phoenix, Jul 4-(ALO-J. L.
(Judd) Baldwin made the following
prediction statement in his race
for County Assessor:
every one interested in this
atomic era should realize the old
fashioned method sare obsolete.
"The axel of our county govern
ment as we all know is the County
Assessors Office, with modern
methods adopted the operations of
the office would materially bene-
fit our county and state income,
likewise it will benefit the indi-
vidual tax payer in the county.
Those of you who have read my
previous statements know it is my
intention to give just and equit-
able assessed valuation on all prop
erty assessed"
He added: "Your attention as a
taxpayer should be focused on the
County Assessors Office, which is
the axel of the County Tax Sys-
tenn. It is in this office that funds
are made available for County and
State Government.
"Since we are in the new Atomic
Age to progress, modern methods
are necessary to good County Gov
ernment."
