INTEREST IN CARNERA
MATCH KEEN

Awaiting the bell for action
last Thursday night at the Are
ma were six of the nations top
ranking wrestlers, all with one
goal, the big match on Novem-
ber 81 with Primo Carnera. The
bout with Camera means more
to the mat men than just what
meets the eye. A victory over
the towering Italian would
make the victorious man the
toast of the wrestling world. He
would be deluged with offers to
appear from coast to coast, his
name would be on the lips of
all sportsmen and most of all
his earnings would 60 into four
figures.
The interest in the Carnera
match is without equal in Cleve-
lands wrestling history. Reser-
vations are pouring in with the
spacious Arena capable of handl-
ing the largest indoor crowd in
the country. Ganson is encour-
aging the fans to get their tick
cts at Richman Bros. ticket Of
flee or at the Arena box office,
early. Camera thrilled a New
York audience few weeks ago
that included the top sports
writers of the country and was
written in many of the leading
magazines.

lmportont to Un-
employed Veterons

In a number of instances it
has been found that veterans
failed to properly qualify them
selves for Servicemen's Read
justment Allowances and have
understood the reporting re-
cause they apparently had not
suffered loss of payments be-
quirements in the Federal law.
Some of the most common
points of apparent misunder-
standing are listed below. To
fully protect his rights to al
lowances the veterans must fol-
low these instructions:
: First-He must report to the
claims taker in the Local Of
flee each week and the day and
hour established as his regular
reporting time.
Second-He must also report
as directed to the Employment
Service interviewer in the Lo-
cal Office for any suitable job
offers.
Third-In the event he has
become ill or has just returned
to work, and, as a result is un-
able to report at his regular time
in person, he must report this
fact by telephone or by some
other means to the Local Office
md request that arrangements
be made for him to file a claim.
Otherwise he may lose his rights
10 allowances for the week of
unemployment he failed to re-
port on time.
Fourth-In addition to being
registered for employment and
reporting each week at the Local
Office he also must be actively
seeking employment through
lis own personal efforts during
he week. Merely registering for
york is not sufficient. Readjust-
nent Allowances are a poor SUBJ
stitute for a job.
Fifth-He must report any
and all earning received during
my week for which he is claim
>ng REIMBURSEMENT allowances.
Sixth-If he is waiting on a
decision on his claim or if his
payments have been suspended
for any reason, he should report
each week, anyway, on his reg
ular reporting day.
Seventh-If he is planning on
moving to some other city and
wants to transfer his claim rec
ord-he must see a claims ex-
aminer before leaving.

Suit Is Filed
To Force
Referendum

Things began to happen
fast last week following
action by the Lucas County
Board of Elections setting
May 7 as the date for the ref
erendum on the controversial
Income-Payroll Tax ordinance
passed by City Council, January
20.
Leading the offense was the
Toledo Blade which attacked
Richard Gosser, UAW-CIO re-
gional director who has spear
headed the fight against the
payroll tax both before and
since its passage by Council,
Crux of the Blade editorial
entitled, "Mr. Gosser Says No"
was the statement, "there must
be thousands of people in Tole-
do who will be willing to pay
quarter or fifty cents or even
a dollar or so every week just
to show Mr.. Gosser that he
isn't giving them orders"
TIUC Defends GOSser
In reply to the Blade edito-
rial, delegates to the Toledo
Industrial Union Council meet
ing on March IA not only took
action to wage an active and
aggressive campaign against the
Income-Payroll Tax ordinance,
but assailed the tax and the To-
ledo Blade.
Leading the attack on the
Blade was Tom Burke, Toledo
Industrial Union Council execu-
tive secretary and City Coun-
Gil member who voted against
the payroll tax.
Burke labeled the Blades
statement that it was he who
brought up the income-payroll
tax in Council as a deliberate
falsehood and explained that
the resolution which he had of
fered was an entirely different
proposal than the payroll tax
which Council had passed.

Along with an across-the-
board pay raise of 1870, GIN
also agreed to eliminate in

Four members of the Auto

this week denied that they were
in favor of the payroll tax and
stated that they were not invited
to the Auto-Lite executive COM

was adopted.
Following is the committee
statement:
1--WE were as surprised as
everybody else in Toledo when
we read the statement issued by
John Begg, chairman of the
Auto-Lite Unit of Local IL,
UAW-CIO and the resolution
adopted by some, but not all the

1--WE want to express our un-
alterable opposition to the in
come-payroll tax for the same
reasons stated by Richard Gosser
and CIO, and at the same time
deny that those who signed the
resolution acted either for US as
members of the committee or for
the membership of the plant.
"The statement wa. made by
Mr.. Begg that he had not been
consulted relative to the tax. We
would like to point out that it is
not CLOS fault if the Auto-Lite

resolution fail to carry out their
duty of attending meetings of
