Behind the
Scenes In
Politics
BY
Clayton
Rusch
Chairman

Political Action Committed
The Toledo CIO Is going
on the air again. We are go
ing to carry our case to the
people. Labor'S Side of the
News will be q regular fea-
ture over Station WTOL at
1870 P. M. each Saturday.
Everyone should make
note of the time and make a
special point to remember to
tune In.
On this program we are 60
ing to tell about things which
are either underplayed or not
printed in the daily press. The
purpose of this program shall
be to acquaint the people with
the objectives of the labor
m OVEN ent and to show
that our aims and aspirations
are bound up with the .wel-
fare Of the entire population.
We shall attempt to deal
fairly with all current social
issues. We will pull no
punches in defending our
views, but we recognize that
the success or failure of our
program is dependent upon
the extent the people under
stand and support it. There
fore, the aim of our Radio
Program will be to tell the
truth as we see 1t and to
clearly present our own posi-
ton on the issues.
We are going to acquaint
the radio listeners with the
various anti-labor and anti
social bills now before Con-
gress.
GOOD BILLS
Various speakers will ex-
plain the few good bills now
before Congress. We will go
into all the phases of the eco
nomic, political, legislative,
and social program of the CIO.
We will discuss: a lasting
peace, full employment, ade-
quate housing, how to defend
Labor's rights and many re-
lated topics.
Labor which actually rep
resents a majority of the pub
lie and not a minority as many
people mistakenly believe)
has been attacked and mis-
represented so often that
everyone owes 1t to them
selves to hear our side Of the
basic issues.
1t Is our intention to utilize
the ideas and suggestions of
those who want to help make
this program a success. Ideas
and suggestions will be ap-
preciated. They should be
mailed to myself at 425 Win
throp st. or Gil Huron st.
Or phone for an appointment
MA. 9126.
The first program which
will 60 on the air February
~ will deal with Labor's Pro-
posal for a Sound Tax Plan.
Ralph Mason of The Spicer
Unit of Local IL UAW-CIO
will appear on this broad
cast.
Programs of the near fu-
ture Will cover the Labor
Management-Citizens Com.
mittee, Labor and Religion,
Housing, Wages and Prices
and related subjects.
SPEAKERS
Speakers who will shortly
be heard on Labor'S Side of
the News include Richard
GoSser, Director Region 2-B

ecutivs Secretary of the To-
ledo Industrial Union Coun-

the TOLEDO UNION JOUR-
NAL; Melvin Schultz, Presi-
dent Of Local IL UAW-CIO
and Chester Kapela, Manager

On this program we shall
use free speech as 1t should
be used. We are not going to
stir up any unjuStified antag-
onisms. We are not going to
tell any lies about our enc
mics. We do intend to truth
fully present Labor's Side and

Aluminium cleaners have failed.
Answer. You may be able to find

pitting Of aluminium ware, never
soak the utensiles in strong solu-

Product Makes
Woterproofing Of
Walls Easy Job
By HiIson Munsey

Waterproofing the basement or
the exterior of the house is always
a problem. Prior to the war, there
was a product on the market that
did this job very efficiently. The
basic materials was rubber and that
was practically unobtainable during
the war. This product now has re-
appeared. 1t is a transparent liquid
that will treat brick, concrete,
stucco, wood shingles and other sur
aces both inside and out-of-doors.
Though the manufacturers do, not
mention 1t, it will, when applied
over paint, prevent the staining of
woodwork from copper screening
and can be wiped clean very easily.
This I know from personal expert
ence.
Before the war, I painted the sills
of the windows on my porch and tho
paint is as good today as when first,
applied. It can also be used effec-
lively as a sealer for new or old
plaster walls before decorating. 1t
can be colored and used as a paint
by mixing into the liquid dry color
or color ground In oil.
Acid Proof Surface.
It is advisable to use two coats,
either brushed or sprayed on, to
obtain the best results. The material
does not merely cover the surface
but penetrates into the pores Of the
material and then hardens to make

year-old former Army and Royal
Air Force pilot who was in service
during the war for three and a
half years. Mr.. Lamborne is presi-
dent of Greenwood Terrace, Inc,

There's something else rather un-
usual about the project-parents
with children will be welcome.
1--WE have children, too." said Mr..
Lamborne, 80 don't worry, children
won't keep any one from getting
an apartment here"
incidentally, the owners already
have been deluged with far more
applications than they can accom-
modate but are still accepting others
for later considerations

ginning of construction. financing
was arranged for with Washington
bank and architects plans were
drawn up and reviewed by FILA.
The postwar business, the veterans
find, has it's headaches. Prices on
steel and other products have risen
since orders were placed, and labor
costs have gone up. Even the
weather, at first, hampered che
work. But the project now is "in
the groove" they said, and progress

Final arrangements ar e
being made by the Local II
Golf Committee for the an
nual tournament to be held
on Saturday, August %, at
one of the popular courses in
the Toledo district.
1t was at first planned to
hold two tournaments because
of the large number of Local IL
golfers who are ready to par
ticipate, but because of the scar
city of golf courses available, the
tourney will be limited to one
days play on the above date.
Tentative arrangements h e
been made by the committee for
one of the most popular courses
here, and the exact location for
the tourney will be announced
in the next issue of the Toledo
Union Journal.
| Members of the committee in
charge of the urney are
Charles Johnson, of the Champ
ion Spark Plug Unit, chairman;
Earl ord way, Spicer Unit;
Charles Ballard, WHY'S Unit;
Herman Beck, Airway Unit;
Walter MadrzykoWski, Interna-
tional Representative; Ted Mo.
drowski, American Can Unit.
and Birdie Rule, Local IL Rec
reation Director.
Besides the round of golf for
the players, they will receive a
warm lunch, refreshments and
entertainment. There will be
plenty of prizes both for the
players and also for those who
attend the day-long outing just
for the entertainment.
AS in the past years, the TOUR
nament will be a handicap af-
fair so that the mediocre players
will have chances at the prizes.
However, there will also be
prizes for the low score, longest
drives, longest puts, and best
shots to the cup on a short hole,
besides many other awards.
The prizes to be awarded will
be on display throughout the
tournament play and will be
given to the winners at the end
of the days program. There will
be no waiting for awards at this
tourney.

After five weeks of waiting,
the Local IL All-Star baseball
team is still trying to play the

To date, only one game has
been played, that being an ex-
hibition game on Decoration Day
which the Local IL team took
handily from the VFW team,

Rainy weather or wet grounds
has been the reason for the de-
lay and Manager Joe Schuette
is hoping that the weather will
permit a game next Sunday aft
ernoon when his Union players
engage Arnold's Appliances al
3 o'clock on the Ottawa Park
diamond.
Unfavorable spring weather
has delayed the opening of base
ball and softball leagues in To.
ledo this season. There are more
than 800 teams playing in or
ganized leagues this year in the
city.
Billy Avent, formerly with
the Old Dutch team, has been
signed by Manager Schuette to
assist with the catching duties
on the Local IL All-Stars' out

in the American, Division
with five wins and no losses.
In the American Division,
Gordon Bumper pulled one out
of the fire" when they over
came a seven run lead against
the Plaskon outfit. Plaskon
chalked up seven runs in the
first two innings and it looked
like the first defeat for Gordon,
but they played heads up ball
and made every break count
for the 8 to Z victory.
Industrial Heat Treat and
Peerless Plastics waged a slt j
fest in their contest which the
Heat Treaters copped by the
close score of II to IL.
Another close game was
played by the Hall Mfg. Unit

which ended in a 4 to 3 win
for the Joint Council. Mather

best in the Division had to stage
a real rally to gain the to 2
victory over Martin-Parr Will

leaders when they took a hard
earned win from the Acklin
Stampers. 1t was a much closer
fought game than the 10 to

In the National Division of
the League, Spicer has a clean
slate for the lead spot, having
knocked Champion from the
unbeaten list, Champion went
into second place and Toledo

Die Casting for third position.
In another slugfest which
saw both teams getting many
extra.base hits, the Airway Unit
team broke into the win column
by taking a II to Is close vic
tory over the American Brake
Shoe softballers. Although there
were many runs scored, the fans
were kept in state of excite
ment as the score was very
close during the entire gamet
The Toledo Scales turned l.. a
lop-sided win over the PAC
nine as they collected a total
of 13 runs to top the 5 scored
by PAC. In the remaining Ma
