Tool Owners Union Is
Fascistic Says New
York Board

Montana daily newspaper readers
within the "orbit" of the Helena (non)
dependent-Record, will recall George
Sokolsky's mournful comments last
week regarding the Tool Owners I'm
ion, and it's inability to obtain chart
er from the New York state depart
ment of labor.
Mr.. Sokolsky, who besides being a
sydnicated columnist, is also a $1,000
per month employee of the National
Association of Manufacturers, spoke
glowingly on the fine American ira
ditions embodied in this so-called ''un-
ion" of tool owners-how legitimate
workers organization was being
Disseminated against by New York
state bureaucrats, ct cetra ct phooey.
However, Mr.. Sokolsky did not men
ton any of the reasons why. the TOU
was refused a charter. That the read
er may no longer be confused at the
strange" attitude of the New York
board, we quote the following from
it's statement made at the time the
charter application was refused:
"No more fascstc organization,
with all the potentiaIites for un-
democratic action and danger to
our way of life, has yet come before
the official attention of this board"
Why then Columnist Sokolsky's
tear-rending essay? Simply this, the
Tool Owners Union is popular front
for none other than the National AS
ISOLATION of Manufacturers!

Mcclellan May Win
Il Gordon Clapp
Is Rejected

! Sen. K. d. Mcclellan may come off
way ahead for his fight on David
E. LillienthaI, even though the former
iva head is confirmed through the
glancing blows which have been de-
livered to Gordon Clapp, nominee to
succeed Lillienthal.
Mcclellan, a political henchman of
Ed Crump, Memphis and Shelby coun-
ty political boss, is hungry for some
jobs for his followers on the IVA
payroll 1t is a hunger whetted by
IL years of frustration-and Clapp is
one of the TVA'ers who did it. AS
personnel director for time, CIapp
set up merit procedures which barred
many of McKellar's hopefuls who had
nothing to recommend them except
the senator's endorsement.
The TWAS refusal to become a pa
tronage pool for Crump and Mcclellan
has been particularly disappointing to
them. Crump is in full and absolute
control in Memphis and Shelby coun-
ty. But he needs patronage across
the state to strengthen his influence
in Tennessee state affairs. With a
subservient IVA, the Memphis polit-
ical machine might have placed hun
dreds of Tennesseeans from all over
the state in jobs, and built machine
of such obligated job-hOiders from all
counties.
The TWAS strict adherence to merit
did not permit such an operation, and
has proved such a disappointment to
KID" that he has battled the agency
bitterly at every opportunity.
Gordon Clapp, general manager of
IVA, will undoubtedly uphold merit
policies if made chairman. The fight
against him consequently is of top i'm
portance to the Crump machine =

VETERANS PREFERENCE
Vets To Be Given Ten-Point Pre-

Vets To Be Given Ten-Point Pre-
ference In Civil Service
A ten-point preference in Fed
eral Civil Service examinations is
given to veterans having a service
connected disability even when it
is rated under ten percent and
therefore non-compensable, ac-
cording to the U. S. Civil Service
Commission. Elaborating on this
point, the Commission states:
"Honorably separated veterans
who served on active duty in any
branch of the armed forces of the
United States = regardless of
whether service was performed in
time of peace, or during a war, or
in a campaign or expedition for
which a campaign badge has beer
authorized-an who establish by
official records the present exist
ence of a service-connected disabil-
ity or the current receipt of COM
pensation, disability retirement ben
efits or pension by reason of public
laws administered by the Veterans
Administration, the War Depart
ment, or the Navy Department are
entitled to ten point disability
preference"

TEAM REPORTS
GOOD PRACTICE
Sunday Batting P r a c t j C e
Finds Squad In Good
Condition
WILL ENTER LEAGUE

With over twenty candidates out
for the first practice, prospects for
the Smyrna Clayton v League
baseball team are encouraging.
After a three-hour period of bat
ting practice on the afternoon of
the 23rd, this years squad looks
to have even greater hitting power
and more speed than the team that
last year came up from fourth
place to win the play-offs and the
League Championship. The timing
and hitting control of the squad
was unusually good for this early
in the season. And if they bat as
effectively against fast and curve
ball pitching, the Smyrna-Clayton
team will have a Well-balanced and
strong offensive. During the after
noon devoted entirely to batting, a
good number of line drives were
sharply and accurately hit. Prob
ably more than fifty would un-
questionably have been singles, a
dozen or more would have gone for
doubles, four or five would have
been triples, and at least six would
have been home runs.
Some Long Drives Made
Deakyne, Lovegrove, and Robin
son drove a number of long balls
during the afternoon, some of them
clearing the left field fence more
than four hundred feet from home
plate. Defensively, the team is
bound to be improved. For there
are five or six experienced infield-
ers from last years team, three OF

DEPICTS LAST DAYS"

On Sunday night, March 80 at
7:30, the Adult Choir of Asbury
Methodist Church will sing one of
the classic oratorios of the Lenten
season "Ohvet to Calvary, by
j. H. Maunder. Originally sung in
England, where it has long been a
Lenten feature in some of the
major choirs, the composition has
lately been adopted by choirs here
in the United States and widely
acclaimed by all who have sung it
or heard it sung, as one of the
most stirringly beautiful compost
tons of all time. Recalling some
of the incidents in the last days of
the Saviour's life on earth, the
story commences with the Lords
Triumphant entry into Jerusalem,
follows him through the temple
where he dispersed the money
changers and on to the Mount of
Olives. The second part reflects
his betrayal and forgiveness; de-
picts his trial before PLATE where
he is found innocent by PLATE who
washes his hands of the matter by
turning Christ over to the fury of
the mob. The final part follows
Christ to the Cross on Calvary
where he is crucified. The Oratorio
will be sung in its entirely by the
full choir featuring tenor and bari
tone solos with supporting soprano
and bass solos and recitations.
The tenor solos will be sung by
Albert Newcomb of Smyrna, who
is recognized as one of the out
standing tenors of this area. John
w. Magill, u. S. NJ, of Guant-
anamo Bay, Cuba, will sing the
baritone solos. Throughout his
naval career, Mr.. Magill has sung
with many of the largest church
choirs in the United States, includ-
ing the Episcopal Cathedral in San
Francisco. Soprano solos will be
sung by Miss Constance Johnson,
who is considered one of the most
versatile and capable singers ever
to sing with the choir. Henry En-
mis- and Lloyd Jones, bass soloists

solos. Both Mr.. Ennis and Mr.

torio is under the direction of Mrs
