On Union AffiIiation
In Loyalty Checkup

Henry Beitscher, president of the
Washington Industrial Union Coun-
Gil, said today he would refuse to list
his trade union afiliation on the
Governments loyalty QUESTIONABLE
because the effect of the question is
ito intimidate Government workers
by giving them the impression that
union membership has something to
do with loyalty"
Mr.. Beitscher, a civil service en-
ploye in the Commerce Department,
also is member Of the United Pub
lie Workers of America (CIO).
His decision not to answer fully
Question II on the QUESTIONABLE
being circulated by the FBI was
regarded. by Daniel H. Schwartz,
regional director of UPWA, as an
opportunity to test the legality of
the question, which asks workers to
list all organizations to which they
belong except religious and political.
1--WE welcome the case as a
method of challenging the require
ment for listing trade union affilia-
lions and in the hope of obtaining
a formal opinion for the Attorney
General" said Mr.. Schwartz.
Mr.. Beitscher said he would
answer all questions on the loyalty
report with the exception of includ-
ing his union aff1liation in ques-
ton No. II.
He said he felt he was sufficiently
identified without having to answer
a question which violates the spirit
Of the Lloyd-LaFollette act guar
anteeing Government workers the
right to organize.
Mr.. Schwartz emphasized that the
bulk of UPWA workers had been

Rise in Work Load
In Annual Report

The District Parole Board today
urged full support of the Depart
ment of Corrections in its program
for rehabilitation and vocational
training in local prisons.
At the same time the board, in its
annual report for the year ending
last June, predicted an imminent
increase in parole work. The an
ticipated increase was attributed to
added jurisdiction given the board
IN misdemeanor cases and the pro-
provision permitting the board to
petition the court for q reduction
In a prisoners minimum sentence.
Another factor likely to increase
the work volume, the report said. is
the new law permitting parole vio-
lators to be represented by counsel
at violation hearings.
vocational training is an essen
tial part of the overall correctional
process in the attempt to rehabili-
tate offenders so they may be bet
ter prepared to re-enter society
when released by parole" the report
said.
The report acknowledged the sup
port Of the District Commissioners
toward strengthening the board.
During the last year, according to
the report, SIT personal hearings
were conducted. including 1ls viola
ton cases. In the same period. the
board had under supervision si1
paroled prisoners. for whom 81 war
rants had to be issued for violation
OF parole conditions or 10 per cent
Of the total.
The report said 523 good time"
releases were under supervision
during the year, with 102 violation
warrants issued, or 1875 per cent of
the total.
During the fiscal year ending June
80, 1916, the board had a case load
OF SAL paroled prisoners. of whom
81 were re-arrested for parole VIOLA
tions, or 9 per cent. There were s5
parole violators among the SIS
