UNIV ExpIoins
AFL Breakup

WASHINGTON, Jan. z (LPA)
- In a letter to local unions
which appeared last week for the
first time in United Construction
Workers News, official organ of
the United Mine Workers affili-
ate, the UMW's President John
L. Lewis gives the reasons for
its disaffiliation from the AFL.
The UNIV chief says that "the
small group of men who now
control the policies of the AFL"
have developed an increasing
hostility towards the UNIV and
It's policies" Further payment of
per capita to the AFL would not
be in the interests Of the
miners" he continues.
An accompanying article in
UCW News reminds its readers
that William Hutcheson, presi-
dent of the Brotherhood of Car.
penters-AFL, "belatedly," was
the only member of the AFL ex-
council to support Presi-
dent John L. Lewis in his fight
for "a militant stand against the
odious slave law"
Quoting Lewis speech to the
AFL national convention that
united AFL opposition to egis-
resulted in the laws being COM
tering under the act would have
pletely discredited, UCW News
accused the AFL of accepting the
non-Communist affidavit provi-
sion of the act as IAN opportun-
ity to profit at the expense of
rival unions"

the Department is "to damned
scared" of the Congress.
Must Empower Marshall
Unless, Carey said, the u. S.
wants to give Secretary of State
Marshall the power to talk for
all parts of American political
and economic life - just as the
Soviet Union gives all powers to
Foreign Minister Molotov - it
is essential that u. S. labor, busi.
ness and farm groups deal with
their opposite numbers" in the
European nations.
The CIO official repeated his
previous insiStence that the five
to. three vote on the Marshall
Plan was the first occasion when
the Communist-dominated unions
had broken with the non-com-
munist unions. Up until now,
he said, "the trade union move
mentS of eastern Europe have
committed all of their crimes in
the name of improving the con-
ditions of the working people.
The European Recovery Program
is the first time they have de-
waited from this"
He predicted that the split in
the French labor movement be-
tween Communists and non-Com-
munists will result in two affili-
ates to the WFTU from that
country, and reiterated the CLOS
of Leon Jouhoux,
leader of the non-Communist
union forces in France.

'DiSaIIe> Burke
Named ToTwo
Top Positions

For the first time in many
years, the Democrats found
themselves in control of the
legislative branch of the city
government and followed
through by electing Michael v.
Disable, Mayor, and Tom Burke,
three-term council-member, Vice
Mayor.
Mr.. DiSalle's election by a
vote of to 4 followed the party
alignment with the Republican
Council members voting for for
mer Mayor Lloyd E. Roulet. Mr..
Disable was nominated by Coun-
Gilman J. B. Simmons while Mr..
Roulet was placed in nomina-
ton by Councilman Arthur M.
JurruS.
Following the election of Mr..
Disable, Councilman Tom Burke
nominated Mr.. Roulet. AS Coun-
Gilman j. B. Simmons rose to
second the nomination, Mr.. Rou-
let stated that he would not ac-
cept the nomination. Mayor Di-
Sale, chairing the meeting, ruled
Mr.. Roulet out of order and re-
quested Mr.. Simmons to continue
with his seconding speech.
Burke Is Nominated
After Mr.. Roulet had declined
to stand for the vice-mayor's
post, Councilman William E. Gal
vim, speaking for the first time
as a new member of Council,
placed the name of Tom Burke
in nomination. Councilman Ollie
Czelusta then nominated Arthur
M. Jurrus and the 5-4 vote was
again repeated with Mr.. Burke
being declared elected.
The new Mayor thanked Coun.
ell and said that the Council
would conduct itself as a non
partisan body. "Even though
you're just a sort of a mayor, it
is still a great honor to serve" !"
he said.
Unanimously selected to serve
as Clerk of Council was Carl F.
Diefenbach, while Sergeant Leo
Wonderly was the unanimous
choice for the post of sergeant.
alarms. Diefenbach was serving
the unexpired term of term of
Lawrence w. Davis, who died
last year.
Post Not Filled
The post of city auditor, now
held by Rudy Klein, was not re-
appointed as Mayor Disable
pointed out that under the city
charter the Mayor makes the ap-
pointment and he was not pre-
pared to name an auditor. Mr..
Klein will continue at his present
post until Mr.. DiSalle's appointee
is submitted to Council for ap-

Bill, as he is known to his
fellow workers, began his en-
ployment with the S. M. Jones
Co. Jan. 6, 1898. During his so
years with the company, he has
seen many changes in industrial
production methods although as
a heater in the company's forge
department, his job has changed
but little.
Vice President Richard Gosser
recognized Bills anniversary
with a large basket of flowers
and a congratulatory message in
which he complimented the vet
eran employee and called him
"a credit to all workers"
Frank Oatman, compan
treasurer, said that the veteran
would be the guest of honor at
a dinner given by the company
Wednesday evening at the Com
modore Perry Hotel and would
be presented with a suitable gift
in recognition of his many years
of faithful service.
Despite his II years and an
accident which laid him up for
IL weeks last fall, Bill is enjoy
ing excellent health and is not
planning on retiring. Fellow
employees say he is still pro-
ficient worker and express the
belief that he will be good for
a long time to come.
The veteran employee has
been a member of the S. NJ.
Jones unit ever since its organi-
zation. He lives with his wife

Summer Camp
Fund Drive
Is Announced

Opening OF the l94o drive
for funds for the Local II
Boys and G iris Summer
Camp was announced this
week by UAW Vice Presi-
dent Richard Gosser, camp pres
ident.
The drive which will get un-
der way at once, has for is pur-
pose securing funds to assist in
completing additional C a b n S
needed to house a larger num-
ber of boys and girls during the
coming su m er. The camp
which accommodates 100 chill
dren during each two week S
camping period will be ex.
panded in order to handle 225
children during g the coming
camping season.
In announcing the opening of
the fund drive, Mr.. Gosser
stated that solicitors would call
upon the various organizations
and individuals who showed
their interest in the camp when
it was established last year. The
sound movie, Building For To-
morrow" showing the many ac-
tivities of the camp is available
for organizations who are inter-
ested in observing the work
which the camp is doing, he
said.
To Head Drive
Howard Rediger, international
representative attached to the
office of r e gi o n a l Director
Charles Ballard will again head
the drive for funds. Letters and
information on the camp are
now being sent out to organ
izations and individuals.
The camp which is located at
Sand Lake, Mich. was estab-
llSheA last year ana accepted
398 sPys and girls during the
camping periods. This number
will be- increased to approx
mately 900 during the coming
season necessitating the build
ing of additional cabins and
other facilities to handle the
larger number of children.
Mr.. Gosser in explaining the
reason for the camps expansion
said, 1--WE discovered last sum-
mer that more boys and girls
than we could d accommodate
wanted to attend the camp. 1t
is our belief that we can give
many more boys and girls the
benefits of the camp without
sacrificing the efficiency of the
camp personnel or detracting
from the work being done. We
believe that we can make a
greater contribution to the well
fare of the community by ex-
panding our facilities"

nations future. He was far in
advance of his day."
President Murray wrote "The
problems with which Altgeld
struggled - monopoly practices,
entrenched greed and protection
of the rights of workers - are
still facing the nation. His rec.
ord of fearlessnesS and intelli-
gence still shines as a beacon to
guide us in meeting our prob
lens in the ways of militant de-
mocracy."

erage of immediate union prob
lens.

1t was only fitting that Will

PUBLIC HEALTH
Helen c. Joseph

Health Educator for the ". /.
Department of Health, ST. Thomas
Parents who would do their
best to protect the health of
their children, should consid-
er one Of the important ways
of doing so-through immuni-
zation.
Immunization is not avail
able for all the diseases which
are likely to affect children,
but against diphtheria, whoop-
ing cough, smallpox, and te-
tanus which produce many
deaths when they attack the
young, we do have this par
ticular type of protection.
Doctors advocate that child
rem should be immunized
against these diseases as early
as possible. 1t is true that when
a child is born, he brings with
him an immunity or resistance
against certain diseases, de-
pendent in part, upon his mo-
theirs resistance and the di-
sease she has had. But this ma
tural immunity exists only for
certain diseases, whooping
cough being one of the notable
exceptions. Moreover this type
of immunity is lost after a few

American section the men
very close to the actual condi-
tons, and very capable in
themselves. Headed by Mr..
Canaday, the American dele
cation is well represented.
FOR the West Indian group,
the solution to problems lie in
agriculture, industry and the
tourist trade, and as time pas
ses the effect of careful plan
ming knitting the entire group
into a solid unit will show its
effects. Had this conference
been opened even ten years
ago we would have felt their
good effects more today.
EVERYONE in the Virgin
Islands joins with the entire
group in backing to the fullest
this Conference, out of which
will come a clearer vision for
the future.

months.

Artificial immunity which
can usually be maintained for
an appreciable period of time.
can be built up with inocula-
tons of the organism or germs
which produce the disease or
their products. The organisms
injected are either weakened
or non-living. They are not suf
ficiently powerful nor numer-
Gus to cause a full-blown case
OF the disease, but they do sti-
mulate the body to produce
certain factors called antibod-
les which have the capacity to
resist, dispose of, or DESTROY
subsequent invasions of the
dlsease-producing organisms
or their products.
Medical science has devel-
oped a triple vaccine, D P T.,
which builds up resistance
against Diphtheria, Petussis or
Whooping Cough, & Tetanus.
Vaccinations against smallpox
or injections against certain
other disease are given separ-
ately. Three doses are usually
required.
In the Virgin Islands, the
Health Department advocates
that the child'S immunization
program be begun when he is
two months old. This service
can be obtained privately, or
at one of the Public Health
Clinics which are held at the
hospitals, and at Carenage,
Herrick School, Munroe
School, Savan, and the South
side, in st. Thomas; at Grove
Place in St. Croix; and at Ca
labash Boom and Cruz Bay in
st. John.
When a parent neglects to
secure immunization for his
child against disease for which
immunization is available, and
his child comes down with the
disease, and perhaps dies from
its effects, that parent may be
considered responsible. There
is no excuse for failure to pro-
tect children against disease
through immunization.

EDITORIAL
THE THIRD WEST INDIAN CONFERENCE

~ AAAANSC
1.-THE THIRD biennial West Indian Conference, as an
nounced previously, will open at Guadeloupe on Wednesday,,
December l, and run through December ID. This conference,
as have all the Others, bears Importance to the Virgin Islands
in that it gives an opportunity for the laying of plans for the
social and economic development of the area of which we are
a part. The agenda, also previously announced will deal with
the agricultural, commercial and industrial development Of
the various groups. 1t is hoped that out of these conferences
will come the solution of many a problem bearing onus here
and the entire West Indian group. With air travel what it is,
and having much in common it would be impossible for us to
think in terms of the development of a particular section ex-
cept as it affects everyone of us.
FOR H first time the conference will come to order
with its new chairman of the United States section, Ward
Murphy Canaday. No better selection could have been made,
for it is known that Mr.. Canaday is not only a very capable
executive, but a man whose understanding and synpathies for
the welfare of these Islands run deep. Nor is he new to official
Washington. During World War / he was a member Of the
War Industries Board. He backed the passage of the National
Housing Act in 1888, and was director of the Federal Hous-
ing Administration. 1t is gratifying, then, that Mr.C anaday
will take with him the good wishes of all the people of the
Virgin Islands and the entire group, where he is known and
respected.
ANOTHER VERY significant appointment with refer
ence to the conference is that of Attorney William F. Moor
head, of st. Crox. As vice president Of the St. Croix Chamber
OF Commerce, and an active practicing attorney, he knows and
understands the problems of these Islands first-hand, and his
deep interest in our welfare is mquestioned. 1t must always
be remembered that men make conferences, and only as men
take with them to the conference table the deep faith and I'm
derstanding of the things they speak of will the conference be
successful And that is why there is such qualification that

Michigan S Team SET
For Bitter Struggle
With Ohio State
BY the Associated Press

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Nov. 19.-
For the first time in four years
Michigans traditional football
windup with Ohio State tomorrow
at Columbus has direct bearing on
the Big Nine championship. That's
one way of saying there's trouble in
the air for somebody.
Coach Bennie Oosterbaan, one
victory away from q clean sweep in
his first season at the Michigan
helm, didn't have to dig into an
cient history for evidence to show
his team the dangers of putting
title hopes against the Buckeyes on
their own lot.
On two Of Michigan's last three
visits to Columbus the Wolverines
could have tied for the conference
championship by winning. Both
times they lost, 81 to in 1912 and
18 to IA in 1914. and Ohio State
tucked away the crown.
This year the Buckeyes can't gain
even a part of the title, but if they
can rise up to smash Michigan's
22-game winning streak they can
prevent the Wolverines winning 1t
outright for the second straight
year.
Northwestern could tie Michigan
for the crown by beating Illinois
provided the Bucks win from the
Wolverines.
That's Oosterbaan's concern as he
puts the finishing touches on a
Michigan attack built around his
sophomore hot shots, Chucking

Of Davis this week." said Bo.
"The only linemen I want to see
behind Andy are Georgetown's."
All things considered, how did
Bo like his first year in Wash
ington?
Fine" he replied. Every
body's treated me wonderfully
well. I enjoy being around
people and talking to people who
are interested in football and
who want to build up the game.
The boys at the Touchdown Club
have been great to me and the
university officials and the
alumni have co-operated 100
per cent.
BEST Of all I've liked working
with the squad we have. We
haven't had the slightest bit Of
dissension. I say that honestly,
and that's unusual when a team
hits some rough spots. This is
the first year I can remember
coaching football when I didn't
have q single disciplinary prob
lem. I don't know how many
other coaches have q squad with
that sort Of record"
Then the future looked rosy ut

This is a long-range program
as see it," said Bo. Were not
going to blossom out into a great
football team overnight. It will
take time, but think 1t can be
done. I didn't jump into this
thing without looking. I knew
the situation and I thought we
could play football here and de-
velop a team that will win its
share of games and keep up the
interest of fans, students and
alumni. Now I'm sure 1t can be
done, but we need a little time. +"
Did Bo think suficient i'm

Saturday to give G. w. its first
victory over Georgetown in their

Gently. 1T should be three times

On paper G. w. doesn't figure
to win, but hope springs eternal
and the folks around the G street
campus have their fingers
crossed. After all, they do have
something Georgetown doesn't
have-a little guy in a green
coat who doesn't seem to know
when his team Is licked.
