More Price Increases

WASHINGTON LPA)-U. S.
Steel President Benjamin Fair

Plain Talk
By
Tom Burke
Vice-Ndyor
City OF
Toledo

Practically everyone in the
Labor Movement in this area
knows by now that l have be-
come a candidate for Congress
from the Ninth Ohio Congress
sional District. There has been
some speculation as to my mo.
tives and reasons for becoming a
candidate.
This column you might well
call the introduction, the open
ing gun, of the campaign. 1t is
in the nature of an explanation
of the considerations which led
to my decision to run.
In making a decision of this
kind, many factors must be given
deep consideration. When you
are thinking through to a final
decision, your mind is swayed
hither and yon by each bit of
evidence, each phase and each
opinion of other people. You are
constantly appraising and reap
praising the reasons for present
ing your candidacy to the voters,
your relative chances with the
other candidates in the field, and
your fitness for the job you
seek.
Extremely important is the de-
cision which must come from
within. Each person has, to a
greater or lesser degree, an inner
urge for leadership and fame.
There is nothing wrong or shame
full in this urge as long as the in
Gividual develops his ambition
according to the rules
of his own particular game. He
must have regard for the rights
of others even though his chosen
field is highly competitive.
FIELDS
We are all fortunate that in
this nation there are so many
fields OF endeavor requiring lead
ership, because if there were
only one, we would have one
mad scramble. In totalitarian
states, fascist or communistic,
leadership is only possible in the
state. Therefore, the one with
the greatest amount of brute
strength liquidates all opposition
and attains leadership.
Considering all these factors,
arrived at my decision. AS far
as that inner urge goes, l have
had the ambition for a number
of years to sit in the halls of
Congress. On the chance to win
factor, l believe this to be the
year of opportunity. On fitness
for the job, l believe that l have
served sufficient time in the
State Legislature and the City
Council to become thoroughly
acquainted with legislative
work.
In 1914. I first made known
my desire to try for Congress.

several terms in Congress and

Send Lake Work
To Begin Soon
To Erect Cabins
In Neor Future

Preparations and plans for the
beginning of the expansion pro-
gram of Local 12's Children's
Camp located at Sand Lake,
Mich. are going forward and
work will begin as soon as there
is a break in the weather, it was
announced early this week by
Gosser, eanpspresident.
The camp president stated that
Is additional cabins would be
erected to house the increased
number of children who will
be accommodated by the camp
during the 1948 season. Addi-
tional work will be required to
increase the camps other facili-
ties to handle 1900 children be-
tween June 20 and August %.
Mr.. Gosser said that lumber
would be delivered to the camp
as soon as the weather is fit for
outside work and that other
equipment would be added as
rapidly as possible. He pointed
out that the expansion program
was costly and expressed the
hope that the members of the
union and those who have shown
an interest in the project would
be generous in their financial
support.
Founded last year by Vice
President Gosser, the Local IL
Summer camp provided super
vised vacation for 400 children.
With the expansion program,
this number will be increased to
1900 this season.

Said Vice-President Cos
SER" This camp which is
making its contribution to the
welfare of Toledo through its
children is worthy of the con-
tributions of all Toledoans who
are interested in children and the
good of the community. We
showed good results this year
and believe that our work will be
given the financial backing of
those who recognize what we are
accomplishing"
Mr.. Gosser added, 1--WE will
gladly accept donations large or
small, but hope that we will re.
ceive some large donations from
people who have regulations for
being interested in the welfare
of the children. Some of these
have already given, and we thank
them for their gifts but we need
much more to carry out our ex.
panded program to give more
children the benefit of the camp.
Donations may be mailed di-
rectly to Howard Rediger, AIS

X-ray can find TB in the early

when the patient has the best
chance for a complete recovery.
tuberculosis is communicable, as

The Washington office of the JACL

The conferees met for the first
time Jun 8. but the session ended
in an abrupt deadlock over the Sc
nate amendment to the House-ap-
proved measure. which would re-
quiro that an alien in every case
would have to secure affirmative
sanction by Congress before sus-
pension or cancellation of his de-
portation order becomes final The
Senate insists upon its amendment
while the House objects on the
grounds that it would create new
determinations to European aliens.
Both Houses, it appears. agree
on ono of the major provisions of
the bill. which would broaden the
class of aliens eligible for discre-
tionary relief from deportation to
include Japanese and others ineli-
gjble to citizenship. With less than
ten days remaining before the end
