COMMUNICATION

The following communication has been received by Charles w. Carter, Chairman of the Fact Finding Com mittee, and explains itself:
 In the May 7th issue of the En- pire, in the report of the Fact Find ing Committee, on page 3. notice statement made by MT. Guy, as follows:
 "O'Day told MT. Hillman that MT. Hawkins and MT. Card wanted to put that in the contract to take the work away from the longshoremen."
 did not make such a statement to MT. Hilburn. (Hillman) Further, MT. Hawkins or MT. Card did not at any time. to my knowledge. try to inject any such clause into the contract which we were negotiating. This contract was drawn up by MT. Card, and with a few minor changes was accepted by the mem bership of the I. w. A. on the rec ommendation of their International at Portland. Had Mir. Card or MT. Hawkins felt it necessary to insert such a clause, it is my opinion that they would have put it in the con- tract before submitting to the l. w. A. for consideration.
 This letter is not written with any idea of siding in with either of the disputing parties, but mere ly to correct an erroneous statement attributed to me.
 Yours very truly, (signed) = T. J. O'Day.

HUNDREDS OF CHILDREN ARE
 HOME SCH00LED
By DON WILLIAMS

CHARLESTON, w. Va.-At least 337 boys and girls in West Virginia dislike school vacations. They are the 'homebounds" who get their learning in small doses from trav- cling teachers.
 Infantile paralysis, heart trouble, whatever the cause. they're too sick to go to school. But their illness is physical, not mental. Their eager ness to learn is governed only by their physical strength.
 That's the story told by H. Cliff Hamilton, Supervisor of the State Division of Elementary Schools. Taking school to children who are unable to attend classes is a grow ing thing drought the United States, Hamilton says West Virgin ia, he adds, lis leading the move ment." It is a cooperative project of state and counties, limited at present only by the amount of money available. Last year there was $25,000. This year, there's $4O,- GOO. More could be used, Hamilton says. The state supplies the money. The counties supply the teachers.
 For some of the stronger boys and girls the teacher may arrive twice week, and hour at a time. For others. it may be half an hour, four times weekly. The controlling factor is the strength of the child. The lessons may be those of the first grade or of the senior year of high school
 Hamilton says homework must not be such as to overtax childs strength. despite the desire of the youngsters for bigger and bigger as- signments. Tests" with their at tendant tension must be kept to a minimum. But most of the home bounds who recover sufficiently to attend regular classes find they are abreast of the work.
 Of the 123 teachers, l2 are full- time and III are part-time. The full-timers may have l2 youngsters under their supervision. The part timers have one or two in the neigh borhood.
 Even with increased appropria- tions this year. it was necessary to say no" to some applicants for the second semester, Hamilton says. But the per capita cost is less than for youngsters in regular classes.

PRAISE AND AFFECTION
 HELP CHILD MUSICIANS

z SPOKANE, Wash.--Parents who wonder how to get junior to prac- tice his music lessons might pick ur some pointers from Ray K. Harris director band music for Spokane's elementary schools.
 Six years ago 19 children attended his first city band practice. Now 400 youngsters from 30 schools are band members. Harris has four all city bands and individual bands ii a score of grade schools.
 The progress reflects Harris abili- ty to inspire a genuine liking oi music-even the practicing.
 Harris expects his young musicians to work hard. To some his disci- pline might appear strict, but not to his students.
 "As a matter of fact I hate to dis oipline them" he says. T try tc smooth over a rough session. Nc group should ever leave with harc feelings"
 He doesn't avoid criticism, but ht is generous with praise.
 Children respond to affection, he says. T don't believe in being stingy with praise They must have encouragement. Who doesn't neec it?"
 His students must prove in in dividual tryouts that they haves earned promotion before they move up to better band.
 Finally Harris makes parents full partners in his musical projects.
 I'm on the phone all the time telling parents what should be done at home" he says. T ask all parents to attend our band rehearsals SC they can hear what is going on and then can recognize any weaknesses that can be remedied at home

MRS. N. I. ROSS iS REApp0INTED
 MINT DIRECTOR
Her Span of Service Has Seen U. 5. Gold Grow
 From Z 10 B Billion

WASHINGTON, Mrs. Nellie Taylor Ross thought home making was to be her lifelong career. tut she's been in public office since the death of her husband in 1924. Now President Truman has nominated her to serve another fiye-year term as director of the U S. Mint. If Congress approves the appointment this will be her fourth term. She was first named to the post in 1883 by President Roosevelt
 Mrs. Ross is @ little woman, dainty and feminine. She was married in September 1902, and before the death of'her husband her sole clanm to distinction was as a molel wife and mother and a charming hos tess. Her husband was governor of Wyoming. When he died in 1924 she was elected governor to fill out two years of his unexpired term. From that career she bounced into nation al politics, speaking for the nomina- tion of Alfred E. Smith in 1928 and four years later for Franklin D. Roosevelt's first candidacy.
 The public hears little of Mrs. Ross. She has neatly side-stepped publicity yet the U S. Mint, which boasts the largest gold horde in the world, has cone a colossal business under her direction. During the IS years she has been director, the mint has produced more coin than in all the previous years since it's organi- zation in George Washington's time.
 Her span of service has seen the governments stockpile of gold grow from $2,33S ,000, ,000 to well oyer 23 Billions. All of this gold has gone through the melting pot, and large part has been refined. During the same period the amount Of silver has grown from 28,000000 ounces to 1888 100000 ounces During the war the mint produced coins for foreign nations all over the globe and made medals for all the armed forces of the United States. During the peak year l945, the mint made g,0oO,000 medals.
 With the exception of the Goddess of Liberty, Mrs. Ross is the only woman to have her likeness on a medal or coin produced by the D.. s. Mint. Presidents, secretaries Of the treasury and mint directors automatically get medals struck for them. Mrs. Ross is the first woman to direct the mint. She is the first woman to have her name on the cornerstone of a Federal building.
 Mrs Ross said that once she got into the mint job she worked good and hard, found it fascinating and that's all there is to it. She says she works a good deal of the time on 24-hour seven-day basis, at top speed. Because of this pressure and the difficulty of getting tenants, she recently sold her century-old 20O- acre tobacco plantation in near by Maryland and 250-acre stock and grain farm in Virginia.
 She lives alone in an fashioned nine-room apartment in the capitol. It is filled with antiques she has collected from all parts of the coun- try. She says she would like to spend her next vacation just staying home"
