soft breezes calling you onto the highway
this is the season that Buick of yours was
made for!
This is the time when you'll want to hear the

feel of its thrilling action.
And you can have all that-with just little
attention to some simple things to shake the

Insurance Bill Opposition
Unveiled

Unveiled
Sub. H. B.-504, which legaliZes
group life insurance in Labor
Management contracts, has re-
ceived the OK. of the Senate
Insurance and Rules Committees
this week. AS this News Letter
was written, the bill was slated
for Senate vote before adjourn
ment, with the outcome in doubt.
The measure was made nee
essary by the Taft Hartley law,
which requires the administra-
ton of such insurance by
trustees. Such a setup is pres
emily illegal under Ohio law and
the bill will permit what the
Taft Hartley law requires. New
ertheleSs it has had slow sailing
in the Legislature and ran into
some mo" votes in the Senate
Insurance Committee
The trio of Cleveland Demo-
Gratis, who have opposed much
pro-Labor legislation this Ses-
sion, united in opposition. Boyd,
Joseph Bartunek and Edwin
SaWicki said mo, while Demo-
Gratis Charles Bartlett, Margaret
Mahoney, Edwin Welsh and Re-
publicans Fred Adams and Tom
Moorehead voted in favor of
the bill. Democrat Nicholas
Bernard didn't vote.
Undercover opposition to the
bill by the Ohio Association of
Manufacturers, who never testi-
fled, was revealed this week,
thus probably explaining the
Boyd -Bartunek-Sawicki opposi-
ton. The Manufacturers have
been conducting a quiet, off-in-
the-corner lobby against the bill.
Even Study Commission Con-
sidered Too Strong Medicine
The session-long fight about
repeal of the Ferguson law,
which prohibits strikes by pub
lie employees and yet gives
them no grievance or arbitra-
ton procedure, came to a puny
head this week when the Senate
Labor Committee voted out a
substitute bill which set up a
study commission to look into
the problems of public workers
and report back to the next Le-
gislature.
Even this mild and not-too-
meaningful bill erupted flood
of ham political oratory.
Senator Boyd Cd, Cuyahoga),
who had himself a big anti-La-
Dor week, in opposition to the
bill draped himself in the Amer
lean flag and shouted that I'VE
must not turn government over
to irresponsible, emotional and
unstable Labor leaders" =.
Senator Boyd was talking about
a feeble bill which would mere

problems in the field of public
employment.
Senators Bartlett Cd, Hamil-
toni and Howard Metzenbaum

tie, but when the fog of the de-
bate cleared away, the Senate
had refused to adopt the study
commission by vote of 10 yeas
and 18 nays,

Boyd, elected as a Clev'
consistently voted the Big
BUSINESS way, is fighting for
statewide rent decontrol. His
measure is possible under the
''home-rule" section of the new
federal rent control law.
Spokesman Shouts eve Were
Betrayed"
Before the hearing started,
Rev Wallace ]. Murphy, presi-
dent of the Tulsa (Okla.) Prop
erty Owners Association, made
speech to the 100 landlords,
most of them women. Murphy,
who last January advocated ma
tion-wide mass evictions as a
protest against rent control,
charged Congress had betrayed
the landlords. Now, he said, we
must look to the state legisla
lures.
Then in walked Boyd, the
new darling of the landlord
lobby, all decked out in his best
Sunday suit. The landlords arose
in body to applaud their
"hero". With only four senators
present, Chairman Arthur Blake
Cd, Belmont) opened the meet
ing and Boyd began rolling out
his ponderous oratory. Rent con-
troll was somehow tied up with
Karl Marx" said Boyd, and the
landlords dutifully applauded.
"We landlords won't stand for
federal bureaucrats telling us
how much rent we can charge, !"
the senator, a real estate dealer,
shouted, and the thrilled land
ladies clapped again.
He was followed by parade
of rooming house operators, who
claimed there was no housing
shortage and screamed they had
been singled out for special
punishment.
Then, while the landlords
audience Kissed and booed,
CLIO. representatives d
statistics of the dreadful short
:, age of low-rent homes in all
>Ohio cities. Pointing out that
only two states-Nebraska and
Texas-had decontrolled rents,
the CLIO. said, "Decontrol in
Ohio would mean rents would
Zoom at a time when unemploy-
ment is on the upgrade and
could well be the signal for
economic chaos in the state. )"
The landlords Kissed, of course.
Boyd Plays He's Prosecutor
CLIO. spokesmen displayed
classified ad pages of two Co.
lumbus papers to show the
housing units for rent. One
paper carried one ad, the other
had two listed-one house rent
ing for $100 a month, the other
for 5000. Boyd, playing at be-
ing prosecutor, tried to rough
1y cross-examine opposition wit
nesses, but couldn't answer. those
facts.
Other Labor organizations and
civic minded groups, testifying
in opposition, were also subject
ed to Boyd's fragrant, undigni-
fled wiSecracks, until Republi-
can Senator George Davies
(Fulton) threatened to leave the
hearing unless Boyd was curbed.
1t was obvious that the land
uord lobby wanted to stage a
demonstration and didn't expect
action this late in the session.
With the help of Boyd and Blake
they staged their show. Blake,
Boyd and Davies voted for the
bill. Senator w. H.. Daugherty
(Democrat) voted against it. AS
this News Letter is written, it
appears unlikely that the real
estate darling can get the extra
vote to pass his bill out of COM
mittee.
