Reuther 0verwhe|ms
Election Opposition,
Seeks Full Control
By the Asseeioted Press

MILWAUK KEE. July 13.-
Stronger than ever and starting
his newly-won third presidential
term, Walter Reuther sought to-
day to make absolute his control
Of the C1O-United Auto Workers.
This goal was regarded by OBJ
servers at the unions convention
as a possibility. but no cinch.
The achievement hinged on
election Of the UAW Executive
Board. scheduled for today.
All four top officers won hands
down reelection late yesterday
over weak. left-wing opposition
that was only a ghost of another
faction that once dominated the
million member UAW.
Mr.. Reuther overpowered w. G
Grant. ex-president of the big
Ford Local 600, by a 12-to-1 mar
gin. The final but unofficial vote
count was 5000 to 672. Mr.
Reuther will hold office until the
next convention m April, 1851.
His three top aides won their
second terms about as easily.
Secretary treasurer Emil Macy
beat out James Lindahl of Detroit
Packard Local 100.
Gosser, Livingston Re-elected
Richard T. Gosser and John w
Livingston held onto their vice
presidencies with resounding de-
feats OF William H. Johnson OF
Detroit and John de Vito of Cleve
land.
All four candidates who ran
against the Reuther slate were
nominated by a group of left
wingers-some of them admitted
Communists-known as the Pro
gressive Unity Caucus
The opposition was of a far
different caliber than at the last
convention in Atlantic City, 20
months ago.
At that time Mr.. Reuther had
only nominal opposition from Mr..
De Vito but that of Mr.. Macy,
Mr.. Livingston and Mr.. Gosser
was we'll known and we'll organ
ized.
Thomas Faction Disintegrates
But even the Reuther forces
mustered enough strength for Mr..
Macy to beat George F. Adde's.
the unions only Secretary-treas-
urer up to then. Mr.. Livingston
and Mr.. GoSser had only a Slight
ly easier time ousting R. J. Thomas
and Richard T. Leonard.
The Thomas Adde's Leonard
faction has virtually disintegrated
since then. Mr.. Thomas. a UAW
president for years, and Mr.. Leon
ard have joined the CIO as reg
ional directors and Mr.. Adde's has
left the union movement.
With the four top Offices tight
in their grip, all that was left
for the Reuther forces to win was
unanimous and unwavering sup
port on the UAW Executive Board.
This has been made up Of the four
top officers and 10 regional di-
rectors.
Since the last convention So
called anti-Reutherites have had
four seats on the board.
In recent months, however, two
Of the regional directors have
swung over almost completely to
the administration side.

CHRISTMAS-1949

At this time of the year many persons enjoy reread ing the Christmas Caro It is Dickens at his best us ing his great talents to show his readers the difference between Scrooge before and after he looked Christmas in the face and heard it's merry voicehe difference be- tween selfish miserly old and happy radiant boy
 This is among the best of the Christmas blessings be- it restores for few brief hours to childhood days To forget ones childhood to forget much of the best that life has brought Some things still vealed to little children that the years have hidden from the wise and prudent We to renewing our youth at Christmas than at any other time of the year
 Much Christmas has meant to humanity it has meant no less to those owler creatures who share with lifes joys and sorrows.
 The Spirit of Christmas is the eternal foe of cruelty No who yields to it's sway look with other than kindly eyes upon the least of those living things that have capacity for pain.
 Christmas is day of hope It brings the promise of better future It witnesses to something that lives be- hind the shadows that darken the present and the evil that threatens the future.
 What the burden of suffering that rests upon the animal world today it is less by many fold than it before that night when little Child born in the stable in Bethehem.-Our Dumb Animals.

GODS SON WAS BORN ON EARTH

(By Rev. Robert Treaty
 Flo rthe very first time mother held her baby shepherds and told of the message: Peace on earth good will toward men" and the world in the hushed expectancy that all men know at the breath taking hour of birth wondered at the words For unto you Saviour is born"
 Only blind hearts say just baby' even though this one was born in stable. The Wise Men may have wondered but eyes of faith helped them what the busy self-centered missed: God was born among His people, where they lived, and worked and prayed This was birth that to change the manager to a shrine. It only mother holding her baby, but it event that was to change your life and mine. . The calendar changed-the tax that seemed so unjust is remembered something that happened that year. and the people that almost all their lives had been ruled by one nation another remembered the people who gave birth to-and rejected-the Christ
 And so God was born earth land came to His own, and His own received Him not-except here and there and there God grant the simple vision of the shep herds and the faith of the wise men, let His life to us.

Builders Give Hints
On Better Methods
Office HouseWork

CHICAGO.-The national associa-
ton of building owners and man.
ayers has come out with some hints
for better office housekeeping. Here
are the suggestions:
Get rid of cuspidors. They are
outmoded and ~unsanitary and
create a floor hazard.
Keep desks, tables and cabinets
away from the walls. They may
mar the paint and plaster. Lack
Of space between furniture and the
walls makes it hard on the cleaning
lady.
Keep casters on swivel chairs,
typewriter stands, and other NOV
able equipment oiled. Defective
casters damage floor coverings.
If you want to pin up something,
pin it on a cork bulletin board. Keep
notices and charts off the walls.
Use desk calendars.
Keep floors and the tops Of cabi-
nets free Of books, magazines, pa
pers, samples, etc. They collect
dirt.
There is no reason why our
office homes should not be kept as
neat and smart looking as our
homes" says the association

Newspaper Secret Award
Solves Mystery of Murder

CHICAGO.-The Chicago Sun.
Times has disclosed that it's $780,.
900 "secret witness" reward plan
succeeded in solving the murder OF
a wealthy 79-year-old recluse.
A reader sent the paper a coded
clue that solved the year-old STAY
ing and resulted in the arrest and
confession of Calvin Hoffman, %,
the Sun-Times said.
Under the simple code system
set up by the Sun-Times, the paper
did not know the name of its secret
tipster and it probably never will
be learned.
Hoffman confessed to Police
Capt. Harry Deas and assistant
states attorney Abbey Blattberg,
that he was one of a gang of six
men who beat Herman Engelhard
to death in a robbery attempt that
netted only $12, the paper said.
Police also arrested Mrs. Earline
Madison as a result of the tip. Hoff-
mans confession said the robbery
attempt was planned in her home.
Three other men implicated by
Hoffman are believed serving SEN
fences for other crimes. One other
man is being hunted.
Engelhard was killed in his flat
in a South Side slum. He was a
bachelor and police could uncover
no clues. Officers said the crime
may have gone unsolved unless the
paper had set up its reward plan
that resulted in the secret tip.
The Sun-Times instituted the sys-
tenn after a Federal Bureau of In
vestigation report revealed more
than 100 Chicago murders last year
went unsolved.
