3 Godfathers,' Tale
 Of Bandits win New
 5|ant, Capitol Screen

Death Valley, California, forms the spectacular background fol M-G-M's thrill-packed Technicolol outdoor drama, B Godfathers, starring John Wayne, Pedro Armen- iariz and Harry Carey, Jr., at the Capitol Theatre, playing Sunday Monday and Tuesday.
 Based on Peter B. Kyne's mem- orbale tale of three western bad men who make desperate at- tempt at escape over the desert fighting storms, narrowing thirst and the ominous shadow of their pursuers, this Argosy production carries a dramatic wallop in every reel.
 Wayne is the amiable, two-fisted leader of the desperadoes, Armen- dariz is the sentimental Mexican, Carey the youthful member of the trio who is wounded after their at tempt to hold up bank. Together they match their wits against the pursuing posse led by Sheriff Ward Bond Complications arise when they come upon a dying mother and are persuaded to. adopt her in- fant child, situation which gives way to both tender and humorous moments. In the end, Wayne is the lone survivor, and, although he is apprehended, a twist of the tale turns him from william into hero.
 Wayne, who has become a model for the screens prototype of virile western heroes, his most recent success having been Fort Ap- pache,' is in top form in his latest portrayal. Armendariz as his excit- able lieutenant, contributes to the comedy overtones, and Harry Carey Jr., makes an suspicious debut in the dramatic part of the wounded boy, a performance which the late Harry Carey would undoubtedly commend.

Answers Smear
Letter In Times

Al Kenngott, chairman oi
Champion Spark Plug Unit
of Local IL UAW-CIO is an.
swering through the Union Jour
nal a letter which was published
in the Toledo Times editorial
section as letter to the editor,
The letter appeared minus per-

Kenngot said the members
take exception to that letter
since it is solely intended as a
smear to individuals and union
leadership who are duly elected
by the union members.
He said that the letter as it
was printed is definitely a mis-
representation and undoubtedly,
to attempt to confuse the MEM
bership.
The Unit chairman along with
the Unit executive board have

.ULC Prominent
In Large Vote
Spirited Campaign
Conducted By Group

Over $4,000 voted at the City
Election on Tuesday and the
United Labor Committee, repre-.
senting all segments of labor
played a prominent part in get
ting out the large vote which
was beyond all predictions OF
radio comentators, newspapers
and political figures in general
What reward labor will reap
from the large vote will be more
or less determined by the time
this paper is placed in your mail
box.
Worked Untiringly
1t is a general conclusion that
union shop executive commit
teemen, department stewards
and active union members work
ed hard to get out heavy vote
to place high on the voting list
all labor candidates and in part
ticular Franz Berlacher who
was endorsed and supported by
the ULC.
Union officials discounted
statements that the large vote
was the result of the mild
weather. Officials pointed to the
spirited campaign this year and
in the last election a large seq
ment of labor voters to the polls.
1t Paid Off
In the last election it paid off
in the election of Tom Burke to
Congress and this years election
is hoped to be repeat perform
ance by electing Berlacher and
other labor candidates support
ed by the ULC and CIO Unit Of
ficials.
In the municipal election the
ULC did not take any definite
stand on amendments or on mu-
nicipal selections.
The campaign and the get-out
the vote drive was centered on
the councilmanic election. What
are the results? Well, this week
end will tell the story.

AN EDITORTAL-
They Won't Get Away With II

yXTE IN Toledo getting demonstration Of news
w paper responsibility that all the rest of America
should see.
Here is a large industrial city-a city whose welfare
and prosperity depend good labormanagement rela
tions-beng told by the newspaper monopoly that bar
gaining must be carried on its columns
Throwing sensitive and delicate matters into the
general public without discussion without any
opportunity for exchange of ideas between the concerned
companies and the union is dangerous and nonsensica
The newspaper monopoly has virtually commanded
Toledo industry to refuse bargain 1t trying push
local business back into corner-to point where any
company is guilty of tratorous conduct toward other
business if he reaches peaceful agreement with the
union.
This is sheer suicidal insanity
There is no rational reasonable explanation of the
conduct of Mr. Paul Block Jr We must therefore
cude that there must be irrational and irresponsible
for Mr. Blocks attempted creation of Frankensten
If Mr. Block would give his to the pub
lic which he has done, he would stand exposed
unworthy of the direction of part of Americas free
press.
Toledo workers know that Richard Gosser has not
changed Yet only short time ago, Mr. Block called
him friend" For what strange reasons the Blade and
the Times have launched savage and Incorporate
attacks Mr. Gosser, we can only guess
One good guess might be Mr.. Blocks aspirations to
control the political or Toledo IhlS he cannot DO
while he is opposed by united and democratic labor
movement which Dick Gosser helps give leadership
Mr. Blocks political aspirations for his comrade, Senator
Taft take second place only to those ambitions he has for
himself.
This is good time for the newspapers owner to try
destroy the unity of labor for politics, but it is cri
nay bad time provoke economic strife which will tear
down the industrial structure of Toledo.
This Committee to Save Toledos Payrols' is, of
course Mr. Blocks personal creation-a phony We
hcle through which he vent his malice and carry out
his ambition be the political Fehrer of city To
regard this salvation" committee genuinely con-
cerned group is foolish mistake 1t is run by high
priced professional public relations hotshot who pro-
vdes much of the drivel which is passed off for news
in the columns of the two newspapers. The salvation
outfit is strictly artificial-strictly synthetic.
Toledos organized workers will refuse to be sacr-
feed on the altar of Mr. Blocks ambition and vndicve
ness he succeeds in his mission to deceive and mslead
local ndustrialists the working and women of To-
edo will have alternative but to defend themselves
They have shown in the past and will show again that
they are willing and able to do
It would indeed be sad day for city and our
country one man and his printed rags could defeat
he thousands of citizens of city who work for
living.
Mr. Blocks attempt to work mischief will not
eed.

airman of the Association, he
m do not believe that striving
to bring security to the aged
will give Toledo a "black
eye" or cause any industry to
leave town. On the contrary, we
think that if the aged workers
of Toledo could get a bit more
security that the UAW is asking
for, it would make Toledo bet
ter town to live in.
United With Gosser
In answer to attacks on Rich
ard Gosser, international UAW-
Go Vice President the letter
said, "We in the Association
wish to tell the committee (The
Committee To Save Toledo's
Payrolls) that we stand united
with Dick Gosser and his UAW
and we will call upon the rest
of Labor in Toledo to join hands
and beat back this dastardly at
tempt to split Toledo Labor,
for only thru united cooperative
effort can labor enforce equit-
able collective bargaining and
achieve the necessary economic
and social programs.
Pension Not Issue
In the letter Mr.. Griffith ac--
cuses the Toledo Committees in
tention is not related to pension
or welfare issues, but merely
using the false issue of pension
funds for their smoke screen to
keep the real thing concealed
from the citizens of Toledo. He
adds that the Toledo Committee
have taken on a battle to stop
and crush Gosser as well as the
well organized UAW which Is
rapidly becoming a decisive fac
tor in the Political and Eco
nomic life of Toledo"

Dears Sirs:
The Association of Toledo
Trainmen and Auxiliary Lodges
at their last regular meeting
voted unanimously that ! should
write a letter to the Toledo
Blade and Toledo Times, copy
to the Toledo Union Journal,
telling of our discussion in con-
nection with the Committee to
Save Toledo's PayrollS, pronoun-
cements and public advertising.
We talked about the Publish
er of the Toledo Blades name
being among those of the Com
mittee" and we didn't like it.
We saw other names there that
lead us to believe that this COM
mittee's intention is not related
to penson or welfare issues, but
using the false issue cf
pension funds as their smoke
screen to keep the real thing
concealed from the citizens of
We figure this influen-
tial group have raised their
sights beyond their immediate
interest and taken on
a battle to stop Dick Gosser
and crush his well organized
J-A-W local unions, which are
becoming decisive fac
or in the Political and Econo-
mic life of Toledo, into weak
md helpless individual COM
oany locals that must do their
bargaining on their own instead
IF an area basis.
We in the Association do not
believe that striving to bring
to the aged will give
Toledo a "black eye" or cause
my industry to leave town. On
he contrary, we think that if
he aged workers of Toledo
.ould get bit more security
han the U-A-W is asking for, it
would make Toledo a better
own to live in.
We in the Association wish to
ell the Committee that we
tand united with Dick Gosser
nd his U-A-W and we call up
n the rest of Labor in Toledo
o join hands and beat back this
attempt to split Tole-
o Labor-for only thru united
effort can labor en-
orce equitable collective bar
