Where there has been adequate
coverage we have been getting
good results. Top leaders believe
that the community, given sum-
cient time, will come through.
the chairman said.
Solicitors who have done a COM
plete Job won't be asked to con-
tinue working, but leaders will
seek volunteers to help in areas
that have not been covered ade-
quately, Mr.. Luchs said. Some
volunteers already have offered
their services, he added.
+ No Opposition Reported.
The chairman said workers
have encountered mo organized
opposition" to the Chest and that
those who gave before are giving
this year." Some units are pro-
ducing~ a slightly higher average
gift, he said. But he added:
There are too many people in
the community who don't fully
realize their responsibility. They
don't think about what would
happen If there weren't any
Chest. Among these people, cam
paigners hope to find 10000 new
contributors needed to put the
drive over. Mr.. Luchs said.
The chairman predicted that
the counties eventually would
make their quotas, but he pointed
out that they always have been
slow starters in the annual cam
paign. So far, they are just
about keeping pace with last year.
he said.
Record in First Week.
During its first report week. the
drive brought in q record $4,000
900, but Chairman Luchs has
pointed out that this was largely
the result Of a special speedup by
the city's largest business firms
and advance soliciting.
Yesterday Mr.. Luchs warned
workers that I'VE have q long
way to go. although We are con-
siderably ahead Of last years
progress on a comparable date.
"I don't want to change the
schedule we agreed upon, and I'm
sure you have other plans between
Thanksgiving and Christmas" the
chairman declared. But We have
yet to hear from nearly 1000 Of
the 2,100 firms In Business I. Only
500 firms have made anything like
a complete report.
MANY thousand potential pledges
are yet to be enrolled in Govern
ment, Business II, Residential,
Alexandria and the four counties.
One thing is clear to me-we
should not close this campaign
until every blessed one Of the TO-
600 workers completes his original
assignment"
Increase In Contributors.
Citing an increase in the num-
Der of contributors In some COM
panies, Mr.. Luchs voiced hope that
"at least a good part" Of the TO-
600 new donors he has called Tor
will be enrolled.
He added. however, that some"
gifts have been cut. He said he
hopes these cuts will be recon-
sidered "in the light Of civic re-
sponsibility and the need OF rais-
ing $3.50, 900 more than last year. +"

eral report next Wednesday, the

A second General Motors wit
ness, Calvin H. Campbell, man.
ager of an automobile service
station in this city, testified that
most people needing spark-plugs
to liven up their cars take what
they can get without bothering
too much about brands. How
ever, observers at the hearings
were wondering if General Mo-
tors didn't need a few new
spark-plugs in is own power
plant.
Testimony of the first two GIN
witnesses was long way from
the main charges brought by the
FTC against the giant corpora
ton and its wholly-owned sub
sidiary, the AC Spark Plug
Company.
The companies are accused on
four counts of creating a ten
dency toward monopoly in the
spark-plug field. The four counts
are: (1)' Making price discrimi-
nations between various classes
of accounts so that one class gets
spark-plugs cheaper than an
other. The government anti
monopoly agency contends that
automobile manufacturers have
bought spark-plugs for as little
as six cents apiece, while others
have had to pay 20 to 40 cents.
Six cents is less than cost, the
FTC says. (2) Paying rebates to
certain distributor ccoun S
when the rebates are not avail
able on "proportionally equal
terms" to other customers. CD
Selling to dealers on condition
that the dealers not handle the
products of another company.
(4) Fixing various prices for re-
sale of AC spark-plugs.
A motion by GIN attorneys
for dismsal of the FTC's COM
plain was denied by the trial
examiner.
Defense hearings in Washing
ton were scheduled to last two
days, after which the trial ex-
government and COM
pany lawyers were to move first
to Philadelphia and then to De-
troit for further testimony.

EIGHT EASY LESSONS TO
UNDERMINE A UNION

DNDEhNlNE "A ONION
1. Seldom come to meetings.
Whenever you do condescend to
put in an appearance, always be
late Say to yourself, whats the
use of me being on time" The
other guys are always late. Be-
sides l can always pull that old
gag about haying to change a
tire.
2. On bad weather nights, say
to yourself, Oh hell, there won't
be any body at the meeting any
way. Then lean back and turn on
the radio.
3. In case you do come to the
meetings, always find fault with
decisions that have been made,
or any actions taken by the un-
ion during your absence.
f. Never accept any office or
responsibility. Try TO realize that
it is much easier to find fault
with others than to do anything
yourself.
5. If asked to give your opin-
ion on some subject, be sure to
have nothing to say. Convince
yourself that a still tongue
means a wise head, and that if
you keep silent the boys will
think you are very profound.
6. In case you have anything
to say, never express yourself
during meeting. Wait till after
the meeting is over, and then, in
loud voice at the bar room tell
all the guys the way you would
do it if you had anything to do
with it.
Z. Do nothing more than is abb
solutely necessary to make the
union a success. But when others
roll up their sleeves and devote
time to the organization, howl
like the devil about the union
being run by a click.
1 8. In any kind of a disagree
'ment or controversy, never wait
to hear the others side of the
story. Hearing both sides of the
issue will merely get you con-
fused and will interfere with
your righteous judgement.
Think over these eight lessons
and study them carefully.

GIN strengthens it.
n The witness, Leon Francis
tBangan, identified himself as
Washington representative of the
National Council of Private
Motor Truck Owners. Under
questioning from a GIN attorney
he gave vague account of a
couple of surveys of the spark
plug market he had made in
1884 and 1886.
Burden of his story was that
people didn't know what kind
of spark-plugS they used any
way. He based his reminiscence
on what he remembered of a
survey he supervised for some
automotive trade papers in 1884
and a second he conducted for
the Edison-Splitdorf company,
manufacturers of spark plugs,
+ in 1886.
Acting on continuing objec-
tion entered by FTC attorney
L. E. Creel, Jr., the trial exam
iner ordered testimony on the
1894 survey stricken from the
record and said he would with
hold judgment on testimony con-
cerning the 1886 inquiry until
GIN could dig up tangible re-
ports to substantiate it.

by WILLIAM BORDEN

This has been a very short
week so we guess we will start
the column off by talking about
a very short person. The short
subject this week is about Allen
(Shorty) Kuhlne. Al was born
in 1895 and started at Swartz
in September, 1928. AIS first
job at Swartz was cutting food
conveyors by hand with tin
ships.
He sepnt four years polishing
and buffing and also was fore
man in the press room, Anytime
you want a loan from the Credit
Union, Al is the boy to see as he
is the chairman of the Credit
Union. AL is very active in the
union, being steward of the press
room and chairman o fthe Wei
fare Committee.
AL has been married thirty
four years and is the proud IA
ther of six boys, Donald, Thorn
as, Robert, Allen E, Jr., Dale,
and Edward. Al was real coy
about his hobbies but finally
came out and said that he did
some hunting and fishing.
1t seems that Danny Lenwell
hasn't gotten over the thrill OF
that new washing machine he
recently bought for his wife.
From Information gathered, he
has some domestic trouble be-
cause as yet he won't let his wife
operate the machine. We hear
that he wants to go into the
laundry business.

gets busy and fixes. one of the

Just who is the boy that is

Rumor has it that Earl Albert is

We wonder why, Stanley?
Katie Ejhlinger, Marion Szabo,
Claire Horvath, and Mutt Szeles
of the champion Unit paid a
visit to Detroit's Hungarian Viii
lage over the week end. From all
reports the food was delicious
but all concerned were glad to
get back to Toledo.
Neck stretching days are over
for Stanley Bogacki and Frank
Klause since they moved their
benches close to the window.
They say it is much easier to see
their work, but we wonder if it
isn't because of the girls taking
sun baths across the way at the
trailer court.
Zig Uscilowski says that he is
afraid to hand in any more news.
Say sthat too many people won't
talk to him any more. Chet (On
a Diet) Glowski paid a visit to
the shop this week. So until we
see Chet again, see you all in

Extends Aid to D. 6. Institutions
By Ruth Deem

The Good Neighbor Club OF
Takoma Park not only is a good
neighbor" in the community il
represents, but has extended its
fellowship and aid to various insti-
tutions in the Washington area.
Organized about three years
ago, the club has membership
of less than so. It has record OF
service, however, that would do
credit to a much larger organiza-
ton.
AS the climax to a three-year
fund-raising effort, the group
recently donated $3.50 to Children S
Hospital to furnish a four-bed
ward. In addition, it contributed
500 in the past year to the
Juanita K. Nye Settlement House
for the purchase Of playground
equipment.
Plans are now afoot to raise
enough money to buy incubators
and a wheelchair for Gallinger
Hospital, according to the new
president, Mrs. Jesse j. Ramsey.
Members meet in each others
homes to avoid hotel or head
quarters expenses. The money
saved is added to the treasury.
which also derives funds from
bake sales, bazaars. rummage and
apron sales and silver teas.
The club does not forget the
work for which it was organized
aid to needy families in the
Takoma Park area. For its Christ
mas project, it has selected a
needy family to which it will

Love me, love my mother. u
That's Ruth's motto. it seems, and
Bill can take it or leave her alone
I'm self-supporting, but I live
with my widowed mother" she
explains. "She's a fine woman
everybody will tell you that. ]
don't expect to live with her for
ever, but don't expect to repudi-
ate her, either.
For some months I've been
going with a fine man and we
have talked of marriage. But he
has had-in my opinion-the poor
taste to suggest that after mar
riage he wouldn't expect to live
with my mother. or even to see her
very often.
"I certainly had no intention of
trying to force her on Bill. But
isn't there something funda-
mentally wrong with a man who
takes that attitude? Bill has no
mother of his own. Why shouldn't
he be happy to get one in this
way? I'm so disappointed that
I've about made up my mind to
drop him. Do you think I'd be
justified?"
Before answering, I wish I could
meet you and your mother.
Ideally. a man who has no
mother should, as you say. be
happy to get one by marriage.
Many men are. They say, I've
always wanted a mother" Many
a man is happy to marry into a
family where he acquires a fine
lot of brothers and sisters+a
whole family circle. 1t depends
on the nan-and on that family
circle.
OF course, most people will
sympathNe with Bill and not with
you in this difference of opinion.
I presume that you know that,
Ruth. Otherwise, you wouldn't
have taken the trouble to write
to me. On the basis of long ex-
perience, most people recognize
that a man and his mother-in-
law ought to be parted. That
goes, perhaps. even more strongly
for a woman and her husbands S
mother. It's the latter who is
