Metal Workers Push
Welfare Programs

WASHINGTON LPA) - An
other international union is go
ing out for health and welfare
benefits. The executive board of
the Sheet Metal Workers-AFL,
at a meeting here, decided to
recommend to all its locals that
in their next negotiations with
employers health and welfare
funds be requested. This would
cover sickness benefits, payment
Of medical fees, disqualification,
death benefits, disability COM
pensation and other provisions.

legislators, repeatedly Repub-
licans, were planning to move
reconsideration of the FEPC
vote of last Wednesday, which
carried by a two-vote margin.
Technique of Opponents
Such a motion would have
needed only a simple majority
of those present and voting TO
win. The technique of FEPC op-
ponents, according to the we'll
authenticated reports, was to get
one representative who had
voted for FEPC to ask that the
vote be reconsidered at Monday
nights session, when many re-
representatives. would be absent.
Liberal forces had little time
to prepare counter strategy
They checked with legislators
urging them to stand firm a.
gainst such parliamentary
maneuver.
Outcome In Doubt
When the session began, how
ever. no one knew the outcome
Such a motion could come at any
time during the session and
would take precedence over any
other piece of business.
AS each representative rose
to address the chair, ClO re-
representatives. and other liberals,
sitting on the edge of their gal
lery chairs, compared votes.
"Was he going to make the
notion" they wondered,
The session dragged on. Ru-
mors and reports persisted that
the motion was still going TO
come UP. FEPC supporters wait
ed anxiously, expecting the
whole issue to explode momenta-
rily.
Breathed Easily Again
Finally, Majority Leader A. G..
Lancione, moved to adjourn un-
til Tuesday and FEPC support
ers breathed easily for the first
time all night. Now, under par
liamentary rules, the bill must
go to the Senate for hearings and
action. The time for House
maneuvers had passed, without
the motion for reconsideration
coming up.
Best guess was that the FEPC
opponents had quietly counted
noses, knew that their maneuver
would be defeated and aban-
-doned their plans.
Meanwhile, this shapes up as
a quiet week on the floor and an
extremely busy one in commit
tee. No important measures are
scheduled to come for a vote in
either House this week, but vital
issues will be before legislative
committees all week long.

Bill passed the Senate 18 to
IL on Tuesday.
On the final vote, Republicans
George Davies of Wauseon and
Ralph Winter UodD, joined with
16 Democrats to liberalize the
law. Nine r pub blicans and
Democrats William Boyd (Cuya-
hoga), oJseph Bartunek (Cuya-
hoga), Joseph Bartunek (Cuya-
dletown) voted against the bill.
Jones, who was i'll, and GOPers
Albert Daniels (Greenfield) and
T ON Moorehead, (Zanesville),
who were present, failed to vote.
Deddens, Boyd Amendments
Defeated
William Deddens (R., Hamil-
tom and Boyd sought in vain to
amend the bill. Deddens' amend
ment was an attempt at con-
fusion, while Boyd wanted to
drop dependency allowances. AL
though Bartunek and Wilmer
did not vote against the bill on
the showdown roll call, they
helped defeat both amendments
and an IT, mpt by Minority
Leader Roscoe Walcott to stall
the bill.
Boyd, in presenting his amend
ment, claimed dependency al
lowances left him "dumbfound-
ed" and he urged Labor to go
easy" saying, pushing such
radical legislation as this may
backfire." A kron Republican

against the bill because "Some

Wolcott led the fight for the

they huddled before the session.

FEPC Wins BY Close Margin
During an afternoon of bitter
debate, during which FEPC pro-
ponentS beat down a Republican
filibuster and blocked crippling
amendments, FEPC won by 2
votes, 70-61.
Real test came when Demo-
crat Morton Anderson Crank
linz introduced an amendment
to kill the entire bill and SUBJ
stitute a sweetness and light"
measure - a so-called "educa-
Ition" bill. The amendment was
beaten down by one vote, with
Speaker John CantwelI 3D.,
Mahoning) casting the deciding
vote.
Box Score On FTPC
The roll call vote for passage
of FEPC saw all-Democrats, with
the following seven exceptions,
voting for the bill: Morton An
Iderson (Fr an kim, William
Donovan Lucas), George Cru
Isenmyer Montgomery, Joseph
Logan (Putnam), Irwin Miller
(Fairfield), Paul Miller (Jask-
SOM and Ray White (Holmes).
Seven Republicans joined with
the Democrats to insure passage:
Lowell Fess GRE ene), Guy
Hiner (Stark), Fred Hoffman
(Hamilton), George Marsh a |
(Franklin), j. w. Masters (Mor-
row., Dave Moore Perry and
seph Schwartz (Hamilton).
Other Republicans voted mo"
or were silent.
Brilliant Liberal Voices Heard
Taking oratorical honors, were
d mocrat Joseph Avellone
(Cuyahoga) and Fess. Avellone,
with impressive sincerity, stern
ly warned the Republicans their
attempts to kill the bill by
amendments is sure to fail"
You've got to stand up and be
counted some day. You ducked
ii last year. You can't duck it
this year"
FesS, one of the co-authors,
warned his party To-day is the
day the chickens come home to
rooSt." Reading from the COP
pledge on FEPC, Fess added,
"and we concluded our platform
with these words, We believe
promises are made to be kept
My party did nothing to fulfill
its promises when we were in
control by a big margin. To-day
we of the Republican party,
must keep our promises"
Ed Wilmer 3D., Stark slaShed
through the opponents argu-
meats, noting, 1--WE seen croco-
ollie tears shed for employers -
but no one mentions that this
bill regulates Labor Unions just
as rigidly and they are for the
the bill. It's time we ceased pay
ing lip service to democracy and
really vo ted democratically."

port of the bill to prove red tag
a snare and a delusion.
Both unemployment compen-
sation and FEPC have other
to cross. FEPC now goes
to the Senate, unemployment

continued CIO action in the
field.

progress reporst for veteran
trainees in job-training estab-
liShments and in sc h o o S
other than colleges and univer-
stiles.
Earnings Report
Instead, reports of conduct
and progress will be incorpor-
ated in a report of earnings,
which veterans now file and
which they will continue to SUBJ
NIT to VA every four months.
AS result of the new proce-
dure, VA field offices will proc
ess at least 100000 fewer
forms a year, with an appreci-
able savings in clerical work.
Schools below college level
after April / also will report
veterans progress and conduct
on the VA report of earnings.
AS ip the past, colleges and
universities will not submit re-
ports of conduct and progress,
except to notify VA in cases of
those students for whom con-
duct or progress has been un-
satisfactory.
Schools Must Cooperate
VA emphasized that schools
and training establishments
should report promptly the dis
continuance of any veteran from
training.
VA urges veterans to make
certain the required reports of
earnings reach the VA regional
office handling their cases be-
fore the tenth of the month fol-
lowing the date the reports are
due.
Failure to submit reports in
time might result in delays in
subsistence checks, VA said.
The one-page report is simple.
The veteran merely provides
necessary information, signs his
name and turns the form over
TO the official of the school or
training establishment, who re-
ports on conduct and progress
and, when appropriate, earnings
over the past four months.

Fish Season
 M ay Relate

The commercial fishing season in the Kodiak area may not open next year until August 1.
 A proposal to delay the open ing of the season will be made to the Director of the Fish and Wildlife Service in Washington. D. c. by Seton Thompson, chief of the Alaska branch of the FWS.
 Thompson conducted the an. nual fisheries hearing in Kodiak Tuesday. at the community center George Kelez, superinten. dent of fisheries, and Frank Hynes, fishery management bi- ologist accompanied Thompson to Kodiak.
 Only IS persons, including the FWS representatives, attended the hearing.
 In explaining the reason for proposed late opening of the sea- son Thompson said, Because of the increasing poor run of red salmon in thls area the FWS has found it necessary to curtail the season. It is known that the measures necessary to restore salmon runs are painful but there is no way to make it pain less"
 He asked tue group to bear in mind that he did not make the fishing regulations "I can only make recommendations The final rulings come from the De partment of the Interior." he said.
 Karl Brunstad, Alaska Fisher ies Board member. presented 8 letter to the FWS representa-. tives ID which he recommended that the offal from the canneIies be transported to red salmon lakes for the propagation of young selmon. He also suggested a territorial or federal fish hatch cry be built on Kodiak Island
