Union President Philip Muir
ray praised the Steel Workers
for their. successful 6-week
strike last year, which estab-
lished for their union the prin-
ciple of noncontributory pen
sions financed by the industry,
and vowed that "this is just
the beginning"
The two biggest CIO un-
ions, the USW and UAW,
pledged themselves before the
convention of the United Steel
Workers to a joint fight for the
guaranteed annual wage, un-
ion shop, higher pensions and
other gains.
News items-May IL, 1850
Imagination, Napoleon is report
ed to have said, rules the world.
Seen against the background of
contemporary America, the goals
set by the 2 principal CIO unions
with a combined membership of
close to 100000 have touch of
creative imagination. They may
we'll mark another milestone to-
ward the attainment of full social
security and economic protection
for all against any and all hazards
of life.
Yet it makes one wonder wheth
er the American working people, in
their search for the pot of gold at
the end of the rainbow, are not i'm
dulging in a prolonged "lost week
end,"-a week end likely to wind
up in riotous awakening.

Students of the nations history
will agree that this is not the first
time Americans have gone for this
sort of thing. Such a spree, not linn
tied to any particular group, was
the boom of the late twenties; the
less said about it's attendant misery
and headaches, the better. But long
before the events identified with
the present generation, Americans
were all too prone to follow will
o. o'-the-wisp, to recklessly embark
upon experiments that cause adj
diets of advanced statism elsewhere
the jitters.
That the 2,2O0 steel workers
delegates assembled at Atlanticl
City cheered President Murray'sl
report on the great gains made inl
5he last 2 years is understandable.
So are the pledges of mutual sup
port cast by the leader of the Auto
Workers in the arresting phrase,
IF our powerful unions stand
together in the frontline trenches
N the struggle for economic and
social Justice . there is no power
n America that can stop us in our
forward march to a better life forI
our people" Reuther also madel
plain that while wages and pen
;ions were the main considerations
n current negotiations with Gen
eral Motors, the guaranteed annual
wage would become a major and
perhaps the principal issue in the
near future.
\ !. j.
Altogether; the picture present
I'd before the Steel Workers con-
yention must have gladdened the
leart of every union organizer. But
t also had somewhat unrealistic,
nake-believe touch, what with the
luto union leader high-handedly
aside the idea that man
lgement would ever act construc-
lively on it's own, and that it there
ore behooved organized labor to
,rove to the world that "bread

Those words. dear to the
Leathernecks, were almost the
first words he spoke and they
guided his steps from the day he
learned of the exploits of another
fighting Marine-his father.
Today's dispatches from the
Korean front told how a handful
of Navy and Marine commandos
were decorated for blasting rail
tunnel on a daring night raid
north of the 38th parallel.

son of Mr.. and Mrs. Herbert A.

Washington was brought doubly
into the news by the fact that part
of the raiding party landed from
the cruiser Juneau, whose captain
was Jesse C. Sowell of 1906 Forty
fourth street NV.
1t was service aboard the
Juneau, in fact. that lured 1t.
johnson into his first volunteer
act. That was on May l when
1t. johnson agreed to leave the
1st Marine Division temporarily
at Camp Pendleton and join the
Juneau and the 7th Fleet. This
was weeks before the Korean war.
The Marine 1st has since en-
barked for the Far East.
Second Call Was for Raid.
The second call for volunteers
involved the commando raid itself.
Without either of these responses,
1t. Johnson would have missed
the raid.
What did his father, a Marine
for IA years, wounded twice while
fighting World War rs major
battles with the 5th Regiment,
think of all this?

1t. johnson became a Marine
the hard way. He enlisted as soon
as he could, right after he finished
high school in Philadelphia and
a month before his 18th birthday.
He jumped into a war almost
at once, serving with the Marine
Air Wing as staff sergeant in
the Philippines, Marianas and
Green Island.

Then he came back and, by dint
OF hard study, won his commits

at Quantico, he joined the 1st

aboard the Juneau, 1t. johnson
became the father of his second
son. The boys and his wife are
living at Oceanside, Calf. His
father is personnel officer for the
