WASHINGTON (LPA) -
American stockholders will get
a record-breaking $1,000, 600, 900

payer who holds stock I'm an

clare that fact on his return and
list all dividend payments re-
ceived. The Bureau of Internal

pl6yees' group topped all others
in the drive. Division Ia, COM
posed of governmental en-
ployees, reported 174.3 per cent
of its goal. Employees of Libbey
Owens Ford Glass Co. who
reached 1856 per cent of their
quota, were second. Third were
downtown department store en-
ployees, led by William Gardner
with 130 per cent.
Mr.. Spieker announced that a
large number of companies are
yet to be heard from, and he
was confident the Employees
Division would reach its goal
within a week. Section B of the
Employees led by Ray Kirby,
exceeded its quota with pledges
for 101 AS per cent.
With 218 per cent of its quota,

derson, with pledges for 1O8
per cent.

greater Toledo assisted in the
campaign. They were praised by
Fern L. Kettel, Chest president,
for their I'm terful job"

meeting by saying he felt soli-
citors and contributors should

a job well done, one which pro-
notes human welfare and hap
piness.

emily under a priority order to
concentrate key operations in
the enterior of our Country
away from coastal areas.
General Electric presently
has the LOckland AutO-Lite
North Shop under priority
lease from AutO-Lite. The
North Shop, smallest of the
main buildings, has $4,000
square feet of floor space. The
building is used to assemle
and test jet engines. UAW-
CIO has bargaining rights here
having won an election in No
vember, 1949, less than year
after the jet operations were
started.
According to reports, Lock-
land Auto-Lite is presently using
most of its 1 300, 900 square feet
of floor space in its huge Center
Shop (the Center Shop is Auto
Lite) on its current operations,
and has been using the South
Shop for storage of raw and fin
ished products.
Present news is that Cen
eraI Electric will eventually
occupy all of the South Shop
which has 1,572,000 square
feet of floor space. News of
this proposed expansion OF
General Electric was reitera-
ted i'm the news releases on
Sunday, Oct. 22. Officials of
G.E. intimated that the execu-
tive and engineering offices
would be transferred here
shortly - with expansion de-

strength continues to grow with
in Lockland Auto-Lite. After
the Lamp Workers became certi-
fled as the bargaining agent here
in May, many UAW-CIO sup
porters were elected to the ex-
ecutive board of the Lampwork-
ers - and since the election OF
department committeeman has
been completed and survey
made, it appears that substan-
tial number of department COM
mitteemen stewards to you)
are UAW-CIO symphathizers.
Sam Powers, one of the UAW-
CIO leaders during the past
campaign, is now President of
the Lamp Workers. Other UAW-
CIO leaders are also in key
spots.
The LockIand Campaign
Fund Of $1,000 is still intact
and resting i'm bank vaults.
The fund has not been touch
ed or used in any way. AS
originally set up, bonuses
were to be made available to
UAW-CIO supporters within
the plant, if UAW-CIO won
the election. And since the
NLRB certified the Lamp
Workers after UAW-CIO lost,
NO funds were paid out. At the
last Council meeting held in
Niagara Falls, NY. on Sept.
30, the Council voted to al
locate this fund, rs the Assis-
tant Director decided, to the
Woodstock, Illinois Auto-Lite
Drive.
No plans have been made In
Woodstock on this matter SO
far, but the fund will not be
used in any way without prior
consultation with Council Of
ficers.

one UAW drive on an Auto-Lite
plant. At Hazelton. Pa. on Sept.
10, the UAW-CIO defeated q
union 65-28 and
won certification for the employ
ees at the new wire plant. This
was a run-off election. In the
first election, UAW-CIO lead
the company-type union 47-3O
and defeated the VAIL
victory because of strong inside
and lam - but was dubious OF
pressure movements to get pop
ular support for the company
type union. The final negotia-
tions on the National Agreement
prior to the run-off was very
helpful, according to reports.
UAW-CIO also has a new
drive in the Atlanta, Ga. bat
terry plant of AutO-Lite. Vice
President GOsser started a
drive here just before the
conclusion of the national ne
gOtiatiOns. From reports,
good start has been made. Ap-
parently fearful of the snow
balling effect that the national
negotiations was having on the
people in the plant, the COM
pany subordinates uncOrked a
full-scale campaign of fear, in
timidation, and discharge. To
date, two employees have been
discharged and a score have
been called into the front Of
flee and berated for their ac-
tivity in behalf of the UAW-
CIO. But in spite of the con-
fusion and fear caused by COM
pany subordinates, support for
UAW-CIO continues to grow.
Newspapers in the area have

One of the matters resolved
at the last Council meeting was
the proposal that all local agree

for the various agree

that the mess of de-

HONOLULU. May 20.-A for
mer United States pilot who spent
eight months in solitary confne-
ment in Japan has won a legal
fight TO have a shrine returned
to its japanese congregation.
Federal Judge J. Frank Nc
Laughlin yesterday ordered the
shrine returned to Kotohira jim
sha., its owner until it was seized
by the government soon after the
attack on Pearl Harbor.
Frank Padgett. 26-year-old at
torney. represented the Japanese.
He was captured by the japanese
after his plane was shot down
over Indo- China.
The government resisted the re-
turn of the shrine. valued at $780,
900. Government attorneys ar
gued the shrine was dedicated to
the Japanese state religion of
Shinto and the religion was sub
versive.
Judge Mclaughlin in his ruling
said citizens may not be deprived
of property in the United States
simply because their religion and
philosophical beliefs do not have

World, Boyd Orr Says

LONDON, May 2o.-Lord Boyd
Orr, winner of the 1949 Nobel
Peace Prize, said today the world
was rather hypnotized" by the
atomic bomb.
That, along with the possibility
of the hydrogen bomb and bac-
teriological warfare, make for an
obsession about war. he told the
British Association of Scientific
Workers in his presidential ad-
dress.
If new talks with Prime Min
ister Stain were desirable, Lord
Boyd Orr advised Western lead
ers:
Approach him with something
much broader than the atom
bomb. Don't discuss the abstracts
of communism and capitalism
with him. Discuss food, wheat
and timber - terms and things
he understands"
The Association approved a
resolution protesting vigorously
against the decision Of the United
States Government to manufac-
ture the hydrogen bomb.
Meanwhile, the British Social
LIST Medical Association in a reso-
