Isolation is more practical today than
it was 1000 years ago. In 1906 an armada
of Normans crossed the English Channel.
landed on English soil and conquered the
island. That was because the channel
could be crossed before the islanders
knew it was to be attempted. In World

Religious Freedom

DR.. Joseph M. Dawson Of Washington
recently stated at the annual meeting
of the Southern Baptist Convention in
Chicago that religious liberty was i'm
perilled by any fringe" auxiliary" or
indirect or concealed grants out of pub
lie funds AS long as such grants are
equally beneficial to members of all re-
ligions. or their children, see no danger
therein to religious liberty. We do not
lose our identity as citizens through
church membership.
The real danger lies in using false
concept of religious freedom as cloak
for discriminating against some citizens
of this country who happen to be men,
bers of certain unpopular" religions.

Although the entire nation
had just concluded a secret
ballot to send candidates to
office, the Blade attempted to
violate the secrecy of the ballot
in the Council, voting, in order
to take a crack at Gosser.
The apparent intent is to stir
up trouble on the Council,
which has been effective prin-
cipally because it has been sin
gularly free from politicing.
Because of the attempt by the
Blade to put four Doehler-J Jarvis
delegates to the Council on the
spot, the four delegates them
selves have broken tradition in
order to prove, once more, that
the Blade doesn't care where it
gets its anti-Gosser copy.
The Blade said that these four
Doehler-Jarvis delegates n d
never before attended a Coun-
Gil meeting, and this is true.
They are just now organizing
the Doehler-Jarvis unit and are
eligible for four delegates. They
could not have attended earlier.
The B a d e then insinuated
that the four votes by which
Frank Johnson lost election to
Bernard Simon, an Ele ctricI
Auto-Lite steward, were the
votes cast by the new delegates.
Although the secrecy of the
ballot is important to union men,
these four have authorized the
Toledo Union Journal to release
the manner of their balloting for
the presidency.
All four voted for Johnson.
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1950-11-10

The other elected to the coun-
Gil to serve with Simon were
John Newton (ste ward at
Spicer) vice pre- d n t; Al
Schneider, (Rathbun committee
MANI treasurer, and William
ID e a n, (Auto-Lite st ward
trustee.
In spite of the Blades efforts
to interfere in internal UAW-
CIO affairs, the probabilities are
that the council, now under the
presidency of Bernard S m n
will be as admirably free of in
ternal politicing as it was under
the extremely effective leader
ship of the retiring president.
