Party Women Get
Lessons on How to
Become Speakers
By Ruth Deem

With a send-of from Mrs. In
dia Edwards. head Of the Women's
Division Of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, group of won-
en- Democrats got their first les
sons in how to become ''big shot"
speakers yesterday.
Approximately 80 members of
the Woman's National Democratic
Club turned out for the first ses-
sion Of a Fair Deal Facts Seminar
to hear experts on the art OF
political speech making and to
get a brief1ng on the main issues
in next falls election campaign.
Washington is a magic word
to the people out in the States"
Mrs. Edwards told the prospective
orators. 1--WE want big shot
speaker-somebody from Wash
ington'. That's the request we
receive most frequently at the
speakers bureau Of the Women's
Division"
Adding that I'VE may not con-
slider ourselves important, but they
do" Mrs. Edwards pointed out
that the Women's Division has
small reservoir" Of speakers. The
seminar, she said, is designed to
recruit more volunteers to meet

The panel of experts who Of
fered instruction yesterday was
headed by Mrs. Lynn Nichols, di-
rector of the Women's Division
speakers bureau. who will con-
duct the six-week course. Others
who spoke were Mrs. Virginia

tional Committee.
with the competition of radio
and television, the day when you
could attract people to big rally
is past" Mrs. Nichols declared.
Nov we must go to the people via
the street corner and the trailer
truck"
Mrs. Nichols also warned the
volunteers that frivolous hats,
spangled bracelets, heavy wells
and the like are apt to distract
an audience. "You have to realize
that what you have to say is more
important than how you say it,
she said. "but you might as well
not cucumber it by what you wear
too."
The two main topics for the
seminar course, Mrs. Nichols ex-
planned, will be campaign issues
and organizational problems.
Students will learn how to make
i've or ten-minute campaign
speeches on such issues as the
Brannan farm program, the Presi-
dents health program, Federal
budget and taxes and power and
reclamation. Yesterday the vet
eran speakers in the class were
given assignments on these topics.
In the following weeks, other
members will try their hand with
the aid OF such guest critics as
Representative Helen Gahagan
Douglas. United States Treasurer
Georgia Neese Clark and Director
Of the Mint Nellie Tayloe Ross.
Mrs. Roser discussed speech
techniques, reminding the future
. speakers to be themselves, know
their audience and "be relaxed
but not collapsed"
AS the students will have to
write their own speeches as part
Of the course, Mr.. Leslie covered
this aspect of the subject, remind
ing the group that their lob will
be ito inform and solicit votes,
not to impress or edify."
Mrs. Julien Friant, president of
the club, opened the seminar and
after a vote of the members, an
nounced that all future meetings
will be held at 10 am. Tuesday at

sue career in teaching.
Because of his courage and de-
termination In not allowing his
handicap to stand in his way, the
23-year-old prospective teacher has
received the Who's Crippled?"
citation from the Ohio Society for
Crippled Children. This award was
presented to him at a special din
ner ceremony marking the first an
nual meeting of the year-old Sum-
init County Society for Crippled
Children at the Akron Women's
City Club.
The Who's Crippled?" citation
is conferred every month by the
National Society for Crippled Chill
dren, the Easter Seal Agency,
through its state aff1liates, to per-
sons like Monroe who have over
come severe physical handicaps
to live happy, useful lives.
Monroe was suddenly stricken
with polio in 1884 and lost the use
of his legs. AS the result of a long
program of surgery and therapy,

Pension School
Led By Gosser

A pension school for represen-
tatives of all Auto-Lite plant
committees was held in Toledo
earlier this month under the di-
rection of Richard +. GosSer, in
ternational UAW- -CIO vice pres
ident.
With the cooperation of the
UAW social security depart
ment, explained how to set the
new pension plans in motion and
how to handle details of opera
ton at the plant level.
The plan was to 60 into eff
feet in Auto-Lite plants here and
in Canada November /, and vet
eran Auto-Lite employees are al
ready scheduled to receive the
benefits when the details have
been worked out.
Dele egates to the pension
school were able TO see at first
hand how vicious the Toledo at
tack against pensions has been,
with daily newspaper assaults
on Gosser and the UAW- -CIO,
internal "revolts" inspired by
management, and weekly adver-
tisements by struck plants tell
ing the people of their impend-
ing doom if pensions are effec-
tuated.
Most of them agreed that the
very vigor of the attack is a
measure of the success of the
pension drive in the Toledo
area, where about $4,000 work
ers are already under pensions.

Checks
Continued from Page 1


Richard T. Gosser, UAW-CIO
vice president.
Many of the workers at Ack-
lin had insurance before the
new UAW- -CIO pattern went in
to effect in Local IL. They paid
for it themselves in amounts
ranging from So to 81 month.
The company now pays it all
under the Toledo area program.
Coverage includes $1,000 life
insura nee, 81 900 accidental
death, $3.50 a day semi-private
hospital room, $25 for 20 weeks
for workers unemployed due to
sickness or injury beginning on
the first day for injury and on
the eighth for sickness), and a
schedule of surgical benefits be-
sides.
1t was under this coverage
that the five Acklin workers
got their checks this week.
About $50 are now working
at Acklin.
Chairman Mattox said that
the sentiment in the plant after
the first insurance check pay
ments would have been a shock
to Paul Block Junior.
"They all know in the Acklin
unit that Brother Gosser was
carrying out the mandate of the
UAW-CIO convention in Mil
waukee when he began fighting
for pensions and insurance in
Toledo" Mattox said.
"As a UAW-CIO officer, he
was required by convention
vote to go after these benefits,
and the tremendous success
Brother Gosser and the union
iave had in Toledo, putting
about 10000 Toledo workers
under security clauses, can be
= easured by the viciousness of
the personal attacks now being
made on him.
In Acklin, those first five
checks brought home the point
that insurance and other secur-
ity clauses aren't something far
away and vague.
They're protection for the
worker. And we're for that"

JAW In Fight
Down In Dixie

The good old days" came
back with a rush in East Point,
Georgia, when UAW-CIO began
an organizing drive at the bat
terry plant of Electric Auto Lite
there.
The supervisors began a plan
ned program of coercion and
terrorism. The local newspapers
leaped right in with page one
anti-UAW propaganda.
And two carefully selected
discharges were executed.
The NLRB has intervened, but
the fight against organization
goes on at the level which was
standard before the Wagner Act
Never the-less, Everett Estep,
international representative in
charge, says that workers are
signing up steadily. One of the
most effective organizing fac
tors is the new Auto-Lite con-
tract negotiated by Vice Presi-
dent Richard T. Gosser, an
agreement now international in
effect, which provides that any
new Auto-Lite plant certified to
UAW-CIO will become immedi-
ate beneficiary of the contract.
AS matters now stand, it's the
contract versus fear, with the
contract making gains.

terprise is highly satisfactory. F"
L-O-F could, in 1949, have
paid every one of its 10000 en-
ployes $34 a week more wages,
and still have earned 8 per cent,
without increasing prices.
1t could have paid its en-
ployes SIC a week more in
wages and package benefits
(pensions, health insurance) and
REDUCED the prices of its prod
ucts to the consumer by 10 per
cent, and STILL made an 8 per
cent return on the investment.
It's return, in fact, AFTER
taxes, was about 304 per cent.
And that was only for the first
nine months of 1949 (the only
figures currently available to
UAW research.)
But it should be kept in mind
that profit BEFORE taxes is the
measure of what wages can be
paid; for wages are deducted be-
fore federal taxes are computed.
L-O-F made profits for the
nine months of 1949 of about
$24, $50, 900 BEFORE taxes. 1t
needed only $6,071, ,558 to make

he now walks to his classes on
crutches which he hopes soon to
discard.
Ever since he can remember,
Monroe has wanted to become q
teacher. After graduating from
Akron West High School with high
scholastic honors, he enrolled at
Kent State University where he be-
gan to study for his teaching ca
reer. He was within two semesters
of finishing his courses when his
money ran out. The Ohio State Blu
reau of Vocational Rehabilitation
had paid for his tuition up until
that time, but could not finance the
extra semesters he needed.
Then, the Summit County Society
for Crippled Children, an affiliate
of the Ohio Society, came to the
rescue. The Society's board ap-
proved loan of $349, enough to see
Monroe through his final two Sc
mesters. He received one of the So
ciety's first character loans from
a $1,000 fund set up for loans to
disabled and handicapped persons
for the purpose of rehabilitation. ("
According to Walter B. Under
wood. executive director of the
Ohio Society, THE case history of
Edward Monroe is a good example
OF how severely handicapped In
dividual can be assisted in his fight
to lead a useful, happy life through
the combined efforts of health and
welfare agencies. The National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis,
the Ohio State Bureau of Vocational
Rehabilitation, and the Summit
County Society for Crippled Chill
dren have all done their share to
see that Monroe gets his teaching
opportunity.

the established satisfactory re-
turn of 8 per cent.
That would have left $18, OIL
600 that could have been added
to the company's payroll.
This COULD have provided
$1.15 per hour across-the board
increase without bringing COM
pany profits AFTER taxes be-
low the acceptable minimum for
such an enterprise.
These figures are offered by
the Journal not to say what
L-O-F should do about wages:
but to point out to our readers
the absurdity of the often re-
peated charge that all wage in
creases must be compensated for
by higher prices
AS can easily be seen in the
case of Libbey-O -Owens-Ford this
is simply not true. Nor is it true
that UAW-CIO has made Toledo
an area in which it is impos-
sible to make a profit. L-O-F
makes a very nice profit in
Toledo.

membership of $4,000.
No big international union
welcomes a drop in membership,
and of organized strength of
such huge proportions.
But the answer has been
given by the rank and file.
CIO is bigger than ever. 1t has
made up the losses which fol-
lowed the expulsion of the Elec-
trical Workers and the Farm
Equipment groups-made them
up and addd new members be-
sides, according to Allan S. Hay
wood, CIO vice president and
organization director.
The new CIO union, IUE, un-
der CIO secretary treasurer Jim
Carey has gathered up the loose
threads and granted charters to
229 local unions.
The new organization for gov
ernment workers, under the or
iginal guidance of Milton Muir
ray, former Guild president, has
attained membership of $4,000
Qarger than the Guild; and
each newly formed CIO group
replacing a left-wing equivalent,
has shown dramatic gains in the
intervening two years.
One of the major advances
made by a CIO union was by
our own Autoworkers.
Allan Haywood reports an
average membership of l ,lO7 1926
for June, July and August for
the 11O6 locals of UAW-CIO, and
a September membership of l.
118,046.

Poultry Problem
Caused By Lack of
Sweat Glands

If nature had seen fit to provide
chickens with sweat glands, the prob
lens of the Maryland poultryman
would be simplified during the sum-
mer months
Since chickens cannot sweat, they
must use other methods to dissipate
heat when temperatures soar above
50 degrees F. They depend on radi-
alton, convection, and conduction as
well as evaporation of water from the
respiratory passages of the body. This
explains the attempt of fowls to in
crease their body surface by ruffling
their feathers, dropping their wings,
and painting
As an additional means of holding
down their body temperature, the
birds also eat less. This results in
slower growth or lower egg produc-
tion-and less income for the pro-
Queer.
Wade Rice, Extension poultryman
at the University of Maryland, says
that the poultryman can take some
steps to help the birds fight high
summer temperatures. He lists cross
ventilation in the poultry houses as
one of the most important measures.
This required adequate openings at,
or near, the floor level on both the
front and back walls of the house.
"The poultryman who does not pro-
vide such openings pays for them any
way through lower production and
even death of BIRDS" he declares.
Other construction practices in
cludc % insulation of roofs, (2) use
of sheet or roll aluminium roofing to
reflect heat, and CD possible use of
forced air ventilation. Further studies
are needed, he says, before the forced
air ventilation may be definitely
recommended as a practical step.

Suggests Sewage Treatment

Municipalities in Maryland, in
GLIDING those in Garrett county have
received suggestions for making pro-
visions for essential sewage treat
ment works in the near future
Letters have been issued from the
Water Pollution Control commission
pointing out that the discharge of
raw sewage into our waterways has
received the adverse criticism of the
Legislature, the public, civic associ-
ations, and much has been written in
magazines and newspapers concern
ing this practice.
The Water Pollution Control com
mission feels that communities which
now discharge raw sewage will
eventually be ordered to provide
sewage treatment facilities.
