Howdy Folks:
This week we want to bring
to your attention some of the
people who serve you in various
ways without pay.
First the election committee
who handle all our elections.
This committee has Ralph KlOS-
terhaus as chairman, assisted by
Tom Blevins, Tom Smith and
John Owed.
The Sick Committee does an
outstanding job and devotes
many to detail work. No sick
person is ever neglected or for
gotten. This committee handles
several hundred dollars each
year and never a squaWk.
Anna May Harpster and Alice
Nichols are the corresponding
secretaries. Members are Tom
Smith, Robt. Sutton. Ralph Rus
sell is the financial secretary
and treasurer.
Steve Wasikowski and Frank
Wore are the bowling captains
and doing a bang UP job.
The Flower fund is maintain
ed by the profit from machines
and raffles thru out the year so
we never have any collections
for flowers but all are remen-
bered. Miss Ward, the bOokkeep-
er, takes care of the money for
us. The shop chairman does the
buying of the flowers.
The T. S. T. Credit Union by
the records has been an out
standing success. Thanks to the
many people who have served
and are now serving. Space does
not permit me to name all of
you. But a vote of thanks and a
huge bouquet to you.
The executive shop committee
are Herb Russell, chairman, Ed
Napolski, vice-chairman, p u !

1t seems strange for the COM
pany to hire few persons for
just one week then lay them off,
If you can figure it out then
you are genius and don't have
to work for a living, but / don't
think anybody is.
What has happened to Art S.
OF the machine shop, why the
fOrlOrn look on his face? You'd
think he lost all his Buddies.
Harry r.. of inspection had a
new boss last week, meaning
Louis F., don't let him get in
your hair, Harry.
Were there q few head aches
last week when the people re-
cieved their income tax report.
Didn't think you m d e that
much, did you, well it will 60
for a good cause, namely the
war effort and maybe this year
it will be worse then last.
Who has more trouble in one
day then Tanner of the auto
matics. Some days perso n
can't get ahead.

been initiated into the machine
shop officially. Anybody who
runs the multi-tap machine and
snaps few taps is one of the
boys. Right fellows?
Charlie B. of Dept. 2, had his
troubles last week running the
screw machine. The darn thing
just wouldn't work the way he
wanted it to. What say we throw
it out the w n d o w, b ct he
thought of that.
Did you ever see Eddy c. of
Dept. 2 stop and think for a
while? Could it be he is think
ing about the THING"
Say Joe and Al our u n h
period is from IL to 1890 and
not before, if you boys get too
hungry, then it is different, but
how about the rest of us.
What is happening in few
of the other Dept, surely there
is something going on that you
would like to let us know if you
are still in existence, don't be
bashful tell us.
That's all folks, see you next
week

If you start feeling like a un-
ion old-timer and want to talk
over the early days of UAW-
CIO, head for the Mail Order
Department of Willys-Overland
They can talk your language.
There were 585 on the senior
ity lists in W-O Mail Order on
the first of the year. And they
had a total of 9,165 of seniority
among them.
Nine Thousand one hundred
and sixty five years of seniority
- and 9,165 years of pension
credits, too. That averages out
at 16 years apiece, on the aver
age, which means that good
many of them have twice that
much.
That's where you'll find them

- the Wor k ers who went
through the wars - the ones
who knew what organizing in a
dark room meant, knew what
the militia looked like when they
hit a picket line, knew what
long lay-offs followed by short
weeks could do to family &C.
OnOmy.
They're the ones who know
WHY the union was built, and
know WHAT the union has
done.

They can remember multiply

Senaie 0verrides Truman veio on
 Pensions 69 f0 2

WASHINGTON, Sept. i9-tR-The Senate has joined the House in overriding President Trumans veto of bill increasing the pensions of veterans disabled in civil life. The vote was 69 to 9.
 The action writes the measure into law despite MT. Truman's objec- tions.
 In his veto message of Aug. 6 MT. Truman estimated the bill would cost the government about $16,700,- 900 the first year and by the end of the century, as veterans advanced in age, would cost about $400, ,000,- 900 year. Veterans with non-service disabilities now get pensions rang ing from $60 to SIP month. The bill Mir Truman vetoed would raise this to $120 a month.
 The bill would not affect pensions of veterans whose disability resulted from military service.
 No Senator voiced support of the Presidents veto during the one-hour debate that preceded the vote on the measure.

Senator Asks AII-0ut Use of Atomic Bombs

WASHINGTON, Sept 19- R - Senator McMahon (D-Conn) has called for all-out mass production of atomic weapons to equip a mighty atomic army, navy and air force. He said emphasis on atomic rather than conventional armaments would save U. s. taxpayers $3O,000, ,O00, ,0OO a year.
 The chairman of the Senate House atomic energy committee de- clared in a prepared Senate address that all-out mass production could bring the cost of an A-bomb down to less than that of tank.
 He urged that this country spend s6,000 100000 a year to equip an atomic army, navy and air force he said could guarantee American se- curity by making it impossible for Russia to attack the free world.
 He said that only $750,000, ,000 actually was paid out of the treasury for the atomic program in the year ending last June 30.
 Dollar for dollar" McMahon de- clared, atomic deterring power is actually hundreds of times cheaper than INT. An atomic weapon can produce, at a cost of twenty or thirty dollars, the same explosive force which costs literally thousands of dollars to produce by ordinary means"

The W ashington Merry Co., Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON. Jovial Mike Di Sale, the price administrator went down to the White House the other day and broke the news to President Truman that he wanted to retire from his prickly, unpop- ular price job on December l.
 Truman vigorously demurred. He protested that Mike must stay on, finally agreed only that he would discuss the matter again with Di Sale in November.
 During the course of the conver- sation, the President asked Di Sale what he wanted to do when he went back to private life, and the price administrator replied that he wanted to wait and see what Frank Lausche, the present Demo- cratic Governor of Ohio, did. Lausche, who refused to oppose Taft last year, is popular with Re- publicans and may run against COP Senator Bricker. But if he doesn't, Di Sale told Truman, he would like to run himself.
 When we have a Democratic Senator from Ohio," shot back the President, Tets have a real Dem- ocrat. Not a counterfeit like that fellow Lausche."

No Extension in
 trolling. GiIInef fishing on Taku

There will be no extension in the almon trolling season in South astern Alaska, c. Howard Balt- %, assistant regional director of the Fish and Wildlife Service said today. The season closes Sept. 20 at 6 pm.
 He further announced that gill; netting would end on the Taku md Copper Rivers at the same ime as trolling closes. Fishermen lad asked an extension in these treas.
 No announcement has yet been made in answer to request for m extension in the Yakutat area. Frank Hynes, fisheries supervisor md Gus Hilsinger, fisheries ag- mt, are surveying the situation here today and decision will be made on their return.
 Baltzo said the decision to close ,he Taku and Copper River fish, ng at the regular time was based on the quality of the fish. He said they are deteriorating rapidly which makes them more valuable for spawning than for commercial purposes. He added the runs are .alling off in volume and no sur plus of fish exists.
 "Cohoes have been the main- stay in the livelihood of trollers and gillnetters for several years now" Baltzo said. Part of the reason is due to the substantial escapements secured after the close of the season.
 He added: Tt would be very foolish to kill the goose that lays the golden egg as we have seen what has happened in that line in other areas"
