F. Freeland Chew, veteran men,
Der of the Arlington County
Board, has been acquitted of a
charge of malfeaseance in Office.
With surprising suddeness, his
custer trial in County Circuit
Court came to an end yesterday,
after barely three and a half
hours of testimony.
Judge John L. Ingram, who
heard the case without a jury,
granted a motion of Defense
Counsel T. Brooke Howard to dis
miss rule against Mr. Chew to
show cause why he should not be
removed from Office.
"I am of the opinion. Judge
Ingram said after a bench con-
ference with Mr.. Howard and
Special Prosecutor Oren r. Lewis,
that the evidence of sthe COM
monwealth is insufficient and FOR
that reason I find for the defend
ant and am dismissing this rule. "
Spectators Applaud.
The courtroom, half filled with
spectators. broke into applause as
it had last Saturday when Mr..
Chew's colleague, Daniel A. Du-
gan, was acquitted of a similar
charge. The Dugan trial lasted
civ dove hoy;evar
In contrast to rather detailed
charges against Mr.. Dugan, the
grand jury presentment against
Mr., Chew accused him of receiv-
ing a combination television-radio
phonograph set as a gift from
Malcolm B. Devers, president Of
the Congressional School. The
gift was made with the intent Of
influencing Mr.. Chew's actions and
vote. the grand jury said.
Out of nine witnesses called,
only Mr.. Chew and Mr.. Devers
testified before the court reached
its decision.
First witness Called
Mr.. Chew was the first to be
called as an adverse witness by
Special Prosecutor Lewis. Can
adverse witness is not limited to
direct examination but may be
|cross-examined by the side that
calls him.)
Mr.. Chew related how he had
casually mentioned a desire to
purchase a television set to Mr..
IDevers, close friend whom he
had known for several years.
Mr.. Devers said, Before you
do anything, let me look around.
Maybe I can save you some money.
I may be able to get it for you
Wholesale" Mr.. Chew testified.
Later Mr.. Devers telephoned that
he had the set ready for delivery
and mad paid S340 for it, the wit
ness continued. While Mr.. Chew
was attending his sons gradua-
ton at the University of Virginia
IN Charlottesville, the set was de-
livered to his home which had
been left unlocked. the board
member explained.
Because of subsequent service
calls required, Mr.. Chew said,
ihe thought the set had been
bought from the Mid-Atlantic
Sales Co.. wholesale distributors in
Washington.
Exchange of Serial Number. .f
On one of these service calls
last December. he testified, Mid
Atlantic had exchanged the chas-
sis of the television receiver. This
resulted in a change of a serial
number prior to an examination
lof his set on February 18 by Com
Attorney Denman T.

U. 5. Plan 10 Embargo
Sales 10 Red China
Meets U.N. Opposition
BY the Assoeiaied Press

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, May
4.-The United States has pro-
posed a worldwide embargo on
the sale of all arms and war ma
terials to Communist China and
is urging immediate approval by
the United Nations.
United States Delegate Ernest
A. Gross outlined the embargo
plan yesterday at secret meet
ing of the U. MS Special Sane
tions Committee. He said he ex-
pected to have a formal resolu-
ton ready early next week.
Informed quarters said some
delegates had expressed the be-
lief that discussion of sanctions
at this time might hinder rather
than help induce the Peiping re-
gime to accept a ceasefire. These
sources said the opposition was to
the timing and not to the princi-
pie.
Sanction Limitation Voted.
Mr.. Gross spoke to the commit
tee after it had voted, 10 to o, to
concentrate it's efforts on eco
nomic sanctions at this time. He
told newsmen later that the
United States felt it would be
more effective to limit its first
embargo efforts to ban on arms
and strategic materials than to
seek a total economic embargo
Mr.. Gross said many countries
already had banned the shipment
of war materials to Red China, but
that the United States wanted to
formalize the program and set up
special machinery to review the
effectiveness of the embargo.
The United States already has
a total embargo on trade with Red
China. The Philippines also have
a complete ban on trade with the
Communists. In addition. MI.
Gross mentioned Britain, France
and Turkey as examples of coun-
tries who have imposed restric-
tions on the shipment of war ma
terials to the Peiping regime.
Objections Discounted.
eve don't think any member
supporting the United Nations
aims in Korea could reasonably
object" he said, that no U. N
soldier shall be the target of a
bullet manufactured in the free
world"
British sources said Britain and
the other Commonwealth nations
in the 12-member committee
Australia and Canada-favored a
go-slow policy on sanctions. The
Philippines and Brazil were among
those who indicated support of the
United States plan, but most of
the members reserved their final
comment until after they receive
and study the resolution itself.

Southern Baptists Told
OF Membership Gain
At California Farley
By Casper Names
Stor Stoff Correspondent

SAN FRANCISCO, June 90
The Southern Baptist Convention
opened it's 1851 meeting here today
as Porter Routh, secretary of the
conventions department of sta
tistics and information, announced
the denomination now had 7,079,-
889 members.
This membership figure indicates
a gain of 318,624 during the last
year for the 27.788 churches
affiliated with the Southern Bap-
tist Convention, which has its
largest membership in II Southern
States and the District of Columbia.
Thousands of Baptists jammed
Civic Auditorium today to hear
Gov Warren of California well
come the delegates and visitors.
This is the first time the denomi-
nation has held it's annual meet
ing in California.
Won't Join Councils.
DR.. Robert G. Lee of Memphis,
Tenn. convention president, to-
day declared the Southern Bap-
tist organization will join neither
the National or World Council
of Churches because I'VE are not
to be inveigled into ecumenical
adventures that propose Christian
unity linked with compromise.
ITO unite various religious bod
les with their contradictory doc
trines, on anything less than the
clear teachings of the Holy Scrip
lures, is to persuade lions to give
over their appetite for meat, or
the Philistines to have no scissors
for Samson's locks DR.. Lee as
serted.
The speaker told the gathering,
The urgency of this critical day
calls for concentration on eyange-
liSm. This is the time to
husband our resources for the
primary task, the preaching of
the word of God"
Principles Set Forth.
Eight fundamental principles
were set forth by DR.. Lee as those
governing the actions and beliefs
of Southern Baptists. They were
religious liberty and freedom of
individual conscience for all; sep
aration of religions from govern
mental control or influence; inde-
pendence of local congregations;
democratic processes in church
government and society; access to
God without a human priesthood;
simple religious services in COM
mon language; Holy Scriptures as
the center of religious worship, and
salvation by grace alone
Senator Kerr. Democrat, of
Oklahoma last night told more
than 1000 pastors at pre-con-
vention rally that Secretary of De-
fense Marshall has given us the
blueprint for survival and secur-
ity', in his statements advocating
building up our strength and re-
sources while maintaining peace,
even if tense peace, with Russia.

"Binghann
Bingos"
BY Elizabeth b. Edwards

1t is because we are so inor-
dinately proud of our Unit and
of the gains that have been made
for us, that we devote our en-
tire column this week to a his
tory of our Unions activities at
Bingham, as compiled by Will
liam r. Weston, chairman.
Conditions in the Bingham
plant in the depression years of
1892 and 1888 were very bad, as
they were i'm most of the plants
in the city and country. The
Company had Labor under its
thumb, and was really bearing
down. Jobs were scarce, and if
you had one, you considered
yourself very lucky. In the lat
ter part of 1888, the Company
made three wage cuts: Sc the
first time, and 4c twice there
after. Wages for men stood at
&c an hour, and women receiv-
ed &c an hour. The Foremen
were operating a "Red Apple
Club" for their relations and for
the people who would slave the
hardest. You came in and re-
ported each morning, and some
times you got to work all day
and sometimes for only an hour.
But you had TO stay all day-or
you didn't work at all. If you
worked, you were barely exist
ing, SO it didn't take long for
the people to wonder if some
thing couldn't be done a b o u t
tn cir working conditions and
wages.
A few of the boys i'm the plant
pooled their thoughts and ideas
and approached the AFL to see
just what could be done about
forming a unified group. In Feb
ruary 1884, we had the nucleus
of organization in the Shop.
When we finally had to strike,
it lasted 3 days. We returned to
work on the promise of the Com
pany to negotiate within 30 days.
But they failed to keep t h e r
promise, and we hit the bricks
again - this time for 8 weeks.
Upon settlement of this disrup-
ton, we found that we had a
wage pattern of 4Oc per hour for
males, and soc for females. Com
pared to what we have to d a y
these small, hard d-fought-for
gains seem insifnificant, but they
were the beginnings of recogni-
ton and collective bargaining.
AT this time, we were operating
under the designation of Federal
Union No. 18384-AFL.
In 1885, we signed supple
ment to the "a agreement and
Let it stand for another year. In
1886, the most noteworthy gain
was raise from 800 to 906
in our Bonus Pay. 1897 brought
the first real contract as we un-
derstand the term today. This
was signed and set in motion un-
der the aegis of UAW-CIO Local
IL, 1888 saw a renewal of our
'37 agreement and i'm 1899, our
Union was named sole collective
bargaining agent. 1910 was high
lighted by the recognition of a
closed shop agreement through
our seniority clauSe-vacation
pay was increased-and retro
active pay for any injustice on
grievances was guaranteed.
1941 saw the establishment of
z hours pay when employees
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1951-04-06

were called In and sent nome.
Vacation pay was boosted to
80. 1912 brought about many
changes in the seniority Set-up,
and ID minutes paid lunch period
was granted. 1943 was q repeat
of the AZ contract. 1914 brought
permission to smoke on the job,
long needed from a psychologi-
cal standpoint, as well as mark
ed gains in the wage-field. 1945
furthered these monetary gains.
1946 gave us new table of COM
putation for our vacation pay,
in addition to an 18c per hour
boost. Among other strides for
ward, 1947 gave us 6 paid holi-
days. 1948 raised the call-in pay
from 2 hours to 3 hours, as we'll
as a 13c overall increase. 1919
we operated on the '48 set-up.
But 1850 was a B ANN E r
year for us! This year we saw
a further increase in vacation
pay, i.e.. 10 up to l year -
3R 70 for l to 5 years - and
So for 5 years and over - along
with a tangible wage increase.
But the real piece-de- resistance
was the PLUM that was dropped
right into our laps by the com
bined efforts of our Information
al Vice-President Gosser. Re-
gional Director Ballard, the Of
ficers of Local IL and our Shop
Committee, carrying out the
policy of the last Convention
the Insurance and Pension Plan
that is i'm force today.
We have tabuIated the follow
ing figures SO that you might
have facutal evidence of the &C.
onomic achievements that our
Union has obtained for us. Space
does not permit the listing of all
jobs. These were spot-chosen to
bring about as composite a pic
ture as possible of the overall
gains.
In reading this splendid rec
ord of accomplishment, does il
occur to you how long, and pa
tiently, and diligently and inteIl-
igently your past leaders from
the international o f fl C ers on
down to your Shop Committees
have worked to make these
gains? Can you picture in your
mind the worry and concern,
and uncertainty and RESPONSE
bility they suffered i'm their en-
deavors in our behalf? 1t would
be well for all of us to bear this
memory with us at all times,
and to practice what they want
from us - good unionism - CO.
operation - and support.
