Lobbyist Held
Dirty Word. But
It's Still Used

Washington (LPA) - The final
report of the House Select Com
mittee on Lobbying Activities was
something less than a bombshell.
What caught the headlines was
the fact that the committee sug-
gested that the very word 1obby-
ing" be eliminated from the Lobby
Regulation Act. Seems some peo-
pie are slow to register under the
act because they don't want to be
publicly identified as lobbyists. In
short, lobbyist" is a dirty word.
This recommendation was made
in the face of some well-known
facts of Washington life. It's no
secret here that cocktail and din
ner parties, Congressional CALLER
les and hearing rooms, private Of
fices of Congressman and govern
ment officials, bars, restaurants,
nightclubs and country clubs, not
to mention park benches, TEEN with
men and women attempting to in
fluence legislation. For better or
worse, they are lobbyists and iden-
titled as such, however reluctant
they may be to admit it.
Other committee recommends
tions were technical. They called
for exemption of radio and tele-
vision broadcasting from the lob
bying act newspapers and other
periodicals are already exempt) /,
repeal of a section that bars con-
victed lobbyists from lobbying for
three years, simplification of ex-
pense reports, exemption Of per-
sons spending or receiving less
than $1,000 a year and a ban on
contingent-fee lobbying. Conting
ent-fee lobbyists base their charges
on their degree of success.
Removal of the word lobbying"
from the act also would be a tech
nicality. The word appears nowhere
except in the laws title. Presum-
ably, lobbyists would still be call
ed lobbyists and the act would con-
tinue to be known informally as
the Lobby Registration Act.
The committee dug deeper into
the lobbying problem by pointing
out that most of the money spent
on lobbying these days actually is
spent on advertising and the pre-
paration of pamphlets in an en-
deavor to mold the public opinion
that eventually influences legisla-
ton. The committee also hit at the
big business lobbies which conceal
the Identities of their financial
by saying the contribu-
tions are for the purchase of books.
Such contributions should be re-
ported, the committee said. The Re-
publican minority members refused
to sign the report.

Scorn Of Public
Or Love Of ANA?

Washington (LPA)-"What will
it gain these foolish companies to
have the love of the ANA and the
contempt of the consuming pub
lie 2" That's what the National
Assembly for the Advancement of

Resolutions Be
Handed In Early

All the newly elected officers
were on hand as President Sharkey
called the meeting Of Local Union
sc to order on January 8. This was
our first meeting in over two weeks
and the attendance was rather dis
appointing. We would like to see
more members attend meetings in
the new year and lend their aid in
settling our many problems.
With convention time not far off,
now is the time to prepare your
resolutions. A resolution committee
has been appointed and will assist
you in drawing up your proposals.
Now is the time to act in this mat
ter and not wait until the last
minute and then complain if the
local does not see eye to eye with
your resolution. Hand them in early
and let's have ample time to dis
cuss the merits of each resolution.
Our sincere sympathy is extend
ed the family of our late Bro.

avement. He was we'll liked and
will be missed by his many friends.
Bro. Pat Connor has accepted
temporary employment at the Hall

looking forward to a big year of
pigeon racing. Bro. Sharkey recent
ly released 30 of his stock on a
trial flight and rumor has it some
of them have not found their way
home as yet.
Bro. Langdon is also quite
sportsman we hear. A mean man
with a rifle, Bro. Langdon does not
like to return home without shoot
ing something and on one occasion
was reported as scoring a direct
hit on his dog.
The following were added to our
roll, Dom Crumbley, George Cox

Local Union rs
AT Buffalo, n. Y.

Buffalo, n. UT has been a
long time since there has been any
news from Local Union 76, but that
doesn't mean we are not on our
toes. We are working 40 hours a
week for which we are grateful,
and we hope this full time will
continue.
We are happy to welcome Bros.
George Savage from Cambridge,
Ohio, and Louis Singleton from
Clarksburg, w. Va, both casters,
to the Buffalo Pottery family. We
hope they will like it here.
Our hearts are saddened to see
so many of our fine young men
called into the armed forces. Our
prayers and hopes are with them
for a safe return. 1t has always
been hard to understand why men
of all nations, color and creed cam
not live peaceably with one an
other. The hunger for power is of
course the dominating factor, plus
jealousy. Our wonderful United
States will always be prize some
other nations will have their eyes
upon. We must ever be on guard.
We especially want to thank
President Duffy for his recent visit
to Puerto Rica in our behalf. We
know it was a hard fight against
tremendous odds. We are indeed
fortunate to have a man of his
ability and courage at the head of
our organization. We pray for his
good health and strength that he
may continue to lead us.

OraClOn Tor Cne1r uSual JnOuSnI1ul-
ness of our members at the close
of another very prosperous and
successful year.
The many friends of Clarence
b. (Chief) Davis throughout the
trade will be glad to learn Bro.
Davis has been informed that his
name is to be included in the third
edition of who's Who on the
Pacific Coast" now being prepared
for publication in 1851.
Bro. Davis was informed of this
in letter from the A. n Marquis
Company of Chicago, the firm that
also publishes the "Who's Who in
America"
The "Chief" in his usual modest
manner about the selection, attri-
butes it to the fact that he is pres
ident of the American Indian
Citizens League of California. Bro.
Davis is full blooded Cherokee.
He gained worldwide recognition
four years ago when he organized
and conducted a drive for Navajo
relief during the severe winter. At
that time 20 tons of relief supplies
were shipped from the California
area to the snowbound Navajo In
dians on their reservation in north
ern Arizona and New Mexico. Bro
Davis succeeded Will Rogers, Jr.
as president of the league. He was
former vice president.
He came to Redlands with his
wife five years ago and accepted
employment at Universal Rumble.
They have two grown children,
Clarence and Eursella, both of
whom live in Hollywood. He is a
kiln operator by trade and holds
the office of Secretary of Local
Union 214.
A native of Oklahoma he attend
ed the Muskogee public schools
and has two years of college edu-
cation. Prior to coming to Red
lands Bro. Davis was a free lance
actor in motion pictures.
In recent years Bro. Davis has
been devOting much of his time to
promoting the affairs of the AM
erican Indian and has participated
in many of the recent movements
for betterment of Indian conditions.

killing more than 630 900 OF our
people annually, and disabling adj
ditional hundreds of thousands
every year so that today some 10,-
100000 Americans find their health
and productive ability impaired
by heart ailments.
"The fact that the national en-
'ergency is draining our manpower
reserves makes it even more i'm
.perative that we keep the nations
workers in the best Of possible
health and that we utilize the skills
of the large numbers of trained
union craftsmen who are disabled
by heart disease.
"The work of the American
Heart Association offers convinc-
ing evidence of progress in the
drive to bring heart disease under
control and to find ways and means
to put disabled workers on their
feet as useful, productive citizens"
In accepting the invitation, Pres
ident Duffy expressed the convic-
ton that it is vital to support the
1851 Heart Fund Drive, not only
because heart disease is Americas
foremost health problem, but also
because at this time, our country
is faced with the depletion of man
power reserves, due to the national
emergency.
President Duffy stated that he
shared Secretary Tobin's belief
that the work Of the American
Heart Association merits our
wholehearted support in its efforts
through scientific research, to
bring heart disease under control,
and to develop methods of rehabil-
itating disabled workers, so that
they may again become useful, pro-
ductive participants in the nation
al emergency.

Telephone Workers
Win Lockout Benefits

Harrisburg, Pa. (LPA) - The
Communications Workers have won
a victory for their long lines de-
partment which may pay off in the
future.
During the recent telephone
strike long lines operators were
told to cross picket lines or not to
report for duty at other times. The
union called this a lockout" and
appealed for unemployment COM
pensation for the workers. The
State Unemployment Service has
now ruled in their favor, but be-
cause the strike did not last long
enough for them to become eligible
for benefits, the workers will not
collect.

That one one-hundredth is all
that separates Lee Van Gossick
from perfection. It is the one
tiny speck on the most amazing
scholastic record in the univer-
Sity'S history.
Perfection at Ohio State would
be a grade average of points.
GosSick, a 31-year-old Air Force
major with a wife and two chill
dren, will be graduated tomorrow
with an average of 3.99 points.
That means that throughout
five years of college he earned

ception.
Somewhere along the line he
picked up single "B."

Then vacation after those five
years Of terrific study?
No, sir. Two days later Mai.
Gossick will report for duty at the
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base,
near Dayton. Ohio.
Gossick's story is that of a kid
who wanted to fly for the Air
Force. He graduated from Mead
vile (MoD High School in 1887.
He got married. In 1941 he be-
came an air cadet and few 80
missions over North Africa, Sicily
and Italy. The war ended and the
Air Force sent him to Ohio State.
To get his two degrees, he has
had to spend up to 19 hours a
week in class-plus many hours
preparing for those classes.
This required getting up at 6
am, getting home late at night.
Meanwhile, he managed to play
golf-shooting in the 80s-and
sandwiched in some fishing trips
to Canada. And, of course, he took
time out to play with his young
sters, Cindy, 4. and Roger, Z.
What made him work so hard?

Barbara Hutton Leaving

By the Associoted Press

MEXICO CITY, Mar. 15.-Bar-
bara Hutton, wan and disap-
pointed, arranged to leave Mexico
tonight after losing her try for
quick divorce.
Whether she will keep on try
ing to divorce Prince Igor Trou-
betskoy or seek some other solu-
ton to her troubles was a ques-
ton. Friends reported she had
not decided on her next move.
She appeared to have three
choices-to continue the fight in
Cuernavaca court, to file suit In
some other country Cher hus-
bands lawyers say is impossible
while the Cuernavaca action is
pending, or to arrange with the
Prince for an uncontested di-
vorce.
It was Prince Igor's objection
which blocked her efforts to di-
vorce him-her fourth husband
with speed and secrecy. He was
notified by posting Of the divorce

ACP Aids Operation
Of Family Forms

Provision of the Agricultural
Conservation Program to share
the cost of soil and water conser-
walton practices with the indi-
vidual farmer are boom to the
operator of a family sized farm,
saws Mr.. Trotman, County Ad-
ministration officer of tn e
Holmes County PIMA committee.
He points out that although the
Agricultural Conservation Pro-
gram is open to all farmers, there
arc number of provisions which
are especially helpful to those
who operate family-sized farm.
In the first place, says Mr..
Trotman, sharing the cost of con-
servation makes it possible for
the small farmer to protect his
land against erosion and deple-
ton. because of the greater
yields that result, there is not as
much need for the small farmer
to mine his soil to make a living
for his family. Although the
share of the cost may be COM
paratively small, it does give the
small farmer the ''too-hold" he
needs to keep farming without
constantly using up his farm so
that each year finds his land
poorer than the year before.
