He had led the union fight that won security
for those same workers.
He helped win those people pensions.
He helped win those people insurance bene-
fits.
He helped win them paid vacations paid
holidays and more and more Of the good
things of life
He helped win those things in one pitched
battle after another - pitched battles against
tear gas on the picket lines and over the bar
gaining table.
The enemies of Labor feared him because
they could not buy him and so they called
him unreasonable
They feared him because they could not stop
him - and SO they called him dictator
They feared him because they could not
scare him - and so they pretended he some
sort of menace!
Some deserted him. Some turned against him.
Some sold out
But - because he had built that union well
- because he had unionized wherever he had
organized the overwhelming majority of the
union stood firm.

Convention

After the invocation by Msgr.
Robert B. Navin, president of st.
Johns Collie &c in Cleveland,
O'Malley introduced the presi-
dent,
President Philip Murray adj
dressed the convention Monday
morning. and former Congress
man Helen Gahagan Douglas ON
Tuesday morning (see excerpts
elsewhere in the JournaD.
It opene d as a sober hard
working convention with a lot
of unfinished business before it.
The new dues structure was
brought forward as the next
practical step in the announced
drive for the annual wage; for
the continued fight on the po-
litical front to stop, and roll
back, the encroachments of
anti-union reaction in Washing
ton and in the local and state
governments; for an intensified
organizing drive, one of them
being the predicted drive to or
ganiZe an estimated 100000
forecast in an expanded aviation
manufacturing industry; and in
such parallel battles as the
establishment of a new voice to
combat the hostile press, an in
surance company to derail the
huge profits earned on the
working people by the private
insurance companies, and other
programs as much a matter of
community concern as they are
matters of concern to Auto
workers.
The price-wage-profit prob
lem stayed on the floor through
Output there by Walter Reu-
ther opening address, kept there
by Philip Murray's address and
the address by Mrs. Douglas,
and brought to the delegate
level by resolutions put on the
floor.
And these essentially eco
nomic matters were tied in
again with the political inroads
made by reaction in 1850 and
predicted as the major fight i'm
| 1851 and 1852.
It was a convention patiently
dedicated to the proposition that
the largest democratic trade un-
ion in the world has outgrown
the parochial and provincial
problems of self interest and
selfish gain, and had moved into
the more mature realm of COM
munity and national response
bility.
It was obvious that the lead
ership would meet this new
challenge and that the rank
and-file would support them.

tent was TO gum the convention
on a six or seven hour roll call,
even though the decision was
apparent.
1t was on the request for a
roll call that the maximum op-
position was tabu1ated, with 495
votes recorded in favor. No
count was taken of the objection
to a roll call vote, since those
in favor failed of the 700 estab-
lished by the Rules committee
as the minimum equir d to
force the convention into t h e
delegate-by-delegate count.
During the early debate on the
dues structure, the convention
turned on one of the demonstra-
tions which regulars at UAW-
CIO conventions have come to
expect, with homegrown ora
tors hitting the floor to express
their views.
During that debate the con-
vention got it's first big laugh
when delegate from Atlanta
Georgia foug h for the mike,
finally got it, and opened up on
President Reuther with, 'Wal-
ter, I'm going to straighten you
out, see?"
His delivery had the delegates
and the considerable gallery in
Mysteries for twenty minutes.
His point, IN e n he finally
got it out, was that "Walter"
had better pay more attention
to the rank-and-file and less to
the "dead stalks" around him.
Reuther assured him t h a t he
would.
An early furry of debate was
occasioned by the 700 rule, as
left wingers rallied to fight it
off, declaring that such a rule
precluded roll call in opposi-
ton to any administration-Sup-
ported proposal.
But the report Of the Rules
committee carried.
Debate was touched off, too,
by the resolution on Korea,
where the Party Line got a
thorough airing. The resolution
carried.
The first formal vote of the
convention was on the motion
to accept the Convention Call.
1t was moved by Ernie Love,
delegate from Doehler-Jarvis,
Local 1858, the first delegate to
hit the floor with formal mo-
ton.
Convention call followed the
opening address by President
Walter. P. Reuther (see page 50
who had been introduced by Pat
O'Malley, regional director, pre-
siding as temporary chairman.

Gosser Nomination

He - and they together - turned back
that assault.
But - even while this assault was at its high
est pitch and even today - while it is still
going ON - he led and is still leading the organ
ization of the unorganized - within the skilled
trades and the competitive shops and in the run
away shops.
He is carrying on this organizing drive all
over the nation in every region to bring the un-
ion to workers who need it most.
He is doing this because no concentrated at
tack in one region can swerve him from his job.
The unorganized workers in scattered plants
like Borg Warner, Auto-Lite, the Dana Corpora
ton - in the fOundries - in the Die Casting
shops all over the country have looked to
this union man for help and even at the height
of the campaign against him, he has brought
them that help.
No man in this union anywhere at any time
has been put under dirtier - more unscrupulous
ASSAULT
No man in this union anywhere at any time
has less deserved this persecution!
And so - with deep humility - with great
pride and with affection I place in
nomination for Vice President of this great
union, the name of Richard T. Gosser.

tycoon, art collector and owner Of the
race horse ''Your Host
You may have read how Goetz bought
a hitherto uncatalogued self-portrait of
Van Gogh called Study by Candlelight''
for 5000 in Europe, and imported it to
his home in California. Then a storm
broke. Many connoisseurs said it was
genuine. An equal number declared it
bogus. Goetz told me how he figured a
way to make the US. Treasury render
final verdict Here's his story:
According to statutes on the books, art
masterpieces may be imported into our
country free, but on reproductions there is
an impost of 10 per cent of the purchase
price.
Goetz shipped his controversial Van
Gogh back to Amsterdam, then reimported
it, valued at $4,000. The first time it
came over, customs officers had accepted
it as an original without question, but now
the hubbub and excitement put them in
pretty quandary.
''Why not reduce the estimated
value to $5OO?" the Treasury men
begged Coetz. ''Then you pay only
nominal $50 duty, and we're off the
hook ''Nothing DOING" said Coetz
firmly. ''If it's an original - and I'm
convinced that it isl don't pay a
bloody cent. If it's a copy, pay my
$1,000 duty like a good citizen
Result: The Treasury Department had
to hire the greatest art experts in the land
to decide the issue. They finally rendered
their verdict - the picture is genuine!
Back on the wall of the Goetz study it
went, now worth conservatively. five times
its purchase price, and the dealers who
treated disconsolately into their galleries
muttering, IF you've got to Van Gogh,
you've got to Van Gogh."
CUSTOMS OFFICERS unwittingly
played another important role in the
legalizing of James Joyce's famous novel.
Ulysses" Prior to 1884, copies printed
in Paris were confiscated as obscene"
whenever homecoming tourists were
caught with same.
The publishing firm of Random House
went to court to dispute this judgment and
engaged Morris Ernst as counsel. Critics
the world over had insisted the Joyce novel
was landmark in literature. but the
question was how to get their opinion

this sort the prosecution had succeeded
in ruling out outside criticisms, pro or con.

The defense hit upon an ingenious STRAIT
agem. A hundred tributes to Ulysses"
by famous authors and critics were pasted
into one copy of the book, and special
messenger dispatched to bring it to New
York aboard the Aqmtamia. When the
ship docked, emissaries from the pub
fishers were ON hand to demand that
this particular copy be impounded by
the customs, waving aside the kindly
officer who urged, Glide it in your

States Attorney General, that we will brook no further interference in major political appointments in Alaska, by appointed Governor Gruening any of his henchmen.
 "The selection of applicants for United States Attorney and United States District Judge for the Second Judicial Division of Alaska is under the by laws of the Democratic Party Alaska strictly the business of the Second Division Democratic Con- mittee.
 We welcome the applications of qualified mem- bers of Alaskas legal profession for either position There is one further qualification = they must be Democrats and should receive the endorsement of the Bar Association of the Judicial Division in which they reside.
 Your very truly
 "/s/ HOWARD LYING
 Democratic National Committeeman
 flor Alaska"
 We arc entirely in agreement with Committeeman Lyng and take this occasion to pledge support in his fight to restore the Democratic party to it's mem bership
 As regards the candidacy of Attorney General Williams for the Second Division judgeship can think of attorney better qualified for the Federal bench. During his tenure Attorney General of Alaska, Williams has consistently demonstrated high degree of professional ability coupled with unmpeach able integrity.
 In the performance of his official duties, Gerry Williams has consistently interpreted the law without regard to political considerations In several instances notably that of the Reorganization Act. he has rendered opinions distinctly unpalatable to admins raton leaders. As member of the Board of Ad- ministraton he has consistently adhered to the law in the best interests of the people, rather than favored clique.
 We inclined to wonder whether administration circles considering Williams for the Nome judge ship in recognition of his ability and integrity or merely to remove him from the post where these qualities have long thwared absolute dictatorship.
 Which ever is the and if Williams is inter ested in the Second Division judgeship we agree with National Committeeman Lyng that the appoint ment is the business of the Second Division Demo- cratic Committed rather than the Gruenng machine.

Although political appontee Governor Gruening has apparently forgotten that he his job to the Democratic party organization, it appears that the party has not Gruening and his clique have repeat edly by-passed the regular Democratic organization in making political appointments; often and so fla grantly that the Central and Divisional committees have frequently been made to appear ridiculous.

3,S00-Foot Long AirfieId Plan
 0i CAA. Seward

Plans for the construction of foot long airfield at Seward have been approved by the Civi Aeronautics Administration, it i announced by Tony Schwamm, tht director of aviation for the Terri tory of Alaska.
 It is expected that bids will bt asked early in 1852 in order that heavy clearing may be accomplished while the frost is still in the ground Schwamm stated. The new Sewaro airport is scheduled for completion early in the summer of 1852 and will be finished in the first stage WitE a gravel surface.
 The 3800-foot runway will enable planes of the DC-3 type and larger to fly into the main seaport con- meeting the railbelt of Alaska with the water freight facilities.
 Although the new runway is not directly into the prevailing south east summer winds, Schwamm de- clared, it will be headed into the severe winter winds which come from the north through Resurrec- tion River canyon. The winter winds are so severe that flying is impos- sible for long periods of time.
 The new location of the runway can be extended to 4500 feet If necessary for future development The new runway will have definite strategic value. If the railroad con- nections were ever disrupted, freight and supplies could be moved to An- chorage and other interior points of the territory from the new field.
 The Seward airport has been planned for the past two years but the acquisition of the property has held up the project until the past few months, Schwamm pointed out.
 George Apostle, special assistant attorney general for the territory, did the abstracting of titles on the property along with the negotiations with the land owners. Victor c. Rivers is the engineer on the pro- ject.
 The Seward airfield is the 24th airport or seaplane float project ap- proved, under construction or com pleted by the Department of Avia- tion during the past 26 months when the department was estab- lished under the Federal Airport Act.

Aleufians Sill 70.
 Dh,Gl tQs Doing Business,
 Claims Berger Co.

SEATTLE o Septgs 28-iR-World War II veterans fwho sweated out the Aleutians will be surprised to learn the fog-drenched islands still are doing business.
 In fact, the Berger Transporta- ton Go. reports, some of the Aleu- tians, which to GIs' eyes few years ago seemed fit only for defense bases and storm -harried airports are booming. Canneries have moved back in on some of the islands, and livestock now graze in places where quonset and Pacific huts used to shelter Uncle Sam's military men of the north.
 Some of the finest wool in the world comes from sheep grazing in the Aleutians, observers say.
 Its motorship Garland supplies some of these mildly thriving Aleu- tian settlements.
 Right now the Garland is loading at Ames Terminal preparatory to taking off with 300 tons of food and other supplies for Umnak, Unalaska, Akutan and Sanak on the chain. And regularly once a month, as far as fog and storms will allow, the Garland follows a schedule of put ting in at these isolated settlements whose people have found home in the Aleutians.
