4 Suits for S5OO,OOO
Name Virginia UNIV
By the Associated Pres.

WISE, Va, May 10.-The United
Mine Workers Union was en-
broiled in four new civil suits to-
day involving damage claims for
$5O0,00O.
The suits were filed in Wise
County Circuit Court here by four
coal miners, who charged that
representatives of the union and
it's District % terrorized them in
a disturbance near the Kentucky
Virginia border a year ago.
The melee, which occurred on
the Kentucky side of Pound
Mountain May 10, 1851, previously
resulted in two damage suits total
ing $25O,00O.
In the new suits, the miners
said a crowd of about 300 per-
|sons-"agents, members and serv-
ants" of the union-blocked a
highway and stopped their auto
mobile as it headed Ito their
places of employment in Virginia.
They also charged that the
crowd forced them "at pistol point
to sign union membership cards
and recite the union OATH"

u. 5. Employees Unit
Raps Postmaster Plan

The AFL Government Employees
Council yesterday announced its
opposition to President Truman's
reorganization plan to bring 81 900
postmasters under the merit Sys-
tenn.
The council said the plan would
result in the creation of a tre-
mendous patronage machine,
headed by one individual-the
Postmaster General"
The council, representing about
rs Federal employe unions with
more than 100000 classified, pos
tai and per diem workers, said
the plan would greatly increase
the deficiency of the merit sys-
tenn"
"Under the plan the Postmaster
General would be the judge as to
who would serve in the more than
21 900 first, second and third class
post Offices. and would take away
the prerogative of the So Sena-
tors having a look to the qualifi-
cations of the person recommend
ed to be postmaster at the 81 900
post Offices affected" the council
declared.
The council said it is opposed
to the "ever-increasing authority
being centralized in Washington"
Under the Presidents plan, the
|21 900 postmaster jobs would be
removed from Senate conf1rma-
ton.
One of the most powerful figures
on the council is William Doherty
president of the AFL National
Association of Letter Carriers, who
has carried on a bitter feud with
Postmaster General Donaldson
over curtailment of mail service.

extent Of $100 dinner subscriptions,
little else" he says.
But as his practice became more
affluent - having garnered such
clients as the liquor wholesaler and
local Democratic wheel, Milton S.
Kronheim. sr.-his circle of political
acquaintance expanded, Washing
ton being the mecca for politicians
that it is.
Finally, in 1948, one Of these ac-
quaintances. Peyton Ford, Deputy
Attorney General, appointed Attor-
ney Donohue special assistant in the
Justice Department to investigate
reported violations Of the Hatch Act
in Tennessee.
Mr.. Donohue spent weeks querying
more than 1000 employees of the
State Unemployment Compensation
Administration. He recalls he found
swarming evidence of violations, but
recommended against returning any
criminal indictments on grounds
that the violations we're an out
growth Of long established State gov
ernment policies.

Of my report. but somewhere along
the line Of the investigation the in
cumbent State Governor-one of
Boss Crump's machine-was voted

defeat Crump ever had"
The following year, Deputy Attor-
ney General Ford again summoned
Mr.. Donohue. This time 1t was an
assignment to help set up procedures
for screening thousands Of Federal
employees for loyalty to the United
States.
This contest, he says, gave him
an excellent "briefing" on subversive
activities. It proved especially handy.

special Federal detail-the Bridges

agent. The Is men in the directorate
of the General Confederation Of La

including General Secretary Jose
Espejo and Jose Maria Freyre, Min

The masses of union members, es-

Of pay raises and bonuses with which

Now not only has the patroness
been removed. but a struggle for
power within the CGT is likely to be
brought on by some highly potent
leaders who have been excluded from
top posts by Evita. Such a conflict
conceivably could raise to the front

torical situation seemed worse, If any,
thing, than it was with the Demo-
Gratis. Gen. Macarthur fell depress-
ingly short of the promise he showed
before Congress on his return to the
country. The Generals voice Is fine
and his presence is magnificent, but
he took l hour and 10 minutes
counting Interruptions that a more
sensitive speaker wouldn't have coun-
tenanced-to say what could be said
more effectively in Is minutes.
The Coroming Phrase
Herbert Hoover showed substan-
tial improvement over the orator he
was during his administration. He
seemed, for a change, to be at ease.
and he avoided the caroming phrase
that used to be his speciality when
he was President. Nothing he said
could come back with the haunting
deadlineSS Of "two chickens in every
pot" abolition of poverty" or "noble
experiment" But again, like Gen.
Macarthur. he talked too long.
Gen. Eisenhower appeared merely
nervous, which he had good reason
to be. How he shapes up as an ora
tor throughout the campaign will be-
interesting to watch. AS for Senator
Nixon. he was plainly nothing much
more than smart young lawyer
with a bright future.
Two Lessons
A couple of lessons present them
selves which the candidates proba-
bly, will learn. One is that speeches
will have to be shorter if the broad
casting companies are to be paid on
time basis and If the public Is ex-
pected to listen all the way through.
The other is that more attention will
have to be given to gestures and
manner than was necessary when
the man at the microphone could
not be seen.

The case is still hanging fire before

MIR. Donohue regards this case as
his most important public service.
Moreover, he won Nationwide acco-
ladies' for his role as the Bridges
prosecutor.
Brief OPS Stint
After brief return to his private
law practice here, Mr.. Donohue
found himself called by OPS Chief
Michael Disable to be assistant di-
rector Of enforcement Of price regu-
lations. He accepted in the belief
that he would actually be an en-
forcer. When 1t turned out that
the FB1 would have that job, he
grew disenchanted and resigned
after a successor had been found.
Shortly afterward. he got what he
insists was surprise nod from Pres
ident Truman to be q Commissioner
Of the District of Columbia. His
was one Of the few names that had
not been mentioned in connection
with the post.
Democrat .Donohue Is known to
have friends in the White House and
other well-f1xed places such as Gov.
Stevenson's own State. He has
already campaigned tunsuccessfully
in 1850 Senatorial race in CALI
formal against the present Repub.
lican candidate for Vice President.
On the face Of 1t. his credentials"
Of party honor rank high.
Still, as Mr.. Donohue estimates his
own chances for the Democratic Ma
tional Committee Craftsmanship, ITS
not like having the support of dele
gates behind you. It boils down to
matter Of personal choice by the
Democratic presidential candidate"
Evening star., 1952-08-03

Never, within the recollection of
local politicos, has a Washington man
been tapped for the topmost post in
the councils of either major political
party, the Craftsmanship of national
committee. Election year 1852 finds
the Nations voteless Capital perhaps
closer to that considerable political
distinction than ever before.
The Candidate" OF course, is F.
Joseph Donohue-Democrat, District
Commissioner, attorney, "Jiggs," in
approximately that order of impor-
tance.
Mr.. Donohue's name first appeared
on the national stage as a likely
choice for the Democratic National
Committee Craftsmanship at the
height of the party's convention
which ended a week ago. Prior to
that there had been only mufaed
proposals in the background.
Well Regarded in Party
That Mr.. Donohue is well regard
ed in many party circles across the
Nation is attested by signs of sup
port from California to Connecticut.
He is understood to have been ap-
preached on his availability by nu-
merous party standard-bearers dur
ing the convention, in which he
served as chairman Of the District
of Columbia delegation.

For example, his reference to his
