Since both sisters are complete

their onstage appearance will give
local citizens an opportunity to

such a way as to preclude sepa-

be to kill them.

A LETTER FROM
BILL LANTAFF
Dear Neighbor:

Lear Ne1gnDor:
A question raised by many
people these days is, whats all
the fuss about confirming Charles
Wilson and his aides in their top
jobs in the Department of De-
fenSe?"
Well, it boilS down to this. The
law clearly states that no one in
the employ of the United States
Government may participate in
negotiating business with firms in
which they have holdings or are
associated.
We are presently faced with the
largest peacetime expenditures in
the history of America. Largest
item in our budget is military
spending which is controlled by
the Department of Defense. OF
each one O our tax dollars, near
ly 60 cents is earmarked for
spending by this Department.
Many Of the larger military
contracts are held by the automo-
bile industry and the Government
does more business with General
Motors than with any other auto
mobile manufacturer. Charles
Wilson, former president Of Gen.
eral Motors, when considered FOR
confirm alton was found to have
over two and one-haf million
dollars worth Of General Motors
stock. 1t was the opinion OF the
Senate that Wilson should dis
pose Of his holdings so that there
would be no future doubt OF MS
monformina to the letter OF the
law. The same situation was true
with respect to the men ne hao
selected to serve with him in the
Defense Department They, too'
held a large amount OF stock IN
companies that held government
contracts.
The House Government Oper-
atoms Committee Of which your
Congressman is member, I'M
covered many examples OF gross
waste and inefficiency in the pro-
curement of automobile parts
alone. a program in which we
spend over a billion dollars each
year.
We found, on one occasion, the
Military advertised for thou-
sand generators Of a certain type.
OF the bids submitted, two were
sionificant. One was from an
automobile manufactures TOR
$77.20 each, and the other from
the oriolnal manufacturer Of the
generator whose price was $SI.
Investigation disclosed that the
generator was in fact made oy
this manufactures and sold 70
this automobile concern tor $oz,
but Uncle Sam had to pay $25.2o
more for each generator.
In connection with the pro-
curement of an automobile heater,
ten invitations to bid were ex-
tended but only one bid was re-
ceived - that came from a GER
tain automobile manufactures.
The Government purchased this
heater from the automobile con-
Germ for $51.95. Investigation re-
vealed that the heater originally
cost $22.61.
When more than three-fourths
of our budget is for military
spending, there is little wonder
why the Senate proceeds with
caution in confirming the men
who will hold the purse strings.
Sincerely,
Bill Lantaff

Coca-CoIa Strikers
Violated Taft Law,
NLRB Examiner Rules

Actions Of striking Coca-Cola
company driver-salesmen during
picketing of retail stores han
ding the soft drink here con-
stituted a secondary boycott, a
National Labor Relations Board
examiner ruled today.
But the union will seek modi-
f1cation of a Federal Court in
junction banning picketing of
the retail outlets, it was an
nounced, on the basis that a par
tial victory was won in the de-
cision.
Trial Examiner Charles w.
Schneider cited four incidents
in which pickets violated the
Taft Hartley law. He dismissed
a second complaint of unfair
practices by means of mass pick
citing.
A strike has been in progress
against the local bottling COM
pany since January 27, when As
members of Local 81, Brewery
and Beverage Drivers and Work
ers Union (AFL Teamsters)
walked off their jobs in union
recognition dispute.
Can Be Taken to Court.
The intermediate report may
be appealed to the full board
and can be carried from there
to the Federal courts,
The union has charged the
company with unfair labor prac-
tices in refusing to recognize the
union and bargain collectively.
Hearing of these complaints was
continuing today.
The examiners decision re-
fused to hold so-called consumer
picketing at retail stores illegal,
citing a prior ruling of the NLRB
that such picketing at entrances
used exclusively by customers is
legal. However, the question of
customer picketing at entrances
used by both customers and de-
livery trucks was not ruled on by
Mr.. Schneider.
Writ Issued in May.
The strikers were enjoined by
Federal Judge Alexander Holt
zoff, on May 7, from picketing
retail establishments handling
the soft drink. The injunction
did not extend to picketing at
the bottling plant.
! Martin F. O'Donoghue. coun-
sci for the union, said the in
junction bans all forms of
p1ckeClng away from the plant
On the basis of the examiners
findings, lifting of the ban or
picketing of company trucks at
the scene of deliveries and GUS
toner picketing at retail store
entrances used by customers
only will be sought.
The decision reported that the
four incidents on which the Sec
ondary boycott finding were
based were actions taken by the
strikers contrary to orders is
sued by union officials.
The actions involved "induce-
ment and encouragement" of de-
