DAv Used Top Names
InFund Drive Without
Approval, Probe Told
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-Wit-
nesses testified today that the
names of President Eisenhower
and former President Truman
were used without authority in
a disabled American Veterans
Embarrassing campaign.
One witness said the DAV
Service Foundation raised more
than S21 million in the three
year period ending last June 80
and that 18 per cent of this
amount was disbursed for well
fare purposes.
The testimony was given be-
fore a State joint legislative
committee investigating charity
fund raising methods,
Methods Defended.
Miles III. Draper. trustees
board chairman of the DAV
Service Foundation, I defended
the committees fund raising
methods. sss
He said puzzle contests and
the sending of inscribed fountain
pens through the mail were in
tended to attract blic&interest
and financial support, and he
challenged the committee to of
fer any other method by which
the foundation could raise funds
at a lower cost.
The committee was told that
the names of Gen. Omar Brad
ley, former chief of STAFF, and
Gen. Carl Gray, head Of the
Veterans Administration, also
were used by the DAV national
organization without authority.
This testimony came from
George H. Kerner. associate
counsel of the committee.
Used In Puzzle Contest.
Mr.. Kerner said the names
were used in connection with a
$4,000 puzzle contest.
He read a letter from James
Hagerty, President Eisenhower's
press secretary, to State Senator
Bernard Tompkins, chairman of
the committee, complaining at
unauthorized use of the Presi-
dents name. The letter was
dated November 80, 1858.
Mr.. Kerner also read letter,

Says Complaint Was Filed.
Mr.. Kerner testified that a
complaint was filed in Wash
ington in 1851 concerning a
DAV puzzle contest for soliciting
funds.
He said that, as a result, the
DAV Service Fund was ordel~
to notify all contestants that
no part of the funds would be
paid directly to any veteran and
that a considerable portion of
the funds collected would be
allocated for advertising and
other expenses.

complaint was filed or who in

information to the contestants.

which saw only essential vacan-
cies filled. Since Defense De-
partment employe turnover as
a result of retirements, resig-
nations and other factors is very
high, the bulk of the employment
cuts were made by these meth
ods. Of course. some direct fir
ings resulted, but they were small
in comparison to the reductions
made by not filling vacancies.
Top Pentagon officials are re-
ported to have decided on a
100000 reduction in the 3.5 mil
lion man military force and this.
of course, will result in further
reductions in civilian employ
ment, except perhaps in the Air
Force Department.
How much of a civilian cut
will result has not been decided,
but another 10 per cent reduc-
tion seems to be in the cards.
This would involve about 10000
jobs.
WAR OF NERVES-The Vet
Grams Administration, whic h
never has been noted for it's
enlightened personnel policies,
appears to be doing everything
it can to lower employe morale
even more.
With employees already jittery
about their jobs. some VA Off
cials have intensified this appre-
hension with statements that
another 25 per cent of the 5000
agency employees here will be
fired.
Other VA officials say the
number of layoffs will only
amount to several hundred, while
still others say they are hopeful
that the current hiring freeze
and vacancy-filling ban can alb
sorb the employment cuts with
out having to dismiss any: pres
ent employees.
No wonder VA employees are
confused and worried, with such
conflicting statements. In all
fairness to VA employees, the
agency should reveal just what
|. the employment cut is going
to be.

Top Labor Leaders
Meet Here Today on
Next Merger Steps
By james Y. Newton

AFL and CIO leaders were
meeting here today formally to
sign a mo raiding" agreement
and to plan the next step toward
merger of the two big labor
organizations.
It was the first meeting of
the Labor Unity Committees
since first the AFL and then the
CIO national conventions rati-
fled the no-raiding pact.
The group of negotiators were
headed by AFL President George
Meany and CIO President Wal
ter P. Reuther.
In the agreement, considered
the first important step toward
labor unity, the AFL And ElO
and their scores Of affiliated IN
ternationals agree not to at
tempt to take over members al
ready organized by the other.
Each Union Must Sign.
In order for the agreement
to become fully effective it must
be signed by each individual
union as we'll as the parent Or
ganization.
There have been indications
that some of the AHL unionS
notably the powerful Tearnsters.
would refuse to sign the pact
with the CIO. The Teamsters
currently are embarked on a ma
tion-wide organizing drive. Dave
Beck, the union president, has
said little of late as to his atti-
tude toward the agreement ban
ming union raids.
In advance of today's meeting
with the CIO, however. AFL Off
cials expressed confidence that
all of their unions would sign.
The CIO Executive Board met
here late yesterday to go over
plans for the meeting with the
AFL.
Jurisdictions Are Problem.
Considered of more impor-
tance than the signing of the
no-raiding pact was what the
AFL and CIO will do next to-
ward bringing about merger.
It was expected that a sub
committee would be set up to
study the problem of overlap
ping jurisdictions between vari-
Gus bodies of the two organiza-
tions.

to suggest ways of merging vari-

Large Lewis Gift
To Aid ILA's Fight
On AFL Reported
BY the AsseeiGied Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-John
L. Lewis was reported today to
have contributed at least $50. 900
to the old international Long
shoremen's Association for use
in its fight against the AFL.
The move was seen as a step
by Mr.. Lewis toward creating a
third big union to rival his CIO
and AFL opponents.
The New York Daily News
said in a copyrighted story that
Mr.. Lewis has given the now
Independent waterfront union
$4,000 and ''reportedly will de-
liver more funds as needed"
The New York Daily Mirror
said it learned Mr.. Lewis 'has
kicked in $4,000 cash" to the
lila with a promise of another
$l25.000 if needed"
Mr.. Lewis, president of the in
dependent United Mine Workers,
said he had absolutely no COM
ment" when asked about the re-
ports at Hazleton, Pa, last night.
Union Kicked Out of AFL.
Reports in recent months have
said the old lila might be in
corporated into a UNIV division
for miscellaneous labor unions.
The lila was kicked out of the
AFL for failing to cleanse itself
of racketeering elements. The
AFL then formed new union,
the ILA-AFL, to challenge the
old pier union. Mr.. Lewis at
various times has bolted both
the AFL and CIO.
The News story, by Sid Kline,
gave these details:
lila President William v.
Bradley yesterday refused to
confirm or deny that Mr.. Lewis
had turned financial backer.
But the lila chief made this
significant disclosure-he is put
ting Is new full-time organizers
on his payroll"
The LILA Treasury was nearly
exhausted when Mr.. Lewis dol
lar-transfusion took place"
Secret Meetings Reported.
Victor Riesels story in the
Mirror said:

ers, was presented on personal
basis to -. Bradley after series
of secret meetings which began

1t was learned Mr.. Lewis "re-
vealed that he had his own in
vestigators combing the water
front and that he didn't like
what they found out about the
racket boys and mobsters.
He made it clear to Bradley
that he was joining the fight
with the understanding thattthe
racket element be kept off the
docks"
The reports said that for the
present at least there is no ques-
ton of afflliation between the
LILA and the UNIV. The reason
given was that the LILA and its
AFT rival have a National Iohor
Relations Board representation
election pending. The news
papers noted the UNIV lacks

was collected, Beverly Seaman
sang a Christmas solo, "In the

Night" the minister lighted his
candle from a candle on the al
tar, then lighted the candles of
the uShers. Each usher, in turn,
lighted the candle of the person

2. At night, lower your beams

A. Overtake and pass only when
