joyable. Due to a recurrence of

tend the vesper worship and the

message. After the morning SER
vice the choir and congregation
motored TO Carver's Ranch
where they worshipped and lis
tened to a message delivered by
Rev. j. J. Johnson.

executive council to defy the

FOURTH TERM
1917 1913

The statement that ex-Presi-
dent Rojo left a sinking ship
in 194S was a gross and cruel
misrepresentation.
1. The Board of Admin
strators, of which h e was
Chairman, took over the ad-
ministration of Local No. Z
as early as June "a, 1947.
2. On March ~, 1913, the
Hearing conducted by the N.
L. r. b. on the case between
G. 1. o., Local No. and the
Seafood Union was already
concluded. President Rojo, as
Research Director of the I'm
ion, did much of the research
needed in the preparation for
the case. He did not tender
his resignation until March
81. The decision, however, did
not come to the Union until
about a month later when his
successor was in office.
The fourth term of T. A.
Rojo, 1947 194S, was also
solvent. But $65,00O.0O0 of
the dues collected in 1947
was tied up in court until
about the middle of 1913. The
ex-President Rojo, balancing
the budget is simple mathe-
matics: - DO NOT SPEND
MORE THAN YOU GET!
The present administration
has never been able to bal
ance the budget from 1913
to 1858, partly because t
does not believe in business
like administration and part
Iy because it favors financ-
ing endless court IitigataiOns
that bring us at IOggerheads
with the U. S. government.
Although he was no longer
President, he remained a 10y
al member of Local No. T.,
which became Local No. &c
and later l. l.. w. u, Local
No. 81. He spent over a week
of intensive and extensive re-
search on the preparation of
the data needed for the 1913
case on the $65,OOO.OOO dues,
which the Union won.
In 1862 1853, he was
Chairman Of the Building
Committee, which helped in
revamping the 1850 plans for
the renovation of the Union
building which he purchased
for US in 1912 1913.

coordination with the Salmon
Industry and the U. S. govern
ment, used the press, the
radio and even movie slides
to recruit men from Califor-
MIA and Arizona.
2. Nevertheless, the Union
was short of 200 men. The
President, in cooperation with
the representatives of the Sal
mon Industry and the War
Man Power Commission, solv-
ed the shortage by having
the U. S. Navy transport 200
men in naval planes from
North Alaska to South Alaska,
whose working season is in
full swing when the cannery
season in the North ends.
8. The 1914 War Bond
Drive, sponsored by Local No.
z, in Seattle, raised money
to buy a Macarthur Bomber.
The Union again bought a
$1O,OOO.OOO War Bond!

1t is very clear from the
record that while Brother
Rojo is a man of theory, he
is also a man of wide expert
ence, fully capable of execut-
ing his policies.
PLATFORM
1. To resume policies in the
four previous ROJO admin
STATIONS that are applicable
to the present and to the
future.
2. To avoid indiscriminate
use or misuse of Union funds
on endless court litigations
that are frequently needless
and hopeless and which puts
us on the spot before the
U. S. government and the
American public.
3. To give a fair break to
the young generation, both
in employment and training
for leadership.
4. To work for the election Of
men of higher caliber for office.

executive council.
The Union council did accept
the resignation. That was on
March 81, 194S. Time indicated
the President. His stern warnings
were unheeded when he gave them
but before 194S was over, sensible
members were saying, "Rojo was
right"

FIRST TERM
1939-194O

1939-194O
1. Cheaper, faster and more
efficient dispatching system.
2. Careful checking of the
actual disbursement of money
with the budget approved by
the Executive Council and the
members resulting in the wip-
ing out of the $12,OO0.OO in
debtedness of the previous adj
ministration and leaving in
the treasury $13,228.28 on
November 1, 1910, for the
incoming administration.
8. Introduction of unremov-
able, incorruptible photostatic
membership cards and records.
4. Established fair racial
quota.
5. Local No. fought vail
antly with it's affiliates and
the Salmon Industry against
the noisy demand, ALASKA
FOR ALASKANS", climaxed
by the introduction of a bill
in Congress designed to eli
inmate nonresident workers
from the Alaskan canneries.
6. Regular office hours, adj
vance planning and formula
ton of policies, division Of
work and coordination among
the various offices and de
partments of the Union.
7. Checked corruption, IA
voritism and the spoil system,
resulting in a more orderly
and peaceful Union, with
stronger support from our az
filiates and greater prestige
with the labor front, the press
and the public.
8. Employment Of a battery
of able lawyers who defended
Union cases at a very reason
able rate. In eight years they
hardly lost any case. They
charged much less from 1889
to 1947 than what their sue
cessors charged in one year:
1947 194S.
The financial, dispatching,
administrative and secretariai-
reforms of this administration
inaugurated several prosper
Gus years: 1889 194S, when
the Union was on solid, fin
ancial foundation. The indus
try, intelligence and high eff
ficiency of the Chief Clerk,
Silvino Tallido, did much to
execute Presidential reforms
in the secretarial department,
under secretary I. Jossue, as
sisted by Treasurer Ventura.
SECOND TERM

Salinas and San Francisco

Man and ; Vehicles
Crash Iron Curtain
BY the Assecioted Press

BERLIN, Mar. ia truck
and a bus, both towing trailers
loaded with goods, and a motor
car crashed the Iron Curtain
unmolested yesterday. A man
afoot made the break under
Communist gunfire.
The vehicles escaped to West
Berlin through a Red police
checkpoint on the French sector
border, Western police said.
They did not say how many per-
sons were in them.
The truck and trailer loaded
with furniture sped across in the
early morning. The bus and
trailer came through in the
afternoon, followed by the motor
car. The Eastern police guard
we're apparently so surprised they
did not open fire.
The pedestrian, Alfred Joa-
chin, %, an East German resi-
dent, had been arrested at his
home near the French sector for
aiding other refugees, he told
Western sector authorities. AS
he was being led away, he
jumped fence into the French
sector and hid behind some
bushes. Communist police fired
at him but missed.
Meanwhile, with the problem
of handling the inflow of East
German refugees into West Ber-
lin becoming increasingly acute,
Mayor Ernst Reuter- said today
he will discuss the situation with
U. S. State Department officials
on two-week visit to the United
States. He planned to reach New
