NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
LOCAL 497, UAW-cIo
STEVE ]. NOvAk, PRES.

II is pretty we'll understood tlat
a good union keeps a constant vigil
for fairness; that it gains and pro-
tects benefits for its members. But
it is a little known fact that in
many cases an unSelfish union
actually protects benefits even for
people who are not members at
all
Last week in this column we
mentioned in an article that we
have wonderful Union. We have
MANY reasons for a statement such
as this. For example here is a
couple of good ways in which our
union displays its brOadmindednesS
and brotherly attitude.
Every year at Christmas time
all our children, of supervisors,
union members and foremen get
together to enjoy grand Christ
mas party We are very glad this
is possible. And what makes this
possible? Our Christmas Fund
which is made up of the revenues
from the cup-vending machines
throughout the plant When rev
enue from these machines are in
adequate the union and company
pitch in enough to make the diff
ference.
Once every year we have Com
pany and Union Picnic for all
Standard Products employees =
foremen, supervisors and union
members alike. This is made pos
sible by a portion of our dues that
is set aside into our recreation
fund, plus a donation from the
company.
We can point out Local 497'S
generosity much further. In our
Contract we have clause which
encourages any Of our union men,
bers to be promoted to any super
visory position that may be offer
ed. Once a Local 497 member ac-
cepts a supervisory position he is
no longer a member of this union
nor does he pay dues, yet while
working in the supervisory position
he continues to accumulate senior
ity rights, holds his pension credits
and other benefits. When he ceases
to be a supervisor, foreman, or
whatever he may be named, he
may return to our bargaining unit
WITH ALL THE RIGHTS AND
PRIVILEGES GUARANTEED BY
OUR CONTRACT TO ALL.
At the time of his return to the
bargaining unit (union) he shall
fill such jobs as may be open due
to no bids having been filed for
such job - or if no jobs are open
he displaces the employee witt the
least seniority then working, pro-
vided his seniority shall entitle
him to do so. And all of these
rights and privileges are without
a penny's cost to these people, not
even a donation to our recreation
fund.
In these modern, fast-changing
times, as positions Change, maybe
old sayings change also, such as,
'It's better to receive than to
give?"
Latest report is that Grandma
Estep is still under the weather,
but feeling better. Best wishes,
Grandma. Remember, you can't
keep a good worker down for long,
not a faithful union member and
retired worker like Grandma Estep.

BriIlonfeS
EXfoIS Hero'S
Aspirations

Consul Hortencio j. Brillantes,
principal speaker during the Rial
Day commemoration, extolled the
martyrs life, and parallels the re-
forms which Rial advocated with
present day broad detectives.
The Filipino Community of Sc
attic observed the 58th year of
DR.. Jose RizaPs death, who died a
martyr for his people, shot at Ba-
gumbayan field at dawn on De-
cember 80, 1896. Indicted for
treason against the Spanish Gov
eminent in the Philippines, Rizal
was held as political prisoner at
Fort Santiago, and later sentenced
to the supreme penalty.
"Jose Rial is the embodiment
of Fiipinism," Consul Brillantes
said, "his death, by this virtue,
has well become more memoir
able than his birth. With him
the hopes for freedom, liberty and
dignity had died blow to a
people whose mind was newly
opened to its meanings"
Consul Brillantes limited that
the universal rights we enjoy with
other peoples of the world today
are manifestations of the fact
that Rial has not died in vain.
Concluding his address, Consul
Brillantes urged the audience to
keep in line with the principles
and preeepts of DR.. Rial.
Other relevant parts of the lit
erary-musical program marking
the occasion include the recitation
of DR.. Rizals My Last Farewell"
by Miss Rosalie Mendoza, Invoca-
ton by Fernando Ferrera, and a
brief address by Frank -Bolima,
who noted the highlights of the
heros life.

NTER- CONSULATE LETTER IS MISSING
Letter From
Abrero Lost
In TronSif

There is something "rotten
in Denmark" And there is
something or somebody stin-
ky in the Philippine Consul
late in Seattle. At least,
things are not as they should
be, under average decent
standard.
On September IA, 1854, Consul
SofrOniO V. Abrera, then Philip
pines consul in Los Angeles, mail
ed an important letter to Con-
sui Hortencio j. Brillantes in Sc
attic. The letter, according to in
formation reaching the FORUM,
also contained two affidavits
from two persons in Southern
California, which were essential
and vital to someone's case in
court now pending under appeal.
Consul Brillantes, as late as
Nov. 6, over one month after the
letter was repeatedly mailed to
him from Los Angeles, told the
FORUM that he never received
that letter from Consul Abrera.
At time of writing January 7,
1850 three and half months af-
ter the letter was mailed the
Consulate in Seattle has not yet
received that letter
Prior to this incident, in July,
1854 to be exact, a message writ
ten under the letterhead of the
Philippine Consulate in Seattle
was sent over the signature of
one Juan 2. Bagasan to Judge H.
G. Sutton of the Superior Court
of Kitsap County. The message
commented favorably on the de-
cision of Judge Sutton in a di-
vorce suit recently tried in his
court. Juan 2. Bagasan, accord
ing to Consul Brillantes, is not a
member of the staff of the Philip
pine Consulate in Seattle.
How this audacious and uncouth
person ever got hold of a sta
tionery of the Philippine Consul
late has not been unraveled up to
the present time.
How these two incidents: The
missing letter and affidavits sent
by Consul Abrera, and the mes
sage to Judge Sutton on Philip
pine Consulate stationery happen
to concern one and the same per-
son is the thing that arrests ones
curiosity.
The message to Judge Sutton
concerns the divorce case of Mar
iano L. Barrinuevo vs.. Mrs. Maria
Luisa Dominguez Barrinuevo. The
missing affidavits sent by Con-
sui Abrera also were important
TO Mrs. Maria Tulsa DOminguez
Barrinuevo in her appeal to the
State Supreme Court, now pend
ing.
The climax of it all came when
Mrs. Maria Tulsa Dominguez Bar
rinuevo, after a heated argument
in the Philippine Consulate offices,
was struck by Conrado de Castro,
an administrative assistant and
finance officer of the Consulate.
"a suit for damages is now filed
against Conrado de Castro by Mrs.
Barrinuevo.)
Where is the missing letter?
How did Juan q. Bagasan, not
member of Philippine Consulate
staff, ever get the idea of writing
to the Judge on Philippine Con-
sulate stationery? Why did Con-
RADIO de Castro strike defenseless
Maria Buisa Dominguez Barrin-
uevo, inflicting physical injury %
her face and finger?
These questions should command
the attention of the principal Of
ficer in the Philippine Consulate
and the serious investigation by
the Department of Foreign At

Nehru, Bulganin Jointly Make
 Policy Agreement

MOSCOW, RLThe premiers ot Russia and India came out jointly Thursday for a ban on nuclear weapons, a LIN. seat for Commu- mist China and the surrender of Formosa to the Chinese Reds.
 The declaration was signed by India's Prime Minister Nehru and Soviet Premier Bulganin, and published yesterday morning at the end of Nehru's l7-day visit to the Soviet Union.
 The statement contained little that the two men or their gov ernmentS had not said before. But it was the first time they had said it together.
 Nehru and Bulganin called also for a simultaneous and substan- tial reduction of conventional armaments' with effective inter national control" They cited the recent Soviet disarmament pro- posals as substantial contribu- ton to peace"
 The document was published less than three hours before Neh- ru boarded plane for Warsaw to spend three days before pushing on to Belgrade, Vienna, Rome and London.
 Nehru was accompanied to the airport by Buganin, Soviet Com munist Party Chief Khruschev, Deputy Premier Georgi Malenkov, Defense Minister Zhukov, and other Soviet leaders.
 Bidding the Indian leader fare well, Bulganin hailed the joint document as "a solid basis for further development between our two countries and as an example to the rest of the world of peace ful coexistence."

English Sewing Circle Making Nightshirts
 For Canadian ESkimos

SITTINGBOURNE, England, R Ladies of the local sewing cir cle are making nightshirts for Eskimos of Canada's far north west-where the nights are six months long.
 Normally, Eskimos don't bother much with nightShirts. Fur is the fashion. But the cloth garments are needed when they go to a hospital, a missionary explained on a trip here recently from Can ada.
 The 12 Sittingbournt sewers set to work immediately. So far their score is 16 flannelette nightshirts and IA pairs of paqamas, in both plain and striped material.
 One problem was size. Said Miss Margaret Sellen, sewing circle leader:
 We understand that Eskimos are rather small so we've used patterns for rather large children. We do hope they'll fit"

 The child could then graduate at 16 and obtain two years of liberal education by age Ia. At the same time, MT. Schutter says, the youngster would be ready to enter compulsory military service. Both the teacher shortage and building shortage would be aleviated, he said.

SCHOOL PRINCIPAL PROPOSES ELIMINATION OF 7th AND 9th GRADES AS OUTMODED
Friday. June 24. 1855

c H IC A c O-An elementary school principal here is advocat- ing the abolition of the 7th and 9th grades.
 Charles H. Schutter, principal of the Delano Elementary School, writes in the May School Execu- tive" that the elementary school program should be condensed into six years.
 '9The present cirriculuIn for the 7th and 9th grades" the principal maintains, ''consists mainly of re- views of the work of the preced- ing grades, or an introduction to subjects which will be taken up in high school.
 ".. Much of the repetition and review work of the upper grades could well be omitted. It might have been necessary to spend eight years on elementary educa- ton in 1880, when the attendance per enrolled student averaged only 81 days 9 year, but it is wasteful nowadays when the stu dent attends for 151 days" CThe eight-year system was started in the US. about 75 years ago.
