Seek to Organize
Nonunion Labor
For 30 Million TotoI
BY JAMES Y. NEWTON
Star stan Correspondent

MIAMI BEACH, Feb. 10
AFL-CIO leaders today received
the blueprint of a Nation-w wide
drive to organize non-union
workers designed to double their
Is million membership in the
years Immediately ahead.
Plans for the biggest labor or
ganizing campaign since John L.
Lewis and the CLIO unionized the
steel and automobile industries
we're presented to the AFL-CIO
executive council by John w.
Livingston, organization director.
Unions of the combined labor
movement pledged millions to
the campaign, with the organi-
cations which made up the old
CLIO promising upward Of 81
million.

The drive will penetrate the

trades. Unions in the building
and construction industry jumped
the gun and set up their own Or
ganizing drive aimed at signing
up a million members earlier in
the week.
Mr.. Livingston said the cam

he said. Labor officials were re-
luctant to discuss plans.
1.-THE time to blow the trum-
pets is after the victory" the Or
ganiZation director advised.
There will be no advertised
Southern drive. but the unions
expect to devote q considerable
part of their large organizing
funds in enrolling the large pools

for different age groups--went
home for the first time In No
vember. But teachers didn't put
letter marks on them then, only
compiling them statistically to
see how the new system was
working.
The new forms also use check
marks. which is all parents saw
on the November reports.
A QUESTIONABLE went out with
the cards today. School officials
are hoping parents will I'LL it In
and return it when the cards
are sent back to school next
week.
The missionaries, which will
be tabulated by special Report
Card Committee, asks parents
What do you like about this new
report? What do you dislike
about this new report?. What
about this new report card do
you not understand? What sug-
Igestions do you have to offer?
Teachers Also Queried
A similar QUESTIONABLE is 60
ing to principals and teachers.
Chief criticism of the new
marking system so far has been
that 1t is too negative and not
detailed enough. Some teachers
have also complained that new
city-wide marking standards. set
up in connection with the trail
forms, are too rigid.
Miss Katherine Scrivener, a
|higs-ranking elementary official,
recently charged that the new
card emphasizes mediocrity"
and will discourage children
from doing their best. She said
some children would get AS with
out deserving them, while too
many others would get DIS and
us.
One of the parental criticisms
has been aimed at predictions
that most of the marks given
out will be C's.
No public report has been
made on the trial marks COM
piled in November. but Mrs.
Alice Elan, Report Card Com
mittee chairman, said today the
prediction on C's was borne out.

Case Testifies He Set
500 Limit on Gifts

Donation
BY ]. A. OLEARY

Senator Case, Republican Of
South Dakota, told Senate in
vestigating committee today he
had placed limit of 500 on in
dividual gifts to his 1856 CAM
paign before a Nebraska law
yer offered the much discussed
$4,000 contribution.
The special committee, headed
by Senator George, Democrat Of
Georgia. today began an inquiry
to determine whether the $2,500
campaign offer by John M. Neff.
a Nebraska lawyer, involved any
attempt to influence Senator
Cases vote on the natural gas
bill.
Mr.. Neff. who will testify
later. has said that while he was
interested in passage Of the gas
bill, his contribution was not in
tended to influence Senator
Cases vote but was made only be-
cause he regarded the Senator
as Republican who was helpful
to that part Of the country.
Restates Purpose
AS Senator Case took the wit
ness stand in the crowded mar

Office Building he repeated his
understanding that this is not

Of a bride. because no such al
legation was made"
ut was not a conditional gift
and no one has said there were
any strings attached" Senator
Case continued. "This is an in
quiry to determine whether there
was any improper attempt to
influence my vote"
Senator Case recounted the
steps he took when he learned
of the $4,000 contribution to
make sure 1t was not used or
mingled with other contribu-
tons.
Three Gift Rules
The South Dakota Senator
then told the committee that in
a conversation last fall with
John Griffin, who receives his
contributions in Sioux Falls, they
agreed to follow three rules In
the 1856 campaign: w.
1. That Mr.. Griffin would not
receive any contribution over
500.
2. None that had strings at
tached.
8. No liquor money"
Senator Case said he also told
Mr.. Griffin the total amount
they would need for his CAM
paign would depend on whether
anyone opposed him for the Re-
publican nomination in the June
primary. The Senator said he
estimated that if he had no pri-
mary opposition, between $4,000
and $4,000 would handle the
matter. including what we would
get from the Senatorial Cam
paign Committee" He said that
in 1850 he got $4,000 from the
Senatorial Committee in Wash.

Senator Case said a friend,
Martin Kothe, manager of a
Custer bank, had been asked to
serve last December as a treas
urer" for the Case campaign.

Bill Would Gust
3 Of 5. Members of
Arlington Group
By ALEX r. PRESTON
Star Stan Correspondent

RICHMOND, Feb. 10.-A bill
to repeal the law which permits
Federal employees to serve on
school boards was introduced in
the General Assembly today.
It also would abolish the right
Of United States Government
workers to hold any other Office
in a Virginia county or city.
Immediate effect of the legis-
lation would be to remove three
Of the five members of the
Arlington School Board, three
Of the seven members of the
Fairfax board, five of the seven
members Of the Falls Church
School Board and one on the
Alexandria School Board.
Federal employees on the Arl-
ington school board are Barnard
JOY, a member since the first
elected board took Office in 1913;
Erwin r. Draheim, now serving
his second four-year term, and
James G. Stockard, who was
elected last November.
Federal Jobs Listed
Mr.. Joy is a co-ordinator in
the Agricultural Research Ad-
ministration of the Department
of Agriculture. Mr.. Draheim is

ment Of Agriculture. Mr.. Stockard
Is chief of the training branch

Office of Management of General
Services Administration.
The three Fairfax County
school board members who are
Federal employees were just ap-
pointed February / by the new
Board of County Supervisors.
The three Federal employees on
the Fairfax board are Hills
Lory, who is with the State De-
partment; Clyde Gleason of the
Veterans Administration and
M. S. Parsons. with the Agricul-
ture Department.
Mr.. Lory served on the Fair
fax School Board previously in
1851 when a suit was filed in
Arlington challenging the right
Of Federal employees to serve on
school boards. He resigned be-
fore the suit was settled, rather
than jeopardize the sale of a
pending school construction
bond issue. Later courts held
that under present Virginia laws
Federal employees could serve on
school boards.

The five Falls Church School
Board members who are Federal
employees are Richard L. Saints

board Is Edward Reed. a District

The measure was filed with
out fanfare by Delegate John
Boatwright of Buckingham lust
one day after a public hearing
