ruption revelations have blackened
not only the Beok-Hofia type Of
union leadership but they have ere
ated distlust and contempt for
union leaders generally with the
exception of Mr.. John L. Lewis,
who has kept his union in a state
of complete independence. The net
of all this has been to create among
Americans genornllv a feeling that
many of the leaders of the Ameri-
can labor movement have been
shown up as crooked and many
more who are crooked have not
yet been caught. Also, it has in
creased the prospect Of more right
to work" laws. All this, to be sure,
has increased the feeling among
the people as a whole that there
are few labor leaders who can be
trusted, that the unions largely are
run by men chiefly concerned with
feathering their nests and that it
is dangerous to put political power
in their hands.

In brief, they could have main
tanned their rule of terror over con-
eressmen, candidates and politici-
ans generally in both parties had
it not been for the Mcclellan com
mittec's revelation of shocking and
shameless laboy-leader craft, brib-
cry and corruption. The exent and
character of this corruption has
been so extraordinary that it has
touched the whole labor movement
in the United States. True, most
Of these revelations have concerned
the Messrs. Beck and Hoffa and
their aides in the international

fact is that the Meanv-Reuther re-

Those who think This idea of a
labor party was not a serious one
have forgotten the facts. 1t not
only was exceedingly serious but it
was openly discussed nearly eight
wears ago. This was practically pro-
claimed by several well-known
journalists, acknowledged New
Dealers and with close relations to
Che controlling influences in labor
circles. This. it will be recalled, was
in 1850 when the late Senator Rob.
A. Taft. author of the TafJ-Hartloy
Act, was candidate for re-elec-
ton. The leaders of o"%anized labor
joined forces. They let it be known

ating committee for the course
and as POSTMASTER for the BAN

Slacum and the children spent
the summer with her parents, Mr..

Va, and enjoyed several trips to
such points of interest as James
town, Williamsburg, Luray, the
battlefieldS around FrederickS-

Congratulations are certainly
in order for Mrs. George Kelly
of Kun larry farm near Damas.
Gus. Mrs. Kelly entered twenty
eight articles of clothing, chill
dren's and adults, in the Mont
gomery county fair last week and
walked off with a total of eigh-
teen ribbons seven of them blue
firsts. Mrs. Kelly told us she had
taken short sewing course in
high school and had been very
much interested ever since. Being
taller than average, she added,
gave her added incentive to sew.
Six healthy youngsters give Mrs
Kelly still further incentive to
sew these days. AS the winner of
so many ribbons Mrs. Kelly was
awarded the Pfaff portable cleo
trio sewing machine for the top
seamstress in the fair. Damascus
the Home Community seems to
be place where good sewing is
to be found. Last years top win
ner was also from Damascus in
the person of Mrs. Julia Mayer.
Mrs. Kelly told us that this was
the first time she had ever en-.
tered her work in any contest.
On Sunday she took some thirty
items over for entry in the State
Fair at Timonium.

Alters Speak Up
For themselves

Many All Club members in the
state are being encouraged in two
activities designed to inspire con
fidence and poise. This individual
training is made possible through
particiation in the national Al
Public Speaking and Community
Relations program arranged by
the National Committee on Boys
and Girls Club Work and conduct
ed by the State Extension Service
The public speaking program
was launched six years ago and
has been steadily gaining in i'm
portance ever since County extern
sion agents and local All leaders
not only work with the teen-agers
on presenting an effective talk,
but also teach them to prepare
their own speeches.
Incentive awards are offered
for outstanding performance. To
the top boy and girl in each coun-
ty, goes a distinguished gold-filled
medal. The 1857 state award for
the boy is 19-jewel wrist watch,
and for the girl a beautiful set OF
silverware. On the national level,
two college scholarships worth
$500 will be presented to the high
est ranking boy and girl during
the national All Club Congress
in Chicago next December.

LEESBURG, Va.-The two
young bush-league newspaper
editors. whose weekly sheets
are published in Loudoun
County eight miles apart and
who walked away with six
first awards at the Virginia
Press Associations banquet at
the Jefferson Hotel in Rich
mond last night. gave one
another race that was al
most a photo finish.
Between them, Robert T.
Cochran, jr.. editor of the
Loudoun Times-Mirror. which
reports and reflects. in a some
what cryptic way, life in and
around Leesburg, and John
Eisenhard, editor of Purcell
ville's Blue Ridge Herald
which has an even dryer man
ner of reporting the quixotic
doing in Loudoun, won all of
the blue ribbons-except in
sports writing-awarded to
Virginia weeklies, and John
was rurner-up in that depart
ment.
A Newspaper Plum
To top of these yearly
awards, open to all 125 Vir-
ginia weeklies. Bob Cochran
was runner-up for the Robert
E. Lee Memorial Award for
editorial writing. open to
dailies and weeklies. The Lee
award was established in 1888
by the Lee Memorial Jour-
nalism Foundation of WASH
ington and Lee University,
headed by Prof. o. w. Riegel,
jr. but was discontinued in
1941 when Prof. Riegel went
into the service.
This is the first year since
194l that it has been presented
and, in the newspaper world,
is a plum worth pulling.
Bob Cochran. still young
enough to stick his editorial
chin out but old enough to be
temperate, took first in weekly
news story writing, first in
weekly feature writing, first in
column writing and, with
Howard Allen, Middleburg
photographer. an honorable
mention for their picture
story on the opening of the
new Fauquier-Loudoun Health
Center in Middleburg. To
quote Robert. who commutes
to Leesburg from his 60-acre Z
landmark farm on the far
side of Middleburg, Except
for being born and married.
