Curtis Accuses
Union Leaders
of Power Abuse
~ the Associated Press

Senator Curtis, Republican of
Nebraska. said today the Senate

too much power in the hands

Union officials. he said, seem
never to fail for reelection. /"
Senator Curtis is a member Of
the select Senate committee in
vestigating alleged racketeering
and other malpractice in the
labor-management field.
The committee plans further
hearings Thursday and Friday
to question Bakers Union Presi-

prostitute was allowed union ex-

owned automobile, and union
funds recorded as for "organiza-
ton" expenses. The woman, Mrs.
Kay Lower, invoked the Fifth
Amendment when the commit

Use Kingly Power
Senator Erwin, Democrat of
North Carolina, another COM
mittee member, mentioned this
case in contending that some
union officials "seem to exercise
kingly power to use union funds
in rather enormous amounts for
their own pleasure.
Senator Erwin said rank-and-
file union members fought to
stand up for their own rights"
and check more closely on how
their dues are being spent.
He and Senator Curtis said it
seemed odd that apparently large
sums could disappear from union
treasures without even being
missed. They suggested that
members do little more analyt-
ical thinking about their dues
and the size of union treasures.

A. T. Jones, who is seeking
to unseat Joseph A. Beirne as
president of the Communications
Workers of America yesterday
charged his opponent with false

Mr.. Jones asked the AFL-CIO
Ethical Practices Committee to
Investigate Immediately what he
called this malicious and SLAM

Mr.. Beirne denied that he had
made the accusation against Mr..
Jones and in turn charged the
latter with gutter politics. He
said Mr.. Jones was adopting tao

How

Works

Return air from the
home is drawn into the
unit by the furnace
blower. AS this air is
drawn into the cleo
tronic field of the de-
vice, dirt particles are
attracted to the surface
of the filter cells the way
bits of iron are drawn
to a magnet and held
there. These filter cells
are made up OF a fine
glass filament, COM
pressed into a thick,
porous sheet upon which
a printed circuit" is APP
piled. Note that the air
is filtered before it en-
tiers the furnace or air
conditioner. This is
most important in that,
by trapping and holding
dirt before it reaches the
other mechaniSmS, the
efficiency of the furnace
or air-conditioner is in
creased. Thus, still fur

by this new device. In
the housewives language,
this means an end to
practically all of the
CRIME that clings to dra-

stery and rugs, accumu-
lates in grisly rolls under
furniture, and, in general,
makes housekeeping an
