installation will begin shortly,

The self-supporting tower,

at one time the highest in that
state with the exception Of one
other, which was Of equal
height.
After the tower was pur-
chased, a crew was paid to dis

heavy rains in Alabama at
that time there was a long de-
lay. 1t required nine trips to
carry all the parts to the

OcENlCe OOuAlIllSoloAi.
Mr.. Flanagan has been serv-
ing an interim appointment
since last January when Presi-
dent Eisenhower sent his nomi-
nation to the Senate.
It's been a rough seven
months for Mr.. Flanagan, who
rs little as six years ago was a
member Of the Capitol Hill
police force.
No sooner had his nomina-
ton been sent to the Senate
than Democratic Senators cen
tered their fire on the fact that
Mr.. Flanagan had repeatedly
handled political job patronage
matters for the Veterans Ad-
ministration and later for the
General Services Administra-
ton for the Eisenhower admin
istration. IA
But even more sensational
charges were yet to come.
In a preliminary closed-door
hearing with members Of the
Senate Civil Service Commit
tee, Mr.. Flanagan admitted
that he had made misstate-
ments on his Government ap-
plication Form 81 in applying
for previous Federal employ
ment.
\ X 4 n
DISCREPANCIES-Mr. Flan-
agan has acknowledged that
1851 Government job applica-
ton claimed a bachelors de-
gree at Norwich University in
Vermont, when in fact he had
received no degree. He also has
acknowledged that in his 1854
and 1856 Government job ap-

jobs was ever made by him,
he adds.
POLITICS NVOLVED-As
the hearings get under way,
there is a strong contest of
strength going on between
Senate Democrats and Repub-
'licans over the nominations.
Some Democrats on the Sem
ate committee say that Mr..
Flanagan's appointment was a
poor one in the first place, and
that the recent revelations
about his Government applica-
ton forms make him absolutely
unfit for the job. His con-
firmation would be a severe
blow to the integrity and
strength of the merit system,
they contend.
They further point out that
any Government worker caught
giving erroneous information on
his job application forms is
subject to dismissal from his
job. Mr.. Flanagan would be in
the untenable position of hav-
ing to help decide the case Of
these employees. should they de-
eide to appeal to the csc, these
Senators say.
On the other hand. Mr..
Flanagan. who has very strong
personal contacts in the Sem
ate with Republican Senators
and their administrative as
sistai1ts dating back to the days
when he worked on Capitol Hill,
has some strong defenders
among the @. C.P.
The Republicans coiatend
that Mr.. Flanagan is a victim
Of politics.
They declare that he has
been frank and fortnight over
the errors on his form SIS and
has told the truth about the
matter. They also contend that
the charges about his having
been a political patronage dis
penser has been greatly dis
torted.

WELCOMES HEARINGS
Mr.. Flanagan says he vel
comes the public hearing and
that he is anxious to give his
side Of the story to the Senate
and the public. When all the
facts are in, he is convinced
that he will be cleared of any
suspicion of intent to deceive
the Government.
Mr.. Flanagan says there was
no reason for him to try to
deceive the Government, since
the jobs involved did not re-
quire college degrees.
Some months later when
some Of the facts came to his
attention he moved to set the
record straight.
Mr.. Flanagan contends that
the misstatements were honest
errors made in the rush to fill
out papers for jobs that already
had been offered him and in
the confusion over credits
earned in several colleges.
AS for his reported activities
as a dispenser Of political pat
ronage, MIR. Flanagan said his
job was merely one of liaison
man with members Of Congress
regarding job requests. No final

Engineer Union
Reforms Asked
By the Associated Press


A West Coast candidate for
president of the international
Union of Operating Engineers
has called for a rewriting OF
the unions constitution. He
said he wants ito remove the
dictatorial power of the inter-
national president" and re.

Jack Mcdonald of Seattle
sixth vice president of the in
ternational, said he will ask
the unions executive board
when it meets at Miami Beach
Friday to call a special con-
vention for this purpose, as well
as to name a successor to Will
liam E. Maloney, who resigned
under fire last week as union
president.
Mr.. Mcdonald told reporters
he also will ask the executive
board to lift trusteeships in eff
feet over IL union locals, in
GLIDING two in Chicago whose
supervision by the international
dates back to 1929.
Although the unions con-
stitution now provides that the
board appoint a successor to
Maloney within Is days. Mr..
Mcdonald said Maloney's mere
replacement will serve no
useful purpose.

petuate the present dictator

characteristic of our union"
