Tax Building
Picketed Here

A picket line was set up in
front of the Internal Revenue
Service Building here today in
a dispute between an ALL
CLIO local and a firm cleaning
the building.
The pickets are members Of
Local 80 of the Building Serv-
ice Employees International
Union, which is seeking union
recognition from Atlas Clean
ing Service, Inc, of Chicago.
This is believed to be the first
time a union involved in a
labor dispute has picketed q
Federal building here.
Atlas is cleaning the build
ing, at Tenth street and Con-
stitution avenue NV, as low
bidder on a contract with
General Services Administra-
ton, the Governments 'house-
keeper"
Other Buildings Picketed
The union for two weeks has
been picketing the Longfellow
and McShain Buildings here,
where Atlas is working under
other Government contracts.
The buildings house Offices of
the Federal Housing Admins
tration and the State Depart
ment, respectively.
Federal law does not forbid
picketing of Government build
ings. 1t does ont allow Gov
eminent workers to strike,
however.
Mrs. Airline Neal, secretary
treasurer of the local, said the
Atlas contract went into effect
today. She said the union has
been unable to obtain an en-
ployment contract with tina
cleaning firm.
GSA Did Cleaning
Until about two years ago,
Government cleaning was done
by GSA, and service employees
were hired through the Civil
Service Commission.
MIS-. Neal said that private
contractors who have done the
cleaning job here since then
have hired union workers, but
that Atlas failed to do this.
Wages, she said, have dropped
from a range Of SIPS to $1.65
an hour for service workers
under GSA to the minimum
wage of 81 an hour for Atlas
workers.
The union is claiming a
lockout" at the Longfellow
and McShain Buildings be-
cause the Atlas firm refused to
hire union workers who APP
peared to work on those two
jobs. Az
A GSA spokesman said the
dispute is between the con-
tractor and the union, and the
agency has not stepped in.
Union picket lines have been
set up in front of other Gov
ernment-owned buildings pre-
viously in other parts of the
country, according to a Labor
Department spokesman.

Unfortunately. this amount
is lacking in THE Black Or
child" which opened yesterday
at the Playhouse Theater. Con-
fronted by one Of those tales
of loneliness in a big city's
Italian neighborhood, Mr.. RIFT
produces what amounts to a
soap opera which. oddly
enough, stars Sophia Loren and
Anthony Quinn.
Joseph Stefano, whose writ
ing style is best described by
the word ripe" is author Of
this screenplay for Paramount.
His principal characters are
Quinn's widowed, still-vigorous
Italian attracted to Miss Loren
under whose widows wee d S
beats a heart haunted by the
notion that she drove her hus-
band to a gangster's death.
Comclicating Quinn's under
standable impulse to comfort
Miss Loren is the fact that
each is parent to a problem
child.
OF these latter, Miss Loren's
is a sub-teen boy who feels
lonely and rejected, the latter
by a society with which his
father was at odds. Quinn's
parental dilemma is worse. that
of being father to a pretty
daughter whose complex about
her dad plays havoc with her
engagement to a handsome
young man.
There is not the slightest
doubt that pros as competent
as Mr.. Ritz, Quinn and Miss
Loren are trying to make some
thing better of their material
than its intrinsic worth. This
certainly is true Of Quinn, than
whom no one is more at ease
in the role of the strong mar
with a soft and sunny heart
Miss Loren's character is more
complex and obscure, that Of
a woman burdened with guilt
and grief but rather too beau
tiful to be bothered by either
The really ungrafeful role
however, is that of Ina Ballrr
as Quinn's, lovely, mixed-ur
daughter with a determination
to make a mess of his marriage
and her own.
