School or Job Now?

Get the best education you can.
Study for knowledge and personal
growth. Whatever you learn can
probably be put to some future
vocational use. If you know the
direction in which you head voca-
tionally, your education will have
added meaning and value. The ed
ucation and vocational training you
get now WILDE apermanent part of
your record inclvilianand/ /or mill
tary life.
If you are a young man and you
decide to work until you enter the
Armed Forces, seek a job in line
with your plans.
1t is better to look ahead and to
build solid record in suitable
job. The highest paying job now,
may not be best in the long run. A
summer job as hospital attend
ant, for example, may be desirable
if you plan to enter the medical
field.
Or. you may have a chance as
Trade Mans helper to begin learn

you may be further along if you take
such job, than if you take "blind-

in your pocket at the start. In other
words, make your time count to-
ward your career.

The Education Committee re-
Gently made an inspection tour of
the off-reservation schools attend
ed by Navajo students. The schools
visited we're: Fort Sill, Chilocco,
Anadarko, Haskell, Intermountain,
Richfield, Chemawa, St ewart,
Phoenix and Riverside Indian
Schools. Members of the Education
Committee and Tribal Council
m king the visits included: Mr..
Dillon Platero, Chairman of the Ed
ucation Committee: MIR. Samuel
Billison, Mr.. Allen D. Yazzie, Mr..
John Nelson Dee, MIR. Jim Sears
McCrea and Mr.. Gene Price, who
are me mbers of the Education
Committee: and Mr.. Clifford Beck
and MIR. Jim mie King, who re
members of the Council.
The Committee was satisfied
with the visits and noted that some
of the schools have greatly i'm
proved programs and that more and
more Navajo students are in he
regular program rather than in the
Special Program. The enthusiasm
of the Navajo students to continue
school and graduate from high
school, include Special Program
students, was common. On cir
trip in visiting with administra
tors and students, the Committee
emphasized the importance of Nav
ajo students finishing school and
not dropping out. In the Special
Program, it was noted that there
are any younger students who
could probably 60 into regular
program and graduate from high
school. While at these schools, the
Committee members checked n
tribal programs, such as clothing,
eye glasses and hearing aid pro-
grams and found this to be very
satisfactory. The Committee, be-
fore leaving on their tour, h a d
knowledge that there were many
Navajo students who did not return
to school this year and were inter-
ested in finding out whether or not
these off-reservation schools were
over-crowded. The Committee re-
ports Indicate that all of the schools
were full to capacity and veryfeW,
if any, more students could be ac-
cepted for admi sSion. Individual
complaints were registered by STU
dents and uggestions S to changes
at certain schools we're made which
would benefit the schools opera
tion. The morale of the Navajo STU
dents was generally high and many
schools reported that this was one
of their best group of Navajo STU
dents to attend that partic ular
school. Fort Sill's Superintendent,
Mr.. Talmage Heard, was one who
especially had lot of praise for
the conduct and the contribution of
the Navajo students. This schools
attended by ESQ Navajo students and
approximately 18 of those students
will be graduating from high school
this year. Fort Sill has only the
regular program from junior high
through high school. The Commit

New Record Set
For Pipe String

New Orleans-What is believed
to be the longest string of 10 3I4-
inch casing ever run in a well has
been set by John w. Mecom in
the No. ST. Louisiana Land & Ex-
ploration Co.-State Lease 2345 and
2414 in Lake Washington Field,
Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana.
The operators cemented the
string at 1900 feet in the well
which has an objective of $4,000
feet, also scheduled for a new
world record.
Weight of the pipe was 55.5
pounds per linear foot.
The same operator has drilled
several wells in the 20,000-foot
class but work on the present test
was not started until special pipe
had been made for the job.
Operators cut a 15-inch hole to
1899 feet before running the long
string.
When drilling is resumed, opera
tor will reduce size of the hole
to 10 inches.
Present plans call for 10-inch
hole to at least $4,000 feet. At that
depth string of 8 5I8-inch casing
will run. These plans may be al
tered, however, should conditions

Government Employees Pledge Full
Support To New Administration

Career civil service employees,
through their union, have pledged
"full support" to the new Admin
istration and, in return, received
a ringing endorsement from Pres.
John F. Kennedy.
In a message to the annual Civil
Service banquet of the Govern
ment Employees, Kennedy praised
the AFL-CIO union for the mot
able part" it has played in
strengthening the civil service
merit system and added: 81 look
forward to working with your
members as take on my new re-
sponsibilities."
House Majority Leader John w.
Mccormack (D-Mass.), principal
speaker at the banquet marking the
18th anniversary of the Civil Ser
vice Act, told the AFGE members
that Kennedy's message was the
first sent to any organization by
the new President. The banquet
was held the day after the inaug-
uration.

Locals Lose
lila Charters

The Init. Longshoremen's Asso-
citation has revoked the charters it
had granted to four locals in the
Dominican Republic, AFL-CIO
Pres. George Meany has announced.
Revocation of the charters was
ordered by the AFL-CIO Executive
Council last Aug. 26. At that
time, in a letter to Capt. William
A. Bradley, lila president, Meany
said the AFL-CIO's traditional
opposition to all relationships i.
would be observed and indeed un-
dermined by having any one of
its affiliates grant a charter in a
country where vicious and con-
demned dictatorship makes impos-
sible the existence of a genuine
autonomous labor movement"
Meany said he had received
copies of the revocation notices
from Bradley. The lila notices
call for the return Of the charters
and direct the Dominican groups
to stop using the lila name.

were practically the same number of countries
voting against taking up the subject this last time
as before. Many of the new countries were
neutral.
"When you talk over the subject with them,
you find they're afraid of Communist China.
They're waiting to see how the issue is going.
And how it goes depends on how firm we are"

on terms and the filming of their corporations
whose trademarks are largely household words in
electrical equipment-after all had pleaded guilty
or no defense to charges of conspiring to fix bids
and prices in the biggest antitrust case on record

they were: deacon of church; Chamber of

Not unsympathetically, Judge Caney saw
them torn "between conscience and an approved
corporate policy" wherein the company man,
the conformist "who goes along with his SUI
periOrs /. finds balm for his conscience i'm
additional comforts and the security Of his
place in the corporate Set-up."
While the Justice Dept. prosecutors were unable
to pin specific charges on the topmost officials of
General Electric, Westinghouse and others, Judge
Ganey did not spare them with his words.
In biting pre-sentence statement he said zone
would be most naive indeed to believe that these
violations of the law, long persisted in, affect
ing so large segment of the industry and finally,
involving so many millions upon millions of dol
lars, were facts unknown to those responsible for
the conduct Of the corporation" Accordingly,
he fined the companies heavily. In addition to
this punishment, the industrial customers conspi-

AFL-CIO Dept. or Organization.
The union, which has more than
so local lodges in the Washington
area where some 10 percent of all
federal employees work, will link
its organizing campaign to the
drive by government and postal
employee unions for passage of
union recognition law establishing
standard grievance procedures and
a form of collective bargaining for
the 2 million federal workers.
Mccormack, who told the gath
ering that he was proud to plead
guilty" to having "conspired" with
the AFGE and other unions to
move the last government pay raise
bill through Congress, said he fav-
ored extension of the merit system
to cover promotions within the gov
eminent service as well as initial
appointments.
Hailing the advent of the new
Administration, Mccormack said
he hoped that any Republican OPP
position to Kennedy legislative pro-
posals would always be expressed
in terms of issues "and never in
the form of personal attacks on
the President of the United
States"
The Age presented its annual

ratorily ercharged for electrical equipment may
bring civil suits for treble damages. The Justice
Department has already prepared similar suits on
behalf of the government where bids were elabo-
rately rugged on federal contracts.
BUT THE DAMAGES and the punishment are
not so important as the conditions, the attitudes
of society under which the violations were
committed
Judge Ganey penetrated to the heart of the
matter i'm his statement. "What is really at
stake here" he said, ''is the survival of the kind
OF economy under which America has grown to
greatness, the free enterprise system.
THE conduct of the corporate and individual
defendants alike :. Qhas) f1agrantly Knocked the
image of that economic system of free enterprise
which we profess to the country, and destroyed
the model which we offer today as a free world
alternative to state control and eventual dictator
ship Some extent of the vaStneSs of the schemes
for price fixing, bid rigging and job ALLEGATIONS,
the judge went on, "can be cleaned from the fact
that the annual corporate sales covered by these
bills of Indictment represent billion and three
quarter dollars"
There are positive aspects to this shocking sit
uation. The Eisenhower years may be generally
remembered and/or regretted as the heyday of
the business administration in Washington" But
the fact is that these prosecutions of the electrical
industry were originated and pressed by the JUS
tice Department under a Republican attorney
general, William Rogers, and the judge went out
of his way to commend Rogers antitrust ace,
young Assistant Attorney General Robert Bicks
who Spearheaded the action. And, as Judge Ga
ney also noted, the taxpayers were saved the ex-
pense of possibly endless litigation by the fact
that both corporate and individual defendants
'faced up to the situation realistically and adj
mitted their guilt In the face of these admissions,
there can be no appeal from the sentences.
In very real sense, however, the country
shares the guilt of these and their companies.
This is the era of expediency for material gain and
under the expenSe-account psychology almost any
thing goes Perhaps this signals additional {
need for revision of the tax laws so that incentive
may become more legitimate. But more is in y
volved here than taxable technicatieS.
With grasping greed we have been threaten
ing a way of life. We cannot compete with
communism on these terms because we are con-
verting liberty to license. Let not just the busi-
ness community but labor unions, bureaucrats
and even bridge clubs take deeply to heart the
lesson that Judge Ganey has so sharply pointed
up. -S1s

OIL INDUSTRY ACCEPTS
0CAW 14c PATTERN

Oil Corp. last month, OCAW 10
Gals have won similar agreements
at major plants of Humble, Texa-
co, Gulf, Pure Oil, Cities Service,
Quaker State, Mobil Oil and Shell
Oil companies.
Some plants of these companies
are still offering a substitute plan
of percent raise which, while
it would average about IA cents
an hour, runs counter to the
unconstitutional policy established
by the OCAW's national bargain
ing policy committee.
At a meeting Jan. 3, the policy
committee unanimously voted not
to approve percentage wage in
creases but to insist that every
member in the oil industry must
receive an increase of at least Ia
cents. Any further adjustment of
wages, the committee said, should
be handled on the basis of adjust
ment of inequities.
OCAW spokesman predicted that
by the end of January nearly all
of the unions $4,000 oil work
ers will have secured the raise
and that it will have spread to
nearly 100000 other oil industry
employees, including supervisors,
technicians & unorganized groups
of workers.
All new contracts being signed
permit reopening for wages on 60
days notice a major break
through from the industry's orig,
inal demand that the pay increase
be tied to a two-year contract.
