CHARLES TOWN, w. Va,
May 24.-It simply wasn't Lin
wood Weakley's day at Charles
Town yesterday. And it won't
be again today, because the
rider from Wheaton, Md, will
be hmping on a bad knee, If
he's out Of the hospital.
Weakley was supposed to ride
General Darke in today's fea-
ture, THE General Nathaniel
P. Banks" It's a 611-furlong
dash for $1.4O0 and it drew a
capacity field of 10 starters.
They do things in a big way
at this little track but Weak
ley didn't expect to figure in
the proceedings as much as he
did.
. $12,S43 Twin Double
One unidentified customer
made off with all the loot
$12.483.60- in the twin double.
Two horses broke down and
another went lame. There was
a consolation payoff in the
twin double Of $41.20 for %
ticket holders when Arbor Day
was scratched in the sixth race.
Weakley got into the act un-
expectedly after booting Crown
Prince F. home at a $T.20 mu-
tuel in the third race. AS he
dismounted the g. year old
gelding kicked him on the
right knee. Why? Crown
Prince F. wasn't talking. But
nobody in the pressbox could
fault the ride Linwood gave
him.
Jockey Mason Gordon re-
placed Weakley on Juber Jet in
the fourth race and had to
walk home. SO did Carl Gam
bardella. who had the mount
on Is Rosey. Both broke down
some sort of a record even
for Charles Town. In the ninth
and last race Jimmy Kirk took
Weakley's assignme ent on
Speedy Pat. He came back to
the unsaddling area riding
Tandem with an outrider.
Speedy Pat went lame.

1t simply wasn't Weakley's
day, anyway you looked at it.
The crowd of 3.742, largest
Of the three-day-old meeting,
wagered $234.70o, which didn't
set any record.
Tetraparticle ($7.20) and

double worth $s3.

Federal Workers Win Union Riuhfs

No recognition for unions en-
gagged in corrupt practices or discrimi-
nation against members because of
race, creed or color or advocacy OF
overthrow of the government by
force.
Acceptance of the principle of
the check-off but only if it has Con-
gressional approval and if the union
bears the clerical costs involved.
The task force recommended three
types of recognition: informal for
any organization speaking for federal
workers; formal for any organiza-
ton representing 10 per cent of the
employees of a unit or agency and
exclusive" for union representing
majority of such employees.
Commenting on the report and the
Presidents approval of it, President
William G.. Doherty of the Letter
Carriers said:
This is a magma carta for all
government workers. 1t is typical
of the forward-looking, progressive
and humane policies of President
Kennedy in approaching the prob
lens of government workers. 1t
makes a significant and wholesome
break with the medieval practices
of the past"

USDL Announces
Most Unions Can File
Less Complicated
Financial Records

| A vast majority of the approx
mately 2,70O labor organizations il
the Northwest which must file finan
cial reports to the U. S. Department
| of Labor may now use simplifiec
one-page form, William G. Pfeiffer
area director for the Department.
Bureau of Labor-M Management Re-
ports has announced.
Annual financial reports are re-
quired by Acknowledgements Re-
porting and Disclosure Act of 1869.
1t is expected that about 80 per cent
of over $4,000 reporting labor organ
izations in the country will be able
to use the newly revised form (desig-
mated IM-3).
The new form may be used by labor
organizations whose total receipts, re-
CARELESS of source and without any
exceptions, were less than $4,000
in the 12-month period covered by
the report and were not under trustee
ship at the end of their fiscal year.
Formerly, unions could use short
form report only if their receipts
were under $4,000.
The revised form, one-page snap
out with extra copies and carbons in
cluded, replaces previous two-page
financial reporting form.
Mr.. Pfeiffer, whose area covers
Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and
Washington, said that to help union
officials fill out the new form his of
flee and the BLMR office in San
Francisco will hold numerous finan-
clinics during the next
three months. In addition, Mr.. Pfeif-
fer said there are people available
to assist union officers at his area

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(PAI)-
Organized government workers, after
a long and persistent struggle, have
finally won official recognition by
the federal government.
In approving a task force report
submitted to him, President Kennedy
has laid down broad policies of recog-
milton of bona fide labor organizations
in all government agencies in a policy
statement that was called a 'magna
carta" for all government workers
by leaders of government employee
labor unions.
The lines of the new government
wide policy affecting about 100000
already organized government
workers. are as follows:
Complete approval of union ac-
tivity among the 100000 federal
employees.
The right of consultation and
collective negotiations on such mat
tiers as working conditions, super
visory- employee relationship, work
shifts, tours of duty, grievance pro-
cedures, career development and,
where permitted by law, the carrying
out of policies relative to rates Of
pay and job classification.
Working out of better methods
for worker to appeal an unfavorable
decision by the Civil Service Com
mission.
Recognition of the no-strike prin-
ciple in government employment.
Recognition of the right of work
ers not to join labor organization.
Recognition that where salaries |
and other conditions are set by Con-
gress these matters are not subject |
to collective bargaining.
All agreements must be consist
emit with merit system principles and
rules laid down by the Civil Service
Commission.

TITUS Ben Franklin Stays In
indianapolis, Indiana

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.-(PAD-
The International Typographical I'm
ion, moving it's headquarters to Colo
RADIO Springs after 72 years in India
napolis, is leaving with an act of good
will.
In the center of the front lawn of
Typographical Terrace here stands
the majestic statue of Benjamin
Franklin, the patron saint of Ameri-
can printerdom. The statue, which
formerly stood in niche in a down.
town Indianapolis building, was ac-
quired by ITU Local 1, Indianapolis,
in 1929 and presented to the Inter
national.
When the dean of Franklin College
in nearby Franklin, Ind, learned that
the ITU was moving he wrote ITU
President Elmer Brown and observed
that although his college was named
after Benjamin Franklin, it had no
statue of the great American.
The ITU as a community service
has decided to donate the statue to
Franklin College.

LEGISLATIVE ROUTE
IN MONTANA

In Montana the Chamber of Com
merce aims to secure enactment of
fright to work. legislation via the
legislative route, according to a state
ment some time ago by the U. S.
Chamber of Commerce.
Twice before, initiatives, spon-
sored in the main by the C.ofC. and
the Farm Bureau, have failed to make
the grade in the Treasure State. This
experience behind them, plus the more
successful effort to elect legislators
in 1860, has centered their strategy
on securing compulsory open shop
legislation by statutory enactment.
1t is a foregone conclusion that
should the C.ofC. and it's Farm Bu-
reau-" cowboy" allies succeed in re-
tanning control of the House and
elect enough reactionary Democrats
and Republicans to the Senate this
year, fright to work" legislation will
be introduced early in the 1868 ses-

Subsidies in one form or another
are accepted as a normal part of oul
economy, says Cong. Fred Marshal
of Minnesota in lid-lifting report or
the subject, recently made public.
Citing two kinds of subsidies, Mar.
shall refers to ''the kind you see" and
the ''kind you don't see''. Subsidies
for the farmer are readily seen be-
cause they come up every year for
review in appropriation bills. Some,
not called subsidies at all, include
direct government grants, payments,
loans, forgiveness of certain taxes
and supplying of commodities, mate
rails or services at less than cost.
HIGHLIGHTS OF REPORT
Subsidies helped to settle the orig
inal colonies; helped establish business
enterprises which have grown into
giant industries; helped develop Navy
and merchant fleets; pioneer the skies
and support the westward march of
settlement.
Patent laws are subsidies, in indi-
rect form, for instance. They protect
inventors rights.
The greatest and most enduring
subsidy ever enacted was the tariff
system. 1t operates unseen, not be-
ing a direct money grant.
The first substantial land grants
were to water carriers. Between 1927
and 1886 the government granted
$4,000 acres of public lands to
private interests to aid in canal build
ing and river improvements in addi-
ton to right grants. Railroads
never would have made it across the
country without huge subsidies.
Estimates say public aid for con-
struction given railroads is $1,282 |
millions. Since 1882 favorable term
loans to railroads were made by the
RFC and FEA.
INCOME TAX AID

pletion allowance been granted
for many years to developers and OPP
orators of oil and gas properties and
certain mines.

1862, which made western public
domain available for settlement.
The same year states received free
land for establishment of colleges
of agriculture and mechanical arts.
Before 1920 the main purpose Of
public aid to agriculture was to teach
how to produce more. In the 1920's
came need for greater knowledge OF
how to get along with abundance,
once produced. In 1929 the Federal
Farm Board was set up with a revolv-
ing fund of $500 million to maintain
farm prices and disposing of sur
pluses.
COMPARISON is SHOWN
Price support losses from 1888 to
date have cost the taxpayers less than
mail subsidies postal deficits from
1916 to 1856. The price support pro-
gram has cost only about 10 per cent
of the cost of business reconversion
payments in the last 20 years.
AS result of the large defense
program so corporations received $50
billion in contracts during the last five
or six years. Stocks in these companies
have risen from $57 to $149 per share
during this period.
From congressional testimony it is
shown that among subsidies one never
sees are:
Fourteen national magazine re-
ceive a postal subsidy estimated at
$38, 900 per year. LIFE leads the
list with an annual subsidy of So
$4,000. M
Oil, gas and other mineral ex-
traction corporations received $14,-
817 million of tax-free depletion on
their income tax returns in the 10
years from 1914 to 1858.
Rapid tax write-offs, a wartime
subsidy to industry, have amounted |
% $23 billion since 1950-and 81 bill
ion of it was granted after the end
# the Korean War in 1868.

for agriculture to maintain
proper balance or provide for ade-
Iuate prices for the farmer at the

| WASHINGTON, d. C.-OABOR)
Developments have popped during
recent weeks in the fight over state
Fright to work" laws which prohibit
union shop agreements. Among them
were these:
Unionists in Michigan were
alerted to an attempt to put over the
union-shop ban through "back door,
approach.
Oklahomans were told that the
radical right-wing John Birch Society
had swung into the effort to put over
fright to work. in that state.
The Internal Revenue Service
ruled in an Indiana case that it will
not allow businesses to take tax de-
auctions for contributions to fright

The ruling, uncovered by the
Machinist, came when IRIS refused
to allow a $3.50 contribution to the
Indiana Right to Work Committee
made by Coca Cola Bottling Co.,
Inc, of indianapolis. IRIS discov-
animation of the firms records.

opment:
'"There have been several attempts

such move in a state constitutional

Jenkins Lloyd Jones of the TULSA
One labor leader commented:
There was no agitation for this anti

The study demonstrates anothe
important facet of the problem, name
ly, the lower the income of the elderly
the more likely they are to be af
flicted with chronic disease, and the
less likely they are to have medica
insurance.
AS for the adequacy of the existing
systems, it is worth noting that as o1
late 1861 only II states, plus Puerto
Rico and the Virgin Islands, had taken
advantage of the limited Medical AS.
sistance for the Aged program adopt
ed by the Congress in 1860. (Mon-
tana was NOT one of the 17.-PV
EDITOR.)
This report pin-points the naked
vulnerability of elderly people to
the financial impact of illness, be-
cause they are in fact living on
inadequate incomes. Few of them
have a substantial backlog of saw
ings.
Also it shows that 20 per cent of
all families headed by persons 65 or
over have no liquid savings at all, II
per cent had from 500 to $500 and
81 per cent had from $500 to $4,000,
while 33 per cent had $4,000 or more.
Additionally, some so per cent of
families headed by persons IS or over
had an annual income of less than
$3.50, while 25 per cent of the total
received less than $1,62O a year.
