I thought enough of my card to
go to the secretary's office in my
local, as directed by the ITU Ex-
ecutive Council, and get a Clear-
ance Card to protect my member-
ship for the duration of my mili-
tary service stretch. There are
those who didn’t elect to go that
route, only to find out when they
returned to their locals they were
no longer members. We know some
of them—they’re in our midst.

Gets "Guided Tour of Agency
Politics is the only profession
wherein so-called decent men step
all over the faces of their fellow
men, curse them for disagreeing
with their tactics and maneuver-
ings.
Many men have survived such
skullduggery by ruthless individ-
uals—as well as many other pit-
falls of life, and I am no exception.
As a small boy I drowned, yes—
drowned, and was revived by arti-
ficial respiration, was run over by
an auto; shot at and missed; shot
। at and hit; nearly struck by a
train; fell out of a 40-foot tree;
spent 4 hours in the Gulf of Mex-
ico in a 16-foot boat in a 45-mile-
per hour wind, and Im stil here
to tell about it all.
No amount of cursing or ridicule
presidents Walter J. Turner, Los
Angeles; Patrick O’Sullivan, New
York; James F. Doyle, Chicago;
and J. Frazier Moore and Clar-
ence C. Schroeder, both of Detroit.
Robert H. Brown, Toronto, was
elected Canadian vice president,
succeeding F. W. Maxted of Bur-
lington, Ontario, who is retiring
Sept 12 after serving 29 years.
The officers will be formally in-
talled at the union’s quadrennial
convention in Washington, D.C., in
late September.

that can best meet their needs,
and it interprets programs of the
health and welfare agencies in
Dallas County.
At each agency services and
operations were pointed out and
explained by the respective execu-
tive director. Lunch was served at
ths Red Cross headquarters.
Mr. Owens said he was nappy to
make the tour because it gave him
an opportunity to see exactly
where contributions to the United
Fund went and how they were
used.
"There s no substitute for actual
exposure to a situation,’” he said.
"You can read all you want about
these agencies and the fine work
they do, but seeing is believing.
The tour has been a real eye-open-

The union negotiating committee
has met to prepare this year’s
letter to the company. Although
the final draft of the letter is not
completed I can give you some
information about it
We will again request 3 weeks
vacation at 10 years and 4 weeks
vacation at 20 years, pay-roll de-
ductions of savings and loans
through the credit union, vested
interest in our retirement program,
better short term coverage on our
hospitalization insurance along
with other benefits and better
working conditions. The pathetic
part of the above mentioned re-
quests is the fact they have been
a part of most I.B.E.W. utility
contracts for years. This year as
last year we will be forced to ne-
gotiate for benefits that should
have been ours for many years.
I know many of you feel your
The United Fund is a once-a-
year appeal to raise money to meet
the annual operating deficits of
its health, welfare and character-
building agencies. During last
fall’s drive here over >4,685,729
was raised for the support of its
64 agencies in Dallas County. The
United Fund maintains an open-
door policy toward other agencies
that wish to join and that meet its
common-sense standards.
Four agencies became part of
the Dallas United Fund during
1963—the Girls’ Foundation, the
Texas Medical Research Founda-
tion, the local USO and the In-
formation and Referral Service.
This last agency was activated to
provide a central source of inform-
ation of services available through
all health and welfare agencies in
Dallas County. It directs persons,
my most sacred honor.”

now we are more sold than ever.”
I There’s nothing else quite like
the United Fun d,” Mr. Guise
I stated in his introductory remarks
to the group at UF headquarters,
420 S. Akard Street.
"In no other way do so many
people join together each year to
build a stronger community. Dif-
ferences which so often set us
apart are forgotten as we unite
for a common cause," he said.
The United way of giving has
proved itself not only in Dallas
County but in some 2,500 other
communities in the United States
and Canada, Mr. Guise pointed out.
“Giving has gone up and up to
over half a billion dollars,” he said.
"And the trend is still upward as
major cities and tiny villages alike
recognize the need for continuing
progress in the proven best way
of meeting community needs in
their own way with community
money.”

363 in the union’s quadrennial
election by the 750 local unions.
Deandrade is from Boston and
originally was elected head of the
union in May 1959.
The result was announced today
following a tabulation of ballots
by the union’s board of electors.
All other officers were re-elected
without opposition.
V CHECK YOUR
Members of the AFL-CIO Com-
munity Service Committee had an
opportunity to get an on-the-spot
look at representative Dallas
County United Fund agencies when
they took a Come-and-See tour
last week.
Committee members included
Billy Owens, committee chairman
and president of United Auto
Workers Local 848; Carolyn Ar-
• nold, executive board member of
Office Employes International Un-
ion; Eddie Robinson, financial sec-
retary of U.A.W. 848, and Gene

national Brotherhood of Electrical ■
particular job deserves an up-!
grade or a reclassification but you
need to remember all of our sal-
aries are far below those paid in
the electrical utility industry. To
choose one or a few jobs for up-
grade would in the final analysis
penalize the other job classifica-
tions. All of our wages are below
the national average and all of
them must be upgraded.
The negotiating committee this
year will consist of Truman E.
Liles, Sam Poag, Joe P. Minter,
J. C. Giles, j. B. McGilbra, James
Sterrett, Wayne Davis, Leo Den-
nis, George Brewer, Pedro Salazar,
and Gene G. Freeland. We wil do
a good job if we have your full
support at all times.
