S.S. Registrants To
Get Prompt Tests
DALLAS—After the first of
July, all 18-year old men who reg-
ister for Selective Service and who
are not enrolled in school may ex-
pect to be called promptly for
the Armed Forces Qualifications
Tests.
None will be drafted any sooner
than in the past. The idea is to
find out who is NOT qualified—
either (1) for military service,
or (2) for responsible life as a pro-
ductive citizen.
Persons who are rejected for
the draft will be referred to their
local employment service — for
counseling, testing, training, and
placement in jobs, in that order,
as needed.
Secretary of Labor W. Willard
Wirtz has called the plan “one of
the most important social experi-
ments of the postwar period.”
In Texas, about half of the
young men called up for Selective
Service are rejected because of
physical or educational inadequa-
cies. About one in five called up
cannot meet the education stand-
ards of the Armed Forces. At the
most, these are equivalent to a
seventh or eighth grade educa-
tion.
Although such youths may be
rejected for military service, the
Labor Department insists they
must have further education and/
or training to keep them from
serving in the “Army of the Un-
employed"—for longer than the
military’s customary two - year
hitch!

Washington.—The problems of
protecting workers from becoming
victims of today’s complex indus-
trial machines and processes oc-
cupied the attention of 3,500 labor,
management and government safe-
ty experts in Washington this
week.
In a one-day AFL-CIO Confer-
ence on Safety for union represen-
tatives and in the President's Con-
ference on Occupational Safety
which followed there was general
agreement on a need for broad re-
examination of current safety
practices, particularly in view of
the growing use of new materials,
machines and methods.
Speaking before the AFL-CIO
conference. Hunter P. Wharton,
president of the Operating Engi-
neers, said America's unions are
stepping up job safety efforts to
turn back a rising tide of work-
connected deaths and injuries.
Finding the best approach is the
first hurdle, he said.
Wharton, who was a conference
leader in the AFL-CIO meeting
and vice chairman of the Presi-
dent’s Conference, said the prob-
lems of industrial use of nuclear
energy, the rising problem of noise
and outdated workmen’s compen-
sation laws are major safety is-
sues to be resolved.
"In most states there are a great
deal more game wardens to pro-
tect animals than there are safety
issues to be resolved.
In a panel discussion of the
Walsh-Healey Act's safety stand-
ards, which affect contractors who
provide government goods, there
was strong objection to “farming
Our last meeting was held at
Jerry Jensen’s. We played Bunko
after the meeting and the winners
were Shirley Laster, Jackie Turn-
er, Shirley Crabtree and Peggy
Ratcliff. The prizes were ceram-
ics that Jerry had made. There
is always a big effort to win one
of these.
It was reported that the next
cycle of CCA would start in Sep-
tember and that we should save
"everything.”
We are sorry to say that Rose
Lovell resigned as secretary. Rose
has been sick for some time and
expects to have an operation soon.
Peggy Ratcliff was elected to fin-
ish the term.
I any one is able, we would
appreciate your giving a pint of
blood. Rose will need this blood
before her operation, so if possi-
ble, please get in contact with Jer-
ry Jensen or Peggy Ratcliff and
make arrangements.
The next meeting will be at Con-
nie Gricius, 636 North Franklin,
Apartment 112. We will have a
swimming party and a hamburger-
bar-b-q supper. The meeting has
been set up for 7:30 p.m., but you
can come earlier. The Telephone

52,000 and $2,500. A 10 per cent
down payment will be required
but may be reduced if raising
that amount proves too difficult
for workers who earn as little as
$40 a month, according to Directa-
William C. Doherty, Jr., of the
AIFLD’s Social Projects Depart-
ment. Monthly payments will be in
the neighborhood of $15.
Sale of the houses will be made
on a basis of "need,” to be defined
by agreement. Eligibility will be
restricted to the membership of
the 38 unions, with the final de-
cision by lot.
President Joseph A. Beirne of
the Communications Workers, the
AIFLD secretary-treasurer, at the
press conference announcing the
Brazilian project emphasized the
speed with which the organization
has moved since its establishment
to help provide housing and credit
facilities, and to strengthen unions

ress projects.

Wirtz appealed to AFL-CIO
Sec.-Treas. William F. Schnitzler
for aid in finding volunteers.
"Your help in getting people to
apply who have empathy for and
collegiate training or experience
in services for disadvantaged
• youth would be deeply appreci-
ated,’’ he said in a telegram de-
tailing the recruitment program.
Unemployment among teen-ag-
ers has been high for years and
is expected to worsen as postwar
"baby boom” children grow up and
enter the labor force.
Wirtz emphasized that the crash
program is only a start toward
filling a need for 31,000 full-time
advisers and counselors in the
next three years—25,000 in public
schools, 5,500 in Federal-State
Employment Service offices, and
600 for rehabilitation counseling.
Funds for financing the progam
are coming from Manpower De-
velopment & Training Act ap-
propriations.
Delegates at the opening of the
President’s Conference on Tuesday
were told by President Johnson
that “there is a common denom-
ination between your work and
mine.” His number one job, he
explained, is to preserve human
safety in the nation and in the
entire world.
Among those to address the
President’s Conference delegates
was Cornelius J. Haggerty, presi-
dent of the AFL-CIO Building &
Construction Trades Department,
who scored the "apathy and dis-
interest of the public in preven-
table accidents.
The entire nation was shocked
by the Alaska earthquake and
rushed immediate assistance, he
declared, yet by contrast Amer-
ican workers face a far more seri-
ous loss of life, injury and prop-
erty destruction each year which
could be prevented by an interest
in planned safety.
Haggerty told the conference
that little is being done to pre-
vent the continued high accident
toll in bridge, dam and building
construction.
He urged joint employer-union
safety programs, to be, recom-
mended to workers by the union.
He also urged pre-job safety con-
ferences where the entire job is
mapped ont and every partici-
pating worker briefed.
