UAW Conducts
Strike Vote At
Ford Motor Co.
DETROIT, UP) — The United
Auto Workers Union, which has
insisted it does not want an auto
strike, disclosed Thursday that it
is conducting a strike vote among
100,000 Ford Motor Co. produc
tion employees.
The announcement by Ken
Bannon, national director of the
UAW Ford department, came less
than 48 hours after two Chrysler
plants in the Detroit area asked
permission of the international
UAW to hold a similar vote.
Bannon emphasized that “there
is no immediate threat of a
strike at Ford. We are just set
ting up the machinery in case
we need it.”
He said similar strike vote was
held just before the last con
tract was agreed upon in 1955.
The vote is part of the union’s
bargaining strategy and comes
at a time when both sides de
clared little or no progress is be
ing made.
An Open Letter To God
.ELIZABETH, N. J., UP) — The
letter, written in a childish
scrawl, was addressed “to God
in heven.” It read:
“Dear God,
I know you are busy, but please
will you make mommy well again.
Daddy says that you may take
mommy to heven to (be)with you.
I love you but I want my mom
my to stay here with me.
You can have any of my toys.
Daddy needs mommy two.
I will say my prayers every
day.”
Postmaster William Runyon
opened the letter Wednesday.
There was no signature.

F. A. Tipps, of Justin, Texas,
can be mighty thankful for the
man who donated a pint of blood
to the Flow Memorial Hospital
Blood Bank. And the man who
donated the blood can be mighty
thankful for the burst of patriot
ism and good will which caused
him to give it.
Here’s why: Tipps went to the
Denton hospital on the twentieth,
to donate a pint of blood. Three
days later he was admitted as a
patient to the ame hopital after
an automobile accident. When
his physician found a blood trans
fusion necessary for his recovery,
attendants went to the blood bank
and got a pint of blood Tipps
had contributed three days ear
lier and gave it back. What an
unusual fullfillment of Ecclesi
astes 11:1, “Cast thy bread upon
the waters: for thou shalt find
it after many days”!
What an illustration of the
Saviour’s wonderful care. “O
the depth of the riches both of
the wisdom and knowledge of
God! How unsearchable are His
judgments, and His ways past
finding out.” Romans 11:33.
In June 1944 the U. S. Navy
captured an enemy warship for
the first time in 130 years.
Having crippled the German sub
marine U-505 and forced it to
surface, American sailors boarded
the enemy ship and declared her
a prize of war.

answer.

House Investigating
Improper Influence On
Federal Agencies
WASHINGTON, UP)—Rep. Oren
Harris (D-Ark) offered a “stand
ing invitation” Thursday for
Sherman Adams or anyone else
to tell Harris’ House Subcom
mittee about any improper in
fluence on federal regulatory
agencies.
Harris did not specifically
name Adams, President Eisen
hower’s chief assistant, but he
said the invitation includes of
ficials of the executive branch.
Harris announced also that
“we’re going to start building the
case” next Monday in an inquiry
which so far has featured dis
puted allegations that Adams
pulled strings to help an old
friend, Boston industrialist Ber
nard Goldfine.
The Arkansas Democrat said he
would call in Federal Trade
Commission and Securities and
Exchange Commission officials.
Goldfine firms have been in
trouble with both agencies.
Adams was reported ready to
deny that he swung favored
FTC and SEC treatment for
Goldfine. The White House said
Adams was returning to Wash
ington from a New Hampshire
fishing trip.
Harris’ investigators have said
Goldfine paid nearly $2,000 for
this over a four-year period. But
Adams, it was said, always
thought Goldfine kept the hotel
rooms as a permanent residence
suite.
Goldfine, at Boston, confirmed
that his companies paid hotel
bills for Adams but denied the
latter used influence on govern
ment officials on Goldfine’s be
half.
“I think we are in a sad state,”
said Goldfine, “if a man cannot
entertain his old friends without
being subjected to this kind of
vilification.”
XJ. S. submarines participated
in every major operation and sea
battle in the Pacific during World
War II.
