Disneyland Spotlights
‘Man in Flight’ on
KNOM-TV Tomorrow
“Orville and Wilbur Wright
will be home for Christmas.”
Such was fame in 1903, for this
team, laconically reported by the
Dayton hometown papers in the
late fall of that year, completely
ignored the fact that the immor
tal Wright brothers had just com
pleted the first successful heavier
than air plane flight in history !
The Wright brothers’ achieve
ment plus the press’ failure to
attach any importance to the
event serve as a prelude to the
development of heavier than air
craft as depicted in Walt Disney’s
dramatic story of aviation his
tory, “Man in Flight.”
‘Man in Flight”, a brilliant,
new Tomorrowland hour, will be
presented from 7 to 8 p.m. Sun
day, April 28, on Disneyland over
KNOM-TV, Channel 4 and the
ABC Television Network.

Eisenhower Declares Labor
Racketeering “Abomination
Which Must Be Eliminated”
AUGUSTA. Ga., WV—President
Eisenhower Thursday called
labor racketeering “an abomina
tion which must be eliminated.”
He said union leaders who abuse
power and trust “are not fit to
hold union offices.”
Eisenhower expressed those
views in a statement after a 90
minute conference here with Sec
retary of Labor Mitchell. The
President called for swift enact
ment of legislation to provide for:
1. Registration, reporting and
public disclosure of full data on
union health and welfare funds.
I The administration already has a
bill before Congress to take care
of that.
2. Public disclosure of all other
financial records of unions, in
cluding such items as dues col
lected, the salaries of union of
ficials, and the amount of money
in union treasuries.
In his statement the President
said the administration has fdl
lowed “with intense interest” the
efforts of a Senate special com
mittee “to bring to light disclos
ures of corrupt practices and
abuses by officers and members

| of some labor unions.” Eisen
I hower added:
! “Labor racketeering, like cor
I ruption anywhere, is an abomin
' ation which must be eliminated
I if and whenever it occurs. Any
officers and employes of labor—
and it appears there have been
few — who abuse the power and
trust imposed upon them are not
fit to hold union offices.
“The American working man
and woman deserve from labor
leadership high standards of trust
and fidelity.”
