NOW NOT TO GET INTO THE SWIM

Whether you own your o«n

heeding these lips on marine
safety:
According lo I'.S. Coast
Guard stalls! »c*. the greatest

operator fault is the overload

pleasure craft' Here's how not
to get into the swim that often
re*ults.
1 When loading your boat,
distribute the load—including
passengers—evenly.
'2. If your boat is small,
don't let anyone stand up.
Small craft can IK- very unsta

keep low and move towards
the craft's centerline.

WATCH OUT FOR THESE PLUMBING HAZARDS
Wait! Before you tackle thai
plumbing job yourself, trying
to save the, Uy*. dollars your
plumber wifttfa charge, listen
to the former chief inspector
of Detroit's bureau of plumb

out by amateurs that actually

not only by what you do. but
also by what you buy. The l»esl

and thoroughly safe.
But some economy brand
detergents are made without
phosphates. Substitutes are
u»ed. At least one proposed
substitute actually eats away at
pipes and gradually carries tiny
hits of metal down the drain!

CONFLICTS OF OUR TIMES
by Vant Neff
Have you heard of the Dust
Committee? No, it isn't a house
wife's unhappy chore. It is far
more distasteful. Prior to the
United Mine Workers Union elec
tion. hand-picked coal miners
were permitted to join the ranks
of Dustmen. They were paid S6S
a day. instead of the 522 they
might ordinarily earn down in
the coal mines. Comparatively
speaking. "Dusting" is an easy
life. The Dustmen's function is to
sweep in votes for a particular
candidate by hook or by crook.
Their persuasive tactics paid off
for Tony Boyle, the current UMW
president, but not for loseph
Yablonski, who was found mur
dered. It is reported that union
funds were tapped for the Dust
men's exorbitantly high wages.
This is money that was clipped
from the coal miners' pay enve
lopes. supposedly to be put aside
for pensions and projects that
would benefit the miners.
No one can say which of the
two candidates Boyle or Ya
blonski would have made a
better union president. But I
hardly think that money clipped
from the miners should have
been used to pay con men
excuse me. Dustmen to intimi
date or coerce workers into vot
ing for a particular candidate.
Some miners who didn't yield
to the Dustmen's pressure meth
ods the first time around were
then escorted on gratis "indoctri
nation vacations"—paid for by
union funds, naturally until
they were further convinced.
When that didn't work, a little
money usually did. In brief—
union funds were used to buy
people.
This was given as testimony
by the son of the slain Yablonski
before the Senate Labor Sub
committee. In my opinion, it's
time to sweep out the Dustmen
and anyone else responsible for
corruption, violence and tyranny
in unions. The workers pay for,
and surely deserve, better lead
ership than this!

Note to the leftist Prime Min
ister of Sweden: For all of your
country's reputedly liberal poli
cies. wasn't the manner in which
the Black Ambassador from the
United States to Sweden was
treated rather a shameful contra

all the American deserters your
country is harboring? And what
about Sweden's offer of S4O mil
lion to aid the Vietcong? As any
obearrer of tb« international
scene is aware, arbitrary con
duct isn't a new rote for Sweden.

urge you not to throw litter

The other side of the coin: The

was caught conspiring to melt

In protest, hundreds of alleged

Caught in its own web: The
National Labor Relations Board
has consistently ruled in favor

to the Civil Service Commission

refused to bargain over tempo

made them mandatory. The

tremendous losses in both profits

Duke Urologist
To be Advisor
Sagon School
Dr. Richard C. Reznichek,
adjunct assistant professor of
urology it Duke University
Medical School, will assume an
advisory position with the Uni
versity of Saigon Medical
School in September.
His work will be based at
the Blnh Dan Hospital in Sai
gon.
His assignment is a contin
uation of efforts by the
American Medical Association
and the State Department to
upgrade medical care and edu
cation in South Vietnam. The
program includes teaching
visits by consulting physicians
from the United Stated who
work in conjunction with doc
tors at the Saigon medical
center.
Duke University Medical
School's counterpart program
in the department of urology
is one of approximately 16
idvisory areas. Counterpart re
lationships between various
clinical departments in the
Saigon school have been deve
loped with corresponding de
partments in other institutions
throughout the U. S.
The urology counterpart
chairman is Dr. James Glenn,
chief of urology at Duke, who
has just recently returned from
his second visit to Saigon as a
consultant.
"Emphasis in the past de
cade has been on the pre
clinical years of medical
school," Reznichek explained.
"The program is now moving
into an accelerated phase
which will involve work in
clinical medicine and advanced
training for doctors."
His main responsibilities
will be teaching and advising
in organization of the residen
cy program. Dr. Rexnichek will
also work to extend urology
to additional hospitals and help
in the planning of a new teach
ing hospital at the Saigon medi
cal center.

Some policemen are so proud
of being called "Pigs" that
they've been sporting badges
labelling themselves just that. In
their case, the name is qualified
by the meaning. "Patriotism, In
tegrity, Guts!"
It is apparent that the inces
sant and excessive wage de
mands of labor are forcing our
country to the brink of economic
disaster. There is no reason why
a worker who produces, let's say,
two umbrellas should not be paid
more than a man who produces
only one. But the union that de
mands a three-umbrella-salary
for a person who is only making
one umbrella is actually impos
ing a higher price per umbrella
on you and me. It's a vicious
cycle that brings inflation rain
ing down on us, along with a
shower of endless price increases
for all kinds of commodities and
services. As David Rockefeller,
Chairman of the Board of the
Chase Manhattan Corporation,
stated, unless industry and labor
assume "a more responsible at
titude", we may all end up with
a lot less.
A teacher was arrested for
selling drugs to a teen age stu
dent outside the school. In this
case, isn't it the teacher who
needs a good, stiff lesson in
morals?
The U. S. Supreme Court de
livered a staggering blow to the
labor leaders and they're infur
iated. According to a new ruling,
when a union signs a no-strike
agreement, it must stick to its
guns. While it doesn't mean we'll
never suffer another strike, it is,
to me, an indication that our
courts are taking a firm stand
on an important issue. Now, isn't
it time for our legislators to hop
on the same bandwagon and
seek the changes in labor law
that our country needs?
The super-wisdom of some
journalists, especially those at
the New York Times, is truly
awesome. Just let the Nixon ad
ministration take any action
whatsoever, and this privileged
group has an instant evaluation
of the "right" meaning and im
portance. Mr. Agnew, please
take point: they
criticize everyone else roundly,
but they made such a big settle
ment with their workers that
they were forced to increase the
price of the newspaper 50%/B
that isn't inflationary, what is?
STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF CAUFORNIA
INTRODUCES CHEVRON GASOLINES WITH F-310
' ii \
SAN FRANCISCO—New gas
olines with F-310*, a revolu
tionary additive that, the com
pany says, "makes a real con
tribution to air pollution con
trol," have been introduced by
Standard Oil Company of Cali
fornia.
TV new Chevron gasolines
with F-310 will keep the criti
cal parts of a clean engine free
from harmful deposits, so that
its exhaust emissions will re
main at a minimum, Standard
reported.
Moreover, the company said,
just six tanksful of Chevron
gasoline with F-310 will clean
deposits from critical parts of a
dirty engine, sharply reducing
its emissions of unburned
hydrocarbons and carbon mon
oxide—two of the major pollu
tants in auto exhaust.
In a demonstration for news
men (above), Standard showed
how the new additive can clean
an engine so dirty that its
exhaust will actually burn.
The car on the left was
driven under typical urban con
ditions with a non-detergent
test gasoline until it was emit
ting a high level of unburned
hydrocarbons and carbon mon
oxide. Its exhaust was easily
lighted, like a torch.
The car on the right was
driven under the same condi
tions until its engine was just as
dirty, then it was switched to
six tanksful of Chevron with
F-310. As a result, its exhaust
would not ignite, because of
the reduced hydrocarbon and
carbon monoxide content, the
company said.
F-310 also improves mileage
in dirty engines and helps to
maintain it in clean ones, since
cleaner engines consume less
fuel, the company pointed out
further.

And Answers
With research a vital part of
the Veterans Administration's
vast medical program, Adminis
trator Donald E. Johnson has
announced that research addi
tions costing sll million will
be constructed at eight of its
hospitals.
The VA has some 6,000
research projects currently
under way at many of its 166
hospitals most of which are
affiliated with university and
college medical schools.
The new buildings will be
constructed at VA hospitals in
Cleveland, Cincinnati, Ann Ar
bor, Mich., . Philadelphia,
Oklahoma City, Okla., Wil
mington, Del., AJbuquetque, j
and Jackson, Miss.
Information on bidding,

tion, 811 Vermont Avenue,
N. W., Room 447, Washing
ton, D. C. 20420, or from the
resident engineer at the above
hospitals.
Dr. E. D. Kane, president of
Chevron Research Company,
Standard subsidiary which
developed F-310, described a
number of tests which support
the claims for the product.
In one test by Scott Research
Laboratories, a leading auto
motive testing organization,
F-310 reduced hydrocarbon
emissions from eight autos
with very dirty engines by an
average of better than
50% from 560 to 250 parts
per million—and cut carbon
monoxide emissions by an
average of more than a third—
from 2.5% to I.6%—after less
than 2,000 miles of driving.
In another test by Scott Re
search, a fleet of cars in Orange
County, California, was
switched from a competitive
gasoline to Chevron with
F-310. Results from 37 vehi
cles, after 2,000 miles of opera
tion on F-310, showed that
hydrocarbon emissions were re
duced by an average of 48
ppm, or 13%, and carbon mon
oxide was cut an average of
31%.
Dr. Kane emphasized that
the new product "is by no
means the total solution to the
air pollution problem. But it is
a significant step in the right
direction." ' Tft
The new gasolines are now
available throughout most of
Standard's marketing areas, in
all grades of Chevron gasolines,
at no increase in cost.
Although F-310 additive is a
proprietary development, it
will be made available for use
by other gasoline refiners, Dr.
Kane said.

Filmed Report
On Liberia is
Special on TV
NEW YORK - A black
society with an integration pro?
hlem to graphically portrayed
in a filmed report on Liberia
to be presented on NBC News'
"First Tuesday" Sept 1 (9-11
p.m. NYT, in color) on the
NBC Television Network.
The report, Aimed by cor
respondent-producer Bob
Rogers over a period of five
weeks, depicts a country with a
split personality. English-speak
ing America-Liberia n&, des
cendants of the freed Ameri
can slaves who settled in 1922
and formed Africa's first re
public in 1847, remain in
power. They contrast in both
life-ctyle and affluence with
the tribal people who make
up 90% of the population and
live mainly at a primitive sub
sistence level.
"Liberia has more or less
paralleled the United States in
integration," Mr. Rogers says.
"It is only la the last 25
years that this country has
come to grips with the pro
blem, and our African step
child, under President Tubman,
has seriously started to tackle
Its split personality in that
same period. They call their
integration 'unification'."
President W. V. S. Tubman,
74, figures prominently in the
report.
"Any story of Liberia is
really the story of President
Tubman," Mr. Rogers says,
"because after 25 years of
largely one-man rule, he has
pretty well impressed his per
sonality on the whole country.
And despite the fact that it is
one-man rule, he has managed
to coax and cajole and, where
necessary, push Liberia out of
its lackadaisical pre-Civil War
social structure and way of life
into the 20th century. The
stability of government that
has been rigidly enforced has
been responsible for attracting
foreign investment."
And, he adds: "A lot of
people consider Liberia a
police state, but I don't really
think the police are that effi
cient. It is not a harsh place,
although the President's influ
ence is omnipresent."
Liberia is the only African
country, he notes, which hes
never been under foreign rule.
Even Ethiopia was occupied
briefly by the Italians during
the second World War.
Castor and Pollux were known
as the "twin brethren" or the
"Gemini" and are immortalized
in one of the star con
stellations.
