Thomas West, leader of the! textile union group in Erwin which bolted to the AFL, terms the move on the part of the CIO demand ing the return of funds and record | a “cheap legal trick to try and hurt j the store and tipe it out.” “They know they can’t take over ! again,” West declared, “so they are trying to break up the store.” He referred to the Worker's Supply Inc., named as one of the defend ants in the complaint. The store was set up by the union before the disaffiliation, to offer workers and the community food products at chain store prices,'after a legal vote at four union meetings. “At the time we tooK over,” West \ asserted, “we were still officially in i the CIO, and the funds were taken ! over under the instructions of the j executive board of which Hardy! Johnson, one of the complainants j was a member.” “Since he was a member of the I board that voted 'for the change,” West said, “I wonder why he didn’t; name himself as one of the defend-1 ants.” Legal papers such as these, West said, have been served on praetic- j ally every local that bolted the CIO | and they are nothing new. “They even tried to take over a building j and equipment in Danville that j cost $200,000, although they admit- ! ted in court that only 32 members, remained in the CIO local union,” he added.

Put the front hand just inside of the skirt seam, with the thumb and forefinger forward. , HERE’S HOW TO WALK There is another rule, which the G-gals and wives of politicoes will learn, and that is the rule of the walk. Viz: Let the leg swing out from the hip. Keep a “flowing” motion. The weight should transfer from heel of back foot to the ball, as the heel of the front foot touches the floor. The weight rolls forward on the front foot as the toe gives a little push. Keep the stride the length of your foot. Point the feet forward in two parallel lines. The Powers people don’t call powder and rouge “make-up.” They prefer the term “make down.” They don’t think that a secretary o r model or any woman with any sense ought to overdo the lip-rouge or eye-shadow. “Use good sense,” said Miss Mar beth, who wasn’t over-doing any thing herself with nothing but a light lip-stick and very little rouge on her cheeks. Getting back to the thigh bulge. For that sort of thing. Miss Mar beth advises you to fall flat on the floor gently.

There has been discussion among his advisers, meanwhile, about in viting Wilson Wyatt, former mayor of Louisville, Ky., and .one-time federal housing expediter, to take a job in the high command for the fall campaign, which must open in about a month. Never a candidate for office until he ran for governor in 1948, Stev enson is still relatively inexperienc ed in dealing with the problems of building a political organization.
