BRIMLEY (Continued From Page 1) racy, where the Unions have sup ported the public schools to the very limit. Some weeks later newspapers carried the information that the Army had named this same Dr. Ralph Brimley as a member of a mission of fifteen educators to spend seven months in Japan, to instruct the Japanese in demo cratic education. When this an nouncement was made. President Fink very properly advised Presi dent Green of the AFL to inform the Army of Brimley’s statement of May 8, “warning” teachers under him against having any thing to do with the Union. President Green very properly and promptly, after havirfg been furnished with the facets in the Brimley tirade and his threats to the teacher# of Forsyth County, entered a protest against a man of Brimley’s autocratic and un democratic nature being sent on a mission to Japan to instruct the Japanese in democratic education. President Green’s letter was as follows: THE AMERICAN FEDERATION OF LABOR William Green, President Washington, D. C. July 2, 1961. Colonel Robert Outsell, Chief, Reorientation Division, Office of Occupied Areas, Office of the Secretary of Army, The Pentagon, Washington, D. C, I Dear Sir: «, Recently I was called upon by President Fink of the North Car. dine State Federation «f Labor, to protest in the name of the American Federation of tabor against the appointment of Balph Bii&tley, Superintendent of Schools of Forysth County, North Carolina, to a mission to instruct Japanese in democratic education. I was advised that the opposi tion of the organised labor move ment of North Carolina to tho ap pointment of Dr. Brinsley was based upon the fact that when a teachers onion was organised in the district where Dr. Brimley serves, be threatened these teachers with (1) he would not give them * second chance after they had made their first mistake; (2) he would not recommend them to lobs in other counties If they had been active hi the Union In Forsyth County: (S> he would not appoint union teachers to admini strative positions. Ail these threats wera made publicly. In view of this biased attitude of Dr. Brimley to union teachers and to the unionization of teach, ers, I voice to you my personal and official protest in tho name and behalf of the American Fed* rration of Labor, against the ap pointment of Dr. Ralph Brimley to serve on a mission to instruct Japanese in democratic education. Very sincerely yours. (Signed) WM. GREEN, President, American Federation of Labor. The Army very wisely recog nised the justice of President Green’s protest, and the invita tion to Dr. Brimley was recalled, and an alternate named in his place. Then it was that North Caro lina’s two Senators and Represen tative Barden became angry and intemperate. They charged the Army with having taken dictation from the American Federation of Labor. Tbeir cries and fiery ut terances were duly recorded on the front pages of North Caro lina’s daily newspapers. Editorial writers on these daily papers, with but few notable exceptions,1 made repeated vicious attacks up- j on the Army, the American Fe<f- t eration of Labor and our own, State Federation of Labor. President Fink has issued many very calm and thorough explana tions of why it was necessary for ija to prevent, if possible, the mistake of our country in sending a man like Dr. Ralph Brimley on a mission to Japan to instruct the Japanese in democratic edu cation. His statements .received scant attention in the press of our own state. Dr. Brimley’s own words to the teachers under him most assuredly disqualified him as an instructor to the Japanese on the question of democratic edu cation. No act or action among the rulers of Japan has ever been more undemocratic than Dr. Brim ley’s autocratic and dictatorial postion which he assumed when he spoke to North Carolina School Compliments of A Friend GREETINGS Poultry Com pony W1,1,,,!, O-U. noiwSwiw • 2811 Cwlftl Avenue Phene 3-2177 CHARLOTTE, N.

We are send ing copies of this communication to every member of the Congress, to the President, to the Cabinet members and the heads of De partments, so each of them may have the facts, and not be in- j fluenced by the vicious statements I by Senators Hoey and Smith and Congressman Barden. They are attempting at this time to have Dr. Ralph Brimley rein, stated to the mission. -We urge you in the name of common sense and common justice to oppose Dr. Brimley’ reinstatement on the mission.
