Shorter Work Week Is Sought By UE CHICAGO. Ill.—Residents from the Decatur area have been playing an active role in the 24th international convention of the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America (UE> “being held here at the Pick-Con-gress Hotql in this Mid-West city during this past week. Representing workers at the General Electric Co. ‘plant, the following have 'been serving as delegates from UE Local 924: Vernon B. Hebble. route 5; and Junior Lake, Winchester street, Decatur, Ind. More than 300 delegates from 28 states and Canada have been meeting, here to hammer out the,! UE s collective bargaining, organi-| zational and legislative program f for the coming year. Foremost among the goals of the!. United Electrical Workers’ union is I. the negotiation of a shorter work week with no reduction in present take-home pay in all plants where the union is the bargaining agent. < UE is seeking to reduce the regular work week to 35 hours at 40 hours pay. Albert J. Fitzgerald, general president of the independent un-j ion, reported that UE has stepped' up its organizational activities, over the past year. “We .won i more than 70% of the elections we j were in th;s year,” he claimed,' “and have won or won back 36! additional plants.” The union bar- , gains for some 150,000 workers. In pointing oup the union’s drive for a shorter work week, Fitzger-j old said: “If American industry' were to adopt a shorter work! week, the more than 4 million peo-| pie now walking the streets vain-! ly trying to get jobs could be put J back to useful, remunerative employment, "We have yet to feel the real' impact of automation which threatens to put many additional, millions out of work,” he said. “Each year mor# than a million, youngsters enter the labor market. ■ What's being done for them? “Let us face the hard fact that industry simply has no program' to meet these challenges,” Fitz-I gerald said. “UE is determined , to win the shorter work week dur-! ing the coming year’s negotia-j tions. It is a sound, practical! step capable of resolving in good' part the issues of grinding chronic unemployment, automation and the displacement of men by machines at a crucial point in our • country’s development. We simply must solve the problems of; jobs or we are in for a lot of, trouble. The shorter work week with no cut in pay can help,solve this problem.” Indiana Girl Dies In Louisville Crash LOUISVILLE.

WILSON United Press International WASHINGTON <UPI> - If the voting taxpayers of the United 'States were not listening to Maurice Stans the other day, it was their fault, not his. Moreover, [they deserve no sympathy. Maurice H. Stans is the U.S. budget director. What he was sayling this week was this: That U.S. taxpayers could win a tax cut without any reduction on military spending if they demanded economy in other areas. Stans knows where the govern-1 ment’s money comes from and he I knows where it goes. It is not idle talk when Stans says the votlers could compel economy in gdv- ; eminent if they demanded it. The .plain meaning of Stans' comment is that a great many of the dollars Congress squeezes from the (U.S. taxpayer are spent wastefulily to no immediately essential purpose. Ask 1960 Candidates I Such as that should make the U.S. taxpayer angry and set him Ito thinking about corrective ways l and means. It should wind him up Ito tight resolve about next year’s I presidential and congressional elections. That resolve should be Ito clobber on election day the pol-! jtician who clearly can be tagged ias a spender; to clobber him 'good, and to elect in his place a politician who clearly can be tagged as a taxpayer's man. If the taxpayer believes U.S. taxes are outrageously high and ■should be reduced, then he should ! ask next year’s candidates some; I questions. Among these questions' should be this: Where, when and Iby how much would you vote to reduce government spending? That is. in what areas of government spending would the candi'date be willing to cut? Such questions would obtain a (great deal of evasive double talk , in response, and it would be up to i the questioning taxpayer to make the candidate answer up. It ’ sould not be enough, either, merely to elect economy candidates to Congress or to the White House- j I Franklin D. Roosevelt was elect-1 ied president in 1932 on a platform j which promised a 25 per cent cut in government spending. FDR was inaugurated in March, 1933. His | econotny program collapsed in April. It is close to impossible to ; prevent politicians from becoming big spenders with other people s money—your money. It is no quite impossible, however. A taxpayers' rebellion would do it. Massive . Pressure Works The politician who knew he ■ probably would be licked next time up if he .voted to loot the treasury would be very hkely to vote against same. It could be as simple as that. > The massive pressure by which voters rammed a labor reform bill through the last session of Congress could ram through the next session some tax cutting economy measures. The political mechanics of such an operation would be identical. Taxpayers must be fired-up considerably before they will put that kind of pressure on Congress. Firing up the taxpayers will be quite a job. They seem to be fireproof, else there would have been long since in the United States, a political explosion to blow a lot of free-wheeling, free-spending polit-1 •icos out of office and back to the 'boondocks. ' „. 1M j A comforting thought: It could I happen here. Indianapolis Man Drowning Victim INDIANAPOLIS <UPD - Sherman Hampshire, 24, Indianapolis, drowned in Fall Creek here Friday despite the efforts of his uncle to save him.
