Washington—The historic nego-
tiations that developed the Postal
Reform bill now before Congress
proved that collective bargaining
works in the federal government
and paved the way for long over-
due collective bargaining rights for
all federal civilian employes.

We made the trip to Austin
last week and attended our State
Council and it was a very inter-
esting meeting. We talked about
dues checkoff, vacation plan, to
be in our next wage raise. Hope
this can be done.
Bro. Roy Travis, Herbert, and
Lloyd Tucker lost their father
last week-end. The funeral was
yesterday (Monday). Sure sorry
to hear about his death because
he was a former member of this
local
We still have some of the pic-
tures for you oldtimers. Come by
and pick them up. We are still
getting calls about how nice the
party was. Sure is nice to know
some members and their families
appreciate having a nice party
once in awhile.
Bro. Bill Boyd is still off work.
Bro. Red Campbell is out of the
hospital.
Brothers, don't forget thin, Bro.
Quarles lost everything in the
storm as well as his wife and
babies hurt real bad last week.
Will see you next meeting.
The executive-type jet crashed
on its rain-swept approach to the
airport at Pellston.
Authorities said it broke
through scattered clouds at 400
feet, clipped a tree top and then
271 feet farther along came down
in a ball of flames. The wreckage
was found in a dump of woods 1)4
miles southwest of the airport.
There were no survivors.
Reuther, 82, onetime AFL-CIO
vice-president who was chosen last
month for a new 2-year term as
president of the UAW, had
planned to drive from Pellston to
his union's $15 million family edu-
cation center now nearing comple-
tion on Black Lake in northern
Lower Michigan. The plane was
en route from Detroit.
The liberal-oriented, red-haired
Reuther had led his union to many
break-throughs in industrial con-
tracts, including “a guaranteed
annual income” and cost-of-living
wage increases.
Originally a tool and die ap-
prentice, he was a participant in
the then-sensational sit-down
strikes of the 1930s that won auto
industry recognition of the fledg-
ling union that was to grow into
a giant headed by him.
Killed with Reuther and his
wife, May, 69, in the twin-engine
6-passenger Lear Jet were Oskar
Stonorow a Philadelphia architect
who designed the education center;
William Wolfman, 29, Reuther's
bodyguard and Mrs. Reuther’s
nephew, and the pilot, George
Evans, and the copilot, Joseph
Karaffa, both of Columbus, Ohio.
Clarence Tatro, airport man-
ager, said the pilot was given
weather conditions and permission
to land in a radio exchange at
9:33 p.m., and there was no subse-
quent message from the aircraft.
Counting calories to keep off
the excess pounds usually isn’t
enough, according to the Health
Insurance Institute. Good old-
fashioned exercise is still essen-
tial if you want to stop that
“middle-aged spread.”
Our society has become so
mechanized, the Institute points
out, that few jobs require vig-
orous activity and few people do
enough physical activity in their
spare time.
Medical experts say that 30 min-
utes of moderate exercise each day
can take off 25 pounds a year if
you don’t eat any more than usual.
On the other hand, if you gobble
a snack here and there that adds
100 calories a day and you don’t
exercise, you’re a good bet to add
10 extra pounds a year.
The average adult burns up
2,400 to 4,500 calories a day, de-
pending on the amount and type
of exercise he gets.
Active persons such as laborers, .
soldiers in the field and athletes
may consume as many as 6,000
calories a day and yet not gain an
ounce.
In a controlled experiment a,
group of university students in-
creased their daily food intake
from 3,000 calories to 6,000 with-
out gaining weight. Their secret;
stepping up their exercise.
Reports the lifetime Sports
Foundation: "When people finish
school and go to work (especially
if the job is a sedentary one), they
tend to exercise less, but through
Advisory Unit Asks
Safety Law Action
Washington—A committee com-
posed equally of labor, manage-
ment and public representatives
has unanimously declared it “im-
perative” that comprehensive
safety-health legislation be en-
acted by Congress this year.
The 15-member group known as
the National Safety Advisory
Committee, was established last
April by Sec. of Labor George P.
Shultz to advise him on the wor-
sening problem of on-the-job acci-
dents and health hazards.
Following a meeting of the com-
mittee in Washington, Chairman
Howard Pyle announced that a
tripartite subcommittee will be
formed to seek areas of general
agreement on provisions that
should be in a safety-health bill.
Shultz expressed hope that the
subcommittee will perform an im-
portant role in gaining enact-
ment of legislation "that meets
the approval of employes, em-
ployers and others interested in
the welfare of men and women on
the job.”
Federal employes should be
quaranteed the “right to self-
determination” and a voice in their
wages and working conditions,
Zack declared. He said that such a
measure is “in the drafting stage
now” and will "go to the Congress
very shortly.”
Biemiller declared, “There isn’t
any question but what the (postal)
strike brought the matter to a
head,” but it wasn’t the “sole
factor behind Congress's willing-
ness to permit collective bargain-
ing between government employes
and government officials.” He said
that the concept has “grown”
under the Executive Orders pen-
men t workers’ salaries, he as-
serted.
Zack said that “public accept-
ance” of collective bargaining for
federal employes resulted from
“sudden realization of the condi-
tions under which postal employes
were working—the wage scales
they were getting,” which pro-
duced "a sense of shame in Ameri-
ca," and “collective bargaining be-
came a viable concept”
Biemiller and Zack agreed that
bargaining has many advantages
over the "lobbying” now necessary
to improve federal wages and
working conditions. They pointed
out that while progress has been
made toward “comparability” be-
tween government and private in-
dustry salaries, there are “con-
stant delays” between the time
adjustments are needed and the
time they are written into law.
Reporters questioning Biemiller
and Zack on the AFL-CIO pro-
duced program, were Tom Joyce
of Newsweek magazine and Tom
Foley of the Los Angeles Times.
The program is aired Tuesdays
on the Mutual Broadcasting Sys-
tem.
It is with the deepest of regrets
we report the following deaths
during the past week:
Bro. Elmo Engle, 65, died May
5, with funeral services May 7.
He came into our local when the
Greenville local consolidated with
our local. He held continuous mem-
bership since 1952.
We received word this Tuesday
morning that Bro. J. S. (Sid)
Goodsen, 67, had died Monday
night. His services are pending as
we file this report. He held con-
tinuous membership in our local
since 1940.
Miss Alma Lee Griffin, daugh-
ter of the late Bro. C. N. Griffin,
past Executive Secretary of the
Texas State Council of Carpenters,
died last Friday, her services were
held last Saturday morning. For
many years she was very active
in our Ladies Auxiliary.
Bro. E. C. Pinner, who has been
on our sick report for several
weeks, is now at home, 610 Hoke
Smith Drive. Mrs. A. O. Phipps
is reported to be in critical con-
dition in Steven’s Clinic.
There was a very good turnout
for the Specie] Call Meeting last
Monday night to elect delegates
to the Carpenters General Conven-
tion. Bros. A. J. Christian, Calvin
