...embarrassing picket was James Sweeny, 59, a onetime coal miner and longtime professional organizer who was booted out of his $6,500-a-year job a few weeks ago and into retirement with a $96-a-month pension. At the same time, the A.F.L.-C.I.O. fired, retired or switched to different jobs nearly 100 organizers (out of 218). The A.F.L.-C.I.O. explained the shake-out as a necessary economy measure, but to the jolted organizers and ex-organizers it seemed just a hard-fisted example of old-fashioned capitalistic union-busting. Reason: early in 1957, the organizers organized a little...
Died. Henry Bruère, 76, longtime president of Manhattan's Bowery Savings Bank, dollar-a-year man in F.D.R.'s first Administration, adviser to New York mayors over a span of five decades; in Winter Park, Fla. Bruère, who gave New York its first budget system, was named city chamberlain in 1914, resigned after two year because he thought his $12,000-a-year office should be abolished (it was, 20 years later). Turning to banking at 45, he became president of the world's largest mutual savings bank...
From a drafty shack with primitive plumbing in a shabby section of Cedartown, Ga., Lee Cantrell, 35, last week joyfully moved his wife and two children into a brand-new modern house. Yet Cantrell, a $2,350-a-year clerk who had been living in the only place he could afford, will pay only $23 a month plus utilities, less rent than he paid for his shack. Reason: the new house is one of 13 newly scattered through Cedartown (pop. 10,000) under the first such Government experiment in the U.S. The results may bring a great change in planning...
...that all editorials on local topics be cleared with the business office, Herb Hames buttoned his typewriter on local issues. But last November, after radio station WCMY's Newscaster Ron Wilson reported that trustees of Ottawa's mismanaged municipal hospital had fired a newly hired $12,000-a-year administrator with $8,000 severance pay, Newsman Hames wrote an editorial analyzing the hospital's chronic troubles with the board of trustees, showed it to the front office only after the editorial had been locked up. Reason: Mrs. Edward Kelly, wife of the Republican-Times's general...
Moreover, the relaxation extends up the income line-a $7,000-a-year man was limited to a $12,600 house, is now eligible for a $16,500 house; a $9,000-a-year man was confined to a $14,400 house, can now buy a $21,600 house. Furthermore, a wife's income, which was usually not taken into account, is now likely to be counted if she has a steady...
