r Page 10 Section" I Salem, Oregon, Thursflay, February 3 1. 1S57 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL' Steelworkers Give McDonald Big Vote Edge Opponent for Union's Helm to Contest Kalloling PITTSBURGH lUPl David J. McDonald held a bis margin to day in returns from Tuesday s election for president of the 1.2 million-member United Steelwork ers Union. There aoneared no doubt he would defeat his only opponent, Donald C. Hnrick, a rank and file steelworkcr with hardly any or Ionization behind him, and win re election to another four-year term The bifi questions, still unan swered, were the effects on Mc Donald's position in the American labor picture and on the USW it self resulting from the union's first contested presidential elec tion. A good sized vote (or Rarick would be embarrassing lor Mc Donald. Returns from some 500 of the union's 2.700 loca's gave McDon ald 97.405 voles and Rarick 20, 526. McDonald led in all sections of the country. Rarick discounted the results as announced by USW district head quarters. He said district officers were nearly all McDonald men and described some of their claims of big McDonald margins as "fantastic. He cited as an example Ihc fig ures announced by Joseph Ger- mano, director of District 31 in the Chicago area. Gcrmano re ported McDonald leading by a margin of better than 30 to 1. "Why, wc have more commit tee people working there than the votes he credits us, llaricK said. Rarick said he would contest Ihc balloting at Local 1299, Detroit, which reported 3,300 votes for Mc Donald and 833 for him. He said the local's executive board "all McDonald men" tabulated the votes and allowed no one from the Rarick camp to be present. Ho said he knew "without a shadow of a doubt" that Pitts burgh and its surrounding, area "will bo terrifically for us." Boy Flees as Mother Tries To Drown Him UNIONTOWN. Pa.
