Peace Talk
Sanction In
Unions Denied
' WASHINGTON W - AFL-CIO
President George Meany denies
the big labor organization is sanc
tioning peace talks with two
unions expelled on corruption
charges.
"Completely false," Meany said
In a statement Friday after
sources in the AFL-CIO reported
he had not objected to recent non
aggression discussions between
two AFL-CIO officials and the
(wo unions the International
Longshoremen's Assn. and, the
Teamsters'.
The talks were said to have
been aimed at a waterfront agree
ment to end jurisdictional disputes
between the AFL-CIO's Seafarers
International Union and the ILA.
Under the reported proposal, the
ILA would stop raiding the SIU
at Great Lakes and Puerto Rican
ports and the SIU would not try
to organize in the ILA's East
Coast territory.
Challenging the reports, Meany
g'aid the AFL-CIO is not backing
a jurisdictional pact between any
of its affiliates and the ILA. "I
had no prior knowledge of the
meeting referred to ana most cer
tainlv would not have given ap
proval had I been requested to do
so," Meany said.
Attending the talks were Paul
Hall. SIU head, and Harry O'Reil-
Iv. executive secretary of the
AFL-CIO Maritime Trades De
partment. Also taking part were
heads of the two expelled unions
ILA President William V.
Bradley and Teamster President
James R'. Hoffa. '
Hoffa is reoorted to want peace
between the two maritime unions
because his teamsters respect
picket lines of both groups and
thus sometimes are caught in the
middle.
The ILA was expelled from the
old AFL in 1953 on charges it was
dominated by racketeers. The
Teamsters were ousted from the
AFL-CIO last year on corruption
charges.

LOS ANGELES ( It was a
day of both glittering triumph and
embarrassment for Air Force

"I would fty so bar none!"
boomed the handsome, 34-year-old
combat veteran.
"Thanks a lot!" exclaimed his
pretty wife. Christine, with mock
sarcasm. Flown here by the Air

home for the announcement of his
feat, she was thinking, no doubt.

"Make that the second most ex
citing day!" Irwin cried as they
boih lauchcfl.
Mrs. Irwin described him: "He
Is easy to lie with, has an easy
going temperament." Of his flight
she said: "I'm real proud of
him."
Irwin, husky, of average height,
with blue eyes and a crew cut
receding at the temples, is so
modest it's hard to pry out of him
his adventures.
Born in Everett, Wash., and
reared in Wenatchee. he enlisted
in the Air Corps in January 1542
His closest call came when he
was strafing a German air field 90
miles east of Leipzig toward the
end of the war. Antiaircraft fire
crippled his P47's engine. He bel
lied in and was capiured.
"They held me in a hospital
prisoner-of-war camp there for
seven days although I wasn't in
jured." he recalled.
Then I went over the fence. I
saw a bike leaning against a nam
and rode it about 25 miles to the
American lines."
He got a previous DFC for de
stroying a trainload of ammuni
tion in the Ruhr Valley with
machine-gun fire in 1944. He flew
88 P47 combat missions, destroy
ing IS enemy planes on the
ground.
Leaving the Ail" Force In '45,
he flew charter flights and in
structed two years for a Wenat
chee air service. Then he did crop
dusting and instructing at La
Grande. Ore., until the Air Force
recalled him in 1951.
Irwin is a flight commander of
