Unions Lose Membership Editors Note: The following in terpretive was written by Norman Walker, a veteran AP reporter who has covered the lop stories in the labor field for many years. He knows labor laws and labor leaders intimately and has writ ten extensively of the many prob lems that spring from them. By NORMAN WALKER Associated Press Labor Writer MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (API The AFL-CIO is tapping its mem bers for an extra $2.2 million to counter a deficit caused by a combination of bad luck and bad work. The bad luck is the unemploy-' ment situation. In five years the ArL-CIO has lost a million mem bers, many of them made job-: less in the 1958 recession and the current one with consequent dues payment loss. The bad work comes from lack of successful organizing. The federation s unions have lost ei ther their technique or zeal or both in enlisting new members, These are the reasons behind a decision made Monday by the! 29-mcmber AFL-CIO Executive Council, high command of the la bor union federation, to levy a special assessment on the organ ization's 12.5 million members. The special dues payment will be three cents a month per mem ber on top of the regular five cents a month dues payment. This makes a total of eight cents a month payable by each affiliated union on each of its members. This is a temporary expedient to meet a financial crisis. AFL-CIO leaders said privately that when the federation's convention con venes in December they expect: to propose, and get, a permanent two-cent hike in monthly per cap ita dues. All this underlines the fact clearly shown in the 10-day winter meeting of AFL-CIO chiefs, now rearing a close, that union la bor's main organization is cur rently wobbly both in word and deed. Pronouncements from the AFL- CIO leaders have largely dealt with the bread and butter wage and job security matters that worry the average worker. This is partly due to the chang ing American scene the fact that SPOILS OPENING SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) -The United California Bank opened for business under its new cor porate name Monday and chalked up its first robbery. A young bandit escaped with $2,000 even before a painter fin ished painting the new name on the door. They'll Do It Every Time w-...t.. By Jimmy Hatlo Nfc HEV--IHIS I DO A I So TWO QUICK.'

Entertainment Booming In Orient By BOB THOMAS AP Movie-TV Writer HONG KONG (AP)-The thing that impresses this observer of! the show world is the diversity of nighttime entertainment across the Pacific. And it's live! That's the refreshing part to American visitors, who are used to getting their entertainment from movies, TV, records, juke boxes and oth er canned forms. Out here, show business is live and lively. Take the Hong Kong! dance palaces, for example. When patrons walk in, they are given a menu. But it doesn t contain the food and drink; it lists the hostesses by name. By theory, the dances run from 4 to 7 and 8:30 to midnight. That's the era of manual labor is fast disappearing and that the day has dawned for the clerical workers more highly skilled and less sus ceptible to becoming union mem bers. The labor leaders are aware of this change but as yet haven't decided on a successful formula to handle it. when the orchestra plays, but most of the girls are there only from 5-6 and 10-11. Reason is the Eastern tradition of saving face, They don't want others to think they are too eager to arrive early or too unpopular to stay late. Night clubs are booming in Japan. None of them is cheap. Many an American tourist has blundered into them with confi dence in the low standard of high living, then howled to get a $40 bill for a few drinks. How do' the Japanese, afford such high tariffs? "In America, the expense ac count is a craft," said one expert observer. "In Japan, it is a pol ished art." The Japanese floor shows seem fairly tame by American stan dards. For a $2 cover charge, one big club offered a tempestuous Japanese girl who did a couple of Latin dances (no strip) and a pair of American tap dancers. Some clubs feature more elabo rate produclions, but nothing on a Las Vegas standard. However, more acts are being imported from the U:S. for brief runs names like Earl Grant, Kingston Trio and soon, Sammy Davis Jr. Honolulu night spots are mostly small and rely on local talent. The quality of the music is ex cellent, with accent naturally on guitars and falsetto crooning. The hula is always surefire with the tourists, as are the knife and fire dances. Tahiti has a night life all its own. It consists of wild dancing singly or in pairs at such water front joints as Quinn's and Bar Lea. When they close down around 11, everyone hops on bi cycles and motor scooters to ridej miles up the coast to Lafayette's,) where the dancing continues into: the morning. Ah, Tahiti! On that idyllic note, I end these Pacific chronicles. Service No Change In Rates Conner's Service Co. 2009 So. 6th Ph.
