The Denver region needs good people, especially in the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers. "There are plenty of phonies in this outfit (incidentally, tear this goddam thing up after you have read it)." Bad split on the executive board. Tries to recruit Whipple to a position with the union: "The on thing we lack is an educated rank and file that can develop leadership among itself." The paper and education program can do a heluva lot toward that end. The job was sold to me as one of the most important in the CIO and it was on that basis that Joe Selly of ACA permitted me to resign to take it."
