Delegates-OK Larger CLPA Board, Explore Health Care. Other IssuesExpansion of the 15-member

Executive Council of the Cali-fornia Labor Press Associationwas authorized this week at theconcluding session of the CLPA'sSixth Annual Convention.The delegates who had parti-

cipated earlier in panel discus-sions on health care for alland on ways to communicateeffectively with the potential, thecurrent and the retired unionmember, authorized the creationof four additional at-large seatson the Executive Council andexploration of proposals to ex-pand CLPA's jurisdiction to in-clude 14 western states, includ-ing Alaska and Hawaii.Among other things, the dele-

gates:* Elected Cynthia McCaug-

han, editor of "Coffee Break,"the publication of Office andProfessional Employees Local30, as the CLPA's new presi-dent. She replaces Richard Mar-riott, editor of the SacramentoUnion Labor Bulletin.* Authorized a resolution com-

mending San Francisco MayorJoseph Alioto for his strongsupport of basic trade unionprinciples in connection with thelong drawn out strike at the SanRafael Independent-Journal.During the panel session on

the need for national health carelegislation, Don Vial, Chairmanof the Center for Labor Researchand Education at the Univer-sity of California at Berkeley

and co-chairman of the Advis-ory Committee on Quality Careof the California Council forHealth Plan Alternatives, em-phasized that trade unionistsmust be prepared to talk onthe deficiencies of the labor-backed program as well as itsadvantages.Vial said that organized la-

bor is supporting the NationalHealth Security Act of 1970 auth-ored by Senator Edward M. Ken-nedy (S.3) not because it repre-sents an extension of existingunion-negotiated programs butbecause organized labor nowrecognizes that "our alternativeprograms have failed."He pointed out that the man-

ner in which union-negotiatedas well as other health careplans are tied in with insurancecarriers through "experiencerating" and other devices hasresulted in p 1 a y i n g into thehands of existing health caredelivery systems that are in-adequate and beyond redemp-tion."Our programs are generally

hospital oriented and result inpushing people into hospitals,"Vial observed.

Since the Kennedy bill rec-ognizes the necessity of creat-ing a new health care deliverysystem while the Nixon proposaland other proposals like thoseof the AMA and the insuranceindustry seek to further entrenchthe existing delivery system, or-

ganized labor will have to beparticularly careful, during thelegislative fight for nationalhealth security not to makecompromises that sacrifice theprinciples contained in the Ken-nedy bill, Vial said.Bruce Poyer, former research

director for the Western Con-ference of Teamsters and nowan associate at the Center forLabor Research and Educationat the U.C. Berkeley campus,suggested that:"You can tell what's good

legislation by the amount ofmoney thrown against it."Noting that the AMA has al-

ready allocated $1.5 million toa national advertising and pub-lic relations firm to fight theKennedy bill, Poyer suggestedthat this was only the tip ofthe iceberg of reactionary forcesthat are already at work seekingto defeat the Kennedy bill.This is hardly surprising in

view of the fact that the wholerole of the insurance industrywould be eliminated once theprinciples contained in the Ken-nedy bill are enacted, he said.Poyer pointed out that the

Kennedy bill doesn't propose toraise new money but merely tomove existing money into moreeffective channels.He also emphasized that the

Kennedy bill does not, as Presi-dent Nixon has implied, involveany nationalization of the na-tion's health industry.

"It just makes it more effi-cient," Poyer said.

In an earlier session devotedto "reaching the union mem-ber," Louis Kuplan urged thelabor editors to carry more fea-ture stories on how retired un-ion members or other seniorcitizens can become involved inpolitical activity and at the sametime provide stories on localcommunity agencies that canhelp meet the needs of the re-tired worker.Too often, he said, current

union members tend to push therealities of their own retirementinto the back of their minds. Hedrove his point home when heasked:"Are you going to spend your

entire retirement fishing eighthours a day, five days a week?"Mike Grimes, an organizer for

the Culinary Workers and for-merly director of the success-ful Frontlash voter registrationprogram in San Francisco lastyear, tackled the problems ofcommunicating with the poten-tial union member.Among other things, Grimes

suggested that unions might con-sider reducing or abolishing ex-isting initiation fees and concen-trate more on taLking to poten-tial members on subjects of cur-rent concern to them. He pointedout that the unorganized workertoday is both younger and bet-ter educated than workers werea generation or so ago.

Labor Wins Fight to Block

PUC Proposed Gag Rules(Continued from Page 1)

treasurer of the Labor Federa-tion, wrote PUC President J. P.Vukasin, Jr., late last year toprotest the proposed rulechanges.Among other things the rule

Now We'reLosing WarOn Poverty

The steady progress madethroughout the decade of the six-ties in reducing the ranks of thenation's poor was reversed dur-ing the past year, according to areport just released by the U.S.Census Bureau of the Depart-ment of Commerce.The report indicates that the

number of Americans living inpoverty increased 1.2 millionduring 1970 to a total of 25.5 mil-lion, a 5.1 percent increase over1969.

This reversed a decline thathad been underway ever sincethe nation's poor totalled 39.8million in 1960. Until last year,the number of Americans in pov-erty had been declining at anaverage rate of 5 percent a year.Many economists attributed

the reversal to President Nixon'stight money economic policiesthat have resulted in freezes onfederal construction funds andpushed the nation's seasonallyadjusted unemployment r a tefrom 3.4 percent to 6.1 percent.The new poverty figures mean

that 13 out of every 100 Ameri-cans live in families having in-comes below the federally es-tablished poverty levels.Under the federally set stand-

ards a non-farm family of four,for example, needs an annual in-come of $3968 to get above thepoverty level.The report disclosed that the

poverty rate for blacks was 32.1percent, more than three timeshigher than the 9.9 percent ratefor whites.Looked at in a different way,

this means that right now oneout of every 10 whites and oneout of every three blacks in theUnited States is living in pov-erty.

changes sought by Vukasinwould have:* Required all parties seeking

to testify before the PUC to berepresented by an attorney.* Lumped labor organizations,

consumer groups and others intoa special "limited party" cate-gory that would have barredthem from cross-examining wit-nesses and utility company ex-ecutives.* Created a "substantial and

special interest" test that wouldhave further limited groupsfrom appearing before the PUC.* Adopted other rule changes

that would have limited discus-sion of many vital issues in ratesetting cases.To follow up this fight, Henning

called on all AFL-CIO affiliatesin California in January to writeto Vukasin to protest the pro-posed changes.And on February 10, 1971 the

State AFL-CIO filed a motionwith the PUC calling for a seriesof public hearings to be held be-fore any final action on the pro-posed rules was taken.The federation described the

12 More StatesNeed to Ratify18-Year Vote

Twenty-six states have al-ready ratified an AFL-CIO-backed constitutional amend-ment to let 18-year-olds vote inall elections but ratification by12 more states is required.At present fewer than 12 of

the states that have not yet rati-fied the amendment have legis-latures still in session but sev-eral that have already ad-journed may be called into spe-cial session later this year.The latest group of states to

ratify the amendment included:Colorado, Pennsylvania, Texas,South Carolina, West Virginiaand New Jersey.Earlier it had been ratified

by Alaska, Arkansas, California,Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii,Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas,Maine, Maryland, Massachu-setts, Michigan, Minnesota,Montana, Nebraska, Tennessee,Vermont and Washington.

proposed changes as "destruc-tive of democratic government"and said it had not seen anypublic notice of hearings on theproposed changes.The PUC's abandonment of

the proposed rule changes wasseen as a defeat for a committeeof lawyers who had claimed thechanges were needed to keepcranks and malcontents fromwasting the commission's time.During the fight to block the

gag rules, however, it was dis-closed that a number of the law-yers pushing for the changeswere from law firms that hadutility rate cases pending beforethe commisssion.The State AFL-CIO is also op-

posing a policy initiated severalmonths ago by the PUC to rotateveteran staff members out oftheir areas of expertise. TheLabor Federation maintains thatthis will give an unfair advan-tage to utilities seeking rate in-creases since they will be op-posed by PUC staffers lackingthe in depth knowledge requiredin the field.To date the major rotations

that have taken effect have beenin the transportation and utili-ties field.Despite the PUC's abandon-

ment of its attempt to ramthrough the changes in its rulesof procedure, no official changein the staff rotation policy in-itiated by Vukasin earlier thisyear has been reported.
