PALM BEACH POST-TIMES, Sunday, Oct. 20, 1957 Page 43 Age Of Missiles Spurs Trend To Locate Industry In Florida TALLAHASSEE, Oct. 19 (P) The age of the guided missile and rolled around just about right for Florida to make its big industrial bid. Up until a few years back tourist-minded Floridians spurned talk of industrial development, A short two years ago, former Gov. Millard Caldwell deplored efforts "to make the state another Pittsburgh." But "clean" industry being blended into Florida's semitropical landscape is changing that, and spurring population and economic growth.

Ironically, the facts that make Florida one of the nation's top tourist -magnets climate and 18.5 Million U.S. Workers Members Of Labor Unions WASHINGTON, Oct. 1 19, (P)- The Labor Dept. reported today latest survey shows a total labor union membership of about million. The department said the membership claims of U.S.

unions as of the beginning of 1957 added up to that figure. It is some 500,000 greater than the total in the department's last survey at the beginning of 1955. More than one million of the million members of American unions were outside the United States, primarily in Canada. The survey showed about 16,900,000 of the members in ions affiliated with the AFL CIO. which has been claiming only 1 15 million members.

The Labor Dept. said at about one fourth of the nation's total labor force, and about one-third of employes in non-farm employment, belong to unions. It said these ratios have remained about the same since the end of World War II. The survey had a number of sidelights. One was that about 3,400,000 women are union members.

Another was that an estimated million white collar workers professional, clerical and sales employes- are unionists. The white collar field is one the unions have been trying to organize most recently. Ten unions account for nearly half of the country's total union membership. Six unions have a combined membership of 000 members, or one out of three union members. The he half dozen largest unions, order of size, are the Teamsters, Auto Workers, Steelworkers, Machinists, Carpenters and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.

The Labor Dept. figured there are about 125,000 collective bargaining contracts in effect, 'covering some 18 million workers, including some workers not union members. There are 17 unions of government workers, with a combined membership of nearly 700,000, which do not negotiate agreements. The survey, made by the department's Bureau of Labor Statistics, is to be detailed in a new labor union directory to be published soon. The directory is revised every several years.

Egyptian Units Sail For Home DAMASCUS, Syria, Oct. 19 (A)- Egyptian naval units which brought Egyptian troop reinforcements to Syria last Sunday sailed for home today. The move came on the heels of reported new mediation efforts by King Saud of Saudi Arabia in the Turkish-Syria crisis. The troops were sent here in an operation of the joint EgyptianSyrian-Saudi Arabian defense command. It was an obvious gesture by Egypt to back up Syrian and Soviet charges that Turkish troops were massing in a threat to Syria's security.

(British and American sources have estimated the troops numbered 1,000 to At Latakia, Syria's chief Mediterranean port, Syrians there massed by the thousands for a farewell to the Egyptian sailors, shouting "long live Shukri, long live Gamal." Shukri Kuwatly is Syria's president. Gamal Abdel Nasser is president of Egypt. Damascus newspapers reported that King Saud advised Kuwatly he has sent a message to Turkish President Celal Bayar calling for withdrawal of Turkish troop concentrations near the Syrian border. Saud has been in Beirut conferring with Lebanon's President Camille Chaumon about the Middle East crisis. Communist bloc expressions of support for Syria continued to mount.

The publisher of the Damascus daily Al Alam, now touring Red China with a Syrian press delegation, reported in a dispatch that Mao Tze-tung sad he would be delighted to meet Kuwatly. Red China has already pledged to support Syria against Turkish aggression "inspired by American imperialist conspiracies," without saying how. The East German commercial representative in Damascus delivered a note pledging Communist East Germany's support Syria in event of a Turkish attack. The Hungarian foreign ministry in Budapest issued a government statement assuring Syria of Hungarian support and attacking what it called "the American, Turkish and Israeli provocateurs."

Famed Imposter Said Hired As Teacher In Alaska Town JUNEAU, Alaska, Oct. 19 (P One of the most famous imposters apparently was employed briefly last month as a $6,400 a year school teacher in Alaska, the department of education said today. Department officials said an examination of records indicated a man they hired as Martin Daniel Godgart, 31, might well be Ferdinand Waldo Demara, 35, whose career in the last 10 years has cast him in such roles as a Canadian naval surgeon, college professor and an assistant warden of a Texas prison.

Don M. Dafoe, territorial com. missioner of education, said there were many similarities between the background of Demara and Godgart, who was employed for about two and a half weeks as a teacher at the territorial elementary school at Dillingham, a fish. ing town off Bristol Bay in far western Alaska. Godgart, who listed his home as Salem Depot, N.H., on his application for employment with the department of education, had a letter of recommendation from a Fred Demara of Box 374, Laconia, N.H.

Demara rated Godgart as "superior" on such matters as personal and social character, personality, teaching ability and professional attitude. He classed as "average" only on two points mentioned in a department questionnaire health and personal appearance, In reply to the question, "would you be willing to employ the applicant? Demara replied: "Indeed." Dafoe said Godgart accepted employment as a teritorial teacher in a collect telegram from Lawrence, Aug. 3. Demara, when his previous mas. querades were made public, had nelworth, a granddaughter, Jean Marsh of Mt.

Vernon, N.Y.; seven great-grandchildren; three nieces, Miss Elizabeth Marriott of Vienna, Austria, Mrs. William Meggers of Elmhurst, and Mrs. Eugene Wells of Lake Geneva, and three nephews, Roger Marriott of Rockford, David Marriott of Pacific Palisades, and Frederick Rogerson of St. Louis, Mo. Friends may call at MizellSimon-Faville Funeral Home today from 12 noon until 5 p.m.

Funeral services will be conducted at 5 p.m, today at the funeral home. The Rev. Vale of Forest Hills Presbyterian Church will officiate. Further services and burial will take place in Milan. MRS.

Lucky. winning the electronics and enginleering industries Florida is the state's ability to attract engineers and skilled labor through its sunshine and attractiveness as a place to live. Pratt and Whitney officials attest to the state's pulling power with hard-to-get skilled technicians. Last year when Pratt and Whitney was casting about for a place to locate a jet engine test center it ran parallel blind ads in industrial centers to lure technicians. One of the ads asked for applications for work with an unidentified engine-manufacturing concern.

The other invited applications from such a firm to work in Florida. The ads with the Florida lure far outdrew the other, and proved to be one of the deciding factors in locating the 40 million dollar plant near West Palm Beach. Last week, Minneapolis-Honeywell's new million dollar vibration-proof inertial guidance plant was opened in the St. Petersburg area. Resembling fashionable apartments, these new-type smokeless and fumeless plants are being fitted into the Florida landscape in such a way as to enhance rather than detract from the natural beauty.

But the biggest, quickest spur to industrial development of any area industrial development of any area has come about in the perimeter surrounding the Air Force Missile Test Center at Patrick Air Force Base near Cocoa, where the United States will launch its own satellites soon. Cape Canaveral, where the longrange missiles are launched their long course across the Atlantic, is 18 miles north of Patrick the coast. In mid-1956 there were 9,500 persons employed at the missile test center, of which 5,500 were employed by the contractors engaged in constructing and operating the facilities. The civilian contracts represent a cross-section of the aircraft, population and electronic industries in the United States. Up until the Russians launched "sputnik" the civilian contractor personnel strength there had been programmed to double by 1960.

Now probably will go even higher. West of there, near Orlando, Martin Co. is building a multimillion dollar plant geared to guided missile program which may become the state's largest industrial plant. B. F.

Fuller, executive director of the Florida Industrial commission which is coordinating the drive for new industries, said Florida isn't benefitting particularly from the industrial shift from one section of the country to another. "It's mostly new. type industry," he said, "although there's no question but that the state has benefited tremendously from the trend toward dispersion of industry since there was SO much new territory for industry to move Gov. Collins said that in addition to the climate, Florida's favorable tax base has served as a big lure for industry. There are no corpor-Ition ate or personal state income taxes and no state ad valorem tax.

The bulk of Florida's taxes are on the consumer, and the tourists pay the big share of them at the race tracks, night clubs, restaurants and resorts. Tax receipts from business and industry represent only 10.9 per cent of the entire state tax levy compared with 23 per cent for the nation as a whole. Most of the new-type industries have had to bring in their own skilled labor. But some of the industries found skilled workers who had moved to Florida to retire, and brought them in for part-time duty as draftsmen and the like. There has been little of the SOcalled heavy industry in Florida outside of the paper mills in North Florida and the phosphate mining in Central Florida.

Florida's transportation system isn't as highly geared as some of the northern states and power generating costs have been relatively high due to lack of coal and natural gas. But Fuller said the new-type industries are of such a type that transportation and power costs aren't the big items of consideration. A natural gas pipeline now being built will carry natural gas the length of the peninsula to Miami, and this is expected to give even stronger impetus to the industrial drive. In the new industrial awakening, committees of 100 have been formed in several major cities to assist chambers of commerce and utility companies, and the state development commission has expanded its industrial services section.

H. Strayer, in Canal Point. Gwen Bracewell, new All Is Quiet On Little Rock Racial Front LITTLE ROCK, Oct, 19 (A) -The controversy over integration at Little Rock Central High School here simmered at a low point today. Gov. Orval Faubus, who opposes the federal government in its protection of nine dren at the school with paratroopers and federalized National Guardsmen, was at Fayetteville, for the Arkansas- Texas football game.

At Fayetteville, Faubus repeated earlier statements that he "expected" a special session of the Arkansas Legislature to deal with the problem. Only Faubus can call such a session and he gave no indication when he might do so. Faubus also has said the state might take up a legal fight to have the troops removed, but there re were no developments along that line today. U. S.

District Judge Ronald N. Davies of Fargo, N. Thursday dismissed without hearing a citizen's suit seeking to have the troops ordered out. This action resulted in a protest from Faubus and a demand from the plaintiff's attorney for "impeachment" of Davis. The lawyer also said he would appeal the dismissal order.

Troops were still on duty in the vicinity of the high School today despite the weekend recess. As the fourth week of integration ended yesterday only seven of the Negroes were attending school along with nearly 2,000 White students. The other two Negroes were ill. A spokesman for the absentees said they hoped to be back in class Monday. Clothier James T.

Karam, whose name has been brought into the integration dispute, cancelled plans for a television appearance tomorrow and said he instead would set out his viewpoint in an advertisement in Sunday's Arkansas Democrat. Karam, a friend of Faubus, has been accused by Mayor Woodrow Wilson Mann. as the "principal instigator" of riots outside the school before troops were sent here. Karam has denied the charge land attempting said to Faubus' hit at the enemies governor were through him. given Lawrence as his home town.

Godgart, who described himself as 6 feet, 1 inch tall and weighing 250 pounds, arrived at Dillingham about a week before his employment began officially with the opening of school Sept. 2. As he had requested, his ter. ritorial teaching certificate was awaiting him when he arrived. A spokesman for the department at Anchorage, with direct supervision over Western Alaska schools, said Godgart worked only three or four days out of the total time he was employed.

"He did very well in the classroom on those few days," the spokesman said. However, Godgart left Dillingham without notice for Anchor. age on Sept. 18 or 19, the spokesman said. Arnold Granville, supervisor for the department at Anchorage, met the plane and Godgart signed letter of resignation.

His whereabouts since then were not known to department, Dafoe said, aithough he said it was understood from comments that Godgart planned to mol to Chicago. Efforts to locate the ex-teacher at Anchorage failed. Information Godgart supplied to the department coincided closely with the known career of Demara, who entered the news in 1951. That year he joined the Canadian navy under the name of Dr. Joseph A.

Cyr, and performed several difficult operations in Korean waters before the hoax was discovered. It was learned that earlier Demara had posed in. 1947 as Dr. Robert Linton, a Stanford grad. luate who served two months on the faculty of St.

Martin's College near Olympia, Wash. In 1955, under the name of Benjamin Jones, Demara worked briefly as assistant warden of the Texas state prison at Huntsville. Earlier this year he was arrested at Augusta, Maine, for posing under false pretenses as Martin Daniel Godgart, teacher at North Haven Island school. At that last job, Demara, had earned the respect the town's residents for his work with children, and he had organized a Sea Scout unit. CAP Announces Training Program DAYTONA BEACH, Oct.

Mrs. Rachael Harrington, Bridges Demands Slav Aid Cuts ley. WASHINGTON, Oct. 19 (P) Sen. Bridges (R-NH) demanded today that this government stop all forms of foreign aid to Yugoslavia, because it has formally recognized the Communist govof East Germany.

"For many years my common sense has told me that Tito is a fence "straddler, playing both ends against the Bridges, senior Republican on the Senate Appropriations and Armed Services Committees, said in a statement. "I have sought to put an end to foreign aid for the Tito puppet regime," he said. "Such aid has seemed to me a travesty on sound diplomacy and a waste of the taxpayers' Bridges referred to Marshal Tito, boss of the Communist regime in Yugoslavia. He said the United States had granted nearly billion dollars of military and economic the Tito government, If this amount had been spent on the U.S. satellite and missile programs, Bridges said, it "could well have meant an 'also ran' position for "It is indeed significant, and more than coincidental, that opportunist Tito should make clear his own orbit as a Communist satellite on the heels of the successful launching of the Soviet man-made moon," he said.

Congress has left the decision about aid to Communist Yugoslavia to the President in the past. He was required to find that it served the national interests of this country before continuing such aid. Secretary of State Dulles and other administration spokesmen have called the aid to Tito a calculated risk, worthwhile in the light Yugoslavia's resistance to domination by Moscow. that our oft-quoted policy of it be frankly, admitted culated risk' has not paid off in this particular instance," Bridges said. worthy matron of the Pahokee Chapter, Order of Eastern Star, attended the Friendship Night program of the Clewiston OES Chapter, She was accompanied by Mrs.
