The four-hour session at Local 600 headquarters went off without the jeering and booing that broke up a similar meeting last week. SOME 50 MEMBERS of the Local's "Flying Squadron" pa- trolled the lobby and auditorium! to keep out the hecklers. The election resulted in a complete victory for the local's right-wing element.

This faction succeeded in rap- turing all II places on the trial committee.

Maximum penalty will be removal from office. If found guilty, the defendants will be allowed to retain their UAW membership and continue their jobs at the plant.

The trial will mark the first time in UAW history that a local will attempt to throw a man out of office because of Communist ties. Stellato is the power behind the drive. Stellato has pledged to cleanse his organization of its alleged Red taint. Gabardine larceny Sunday. Erwin Bennett, 18, of 150 W.
