...largest craftsmen's union in the world. Maurice, as quiet and dutiful as his father was bombastic and domineering, rarely had anything to say. In the executive council of the A.F.L.C.I.O., where Maurice still ranks as a national vice president, he often sat through four-hour sessions without opening his mouth, soon became known as "Maurice the Silent." In the subsidized biography of Big Bill Hutcheson (for which the union, if not its rank-and-file members, cheerfully paid $310,000), Author Maxwell Raddock described Maurice: "He seems to possess all the qualities of a leader; he is tall...
...bribing a state official and making a fast $81,000 in land sales for a scandal-scarred Indiana highways project. (They later turned the money over to the state.) When a Senate committee pressed him for the details, Maurice was as untalkative as ever: he ducked 18 questions without bothering to invoke the Fifth Amendment. Last May, Hutcheson was fined $500 and sentenced to six months in jail for contempt of Congress. Last week, his troubles multiplying like wood shavings, Maurice and Carpenters' Vice President O. William Blaier were sentenced to 2 to 14 years, fined $250, and stripped...
...Late last month, when the first Viscount Stansgate finally died at 83, Tony Wedgwood Benn found himself in limbo. The very day the old viscount breathed his last, the Commons cut off his now titled son's pay; all the young Benns, including four small children, were left without means of support.

Nobody listened when the hapless peer insisted that everyone keep calling him just plain Mr. Anthony Wedgwood Benn. When he applied for the usual M.P.'s railroad pass to visit...
Only 35 miles from Manila, the Philippine barrio (village) of Santo Nino is a town out of the Middle Ages-without plumbing, electricity or medicine. One cause of Santo Nino's squalor is its isolation; for centuries its only access to the outside world has been a winding trail over which common folk move on foot, the more prosperous on donkey back. Last week, sweating under the tropical sun, 200 half-naked men and boys from Santo Nino were hacking out a broad, five-mile highway to take out the village's production of timber, copra and rice...
...followed, two of the husbands got 20 years, the other 30. To forestall plotting, the men were sent to widely separated prisons. Two of the sisters themselves were imprisoned briefly, then allowed to return to their family home near Salcedo, 70 miles northwest of Ciudad Trujillo. Two months ago, without explanation, all three husbands were moved to a prison near Salcedo. There, after a tantalizing delay, the wives were granted permission to make a joint visit a fortnight ago. The sisters' cars had been confiscated; gratefully they accepted a stranger's offer to ride to the prison...
