REUTHER WILL RECEIVE AWARD
President Walter P. Reuther will be awarded the annual Clendenin Award for Distinguished Service to Labor's Rights by the Workers Defense League, the Hon. Harold L. Ickes has announced. Ickes will preside over a testimonial dinner in New York, December 16, when Reuther will be presented with the award.
"As a leader of labor, of liberalism and of social and economic justice," Ickes declared, "Walter Reuther richly deserves this honor. He has fought intolerance, bigotry and injustice wherever they have appeared."
The Clendenin Award has been presented in past years to a distinguished group of American liberals, including Senator Frank Graham, former Senator Robert La Follette, President H. L. Mitchell of the National Farm Labor Union, and President A. Philip Randolph of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters.
