On Labor Issues
WHERE I STAND
BY Harold e. StaSsen
(DnuhLeAaN-20S a. A-&2l

By Bill Schoentgen
In an age Of quasi-literate politi-
clans, Mr.. Stassen, the determined
candidate for Republican presiden-
tial nomination, has tugged at the
bootstraps of his social conscious
ness and raised himself above the
hurly-burly of the vote-getting mob
to the rare level Of fortnight po-
litical thinker who takes as his ken
his own national society.
The former governor Of Mime
sofa attempts no probing into the
intricacies Of foreign policy and
makes no bones about admitting it..
His, thesis is that once a sound. for
ward-looking domestic organization
has been achieved, an equally con-
structive foreign policy may be
worked out from that basis. This is
not to say that the lack of an ex-
preston on foreign policy is not felt
in Mr.. Stassen's book. It is one Of
the shortcomings.
More important, Stassen's lethar-
gic estimate Of foreign policy, his
relegation of it to secondary posi-
tion, his failure even to touch upon
the voluminous subject of foreign
aid, all would seem to indicate a
preference for a kind of tolerant,
elastic nationalism. Whether or not
this is the right time for the emer-
gence of a strong nationalistic phi
losophy in the United States is a
topic which is being subjected to
universal debate. The man from
Minnesota consistently refrains. in
his book, from entering the discus
sion. It is an omission whichs un-
doubtedly will be brought piercingly
to his attention by his more antag-
onistic colleagues.
But it is in the area of labor prob
lens and labor legislation that the
writer is most confident of his
ground. In single monolithic chap
ter he dissects and analyses the
varying status of the United States
labor movement from 1920 to 1947,
and nails down with a hammer of
undeceptive realism its inevitable
relation to the prosperity and sound
ness Of the entire economy.
Stassen offers his theories on la
Dor in the form of the testimony
which he presented before the SEN
ate labor committee in February of
this year, during the period when
congress was preparing the legisla-
ton which ultimatly resulted in the
Taft-Hartley act.
That law, he believes, will be the
foundation for fair, just and we'll
balanced labor policy in America. "
In total, Stassen approves of the
act. Specifically, he is opposed to
three portions of the law as it
stands: ID The provision making it
unlawful for a labor organization to
contribute to election funds; (2) the
Communist affidavit rule; 90
the "ultimatum'' stipulating that ex-
listing union shop contracts cannot
be renewed unless and until an elec-
ton is held and majority Of all
employees votes in the affirmative.
For the rest of his platform, Stas-
sen turns to the issues of taxation
with which he deals from the stand
point of dynamic capital), hous-
ing, survival of small business and
the paucity of medical care and hos
pital facilities. To each of these he
brings an application of the classic
Republican theory of laissez faire
and damns heartily all efforts to
give the federal government greater
J. control in those fields. ,-

the House of Billies, 63-27, yester-

both Jayvees and the Biilies hav-
ing six personal fouls called on
them in the second period. The
last period, however, proved to be
the toughest as both clubs forgot
themselves and the rules and turn
ed the hardwood into almost a
gridiron. There was showing,
pushing, blocking, tripping, and
every trick in the book pulled on
both teams. When the final
whistle blew, the count stood g.
81, but the flame in both teams
eyes caused the spectators to ling
er awhile and see what would hap
pen. Nothing did.
AS for the basketball part of
the encounter, the Jayvees started
off fast and scored 16 markers to
Billies 8 in the first quarter.
At halftime the count was 32-!,
and the Billies outscored the
Junior Varsity IA to eight in the
third stanza to up the count to 40

rack up only six.
Leading the Jayvees' attack
was e forward Pat Harring-

field goals for IA points and Lin

were Linwood Grissom, who tossed
II markers through the hoop, and
