MOT SO LONG AGO, this spring to be
L more specific, Pres d ent Walter
Reuther delivered a dinner address to a
great Cleveland audience declaring that a
great many of our workers find them
selves in the peculiar position of being
too young to die, but to old to work"
President Reuther brought this point home
to emphasize the almost desperate need
for greater social security and pension
benefits that the UAW-CIO is fighting for
AS usual, most of the great news
papers" of the land dismissed this point
as mere union propaganda" None of
them had the courage to admit the tragic
truth of President Reuthers statement.
Now, however, even The Blade admits
that this is not union propaganda" Now
they admit, basing their admission on
recently conducted government survey,
that what President Reuther said was only
too true.
Writing under a Washington dateline.
Mr. George F. jerks, The Blades Wash
ington correspondent, reports that "a late
winter survey of employment in Toledo
showed that men and women who have
passed their 45th birth d ~ are being
shouldered aside by youth in their search
for jobs. The survey points out that in
Toledo "43 per cent of listed job openings
are restricted to those under As years of
age"
According to this same survey, some
what similar situations prevail in Dallas,
Denver, Rochester and Portland, Ore.
So, there you have it. Are you As years
old and out Of a job? If so, it's just too
bad because there is no job for you No,
we take that back. You might get job as
dishwasher or something similar in the
so-called Service trades" Why, you might
even become a waiter in some hot dog

Acc Act Not Just
Personnel, Should
Be Investigated
By BRADFORD v. CARTER. LPA Columnist


MANY trade unionists are disturbed by the
ANA sweeping C h arges of mismanagement
lodged against the Atomic Energy Commission
and its chairman, David Lilienthal, by Sen.
ourke Hckenlooper (R., Iowa).
Lilienthal, formerly head of iva, won the
friendship of American labor in that job by
the intelligence and integrity with which he
guided TWAS development and by the genu-
inely democratic manner in which he admins
tered the authority's labor relations.
The success of IVA made Lilienthal enc
mics as well as friends Power company heads
and bigoted politicians have on several occa-
sions tried to label him red" and have even
whispered anti-semitic insults about shim in
Congressional lobbies.
When the atomic energy act was being de-
bated in Congress two issues were spotlighted:
civilian versus military control and the extent
to which the government would direct the
operation of atomic energy plants and expert
ments.
Labor and liberal forces scored notable
victory for civilian control A few conserva-
tive senators like Hickenlooper and Vanden-
berg lined up with labor on the issue.
Clearly some sort of compromise between
the advocates of private development of the
new power source was required. The bill that
finally emerged may have erred in the direc-
tion of giving excessive scope to private cor
porations within the set-up

the wonderful Taft Hartley Act is beneficial to him.
Let's get into few examples of how the law helps the
worker and keeps the labor leaders in his place. according
to the newspapers First the law states: Sec T. Employees

tional Rivers and Harbors
Congress-one of Washington's
biggest lobbies. Also among
the officers of that group are
two Senators and another
Congressman.
What's got them all started
up-the contractors, the army
officer, the Congressman?
Answers simple. They're all
fighting river valley authori-
ties planned along IVA lines.
Projects have been blueprint
ed for both the Missouri and
Columbia Rivers, with further
thought to old man Mississippi
itself.
But to a lot of vested inter-
ests which like to ignore the
many good things accomplish
ed, iva is just socialism"
And the lobbies are fighting
the IVA idea hammer and
tong.
Congress moved step rec
emily toward giving residents
in the nations capital a crack
at home rule for themselves.
Washington is now governed
by "outside interests" from
Congress; citizens of the capi-
tai can't even vote for dog
catcher
But Senate in surprise move
decided to give Washington
ians a crack at home rule-by
permitting them to elect 10
out of IL city council MEM
bers, and all members of
School Board. Legislation
would originate in the coun-
Gil, be subject to veto power
by Congress and the Presi-
dent.
Bill still has to pass the
House, where going looks
rough. If it does pass, measure
would be first recommended
by Presidents Committee on
Civil Rights to go through
Congress.
Washington got some sharp
criticism from one of its most
prominent citizens Professor
Ralphe Bunche, the distin-
guished Negro political sci
ence professor who mediated
the Israeli-Egyptian dispute
for the United Nations.
Now in a high post at the
UN, Bunche was offered post
as assistant secretary of state
for mid-eastern affairs.
But Bunche turned down
the job - largely because he
didn't want to subject himself
and his kids to the Jim Crow
discrimination of the capital
city.
So the government lost an
able public servant.

Graduation Day

TUNE OF EACH YEAR Is, n e e q
J memorable month 1t is exciting IN
the lives of hundreds of thousands of our
Young people, who, after so many years
= frequently filled with hardships and
oven heartaches - find themselves on the
threshold of a new life. Graduation day
has finally arrived. And they are ready
TO 20 out into the world to put to practical
test the knowledge they have acquired
through their years of study in the class
rooms of our high schools, colleges and
universities
1t is proud day for these young men
and women.
It is a proud day for their parents who,
in most instances, skimped, saved and
sacrificed to see their children proudly
march down the aisle on Commencement
Day.
Altogether some 100000 young men
and women will graduate from our col
leges and universities this month And the
number of high school graduates number
upwards of 100000. In both instances the
number of graduates are the highest in
the history of our country.
PRACTICALLY ALL of the 100000
college and university graduates will seek
employment in their chosen professions.
About one-half of the high school gradu-
ates will do likewise while the other half
will continue their education in our col
eges and universities.
The only dark cloud on the horizon is
the undeniable fact that many of them
will not be able to get jobs. Certainly not
the kind of jobs that they were trained
for. According to a number of surveys
already made, the job opportunities this
year for these young men and women
fall far below that of past years. We are
told that a great many fields for which
these youngsters train ed are already
overcrowded. There will be no jobs for
them. They will have to seek employment
elsewhere to maintain themselves.
And a good many of them will be
added to the ranks of those already unem-
ployed, presently numbering over three
million workers.
BUT WHATEVER FATE holds in store
for these youngsters, we sincerely hope
that they will not despair. For if they are
denied employment; if they are prevented
from pursuing their C h o n professions
amidst the hard realities of life, they must
remember that that is but the result Of
weakness and inefficiency in the structure
of our civilization. There is, we contend,
plenty to do for everyone We simply have
to adjust ourselves our society to be able
to make use of these youngsters whom
we have trained in our many educational
institutions.
And the best way to accomplish that
aim is for these youngsters themselves to
plunge into the very heart of the mani
fold activities of our people - political
as we'll as economic and so raise the
level of our civilization to still higher
levels.

poration of America, and Mu-
tual--in which Colonel Bertie
Mccormick of Chicago Tri-
bune holds a major interest

AT FEC hearings, CIO ar
gued against naturalization
by station owners - on just
these grounds: that stations
are linked with or dominated
by big business, will serve to
carry on further monopoliza-
ton of opinion ch n n e l S
throughout the country.
Radio stations have been
warned by FEC, however,
that they can't concentrate on
their own viewpoints alone,
but must give expression to
well-rounded presentation of
all viewpoints in the COM
munity.
That's important to remem-
ber--for in many industrial
cities and towns, particularly
where unions are struggling
through first rounds of or
ganization and recognition,
FEC ruling may pave way for
waves of hostile propaganda.
If unions find their own
views choked off air, while
stations barrage them with
hostile propaganda, don't hesi-

will have to be its own police

Senate was preparing to
debate Taft Hartley repeal
starting June g. and credit
for preventing stalling goes
directly to CIO President
Philip Murray.
Issue was being debated
among Senate leaders whether
to take up TIL repeal, or to
embark on inevitable long dis
cussion on ratification of At
lantic Pact and other matters.
At that point, Murray re-
leased strongly worded letter
to leaders of the Senate and
House. His point: Act on Taft
Hartley now. Senate leaders
got the point, After confer
ences, decided to move on TIL
repeal.
Murray said "there is little
justification in demands for
July 81 adjournment, which
have come from some Con-
gressmen more concerned
with obstructing legislation
than in acting for the public
interest"
Citing a long drift toward
Congressional inaction" Muir
ray said flatly: it can be
abruptly halted by tn e
Democratic leadership of the
House and Senate"
Letter seems to have done
the trick.
Radio throughout United
States is going to be under
close observation during COM
ing months as result of new
u. S. ruling that station own
ers may broadcast their own
views.
Under old policy of Federal
Com m u n cations Commits
sion-contained in l94l May
flower" case decision-FCC
maintained that holders of
broadcasting licenses had now
privilege to air their own
opinions, but should make air
waves available to all possible
viewpoints.
Many station owners are
more interested making a
buck from a flock of singing
commercials than in expressing
their own views-if any-on
matters of Importance.
But students of radio fear
that with station owners now
holding right to editorialize
they'll move increasingly to
broadcast their viewpoints.
That may have effect on
broadcasting of news from
non-partisan angle if station
owners get to take themselves
too seriously.
