On the Other Hand
While We Are Trying to Decide
Whether to Make the He'll Bomb

nor anybody else. This is in line
with the Presidents recognized
disposition not to duck the deci-
sions that rest in his Office. 1t
sometimes is forgotten that it was
he who had to give the word that
the two japanese cities should be
destroyed.
AS for the part that Congress
must take, all that Senator Bricker
says is true. No member of the
law and policy-making body can
escape a share in the decision soon
to be made. They all are con-
fronted by a moral obligation
virtually without precedent. They
must speak for their own con-
sciences and the conscience of
America. 1t is not certain even
that they can properly refer the
question back to the American
people, by poll or by election. II
it were solely a moral problem
that would be possible or even i'm
perative. But the problem has
also it's practical aspect, concern
ing which the people have not and
cannot have the necessary in
formation. The practical aspect
is that we are faced or believe we
are faced by an enemy nation
capable Of doing what we dread
to do.
Beginning of Wisdom.
The crux of our problem is our
relationship with that other ma
ton. ALI through history enmities
have developed between nations
and wars have resulted. In our
time, however. greater thought
and effort have been given than
ever before to altering the course
of history in this respect. The
fruit Of all our efforts seems only
to be a situation in which civili-
zation itself is threatened.
Somewhere along the line since
the end of the First World War
"the war to emo war;" we seem to
have slipped. Somewhere the
worlds statesmen, including oul
own, were guilty of error. If we
could retrace our steps and ad-
NIT and somehow correct our
error, 1t might be that we really
could change, the present disas-
trous course Of history.
"We" is used here to mean the
people of all lands. but, for oul
own part as Americans, we car
only review our own errors, if any
and admit them. A starting point
might be our first Intervention
80 years ago, in Russia's civil war
Many agree that that was the be.
ginning of the present impasse
between the worlds two great
powers. Humility is the beginning
of wisdom. II we cannot admit
that we ever have been wrong OF
conceive that we ever will be
wrong, Of course. we cannot con.
tribute much toward checking tn.

Yugoslav presidium. Mr.. Allen
was quoted as saying. United
States policy is based on the
strictest non-interference in the
internal affairs of Yugoslavia just
as it Is with regard to all other
countries"
Which Is the Policy?
On the same day Secretary
Acheson's letter to Senator Con-
nally, in which he recommended
the return Of Ambassadors to
Spain. was finally published in
full in Madrid. In this letter, Mr.
Acheson said that sending an
Ambassador to Madrid would In
no sense signify approval of the
regime In Spain and that the
United States was continuing to
persuade the Spanish government
to take steps toward democratic
government (which offers the best
hope for the growth of basic hui
man rights and fundamental free
doms in Spain"
Now, which is the policy? Is ii
American respect for "the sover-
Il ign equality and "strictest non
interference" or is it efforts tc
persuade" other states toward
democratic government and basic
human rights?"
Nobody can pretend that there
are any more "basic human
rights" or fundamental free
doms" in Yugoslavia than there
are In Spain. I should say that
the Spanish regime was less to-
talitarian and farther from one
man rule than the Yugoslav: that
there was more intellectual free
dom in Madrid than in Belgrade:
and that Spanish courts are more

New York Paper

New York (LPA)-The strike of
the Newspaper Guild at the World
Telegram & Sun entered its second
month with management still re-
fusing to bulge, although negotia-
tions, with federal mediators pre-
sent, continued. Meanwhile, with
the members of the mechanical
unions continuing to observe the
picket line, the newspaper has not
been able to publish.
Members of other unions in other
cities are keenly interested in
learning more about the union sol
idarity and inquiries from uni0hs
in Washington, Cleveland, St
Louis, Detroit. and Boston.
The Guild, pointing out that
management has refused to accept
any other newspaper contract IN
town from cover to cover, also
nailed the rumor that management
had offered major concessions and
that the Guild has turned them
down and made, several new de-
mands. Although the Guilds pro
posals were made in March, and

Cincinnati Votes
FEPC Despite
Indusfry's Stand

Cincinnati (LPA)-City Council
has voted 6 to to create a Full
employment Commission over the
objections of business men that
such a commission "would scare in
dustry away"
The commission will "give spec
ial attention to stabilization OF
employment, maximum use of the
local labor force and problems OF
discrimination or restrictions OF
employment by reason of age, sex
or race"
The move was fought by the
Chamber of Commerce, the Area
Industrial Development Council
and the Republican members OF
city council. Councilman Theodore
NJ. Berry, who sponsored the reso-
luton, said the measure is in keep
ing with the national and state
trend for local communities tc
tackle their problems of unemploy-
ment. "This is a problem for the
entire community and not the
limited consideration of industry
he said. He listed prejudice and
employment insecurity as society's
two greatest problems and said
that "this' Commission should come
to grips with these problems"

Coffee Prices Go

Sits On Report

Wa S shington LPA)-Coffee
prices climbed another two cents a
pound while the Senate agriculture
committee sat on a report of an
investigation of previous coffee
price rises.
The report, prepared by Sen
Guy Gillette's subcommittee or
utilization of farm crops after ex-
tensive hearings several months
ago, has not yet been issued. OBJ.
servers close to the situation be
lieve if it had been issued the price
would not have jumped again.
On July II an executive session
of the Agriculture committee was
scheduled, presumably to authorize
the coffee report, but there was nc
quorum and the meeting was call
ed of. '"7t
Late in June, Edward Miller, Jr.
assistant secretary of State fol
Latin-American affairs, asked the
committee to soft-pedal its recon-
mendations for protective measure:
against. coffee price rises. He ap
peared at the request of IA bie
American coffee operators.

Coffee companies raising theil
prices for the fourth time included
Hills Bros, Folger Bros, Ole
Judge, NIB, White Rose, Partor

are expected to get in line. Mean

University Making
Study For Union
On Racial Basis

Nashville, Tenn. (LPA)-A
union concerned with the problems
of minority groups in its ranks
called in a university for technical
advice. That was 18 months ago.
So far, a survey and report has
been made on the Kansas City area,
and students from four colleges
are now making rank and file sur
veys in AtlaEta and Ft. Worth,
Tex.
The union is the United Packing
House Workers, and the university
is Fisk. The study directed by its
race relations department in Kan
sas City has brought establishment
of five leadership training classes
Involving IL locals. Committees
have been set up in the locals to
examine plant practices and to re-
port specific discrimination in
stances, to be handled through the
grievance machinery in the con-
tracts!
A third of the unions member
ship comprises Negroes and Amer
leans of Mexican origin. The union
asked the study as a means of unit
ing it's workers regardless of
craft, age, sex, nationality, race,
color, creed, or political beliefs
consistent with democratic prac-
tees"
The study deals with minority
grouv practices as reported by OF
ficials of UPWA locals throughout
the country and also specific pro-
blems as they are found in typical
cities within the unions jurisdic-
ton. The project is believed to be
one of the first such moves IN the
country.

The manager of The Florida
Fruit and Vegetable Growers, La
Monte Graw, said that $40 percent
of the migratory workers in Flor
ida create their own problems and
the problems you are trying to
settle; 60 percent are willing and
able workers and the other 40 per-
cent feel no responsibility toward
their employer, themselves or even
their families" He noted that the
commission seemed to assume that
farm owners had a lot of control
over the migrants. "We don't, he
said. "That 40 percent just work
when they want to and loaf when
they feel like it,. He told the Com
mission there was no point in en-
acting social security benefits. Sal
most all the workers would evade
paying on any plan for them. He
said the only reason Florida farm
ers use foreign labor is because
"that 40 percent can't be relied
upon. In answer to a question
from the Commission, Graw said
he knew of no constructive things
that could be done to improve con-
ditions for migratory workers. One
of the Commission suggested that
maybe we (society) have produced
the 40 percent you talk of. If we
manufactured so percent that are
dependable and hardworking, may.
be we can manufacture the other
40 percent through improved con-
ditions". Graw replied, "You cant
make over human nature in few
minutes. You can't instill human
itarian instincts over night"
The commission also heard the
views of National Council on Agri-
cultural Life and Labor, the Inter
national Typographical Union, Bro
therhood of Sleeping Car Porters
American Parents Committee, So
cial Action Department of Nation
al Catholic Welfare, American
Farm Bureau Federation, Nation

Senate Group To
Probe Bargaining
Tactics OF AT&T

Washington (LPA)-The Senate
Labor Committees Subcommittee
on Labor Management Relations IS
embarking on program that VIII
include surveys of labor relations
in the south, bargaining in the tele-
phone industry and perhaps labor
espionage, 1850 style.
First off, the group will continue
it's probe of why collective bargain
ing breaks down in the southern
textile industry. Investigation of
the violence and other aspects of
the Enka strike in Tennessee was
the first phase of this inquiry, il
was learned. During the next two
months the committee will investi-
gate coercion and the use of state
court injunctions in number of
Georgia and Carolina cases. The
committee also will try to deter
mine whether the southern econ
omy is affected by the failure of
collective bargaining in the area.
The committees survey of the
telephone industry will deal with
the situation which confronts the
Communications Workers of Am
erica. A CWA spokesman says the
industry plays "shell game. The
Bell System, controlled by the
giant American Telephone & Tele-
graph Co., always insists that ne
gotiations must be conducted by
subsidiary companies. The subsid-
iaries, however, take their signals
from the AT g. 7, the union CON
tends. The Senate group will try
to get to the bottom of the situa-
ton.
The committee is also expected
to look into the labor espionage
practiced last year by the Cities
Service Oil Co. against the Seafar-
ers international Union-AFL. At
an NLRB hearing recently it was
revealed that the company en-
ployed at least two spies to report
on union activities aboard its To-
ship tanker fleet. This inquiry may
lead to a general investigation of
labor espionage.

Bill Would Bdr PdY-Off By
Lobbyists To Congressman

washington (LPA)-There was
a time, recalls, Rep. Eugene O'Sul-
livan Cd, Nebr.), when lobbyists
influenced lawmakers with wine,
women, and occasional song. Now
they pay the legislators to write
grade-school prose, engaging leg
islators to scab upon the writers"
who are trying to earn an honest
living. And O'Sullivan thinks there
ought to be law against this prac-
tice.
So, he has introduced a bill
which would make it unlawful,
among other things, for members
of Congress, their employees and
relatives, to accept more than ac-
tual travelling and hotel expenses
for delivering speeches, or to accept
pay for writing articles, for two
years after they leave Congress.
81 have observed of late" O'Sul-
|liyan said, "that lobbyists have
made tremendous efforts recently
to have people who do their bidding
receive their pay-off-so to speak
for services we'll rendered by
writing articles, making speeches,
and indulging in comments so that
they could be paid handsomely for
their unnecessary services, in lieu
of making an attempt to bribe the
individuals directly"
Many such paid speeches and
articles, the Congressman observ-
ed, "were not worth a red cent as
far as literary effort was con-
cemed." His observations were
made within a day after the reve-
lation that Sen. Joe Mccarthy (R,
Wis., received $4,000 from the
Lustron Housing Corporation for
an article at time when he was
vice-chairman of a Joint Congress
ional Committee on Housing, Nc
Carthy's committee was working
over housing legislation of vital
concern to Lustron, which lost
$8412 on the Mccarthy pamphlet.
O'Sullivan also put into his bill
a prohibition of abuse of the pri-
vilege of free mail by members of
Congress. He recalled to his col
leagues how Congressman had
loaned their frank" for free mail
for millions of copies of speeches
and other propaganda for the Com
mittee for Constitutional Govern
ment, regarded generally as the
leading anti-labor lobby.

Chemical Workers Send
40 Officers To School

New Brunswick, N. j. (LPA)-
Forty officers of chemical unions
east of the Mississippi are going
to college this week. The occasion
is the first Eastern Summer School
of the AFL International Chemical
Workers at Rutgers University.
The one-week course, designed to
develop leadership training, is de-
voted to administrative problems
of the chemical unions. The ses-
sions include classes on collective
bargaining, pensions and welfare
plans, and union publicity. The
students" hear nightly addresses
on national issues affecting their
welfare by leaders in the field of
education and labor.
A similar school for chemical
union officers west of the Missis-
sippi will convene at the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin July 1929.

Wins Compensation For Silicosis

Boston LPA)-Harry McKeoni
63, worked 43 years for the Glen
wood Range Co. at Taunton and
contracted silicosis. Judge Harold
P. Williams, of the State Supreme
Judicial Court, has ruled he is en-
titled to workmen's compensation
benefits, estimated at $4,000. Judge
Williams ruled that when accumu-
lation in the body of harmful for
eign matter becomes so great that
it results in incapacity for work
the injury becomes compensable."

Teamsters Blame
Commission For
Truck Accidents

Washington (LPA)-The accld-
ent rate in the interstate trucking
business is on the upgrade and the
Interstate Commerce Commission
is to blame. Frank Tobin, research
director of the International Bro
therhood of Teamsters-AFL, so de-
clared before a subcommittee OF
the Senate Interstate Commerce
Committee.
Appearing July 13, Tobin charg-
ed the ices Motor Carriers Bur-
eau failed to act on the recommen-
dations of a trial examiner who
urged restrictions on the industry's
leasing practices by which gypsy"
trucks, impossible to regulate, do
large part of the interstate bust
ness.
The examiner held hearings i'll
late 1913 and early 1949, Tobin told
Sen. Bricker (R, Ohio), and issued
his report in August 1949. How
ever, the ices Division 5 took no
notice of the report until July 5
this year when it wrote a simple
ticket for the carriers to continue
precisely the practices which have
flourished."
The gypsy practice works TIM
way, Tobin explained. Chances are
a man in the trucking business
owns no trucks of his own, al
though he's a "certificated carrier"
What he does is find shoestring
operators who own equipment for
which they're paying on time.
These operators, who may be en-
gagged through filling station or
ginmill owner serving as a "brok-
err, are hired on a single tip basis
for a percentage. There's no way
to police these trucks, Tobin said.
Safety regulations just go by the
board.
The trial examiner recommend
ed that trucks be leased for not
less than 30-day periods, which
would permit safety regulations
to be enforced, Tobin declared, but
the ICES Division 5 ignored the
suggestion.
