Costs of q 'SnoN Strike

1t was only small strike, as such things go,
but it was costly one for national defense,
nevertheless. A few hundred workers won a few
more cents an hour which they probably could
have gotten without striking-for the big issue
was union shop. This ISSUE after IA weeks of
plant ideness, finally was compromised to the
satisfaction of union and management
The STRIKE called last May by the CIO United
Automobile Workers against the Allis Chalmers
Company, was costly to the Nation because it not
only halted manufacture of vital parts for jet
planes at critical time but interrupted compile
tion of $t0-millior plant which is needed to
speed up jet plane production. 1t is impossible
to estimate accurately the damage done to the
Air Force by the shutdown of the Terre Haute
plant just as efforts were being made to expedite
the build-up of American air strength to cope
with Red aggression.
1t is ridiculous to contend that the settle
ment eventually agreed upon by the UAW and
the company could not have been arrived at
without the ong-drawn-out bitter and disgrace
full strike which occurred in this labor contro-
versy. The only real winner Of the strike was
not party to it, namely, the enemy which our
airmen face in Korea.

Miss Trumon's Protectors

There seems to be difference of opinion
as to whether Margaret Trumans bodyguard
roughed up some newspapermen or acted rudely
to others during Miss Trumans visit to Sweden.
A White House spokesman said preliminary
reports indicated that there was mot one word
OF truth" IN press reports of several unpleasant
incidents at Stockholm. But whether or not
there were incidents, the sad fact remains that
the presence of Miss Truman'S trio of Secret
Service protectors" in friendly country has
tended to nullify the good will which her visit
otherwise would have been expected to create.
1t is true that the Secret Service is required
by law to protect members of the Presidents
family at all times But it is hard for Swedes
to understand why an American girl on holiday
even the Presidents daughter-should need
armed guards when she is accepting Swedish
hospitality. Miss Truman probably wonders
about this herself. If, after more thorough
investigation, there proves to be any substance
to the charges in Swedish newspapers, appropriate
apologies to the Swedish press and people would
be in order. And in any event, the Secret Service
ought to make sure that it's work is done less
extensively than evidently was the case in
Stockholm.

It is difficult to predict how COPY

them undoubtedly will choose Steven

turnout was just 36 per cent ana that Montgom-
cry Countys record was SO per cent. These per-
centages were in contrast to what President Tru-
man has called the Shameful" national record
Of 81 per cent. However, they do not take into
account q considerable sprinkling Of residents
who vote elsewhere.
Efforts Of public officials and of partisan
and bipartisan groups to stimulate interest
in registering for the coming elections need to be
pushed relentlessly between now and the regis
tration deadline Of October 4. (Both Virginia and
Maryland require registration at least 80 days
prior to the election) A lot of work must be done
in the short time remaining, especially in Vir-
ginia. judging by these latest registration ratios
Arlington, 43 per cent; Fairfax A per cent; Alex
andria, so per cent; Prince Georges, Sc per cent
and Montgomery 10 per cent. And registration
is not enough. Unless most of the registered
voters actually cast their ballots on November 4
there is small hope of bettering the Metropolitan

two great political parties nominated
candidates for the presidency. Probably
not more than per cent of the dele
gates who rode the Eisenhower and Ste
venson bandwagons to victory ever heard
OF copy readers. If they had. they might
have changed their votes out Of sheer
Christian charity.
Not that there is anything wrong with
either candidates qualifications. It is
just that fitting the name Eisenhower
or possibly Stevenson-into top headlines
for the next four years is going to be
an unenviable chore.
The copy reader is the anonymous
character who writes these headlines.
Authors think in terms of chapters: re-
porters and other sundry hacks think
in terms Of paragraphs, sentences and
words. But the hapless copy reader is
forced by the exigencies of his craft to
think In terms of letters.
What is more. the copy readers avail
able space in newspaper is far less
flexible than that Of the reporter. Some
Evening star., 1952-08-21

one tells the reporter to write 200 words
but who counts? So he writes 200; they
all get in the paper But the copy reader
has, say, 1512 units in q headline. All his
piety or wit will not make the headline
go in the paper If 1t counts 16 units. He
sends it to the composing room, breath
ing prayer as it goes its way Within
three minutes it is back, bearing blue
pencil mark showing exactly how much
too long 1t is. And the copy reader
reaches for his pencil with one hand and
the aspirin bottle with the other to have
another go at it.
Now, when you get name like Eisen-
hover, there isn't much else that will
lit in the same line with it in big type
unless the head is more than one
column wide. Even Eisenhower Gets"

Poor Citizenship Record

It is hard for voteless Washingtonians to

Letters to The Star.

1stic OF labor unionisrn, q correspondent
IN The Star Of August IL lists a number
OF alleged benefits which unions have
brought to practically every person,
whether he works for the Government
or in industry, and whether he belongs
to union or not.
The aim is to show that any worker
who receives these alleged benefits but
Is not union member, is getting a
free ride: and that he should be
compelled (by the CLOSED union shop)
to join union.
The fallacy of this reasoning lies
in the presumption that unions benefit
all workers or have earned the right to
speak for all of them. Many workers
do not believe that unions benefit them
or that they serve the public interest.
In the long list Of alleged benfits your
correspondent has cited in his effort to
show what unions have done for work.
ing people, there is not one that cannot
be seriously questioned. In general, his
alleged benefits are not benefits at ali or
labor unions did not produce them
There is neither space nor need to con-
slider more than two examples. u) The
claim that but for the efforts Of the
unions there probably would tie no
civil service" is an exaggeration to the
point of absurdity. The civil service was
established in 1883-long before unions
became an important factor in Govern
ment policy-as the result of popular
reaction against patronage and the
spoils system. Unions had little or
nothing to do with the matter. Example
2: "She can thank labor unions for
whatever good wages she is being paid"
This is partly true if only the rate per
hour is considered: but completely un-
true with regard to purchasing power
or real wages"-which are much more
important. High wages can be paid out
of only two sources-increased produc-
tion or imitation. Higher real wages lie.
higher purchasing power) can come only
from higher production. Strikes. feather
bedding, stand-ins and restrictions do
not produce more goods and services, or
a higher standard of living. They do
help to produce imitation.

Mr.. Walker has overlooked the fact

I don't mean to indicate that unions
don't have their good qualities, but I
don't believe that free America intended
that any American should be forced to
pay for the privilege of working to sup
port himself or his family. If so, then
he cannot claim or say that he is a

have done world of good, hut surely
they cannot be set up as little gods for
