Ohio in 1850.
The Senator won trium-
phantly. Now, in effect, he sees
a once-laid ghost grinning at
him from pinnacle in the cabi-
net OF the first Republican ad-
mlnistration in 20 years.
Considering all the circum-
stances, the Senator's pertur-
baton is understandable as a
simple matter of human reac-
ton
The Labor post was the one,
above all others, in which Sena-
tor Taft could logically feel that
he had what might be called
"squatter rights" because of his
legislative experience in that
field and his acknowledged lead
ershlp there. He had accepted
amiably all other cabinet ap-
polntments, though his personal
wishes were recognized in only
one case. that of Ezra Taft Ben
son of Utah, a preconvention
Taft adherent, as Secretary of
Agriculture.
When he was denied influence
in selection of Secretary of Labor
1t was too much. For that post
he had recommended two men,
former Senator John A. Dana
her of Connecticut and Clarence
E. Manion, dean of Notre Dame
University Law School, both
Republicans, neither from the
ranks of organized labor, though
ex-senator Danaher has repre-
sented labor clients and has
had a family connection in his
father, labor union leader.
A bit of background on Sem
ator Taft helps to illuminate
further his chagrin over being
overlooked in this field of gov
ernment which he considers Pc
culiarly his own preserve, in a
manner of speaking. In the 80th
Republican Congress he chose to
take the Craftsmanship of the
Senate Labor and Public We'll

Eisenhower. Dulles and Lodge
are of one mind that the United
Nations must be salvaged.
Congress. which often has
been critical of the United Ma
tions, believes in an interna-
tional organization for preserv-
ing peace. The Senators and
Representatives who have been
denounced frequently as "iso-
lationists" directed their criti-
cism at the methods of that
world peace organization and
not at it's original purposes.
And they have been proved right
when they denounced the weak
nesseS of the United Nations,
which all spring from Russia'S
sabotage rather than its organic
structure.
The policy makers who will
take over next January 20 know
that only a thorough revamp-
ing of the U. N. with the exclu-
sion from it's ranks of the sabo-
teurs-the Red bloc-can save
it from disaster.

Russians and their satellites.
The recent plan for a cease
fire in Korea presented by the
Indian government received the
overwhelming approval of all
Western and neutral members.
The plan also had been ap-
proved by the Peiping Com
munist regime which is sup
posed to be directly interested
in the Korean war since it is
heavily involved. Yet it was
sufficient for Andrei Vishinsky
to reject the Indian proposal to
shatter all hopes for an ar
mistice. -
All the same the armistice
resolution was presented in the
United Nations as a matter of
record. There are still some
Western diplomats who believe
in the policy of "mobilizing"
world public opinion to show
up the Muscovites as war;
mongers. Past and present ex-
periences prove that such
move is as effective as 1ecturing
an unbroken puppy on good be-
havior and cleanliness.
The Muscovites regard the
United Nations as a useful
cover-up organization for their
world-connuest aims. They al
ready have succeeded in break
ing it UP into three groups and
hope that in the near future
they will be able to dominate

law that made collective bar
gaining compulsory on both
management and labor. History
might repeat itself-it may be
that labor and management can
do the same thing now.
Plainly the presence of a
trade-union man in the cabinet
makes possible an effective
leadership by the new admins
tration which could take the
Taft-Hartley issue out of poll
tics altogether, and that will be
important in the congressional
elections of 1854.
The many comments from
CIO as we'll as AF'L leaders who
applaud the selection of Mr..
Durkin indicate that Gen.
Eisenhower has taken a long
step forward to promote har-
mony on the labor management
front. To have appointed some
one with a distinctly anti-labor
background would have ushered
in a climate in which strikes
and work stoppages and grievous
friction between labor and
management might have pre-
vailed.
Senator Taft may really be
more upset about the fact that
some of his other recommended
tions for cabinet appointments
were not accepted, and it was
a bit easier to find fault with
the naming of a Democrat and a
trade unionist for the Depart
ment of Labor. In that area of
public affairs, Mr.. Taft has
taken a firm position, and the
chances are that he need not
worry too much about Mr.. Dur
kin's possible influence in Con-
gresS because, when it comes to
amending the Taft-Hartley Act,
a majority of both houses will
stand solidly against a one
sided law.
There is a chance now for
negotiating amendments and
making a law satisfactory to
both sides if the trade unions
really want that kind of setup,
and this remains to be seen.
Mr.. Durkin is the man who Is
really on the spot.

the most important place, which
also was open to him.
He picked the Labor Com
mittee for two reasons, first,
because he wanted to direct a
revision of the Wagner Act of
the Roosevelt New Deal; second,
because he thought his party
should present a moderate So
cial welfare program, which also
was the jurisdiction of that
committee. He won national
attention through the Taft
Hartley Act. He has come to
see the need for it's revision
and has initiated a series of
amendments.
Now, instead of having full
say on that matter, as he had
expected to have in a Republic
can administration, he must con-
front in the executive branch,
and across the table, a man who
represents a different viewpoint,
at least officially in his capacity
as labor union representative.
That creates an embarrassment
he had not anticipated. His
power has been circumscribed,
that is. to the extent that he
will be challenged from within
a Republican administration.
What will be the ultimate sig
niflcance of this first skirmish
between the new President and
the Republican leader in the
Senate, his one-time rival for
the nomination. remains to be
seen. It is typical of the un-
certainties of politics that the
first clash between the two came
in an unexpected area. The
conflict was expected to come.

cident and not declaration of

first Republican administra-
tion in 20 years to succeed.
A good guess is that while he
didn't like to admit it, the Sena-
tor is as angry or more so over
the selection of Sinclair Weeks
as Secretary of Commerce,
especially since it is added to
the Henry Cabot Lodge plum

er. This means two big posts

Mr.. Taft personally dislikes.
Senator Lodge fought against
him in the Senate. Mr. Weeks
did even worse: he suggested at
Chicago that Senator Taft re-
nounce his presidential aspira-
tions in favor of Gen. Eisen-
hover for the sake of the party.
There is something about abdi-
cation suggestions that politi-
clans cannot forgive or forget.
In 1916, following election of
the Republican 80th Congress,
Senator Fulbright, Arkansas
Democrat, suggested in an idle
conversation with reporters that
under the British parliament
tary system, President Truman
would have to abdicate and a
successor would be chosen.
From that day to this, the
President has never referred to
the Senator, a Rhodes scholar,
except as that over-educated,
Oxford" character, and he has
denied him all patronage, even
the most minor.

David LoWrence:

Naturally the Democrats are
gleeful over the first evidence of
q rift between Senator Taft and
President-elect Eisenhower. This
came with the Ohio Senator's
comment that the selection of
Martin P. Durkin as Secretary
of Labor was IAN incredible ap-
pointment." But the effects of
the controversy may we'll be to
strengthen rather than weaken
Gen. Eisenhower'S efforts to
promote harmony and unity in
the country as whole. 1t may
even start chain of events that
could lead to better under
standing between labor and
management.
Persons who are not familiar
with Senator Taft's blunt way
of expressing himself-and he
never minces words-may read
into his remarks a feeling of
resentment. but actually the
Senator would be the first to
say that it is the new Presidents
right to pick his own cabinet.
From a tactical standpoint,
Senator Taft was, in effect,
making It clear that he isn't re-
ceding one bit in his position
that the ft-Hartley Act shall
not be emasculated. Knowing
that Mr.. Durkin has favored it's
repeal, that he voted for Steven
son, and that he has been serv-
ing as the national president of
an AFL union, it would be sur
prising if the Ohio Senator en-
braced the new Secretary of
Labor and uttered loud cheers
over his appointment. In a way,
Mr.. Taft was declaring his indie
pendence. He is going to criti-
clze when he thinks criticism is
justified, and he is going to
praise when he thinks praise is
due.
No other man in America did
more to insure the election of
Gen. Eisenhower than did Sena-
tor Taft. Had he sulked in the
campaign. his followers would
have sulked. The Republicans
got their big electoral vote by
swelling the total vote in Repub-
lican areas where organization
work done by Taft followers
counted heavily.

Break Before the HONEYMOON
Senator Iofts Perturbation Over Dur<in Appointment
Is an Expected Reaction and Easily Understandable

1t was no great surprise to
anybody here that the first at
tack on the incoming Eisen-
hover administration came
from inside his own ranks, and
not from Democrats. Nor was
the source surprising-Senator
Taft. 1t was somewhat startling
that it did not await short
honeymoon, but occurred even
before the honeymoon began
officially.
Whether President-elect Eli
senhoWer realized it or not, he
'pinked" Senator Taft in a most
sensitive spot by his selection
of Martin Durkin of Chicago,
of the AFL plumbers union, as
Secretary of Labor. 1t might be
described without too much
poetic license as "the most un-
kindest cut of ALL"
This is not because of Mr..
Durkin, himself. It was to the
Senator an incredible appoint
ment." as he called it bluntly,
for two other reasons.
One is that Martin Durkin is
a Democrat; the other, that he
is a Democrat from organized
labor. How displeasing a COM
bination that would be to the
Ohio Senator can be discovered
without too much probing by
merely noting that organized
labor has agitated day in and
day out for repeal of the Taft
Hartley Act, which is the Sena-
tors own cherished jewel, and
that Mr.. Durkin belongs to the
opposition party which, even If
half-heartedly, is likewise Off
cially for repeal of that act.

} agement specialist for the State
College Extension Service. And the
best time to begin, adds Turner,
is at the beginning of the year or
as soon as possible thereafter.
Records are useful, the specialist
points out, for reporting income tax.
They also help the farmer deter
mine the extent to WHICH his opera
tions have succeeded or failed over
given period.
Like any other businessman, the
farmer needs to know more than
Just the fact that he has more VI
less money at the end of the year
than at the beginning. Measuring
success by amount of cash on hand
doesn't show what has happened
to crops, livestock, and supply in
ventorieS.
TO SERVE AS GUIDE
Turner says the farmer should
preserve some historical record of
the performance of his farm-prac-
tices used and rates of production
of crops and livestock. Such records
serve as a guide in development OF
future plans and adjustments in
farm organization. The extent to
which the farm business can be
analyzed will be determined by the
amount of detail in which the rec
ords are kept.
Another factor, says the special
ist, is that farm records are be-
coming increasingly important in
the conduct OF business relations
! with other people. Not only income
tax reports but also business trans
actions with tenants and credit
agencies and social security reports
for farm labor require the keeping
of records.
| If the farmer plans to take ad-
vantage of the capital gains treat
ment of livestock sales under the
new income tax legislation, he will
need to keep a record of date pur-
chased, purchase price. date sold
sales price, and depreciation taken
on all workstock, dairy and breeding
animals.
Farm records, says Turner, are
! intended to help the farmer make
more money. Only those records
lraet be kept which are. essential to
good management and efficient
conduct of the business aspects of
the farm. The type of record and
detail needed will depend partly on
the size and type of business oper-
ated. There's no standard type
which will fit every farmer.
