trolls offshore submerged lands
claimed by Texas since it was a
republic.
Texas has not given its electoral
vote to a Republican since Her
bert Hoover squeezed out a narrow
victory over AL Smith in 1928.
Conservative Texas Democrats
began breaking away from the New
Deal in 1910. The revolt-still with
in the party-grew in 1914 and
1948. It led to development of two
feuding factions: the conservatives
headed by a succession of anti
New Deal governors; the liberals,
with leaders like Rayburn and
Johnson.
Conservative Democratic COVER
nors have won every race over
New Deal opponents in recent
years, but they stayed reluctantly
in the national party.
Shivers headed a conservative
Texas delegation to the Chicago
convention in July. 1t was seated
after a contest with a rival liberal
slate when Shivers promised to do
all he could to see to it the Demo
cratic presidential nominees name
would be printed on the ballot in
the usual Democratic column.
The State Convention in Septem-
ber fulfilled the pledge. Then it
overwhelmingly urged Shivers and
all state party leaders to back Eli
senhower. They did so by forming
an organization known as the Texas
Democrats for Eisenhower, whose
leadership overlaps that of the Cen
trail State Democratic Committee.
That's when the national party
called on Rayburn to hurry back
to Texas and rally the liberal or
'1oyalist" faction into a working
organization to fight for Stevenson.
Stevenson spoke six times here.
He left saying it would be a ma.
tional tragedy for freedom-loving
Texans to desert the Democratic
party and vote for the "carpetbag-
/ gers, the friends of reaction, the
men of little vision, indecision and
| isolationism."
Rayburn said response to Steven
sons speeches was sure sign
that he would carry Texas, that
Republican claims to the contrary
were propaganda.
Eisenhower and his friends were
equally confident.
The Republican candidate fed the
fires of Democratic revolt. Every
where he went he was surrounded
and acclaimed by erstwhile Demo-
Gratis. He begged Texas Democrats
to allow principle to prevail over
a party label and established voting
habits. Texans are not in any
body's bag. No one can deliver a
Texans vote but a Texan" he
said.
The Republicans are claiming
they will get from 81 to 5S per
cent of the vote Nov. (.
They are looking to the big cities
such as Houston, Dallas, Ft. Worth
and San Antonio for their chief
support.
The Democrats are counting on
considerable big city strength, plus
general support in smaller cities
and towns and In the country. Thus
any election return departures
from this pattern may tell the
story of who takes Texas.

BY DAVE cHEAvENs


AUSTIN, Tex. 1.-TWO and a
half million Texas voters may hold
the key to the White House door
for either Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-
hover or Gov. Adlai Stevenson.
Texas "a electoral votes-sixth
biggest block in the nation-are in
doubt for the first time since 1928
and the second time this century.
A Democratic rebellion that splin-
tered off segments of the once
solid Texas party in 1948 split it
wide open this year.
For the first time in history, a
Democratic governor of Texas has
joined the Republicans in backing
their presidential candidate Gov.
Allan Shivers' simmering dis
pleasure with New Deal and Fair
Deal policies boiled over when
Stevenson said he could not agree
with Texas claims TO submerged
offshore lands and their potential
and disputed-oil wealth.
The revolt brought an open al
lance between Shivers, his estab-
lished state party machinery and
a militant Republican organization
making its first serious effort in a
quarter of century to win the
Texas electoral vote. Nothing Like
it had ever happened in historically
Democratic Texas.
The outcome is so uncertain that
both parties for the first time sent
their presidential candidates criss'
crossing the state. The vice presi-
Dental candidates Of both parties
are scheduled to nail down the
campaigns here later this month.
The Associated Press second
1852 survey of political thinking in
Texas confirmed the professional
politicians views that in mid
October the outcome here was I'M
certain. In August the survey by
newspapermen showed they be-
lieved Eisenhower held a narrow
margin, with many voters uncer'
tain.
The uprising by Shiyers and other
state Democratic leaders such as
Atty. Gen. Price Daniel, unopposed
nominee for the u. S. Senate, was
met by a combat team from the
national party. It was headed by
House Speaker Sam Rayburn and
Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson. They en-
listed an unexpected ally in former
Vice President John N. Garner,
who came out of political retire
ment to endorse Stevenson.
The big question today Is whose
side the rank and file voters win
join, especially the large number
still apparently undecided. Texas
potential vote Is 2i1 million and
best estimates are the turn out viii
be another record-breaking ia
million to 100000.
The voters may stay hitched
with Democratic tradition, backed
by appeals to their distrust of Re,
publicans generally, fear Of depres-
sion, and prosperity arguments.
Or they may line up with Shiyers,
who says the issue is good gov.

NATIONAL emergency DECLARED
On September "a, 1851, President Truman
certified number of local UAW CLIO disputes in the
copper and brass industry to the wage stabiization
board a national emergency. As matter OF fact,
less than one-hrd of the copper and brass industry
was involved. Even among this minority large per-
centage were in different phases of the BUSINESS had
no common problems and were not competitive.
ACTUALLY There WAS NO NATIONAL
emergency
Only one plant was on strike. Strikes were
threatened In others but had not been called. Some
of the plants had not even started the collective bar
gaining procedure. The other two.thirds of the in.
dustry had no pending disputes of any kind. Many
companies and plants had already signed new agree.
ments with their bargaining units. Due to the short
age Of copper the production of the industry was far
from capacity. strike by this minority could not,
at least Immediately, have created national emer'
gsucy.
There WAS NO INDUSTRY Dispute
All plants involved in this certifcation had pre-.
yiously bargained separately and held Independent
contracts with the representatives of their employees
who had been recognized and certified separate
units bv the National Labor Relation Board. These
contracts all had different provisions and different
expiration dates. Several of the companies involved
had already signed new agreements with other unions
representing a majority of their employees.
This group of separate local disputes, involving
less than one-thrd of the industry combined in
single case, has no right to be called an industry
dispute
PANELS RECOMMENDATIONS INCONSISTENT
In spite of the experiences of the chairman of
the panels in the controversial Borg Warner, Curtss.
Wright and steel disputes the copper and brass panel
has been inconsistent in its approach and recon-.
mendations in this proceeding while admitting that
the companies involved do not constitute a single
Industry the panel nevertheless handled the separate
disputes az a single one.
The panel recommendations state that the
brass and copper plants must be considered sep

tractual provisions and the prior concessions in.
volved at each plant. This uniform wage recon.
mendation was identical to the amount requested by
UAw.UO.
The methods used to determine the amount of
this uniform wage recommendation are fallacious
and Inconsistent with facts.
The recommendations exceed the amount Of
wage increases left 10 various employers under the
wage stabilzaton ruling. They exceed the limit
which the employers could legally grant in voluntary
collective bargaining under the government wage
formulas.
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING CAN BE DESTROYED
The Wage Sterilization Board must now con.
slider the panels recommendations. If the board up.
holds them, collective bargaining in the copper and
brass industry is ended.
The recommendations of the panel exceed the
amount of increases left to the various companies
under Government wage regulations. No prior vol
untary industry settlements exceeded these regula.
lions. The panel further recommends additional
retroactive annual improvement increase without
regard to the prior agreements reached by majority
of the industry plants which do not provide such
increases.
This majority already in agreement concluded
contracts through proper collective bargaining with
the individual bargaining agents of their employees.
These contracts provide from five to nine cents
per hour less than the panel recommendations for
the onethird UAW.CIO minority involved Of even
more serious import the fact that at several of the
companies forced into this case, the UAW.CIO rep.
resents only minority of the employees, the ma
jority being represented by A. F. of L. other affiliated
unions and Independent unions.
the Government can and will dictate better
contract terms upon the request of such minority
group, why should other employees endeavor to
reach agreement through collective bargaining?
If the wage stabilization board dictates better
contract terms in a dispute than it approve in
voluntary agreements, why should any group attempt
to reach voluntary agreements?
What union would ever conclude a contract
when knew that the Government, at the request Of
competitive union, would dictate better contract?
Fair and harmonious industrial relations de-
veloped over period of many years of honest eln'
ployer and employee effort will be destroyed if the
recommendations Of ths paaA aza sphsla'
Evening star., 1952-04-09
AN APPEAL TO REASON

The Wage Sterilization Board scheduled consider the findings of its
investigating panel and make for the copper and
industry sometime this week. In the the general public
industry and the Nation them take this opportunity avoid
the disruption the strife and the naionay effect that would be
through adoption Of the panels recommendation.
Evening star., 1952-04-09
PEACE and oRDER-oR STRIFE7
ADVERTISEMENT. VI

The panel recommendations favoring the UAW.
CO will, If upheld, be disruptive among the balance
Of the industry. They will create inequities where
none previously existed They will favor one union
against others and give the signal for dscord raids
and inter.union strife. They will unsettle many
agreements outside the industry in areas where cop.
per and brass agreements have considerable influ.
ence, thereby further unstabzing wages rather than
stabilizing them. They will promote initiation and
again cheaper the dollar with accompanying effect
on 50 many of our fellow citizens.
We insist that it intent of Congress in set
ting up regulations to preserve collective bargaining
and stabilize wages, not disrupt relations and
stabilize wages We believe the intent was to control
imitation, not to promote it.
Evening star., 1952-04-09
A REASONABLE APPEAL

We urge the Wage Sterilization Board to con.
slider this copper and brass case most seriously. We
believe the members of the board are interested in
the nations welfare On the basis of the facts we make
appeal for equity, equity under the regulations
and equity between unions We appeal for com.
petitive equity for the companies involved, an
equity that could exist if they accepted the
petitive cost disadvantages that would result from the
panels recommendations.
We urge that these plants and companies
ceive individual recommendations which consider
their specific problems their specific positions and
the specific amounts of wage increases allowed them
under the wage regulations.
We urge individual consideration that will not
place them at handicap as compared with those
achieving prior settlements through voluntary colec.
tive bargaing.
We specifically urge the elimination of retro
activity and of the retroactive annual improvement
increases or any other increase which exceeds
amounts existing in prior settlements within the in.
dustry.
Weurge this in the interest of the companies and
their employees, in the interest of the copper and
brass industry and in the interest of the nation.
