Durkin Angrily Resigns AS Labor
Secretary, Charging Administration
Broke Agreement On Taft-Hartley
WASHINGTON. Up

, WASHINGTON, Up - An I'M
easy political honeymoon between
President Eisenhower and organ
lied la Dor appeared ended Friday
with the abrupt and angry resig-
nation of Martin P. Durkin as Sec
rotary of Labor.
Durkin, a union leader and a
Democrat, quit his cabinet post
with a charge that the Eisenhower
administration had broken an ag-
reement with him on recommen-
dations to be made in changing
the controversial Taft Hartley
Labor Relations Law.
Presidents George Meany of
the AFL and Walter Reuther of
the CIO quickly sided with Dur
kin and accused Eisenhower of
falling to live up to promises
made to organized labor.
There was no comment from
Eisenhower, outside of a letter &C
cepting Durkin's resignation and
praising his services as secretary
1T has long been a tradition in
the labor movement that once an
agreement is reached the parties
abide by it." Meany said. ''Mr.
Durkin is fschooled in that tradi-
ton. He resigned because he could
not continue serving on a team
where agreements are not kept"
Meany and Reuther and their
organizations, as did most of the
rest Of organized labor's leaders,
supported Democrat Adlai Steph-
enson against Eisenhower in last
falls presidential elections.
After his landslide victory, Eli
senhower surprised nearly every
one by choosing Durkin, a staunch
Democrat and president Of the
AFL's Plumbers Union, for the
labor cabinet post. Durkin himself
expressed surprise and the late
Sen. Robert Taft called the ap-
pointment incredible"
The selection was widely re-
garded as an effort by the new
administration to WOO union sup
port, since they had comprised the
largest single segment of the
country opposed to the Republi-
cans.
The 59-year-old Durkin told a
packed news conference he had
submitted his resignation Aug. 81
when he became convinced the
administration had "broken" COM
mitments with him on proposed
changes in the Taft-Hartley law.
Asked whether he woEld have
remained had Eisenhower chang
ed his views about the TIL law
proposals, Durkin replied, II

Mccarthy Releases and Brands
AS Communistic Restricted Army
Intelligence Report On Siberia

WASHINGTON, R-The Army
said Friday an intelligence report
on Siberia portions of which
were released by Sen. Mccarthy
was restricted information. 1t
declared too that any conclusion
it is Communist propaganda ''is
refuted" by reading the entire
document.
Unauthorized release Of re-
stricted information is violation
Of law punishable by up to $4,000
fine and 10 years Imprisonment.
Mccarthy showed reporters
Photographic copies of the first
70 pages Of the 75-page document
on Wednesday,, contending it
smacked Of "clear cut Commun-
ist propaganda"
He was acting as chairman of
the Senate Investigations sub
committee which has been look
ing into Army security. This
could pose questions Of congress
sional rights in relation to the
law. And in any event, it is i'm
probable that a charge Of violat-
ing the law as to restricted docu-
ment would be pressed against
any member of Congress in such
circumstances.
The Army issued a statement
which made no direct mention of
Mccarthy but was obviously
framed as a reply to his Wednes-
day actions.
In a statement, the Army said
that the document was intended
for limited distribution to intelli-
gence officers ''to develop under
standing Of the Soviet people
which will be militarily useful in
case Of war"
''It is obvious" the statement
continued, ''that the necessary in
struction Of officers and men in
this field cannot proceed without
attempting to enter the mind and
thought processes Of the Soviet
citizen"
The Army statement contended
Mccarthy had withheld from his
releases sections which would
have made clear the document
was not Communist propaganda.
1t was the conclusion, on pages
IA and rs of the original docu-
ment, declared in part that the
Soviet citizen lives and works al
most like a convict. These pages
were not released by the senator.

COMMENT
By
WALTER CHAMBllN, k.

Under the Eisenhower
Administration the ground
work has been laid for a
balanced federal budget.
This development has the
great e S t significance for
everyone in the United
States and has important
repercussions t hr ou g h
out the world.
In brief, here is what has
been accomplished: New
spending authorized by Con-
gress for this fiscal year is
less than the income the
Government expects to COL
lect.
The significance of this
situation is described as fol-
lows by the federal Bureau
of the Budget: New OBJ
ligational authority lower
than the years expenditures
and receipts is the essential
turning point toward a bal
anced budget as long as it
proposes to spend more than
it takes in. And the Admin
istration has done some
thing about it.
Let's look at the figures,
for they speak eloquently
for themselves. For this
fiscal year ending June 80,
new spending authorized
totalled 1852 billion while
receipts are expected to be
1888 billion.
This is an historic rever-
sal of recent fiscal policy.
Tere is the record: In
the 1850 fiscal year new OBJ
ligational authority totalled
$500 billion while receipts
were $37.1 billion. In 1851
the totals were $84.1 billion
and $4S.1 billion. In 1862
they were 1929 and S62.1
and in 1858 were $500 and
$685..
Now this policy shift does
not mean that the budget
VIII be balanced this year.
In fact, the Administration
expects to spend $72.1 bill
lion this year and to COL
lect 1888 billion. leaving a
1913 billion deficit. How
ever, if Social Security taxes
and other revenue placed in
trust accounts were included
the deficit would be less than
$500. million on the basis of
present estimates The Ad.
mlnlstration's fiscal prob
lens would be much simpler
II 1T had to deal only with
this years spending and re-
celpts. But on top of this

Concern over the large num-
ber of children playing in alleys

day by Chairman Henry Gichner
at a meeting of the District Rec

Speaking to a score Of play
