Eisenhower Praises Lobos Role in Los Angeles Talk

The tert of President Eisen-
hoWer's address to the annual
convention OF the American
Federation of Labor yesterday
in Los Angeles tolloDs:
President Meany and my fell
low Americans: I hope you al
low me to say first that when
I hear any meeting or conven-
ton, a session of a convention,
open with a beautiful invocation
and such a rendering of "The
Star r-Spangled Banner" you do
something to the emotions Of an
old soldiers heart that leaves
him little bit speechless.
There are a number of rea-
sons why I am delighted to be
with you. The first Is this: I
would like to ask you a great
favor, that as the elected repre-
sentatives of a tremendous body
of organized labor in this coun-
try each of you will convey to
those aroups which you repre-
sent my very best wishes, my
warm greetings as great Amer
leans. .
I recognize, as well as any one
else, that it is those people whose
heads and hearts and hands have
created so much of the wealth
OF this country and have done
so much to give us the country
of such great resources that all
of us enjoy, so that I as an indi-
vidual dedicated to the welfare
Of 100 million people certainly
include all of that great group
exactly as I include every other
group in my contemplations, my
studies and the plans that try
to make for this country.
Some Differences.
I can read and do read In
the papers that there are certain
things in which this group as a
body. doesn't approve Of that I
do. They don't approve Of some
of the things apparently that I
believe. I think that doesn't
affect at all personal friendships,
and in this room there are num-
bers of people who have been in
my Office and we have had very
cordial relationships. in spite of
any differences of opinion. So,
Of course. I know that you re-
spect my attitude to think that
possibly you are a bit wrong
occasionally Just as you think I
am wrong. And that hasn't any
thing to do with what we may
say to each other.
Another reason I should men,
ton for being pleased to be here
this morning Is that I under
stand that by tradition, by his
tory you are completely and
absolutely non-political. can't
tell you what a relief 1t is to me
to address an audience where
there is nothing political ex-
pected Of me one way or the
other.
Evening star., 1954-09-25

There Is one place where I
know we agree in one specific
and concrete objective and pur-
pose, and one where I think it
is not out Of place for me IN my
present Office even to say I should
like to commend the American
Federation of Labor. Your his
tory of absolute opposition to
communism in all its forms, in
whatever way 1t may pose its
therat, Is to me a heartening
thing, and at least In that we are
one, and I am certain there is
no difference possible between us.
Roofing Out Reds.
I think most of you know of
the efforts we have made through
new legislation. enforcing old
legislation. strengthening of sup
port for the FBI and for the
Department of Justice whereby
we are doing our part daily and
hourly in uprooting any possible
trace Of this terrible conspiracy
that we can find in our country.
I assure you that to this body
we look always in that respect
for support in doing that and
at the same time that we pro-
tect absolutely and with all our
might every constitutional right
Of every individual that lives in
this country.
I think there are a couple of
other things on which we agree.
] don't believe that you would
want me to do anything to start
up again the war in Korea and
start the casualty list. don't
believe you would want me to
oppose the social security ex-
pansion and extension Of bene-
fits which we have tried to put
over. / am certain you wouldn't
want me to raise taxes again
and ] am certain you wouldn't
want me to increase govern
mental costs.
Now, I just point out as we
go along that there is not every
thing that we are differing about.
There are some few things, I
think, that as Americans we
can all get behind.
I have no objection whatever,
of course, to listening carefully
and have listened carefully, and
I think there are numbers of
people here that will testify to
that Effect have listened care
fully to the measures that some
OF the people either individually
or as an organization believe
should be done about meeting
obvious soft spots in our econ
omy. And there are such, and
any one would be idiotic to deny
it. But the only thing I can say
is that with the complexities of
Government at home and abroad
we are trying to meet all of these
situations as Abraham Lincoln
said it, "as God gives us wisdom
to see the right"
Now, there Is nothing sacro-

Porolyzed Veteran
Kills Self in Virginia

LOvETTSvILLE. Va, Sept. Is.
Leslie Samuel Frye. who was
so severely wounded during
World War II that he was almost
totally paralyzed, killed himself
yesterday at his home near here.
William P. Frazer, Loudoun

suicide verdict, said the 34-year-
old veteran shot himself in the

lens that it is possible to con-
ceive Of in this day and time.
Just the welfare, the local well
fare Of 160 million people is GER
tainly enough to tax the inge-
nuity of the greatest admins
tration that could be put to-
gether. But when you take that
and while you are trying to do
that, you study all of the inter-
play Of trade and old prejudices
and hatreds and every kind of
antagonism between the nations
Of the world, many of which we
must stay close to if we are to
exist as a prosperous Nation,
then it becomes extremely COM
plex. So 1t is not a simple thing
to state the policy of the admin
istration. But I do believe this,
while an aphorism, a generality
does express our hope, it is in
everything where the Government
deals with the individual human,
be he great or be he small, or be
he black or white, or whatever
his race or religion, to be human,
to be sympathetic. to be under
standing and do our best to help
him. And when the Government
deals with the economy of all
the people and that mans
pocketbook and his money and
his taxes, then by all means to
be conservative.
Domestic Policy.
I have searched for ways in
which I could state a domestic
policy briefly. and I think If you
will take this. cut it to pieces,
criticize it, put it back together,
I do believe 1t represents what
is in the hearts Of the admin
istration you now have in Wash
ington.
Now, there is one other thing
and this I am sure. There is no
way of my proving it and there
fore my statement must either
be rejected or accepted on faith.
I promised in 1852 that I earn
estly and consistently and per-
sistently try to be a friend of
every man who works with his
hands. I need not remind YOU
I think most of you know it
that I was a very hard worker.
Maybe I have told you. My last
work-year before I went to West
Point was So weeks with each "a
hours. and not one hour off. So
I have a very great compre-
hension of what organized labor
has done for this country.
respect it; I admire them for
it. And, in spite of these diff
ferences to which ! refer, I am
not only friendly to that group,
but to my mind they are part,
a great part of the United States
of America, and everything in
these United States of America
engages my attention and my
heart every single second of my
life. Thank you.

|SfeeIWorkers Vote
To Bar Communists
From Membership
by the Assoeicfsd Press

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Sept.
25.-The CIo United steelwork-
ers Of American barred their
doors to Communists yesterday.
In the final action of a topsy-
turvy convention. the 5000 dele
gates voted to change the unions
constitution and make Com
munists ineligible for member
ship.
"You viii note" said David J.
Mcdonald, USW president, "that
we are barring from member
ship Communists and other types
Of scum"
The constitution also excludes
from the union those workers
who actively participate" In the
Ku Klux Klan or any other
Fascist, totalitarian, or other
subversive organization :"
Resolutions Approved.
Earlier. the delegates, repre-
senting Ia million USW men,
bers, approved resolutions urg-
ing greater support for the CIO
Political Action Committee,
continuing campaign for repeal
of the Taft-Hartley Labor Law
and condemnation Of what they
called the ''pro-employer bias
exhibited by the new majority
Of the National Labor Relations
Board"
The convention climax came
Thursday when Mr.. Mcdonald
announced he had no intention
Of leading the steelworkers out
Of the CIO. Instead Of breaking
away, he called for an immediate
union of all the large labor
groups in the Nation.
Convention Begged Down.
But earlier this week labor
disunity, not labor unity" ap-
peared to be the theme of the
convention. The steelworkers
deleted almost all mention Of
the CIO from their agenda, Of
ficers' report and even the
unions title.
Then. Mr.. Mcdonald fell III
and was confined to his hotel
room for two days. In his alb
sence the convention begged
down In routine resolutions.
The only stir was created by
kilograms from CIO President
Walter Reuther, who sent the
steelworkers his "warmest fra
ternal greetings and praised Mr..
Mcdonald for his Outstanding
accomplishments and achieve
ments."
The next day Mr.. Mcdonald
returned to the stage in Con-
vention Hall and said reports of
a USW bolt from the CIO were
imaginary.
"I have been in the construc-
tion business all my life," he
said. II am little too old to
go into the destruction business. -
Cited Differences.
The union chief said he wasn't
mad at the CIO," but admitted
he did not "see eye to. eye" with
Mr.. Reuther on many issues.
Several hours after MIR. Nc
Donald finished his plea for
labor unity. a telegram blasting
the CIO was received from John
l.. Lewis. president of the United
Mine Workers.
Mr.. Lewis said the steel
workers were making q mistake
in staying in the CIO.
Yet, stay they did.
Before the delegates headed
home yesterday Mr.. Mcdonald
repeated his call for pan
unionism," saying such a move
ment was of extreme import
ance" to American labor.

AFL Union Reported
Planning Fight on
Lewis District 50

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 25.-
Several top AFL unions today
were reported banded together
for an organizing drive to take
away members from John L.
Lewis United Mine Workers
Union.
The AFL Teamsters, Carpen-
ters, Laborers and Operating En-
gineers Unions were reported to
have established a joint fund to
try to squeeze Mr.. Lewis out Of
the construction field.
The drive may cause a realign-
ment among labor's top leaders.
Mr.. Lewis recently has been
meeting with AFL Teamsters
President Dave Beck and CIO
Steelworkers President David
Mcdonald in an alliance which
has been critical of both the AFL
and CIO.
However. Mr.. Mcdonald an
nounced at the steelworkers'
convention in Atlantic City two
days ago that he had no inten-
ton Of leading that union out
Of the CIO. Instead he called
for an immediate union of all
the large labor groups in the
Nation.
The four unions were reported
to have decided to try to take
over workers represented by Mr..
Lewis UNIV DistSict so in the
highway and heavy construction
field with hopes of taking over
UNIV building workers later on.
The agreement of the four AFI
unions for a drive against Mr..
Lewis members came during
sessions of the annual AFL con-
vention here, but was not for
mally announced.
Talk of Eisenhower speech.
The convention recessed for
the week end but delegates,
whose sessions will resume Mon
day. were still talking about the
address made yesterday by
President Eisenhower.
Gen. Eisenhower renewed his
pledge to remove union bust
ing" provisions from the Taft
Hartley law. But delegates
shortly thereafter unanimously
passed a resolution labelling as
inadequate the administrators
proposals for changing the law.
The President promised sym
pathetic consideration" for all
organized labor's proposals, but
the general observation of dele
gates was that, while feeling
honored by Gen. Eisenhower's
appearance, they still did not
agree with his policies.
Backing Candidates.
James L. McDeavitt, director
of the AFL's Labor League for
Political Education, said in a
convention speech the league is
supporting 205 candidates for
House seats and Is for Senate
seats in this falls congressional
elections.
Without identifying congress
sional candidates the AFL is
supporting, Mr.. McDeavitt said
they included 'some Republi-
cans" and added that he felt
encouraged" that q Congress
friendly to labor would be elected.
The convention approved a
resolution saying that while the
AFL's immediate goal is to get
Congress to reduce the present
40-hour work week to a 35-hour
week within the next two years,
its long-term aim Is a 30-hour
week with premium pay for extra
hours.
The resolution said that a
shorter work week is necessary
to keep a growing population
employed while industrial mech
anization is constantly permit
ting more production with less
manpower.
