Government guarantees a nice

abandoned Dixon-Yates deal,
which of course means high

Now we are seeing the spec
tacle of Secretary of Interior
Mckay, who instituted this
shortsighted policy, confessing
publicly that we face a power
shortage. He still is appealing
for private utilities and local
communities to come in and
help. He is claiming that Con-
gress will not provide the $500
million needed annually, but
that local communities and
private utilities must do 1t
under his partnership" plan.
If Secretary Mckay would
submit an integrated Federal
program to Congress, he could
get CONGRESSES support. What
the Secretary overlooks is that
every cent that Congress ap-
propriates to develop our rivers
in the public interest would
come back - as it Is coming
back now every year, and ahead
of schedule. from TVA-to the
Treasury, and that in the end
the projects would belong to
all of the people who put up
the money for this safe and

The Cancelled Dixon-Yates
contract assumed its 1856
campaign shape yesterday
when the veteran Wyoming
Senator Joseph c. O'Mahoney
fixed his deep-set eyes on
Atomic Energy Commission
Chairman Strauss and pro-
claimed with deep emotion:
"You have been deceiving
the President as well as the
public. The Acc, the Budget
Bureau, yes and Sherman

Of you have hurt the country
very seriously. You should not
have allowed your President to
be put in the position Of not

own house"
Chairman Strauss. quivering
with rage. kept his voice under
control as he defended his
honor and his record as a
public servant. But he refused
to yield an inch of his claim
that all his White House con-
versations about Dixon-Yates
were privileged" under the
doctrine Of separation Of pow
ers and that he need not say
what he did and said there.
1t was the climax of tense
hours in which OMahoney
built up the picture Of a puppet
President who repeatedly orr
dered full disclosure of all the
facts about Dixon-Yates but
could not seem to enforce his
decision.

Not so in this country The

as the inadequacy Of facilities
and the declining quality Of
our education generally. In
short. right here at home, in,
our schools, we are neglecting
an important weapon in the
cold war" or cold peace" or
whatever we may now term
our competition with Russia.
It is hard to realize from the
still reluctant attitude today
toward Federal aid that one Of
our recognized staunch con-
servative Republican leaders,
the late Senator Robert A.
Taft Of Ohio. sponsored and
got through the Senate Of the
Republican controlled 80th
Congress-l947-49--a bill for
$500 million for direct Federal
aid to education. 1t was all for
operating expenses. with about
IS per cent due to go for
teacher salaries. The measure
was buried in a House COM
mittee.
The Ohio Senator had no
fears about Federal control Of
education-which he would
have been the last to accept
because of a specific provision
that forbade the Federal Gov
eminent to have any say what
ever about the schools, their
curriculum, textbooks or any
thing else.
Seven years late, we are be-
ginning to catch up with Sem
ator Taft, though the admin
istration's program will be linn
tied to school construction.
Had Congress followed Senator
Taft in his program, which
was planned as a continuing
Federal program, we would be

principle the CLIO concept that
all workers in a plant must
belong to the same union and
be represented by q single bar
gaining committee. Employers
usually like it. as it saves
dickering with each union
comparatively. So the crafts
may no longer have autonomy.
This means eventually a
leveling -out of wages. and
naturally the craft worker
will find himself at a diSad-
vantage. 1t is a sort of COM
munizing process in which an
entire plant is put into one
union, with one set of officers
who look to the votes of the
lower-paid unskilled workers
the vast majority-instead
of to each minority of craft
workers when making wage
scales. 1t means that the
highly paid skilled worker is
bound to suffer. This has
happened already in many in
dustries containing the Gin
dustrial union" plan. It is
a case of robbing Peter to pay
Paula redistribution of wage
income in which efficiency and
ability give way to numerical
preSsures.
Already there are signs of
rebellion in the ranks of the

DAVID LAWRENCE

The crusade for zone big
union" in America - fostered
decades ago by the Industrial
Workers Of the World-has
come q long way toward frui-
ton In the merger Of Hthe
American Federation of La
Dor and the Congress Of In
dustrial Organizations. The
IWWs, as they were gener-
ally known, sought to bring
craft workers into all-plant
unions under one big top
layer Of governing officials.
The new merger viii not
be examined by any investi-
eating committee Of Congress.
It's q monopoly that will not
be touched by the Depart
ment Of Justice under the
antitrust laws. For the power
of political reprisal by the
lone big union" is so threat
ening that no administration
in America today dares to
challenge 1t and enforce the
basic principle of antimo-
nopoly.
Big business is rightfully
policed to prevent mergers
that lessen competition. but
not the AFL and CLIO when,
having found competition to
be hurtful to their respective
groups, they now agree to
abolish "raiding." This is the
name given to the situation
that arises when a new union
seeks to unionize workers in
plants already organized by
another union. So. when Ia
Dor leaders find competition
irksome, they just make a
merger and the common-law
principle of monopoly is
brushed aside, even though
price-fixing is the direct re-
suit of wage-fixing in union
contracts.
But there is a more danger
Gus development in the mer-
ger than has as yet appeared
in the public discussions. 1t
is that the AFL. which has
been made up largely of craft
unions, is really accepting in

Of freedom and free institu-

involved. Among them, what
we do with our opportunities
to develop ourselves. our own
economy and our own institu-

Russia's stepped-up eco

nations. particularly those in
the Middle East and India has
directed our attention to our
own foreign economic-aid pro-
gram as well as to the less
expensive Point Four program
instituted by former President
Truman.
How much Congress should
be asked to appropriate next
year for foreign economic aid
now is a matter Of controversy
within the administration that
was carried this week to Pres
ident Eisenhower at Gettys-
burg. One group would scale
it down. Another would expand
1t. especially to underdeveloped
countries in Asia and Africa.
In addition to money for
direct economic aid. there is
the Point Four program by
which we provide technical as
sistants to help underdeveloped
countries to help themselves In
raising living, health and edu-

STA now is copying us. Part Of
