Federal Partnership

The Senate'S prompt passage Of an
amendment to the Federal Lease-Pur-
chase Act brings closer to realization the
plans for an imposing Federal Center"
In Southwest Washington. House ap-
proval Of the easy-payment program
for Government construction in the
Southwest is expected soon. The whole
Zeckendorf plan depends on Federal par
ticipation in the rebuilding of the area
overlooking the waterfront.
Senate insistence on a provision for
taxing of leased properties until the Gov
ernment acquires title to them plugged
loophole in the original bill. The House
should support this important clause.
Otherwise the District will lose tax reve-
nues from real estate that may remain in
private hands for many years. The Lease
Purchase Act authorizes instalment-plan
buying of new buildings erected for the
Government Once the Government be-
comes the owner, of course, the property
will 90 off the tax list.

accepted by their own negotiating officers,
reflects disregard of union discipline and
responsibility toward the employer. At
General Motors, 1t was comparably ir-
responsible to stage "impatience strikes"
Contract negotiations are under way at
that company and time extension of
several days has been agreed upon mu-
tually by labor and management.
To their credit, union leaders have
taken firm action to get the workers back
on their Jobs. UAW President Walter
Reuther warned the Ford strikers they
would receive no union protection against
company disciplinary action. UAW Vice
President John w. Livingston told GM
strikers they were "sabotaging" the con-
tract negotiations being carried on in
their own behalf. At Ford, the back-to-
work movement has succeeded, but Cen
eral Motors still is being plagued by the
work Interruptions.

Unworronted Strikes

The outbreak of wildcat strikes in
the auto industry has been shameful
business. For the very designation OF
these work stoppages-"protest strikes"
In the Ford case and "impatience strikes"
in the General Motors case-tends to
brand them for what they were, namely,
unauthorized and unwarranted disrup-
tions of industry operations and of en-
ployer- -employe relationships.
At Ford, the principal interruption
has been at the big River Rouge plant
in protest" against new contract that
has been hailed both by management
and labor as representing great forward
step in industrial relations. If there
were any grounds for employe protest,
therefore, it would be against the union
leadership for not getting more-rather
than against the company whose produc-
tion was disrupted during the several
days of the walkouts. And to talk Of
demanding an adequate offer" from the
company, above what already had been
