Decision Upholding Union in Railroads
Seen Reversing 81 Rulings implications

provided in the Constitution of
the State of Nebraska. The
Supreme Court of Nebraska
had ruled that compulsory
unioniSm violates both the
State and Federal Constitu-
tionS.
What the Supreme Court
here said. however. was that
no State constitution and no
State law could be regarded
as in force if the Congress
passed a contrary law on the
subject of regulating trade
unions. There are II States
which have passed fright to
work" laws or incorporated
such provisions in their con-
situations. When the workers
pleaded that their rights I'M
der the Federal Constitution
were being violated, the SUI
preme Court here simply an
Swered by saying there was
no constitutional issue at all
before the tribunal. 1t waved
aside what the Nebraska Su-
preme Court found to be a
constitutional issue.
The nine justices of the
highest court here refused to
listen to the argument that a
man who doesn't believe in
trade unionism has a constitu-
tional right to that view, and
declared that the only issue be-
fore the court is whether he
should be forced to pay a part
OF the expenses of the collec-
tive-bargaining process from
which theoretically he benefits.
The high court didn't take
cognizance of the fact that the
employer could share that ex-
pense or could even collect
portions from the worker if he
agreed to it and that this could
be done without forcing him
to become a union member.
The decision simply affirmed
that worker must join such a
union to keep his job-even
though for the present under
the law he cannot be disci-
plined for any other reasons by
the union.
Wide ranged problems are
rendered under the First
Amendment" wrote Justice
Douglas in behalf of the court.

DAVID LAWRENCE

The Supreme Court of the
United States by unanimous
decision has ruled. in effect.
that even system of fascism
can be imposed in America by
Congress, and the Constitution
cannot be invoked to prevent it.
This is just the reverse of
what the court by unanimous
opinion ruled in May, 1885,
when it invalidated the code
system of the National Recov-
cry Act as an unconstitutional
delegation of power by Con-
gress to an artificial system of
government administered by
private groups.
The Supreme Court-com-
posed today of a different set
OF judges-now rules that
Congress is within its rights
in passing a law permitting a
railroad employer to compel a
worker to give up part of his
earnings to finance a union
organization in which he con-
scientiously doesn't believe.
The penalty for nonpayment
is the loss of his job.
The Supreme Court says
Congress has the power to
order such a system of COM
pulsory unionism and that
neither the constitutions of
the States nor the Federal
Constitution can be invoked
to prevent the conflscation of
a workers earnings by a
private organization for a pur-
pose to which he does not
wish to give his assent. There

The Supreme Court lately
has been solicitous about
civil rights" and there has
been a lot of hysterical talk
about "due process" and the
loss Of the right of dissent"
especially for Communist SYM
pathizers. But the high court
was deaf to the plea of the

toned the nine justices to

Army Reveals
New Missiles
Of Nike Class

The Army apparently has a
new weapon under development
designed to combat high flying,
supersonic speed ballistic mis-
siles.
It admitted officially, although
graphically. last night that the
missile is named "Nike-Zeus, Z"
which is believed designed to
hit ballistic missiles.
A regulation signed by Gen.
Maxwell d. Taylor, Chief Of
Staff. revealed that the Army
has or is developing three Nike
missiles.
The "Nike-Ajax." or Nike l."
has been in production for some
time, and batteries of them ring
Washington and other metro
politan areas. The weapon now
is considered obsolescent.
There has been some confu-
sion of Capitol Hill testimony
and information leaked to the
press from time to time as to
whether one or two other Nike
types were being developed.
But the regulation giving new
names "for use with the Nike
family of anti-aircraft weapons
systems listed three. Nike
Hercules" or "Nike-B" was
listed as the second.
The present-day Mixes have a
range of some 80 miles. The Nike
B repeatedly will be far more
complicated weapons system and
may be fired into a flight Of
planes for a distance Of upwards
of 100 miles. This would make
it an interceptor-plane type Of
missile.
On Monday. Defense Secretary
Wilson awarded the Army pri-
mary responsibility to operate
all anti-aircraft guided missiles,
but he held their range down
to 100 miles.
The order thereby assigned
land-based TaloS missiles to the
Army. 1t was developed by the
Navy for shipboard use but the
Air Force also had announced
plans for using 1t in anti-aircraft
defenses.
The Air Force was given opera
tional control over long and in
termediate range (l.500-mile
and 5.000-mile. missiles.

Radford Doubts
Secure Peace
With Reds

Admiral Arthur w. Radford
questioned last night whether
the United States could "ever
realize a true and secure peace"
as long as there is threat Of
Communist aggression in the
world.
Il am no seer who can predict
with certainty whether the Com
munist aim at ultimately pro-
voking a world struggle" the
chairman of the Joint Chiefs Of
Staff said in speech at the Ma
tional Conference of the United
States Savings Bond Program at
the Shoreham Hotel.
Lack Full Information
1--WE are given no first-hand,
complete information on Com
munist forces and reserves-their
composition. strengths and de-
ploymentS." he continued. II can
only wonder if we are ever to
realize a true and secure peace
while there hovers that con-
slant threat of Communist ag-
gression."
At another point, the admiral
said the American people like
to paint one all black and the
other all white" in talking about
the inter-relationships of war
and peace.
But history has shown that
not all wars have been bad and
not all peace has been good" he
said. "There have been occasions
when war has developed an en-
vironment for teamwork, CO.
operation, understanding and
greatness of spirit among ma
tions," he said. Peace has some
times been the triumphant
handiwork Of deception, chica-
merry and expediency over that
which is morally right"
Cites Munich Pact
In retrospect, he called atten-
ton to the Munich pact, which
he said was a "heavy blow to
humanity. The suppression and
suffocation of freedom among a
once-free people, however peace
fully accomplished. is far-reach-
ing in its Implications" he con-
tinued.
Out of sustained freedom, a
better life can be rebuilt. but
out Of lost freedom, the admiral
said, can only stem generations
of hate and oppression "as we
have recently relearned through
the bitter struggle of the Hun
garian people"
Surely this means some
thing" he said. ITO me it means
that there are greater conSi-
derations in this world than the
presence or absence Of war"

Plunning Commission Mukes Recommendations
 To City Council

Members Of the City Planning Commission recently made sev- eral recommendations to the City of Palmer. Although the City Council has not yet taken any official action on them, some of the recommendation were al ready in effect and do follow quite closely the Commissions own suggestions.
 Among recommendations was that the City Council contact proper authorities to have no passing lanes painted on the Glenn highway from city limits to city limits; that the Council consider the possibility of hiring city administrator or city man. ager when the present city clerks resignation becomes ef- feetive. The office would coor- dinate all city activities and make one person responsible for competent operation of city ad- ministration and utility fune- tions, thus relieving various city eouncilmen from botherseme de tails.
 They recommended that since the city has annexed the high school area south of the city that the city construct and main tain WalkWay on the east side of Springer road for the use of pupils walking to and from high school; that Speed Zone Ahead signs about one quarter of a mile outside city limits on all high ways be installed; that the Coun- cil investigate the possibility of assessing all property owners with property adjacent to streets being paved, in the amount of tWe-thirds Of the cost of the paving, the other one third to be borne by the city; that the city study the problem of sew CT system before any additional street paving is considered; that the fire chief be responsible for thorough weekly inspection of all fire fighting equipment and that a city employee be made respon- sibie for daily checks of the fire trucks; and in their report the Commission commended the City Council for the fine job the
