further that he would contest
the question of whether the re-
porter actually was creating a
disturbance in the first place.

Labor Day" postage stamp.
Other Statements
Meanwhile, labor leaders,
headed by AFL-CIO President
George Meany. issued separate
holiday statements Analysing la
boris gains and problems for the
future.
Mr.. Eisenhower, at the White
House ceremony, was surrounded
by cabinet members, labor lead
ers and nine descendants of Peter
j. MCGUIRE. who proposed Labor
Day as a national holiday.
In his informal 600-word talk
Mr.. Eisenhower also said the
Nations labor force of Sc million
people are employed at the high
est real wages in world history
Moreover. as the years have
rolled on, and with governmental
cooperation and leadership" he
said, there has been built around
all labor a system of protection
represented in our old-age Sc.
curity. unemployment insurance
minimnm-wage laws and the
rights of collective bargaining.
Avoids Partisanship
Except by implication in his
talk Of high wages and employ
ment, the President avoided
partisan references.
Mr.. Meany. in a Labor Day
statement issued by his head
quarters, said unity in labor will
strengthen its position.
1.-THE working men and women
Of America have good cause to
celebrate on this Labor Day be-
cause the united labor movement
is no longer a dream, but an
effective reality" he said.

spots in our economy or pretend
that all is well while millions

hard for its legislative program,
and that labor has been COM

cal action to obtain favorable
action on the legislative pro-
gram.

is a simple one," he said. I'VE

bloc for any party in any cleo
ton, both the Democrats and
Republicans would like to get
the majority of the Government
employe votes that are cast.
The Democrats specifically
promise Federal workers salary
increases, a promotion system
based strictly on merit, official
recognition of Federal ernploye
unions with attendant collective
bargaining rights with agencies
on all personnel matters and
policies, and a fair and nom
political loyalty program"
The Republicans defend their
record of the past four years
which they declare has brought
a host Of new gains and benefits
to Federal workers. They promise
to continue to seek new advances
in benefits for Federal workers
and also a boost in the annuities
of retired Federal workers.
Both parties pledge adherence
to strong merit system devoid
of politics. with the Democrats
assailing the Eisenhower admin
istration's handling of the merit
system and the Republicans de-
Tending it.
Democratic Plank
Here is the Democratic plank
on civil service:
THE Eisenhower administra-
ton has failed to either under
stand or trust the Federal en-
ploye. It's record in personnel
management constitutes a grave
indictment of policies rejecting
prejudices and excessive parti-
sanship to the detriment Of en-
ploye morale.

The International Union De-

praise for the working man with
"a slam at the Eisenhower Ad-

said, far too many millions OF

AS to charge No. 2, Mr.. Cain
said that the sergeant admitted
that his wife had joined the
TWO. explaining that she did
so to obtain inexpensive in
surance without the necessity of
taking a physical examination,
Mr.. Cain said that Mrs. White
already had been suffering from
Hodgkin's disease. The TWO pol
icy was for 1000 and was taken
out primarily for burial pur-
poses. The sergeant denied that
his wife attended TWO functions.
The now-defunct TWO still is
on the Attorney Generals sub
verSive" list.
AS to the allegations Of debts.
Sergt. White denied owing the
rent but acknowledged the tut
ton charge. He explained the
latter, Mr.. Cain said. as having
been necessary because of the
heavy medical expenses of mis-
wife.
"Since when, may I ask, is
monetary Indebtedness a sign of
disloyalty andfor subversion?"
! Mr.. Cain Wrote
On the matter Of the security
hearing, Mr.. Cain asserted that
Major Jack Corwin, provost
marshal of Forbes Air Force
Base, Topeka, Kans., where
Sergt. White was stationed, was
a member of the board which
recommended the general dis
charge of the 12-year veteran.
Prosecutor and Jury
I'm consequence, Major Cor
win was both a prosecutor and
member of the jury" Mr.. Cain
commented. This circumstance
represents what would be ma
ljor reversible error in any court
| in the land"
Finally, Mr.. Cain said that
Iinasmuch as there was no YER
dict on each count against the
sergeant, the reason for the dis
charge is not known to the &C
cused.
"I am inclined to believe that
Sergt White was dismissed on
general grounds for the reasons
that a case. flimsy though its
foundation was, had been initi-
ated against him and an acquit-
tai verdict would have been a
reputation of the provost mar
shall who acted as both Judge
and prosecutor"
