the government announced II was

THE WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE

lection Of United States military
aid is not a rejection Of economic
aid. which has been of tremendous
importance to Belgrade's efforts
to build ur the national economy.
Also significantly, the total amount
Of United States military aid has
been relatively small. being more
token than a meaningful addi-
ton to Yugoslav armed strength.
Since the Tito break with the
Soviet bloc in 1913. United States
policy has been to encourage
Yugoslav independence as a pos
tive gain for the West. But con-
sistently. congressional critics sus-
picious of the genuineness OF
Marshal Titos break with the
Kremlin. have demanded an end
TO aid. Break or no break. these
critics contend President Tito is
a Communist dictator and in any
showdown will back Moscow.
Yesterday the State Department
had no comment on the Belgrade
reports. explaining that an official
report from Mr.. Riddleberger had
not yet been received. But with
Marshal Tito once again extremely
cool in his relations with Moscow,
diplomats here are obviously con-
cerned lest politically inspired at
lacks on Yugoslavia deprive the
West Of It's one friendly link with
the Communist world.
Yugoslav officials In Belgrade
yesterday emphasized. however.
that the arms aid action did not
indicate hostility to the United
States.

BROTHER AGAINST BROTHER
Hate Is Result Of KohIer Strike

complexities Of charge and coun-
tercharge.
All efforts TO bring and keep
both sides together across a table
have failed. In october, a trial
examiner of the National Labor
Relations Board found the COM
pany guilty Of unfair labor prac-
tees and recommended that it be
ordered to bargain in good faith
and to rehire most of the strikers.
All of this promises a long court
fight while the strike continues.
How much longer can either
side continue? Can the company
stand up under the JAW boycott?
Can the JAW. which already has
spent $40 million on the strike.
continue to pour money into it?
las far as we're concerned"
said l.. L. Smith. Kohler vice pres
ident. I'VE can go on this way for
ever. Our sales suffered in 1864
but we finished the year in the
black. They have increased every
year since then. Neither the strike
nor the boycott is having an ad-
verse effect on our business"
Being almost wholly family
owned. the company does not have
TO publish financial statements.
Their business has dropped
80 to SO per cent" says Robert
Treuer, JAW international rep
resentative. Eventually. our eco
nomic pressure will bring them
around. We can go on a long
time. too. There are nov only
$50 men on our strike assistance
rolls as compared to 1000 at the
peak. Our strike costs have
dropped from $3.50 900 a month to
S45. 1000 a month"
Mr.. Treuer says the company
now employs 1900 to 1000 pro-
duction and maintenance workers
as compared TO 3.400 at the start
OF the strike. Mr.. Smith says the
employment figure is larger than
the union claims but not as large
as in 1854 because of a general
drop in residential building, COM
pletion Of a defense contract and
increased production efficiency
from the men now working.
200 Went Book
OF the original 3.400. Mr.. Treuer
says 1000 went back to Kohler.
$50 remain on the strike benefit
rolls, and 1000 are working else
where. OF this 1000. Mr.. Treuer
says about $500 still live in the
area, but work within a radius Of
$50 miles. and 500 others have

Statistics and counterstatistics

The first man explained: He
