See No Evil

Washington - The leaders Of
American labor have gulped hard
at some OF the disclosures Of the
Mcclellan Senate Investigating
committee but on the whole, have
reacted like the responsible men
that they are.
They have not pretended to like
the disclosures of what has been
going on in the Transfers Union.
Nobody likes to see his dirty linen
aired in public. But George Meany,
Dave Dubinsky. Walter Reuther
and half a dozen others could
name have not tried 10 sweep
under the rug the well-documented
charges Of racketeering and mis-
use Of power.
Perhaps they were slow in NOV
ing against the hoods" but I
believe the record will show they
moved more quickly than the
American Bar Assn. has acted
against crooked lawyers or the
American Medical Assn. has
moved against improper practices
by physicians. Any Of us could
probably mention half a dozen in
stances in our own professions
that we frowned upon, but did
nothing about.
The zone interest" press has,
quite naturally, made much of the
revelations about Dave Beck,
James Hoffa and other business
men," who found the labor move
ment to be quite a good thing.
l know many people in industry
who think that anyone who asks
for a raise in salary is at least I'M
couth, If not downright subver-
sive. So it was to be expected that
disclosures about the Becks and
Hoffas would merely confirm the
deeply held feelings by many who
are management-minded that the
whole labor movement was just
one big racket. That they have
made the most Of II should sur
prise no one.
But morality Is not a one-way
street. II crooks who exploit Ia
Dor make interesting reading,
certainly there ought TO be a
headline or two about business
men who rob their stockholders,
including widows and the aged.
A top AFL-CIo official made
this point the other day, but the
newspapers chose to feature other
parts Of his talk.
The News That's Not Fit To Print
William F. Schnitzler. secretary
OF the AFI-CIo, cited three recent
news events which he thought
merited more extensive treatment
than they received in the daily
press. I doubt II there is a re-
sponsible City Editor in the coun-
try who wouldn't agree with him
II his publisher weren't listening.
Schnitzler spoke before the ma
tional convention of the Amalga-
mated Assn. of Street and Elec-

Benjamin Fairless of u. S. Steel
said in a recent talk:
while candidates for
sainthood are not in generous
supply in the business community,
the proportion of rascals is no
greater than that found among
other group Of people"
That's true enough, except that
what's a headline for one kind Of
sinner rates only a footnote for
another.

Hidden Hobby Bench-"One
thing I've missed since moving

might scar it. and there's no
place for a workbench"
If this is your problem, you
might be interested in way you
can have hidden hobby bench
in your living-dining room or
even in a bedroom.
Just add a drop leaf to the
back of a bookcase, serving table
or bedside chest. If the drop
leaf is made of 1-inch plywood
or pine, it will serve as a good
work surface. When the leaf is
down and the chest or bookcase
is in place against a wall. your
hobby work area is invisible.
Select a bookcase or chest at
least "a inches wide so you will
have a work surface about %
inches wide and 80 inches long
large enough for small hobby
work.
Instead of using a gate leg to
support the drop leaf. 1t is sug-
gested that you hinge H-shapt
legs to the free end of the leaf
The legs can be held steady in
an upright position by metal leg
braces like the ones used on most
card tables.
The hidden hobby bench can
also be used for sewing or as q
desk. For convenience, the book
case or chest should be fitted
with wheel or ball-type casters.
