the sudden initiative the admin
istration has taken. is the unusual
fluidity in the Middle East itself.
A vacuum of power is developing
swiftly in Jordan. Britain is being
ousted as financier of the Jordan
army. which held the artificial state
together. Egypt. Syria and Saudi
Arabia are trying to take over the
British subsidy.
But the three countries inten-
tons are unclear. So are their
capacities to pay Jordan's bills.
Besides they have rivals. in Israel
and Iraq, for some of Jordan's terri
tory.
If Jordan's government collapses
completely-already no one can be
sure whether the King. parliament
or some member of the cabinet
speaks for Jordan-there may be a
five-nation scramble to carve up
its land.
Need for StobiIity
The United States role in pre-
serving some kind of stability in the
area depends on how these con-
tending forces mesh. If few stra-
logically placed political loans"
could prevent chaos. or thwart some
Communist subversive maneurer.
Secretary of State Dulles would like
to have ready purse big enough to
be effective.
At least he would like the Middle
East nations to be on notice that
he has a purse. That is apparently

million flexible fund he has asked

MIAMI BEACH, Feb. George
Meany is everybody's conception
Of how a labor leader ought to
look-a big. hulking. bullet-headed.
smoking fellow.
But George Meany, the mantle
boss of the l5-million-member ALL
CIO-differs from the popular con-
ception of the average labor leader.
He is blunt, almost painfully hon.
est. reasonable individual whose
blue eyes can be warm and pleas
ant If he likes you but cold and
distant if he doesn't.
Although labor unions have been
his lifetime occupation for nearly
a half century, he has never walked
a picket line. never ordered
strike. never been on strike. He
shuns force and relies on persua-
sion, negotiation and understanding
to settle problems.
He believes in labor's working
together with business and long
has advocated deeper under
standing between the two.
Reputation for Foirness
Perhaps his greatest asset is his
reputation for fairness with fellow
labor leaders. A recent incident
is illustrative.
Former AFL craft unions. prin-
cipally the building trades groups.
have been scrapping for decades
with former CIO factory unions
over which unions members should
perform certain building jobs
around factory sites.
Mr.. Meany was named to
three-man subcommittee to try to
iron this out-so far, incidentally,
without success. The other two
members were Richard Gray. of
the building trades unions, and AL
Whitehouse of the factory-worker
unions.
Because Mr.. Meany started out
as a plumber in the New York Bronx
and the plumbers union is part of
the building trades. the latter group
felt perhaps it could win out easily
with Mr.. Meany and Mr.. Gray
teaming up on Mr.. Whitehouse.
But this never happened. Mr.. Meany
is keeping Mr.. Gray and Mr.. White
house busy in constant meetings.
determined they will have to reach
an agreement on their own.
Mr.. Meany is a man of bold
action once he determines course
he wants to follow. The AFL-CIO's
current drive to rid its ranks of
racketeers is largely his doing. It
was he who wrote and got the ALL
CLIO Council to approve new
policy of compelling custer Of union
officials who plead the Fifth Amend
ment to avoid telling about personal
involvement in labor rackets.
Mr. Meany's determination in this
matter dates back to a similar
Florida meeting four years ago. He
initiated proceedings that eventual
ly led to custer Of the crime-infest-
ed International Longshoremens
Association from the old AFL, a
move that helped clean many Of the
crooks from the New York docks.
Meony Stonds Pot
Right now, the lila is making a
series of overtures to get back into
the organization. But Mr.. Meany
says he won't let the lila join the
AFL-CIO until it first expels all the
officials labeled as corrupt by the
New York Crime Commission.
Mr.. Meany's No. / aim in life is
to weld the AFL-CIO into a more
potent labor force. He wants to
end the jurisdictional rivalries
which have plagued unions. He
feels once unions stop fighting
among themselves they can do
better job Of bargaining for wage

By WILLIAM HINES

Defense Secretary Charles E.
Wilson took on an uncommonly
tough and. touchy adversary last
week when he characterized the
National Guard of the United
States as sort of foxhole for
slackers during the Korean War.
From a political point of view,
almost any statement in derogation
of the National Guard is likely
10 be very unwise," to use Presi-
dent Eisenhower's words. The
Guard draws its political strength
from the State and grassroots lev
els, and views dimly any threat
to its large measure of independ-
ence from Federal control.
At the time of Mr.. wilson's
statement. the Pentagon was agi-
tating for requirement for six
months full-time basic training in
the Army for Guardsmen as well
as other reServiStS.

attitude that without parity of
training. the Guard Of necessity
will fall behind other components
of the Army The Guards reaction
to this is one of suspicion-concern
that the Pentagon is attempting to
chip away at the Guards partial
autonomy.
