The Yardstick
AFL-CIO Marriage Not
On Rocks, But Needs Mending
BY Msgr. George G. Higgins
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Arthur Goldberg, in the con-
cluding sentence OF his excel
lent book AFLCI0: LABOR

vember IL release Of this CO
umn) confidently predicted:
Notwithstanding many diff
culties, present and future, the
AFLrClO is and will remain
Labor United"
Mr.. Goldberg undoubtedly
would say exactly the same
thing today, approximately six
months later. Nevertheless
there must have been times
during the recent AFL-CIo Ex-
ecutive Council meeting at Mi
ami Beach when even he found
himself wondering, at least
momentarily, how long the mar
riage between the two fedora

Honeymoon Wanes

a year ago last December end
ed unofficially several months
ago. but il wasn't until the new
ly.weds arrived al Miami Beach
in January of this year that
they began to shout at one an.
other within The hearing of the
press. Previously they had pre-,
tended In the presence of their
curious neighbors that they
were still madly in love with
one another, in spite of persis
tent rumors to the contrary. In

are deliberately playing hard
to get. Ii remains to be seen
whether or not they will effect
a merger before the December
81 deadline, jointly agreed TO
by the national AFL and CIO
when they signed their own
merger agreement in Decem-
Der 1858. If not, the parent or
ganization in Washington will
have to force the issue-by per-
susasion, if possible; by use of
the hickory stick, if necessary,
Problems Of Long Standing
These and most of the other
problems which were tn G
source of much of the pickering
and controversy at the recent
Council m eeti ng at Miami
Beach are problems of long
standing. They were not Gre
ated by the merger OF the AFL
and CI0 at the national level.
Both parties to the merger
were fully aware of their ex-
istence during their whirlwind
courtship. But rather than post
pone the merger until they
could all be solved-perhaps
for another generation-they
decided to take the plunge
rather suddenly and to hope
for the best.
The fact that the parties are
now pickering with one an
other in public-as though they
had unrealistically expected all
their problems to be solved
during the honeymoon-is not
particularly surprisingA IL

WASHINGTON - The ques-
tion of the control of nuclear
weapons, including tests OF such
weapons, is expected to be
prominently before the public
again in the near future.
The United States has an
nounced that it will conduct a
series of smaller nuclear weap-
on test explosions at the Ne
vada proving grounds late this
spring. Great Britain has ex-
pressed determination to make
a series Of nuclear weapon tests
on Christmas Island, ], 200 miles
south of Hawaii, early next
year. AS it has done in the
past. Soviet Russia is expected
to explode new weapons from
time TO time, especially if the
West explodes them.
When the explosions start
again, the question of radio
active fall out" from the tests
and the annihilating effects of
nuclear weapons If used in
war, are expected to be brought
up and discussed.
Leaders here and abroad
have said from time to time
that it is unthinkable that ma
tions would wage an atomic
war against each other, because
1t would spell utter destruction
for both sides. But us. Secre-
tary of the Air Force, Donald
A. Quarles pointed out in recent
days it was unbelievable that
any atomic power would accept
defeat while Withholding its
best weapons. Ii, in desperation,
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1957-02-22

the losing side resorted TO
atomic weapons. the winning
side would also be forced to use
them or face defeat"
II is said that the threat of
the use of modern destructive
weapons" already has made its
appearance in international di-
plomacy. A threat by Russia to
use long-range rockets launch
ed in East Germany against
England is credited here with
having done much to bring about
a cease fire in the Suez crisis.
II was stated here at the time
as known fact that Soviet
Russia has 700-mile-range rock
cts in place in East Germany
aimed at London and other
targets which are only 500
miles or less away,
Last november, Soviet Pre-
mier Bulganin sent to British
Prime Minister Eden a note
condemning the attack on Egypt
and saying: "In what position
would Britain have found her
self if she herself had been at
tackled by more powerful states
possessing every kind of mod
ern destructive weapons? And
there are countries now which
need not have sent navy or
air force to the coasts of Brit
ain, but could have used other
means such as rocket tech
nique."
The letter expressed the
hope that "at this critical mo-
ment," Britain would display
due prudence and draw the cor

Society Finds
Smoking Responsible
For Lung Cancer

The American Cancer So
ciety has issued another re-
port containing final statistics
linking lung c c er to
smoking.
A study was made of 1885,
600 men, fifty to seventy years
old, confirmed previous re-
ports that heavy cigarette
smokers die from all causes at
a rate more than twice that
of non-smokers.
The American Medical AS
ISOLATION was told by DR.. E.

Daniel Horn, that they have
clear cut associations between
cigarette smoking and a num-
Der of non-cancerous ailments.
For the first time, they said
they have pin-pointed cancers
of various organs showing
them to be related to smoking,
