FACING THE FACTS
w. A. Robinson

an interest in world politics is
a barrier" in the way of or
ganized labor's march to matu-
rity.' AS a matter of fact, labor'S
interest in world politics is one
of the best evidences of a de-
veloping maturity. What hap
pens in world politics certainly
affects working men and their
leaders should not only keep
the rank and file looking at.
world affairs but able to vote
intelligently on issues affecting
world politics.
2. Organized labor will weaken
itself if it attempts to create ma
tional policy in areas (which are
not primarily the concern of Or
ganized labor. In both Of these
statements the editor seems to-
be trying to influence the mem
bers Of unions against their"
leadership. Personally, I doubt
that he can do SO by this meth
cd. The press certainly does not
hesitate to Create" policy and
I would ask the editor to name
an area of national policy that
should not be primarily the con-
Germ of organized labor as much
as it is primarily the concern Of
any other voters.
8. The editor accused Organiz-
ed labor of turning itself into a
political party. This surely is a
wall of fear and well should any
Republican editor scream when
he sees labor taking an interest
in. politics. Organized labor is
not partisan; it supports men
and issues but those men and
issues. that labor has a good
right to favor are Overwhelm-
ingly Democratic. Gwen Repub-
lican Dave Beck will support a
Democratic governor that he
thinks will fight a right-to-work
law
4. The editor outlines for labor
union members what he consid-
ers Legitimate union objetives."
"The formulation of labor laws,
he says, els labor's outstanding
concern" Perhaps the editor
would like to get union members
to believe this but he has start
ed too late. For many years labor
leaders have encouraged union
memerS to realize that they have
other legitimate concerns, a.
mong these are the support OF
hospitals, help for crippled chill
dren, public power, Juvenile de-
linquency, the use by industry
of all of Americas manpower
resources regardless of race or
color, the extension of American
democracy to all citizens, fair
immigration laws, organizing Of
the braceros, Point 4 assistance
to undeveloped countries, and
many other domestic and for
eign affairs that affect Ameri-
cans that earn their living and
pay taxes. Mr.. Editor, organized
labor is growing up and these
expanding interests of labor are
the best evidence of that.

lations Division thinks might be
Of general interest.
WASHINGTON = Congress al
ready has before it proposed
legislation which, if enacted,
would prevent repetition Of
many of the shocking diSclo-
sures of the Senate union labor
racket inquiry.
A variety of other proposals
undoubtedly will be made as the
investigation progresses.
A drive by the Administration,
the Mcclellan Committee, rank
and-file unionists, and the gen.
eral public probably could bring
about legislation speedily.
Bills with teeth in them now
pending in Congress include one
by Hiestand (R-Calif.) and an
other by Smith (R-Kan), which
would remove the present ex-
emption of labor unions from
the antitrust laws.
These measures are in the
House Judiciary Committee. Re-
peated demands for hearings
have been ignored.
The Administration is studing
the bills - Attorney General
Brownell has said that. But no
decision has been forthcoming:
There also is reported to be di-
vision within the Cabinet over
the proposal.
Passage of this legislation,
sponsors say. would greatly cur
tail powers of monopolistic un-
ions and their bosses.
Another pending bill, by Sen.
Goldwater (R-Ariz), says that
the Taft-Hartley Act shall not
prevent states from regulating
strikes, picketing and the like.
A measure by Sen. Mcclellan
(D-Ark), chairman of the Sen
ate racket investigating COM
mittee, and Rep. Smith O-Vao,
would prevent courts from in
validating state laws unless Con-
gress specifically occupies the
field. Courts increasingly say
that states are powerless to legis-
late effectively in the field OF
labor-management relations.
A bill by Sen. Curtis (R-Nebo,
would prohibit use of the boy
cott by labor unions to compel
employers to require employees
to join unions.
Another by Smith (R-Kano,
would amend the Taft Hartley
Act to prohibit compulsory un-
ionism. Measures to prevent un-
ion labor bosses from using union
funds for political purposes have
been urged.
Some members of Congress
fear that insufficient legislation
dealing with financial reports
may be passed-leaving the un-
MON bosses in possession OF
monopolistic powers.

| exact and critical needs that
have to be met. We must then
apply our resources at that
point as fully as the need de-
mands. This means selectivity
in national expenditures of all
kinds. We cannot, on an UNI
limited scale, have both what
we must have and what we
would like to have.
Other Science Roles
We can have both a sound
defense. and the sound econ
omy on which it rests-if we
set our priorities and stick to
them and if each Of us is
ready to carry his own share
of the burden willingly and
without complaint.
In conclusion: Although for
tonight's purposes I stress the
influence of science on defense,
I am not forgetting that there
is much more to science than
its function in strengthening
our defense. and much more to
our d defense than the part
played by science. The peaceful
contributions of science - to
healing, to enriching life, to
freeing the spirit-these are the
most important products of the
conquest Of natures secrets.
And, as to our security, the
spiritual powers Of a nation
its underlying religious faith,
its self-reliance, its capacity
for intelligent sacrifice--these
are the most important stones
in any defense structure.
Above all, let me say for all
to hear that, so far as we are
concerned, the a m a ssing of
military might never has been
and never will be-devoted
to any other end than defense
and the preservation Of a just
peace.
What the world needs today
even more than a giant leap
into outer space. is a giant step
toward peace. Time and again
we have demonstrated our
eagerness to take such a step.
AS a start in this direction, I

Twice-defeated Democratic
Presidential Candidate Adlai
Stevenson thought he detected
"a note Of complacency" in Mr..
Eisenhower's talk. But he well
coined the Presidents decision
to pool American scientific ef-
forts with the allies.
The speech failed to make
clear. Mr.. Stevenson said in a
statement from Libertyville.
H.. whether the President is
satisfied with our military mis-
sile and scientific situation or
not.
II am not" he added.
Republicans, on the other
hand, praised the speech. One
of them, Senator Javits, Re-
publican Of New York, said:
This is the Eisenhower of
the crusade in Europe. The
President touched all the bases.
This is a crisis. Cooperation
with our allies is indispensable
to the success of the free world.
Sacrifice will be called for from
all our people. The President
spoke with confidence that we
will willingly make it. Our
purpose is clear and our &C

More Defense Factors
Even in two talks I cannot,
by any means, cover the entire
subject of defense. but only
selected questions of pressing
and current Importance. Ac-
cordingly, I am not at this time
even abiding To a number of
key items bearing strongly on
defense. such as mutual aid,
and civil defense. Likewise ]
have not dwelt upon the urgent
need for greater dispersal in
the Strategic Air Command. or
for providing all the means that

It misses the whole point Ia

My subject tonight is Science
In National Security.
Originally this talk was to
be part Of one I intend to make
in Oklahoma City next week.
However. found that could
not possibly deal with this
subject in just one address. So
tonight I shall concentrate on
the most immediate aspects Of
this question of the relation
ship Of science to the defense
Of our country.
Let me tell you plainly what
I am going to do in this talk
and those to follow.
I am going to lay the facts
before you-the rough with
the smooth. Some of these Sc
curity facts are reassuring;
others are not-they are sternly
demanding. Some require that
we resolutely continue lines Of
action now well begun. Others
require new action. and still
others new dimensions Of effort.
After putting these facts and
requirements before you, I shall
propose a program of action-a
program that will demand the
energetic support of not Just
the Cove nm n t but every
American, If we are to make it
successful.

Parties Hail
'Do-Somethinq'
Attitude in Talk

Both Republicans and Dem
ocrats today hailed President
Eisenhower's do something
attitude in his speech on the
state Of American science and
security, but many Democrats
had reservations whether he
had proposed to do enough.
Even conservative Republi-
cans were accepting the in
evitability Of increased expendi-
lures, however.
Senator Bridges of New
Hampshire came out Of a White
House breakfast conference
with President Eisenhower pre-
dieting an increase of 81 billion
to 81 billion in defense spend
ing next year. Chances of a
tax cut are more dubious than
they were," he told reporters.
Everything Needed"
But he said he believed Con-
gress will appropriate every
thing needed for this missile
program. He is the ranking
Republican on the Senate Ap-
preparations Committee and
chairman of the Senate Repub-
lican Policy Committee.
The Senator also expressed
the hope that Government
spending could be cut in other
places so that the total could
be kept at about $40 billion.
Senator Kennedy, Democrat
of Massachusetts,, commented
from Oklahoma City last night
that his party could be expected
to rally behind Mr.. Eisen-
hower's "belated" move to
overhaul the Russians.

that President Eisenhower had

Here is a way in which. at nc
cost, we can dramatically and

Names Science Aide

AS to action: I report the
following items to you tonight.
The first thing I have done
is to make sure that the very
best thought and advice that
the scientific community can
supply, heretofore provided to
me on an informal basis. is now
fully organized and formalized
so that no gap can occur. The
purpose is to make it possible
for me. personally. whenever
there appears to be any unnec-
essary delay in our develop
ment system. to act promptly
and deciSively.
To that end, I have created
a new office. called the ONCE of
Special Assistant to the Presi-
dent for Science and Techno-
logy. This man. who will be
aided by a staff of scientists
and a strong advisory group of
outstanding experts reporting
to him and to me. will have the
active responsibility of helping
me follow through on the pro-
gram of scientific improvement
of our defenses.
am glad to be able to tell
you that this position has been
accepted by DR.. James R. Kill
liam. president Of the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technol-
ogy. He is man who enjoys
my confidence, and the conf
dence of his colleagues in the
scientific and engineerin g
world, and in the Government,
Through him. / intend to be
assured that the entire pro-
gram is carried forward in
closely-integrated fashion, and
that such things as alleged in
ter-service competition or in
sufficient use of overtime shall
not be allowed to create even
the suspicion of harm to our
scientific and development pro-
gram. Moreover, DR.. Killian will
see to it that those projects
which experts judge have the
highest potential shall advance
with the utmost possible speed,
He will make sure that our
best talent and the full neces-
sary resources are applied on
certain high-priority top-secret
items that. for security reasons,
l know you will not expect me
to enumerate.

tremendous Importance to this
country of our allies. Not only
do they maintain large military
forces as part of our combined
security. but they provide vital
bases and areas that permit the
effective deployment Of all our
forces for defense.
1t is my conviction, support

the Soviets are quite likely
ahead in some missile and spe-
cial areas. and are obviously
ahead of us in satellite devel-

that of the Communist coun-
