Common-Sense Ruling

President George Meany Of the ALL
Clio, arbitrating a rather absurd inter-
union dispute In the television industry,
has handed down decision worthy Of
commentator from both the industry
and the public. It should put an end
to a quarrel that had little or no sense
In the beginning, and which caught both
the television industry and It's audience
squarely in the middle.
The controversy arose between the
Radio and Television Directors Guild
and the National Association Of Broad
cast Employees and Technicians, both
members of the AFL-CIO. The chief
question at issue was whether program
director, belonging to the RTDG, had
the right to communicate directly with
the technical crew on production, or
whether such communication had to 90
through a technical director, belonging
70 the NABET. Mr.. Meany upheld the
RTDG in its right to issue instructions
directly, instead Of through a NABET
middleman, either during show on the
air or in dress rehearsal. A brief strike
and at least one disrupted show on the
NBC network took place during the
dispute.
The laudable premise Of Mr.. Meany's
decision was that both unions must rec
ognize a responsibility to the general
public az well as to the industry and the
union membership. maintenance Of
the high artistic and technical stand

The Bio A. Takes Oft

For the beneht OF those who NAV
have been doubtful, the successful test
OF our Atlas missile, even though It was
limited" test, means, beyond question,
that the intercontinental hallistic mis-
sile can and win be added to the United
States arsenal.
It confirms what the President said
after the Russians had launched Sput-
mix ]. Our satellite progress, or lack Of
progress, he said, is not to be taken as
measure Of our progress with ballistic
missiles. Similarly, the successful flight
Of the Atlas Is welcome antidote to the
gloom which attended the failure OF the
recent Vanguard test. 1t proves, at the
very least. that the Vanguard failure
does not mean that we are hopelessly
behind in rocket development.
BY the same token, this successful
Atlas test should not send US of on
another hinge of excessive optimism. We
have long way to 60 before we perfect
an operational ICBM. And when the
next tests are held. it may be the VAN
guard which succeeds and the Atlas
which fails. Nevertheless, 1t Is clear
enough, or so 1t seems to us, that the
basic problems have been solved, and
that, given enough hard work, we viii
have our satellite in orbit and our inter-
continental missile, too.
1t Is In this respect that the hear
ings by Senator Johnson's subcommittee
have been most useful. We ind It DIM
cult to reconcile some Of the testimony
which the committee has received from
various witnesses. But there can be no
question about the central point which
has been established-the need to bear
down hard on all Of the programs de-
signed to strengthen and maintain our
relative military position. The hearings,
before they are finally concluded. will
be productive Of more than this. But
this. standing alone, constitutes an i'm
portant boost to what, in some respects,
had been tagging defense effort.

Auto Taxes in Foirfcx

Seemingly, the Board Of
Supervisors Of Fairfax Coun-
ty and the county executive
do not believe what q large
percentage Of the voters Of
the county told them earlier
this year: That they wanted
no part Of an automobile IL
cense tax increase which was
not TO be used at all for high
way purposes.
The papers indicate that
because Of the ever-increas-
ing desire on the part Of the
county manager to build UP
his budget. the board will
hold q public hearing on
January % at 7 pm. TO In
crease the automobile license
tax from So TO $40.
AS a resident and taxpayer
Of Fairfax County, / protest
vigorously this imposition
being forced upon citizens
groups TO take the time TO re-
appear and restate all Of the
arguments that were made
early this year against the
tax and which resulted in the
board voting not TO increase
1t. This action is manifestly
unfair 70 the taxpayers OF
the county and Is. In my
opinion. In complete dis
regard Of the already ex-
pressed sentiments OF the
majority Of the citizens.

Threat

With reference to the COM
ing increase In taxes to sup
port the missile program, 1t
would appear urgent that
wage increases to cushion the
cut in take home" pay be
explicitly ruled out.
Otherwise there VIII follow
more imitation. This will
make the missile program
cost considerably more than
had been planned. which will
necessitate another tax in
crease. If salaries went up
with the first increase in
taxes. they'll go up with the
second. third. etc. and the
whole thing will get the
momentum of a SNOWFALL
rolling down hill.
Many people believe that
Russia hopes that sort of
thing will ruin the United
States. so they can take over
without a war.

Question (Mr. HacertvJ:. I've no

stun about the way ! answer questions
delving into the minutiae involved In
the daily life Of The Boss.
Q. Minutiae? What's that mean2
A. guess, it's a pretty fancy word.
From the Latin. think. II means little
details. like when The Boss goes TO bed,
how many blankets he sleeps under, what
his dreams are, whether he snores, and
all that sort Of thing.
Q. So?
A. So this Buchwald character.
who's supposed TO be a humorist, writes
column about some of my answers re-
earding The Boss. Maybe he thought
1t was funny. but didn't. Just blew
my top.
Q. Blew what?
A. MY top Qaughter). What mean
Is, got sort Of angry and called a spe-
cial conference TO tell everybody what
really thought Of Buchwald and his un-
adulterated rot.
Q. Unadulterated?
A. Well, maybe that was too strong
q word. but that's how felt, anyhow.
Ill admit, though. that maybe II was
only adulterated rot
Q. Frankly. Jim. find Art pretty
amusing at times. Has II occurred TO
you that he may have been spoofing
your questioners more than you?
A. No. not to my knowledge. No,
that hasn't occurred to me. Probably
It's something I should null over.
Q. Well, would II were you. And
by the way. Jim. is II true that The Boss
got big laugh out Of the whole business
and advised you TO simmer down?
A. Excuse me. Mr.. Hagerty, but
don't propose 10 tell you things that are
In strictest confidence between me and
The Boss.
Q. oh. I didn't mean TO pry. But
take tip from rle--simmer down. boy.
A. Thank you, Mr.. Hagerty. May !
say In parting, however, that I'm re-
minded now Of what viii Rogers once

number of these sick veter-
ans, including myself, have
no income other than the

is taken away 1t will mean a

not that these veterans are

After the war, he was presi-

he could make q strong run

Polls that have been taken
privately among voters, it is
said, indicate he has much

party leaders have not so far
welcomed his candidacy. Mr..

stronger than some observers

will make a decision In
the matter Of running for

probability the candidate or

We veteran Alaskans who
feel that Alaska Is not ready
for statehood because It does
not have q self-sustained
economy hope that our mes
sage does get through to the
President. America cannot
now afford to have Alaska.
its last and only true line Of
defense. in the hands of a
bankrupt State governed by
inept politiciansl
The tragedy Of Alaska to-
day is inept politicians and
an inflated population of
temporary citizens who have
come to US since the war.
They have the openly avowed
intention OF making as much
money. rs they can and then
to return to their homes in
other parts of the world to
invest and enjoy II. They
have little or no interest In
or understanding Of Alaska's
long-range problems. They
have known Alaska only un-
der boom conditions. These
hyphenated citizens are the
ones who have been and
are now the most vociferous
and aggressive in promoting
statehood.
The only real stronghold
OF the statehood movement Is
found In the town Of Anchor
age. Eighty per cent Of the
population Of Anchorage is
composed Of the temporary
type Of citizens. The predom-
mating stronghold Of anti
statehood Is found with the
longtime resident Alaskans
who live for the most part In
the smaller towns and hinter-
lands. Because OF the vast
ness Of the Territory 1t is
hard for us to communicate
and organize. That Is the
main reason the voice Of
antistatehood has not been
more commanding.

Missiles for NATO

An agreement, apparently more one
OF principle than substance, has been
reached on the question Of setting up
missile bases in NATO countries. It win
be some time before anyone knows lust
what the agreement means or how firm
1t is. This w.t. be determined in very
large degree by the fruitfulness or other
wise OF the prospective negotiations with
Russia.
Fortunately, there is time for a little
stalling. It win be about Is months
before the bases, stocked with missiles.
could come into being. OF course, arm
agreements to establish the bases cannot
walt that long. But they can wait
little while, and in the meantime Il
may be possible to get some idea
whether the Russians at last want to
negotiate in good faith.
The actual establishment Of the
missile bases, or even a definite and
final agreement to set them up, would
tend, We think, to destroy hope Of sue
ceSsful negotiation. But the prospect
that such an agreement will be reached
could have a different result.
II the Russians do not want to find
themselves ringed with missile bases,
as they already are ringed with air bases,
there should be strong incentive for
them to sit down and talk business. II
an East-West agreement offering some
real hope Of abating the cold war should
be reached. few countries In Western
Europe would want to go ahead with a
program to set up the bases. On the
other hand, II no such agreement ma
terializes, then 1t seems to US that the
bases will have to be established as q
sort Of last-ditch effort at self-preser-
vation. This must be perfectly evident
to the Kremlin leaders, and II so the
moment may be at hand when the
world will move away from, instead of
closer to, the final disaster Of nuclear
war.
It is reported from Paris that the
United States agreed to sound out the
Russians under pressure from our NATo
partners and as the price which had to
be paid for whatever kind Of missile
base agreement has been reached. II
this Is true we hope 1t does not mean
that our approach to negotiation, our
future reaction to the recent Bulganin
letter, will be grudging and half-hearted.
The processes of negotiation win
offer very little hope after the nations
Of the world find themselves looking
down the threats Of deadly missiles
poised just across their borders and only
minutes away from their homes and
cities. BY that time 1t may be too late.
So we hope that our own Government
will do two things. First, we hope it
will close its ears to the babbling Of
those who say that 1t is impossible to
negotiate with the Russians, and who
must, therefore, If they have thought
the thing through, or II they can think
at all, be prepared to accept the frightful
consequences Of a nuclear war. Sec
ondly, we hope that the representatives
of our Government will try harder than
ever before to find a decent basis on
which real negotiations can be con-
Quoted. We do not agree with those
self-styled "realists" who say this can
not be done. We think 1t can be done,
and that 1t must be done.
