Governors Convene;

HANOVER, N. H., Sept. 8
(AP) Gov. Lane Dwinell and
visiting Governors from Flor
ida. Maryland and Nebraska
tackled anew today the prob
lem of shifting Federal Re-
sponsibilities back to the States.
The visiting Governors were
a bit storm-tossed. The last
arrival, Gov. Victor E. Ander-
son, Republican Of Nebraska,
came in by automobile shortly
before midnight, about eight
hours late, after an unsuccess-
full attempt to fly in from Ne
braska in a National Guard
plane. He was grounded al
Turner's Falls, Mass, early yes
terday afternoon by hard rains
and low ceiling.
Gov. Anderson took of again
30 minutes later, but had to
turn back, and made the rest
of the trip by car.

Republican Of Maryland, was
only an hour late, but he hac

WILLIAM S. WHITE
Invasion of Privacy AssoiIed

The Complaining Woman.
The Dominating Woman.
The Possessive Woman. The
Wife-in-a-Rut. The Bored
Woman. None of these. 1t
seems. will do at all.
The instance Of progress in
the art of advice and con-
sultation, like the scientific
progress so strikingly shown
in the "bubbletop" telephone
booth. might seem to some not
necessarily desirable prog
ress. But this, too, is rather
beside the present point: so
it. too. is put aside.
What is the point, then?
Why. it is that the invasion
of privacy In this country is
becoming so appalling as to
be almost beyond words.
The undoubted Constitu-
tional right to free speech is
being extended to . very du-
biously Constitutional right
to free looks-to peering and
poking into peoples private
lives and private affairs in a
kind of witless, unintentional
insolence. A less progress
sive" America would have
stood this sort of thing for Is
minutes-or make 1t 10.
True, we are accustomed in
Washington to putting the
private life of any President,
and the private lives Of a very
few other top officials, under
an endless public surveillance.
But they did know this t0 be
a part of the job. and they
are, after all, public officials
in dramatic places.
And even these, and many
hundreds of important peo-
pie indisputably paid by the
public to be public servants,
are thus far allowed to make
their own estimates Of their
wives-and even to use q low
visibility telephone.

Peering and Frying Trend Seen
Appalling Almost Beyond Words

The great triumph of this
extraordinary symbol of
progress" according to Q
photo caption, is that it pro-
vides maximum visibility"
To an unscientific and UNI
progressive type it would
appear that the principal
value Of this maximum
visibility" could hardly be to
the man who puts in a dime
to use the phone. Rather, it
would be to such worthy
strollers-by as might like to
watch him make his call.
This, however. is a slight
diversion from the point of
the moment, and so the
thought will be put aside.
Again, political Washing
ton. for all its sins, is hap
PLY much less unprogressive
than is big business gener-
ally in this: No wife here
must be analysed and
approved by her husbands
boss. The philosophy in BUSH
ness is that a man can't be
a good junior executive
unless his wife "fits in" with
whatever jolly sales task force
to which he may belong.
The fact that some top
corporation executives had
been providing this arrest
ing advisory service to lesser
and would-be corporation
executives has of course long
been known. But how very
helpful 1t has become was
only recently illustrated. In
a United Press International
dispatch a big business man
has kindly summarized this
work for the general public
by announcing several cate
gories of wives with which
business has completely lost
patience:

Senator Knowland has got

the Republican Party. IL

Liberty Party Of New York
State and could play q sig
nificant part in the political
debate that has arisen IN

Just been given the nomina-
ton for United States Sena-
tor on the Democratic ticket
and, after receiving his an
swers, decided last week to
accord him the Liberal Party
nomination. One of the ques-
lions reads as follows:
win you oppose 'right-to'
work laws?"
The answer given by Mr..
Hogan wins the prize Of the
year for adroitness and yet
directness. He wrote:
TRADE unionism has
brought great benefits to our
national welfare. I am un-
alterably opposed to right
to-work' laws which tend 10
impair the effectiveness of
labor unions"
Senator Knowland, who has
been attacked for his stand
on right : to work" laws,
could indorse every syllable
Of that statement. In fact,
that's exactly what he has
been urging - namely, the
passage Of "right-to-work"
laws that do not impair the
effectiveness Of labor unions.
Indeed. "right-to-work" laws
can definitely assist in max
ing labor unions effective.
For such organizations would
be stronger If they were in no
respect dependent on coercion
and would instead rest their
case solely on voluntarism.
The only "right-to-work"
laws which have been cham
pioned by Senator Knowland
are those which would not
interfere in any way with the

There is much that is wrong
with Washington as q ma

shortcomings are faithfully
and sometimes perhaps even
vehemently reported for. the

Undoubtedly, we have got
here vast numbers of Federal
bureaucrats whose logged
earnestness in annoying the
citizens of the Republic--with
billions of printed forms in

must be conceded.
And in truth we have got
here a center Of endless alarm

union Of his choice. This
would at the same time pro-
tect the citizen who does not
want to joinsa labor union.
For 1t would protect him
against any unlawful setup
whereby the employer is COM
PEELED to agree to fire after 80
days any employee who refuses
to join a labor union.
The late Sam Gompers,
father Of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor. wrote in his
biography that 1t is almost
tantamount to capital punish
ment II union officers prevent
anyone from joining Q labor
union who wants to do so.
That's because. as he said. to
be deprived Of a job In his
only known trade or occupa-
ton is to impose a severe
punishment upon anyone. for
it takes away his means Of
livelihood.
BY the same token, to
keep out Of a job q man who
doesn't want to Join q union
is an equally unjust infringe
ment on the right Of indi-
vidual liberty Of citizens as
guaranteed by the Fifth
Amendment as well as by
the First Amendment of the
Constitution.
The Supreme Court of the
United States in recent years
has been particularly Jealous
in condemning interferences
by either the Federal or State
Governments with the right
of a citizen to believe as he
pleaSes and to associate with
whomever he pleases. This
right Of association" has
figured lately in many impor-
tant decisions of the Supreme
Court.
Plainly, II a worker doesn't
want to join a union be-
cause he has conscientious
scruples on the subject and
doesn't. for instance, want to
see any part of his dues used
for propaganda or "educa-
tional" campaigns designed
to defeat candidates for pub
lie ONCE that he favors, it is
q constitutional privilege he
enjoys not to have any of his
dues money-his property
confiscated for such a pur-
pose.
