Frightening Silence
Mr.. Martin does full justice to
the disaster. Perhaps he leans
over too much to correct the OPP
timism there was. The picture is
not quite as dark as he paints 1T.
In Atlanta great progress is
being ma de quietly towards
maintaining the improvement OF
the ten years after the war. Even
in Jackson, Mississippi, Negroes
who want to vote are not now
stopped.
And not everywhere are the
liberals cowed and silent. That
was perhaps the most frightening
DEVELOPMENT of the last two
wears: as in Mccarthy days the
liberals felt that to speak was to
commit suicide.
But even in the darkest time

Labor Chiefs
Meet foOut|aw

UNITY HOUSE, Pa. Aug. Is
Cap .--AFL-CIO leaders meet
today to spread tighter organ
lied labor's quarantine against
the Transfers Union.
George Meany, AFL-CIO
president, said in advance that
all AFL-CIO unions must end
their mutual aid pacts with the
giant truckers union. busted
from the Federation eight
m onths ago on corruption
charges.
Walter Reuther, head of the
United Auto Workers Union,
told newsmen he was confident
the AFL-CIO Executive Council
would vote to require member
unions to sever all ties with
the Transfers.
This is a crucial decision
with most AFL-CIO unions,
whose bargaining power de-
ponds on Transfers help in
respecting their picket lines to
cut off deliveries and make
their strikes effective.
The Transfers have been the
target of more than 10 months
of corruption charges by the
Senate Rackets Investigating
Committee in Washington.
The truck union. headed by
James r. Hoffa. has contin-
ued to cooperate with ALL
CIO member unions, even after
its custer from the main body
of organized labor. And many
AFL-CIO unions have I'M
abashedly accepted or courted
such aid.
Any formal cutting Of Team.
ster aid, as threatened here
could result in Transfers re-
taliation that would pit union
against union and dilute strike
cooperation.
The issue is whether the
AFL-CIO is willing to risk los
ing this help in dealing with
employers as the price of tht
Federation's avowed stanC
against union corruption.
| At issue also is the status o.
Maurice Hutchinson. an ALL
CLIO vice president and chief O.

House. Democrats and Repub-
licans nevertheless strove to
make the most of the 40 min
utes this afternoon to accuse
each other of sharp parliament
tary practice and politics-play-
ing in an election year.
No Rayburn Prediction
Speaker Rayburn declined to
predict the outcome of voting
on the bill, commenting:
"Everybody's been for it; now
well see how they vote"
Mr.. Raybvrn also denied re-
ports he promised Walter
Reuther, president of the
United Auto Workers, that he
would bring the bill to a vote.
Some Republicans have used
this report to support their
charges that union leaders are
debating Democratic policy on
labor legislation.
Republicans have complained
that such a controversial issue
should not be brought up on
the eve of adjournment. They
noted that the House Educa-

subject next January.
The system Of grading an
employe as satisfactory" "un-
satisfactory. or outstanding"
is considered meaningless by
most employees as well as most
agency heads. The fact is that
about SO per cent Of the en-
ployes are labeled "satisfac-
tory" since the requirements
for outstanding" are so diff
cult as to preclude most en-
ployes, and most supervisors
hesitate to label an employees
work unsatisfactory"
