The comings and goings OF

high speed this week.
Last night, the Chief of the
Nays Bureau of Medicine

Mrs. Hogan headed the re-
ceiving line at a reception
honoring Navy medical Off
GERS here from out-of-town

other party at the Indian
Embassy but unfortunately,
because of illness, the guest
of honor, visiting Indian
Army Chief of Staff Gen. X.
S. Thimayya, could not be

Gen. Thimayya is in Walter
Reed Army Hospital, where he
was taken on Tuesday night
suffering from a severe cold,
according to the embassy.
The general had pluckily
gone through the first two
events planned in his honor
"a reception followed by a
dinner given in his honor by
Army Chief of Staff and Mrs.
Maxwell Taylor. But when
his illness became apparent,
he was taken to Walter Reed
where doctors have ordered
a few days rest and a check

Corruption and Union Funds

regard Of workers rights, and
some trade associations have
"conspired with unions to
achieve industry monopolies.
The report minces no words
on the misuse Of money. It
says:
with these incredibly
loose practices. the misuse of
union funds, including out
right thefts and borrowings
for personal profit. has to-
tailed upwards Of $40 million
in union dues money-an
average of IS out of the
pocket Of every member of
the. unions covered in this
report"
The unions surveyed have
2 million members and. Of
course. there Is as yet no way
of knowing to what extent
the same practices. prevail in
other unions. Hence, the
effort to put an end to the
investigation cannot but raise
questions as to what is
behind the desire of some
unions to bring about the
termination of the inquiry.

seven of the eight members of
the Senate committee signed
the report. They were Chair

Democrat; Senators Kennedy
of Massachusetts, and Erwin
Of North Carolina, Democrats,
and Senators Ives of New
York, Mundt Of South Dakota,
Goldwater of Arizona and
Curtis of Nebraska. Repub-
licans.
The official report, which
refers to the $40 million as
stolen. embezzled or mis-
used" reveals one Of the
worst scandals ever uncov-
cred in free America. It
shows the need for Federal
regulation OF labor : union
practices just as conspicuously
as the congressional in
quiries in the 1930s showed
the need for protection of
stockholders and investors in
corporations.

Soviet Restrictions on Ideas
Seen as Curb on Interchange

unfortunately we have no
desire to publish your letter

come an exchange of any
opinion between American
and Soviet writers but the
personality and writings of
Mr.. Fast do not justify es-
tablishing such an ex-
change. Our opinion re-
garding his conduct and

The letter is signed, "Act-
ing Chief Editor. v. Druzin."
I thank Mr.. Druzin for his
courtesy. but must admit that
this writer's overture is a
flop.
I have had to recapitulate
the essence of my column
and letter to point out that
Mr.. Fast was only an illus
tration. II there were or is

meaningful, deal with what
has always concerned them:
the human spirit, the plight
and transformation Of the
individual; conscience. love,
and freedom.
II we cannot talk about the
cultural mission Of the Gre
alive artist, how can there be
a cultural exchange?
Mr.. Fast could certainly be
dropped from an "agenda.
but this letter suggests that
everything Of substance would
have to be eliminated from
discussion between Western
and Soviet writers-recalling
the limitations put by the So
viets upon the foreign min

Congress With EofIy New Deal Flavor
Seen Possible in Democratic Tide

Next's November's election
contains seeds of change as
profound as those which
occur when the White House
changes parties.
The strong Democratic tide
which some fearful Repub-
licans believe will result in
the loss of as, many as 100
seats in the House of Repre-
sentatives can we'll bring into
Office a Congress with a
liberal flavor not seen here
since 1886.
Democratic gains will have
to come from areas outside
the South. If they are real
ized. they will have to come
from such States as New
York. Michigan, Ohio, Penn
sylvania. Illinois and New
Jersey. all of which have
heavily Republican House
delegations at present. Farm
discomfort is also expected to
cut into Republican strength
in Iowa, Kansas. Nebraska
and Wisconsin.
In the Far West the
Democrats. who improved
their congressional position
considerably in 1858 despite
the Eisenhower landslide,
may make further gains.

Little or Nothing Expected to Be Done
About Labor Rockets at This Session

malefactors in the labor
union movement. Only Fed
eral and State laws can
achieve that result. That's
why the legislative recon-
mendations of the Senate
committee are so important.
They include proposals for:
/. Legislation to regulate
and control pension, health
and welfare funds.
2. Legislation to regulate
and control union funds.
3. Legislation to insure
union democracy.
4. Legislation to curb ac-
tivities of middlemen in
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT disputes.
S. Legislation to clarity
the "no-man's land" in labor
management relations.
But. specifically, 1t is the
States which have been neg
ligent. They primarily punish
crimes involving embezzle-
ment, theft and misuse of
union dues. Here are some of
the findings Of the Senate
committee:
Constitutions have been
perverted or ignored. One
man relationships have
thrived. Through fear, in
timidation and violence, the
rank-and-flle member has
been shorn of a voice in his
own union affairs. notably in
financial matters. Use of the
secret ballot has been denied
in many cases."
Some Of the international
unions surveyed have "fla-
gravity abused their power
to place local unions under
truSteeship or supervisor
ship" and ''rank-and-file
efforts to throw off such
shackles have been ignored,
rejected and sometimes met
with violence and intimida-
ton"
There have been. more
over, instances of collision
between certain manage
ments and the unions in dis

in which Republicans now
have a l7-to-13 advantage
could see that advantage
reversed.
In the Senate races, 81
Republican seats will be at
issue as against IL Demo-
cratic. The minimum gain
Democrats are claiming here
is four, but the estimates go
all the way to 10.
If the Democrats could
manage to win 10 seats they
would maintain control Of
the Senate until 1962--bar-
ring acts Of God.
What is significant in these
Democratic hopes is that If
they are realized they would
result in a Congress with
something Of the complexion
of those in the early years
of the New Deal. 1t would
mean the end Of the Repub-
lican Southern Democratic
coalition which in varying
degrees has ruled Congress
since 1886.
Southerners would still
have their powerful chair
manships by virtue Of sem
iority. Nevertheless, legisla-
ton important to liberals
would have clearer sailing

than 1t has had in more than
a score of years.
Democratic optimism is
providing an immediate pay
off. Attractive candidates
are easy to come by. Gov.
Muskie of Maine has now
decided to run against Re-
publican Senator Payne,
for exa mple. Democrats
always have trouble about
money. yet here too the party
is no longer singing the blues
with such deep feeling.
Republicans, who got q
sharp jolt in last months
narrow squeak over a Min
nesota House seat, have
decided to avoid all special
elections possible. Attorney
General Rogers has poured
cold water on all plans to
appoint Republican Congress-
men to vacant judgeships.
The demand for such APP
pointments has been rising
as Republican election hopes
have fallen.
In Wisconsin, where there
is a House seat vacant from
the first district, normally
strongly Republican. Gov.
Vernon Thomson has re-
fused to call an election at
all for fear a Democratic
victory would give further
impetus to that party's
expectations.
