Both Walter p. Reuther.
president Of the United Auto
Workers Union. and the
heads Of the automobile COM
panies today seem TO be on
the wrong side Of the dispute
about profit-sharing plans
for the employees.
Not so long ago Mr..
Reuther's union was very
strongly opposed to all profit
sharing plans. while employ
ers In various big companies
were sponsoring the idea.
"Profit-sharing." said the
monthly bulletin Of the
JAWS research department
q few years ago. ''is q step
backward. II brings another
uncertainty into the workers
life. II makes 1t impossible
for him to depend on the
money he hopes to get. and
on which his family Is plan
ming for the things 1t wants
and needs. Management peo-
pie know this is true.
Nevertheless. some en-
ployers who are for profit
sharing instead of q wage
increase. say frankly that
they want 10 make capital
lists out Of the workers. The
idea has q kind Of smell Of
money about 1t that attracts
some people. But workers
who have tried to be capital
lists In this way have found
that the idea Is strictly
phony.
TO hear management peo-
pie tell IL. when they want to
put over profit sharing. their
protitS depend entirely on
how much the individual
worker is willing to sweat. /.
ION what, then. do the
profits depend? Profits de-
pend. first Of all. on how
much the company can sell.
and then they depend on the
price the company gets for
its product. The worker has
nothing to do with either Of
these parts Of the job man
agement must work out In
order to make money"
Yet this very week Mr..

committee. was arguing that

The signing of the Ameri-
can-Soviet agreement for a
flve-fold increase in cultural.

sports exchanges Is described
by some enthusiasts in WASH
ington as an important step
toward Improvement Of our
relations with the Soviet
Union. Actually II does
nothing toward that end.
We love slogans and fire.
quently tend TO adjust our
policies In keeping with them.
Thus somebody has coined
people TO people contacts. :"
suggesting TO the harassed
American people that ex-
changing theatrical or ballet
companies. orchestras. singers
and athletes would bring the
American and Russian masses
closer TO each other. In that
manner the present tension
created by the Kremlin's
neo-imperialism might be
softened.
The idea behind these "cul-
tural exchanges" was that
the present conflict stemmed
from q hatred by the Rus
sian people for the Ameri-
cans. There Is nothing far
Their from the truth. The
Russian masses are generally
friendly TO foreigners.
There Is certainly less ma
tional hatred by the Russian
people against Americans
than there was before the
war by the French against
the Germans. And this prob
ably still exists. The bosch"
or "hun." to use only the
terms applied by the French

in price, making. He wants q
share Of the profits TO be
related TO consumers. and
urges q Government agency
to hold hearings and. in ef-
feet. regulate prices.
The JAW bulletin quoted
above goes on TO stress the
fact that profit-making Is
really q management func-
ton.
"A wrong decision on how
much inventory should be
carried by the firm may wipe
out profits. or q large share
Of them. no matter how hard
the worker has worked in the
shop. Mistakes In buying ma
terials. poor engineering Of
the product. or In picking
the sales manager-these are
only some Of the factors that
60 into determining how
much profit there viii be.
These are decisions made by
management. Under profit
sharing, the workers pay the
cost Of a bad decision. even
though they have no control
over how the decision Is
made. :.
There Is another reason
why employers want fiexibil-
ity. It makes 1t possible for
them TO compete for business.
and take the competition out
Of the workers pay instead Of
out Of their own profits. II
business falls OF. and man.
agement has to scramble for
orders, the company with the
lowest price gets the bust
ness. The profits haring
company can cut prices-by
giving away the workers
share Of the profits Of the
business. It means compete
ton by matching one group
Of underpaid workers against
another. and forcing each
group into lower and lower
pay. That's fiexibility. y.
Besides the fact that
America can't depend on
profit-sharing for purchas-
ing power when 'disinfiation'
begins. workers have q lot OF
personal reasons for being
against profit-sharins plans.

Harvey Potato Raising
Told In Farm Journal

The custom of raising two crops
of potatoes, one in Garrett County
and one in Homestead, Fla, every
year, came in for some publicity
in the Farm Journal, national
farm magazine, this month.
Y'he Journal article told Of the
increasing activity of some farm
ers who were growing two sets Of
crops, one up north and one in
the south. The article picked out
Earl X Harvey and his sons for
part of the story. They not only
raise potatoes in this county in the
summer but also in Virginia, and
then go south in the fall and win
ter for another crop. They have
a packaging warehouse in Virginia
where all their potatoes are graded
and made ready for sale. The
article about the Harveys is found
on page 46-D of the January issue.

Leniency At An End,
Magistrate Declares

Trial Magistrate Earl c. Friend
declared Monday that during the
week preceding Christmas he had
tried to be particularly Ienient
with those coming in touch with
the law. He had declared fines
and costs suspended in several
instances, and said he had made
it possible for several persons
who were confined in the county
jail for minor offenses to spend
Christmas with their families. lie
said he had been lenient if any
body had been arrested for being
drunk and disorderly
But it will be different after
New Years day the magistrate
declared. He doesn't expect to
have any pity on people who come
before him after New Years Day
on charges of being drunk or dis
orderly or for driving automobiles
while under the influence of liquor.

Ike Challenges
RuSsia'S Rulers

President Eisenhower called on
Russia's leaders for clear evidence
of Communist integrity and SINGER
ity in negotiations and in action"
to ease international tensions in
his talk to the nation on December
%.
He expressed "a constant readi-
ness" both for himself and Secre-
tary of State Dulles ito take any
conceivable effort that might real
istically help to reduce world ten
sion"
Eisenhower, with Secretary of
State Dulles beside him, issued
this challenge to the Kremlin in a
nationwide television-radio report
on the results of the Atlantic Pact
summit conference in Paris.
Eisenhower nodded approvingly
as Dulles turned a cold shoulder
to Russia's new proposal that a
special session of the 82-nation
United Nations assembly be sum-
moned to deal with East-West dis
armament deadlock.
The President charged Russia
with alternating between threat
and Establishment during past
years in dealing with the free
world. He then said TO bring
about such easing of tension, we
believe that clear evidence of Com
munist integrity and sincerity in
negotiations and in action is all
that is required. Only with such
evidence of integrity and sincerity,
and with the spirit of Cancellation
on both sides can there be achieved
definite beginning of progress
toward universal security and
peace, which the world so earnest
ly seeks"
"Russias words, pretensions and
actions" Eisenhower said, have
all failed to inspire confidence in
free men,"
