renewed hope for an early cease

For one thing, the Lehanese

fed up with constant danger, dis

dous loss in manufacturing, busi-
ness and tourist trade. And
United States reaffirmation of
pledge to support the government
of President Camille Glamour
with $40 million to $40 million in
financial aid-seemed to take some
steam out of rebel enthusiasm.
One of the burning issues in the
revolt also was removed. Presi-
dent Glamour indicated he would
not seek to have the constitution
amended so he could be a candi-
date for reelection on July "a.

At Ottowo:
Blunt Talk

Last week President Eisen-

aides few to Ottawa for some
important talks. Some aspects Of
neighborly relations had long
needed improving.
1t was generally agreed yes
terday in Washington and Ottawa
that the visit to Canada was a
success. But the most remark
able and surprising aspect of the
trip was the bluntness of the
Presidents speech Wednesday to
the Canadian Parliament.
The purpose Of the visit was
frank discussion" between Mr..
Eisenhower and Canadian Prime
Minister John G. Diefenbaker of
United States economic policies
which had caused considerable
irritation north of the border.
These included United States sale
Of surplus wheat in competition
with Canada, threat Of higher
tariffs on zinc and lead and q
limitation on West Coast oil i'm
ports from Canada.
"It is my conviction" said the
President, that for all our pres

ones, We will find acceptable So
lutions. 1t will take understand

ness to give and take on both our

phases that rather startled the
Canadians. They had hoped for
far-reaching concessions. Never
theless, almost the entire Cana
dian press commented favorably
on Mr.. Eisenhower's speech.

Last August, Jimmy Hoffa, in
the middle Of a campaign for the
presidency Of the giant Teamsters
Union, announced that, If elected,
one of his goals would be an ANAL
ganiation Of all transportation
workers In the Nation-truckers,
wGrehousemen, longshore m e n i,
seafnen, railroad workers and air
line employees.
But almost Immediately he had
TO backtrack with denials that he
had any definite plans to give
reality to his .grandiose scheme.
At the time he was facing his
sixth congressional investigation
and was under his third and
fourth major indictments. The
announcement was met with an
eloquently voiced disapproval by
Senator Mcclellan and others on
Capitol Hill.
Mr.. Hoffa, who knows when to
back up as well as when to surge
ahead, backed up, and nothing
more was heard of super-union
In transportation for IL months.
But a few days ago Mr.. Hoffa,
having beaten the rap on bribery
charges and Federal overlapping
charge and with the Investigations
behind him-for the moment, at
least-took the first step toward
formation Of his transport league.
At a meeting Of the Teamsters'
executive council here he an
nounced the founding Of the alli-
ance, which he called a "continu-
Gus and permanent conference on
transportation unity" Besides the
Teamsters, two other unions had
signed the pact: The International
Longshoremen's Association, the
outfit that inspired Marion Bran
dos movie about pier gangsterism,
ION the Waterfront" and the
AFL CIO National Maritime
Union, headed by Joseph Cur
ran, who, as a member of the
AFL-CIO Ethical Practices Com
mittee, was busy only a year ago
with the task Of booting the
Teamsters out of federated labor.
Other transport unions would
be invited to join, Mr.. Hoffa said.

OnCyprus:
New Terror

Violence flared anew in Cyprus
last week amid discomfort over
British proposals for joint rule of
the Mediterranean island by
Greece, Turkey and England.
-Four persons were killed Tues
day and eight died in rioting
Thursday and Friday. The new
violence has taken 40 lives since
June 8 and brought the total
number of deaths since trouble
first broke out in 1855 to 430.
Under the British proposal of
June 10, London would share SOW
ereignty over Cyprus with Greece
and Turkey after a seven-year
partnership in government of the
island. However, Greek Cypriots
are demanding union with Greece
and Turkish Cypriots favor parti-
ton.
Britain is now seeking tri-
partite meeting with Greece and
Turkey on the future of Cyprus.
Last week, Greek Premier Consta-
tine KaramanliS said his country
is favorably considering the talks.
Turkish Foreign Minister Fatin
Rustu Zerlu said his nation has
consistently pointed to the need
for such a conference.
The Cypriots were not quite
forgotten in these considerations.
British Prime Minister Harold
Macmillan said representatives Of
the Greek and Turkish Cypriots
would be welcome to take part in
the negotiations.

dustries are still subject to Cana
dian law.
The President said "close con-
sultation' on disposal of wheat
surpluses by the two nations
would help solve the competition
in that field.
AS the President departed Fri
day for a look at the nearly COM
pleted st. Lawrence Seaway
(built jointly by Canada and the
United States and the return trip
home, the United States had
agreed to review individual situ-
ationS in which Canadian subsidi-
aries of American firms are un-
able to sell to Communist coun-
tries nonstrategic goods because
of United States prohibition on
trade with the Communists.
And perhaps most important Of
all, the two countries agreed to
set up a Joint Defense Cabinet
Committee and the United States
made it clear that American nu-
clear warheads would be available
to Canadian forces operating
jointly with American forces on
continental defense.

terials. With transit workers out
and gasoline for private autos
remaining at storage terminals,
employees in most other indus
tries and businesses could not
reach their jobs. Without food
deliveries, the entire Nation would
face hunger.
Such a situation would not, of
course. give the transport strikers
merely q life-and-death power
over their employers: it would
also give them-and more spe-
cifically, Mr.. Hoffa-a strangle-
hold on government itself, for the
Government would be on its
knees.
This is the icy prospect, how
ever imaginary it might be, that
chilled the spines of some Sena-
tors and Congressman when they
heard Of the announcement.
For organized labor, the scheme.
might be even more far-reaching
in its effects than the 1885 AFL
convention which gave birth to
the CIO and 81 years of divided
labor unionism.
In the first place, it provides
the possible germ for another la
Dor federation that could rival.
and conceivably, could annihilate
the AFL-CIO.
There are no grounds for be-
lieving that it would not expand
beyond the transport field, for the
strategic position which is occu-
pied by the teamsters and other
transportation workers makes it
more advantageous for most other
unions to cooperate than to fight.
A good example already is at
hand. The Retail Clerks Interna-
tional Association recently decided
to end its long war with the
teamsters. The reason: The clerks
could settle their flve-month
strike against Montgomery Ward
with the teamsters on their side;
without them. it had looked like
a losing battle.
Mr.. Hoffa has strenuously de-
MED any plan to expand his
league into a federation rivaling
the AFL-CIO. The alliance will
charter no unions, new or old, he
has insisted. His denials seemed
more than faint echoes Of similar
denialS by John L. Lewis in 1885
when the coal boss quit the AFL
and set up the CIO.
More Immediately, Mr.. Hoffa's
plan will certainly result in re-
newed efforts to write stringent
labor restriction laws both in
Washington and in the State
capitols. Congress is not likely to
respond, at this session, but next
January there certainly will be
legislation proposed to place labor
unions within the purview of the
antitrust laws.

SEGREGATION STRATEGY
ChorIottesviIIe's School Selections


Mr.. Battle frankly admits that
the plan may not forestall the
closing Of some schools In Char
lottesville.
No Negro could get into q white
school without specific approval
Of the school board. In comply
ing with the court order not to
deny admittance because of race,
the school board undoubtedly will
60 as far as it deems advisable
to keep the races separate without
risking a contempt Of court cita-
ton.
Federal judges have indicated a
pupil assignment plan which
groups students on factors other
than race would be acceptable.
The school board could main
tain the status quo under the new
procedure and leave it to the
judge to determine whether the
assignments were proper.
However, if all 81 Of the Negro
students who have applied for
transfer to white schools in Char
lotteSville end up assigned to Me-
gro schools by the board, the
judge undoubtedly would take a
long look at the program.
If some Negro students do sift
through the screening pro-
cedure or are admitted to white
schools through judicial order.
the schools affected would close
automatically under State law.

of empire. Similar expressions
have been voiced Informally by
spokesmen for the Airline Pilots
Association.
Even among the others most
likely to join--the remaining long
shoremen on the West Coast and
the Great Lakes. and the other
Seafarers' unions-there are Diff
culties to unity.
For instance, the president of
the International Brotherhood of
Longshoremen (the "clean" union
of $4,000 members chartered by
the AFL when the lila was ex-
PEELED for corruption) says that
his union wants no part Of the
deal if Harry Bridges is included.
MIR. Bridges heads the West Coast
International Longshoremen's and
Warehousemen's Union, expelled
by the CIO for Red influences.
Mr.. Hoffa said that Paul Hall,
head Of the AFL-CIO Seafarers
international Union, had 'looked
with favor" on his super-union
plan. But the vice president of
that union. Morris Weisberger,
who is also secretary Of the
Sailors Union of the Pacific,
doesn't want to play in any game
that includes Mr.. Bridges.
Mr.. Bridges. to whom Mr.. Hoffa
said an invitation to join would
be sent, likes the idea, despite the
fact that he's had his share of
troubles with the Teamsters when
they were under Dan Tobin and
Dave Beck.
One of the biggest stumbling
blocks Mr.. Hoffa faces is his old
enemy, the easily provoked labor
statesman, George Meany, head
of the AFL-CIO. Mr.. Meany will
preside over a meeting of the
federation's executive council next
month and no doubt already is
mapping his -Hoffa strategy.
He is likely to urge harsh pun

ate who joins Mr.. Hoffa.
This, however. may not be easy.
for several members of the execu-
tive council. which includes. Mr..
Curran, already have agreements

In the end, Mr.. Meany may be
forced to take an action against
Mr.. Hoffa that could set of a
long. bitter and expensive civil war

BY PAUL HOPE
Star staff Writer

Virginia officials took a new
tack last week in an effort to
keep schools open in the face of
Federal court orders to desegre-
gate and State laws to maintain
segregation.
The plan amounts to a locally
administered pupil assignment
program for use in areas where
Federal courts have ordered de-
segregation. Its aim is to keep
schools segregated and open.
However, officials in Charlottes-
vile, where the program has been
approved, are not optimistic that
1t will keep all schools open.
There also is q question Of
whether the plan will be accept
able to the Federal courts, and
whether it can be applied to all
areas under desegregation orders.
Attorneys for the National As
sociation for the Advancement of
Colored People said they are
studying it, but have made no
comment on the legal aspects.
he plan was authored by
John S. Battle, jr.. attorney for the
school board, and son Of the for
ner Governor. 1t was not revealed
until after it was discussed at a
meeting of the State attorney
general and attorneys from the
areas under Federal court orders.
IN essence, the program Is de-
signed to keep Negroes and whites
in separate schools through an as
sienment plan which officials say
viii be administered on o non
discriminatory" basis.
The plan, which is being stud
aed by ofiicials In Arlington and
