Secretary Benson was the

Union Upheld
In Custer Case

The United States Court of
Appeals here today upheld the
right Of union officials to GUST
members with Communist af-
filiation. so long as such mem
bers are dismissed in accord
ance with union rules.
The Court OF Appeals took
this position in an opinion con-
cerned with the AL Friedman,
a st. Louis tool and dye maker
who was a member Of a local
of the international Associa-
ton of Machinists.
Federal District Judge James
w. Morris last year granted
Friedman an injunction against
his custer which was ordered
by the international president
on grounds the st. Louis union
member gave support to the
spread Of Communist philo-
sophy. Friedman's own local in
st. Louis had supported him
against the charge, which had
been brought by a member Of
another st. Louis local.
But the custer followed on
appeal to the International
president by the man tn a
brought the original charges.
Judge Morris said this pro-
cedure had not been carried
out in line with methods set up
within the union for such
action.
The Court OF Appeals today
reversed this ruling saying.
1.-THE courts should not upset

Is inconsistent with funda-
mental fairness, or was reached

nations wonder whether for
the sake Of relaxing tensions
it would not be advisable for
us to do the same.
What is actually happen
ing is this: The Chinese
Communists state their in
tentions to move out Of North
Korea. This means they will
transport their troops a few
miles across the Yalu River,
Just as II we moved troops
from the Union Station in
Washington across the Po-
tomae to. say. Alexandria or
the Fairfax Courthouse. In
the nearly five years since
the armistice was signed.
Peiping and Moscow have
not only trained the North
Korean forces some 100000
combat troops into an effec-
tive army. but have also pro-
vided them with the latest
type Of firepower and Jet
planes. which the Korean
Communist pilots can handle
adequately.
The United Nations forces
in South Korea consist OF
two American divisions: one
Turkish combat team. 1900
strong: a Thailand battalion
o. company strength, and
various and Sundry British.
French. Greek. and Ethiopian
detachments whose combined
force does not exceed 100
men.
While the Reds in Peiping
and Moscow have disregarded
the armistice clauses from
the first day they were signed
and have sent the latest war
materials to their puppets. it
was only last summer that
the U.N. high command in
Korea decided to renew its
antiquated equipment. The
two American divisions are
by way of being completely
modernized. The bulk Of the
defense force. the ROK di-
visions, has received so far
only a trickle. The Commu-
nists will be facing. after the
Chinese have withdrawn the
last man from the North
Korean soil. the same number
OF troops. The difference is
that the North Koreans have
far better equipment and a
larger number Of Jet bOmberS
and fighters in the IS new
air bases between the 38th
Parallel and the Yslu River.
If the governments Of those
free nations which have only
a few squads in South Korea
succeed IN inducing WASH
ington to follow the Chinese
Communist example. our d.
visions will have to be pulled
back thousands of miles to
Hawaii or to the American
continent. They may not be
an irresistible force, but they
are the symbol of America.
Mr. Chou's spectacular an
nouncement is thus consid-
cred by the State Depart
ment to be a neat trick.

President Eisenhower has
endeavored in his latest mes
sage to Congress to get away
from the phrase foreign aid"
and to emphasize mutual
security" as the basis for an
appropriation Of $3,942,l00,
900 to help fight the cold
war"
Lots of people have the
impression. largely from
critics of the program, that
the main purpose of the
funds is a sort of "give-away"
to foreign countries. The
President, in recommending
essentially the same compo-
nent parts as he did last year.
spells out in greater detail
the significance of the prof.
ect in terms of American
life. Thus he outlines what
could happen to the people
of the United States in the
event the mutual security
program" is not adopted. II
the program were discon-
tinued or sharply reduced,
he says the consequences
would be as follows.
"A severe dislocation and
basic impairment of free
world power.
"A certain crumbl in G,
under Sino-Soviet preSsures,
of our strategic overseas posi-
tons and a forcing of these
positions progressively back
toward our own shores.
"A massive increase in our
own defense budget, in

tions, necessitating increases
in taxes.
