Let's Curb All Abuses

President Eisenhower said last
night that the corruption and abuses
Of power" by some unions, as exposed
by the Mcclellan Committee, add up to
a national disgrace" Very few people,
the James r. HoffaS excepted, will
dissent.
Broadly speaking, Mr.. Eisenhower
and AFL-CIO President Meany agree
that legislation is needed to drive the
crooks out of the union movement and
to protect union members against GER
tain abuses which have been revealed.
But Mr.. Eisenhower, who represents all
Of the people, not just union people,
wants to go farther He thinks, and we
believe he is absolutely right, that leg
islation is also needed to protect the
public, nonunion workers and employ
erS. He has urged Congress to adopt
three reforms which the AFL-CIO OPP
poses. These are: ~ Legislation to ban
secondary Acknowledgements by Strik-
ing workers against companies which
are not involved in the strike. (2) Leg
tSlation to curb coercive picketing-
picketing designed to force an employer
to sign a union contract even though
his employees do not want to join
union. (3) Legislation to eliminate the
So-called no mans land in labor
management disputes This no mans
land results from the refusal, and in fact
the inability, of the National Labor Re-
lations Board to take jurisdiction Of
disputes which have only slight effect
on interstate commerce. The Supreme
Court has held that, under existing law,
the States are forbidden to handle these
disputes Mr.. Eisenhower urges Congress
to adopt legislation which will make it
possible for the States to deal with
them. They may be of small national
consequence, but they are important to
the parties concerned
Mr.. Meany says enactment of this
legislation would be a "blunderbuSS"
approach that would "infiict grievous
harm on all unions" He thinks meas
ure embodying these reforms, as we'll
rs some others, would place the union
movement in legaliStic Strait-jacket"
The best answer to this is that Mr..
. Meany'S predecessors said essentially
the same things about the Taft-Hartley
Act when it was adopted in 1947. Labor,
the country was told, had been enSlaved,
reduced to a ball-and- chain status. The
emptiness of those dire predictions is
abundantly demonstrated, however, by
the remarkable gains which unions have
made under the Taft-Hartley law
gains in numbers, wealth, economic
power and political influence. And the
same thing, we believe, will prove true
Of Mr.. Meany'S predictions if the needed
reforms are adopted
It is said that to attempt to deal
/. with secondary boycotts, blackmail
: picketing and the no mans land prob
lem will mean that no legislation will
be adopted. This may be true. Congress,
however, has an obligation to the whole
communicated just to union members
alone. We think it is better to try for
a meaningful reform law than to settle
for measure which will do nothing for
the public, for nonunion workers and
for honest employers.

@. What is an isotope?-
D. N.
A. Isotopes are atoms OF
the same element which diff
fer in weight. In some metals
aluminium and gold, for ex-
ample) all atoms Of the
metal weigh the same, hence
these metals have only one
natural isotope. Tin has ten
isotopes; that is, the atoms
IN tin are divided into ten
isotopes, or ten varieties" Of
atoms, each variety having
a different weight. AS found
in nature, uranium has three
isotopes. It's great impor-
lance lies in the fact that
one of these isotopes can be
split still further to release
atomic energy.

programs. and at times has
advocated tax increases on
motor transportation, when
such increases were justified.
We do not believe tax in

time for the reasons herein
stated.

Association.

I disagree with your recent
editorial calling for an in
crease in taxes to finance
the road program.
Congress placed the burden
Of paying for roads on mo-
florists, yet it only uses some
IS per cent of the money ex-
tracted from motorists for
roads. If this group is made
responsible to pay for roads,
then before levying additional
taxes on them, Congress
should use the money pres
emily collected in special
taxes from them. If all mo-
torist taxes were placed in
the trust fund more than
sufficient revenue would be
available and they could con-
slider cutting rather than in
creasing taxes.
The present dilemma is
due principally to the speed
up" last year as an anti
recession move. To compen-
safe for this a temporary
showdown" in issuing new
contracts would allow time
for the trust fund to catch
up" in revenue.
In approximately two years
the estimated cost jumped
from $27 billion to about
$40 billion. Congress enacted
a program Of spending SGT
billion in is years. It did not
enact a $40 billion 15-year
program. If costs have risen
so that the program cannot
be financed in is years, then
obviously the answer is to
gear the building to fit the
revenue-in other words a
Stretch-out.
Since there are many bene-
factors other than the mo-
florists = particularly defense
why not consider spreading
the burden? Our d fense
establishment spends millions
for constructing highways in
foreign lands, why shouldn't
it assume some of the burden
for our own defense system?
Even under present revenue
the road program will not
collapse. 1t will only mean
a temporary slow-up in new
contracts which will hardly
be noticeable over a 15-year
program.

LETTERS TO THE STAR
Commas and Goinqs of Nixon, Khrushchev, ct al.

I am glad to see this Nation
engaging in communication
with another nation. ! am
speaking Of Mr.. Nixon's re-
cent communication with the
Russian people.
Any person with foresight
knows that to resolve O prob
lem one must look at the
problem before he can do
anything about it. When an
individual is "out of commu-
nication" with another in
dividual. they can resolve
none Of their differences.
Neither can nations. Nations
are composed of individuals,
and only If individuals will
. ing and able to communicate
will do so. will all nations
have peace.
Nations (being large num-
bers Of individually must un-
derstand each other, other
wise they cannot get along.
Understanding is composed
of affinity, reality and COM
municatiOn.
We could say that commu-
nication is the Interchange
Of ideas across space. This is
what Mr.. Nixon obviously
knows, and he must know
that communication works.
Without communication you
cannot possibly expect to
have understanding.
Nations must communicate
with nations or nations have
no peace.

The Community Council

We agree with David Law
renee that it was too bad
that inside the United States
so much press speculation by
supporters and opponents of
Mr.. Nixon has been devoted
to the question of whether
his trip to Poland and Rus
STA enhances his 1860 politi-
cal prestige" This detracted
from the true Importance of
the visit-"whether the cause
of the Vests tireless quest
for a livable peace has been
helped"
However, since politics
is obviously in the question
to stay, we hope that this
new look in world affairs will
at least bury once and for all
that old political carcass our
So-called liberal" friends
usually dig up and try to
breathe new life into around
election time, to wit. that
conservatives" never try out
any new ideas.

completely Communists live
out their theology all the
time. They are not softening
up and changing their aims
just because q few Governors

their determination, we need
to live an answering theology

Eudocio Ravines, founder
Of the Communist Party in

exposed its tactics in "Yenan

rearmament can and must
make possible a new type of

to communism is the pres
ence of a strong and vigorous
theology. The next war

communism. This struggle
can never be won unless we
fight for the hearts Of men.
The only thing that can de-
fend our hemisphere at this
time when we face the great
est danger of our history is
theological armament. The
task for all of us is to promote
moral rearmament through
out this hemisphere and the
whole world"
