difference between the sharp, peril
nent questions asked by Reuther and
Co., and the rudeness of Mayor Norris
Poulson. Why isn't it proper to ask
Mr.. K. to explain the jamming of the
Voice of America?
On the other hand, 1 think the
AFL-CIO resolution asserting that
Khrushchev was, if anything, more
aggressive and menacing than Stain
showed a lack of discernment on the
part of whoever wrote it. Big changes
certainly are taking place in Russia

extremists is no reason why we need
blind ourselves to new realities.
THE PREMEDITATED
LOSS OF TEMPER
There were only two times, l think,
that Mr.. X. really lost his temper
First was at the National Press Club
luncheon when he was asked why he
was silent during the era of Stalin's
Grimes? The second was when May
or Poulson took less than 10 seconds
to greet him at Los Angeles airport.
But the outcry against being barred
from Disneyland was phony and am
inclined to think so was the belated
assertion that the musical "Can-Can"
was immoral dancing for the benefit
of decadent men. I'm the translation,
l noticed, the Soviet translator was
squeamish. He referred to "over-
satiated" men rather than over
sexed.) At least two of the CORES
pondents present during the "Can-
Can" performance said old Nikita was
beaming like any bald-headed man at
a burlssque show.

Ford Aims AT Overcoming

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.-(CNS)-
Thomas Reid, Ford Motor Company's
civic affairs manager, told a luncheon
club here that his firm is stepping
up its political activity. Ford's pur-
pose, Reid said, is to return politics
to the peoples and remove govern
ment from the influence of Special
interest pressure groups.

that Ford intends to launch a cam

new law:
Encouragement people within a
union are now given added opportun-
ity to present their point of view
potentially affecting the attitude of
the union as a whole"
CAN HEAD OFF UNIONS
''If your work force is not now or
ganized," Cherne advised his employ
er clients, "and you have good reason
to believe that most of your employees
would just as we'll do without union,
your chances of successfully fighting
off unionzation effort have now
been greatly increased
In general also, he wrote his eli
ents, eff you have a dispute with a
union. you will no longer have to con-
tend with the indirect pressure usually
referred to as secondary boycott"
AS for small and medium-sized
firms where employers and employees
alike were formerly in a "no mans
land" because the National Labor Re-
lations Board refused to handle their
disputes, Cherne wrote his employer
clients:
"Under the new act you really get
a break if you are too small for the
NLRB. In the great majority of states
you can turn to your local court for
relief. Your chances of getting prompt
relief there will actually be better
than If YOU could turn to the NLRB."
RETURN TO INJUNCTIONS
Zone reason why the unions OPP
posed this particular solution to the
mo mans land problem" Cherne
added. "was the fact that they fear
the conservatism of the average state
court judge and dread a return to
the injunctions of the 1920s."
Cherne also reported that many pro-
visions of the new law are directed
against corruption and that some ac-
tually protect union rights in certain
cases. These provisions were largely
either taken over from the original
Senate bill or inserted in the law by
liberal Senate-House conferees.
These provisions of the law drew
strong support from organized la
Dor during the long congressional
fight. What AFL-CIO leaders OBJ
jected to were the other anti-union
provisions of the law, whose effects
have now been analyzed by Cherne.

Dennison Appointed
Atlantic NATO Chief
BY the Associated Press


Admiral Robert L. Dennison
of the United States Navy was
formally named today to be the
new supreme NATO commander
in the Atlantic.
Now commander in chief of
United States naval forces in
the Eastern Atlantic and Medi-
terranean, Admiral Dennison
will take over the new assign
ment February 30. He will re-
place Admiral Jerauld Wright,
who will retire from the Navy
March /.
The forma al announcement
was confined to the NATO post
but the Navy said Admiral Den
nison also takes over from Ad-
miral Wright the command Of
the United States Atlantic
Fleet.
The shift in commands was
announced simultaneously at
North Atlantic Treaty Organ
ization headquarters in Paris
and at the White House.
1t had been authoritatively
reported earlier.
President Eisenhower asked
the NATO council to release
Admiral Wright from the posi-
tion he has held since 1854.

Agency officials agreed with
several speakers who cautioned
against building national
neurosis" against all adver-
tising and selling methods.
Abuses Confirmed
Mr.. Kintner maintained that
the abuses. despite their wide
scope and costly results, are
confined to a relatively small
minority. He reported that the
FTC's strongest support in
coping with abuses has come
from business itself.
He commended newspapers,
the radio and TV industry and
other media for efforts to elm
mate misleading and false ad-
vertiSing.
The two days of discussions
produced several specific pro-
posals for new or tighter leg
islation by Congress. Stanley
Ruttenberg, AFL-CIO research
director, suggested yesterday,
for example, that Congress
ought to give careful and SER
ious consideration" to possible
creation of a Federal Depart
ment of Consumers.
Mr.. Kintner and his fellow
commissioners did not indi-
cate whether they favored that
and other suggestions. or
whether they believed any ad-
ditional legislation was desir-
able.

that what the public needs most
is "an informed skepticism.
