but Mr.. Meany's middle-road
policies are expected to prevail.
Carey Warns Union
In fact, some members OF the
council may oppose any strong
attack on the Senate reform
bill. James B. Carey. president
of the international Union of
Electrical Workers, warned in
an interview that undue "tam-
pering" could kill prospects for
enactment of any anti-corrup-
tion law--and thus prepetuate
an issue that labor's critics
have used with telling effect.
Improvement in the employ
ment situation has taken some
steam out of the FL-CIO's
campaign for Government pro-
grams to promote economic
growth. Nevertheless, the coun-

Puerto Rican Gains
Mr.. Meany will report to the

this test of strength on the

The council probably will dis

on several pressing internal
problems. Maurice A. Hutch

tiers Union, is expected once
again to refuse to answer cor
ruption charges in person. De-

tons, organizing campaigns,
corruption, jurisdictional dis
putes and politics.
President George Meany will
submit a detailed--and critical
analysis of the Senate labor
bill sponsored by Senator Ken
nedy, Democrat Of Massachu-
sets. The AFL-CIO supported
the original version, but OPP
posed several key amendments
added during Senate debate.
Among other points, labor
spokesman charge the bill OF

bers would weaken legitimate
unions by encouraging dis
ruptive elements. The bill of
rights purports to safeguard
freedom Of speech, freedom OF
assembly. the right to sue and
other democratic principles.
Recognizing the appeal Of
any program labeled bill of
rights" AFL-CIO strategists
probably viii not try to kill the
concept entirely. Instead, they
are expected to propose re-
visions to circumscribe the
rights and thus make them
workable"
The AFL-CIO probably will
also call for deletion of a Sen
ate amendment to ban hot
cargo" clauses. Trucking unions
use ''hot cargo" clauses in their
contracts as secondary boycotts,
to prevent union firms from
handling the goods Of COM
panies engaged in labor dis
putes.
Picket Curb Opposed
Another likely target for
criticism is the Senate pro-
vision to restrict organizational
picketing. although this curb
is much milder than other pro-
posals in the same field. Unions
contend organizational picket
ing is a legitimate exercise Of
free speech, and helps honest
unions GUST racketeers.

ritorial segregation on racial lines.
Perhaps the most controversial
of all legislation contemplated,
however, is the stripping of South
Africa's ten million Africans of
whatever little voice they currently
have in the all-white Parliament.
Till now in a Parliament of
some $50 legislators representing
three million whites, there have
remained seven lone whites
charged with representation of
these ten million Africans.
Now the government plans to
remove even these on the grounds
that Africans will be better rep
resented through tribal African
councils which the government is
molding. The main criticism of
these councils is that they will
be headed by chiefs and attended
by councillors all of whom can be
dismissed Or deposed at any time
by the government and that they
thus may become mere tools of
the government.
Thus while events elsewhere in
Africa are producing black states

which the South African Parlia-

tip, the South African Govern
ment continues to labor over
measures which it seems must
deepen the cleavage between white
and non-white rather than build
some degree of compromise and
cooperation between them.

week to the presence of an able
and cultured Negro American jour
nalist at an American Embassy
party on American property.
The newsman in question is Will
liam Gordon, city editor Of the
Atlanta Daily News, who is in
Africa on an Ogden Reid Founda-
ton fellowship.
AS an American citizen he at
tended by invitation farewell
party in Cape Town this week for
American Ambassador Henry A.
Byroade and thus was the only
non-white present among some
two hundred guests, including dip
lomats and South African Govern
ment officials.
His omission from the guest list
would have been noticeable and
might well have drawn further
criticism from both leftist and
liberal elements in South Africa,
which have latterly been charging
that the American Embassy itself
practices segregation at it's social
gatherings.
The invitation of South African
non-whites to embassy social gath
erings would certainly draw strong
protests from the South African
Government, which indeed elected
the Soviet consular mission for
similar activities. However, the
inclusion of a Negro American
citizen was not viewed as pro-
vocative action by embassy Of
ficers, and South African Agri-
culture Minister P. K. lie Roux's
personal protest to Ambassador
Byroade thus came as strangely
surprising.

General of the Congress, reported
favorably for the inspection COM
