Work Rule CHANCES

Along with their money proposal
the companies insisted on the
right to make changes in local
work rules in order to promote
efficiency of operation and make
the wage hikes non-infiationary.
According to some reports the
union, in its latest proposal, sug-
gested that a joint union-man-
agement committee be set up to
study all the problems arising out
of present work practices and
those which may come from auto
nation.
Should the steel companies
and union report that they have
reached an agreement sometime
before tomorrow, there will be no
need for the special board to sub
NIT its findings of fact to Mr..
Eisenhower. If the negotiations
are again frozen the President
doubtless will move quickly for a
court injunction to get the work.
ers back on the job for 80 days.
There is another possibility. If
the contending parties feel they
are approaching settlement and
ask for more time before the
President seeks the injunction
which neither party nor the Gov
ernment desires-it probably will
be granted.
Evening star., 1959-10-18
Pressure Applied

The Government was pressing
harder than ever for a collective
bargaining agreement. But it
was repeatedly beginning to feel
that the strike itself was becom-
ing inf1ationary-loss of income
tax from wages and industry
earnings, rising costs of the steel
being produced by the 13 per cent
capacity not shut off by the
strike and of other replacement
materials and chain reaction un-
employment (about 225,000) in
industries dependent on steel.
General Motors already has laid
off 10000 workers and may have
to shut down completely by No
vember ! if steel supplies are not
flowing soon. With the situation
getting worse, time is running out
on collective bargaining. The in
junction is the last weapon left
to get production going again.
Part of the Governments reluc-
tance to use the injunction has
been the feeling that it will be
only an emergency solution, that
the strike might very we'll start
up again after the 80 days cool
ing off" period expires. The price
OF a settlement then might be
much greater than it is now. And
it could lead to stringent legisla-
ton, not to either management's
or labor's liking, when Congress
reconvenes in January.

But when hearings resume early
in November, The $64,000 Ques-
ton and The $4,000 Challenge,
both CHS programs before they
were dropped, will be scrutinized.
A subcommittee spokesman said
there have been indications that
these programs may have been
fixed.
Mr.. Stanton's announcement
may take some of the sting out
of the inquiry next month. 1t may
also take some of the heat off
the drive for legislation and for
FEC policing of television pro-
grams, a job the thought of
which makes FEC officials shud-
der.
Finally, the CHS action may
force NBC to follow suit. NBC
officials are facing some sharp
questioning when the subcommit-
tee gets around to pressing home
this question:
Where were you when all this
hanky-panky was going on?
Earlier in the week, Charles Van
Doren, best known of all quiz
show contestants and winner of
$4,000 on Twenty-One, ac-
cepted a subpoena to testify on

AS the deleterious effects Of the
Nations longest steel strike con-
tinued to spread and pressures
mounted from all sides on the
contending parties. the expected
break in the dispute remained
elusive.
The United Steelworkers Of
America and industry representa-
tives held an apparently fruitless
session Saturday night to discuss
the unions latest contract pro-
posal and management counter
offer. Both sides were to meet this
morning with the three-man presi-
Dental fact-finding board to re-
port the status of negotiations.
Named under the emergency
provisions of the Taft-Hartley
Act, the board has done more than
find facts. 1t has actively sought
to mediate the crippling industrial
conflict. 1t has pointed out to
each side where some "give"
might be in order. And it got the
two parties back to the negotiat-
ing table for the first time in 10
days late last week.
To give the disputants and it
self more leeway in time, Chair
man George w. Taylor asked
President Eisenhower on Wednes-
day to extend the boards life for
three days-until tomorrow. The
President obliged promptly. The
board originally was to have re-
ported to Mr.. Eisenhower last
Friday.

admittedly paralyzed in one i'm
portant area. On October 7, a
three Judge Federal Court in Louis
vile ruled that the commission
may not deny witnesses voting
registrars) the right to confront
and cross-examine their accusers
(Negroes who charged they had
been denied the right to vote be-
cause of their race).
The decision was based on a
Supreme Court ruling in the
Greene case last June that indi-
viduals suspected of Communist
sympathies or association may not
be fired from their jobs in defense
industries unless and until they
had been allowed to face their
accusers and question them.
Chairman John A. Hannah OF
the commission said he has urged
the Justice Department to speed
an appeal to the Supreme Court,
indicating that no more public
hearings on alleged denials of vot-
ing rights would be held until the
high court acts. If the lower court
is upheld it would mean, for all
practical purposes, an end to the
commissions activities in this
field.
Commission members, who con-
tend there is no conformation
right in fact-fnding hearings, feel
that if the voting registrars or
other State and local officials
learn the identity of their &C
cusers the latter may be subjected
to all sorts of abuSes-loss of
Jobs, physical harm, ETC., and.
therefore, the complaints would
cease.
The three-man court in Louisi-
ana addressed itself to the other
side of the coin, declaring in
2-to-1 vote:
IF the commission here finds
the charges against the registrars
are true, they are faced not only
with public scorn and possible loss
of their jobs. but also with prob
able indictment, arrest and prose-
cution."
An interesting twist in the stu
alton is that the Federal Govern
ment, in its unsuccessful defense
of its industrial security program
in the Greene case, pointed out
that it receives much of its derog-
atory information from persons
who give it only on the condition

TeIevision::
Whose Job?

The $64,000 question remaining
in the wage of congressional dis
closures of wholesale rigging of
television quiz shows concerns the
matter of responsibility.
Whose job is it to police such
programs-the networks them
selves, Government agencies like
the Federal Communications Com
mission? Or must Congress enact
special legislation to curb the
hoaxes?
Suggestions came last week
from members of the House Sub
committee on Legislative Over
sight, the group investigating the
program fixes. Government Off
cials and the broadcasting indus
try, among others.
The Congressman, generally,
want the FEC to take more re-
sponsibility and some lean toward
the idea of new legislation. FEC
and Federal Trade Commission
officials contend that the net
works should clean their own
house and Harold E. Fellows,
president of the National Broad
casters Association, agrees.
All this discussion of RESPONSE
bility provided a backdrop for a
dramatic announcement on Fri
day by Frank M. Stanton, presi-
dent of the Columbia Broadcast
ing System. In a ringing state
ment to the NAB convention in
New Orleans, Mr.. Stanton dis
closed that CHS was moving to
eliminate all big-prize quiz pro-
grams from it's network.
Although he contended that
CHS was duped along with mil
lions of viewers by Outside pro-
ducers," Mr.. Stanton admitted
that the networks had failed in
their trust and that the public is
holding them responsible for what
goes on their schedules.
Listed for early elimination are
Top Dollar, Name That Tune
and The Big Payoff. Others may
follow.
