Strauss Successor

During the height of the Senate
battle to unSeat Lewis Strauss as
Secretary of Commerce the nomi-
nation of Frederick H. Mueller as
Undersecretary was approved rou-
timely, without debate and with
out objection.
Last week President Eisenhower
chose noncontroversial Fritz"
Mueller to fill the cabinet vacancy
left by the enforced departure of
the controversial Mr.. Strauss.
The Secretary of Commerce is
a 65-year-old furniture manufac-
turer from Grand Rapids, Mich.
He came to Washington in 1856
as Assistant Secretary of Com
merce, a post he held until his
elevation to the UnderSecretary-
ship in June.
His nomination as Secretary is
eXpecte: to be confirmed speedily
by the Senate, which rejected Mr..
Strauss by stormy 49-to-46 vote
June 10. Mr.. Mueller, whose Selec-
ton for the cabinet post had been
anticipated, has been serving as
Acting Secretary since the depar-
ture of Mr.. Strauss.

POLITICAL UNIONS
It's All but Voluntary

approximately one-third Of the
total, came out Of Michigan,
highly unionized State said to be
under the political domination OF
Walter Reuther and his CLIO
United Auto Workers. Grand
juries refused to indict in most
of the Michigan cases.
Half Dropped
Half of the 80 union cases Ma
tion-wide were dropped because
political expenditures came from
so-called voluntary contributions"
to union political action commit
tees, although the complaints said
that in some instances union MEM
beers were either assessed" or
"pressured" into making contri-
buttons.
Largest of these groups is the
AFL-CIO Committee on Political
Education. BY 1854 there were Al
separate union political commit
tees" reporting contributions and
expenditures to Congress. They
reported spending more on the
election last year than all the
Democratic committees put to-
gether across the Nation.
The Justice Department takes
the position that these political
committees are not labor organi-
cations" as defined in the Corrupt
Practices Act, and therefore can't
be prosecuted. The Government
admitted as much in its brief in
the Michigan CIO-UAW case.
Our biggest obstacle is the use
of these political committees to
flaunt the law" said Government
lawyer. In most cases we inves-
tigated. political contributions
were made by a group which does
not come under the definition of
a labor organization as outlined
in the statute"
The statute defines labor Or
ganization as one which repre-
sents employees in bargaining with
employers over such things as
wages, hours and working condi-
tions. The political committees do
not engage in collective bargain
ing. They merely represent the
union bosses in the political arena.

CRISIS IN STATUARY

tank, is more shocking than a
jeep to consider. He knew 1t.
But what Of the squads OF other
generals? Will the sculptor, ring
ing his hands over the jeep
symbol, place them in chairs
behind desks on top of symbolic
Pentagons?
Victims os Well
These men are victims also, born
way too late. They did as much
for their country as those ubiqui-
tous Civil War generals, but they
all lacked something. 1t was the
horse.
Among the Presidents since
Wilson, only Franklin Roosevelt
had a feeling for immortality. 1t
was simple. He wore a cape on
the bridge of a battleship. In
London, his statue wears that
cape.
But all the others felt they
couldn't go riding a horse around
town. Not in those clothes. That
is, If they ever though about the
memorial problem at all.
President Eisenhower still has a
chance. He muffed one. He came
out with the Eisenhower jacket, as
a general, but then proceeded to
allow everyone else to wear one.
Even Pics. His symbol was lost in
a blur of olive drab. How a horse
would have helped him. Perhaps
it's not too late.
Even the field of labor is caught
up in the crisis. Because it seems
perfectly natural, Samuel Com
pers, who founded the AT of L,
can sit in his memorial in a frock
coat up on Massachusetts avenue.
But Jimmy Hoffa-through lack
Of a horse, a frock coat, a toga,
Just any old scroll even-would
have to be enshrined inside a
marble, semi-trailer truck. You'll
hardy be able to see him in there.
But its the only symbol we have
that is. the only one the Team
sters have.
What's happened? Could the
horse really have meant that
much to us? Have all our symbols
vanished in the dust?
Or is it the age of conformity;
an age in which people are afraid
to charge anymore, to take a
chance, to DO something symbolic,
to ride a horse, to wear outlandish
clothes and break the bonds of
gray flannel or drip-dry suits
knowing full we'll a sculptor can't
scUlpt the clothes of the day if he

because too many people would
say the bust was inadequate?
Yes and no.

paying a $40 hotel bill with 80
quarters. And it's apt to be en-
barraSSing.
Also, I've noticed some Cana
dams are registering annoyance at
finding United States coins in
change offered by Canadian store
clerks. know one Canadian who
makes a point of refusing to ac-
cept United States coins. He'll
pluck an offending United States
dime out of a handful of change
and hold it up.
Whats this?", he'll demand
sharply.
Why. 10 cents" the surprised

Nationalist Reaction
He is entirely within his rights,
although he is being perhaps a
bit childish in his extreme ma
tionalism. But he is also reacting
to an experience in St. Louis.
where he took Canadian currency
into a bank to be exchanged and
was laughed at for being so naive
as to expect the bank to pay more
than one good American dollar
for a Canadian dollar.
He was really at fault in st.
Louis, although he won't admit it.
He should have bought United
States funds in Canada prior to
entering the United States. And
Americans coming to Canada
should buy their Canadian funds
at home, rather than feeling re-
Sentful when a Canadian store
takes their United States dollar
and gives them change for 95
cents.
But Americans will continue to
tender United States dollars to
pay for their purchases in Canada,
so for the sake of better relations
with American customers, Canada
might be well advised to reverse
its decision of century ago. 1t
should revert to English nomen-
clature for its money. by calling
the Canadian dollar pound. the
half dollar a crown, the quarter
a shilling and so forth.
Then the irritation would dis
appear. Everybody knows that a
pound is worth more than a dollar.
Americans visiting Canada would
pay $105 United States for a
Canadian pound and think they
were getting a bargain!
In the meantime, however,
citizens of the United States who
plan to visit Canada should, as
already suggested, carry a station
wagon load of silver mot silver
dollars, please or buy Canadian
paper money in American banks.
They will still pay a premium.
but this way they will avoid the
embarrassment of having some
Canadian storekeeper remind them
that the United States dollar is not
everywhere almighty!
