DORIS FLEESON

Gov. George Docking OF
Kansas announced Wednes-
day that he would run for a
third term this fall instead
of trying for the United
States Senate. Within hours
a whole pack of leading
Democrats were in full cry
after the privilege of oppos-
ing Senator Andrew Schoep-
pei. Wichita Republican.
The wheat farmers of
Kansas are in the van of the
Farm Belt legions who dislike
and deplore the Eisenhower
Secretary of Agriculture,
Ezra Taft Benson. The Dem
ocratic Senate nomination is
therefore deemed a prize
worth having.
Among the eager Demo-
Gratis is Mrs. Andrew Gray
who achieved fame when her
signature, which was then
Georgia Neese Clark, began
appearing on all the folding
money issued by the United
States Government. The prec-
edent, broken by President
Truman when he named Mrs.
Gray Treasurer of the United
States, has been followed by
President Eisenhower whose
choice is Ivy Baker Priest of
Utah.

Where does all this leave
employer-employe relations?
The majority justices say:
Our labor policy is not
presently erected on a foun-
dation Of Government con-
troll of the results of negotia-
tions. Nor does it contain a
charter for the National La
Dor Relations Board to act at
large in equalizing disparities
of bargaining power between
employer and union"
This plainly emphasizes
that employers and unions
are on an equal basis. Here
after, an employer may dis
miss any employe who en-
cages in a slow down or fails
otherwise to do his job, and
the union cannot rely on the
National Labor Relations
Board to be sustained by the
Supreme Court of the United
States by merely charging a
failure to bargain in good
faith.
To the extent that labor
and management are given
equal rights before the law
which hasn't been true in re-
cent yearS-the latest decision
could be salutary.

payers, sometimes. Take the
case of the New York Central
Railroad.
The Internal Revenue Service
concluded some time ago that
the railroad had overpaid its
l941-44 taxes by more thar
$85.5 million. AS a result. the
New York Central got refunds
credits and interest payments
totaling more than $86 million
This whopping transaction
came to light today in a list
of big refunds approved in 1885
by the Senate House Commit
tee on Internal Revenue Taxa
ton. The committee has tc
approve all refunds of more
than 100000.
The New York Central item
was the biggest on the list. IRIS
said it could not discuss details
OF the case because of legal
prohibitions against disclosing
the affairs of taxpayers.
Many of the listed refunds
Stemmed from tax court cases.
IRIS collected what it claimed
was due from some taxpayers
then had to settle for less and
refund the difference.
In other cases, taxpayers
were able to convince the
agency that they had paid
more than was due.
While corporations accounted
for most of the go big re-
funds in the tabulation for
the IL months which ended
June 30, 1858, some went to

Upset of Phrase as Vague Expected
To Encourage FHings in SIowdowns
DAVID LAWRENCE

The Supreme Court Of the
United States has tossed out
the window as unworkable
the abstract phrasing of
existing Federal law which
says both employers and
unions must bargain collec-
lively "in good faith"
The court said, in effect.
that the absence Of good
faith is too difIicult to prove.
Three justices-Frankfurter,
Harlan and Whittaker-diS-
agreed They contended that
each case should turn on the
evidence submitted, and they
urged that each case should
have gone back to the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board
for rehearing. So, while the
justices are unanimous in
rejecting the boards con-
cluSion in this instance, there
is a significant division as TO
what may or may not be done
generally under the law to
exert economic pressure"
while collective bargaining is
going on.
In the case just decided,
the contract between an
insurance agents union and
their employer had already
expired. Also, the employees
had customarily received no
salaries, but only commits
Sions. They chose, however,
to carry on what might be
called a showdown. They
ceased for a time to solicit
new business and, after re-
Suming such work, didn't
comply with the company's
reporting procedures. In a
sense. they violated their
understanding with the en-
ployer. who gave them exclu-
sive rights to solicit business
in certain areas on condition
that they would perform cer-
tain duties each day.
But the language of the
majority of the court is so
broad that it looks as If it
would cover even instances
where regular wages are paid
and the workers carry on a
showdown during a contract
period. Up to now the en-
ployers of the country, while
charging bad faith when
such events happened during

tiation, rarely undertook any
disciplinary action in re-
prisal, such as firing the en-
ployes involved.
What the latest Supreme
Court ruling may do is to
encourage employers to dis
miss employees who don't do
a full days work for specified
amounts of pay. II employers
had done this before, the
unions surely would have
filed with the National La
Dor Relations Board charges
Of lack of good faith during
collective bargaining. Now it
would appear that the way is
open either for dismlssals or
for suits to be brought
against unions which carry
on harasSing activities. In
deed, there might be legal
redress even when work is
continued in periods when
contracts have already ex-
pired, provided damage to a
business can be proved.
The significant thing is
that the majority Of the
court evidently feels that the
good faith clause is hard to
rule upon because it is a
vague phrase from which in
ferences are drawn that are
speculative. and because evi-
oence is difficult to relate to
good faith" or bad faith"
Referring to a previous de-
cision. the Supreme Courts
majority opinion says the
employer in that case could
have discharged or taken
other appropriate disciplinary
action against the employees
participating in these slow
down. 'sit-in, and arguably
unprotected disloyal tactics.
1t, however, adds:
But surely that a union &C
tivity is not protected against
disciplinary action does not
mean that it constitutes a
refusal to bargain in good
faith. The reason why the
ordinary economic strike is
not evidence of a failure to
bargain in good faith is not
that it constitutes a protected
activity but that, as we have
developed, there is simply no
inconsistency between the ap-
plication of economic pres

My purpose in using your

make this point: Consider
yourself fortunate in having

I am sure that he will do
everything possible to help
you.

inative. There is therefore
a good chance that he may
still hit on an excellent rem
edy for your insomnia.

not to have it removed.
Should I? also went to two

confused. What do you ad-
wise, DR.. Steincrohn? I'm So
years old and have always
been healthy. Nothing bothers
me. Sincerely, Mrs. H., Ten

Nevertheless, when a A.

causes repeated hemorrhages,
it is certainly better to re-
move it.

have had conflicting opinions.
Therefore. I suggest consul

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Pituitary Gland a Conductor
By DR.. PETER J. sTEINcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: Will
you write something about
the pituitary gland? Is it
important?-Mr. K. Massa-
chusettS.
CAN YOU IMAGINE an
orchestra without a leader?
No matter how excellent the
various musicians, they need
a guiding hand to synchro-
nize them. Well, where the
body's glands of internal Sc
cretion are concerned, the
pituitary holds the position
of conductor of the hor-
monal orchestra" In inf1u-
ences the activity of such
glands as the thyroid, adre-
mails. parathyroids, testes and
ovarieS.
The pituitary, about the
size of a f1nger-tip, is situ-
ated on a saddle shaped
cradle of bone deep inside the
skull. It's difficult to believe
that when this little bit of
. tissue goes out of kilter you
have your reason for the fat
lady in the circus, for the
dwarfs and for the giants.
The pituitary has much to
do with growth. We are
lucky that it performs a nor
NAL Job most of the time.
1t also plays an important
role during menstruation and
during pregnancy. 1t is the
gland that stops menstrual
tion after pregnancy is estab-
liShed; 1t prepares the pla-
centa. which brings nourish-
ment to the infant; it en-
larges the uterus to accom-
modate itself to the growing
child; it is the gland that
signals the uterus to start
contracting when it is time
for the baby to be born; it
prepares the mothers breasts
to produce large reservoirs of
milk for the infant.
Knowing many of the
functions of this gland,
ACTH and other prepara-
tions have been made from
this gland to use in the
treatment of various medical
conditions such as arthritis,
asthma and many others.
If it is true that many i'm
portant things come in small
packages, then the pituitary
gland is an excellent ex-
ample.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: l read
the recent letter from one of
your readers who was COM
planning of always being
sleepy. She doesn't know
how lucky she is!
If she had insomnia for
40 years like I have. she
would thank God she can
sleep. I can't, no matter
what I do. I've taken sleep
ing pills to no avail. There is
no medicine than can make
me sleep and I've tried all Of
them. I can't seem to under
stand why I have this trou-
BILE, because I have no wor-
ries. My new doctor has the
same difficulty. He can't
sleep, either. Zone would
think that a doctor would
know what to do for himself
under these circumstances

Every once IN a while our
big Angus bulls get into a
rip-roaring bullfight. Nothing
can stop them except our
main farm hand, Billy Smoot.
Without a club or even a
stick, Billy jumps in between
the raging brutes, scolding
them like an irate Papa, and
slowly the big bulls turn
away and head for different
pastures.
SOME FARMERS, I'm
told. use a pitchfork to make
a bull go one way or an
other. Billy never does. For
one thing, he thinks this
would anger the animal and
maybe make him turn on his
master. For another, Billy
doesn't want to hurt the bull.
So when Billy saw his first
man-made bullflght he was
outraged.
He saw it in our living
room. on television. Maybe
you saw it too-an hour long
film of the pomp and cere-
mony and gore of bulldghts
at the famed arena in Mex
leo City.
The toreadors and mata-
doris and picadors and all the
other dors were busy stab
bing the trapped bull, push
ing long spears into his
shoulders, tossing shorter
pixies into his ribs and stead
lily weakening him for the
kill.
Billy began mutteIing and
I realized he was roo ing for
the bull. The bull was stag
gering about the arena. He
had had enough of the tor
ture and wanted to get out
the way he had come in, but
he couldn't find the gate. It
was closed. There was no way
out except death.

screen from time to time to
explain the finer nuances Of
this strange pastime. He was
excited. He spoke of the
moment Of truth, when the
bull is killed. He spoke rap
turously of the type of pass"
this matador or that had
made.
I tried to explain to Billy
what is meant by a nuance.
ITS like going to the pig pen
and throwing the garbage to
them in q real nice way" I
said. mot just any old way,
but like a gentleman. Or
killing a hog with fihesse."
The matador was giving
the poor bull the coup de
grace.
Il can kill a hog what has
to be killed or even a COW,
but I CANT see no sense ia
KILN a bull like that just for
SPORT" Billy said. I couldn't
do it if'n you paid me to do it.
1T amt right" he went
on. 1T amt right torturin'
any animal thataway."
I think that Billy echoed
the sentiments of millions of
Americans who watched the
bullf1ght that evening. True,
many Americans delight in
hunting wild game. and shoot
to kill. But the birds and the
beasts have a chance to get
away. If the shot misses,
they're free.
BUT THE BULL is trapped.
He has a rendezvous with GER
tain death in the form Of
numerous gaily-clad, darting,
thrusting human tormenters.
Unless, of course, the bulls
name is Ferdinand, and he
refuses to fight. Someone"
