Cuban Diplomat Says

A Cuban delegate to the Or

he was phoned last Sunday at
midnight by his assailant anG

Ambassador Carlos Lechuga,
chief Of the Cuban delegation,
that was to travel Immediately
to Cuba. I left then the prem

the orders"
After this phone call, Mr..
Hurtado related. he was ap-
preached by two Cuban dele
gates to the OAS and was
asked to accompany them to
his apartment to help draft a
paper.
There, he said, the assailant
began to utter threats and ac-

for refusing to go to Cuba"
He became violent and de-

ming enactment of the picket
ing bill last year as part of the
labor reform law. But parlia-
mentary complications forced
Senator Kennedy to drop it.
1t now is illegal for con-
struction unions to conduct
some kinds of picketing on
building sites. The statutory
ban on secondary boycotts pre-
vents a plumbers union, for
example, from picketing a non-
union plumbing subcontractor
if the pickets would stop work
by electrical and other sub
contractors who are not direct
ly involved in the dispute.
Construction unions, which
often deal with subcontractors,
complain that the law discrimi-
mates against them. President
Eisenhower several timeS-but
not this year-has indorsed
their stand by recommending
legislation to grant construction
unions a limited exemption
from boycott prohibitions.
Senator Kennedy's bill is in
line with the Presidents
recommends lions.
Senator Goldwater is a leader
of the fight against the picket
ing legislation. He denies that
existing laws bar legitimate
picketing by construction
unions. Picketing is perfectly
legal, he maintains, if the
pickets limit their activity
strictly to the employer involved
in the dispute.

The Republicans like to think
that both members of their
national ticket can cope with
Khrushchev. What they need
even more right now, it would
appear, is someone who can
take on Senator johnson of
Texas.
The Senate majority leader,
the least unobtrusive candi-
date for the vice presidency in
the Nations history. proved
awfully difficult for the G. o. P.
to negotiate with at the OPEN
ing of the Senate's summer
stock season yesterday.
Plainly the only man in the
chamber who had been re-
freshed by the pause for the
conventions, the Democratic
vice-presidential nominee put
on a dazzling performance in
which he was star, producer
and script-writer, easily steal
ing the show from both presi-
dental nominees.
Several Republicans pro-
posed that the laboriously re-
assembled troupe should follow
the script outlined in President
Eisenhower's special message to
the special session. Senator
johnson brushed aside the
Presidents scenario as if il
were an amateur entry in a
one-act play contest.

Later, he said he was

matically come out for all these
programs" Besides, the mes
sage had been plagiarized from

Senator Kennedy, Democratic

little hope yesterday that the

to consider and enact the much
more comprehensive civil rights

40 Nationwide organizations.

bilities of achieving effective

possible now, am sure they will
be possible, and that they will
be achieved promptly, under
the leadership of a new Demo-

Meanwhile, let us remember
that a great part of the solution
to these problems depends upon
presidential leadership. The
President has not acted on the
unanimous Civil Rights Com
mission proposal that he issue
an executive order eleven
months ago on equal oppor-
tunity in housing"
Republican Senators Heating
of New York and Scott of Penn

their previously announced plan
to introduce a Senate bill in
cooperating most of the civil
rights pledges in the 1860 Dem
ocratic platform.
They told the Senate they
preferred the Republican plank,

believe that, if any civil rights
legislation has a chance in Con-

This is, of course, a new role
