Pay raise sponsors say their
present nose count shows they
are about four votes in the Sen
ate and 80 in the House above
the two-thirds margin required
to override.
But pay-raise sponsors and
postal and employe leaders are
taking nothing for granted
Despite the optimistic outlook
they are adopting the policy
of running scared"
Consequently, the operation
override" ampaign has
reached a high pitch, with
members of Congress being
bombarded with tens of thou
sands of kilograms, letters and
telephone calls from their
postal and classified employe
constituents throughout the
country.
In addition, the AFL-CIO
Government Employees Council
which launched the operation
override" campaign, will bring
in about 5000 local union off,
cials from throughout the
country in the next few days to
contact their Representatives
and Senators in person.
Independent postal and clas-
sifled employe groups as well
are getting their members to
contact members of Congress
on overriding the veto.
The overriding campaign is
placing its greatest emphasis
on the Senate, since it is more
or less taken for granted that
the House will override the veto
easily.
In the Senate, only one-third
OF the members are up for re-
election, as contrasted to the
House, where all the members
are up for reelection this year.
Therefore, the Senate tends to
be a bit more independent on
the question of overriding.
Nonetheless, employe leaders
figure they have at least four
votes above the two-thirds re-
quired in the Senate. and per-
haps five or six.
But they are well aware that
Republican Senators are being

CSC Studies
DohertyAction
By LEE M. COIN
Star Stah Writer

William C. Doherty, presi-
dent of the National Associa-
ton of Letter Carriers, is under
Civil Service Commission in
vestigation for possible viola
ton of Hatch Act restrictions
against partisan political ac-
Itivity.
The basis of the investiga-
tion is Mr.. Doherty's indorse-
ment of Senate Majority Leader
johnson for the Democratic
presidential nomination. He
made the public Endorsement
last month as one of many
signers of a newspaper adver-
tiSement urging Senator John
son to become an active can
didate."
Partisan political activity
including Endorsement of can
didates-by Federal employees
is restricted by the Hatch Act.
Mr.. Doherty devotes full time
to his work for the Letter Car
riers Union, but still is a Fed
eral employe. He has been on
leave for about 20 years.
No Determination Made
Lawrence v. Meloy,, general
counsel of the csc, emphasized
yesterday that no determina-
tion has been made about
whether Mr.. Doherty's action
violated the law. He said it
would be unfair to criticize
Mr.. Doherty at this stage.
Mr.. Meloy said the case is
"Still under consideration" In
dicating that it may. take quite
a while for the csc to close
the case. he remarked that
we're not rushing into any
thing"
He declined to identify the
compl ainant against Mr..
Doherty, whose relationships
with the Eisenhower admins
tration have been strained re-
Gently. Mr.. Doherty helped
push a pay raise bill through
Congress over the administra-
tion's vehement objections.
An Investigator from Mr..
Meloy's Office last week called
on Mr.. Doherty to ask him
about the Endorsement. The
investigator also called on two
reporters for The Star to in
quire about a June l news story
about the Endorsement.
Name in Ad
Mr.. Doherty's name appeared
in the May 81 advertisement
without any identification of
his position with the union.
When a reported checked with
him he confirmed that he was
the listed individual.
Asked why he Endorsed Sen
ator johnson. he replied: Hes
always been my friend, and you
stand by your friends. He's
been a friend Of postal and
Federal workers"
Mr.. Doherty affirmed the in
dorsement and verified the
quotes in the news story when
the csc investigator queS-
toned him. He did not concede
any Hatch Act violation.
One basis on which he
might rebut charges would be
that he acted as a private in
dividual-not as a Federal en-
ploye or as head of a union
of Federal employes-in indors-
ing Senator Johnson.
Mr.. Doherty, who Is a vice
president of the AFL-CIO, took
a dissenting position in organ
lied labor when he came out
for Senator johnson. Other top
union leaders oppose the Texan.
They consider his record on la
bor issues unfavorable, and also
feel that he is too conservative
on other issues.

longer applies in the world sit
uation.
In the Communist dictionary
revisionism is a bad word re-
served for those who stray from
the true creed of Lenin and
Marx. 1t is the word used in
the Kremlin camp for Yugo-
slav President Marshal Tito.
The Chinese attack was in
the form Of an article by Gen.
Ii Chin-min in the official
Peiping Peoples Daily. It was
broadcast by Peiping radio.
Gen. Lii, a senior officer OF
the Chinese Communist vol
unteerS" who fought in the
Korean war. declared that
fighting proved that only IAN
eye = for eye, tooth for tooth
struggle against United States
imperialism" could safeguard
world peace.
The writer grudgingly con-
ceded, however, that. the United
States might be worn down to
a point where world war would
be postponed or even checked" T."
Aimed at Khrushchev
The criticism, obviously was
aimed at Mr.. Khrushchev, who
declared in a long speech in
Bucharest Tuesday that Soviet
policy will continue to be based
on coexistence on the theory
that war is not inevitable.
Lenin'S theories, he said,
were written tens of years ago
when the existence of a strong
Communist camp of nations
was not foreseen. Today's lead
ers, he said, had to consider the
facts Of the world situation.
His speech today was even
more uncompromising.
Moscow dispatches said Mr..
Khrushchev'S speech was dis
tributed there in full by Tass,
the official Soviet news agency
But not a line of Gen. Lis arti-
Gle was reported.
The article and other ma
terial broadcast from Peiping
never criticized the Russians
by name-only modern re-
visioniStS."
Gen. Ii declared that mod
ern reviSionistS claimed that
the true character of imperial
ism had been changed z. this
was to whitewash United States
imperialism. ;"
Struggle for Peace
The general added, accord
ing to the Peiping radio, that
modern revisionists, fright
ened out of their wits by the
imperialist blackmail of nuclear
war, exaggerated the conse-
quences of the destructiveness
of nuclear war and begged i'm
perialiSm for peace at any cost. -"
The article said that peace
can only be maintained by
struggle" adding that with a
fierce enemy like United States
imperialism, a head-on struggle
must be carried out to return
an eye for an eye and a tooth
for a tooth"
The New China News Agency
and the Peiping radio Joined in
publicizing another attack on
the revisionists by Lin Young
no, North Korean ambassador
to Peiping.
They said he sharply de-
nounced the revisioniSts "for
engaging in a vain attempt
to prove that the nature of
imperialism has changed and
that it will no longer carry out
war and aggression" said the
New China News Agency.
Far from attacking the So
Wet Union, the North Korean
envoy concluded with a re-
mark that "the great soil
darity of the socialist Com
munist) camp headed by the
Soviet Union and the peace
loving people is the guarantee
for smashing United States inn
perialist aggression and pre-
serving a lasting world peace 4"

Jimmie Gray Takes First Place in PineWOOd Derby

The Cub Scout PineWood Derby, with more than 30 entries, was held Saturday evening at the School Auditorium, witnessed by an enthusiastic audience of Scouts, their families and friends.
 The race cars made to special specifications by the boys and their fathers, were cleverly con- structed and decorated. As they sped over the race track, the ex- citement ran high, with Jimmie Gray, son of MT. and Mrs. Clin- ton Gray, winning first place, and Peter Otton, son of MT. and Mrs. David Otton, taking second place.
 The winner was challenged by last years champion, Lloyd liar dy, and two-out-of-three race was run, with the new winner, Jimmie Gray, still the champ.
 The judges, Don Perkins and Emily Boucher, said it was most difficult to choose the most attrac- tive and best-made car, as so many of them showed many hours of careful work and excellent workmanship Teddy Arnold's s highly polished red racer placed first, with Mike O'Connor's sec ond. Mikes even had tail fins and a windshield
 Starter for the race was Maur- ice Kelliher, with Cubmaster Doug Scott as announcer. Emil Kowal- czyk and Bob Emmons weighed in the cars, which could not be over five ounces.

WHAT ABOUT THE PARTY
PLATFORMS?

1t is an old saying, athe plat
form of a political party is like the
platform of a street car, of use
only to get in on" Originally, the
Republican platform was consid-
erably more conservative than the
Democratic platform, but at the
earnest solicitation of Governor
Rockefeller, the Republican plat
form was made much more liberal
| doubt if this will lose Mr.. Nixon
any of the old hard shell" Repub-
lican6, and it should secure for
him many independent votes. How
ever, we may now forget platforms.
The real difference between the
two candidates will be shown by
the speeches they make during the
coming. two months. 1t now looks
as if each will try to outdo the
other in the "giveaway" goal 1t
seems to me this may be known
as the great "giveaway" campaign.
where both the liberals and conser-
vatfves offer sugar-coated prom
ises to win the great independent
voters who may determine the cleo
ton on November Sth. I doubt if
the religious question will be a
real factor. The Florida vote will
depend upon what the respective
candidates promise to do with the

STEEL PRODUCTION DOWN

The nations largest u. S. steel producer,
u. S.. Steel, has announced greatly reduced
profits for the second quarter of 1860.
In addition to announcing reduced earn
ings the chairman of the board of the 1arg-
est steel company in the country announced
that total steel production in 1860 would be
far below earlier expectations. He forecast
lower production for the third quarter of
1860 than was realized in the second quar-
ter.
This means that u. S. steel production in
1860 will be far below that in 1859. The u.
S. steel industry is currently operating at
about fifty percent of capacity-while the
Russian steel industry is increasing it's out
put year by year.
This is explained, by steel officials, by the
claim that total u. S. steel capacity is greater
than the average needs of the nation. Some
believe, however, that an economy which was
expanding faster than our economy has been
expanding in the past eight years would keep
the steel industry operating at capacity, and
even perhaps force it to increase its capac-
ity.
Also, cause for the decreased demand
for steel is the infationary rise in prices
which has occurred in the last fifteen years,
which has resulted in the price of United
States steel being far higher than steel from
many other nations. Thus, in granting high
er wages, and then in increasing the price of
steel, the steel companies have, in effect,
priced their product out of the world market
to large extent.
The next administration which comes into
office in January, will have as one of its ma
jor tasks the problem of expanding the u. S..
economy at faster rate than it has been ex-
panded in the last eight years, while avoid
ing the ruinous effects of runaway infa-
ton. This, and adequate defense, are the
two main issues the next President will face
whether he be Republican or Democrat.

however small they may be--will

the other hand, those who do not
own any home and have no savings

siderable amounts on installments

even those who have large long
term home mortgages-wil vote
the Democratic ticket to sdepreci-

that our country is reaching a

result may be the appointment of
a dictator. or at least of coali-
ton government. Otherwise, we

of Communism. My grandchildren
