Power of Unions

Labor has become a mons
ter and it is time to curb
the power hungry unions.
They now have the upper
hand and can strike at any
time for apparently almost
no aSon whatsoever. I
would like to see manage
ment strike for a change.
What a howl labor leaders
would put up. 1t may be true
that at one time m ana e.
ment had the upper hand
and lorded it over labor.
That was unfair, but it is
also now unfair for the sit
uation to be so completely re-
verSed. Would that a happy
medium could be found some
other way or another.

Communist China appears to have pro-

former, to think in terms of an improved

if this materializes further, it will add

THE POLITICAL MILL
Labor Chiefs Seek White House
BY GOULD LINCOLN

Of the United States is being
undermined, ambitious labor
bosses insist on continuing
the spiral Of increased wages.
Senator Kennedy, speaking
last week in Reading. Pa,
asked his audience this glib
question: What would we
say if Khrushchev had been
able to destroy half of our
steel industry? We would
think it a disaster, yet Re-
publican economic policies
have resulted in steel produc-
ton of only A per cent of our
capacity" How naive does he
think the American people
are? He knows as well as they
that leaders of the Steel
workers Union, coming at
regular intervals, have forced
the costs of steel manufac-
ture to all-time heights. The
ability of people to purchase
articles made of steel in whole
or in part has been reduced
and the sale Of our steel and
products abroad has been
curtailed. Further, it is a fact
that, even with these hand
leaps, more workers are en-
ployed at higher wages-with
Mr.. Eisenhower in the White
House-than ever before in
our history. Nevertheless, the
saturation point of high pro-
duction costs and of the con-
sequent high prices is so close
in these articles of steel and
other materials that the
workers and their leaders
should beware.
If Kennedy Should Win
Where would Senator Ken
nedy stand if he were Chief
Executive and irresponsible
labor leaders should force
protracted strikes, Nation
wide in their harmful ef-
fects? Would he urge upon
Congress legislation to cure
or to prevent the virtual de-
struction of the economy of
millions of Americans? His
utterances do not indicate he
would. Nor did his course in
the handling of labor legisla-
tion in the Senate find him
anywhere except in the cor
ner of the labor leaders.
If Senator Kennedy is elect
ed President, his victory will
be due in major degree to the
efforts of the labor leaders,
to COPE, a political agency
of many of them, to financial
support of his campaign by
the unions. and to their pro-
grams to register all members
and get them to the polls.
Senator Kennedy'S victory
will be their victory and they
will constitute a tremendous
pressure group.
1t is time individual work.

thinking for themselves if
they are to protect their own

Power that costs nothing
and is lirnitlesS may be in
sight.
Direct conversion into elec-
tricity of the energy of sun
shine, especially the invi-
Sible part of sunshine, now
is practical. although as yet
on a quite limited scale. This
is reported to the Office of
Naval Research by DR.. Paul
H. Egli of the Naval Research
Laboratory.
Under special conditions,
DR.. Egli says, as much as 40
per cent Of the energy in solar
radiation striking a solid
surface can be utilized in this
way. He describes the tech
nique in its latest develop
ment:
"A very perfect silicon crys-
tai is treated with traces of
impurities that in troduce
extra positive and negative
charges on the two sides of a
thin wafer. These extra
charges remain on their own
side of the junction that
separates the two sides until
light energy strikes the crys-
tai. This radiant ergy
further disturbs the electri-
cal balance of charges and
starts them moving towards
the surfaces and the juno
ton. This current flow then
continues as long as light
strikes the crystal.
Physics of Process
1.-THE physics of this pro-
cess is reasonably we'll under
stood. Theory tells us that as
much as 25 per cent of the
incident radiation can be
converted into electricity
under special conditions pos
sibly as high as 40 per cent.
The best now reported from
the laboratory is IA per cent
and substantial quantities
can be obtained to give a ten
percent conversion efficiency.
The cells operate indefinitely
with no less in efficiency.
"These cells represent the
best available means Of pro-
viding small amounts of
power for satellite commu-
nications. The cells last so
long, actually, that a time
switch must be incorporated
to shut off transmission after
a desired interval. They are
limited to small power sup
plies, however, because of
their weight. Bare cells pro-
duce only three watts per
pound. In a satellite they
must be distributed over the
surface of a free tumbling
sphere, or a mechanism must
be supplied to keep them
pointed at the SUM-"

stresses, this sort Of power
supply weighed more than
1000 pounds per kilowatt-
altogether too much to boost
into space. An apparatus
sufficient to supply the
power needed for a modern
home would occupy 100
square yards and cost about
So million. This is out Of

reason, even for free power
forever.
There is, however, much
room for advance, the re-
port stresses. 1t depends on
developing more perfect
crystals and introducing
other impurities. Expert
mental apparatus capable
Of producing one kilowatt
has been reduced from 1000
pounds to 120 pounds-still
far too heavy to be prac-
tical.
A trench-digging machine
that digs a trench 2 feet
wide, 4 feet deep and 20
feet long in a minute has
been developed by Army en-
gineers.
Operated by one man, it
is capable of digging up to
a depth of 6 feet, but speed
is dependent on the depth
of the cut and the consist
ency of the soil.
Under favorable condi-
tionS, according to an Engi-
neer Corps announcement,
the machine can excavate
six cubic yards of earth a
minute. The speed is some
what reduced, however, in
soil full of rocks or roots.
This highly reliable, rub
ber-tired machine was de-
veloped in the Engineer Re-
search Laboratory at Fort
Belvoir, Va. 1t is intended
both for construction of
earthworks and for troop
protection in battle areas.
1t weighs, according to the
announc C ment, $4,000
pounds and is powered by
a 130-horsepower engine. 1t
is capable of travelling up to
80 miles an hour on an i'm
proved road.
Real Work Horse
"It is bigger and has
greater digging capacity"
according to the announce
ment, than an airborne me-
chanical ditchdigger devel-
oped by the Engineers more
than a year ago. The earlier
machine, however, had the
advantage of being air.
droppable.
But the new machine is
capable of performing all
types of army excavation
work. 1t can dig one-man
and two-man foxholes in a
minute under favorable con-
ditionS. It can dig heavy
machine gun emplacements
in a little over three min
utes and large horseshoe
type emplacements in five
minutes"
This is a very long call
from the wearisome pick
and shovel or bayonet
trench-d digging of World War
1. This was spared the SOL
diers in the second World
War but, according to the
Engineers, there is no GER
tainty the next world war,
if and when it comes, may
not return to the 1914-18
pattern. They will be ready
for it.

Senator Smathers said:
"A wholly disproportionate
share of the United States
quota in the hands of a single

country to use the premium
paid by United States con-
sumers to subsidize sales to
Russia and to Red China and
other Iron Curtain countries

Senator Smathers said his
proposal is not politically mo-
tivated nor a reprisal against
Cuba, although he said he
feels that some measures
should be taken to protect the
interests Of the United States
investors in that country.
The bill would make the fol-
lowing changes in present law:

Lawyers for the union argued

monitors, which was established
to supervise the union?
2. Should the union be al
lowed to hold an immediate
convention and election to
terminate the membership?
The Court of Appeals also

including purchases in all
FNNIA programs, said Mr.
Mason.
This amounts to about one
fifth of the total Of such loans

Budget Director Maurice H.
Stans advocated the adminis-
tration's proposed old-age
health insurance program be-
fore the House Ways and
Means Committee today.
Democratic members said he
did not seem enthusiastic about
the $500 million annual cost to
the Federal Treasury, but did
not oppose the measure.
Mr.. Stans was scheduled for
an all-day closed session of
questioning bout financial
features of the plan submitted
to the committee last week by
Welfare Secretary Flen1ming
He told reporters he supports
the plan as more practical and
voluntary than any of the 9TH
ers recommended to Congress.
Representative Forand, Dem
ocrat of Rhode Island, spon-
sor of a plan that would func-
ton through the social security
system. contended that the ad-
ministration plan would not be
attractive to most elderly re-
tired persons.
Higher Taxes EnvisiOned
The Forand plan would cost
an estimated SIG billion a year
and be financed out of higher
social security payroll taxes ~on
employees and employers. AL
though the Forand bill is op-
posed by many Democrats on
the committee, the social Sc
curity approach has consider
able support from Democrats
in Congress.
Mr.. Forand returned to the
committee hearings today after
a short stay at the Naval Med
ical Center in Bethesda for a
checkup and treatment of
arthritis. Commenting publicly
for the first time on the admin
istration plan, he said:
"A person IS or over to be
eligible for that program could
not have an annual income of
more than S2,500. But he would
have to pay a $24 enrolment
fee, and the first $3.50 of the
cost of medical care services
and then 20 per cent of the rest
of the cost. l believe most
people would not want to sign
