Political Memo
From G o pc
Full Support Asked of ALL
CLIO Members

The AFL-CIO General Board has
urged all AFL-CIO members to
give the Democratic Presidential
and Vice Presidential ticket of Sens.
John Kennedy and Lydon Johnson
full and unstinting support" The
General Board-consisting of the
representatives of the Federation's
Executive Council, 1874 affiliated
unions, and trade and industrial
departments enthusiastically"
endorsed Kennedy and Johnson on
August 26. The endorsement fol-
low the Executive Councils recon-
mendation in statement analyzing
and summarizing the Democratic
and Republican platform and the
voting records of the candidates.
Vice-President Richard Nixon and
Cabot Lodge, the Republican can
didates, have both served in the
Senate. Nixon also was a Member
of the House from 1947-50.
According to the records, COM
piled by COPE and which go back
to 1947, on 1872 key votes Kennedy
! voted fright" from organized
labor's viewpoint on 120, or on 98.4
per cent of them, and wrong" on
only 2, or on 1.6 per cent. On the
other hand, Nixon voted fright"
only 10 times on 50 key votes, or
on 14k per cent, and wrong" So
times, or on 8511 per cent.
The General Board pointed out
that ION almost every issue be-
tween the money interest and the
peoples interest-housing, schools,
health and all the rest-Kennedy
voted with the people, Nixon voted
against the people" 1t noted that
Nixon's record as a partisan cam
paigner both for himself and the
national ticket raised grave ques-
tions of his fitness" 1t added:
"Quibbles over precise wording
cannot conceal the fact that Nix
on impugned the loyalty Of a Con-
gresham, nominee of the Senate,
Secretary of State and a Presi-
dent of the United States in his
various electoral adventures. Since
he is neither naive nor uniformed,
; we must conclude he knew in every
case. We find it difficult to at
tribute such conduct to youthful
exuberance"
Fair Enough - But Does He
Really Mean 1t?
~ ask you all not to vote on the
basis of age, religion, personality
or party label but rather on the
basis of where the candidates stand
on the great issues" - Richard
Nixon in speech at Atlanta, Ca,
August 26. Does that mean Nixon
will repudiate the support he gets

ed to the AFL-CIO General Board

national and international union
participate fully in the AFL-CIO

platforms, party performance and
candidates voting records submit
ted to this meeting of the General
Board be given the widest possible
circulation among union members
and the American people as a
whole.
3. That a more intensive effort
than ever before be made to col
lect 81 voluntary contributions
from union members for the SUP

Good For Business?
If there's one tune that the Rep
ublicans chant over and over 1t is
that the Eisenhower Nixon Admin
istration has been good for busi-
ness. Has it? According to the Ad-
ministrative Office Of the U. S.
Courts, 34,873 business firms,
farmers and individuals went bank
rupt in fiscal 1852, the last full
fiscal year of the Truman Admin
istration. The number has increased
every year since and reached an
alltime peak in the fiscal year
which ended last June 80 when
lie, O34 bankruptcies were declared.
The statistical firm of Dun y
Bradstreet also reports that the
number Of failures among business
firms on it's list - including manu-
facturers, wholesalers, retailers,
building contractors, public utili-
ties, water carriers, motor carriers
and airlines - has leaped from
% per 10000 in 1862 to 81 in
1859.
Living Costs Hit New
Records (Again)
The cost Of living has reached
its highest peak in history for the
sixth month in a row. Government
figures show that in July, the
latest date for which figures are
available, the average city family
had to pay $12.66 for the same
goods and services that cost $40
during 1947-49. In the 80 months
between the time the Eisenhower
Nixon Administration took office
in January 1853 and July 1860, liv-
ing costs set alltime records in IS.

Total Jobs
Hits Record
In December

Employment in the Washing
ton Metropolitan Area rose
l4,100 in December to a new
record high of 725 200 persons,
the United States Employment
Service reported today.
District Director Fred z.
Hetzel said that the year end
estimate compared with I'LL
in November and that a sharp
gain of 80, 300 was recorded over
December, 1858.
Mr.. Hetzel already has pre-
dicted that 1860 will be the
most prosperous the area has
ever experienced and that en-
ployment is expected to be
higher than in the past.
Mr.. Hetzel said that despite
the record number of employed
in December, however, the un-
employment estimate rose
slightly to 15.400, compared
with $4,000 in November. He
said that many persons tenn
porarily entered the labor mar
ket for the holiday. The jobless
figure in December, 1858. was
4,400 more than the most recent
estimate.
An increase of 8,400 in retail
employment and $500 in the
Federal Government accounted
for the December gain.
Most other reporting cate
gories showed small losses.
Construction dropped sharply
from $4,000 to $1,000.
Retail trade employed 1000
more last month and the Fed
eral Government employe e d

LimitUrged
To Power of
runsit Unit
BY GEORGE BEVERIDGE
Star Stan Writer

Washington's official area
planning agencies today urged
the Budget Bureau to limit
powers Of the proposed Federal
transportation corporation to
those actually needed for the
next few years"
Proposed legislation to create
the Federal agency-intended
mainly to advance progress to-
ward rapid rail transit system
here-iS being perfected by the
Budget Bureau. 1t is expected
to go to the Capitol next month.
In making their suggestions
for changes in an original draft
Of the Budget Bureaus bill. the
National Capital Planning Com
mission and the National Capt.
tai Regional Planning Council
closely followed recommended
tions made recently by local
area governing and legislative
officials.
AS a result of conferences be-
tween the local and Federal
leaders, Harland Bartholomew.
Planning Commission chair
man. said today he was very
encouraged" that the bureau
would submit a bill which will
meet with the approval Of the
great majority of local organi-
cations and agencies"
The most encouraging
achievement is the sincere de-
sire Of the Bureau of the
Budget to make use of the
knowledge of the local off,
cials," he said. I'VE are con-
vinced that a new and better
local-State-Federal relation
ship is developing for the entire
metropolitan area"
In proposing more limited
initial powers for the Federal
corporation than the bureau
had first suggested, the plan
ners are expecting that work
also will proceed Immediately
toward formation of an even
tual regional authority through
an interstate compact, which
would take over from the Fed
eral corporation as soon as it
could be formed.
In the meantime, the corpo-
ration would be concerned
mainly with detailed planning,
engineering work and possibly
some acquisition of land.
Among specific recommenda-
tions by the planners we're
that:
/. The corporation should
not have the power to acquire
existing local bus companies
initially.
2. The corporation, likewise,
should not have the authority
actually to operate any transit
facilities during the next sew
eral years.
3. Plans of the Federal
agency should be submitted
to each local jurisdiction for
review and comment before
any final transit program Is
adopted.
