union that discriminates IRA
cially) in any way >. Is flout-
ing the basic principles of the
AFL-CIO and doing harm to
the trade union movement.
Many Major Issues
Top issues facing the con-
vention, in addition to juris-
dictional warfare, include
civil rights, tariff policy and
a doomed campaign to bring
the ousted Teamsters Union
back into the labor federation.
Walter P. Reuther. president
Of the United Auto Workers and
leader of the industrial union
lists. made the first important
public concession. He indicated
his bloc would not insist on
court enforcement of arbitra-
tors rulings in inter-union dis
putes over jurisdiction, raiding
and other issues.
But he stood firm after a
caucus on the industrial union
lists key demand-compulsory
and binding arbitration of dis
putes that cannot be settled by
voluntary methods. The build
ing trades unions oppose COM
pulsory arbitration.
Reuther Left Off Group
Dissention in the AFL-CIO
high command was pointed up
by an incident of political
social rivalry. President Meany
left Mr.. Reuther, who is con-
sidered No. man in the labor
movement, off the committee
named to escort President
Kennedy to the convention hall
upon his arrival here.
Asked about this apparent
snub, Mr.. Reuther laughed and
said he did not know that he
had been scheduled to be on
the committee and therefore
could not tell whether. he had
been snubbed by removal.
Anyway, he said, my rela-
tionship with the President Of
the United States is very close
and does not hinge on whether
l am on an escort committee" ."
He added that he was very
happy to be on the escort COM
mittee for Mrs. Eleanor Roose-
welt later in the convention.
Mr.. Reuther's declaration on
the jurisdictional welfare dis&
pute punctured rumors that the
industrial unionists might yield
much further and accept a COM
promise formula not compelling
all AFL-CIO unions to submit
to arbitration.
His concession on court en-
forcement left open the posi-
bility of a system that might
work like this:
An arbitrator would hand
down his ruling. The losing
union might refuse to comply.
Then the injured union would
demand enforcement by the
AFL-CIO Executive Council,
instead of going to court to sue.
The council could invoke a
variety of sanctions. 1t could.
for example. suspend the union
defying the arbitrator. Or the
council could mobilize the AFL-
CLOS resources to help the in
jured union fight back against
the violator.

little ground IN their feud with
building tradesmen, but no
settlement was yet in sight.
Hopes for a compromise rose
and fell almost hourly.
1.-THE appetite of some of our
people for combat constantly
amazes me-" Mr.. Meany said,
adding:
I'm my capacity as third man
in the ring. I can see the vigor
of the other parties. They
don't look like tired, exhausted
warriors to me-"
Reply to HOffa
His half joking remarks
about "life and vigor" appar-
emily were meant to answer
criticisms by the industrial
unions and by James r. Hoffa,
president of the Teamsters
Union, that the AFL-CIO lead
ership lacks drive.
Although Mr.. Meany said the
convention should do some
thing" about internal problems.
he warned against overempha-
sizing the Importance of inter-
union warfare or using it as
an excuse for inaction on Or
ganizing and other jobs facing
the labor movement.
President Kennedy referred
to the feuding in his speech.
remarking that he has read
in the newspapers that "the
labor movement has fallen into
dark days"
II don't believe that, and ]
would be distressed if that were
true" he said.
He said a strong labor move
ment is vital to the freedom
| of this country and the cause
of freedom around the world.
Mr.. Kennedy, who received a
warm reception. alluded to his
concern with labor legislation
| in the Senate and to labor's
support in the 1860 campaign
| jesting: MY work and COT
tinuity of employment has de-
pended on the labor movement.
After the Presidents plea for
AFL-CIO support on tariff
policy and other issues, Mr.
Meany told him: Don't worry
about us, we'll cooperate 1000
per cent.
Mr.. Meany addressed an au-
dience of about 3,000-includ-
ing about 900 delegates and 3OC
alternates representing 12.5
million AFL-CIO members. The
convention opened in the Amer
icana Hotels gaudy setting
which features a glaSs-encloseo

lobby.
Raps at Corruption
Taking a crack at Mr.. Hoffa
without mentioning his name
Mr.. Meany said the AFL-CIC
will stick to its "uncompromis-
ing opposition to corruption
which could destroy and negate
the trade union movement"

lines of that submitted last

Reaction Awaited
There was no advance word
on the future status of Mr..
Balaguer or of the reaction of
his armed forces chief. Gen.
Pedro Rodriguez Echavarria
who led air force units in block
ing the attempt by members of
the Trujillo family to return to
power.
The government and the Civic
Union agreed earlier that a
governing council composed of
five to seven men should be set
up to install democracy in this
island nation.
But Mr.. Balaguer, with mill
tary backing, demanded that
he retain the top post on the
council. The Civic Union re-
peatedly refused to accept his
continuance in office under
any conditions, and last week
rejected a plan by Gen. Rod
riguez Echavarria which would
have given the military virtual
autonomy under a junta headed
by Mr.. Balaguer.

Incredible Picture"
Thus presents itself the in
credible picture of a Soviet
resolution being put into ac-
tion by the United Nations, for
which the United States is pay
ing almost the entire bill while
the Soviet Union refuses to
pay centime.
This picture is even more
complete now that the United
States is providing military
support to fulfill Soviet aims.
1t is a pity that United States
officials do not understand
or do not want to understand
that Katanga is actually the
strongest bulwark against COM
munism in Central Africa, and
that this is the reason my
country has been a constant
target of the Soviet camp dur
ing the II months of our de
facto independence.
Perhaps this is also the time
and the place to recall that our
desire for political freedom does
not preclude our willingness to
provide economic help for the
rest of the area forming the
territories of the former Bel
gian Congo.
Weakness Stressed
But the fact remains that
the weakness of the Leopold
vile government is not lack of
money, but lack of organiza-
tion, administration, and lack
of effective, real control over
the country.
Perhaps the American public
is not sufficiently informed OF

I There was no report that

Red Cross Charge Denied

charges, United States and U. N.

Katanga Foreign Minister
Evariste Kimba clapped United

38, under house arrest, charging
that United States planes made
the U. N. raids yesterday on
Katanga air bases at Kolwezi

u. N. command denied that
American planes were involved,
but Mr.. Hoffacker stayed at

The Consul said he felt quite
safe and was trying to arrange

Mission, to places of safety.

slang? l was reading a biog-
raphy of Napoleon in which the
author mentions that he was
intended to be kidnapped by
Talleyrand from the isle of
Elba. The word must have
been interpolated by the au-

Americans played a part in
the creation of the word, it is
British through and through.

verb in the early 18th century.
It meant to seize or snatch,
just as the related verb nab
still does. Likewise a kid
was a kid then as nova child.
THE first "kidnapings" in

children to be sold to sea cap
