Trouble Ahead?

The broadened organizing pow
ers granted the Teamster leader
ship may spell trouble for the
AFL-CIO which ousted the Team
sters in 1857 for corruption. Mr..
Hoffa said the big labor fedora
ton would either take the Team
Sters back within 10 months or
break, up. He made it clear that
readmission would have to be on
his terms. Implicit in his remarks
were the threat of a real labor
war.
While the AFL-CIO membership
has been dropping (total now
about 12.5 Million the Transfers
Union has picked up about 800 900
members in the last three years
for a total of about IL million
The provision compelling locals
to go along with regional bargain
ing will give new strength to Mr..
Hoffa's drive to bring all truck
ing under q Nationwide contract
"a formidable weapon in the
hands of the Teamster president.
Other targets: Organization of
airline and aircraft workers, de-
partment store employees, farm
workers; and working agreements
with all other land, sea and air
transportation unions.

THE NATIONAL SCENE
Hoffo Power Stirs
Labor War Fears

James r. HOffa was reelected
president of the Transfers Union
last week at a convention which
brOadened his powers and made
him the highest paid labor
leader in the country. He raised
the threat of new labor wars.
Power; pay and undiSputed
presidency were the aims of free
wheeling TeamSter boss Jimmy
Hoffa when he went to Miami
Beach last week.
Meeting in the Napoleon Room
Of the Deauville Hotel, some 1000
delegates to the Transfers con-
vention gave them all to the
5-foot 512-inch leader of the
country's biggest union.
While the Hoffa band played in
the lobby and a plane circled
outside trailing a Hoffa banner,
48-year-old James Riddle Hoffa
served a warning that his already
powerful Transfers Union was on
the move.
And he was more firmly in the
drivers seat than at any time
since he took over from Dave Beck
in 1857 amid charges Of a rugged
convention. The charges brought
monitoring by court-appointed
panel until it was dismissed in
February and a new election
sanctioned.

No Real Challenge

There was no serious challenge
to his presidency bid, and Mr..
Hoffa went to great pains to see
that everything was legal. The
man who has survived Senate
investigating committees and a
Federal indictment charging brib-
cry of a Senate investigator was
handed these new tools along
with the presidency:
. Authority to organize workers
in any industry without limitation.
. An increase in the locals con-
tribution to Transfers interna-
tional headquarters, raising the
total yearly take for headquarters
operation and for organizing
efforts from So million to $40
million.
. A rule compelling individual
locals to negotiate contracts on
a regional basis whenever ma
jority favors this course.
. A strengthening of his control
over conventions by making local
officers and business agents auto
matically convention delegates.
and a liberal pension plan for
salaried officials in the locals.

Troop Talk

AS a result of these fears. United
States military leaders have Sug-
gested sending additional troops
to Europe and q partial mobiliza-
ton to demonstrate the Vests
determination to fight, if neceS-
sary, to insure the safety of West
Berlin.
1t may have been to meet these
shows Of strength as well as to
confuse the West that Mr.. Khru-
Shchev decided to rattle his
rockets.
Along with his big stick threats,
Mr.. Khrushchev still held out the
carrot Of peace yesterday, as he
has for the last five weeks.
The Soviet Premier's fiery words,
balanced by calmer ones, came at
a time when Western officials
were in the midst of formulating
their own policy in regard to Ber-
lin and Germany.
In what some quarters inter-
preted as a call to the summit.
Mr.. KhruShchev asked the West
to "sit down at q table and calmly
discuss all questions without re-
sorting to threats"
He said: 1--WE propose the con-
vocation Of q peace conference
and we shall go there with our
draft treaty. Let the Western pow
ers make their proposals, submit
their drafts for q peace settle
ment."

unabaShedly in Asia, Africa and

ton on the peasantry rather
than the proletariat. and claim
a superior understanding of the
problems of these peoples.]
Q. If Mao is sincere about want
ing a war, as some allege, then
the Soviet Union may feel it
necessary to keep a check on

which border it.

Guest convention speaker Jo-
Seph Curran, president Of the Ma
tional Maritime Union and a
leader in the shipping strike, also
urged a quick realization Of a
land, sea and air combine. Also,
on hand was Harry Bridges, head
of the left-wing West Coast Long
Shoremen's Union which was ex-
PEELED years ago from the old CLIO.
Mr.. Hoffa's lone opposition for
the Transfers presidency, Milton
J. Liss, said when the convention
opened that the unions new con-
stitution would give Mr.. Hoffa
more power than the President
of the United States" He with
drew halfway through the ballot
ing after receiving only is votes,
and pledged allegiance to Mr..
Hoffa.
On the political front Mr.. Hoffa
declared he would build a block
by-block political machine and
put q powerful lobby on Capitol
Hill to deal with congressman
whom he called "pot-5ellied. slick
individuals who represent only the
employers"
He plans to move the Transfers
headquarters from the SIS million
glass and marble building erected
by former president Dave Beck in
Washington. Aides said most of
the headquarters operations prob
ably would be moved to Detroit,
Mr.. Hoffa's home city.
In addition to new powers and
expense funds, Teamster delegates
voted the president a $25 5000 raise
in pay, from $4,000 to $4,000 a
year. Mr.. Hoffa said he deserved it.

OuOH,OH

Because Kuwait is so rich and
so small (the size of Connecticut,
with a population Of 100000, 1t
would be lucrative strike indeed
for Premier Kassem If he could
annex the area. 1t would not
cost him much to administer, and
could give him control of an
area with perhaps twice the oil
reserves of the United States.
But the odds last week seemed
to be against him.
Premier Kassem not only has to
contend with rivals within the
Arab League who have deplored
Iraq's actions, but also with Great
Britain which responded to Ku-
waits call for aid with 5000 des-
ert-trained troops.

of independence, Kuwait was as

friendship" one of Khrushchev
or the militant one of Mao Tse--
tung.
The most concrete development
last week was the surprise signing
of a military aid pact between
North Korea and the Soviet
Union in Moscow. Since being
bailed out of the Korean War by
Chinese volunteers" the North
Koreans generally have been con-
sidered within the Chinese sphere
of influence.
This pact, however. along with
the pro-Soviet nature of the 40th
anniversary celebration of the
Monaghan Communist Party in
Ulan Bator, the snubbing by Rus
sian diplomats of the 40th ami
versary celebration of the Chinese
Communist Party in Peiping, and
a lavish reception given North Wet
Nam officials in Moscow, indicated
forcefully that the Soviet Union
was making an effort to WOO Asian
Communist parties away from Pei
ping.

Red Rift:

Fresh developments last week
buttressed speculation of q
growing split between the So
Wet Union and Communist
China.
1t was a week Of holidays and
anniversaries.
In America, millions of people
took advantage of a four-day
week end to honor the American
Revolution. Even if the Declara-
ton of Independence sounds to
some like Communist slogan,
and the word revolution" a Marx
ist invention, Americans happily
extolled Thomas jefferson, Ben

Kennedy Confers

The Soviet Premler'S ffery
words, balanced by calmer ones,
came at a time when Western
officials were in the midst Of
formulating their own policy in
regard TO Berlin and Germany.
In Washington, allied diplomats
were putting the finishing touches
on a reply to Mr.. Khrushchev's
original aide memoire. and in
Hyannis Port, President Kennedy
was holding a meeting with his
top advisers on the subject.
The principal objective Of the
West is to plan ahead far enough
to allow for the different political
and military contingencies that
may arise as q result Of the Berlin
situation.
There is little doubt that Mr..
Khrushchev is also playing
guessing game with the West.
Until yesterdays speech, he had
been rather moderated insistent
lin his tone. Most Of the talk
of war, in fact, came from West
ern leaders who fear that fighting
might start If the East Germans
try to block access routes to
Berlin.

mended-plus establishment of a
five-year, long-term loan plan for

THE WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
Berlin: The Pressures Mount

While President Kennedy was
meeting with three Of his top
advisers yesterday to discuss the
Berlin and German situation,
Premier Khrushchev gave his
most militant speech yet on the
same subject.
Angered by the Vests refusal to
join him in signing a peace treaty
with East Germany, Premier
Khrushchev stopped speaking
softly long enough yesterday to
shake a big stick that was sure
to be felt around the world.
In rapid succession, he an
nounced:
0 The Soviet Union was sus-
pending planned reduction in its
armed forces (from SO million to
"a million) because of the critical
world situation.
. Because of the growth Of the
NATO military budgets. the Soviet
Union has increased defense al
locations by nearly $3.5 billion, q
rise of more than 80 per cent.
. II fighting breaks out in East
Germany or Berlin after he signs
a unilateral peace treaty with East
Germany, the Soviet Union will
definitely go to the aid Of the East
Germans. &,
., In such a fight. the Soviet
armed forces would ''have every,
thing at their disposal" including
all types Of missiles and rockets.
. In case Of war, no country.
should imagine that distances
will save them" an indirect threat
to the United States.

War of Nerves

The fluctuations from peace to
war in the Khrushchev speech
reinforced the view of Western Of
ficialS that the Soviet boss plans
to strain the Vests nerves up to
the breaking point over Berlin.
Mr.. Khrushchev, they say, will
ease his attack when he thinks he
can get what he wants in the
name Of peace. and harden it when
he thinks intimidation is necessary
and profitable.
What he wants is simple: The
West to quit Berlin and the closing
down Of refugee camps and prop
uganda centers there. What he
does not want is equally simple: A
unified Germany tied together by
free elections.

for remainder of the Kennedy
program.

aid and aid to education.

Public PoHteness

The indices Of the split are not
easily discernible since both sides
have preferred so far to keep their
intra-mural battles private. At a
Kremlin reception last week, for
instance. Premier Khrushchev
made a great show of friendship
in toasting Chen vi, Red China's
foreign minister, who returned the
toast.
There is no indication, at this
juncture, that the differences will
lead to any such break as the
Tito-Stalin rift in 1948, but the
relations between China and the
Soviet Union will have important
bearings on what face the Com
munist world shows the West

ago demanded the newly inde-
pendent sheikdom Of Kuwait on
the grounds that they both have
the same Ottoman Empire roots.
He also said that the 1899 treaty
between Kuwait and Great Britain
was a forgery" that Kuwait
should never have been legally
allied with Britain.
His claim, made less than two
weeks after Kuwait received its
full independence from Britain,
stirred the rest Of the Arab world,
which, like Iraq, tends to treasure
dollars more than unity.

Red Chinese Differs

Liu Shao-chi, a leader Of the
Chinese Communist Party, had
other thoughts about the Amer
lean Government. Speaking at
ceremonies marking the 40th an
niversary Of the CCP, Liu said:
"Since the Kennedy administra-
ton took office, it has done its
utmost to push a counter-revolu-
tionary policy Of two tactics On
the one hand, it is cunningly US
ing peace tactics and on the
other 1t is intensifying its policy
of war. The people of all coun-
tries engaged in struggle under
stand that Kennedy is more dan
gerous than Eisenhower"
These statement symbolized for
many what appears to be a Wild
ening split between the two Com
munist powers, one seeking to adj
vance its program peacefully, and
the other, ready as not to fight.

Plan Necessary

it is absolutely necessary to be
able to offer underdeveloped coun-
tries a long-range program If they
are to make definite plans for
needed economic reforms.
The five-year loan plan would
be financed through $7.3 billion in
Treasury borrowing rather than
annual appropriation bills. Some
Congressman are leery Of this So
called "back-door spending which
doesn't give them chance to take
Z an annual whack at it.
( Then there are those who OPP
pose "give-away" foreign aid in
most any form. And there are
others who are not anxious to
build UP foreign production which
might compete with United States
products.
} One thing that may work IN the
administrations favor is the
worSening struggle with Russia.
Secretary of State RuSk, in his
third trip to Capitol Hill in behalf
of the foreign aid program, told
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee on Thursday that any
serious cuts or changes in the
administrations request would be
"a great mistake" in view Of "our
present relations with the Com
munist world"
Chairman Fulbright predicted a.
close vote in his committee, but
was hopeful that Congress will
pass the program. If it survives
the Senate, even rougher going is
predicted in the House.
President Kennedy has person.
ally organized a group of business,
labor. education and foundation
leaders to campaign for his for
eign aid program, and tomorrow
at the White House he will Off
cially set in motion the new or
ganization called the Citizens
Committee for International De-
velopment.
The Democratic National Com
mittee last week asked key party
workers across the country to
launch a grass-rootS campaign in
behalf of the foreign aid program.
It asked for a storm of letters
and phone calls to Congressman.
Compromise Possible
There was a possibility that as
a last resort the administration
would settle for a five-year au-
thorization to be financed by an
nual congressional appropriations
rather than Treasury borrowing.
This would amount to a commit
ment by Congress for the pro-
gram, but would require passage
of an appropriation bill each year.
A compromise along these lines
received some support in Senator
Fulbright's committee Friday when
vote on foreign aid was post
poned by the chairman until this
week because OF a divided COM
mittee.
There also was some speculation
last week that the administration
is so concerned with the foreign
aid program that it might be will
