The Economy and Labor Excesses

anything to restrain the
abuse Of union power. To
accept big strikes is not the
answer, so far as business
is concerned. for the COM
panies really cannot afford
them, and the unions are

stoppages have become a
form of extortion which

to labor unions because Of
their support at the polls and
the money they collect for
campaign contributions-rise
above the selfishness of po-

really the beginning of a de-

a deep depression in the next

Extremists New Challenge Held Risky
As President Strives for Crucial Unity

The ultra-liberal wing Of
the Democratic Party is Of
fering a rising challenge to
President Kennedy. as the
second session Of the 87th
Congress prepares to open.
Having twice been licked
before the session even start
ed, the ultras now persistent
ly court a final, decisive de-
feat that could all but destroy
their influence with this ad-
ministration.
First, the President turned
them back by determining to
ask Congress for a moderate,
and not an extreme, legisla-
tive program. What they
want him TO do is to fight"
somebody and nearly every
body - all Republicans, of
course, and all Democrats
who can be said to carry
the historic curse of some
faint conservative taint. What
he wants to do is to fight,
not Republicans or other
Democrats, but rather a SOM
berly menacing world scene.
What he wants to do is to
achieve maximum unity
among congressional moder-
ates-and in both parties
on the one. truly vital issue
of the coming session. This
is his plan for greatly in
creased tariff-lowering auth
ority to expand this country's
world trade and to enable
us to associate usefully with
Western Europe's tremen-
dously successful trade re-
vival under the European
Common Market.
In this, his principal al
lies are more or less conserv-
ative Democrats and more
oy less conservative Repub-
licanS-Dwight D. Eisenhower
and former Secretary of
State Christian Herter among
them.

California Attorney General Mosks
Refusal Disoppoints Senator'S

on securing his labor base.
Democrats figure they can
exploit this situation by driv-
ing Mr.. Nixon further to the
right and Senator Kuchel
further to the left, thus max
ing the maximum number of
Republicans unhappy.
Senator Kuchel's strength
is much like that suggested
as the reason for the rise Of
Clark Albert from small town
lawyer in the little Dixie Sec
tion of Oklahoma to House
Democratic leader. "Nobody's
mad at Carl" members of the
House are explaining, and in
California nobody, except pos
sibly the really extreme right,
is mad at Tommy Kuchel.
California Democrats still
argue that this Is the year
to cut him down.
They point out that he
began his Senate career as
protege and appointee of the
then Gov. Warren, was first
elected while the Warren
aura hung heavily over the
State and was reelected
when President Eisenhower
headed the ticket. These ad-
vantages are now lost to him;
also the State Republican
slate cannot possibly be as
strong as it was before Dem
ocrats came marching into
Sacramento in 1858.

Employment costs in

have risen from $2.72 per

THE average number of
production workers over this

$4,000 to 100000.
"The present need of the

Yet one principal objective of
the United Steelworkers is

to make room in the industry
for unemployed union mem
