Mr.. Rothman expressed belief
that his regional staff can in
doctrinate local plant managers

dos and don't's of the labor
laws they could settle their diff
ferences more easily and stem
the mounting volume of dis
putes brought to the NLRB.
He said the total of unfair
labor practice charges and
bargaining rights petitions filed
with the NLRB reached a record
of more than $4,000 in 1861,
This was a 9 per cent increase
over the 1860 caseload.
With that sort of annual in
crease, Mr.. Rothman predicted
the total would top $4,000 by
1870.
OF the $4,000 unfair labor
practice charges filed in 1861,
he said more than 10 per cent
were found without merit and
unworthy of being prosecuted.

Gains Seen
In Economy
By Goldberg

Labor Secretary Goldberg

the economy throughout 1852"
In a year-end statement is
sued yesterday. Mr.. Goldberg
also forecast that employment
will rise to new records in the
months ahead. and pledged the
Kennedy administration to con-
tinue fighting unemployment.
Mr.. Goldberg warned labor
and management that the econ

"can be impeded by lack of
restraint with respect to both
prices and wages during crucial
months" He said there has
been remarkable stability in
prices" so far.

unemployment has not been

Mr.. Meany called for "a

A Shaggy Dog Story

ELISABETHVILLE, Katanga,

where Dusty came from.
A big, nondescript, shaggy,

The Nations chief labor law
enforcement officer has an
nounced a Nationwide grass
roots schooling program to
teach employers and unions
how to handle their problems
without getting in dutch with
the Government.
Stuart Rothman, general
counsel for the National Labor
Relations Board, said the
NLRB's % regional offices will
conduct a basic program of ed
ucation during 1862 to teach
management and labor at the
community levels their basic
rights and duties" under the
labor laws.
Mr.. Rothman, in a year-end
report, apparently referred to
the effort of President Ken

SAC bombers on missions to
Russian targets.
The original agreement for
building and operating the
bases was made with France.
Since then, Morocco has be-
come independent.
Military base use is not the
only perpleXity arising out of
changing international situa-
tions, emergence of new indie
pendent nations and political
reorientations. Sea and air
routes can become involved.
The Navy is keeping a wary
eye on the Strait of Malacca,
among other places.
Short Route
The strait is the short route
from the Pacific into the In
dian Ocean and thus into the
Red Sea-SueZ Canal link with
the Mediterranean.
There is political ferment in
Indonesia. If the ferment re-
solves into governments hostile
to the United States or oriented
toward leftist neutralism, the
strait might be closed off to use
by Warshisp of foreign nations.
In recent years, more and
more nations have adopted .

C alled d "over fly" privileges

United States aircraft now skirt

High Steps

ASHTABULA, Ohio, Jan. l
(AP). - Maybe Daisy - who
doesn't eat the daisies-iS
daffy. But she likes her hay
and she'll climb pretty high
to get at it.
The Daisy in question is a
2-year-old heifer who weighs
a hefty 800 pounds. She went
on a hay-eating binge over the
week end, climbing IL narrow
steps to the second-story hay
loft on John B. Perry'S farm
near Rome, Ohio.
The dark-broWn Jersey heifer
first was discovered missing
from the barn Friday night.
But she wasn't missing at all,
Mr.. Perry found out later.
She just went to higher
grounds-and better munching.
Yesterday, 40 hours after she
made the trek upstairs. Mr..
Perry and members of his
family blindfolded Daisy, tossed
a rope around her horns and
dragged her down the 30-inch
wide, wooden steps.
Halfway down, apparently
stuffed with too much of a
good thing. Daisy stumbled.
"She tripped and fell, but
landed in a bundle of hay"
Mr.. Perry said. MY brother

as she fell"
Mr.. Perry said he wished he
could have seen how Daisy
climbed up the steps. 1T sure

said, adding:
"She ate plenty Of hay and
seemed to be comfortable sleep
ing on the stuff. I guess she
just wanted a little holiday

The United States faces to-
day the strong possibility that
it must write off more than
$500 million in overseas mill
tary bases because of the
changing complexion of inter-
national affairs.
With the money will go crit
ically important strategic posi-
tions in this Nations world
wide defensive complex.
The huge air base on the
island of Terceira, in Portugal's
Azores, now is cast in doubt.
The United States started using
the Jajes Air Base in the midst
of World War II, under agree
ment with Portugal. In the
years since then almost $3.50
million has been put into the
big airfield, permanent build
ings, communications and navi-
CATION equipment and aircraft
stationed there.
Agreement Epires Soon
Agreements were renewed
twice in postwar years. Next
spring, the agreement comes
up again for renewal. But this
time. there is doubt. Portugal
is unhappy over United States
attitudes toward troubles that
country has had with her colo
nies of Angola in Africa and
the three tiny colonies seized
by India.
Air Force officials privately
express deep concern.
The Azores base is an i'm
portant stepping stone on the
Southern route to Europe,
Africa an dthe Middle East,
for combat aircraft as we'll

when North Atlantic storms
blot out the shorter great circle

ident Kennedy.
James R. Hoffa, president oi
the independent Transfers Un-
ion, is a dissenter and probably
would funk the administration
He and his lieutenantS are un-
der attack by the Departments
OF Justice and Labor.
The biggest reason for la
bor's general satisfaction with
the administration is that the
President has helped polish up
the image of unionism. which
was tarnished during the Eli
senhower administration.
Mr.. Kennedy takes frequent
opportunities to praise labor's
contributions to national life
and emphasize that corruption
and other faults are not char
acteristic Of the movement.
Keeps Doors Open
He has appointed unionists
to important Government Jobs,
giving labor both status and in
fluence, and keeps the admin
istration's doors open to union
leaders for consultation.
Above all, labor leaders feel
the administration understands
and is sympathetic to the union
viewpoint, and that the Presi-
dent agrees in general with
labor's policies on public
affairs.
In more concrete terms.
labor is happy about many of
the administrations legislative
and executive efforts-although
there are disputes on some
important questions.
Labor counts as major
achievements in 1861 legisla-
ton on the minimum wage,
housing and aid to depressed
areas. Unionists intend to
help the President all they can
in 1862 to push through bills
on aid to education, medical
care for the aged, youth en-
ployment, unemployment COM
pensation and retraining of
joblesS workers.
Some Criticism
The AFL-CIO also supports
the Presidents plea for broad
new authority to cut tariffs,
but some unions dissent.

Evening star., 1962-01-01
INTERPRETIVE REPORT

Presidents plea for restraint in
wage demands. The admins
tration's campaign for wage re-
straint and the parallel effort
to promote labor-saving pro-
duction processes have caused
widespread resentment in un-
ion ranks.
Similarly, the administration
has displeased unionists by op-
posing their drive to shorten
the standard 40-hour work
week.
Budget Balancing Hit
Labor also objects to the ad-
ministration's emphasis on try
ing to balance the Federal
budget while unemployment
continues high.
And the Presidents use of
the Taft-Hartley Act injunc-
ton process to stop the mari
time strike gave him a demerit
on the labor score card.
Executive actions by the ad-
ministration that have pleased
most labor leaders include the
Presidents efforts in the field
of civil rights-notably eStab-
lishment of machinery to
combat job discrimination by
Government contractors-al-
though some unionists are
disappointed at his lack of a
legislative program in this field.
Despite slow progress TO date,
labor is very hopeful that the
Presidents Advisory Committee
on Labor Management Policy
will produce benefits for the
union movement. But this COM
mittee also is likely to push
the wage restraint theme.
Pleased with NLRB
Unionists generally are
pleased with the administra-
tion's efforts to hold interest

Goldberg's sympathetic ap-
proach to enforcing the Ian

policies on intervening in major

The presidential action with
the biggest potential for help
ing organized labor was his
appointment of Frank w.

to the National Labor Relations
Board.
Labor had complained that
the NLRB was pro-manage-
ment and unfairly hampered
unions in organizing, bargain
ing and strikes. With the
membership shift, the five-man
