CLOSING Over Real Labor. Issue

eral Government In the ac-
tual processes of collective
bargaining would be In the
public interest" :"
Why aren't these basic is
sues tackled impartially? The
American people are entitled
to know. The answer Is not
difficult to ascertain. It is
the fact that labor unions.
by reason Of the millions of
dollars contributed by their
members to support the DEM
ocratic Party, have achieved
a veto, both at the White
House and in Congress,
against any legislation that
would diminish the monop-
oily power Of unions. How
long can free government en-
dure if one economic group
has a monopoly also on po-
htical power?
The finger of blame is
constantly pointed at mana
cement. To emphasize this,
many antitrust suits are
capriciously started in an at
tempt to smear all business.
The antitrust laws are vague
and can be arbitrarily ap-
piled. A study Of what has
happened in this field for the
last 80 years or more is
sorely needed, so that new
laws can be enacted which
are in keeping with the ex-
panding economy Of the
United States.
But as long as industry
wide bargaining is not pro-
hibited by law and q con-
Spiracy to fix uniform wage
costs in an industry by con-
certed action goes untouched
by government, there is little
chance for a free economy
to operate. The end result
could well be governmental
regulation Of industrial
management, with no such
regulation imposed on labor
unions at all.
Neither side wants govern
mental regulation, but out Of
economic chaos such regula-
ton inevitably comes. So, in
order to save the free-enter-
prise system, the need is for
a law that will prohibit
labor-union monopolies. For
today they fix wage costs
among all competitors with
in an industry. National
unions covering a whole in
dustry are no more logical in
a free-enterpriSe system than
are national cartels of mana
cement or ownership.

Concentration Camps
For u. S. Reds Given Up

A Justice Department spokes-
man said the camps were for
mer Army installations or pris-
oner of war stockades for
which Congress in 1850 au-
thorized funds for their repair
in connection with the Security
Act.
The department, he said. de-

be abandoned as an economy

The camps were at Avon

and Wickenberg and Florence,
Ariz.
The department said the Al

are being used to confine $50

lation was converted into q

Presidents Advisory Committee Found
Ignoring Unions Monopoly Strike Power

undo the injury that has
been done in recent weeks to
the free-enterprise system by
the administration. Conf
dence will not, return on the
basis of mere promises to
treat labor and management
alike in the future. The
truth is that, If the President
the next time adopts a
course of intimidation with
respect to a national labor
union comparable to that
which he employed against
steel, he will be compound
ing his error.
For the real issue that is
being evaded is whether the
economy of the United
States shall continue to be
operated under a formula by
which Federal laws restrain
management but not labor
unions.
The fundamental question
today is monopoly power. The
Presidents Labor-Manage-
ment Advisory Committee,
which filed its report this
week, did not come forward
with a study on this ques-
ton. It was, instead, post
poned for future conSidera-
ton. Both Henry Ford II,
chairman of Ford Motor Co..
and Joseph L. Block, head Of
Inland Steel Co., attached
their views to the formal re-
port filed with the President.
Mr.. Block said:
"The occurrence of nation
al emergency disputes is, in
my opinion, due in large part
to the monopoly power which
enables q single union-or
combination of unionS-to
call a strike that brings to a
halt all, or the preponder-
ance, of the production in a
vital industry. Surely, the
possession Of this power is
not in the public interest. 1t
should, therefore, be curbed
by law, just as Congress has
protected the public by en-
acting the antitrust laws to
prevent business from having
monopoliStic powers. And,
naturally, any such law
should apply equally to man
agement in respect to lock-
outs as well as to unions in
respect to strikes"
Mr.. Ford said: II do not
believe that an increase in

Little Effect Noted in Current Primaries
From Tennessee Apportionment Ruling
DORIS FLEESON

Despite the rare speed with,
which the courts have been
moving in reapportionment
cases. the political consensus
is that no immediate revolu-
ton in State politics is in
sight.
The primaries now taking
place seem to favor the en-
trenched officeholders, and
the old familiar faces from
rural areas are expected to
return to the House and their
well = warmed committee
chairs. The Supreme Courts
pace-setting decision in the
Tennessee case simply came
too late in the year to spark
real change.
Still, there are dividends
from it, arising mainly from
the spark of hope kindled in
cities long effectively disen-
franchiSed.
Late Alabama returns show
that they turned out in Suf-
ficient numbers to squeeze out
former Gov. James (KisSin'
Jim) Folsom and put State
Senator Ryan DeGraffenreid
into a run-off with George
Wallace for Governor.
In Georgia, the Atlanta
Constitution is satisfied that
the archaic county unit sys-
tenn is gone, and it points
with pride to a new look"
candidate for Governor, Carl
Sanders Of Augusta, as a di-
rect result. Similarly, Mayor
Ed Wilson Of Macon, a pro-
fesSor at Mercer University
Law School, has announced

Governor.
1t Is not now claimed that
a Sanders-W Wilson ticket can
defeat former Gov. Marvin
Griffin, whose administra-
ton was something less than
a shining example to the
Nations youth. But the new
faces have at last a reason
to hope, and encouragement
to make the effort.

peopled rural counties will

A Soviet scholar has ad-
vanced the startling theory
that the worlds first nuclear
explosion occurred in 1908-37
years before the invention of
the atomic bomb.
F. Yu, zigeI, a Moscow lee
turer on scientific. subjects,
says there is no other logical
explanation for the mighty
blast that devastated the Tung-
uska swamp forest in Siberia
on June 80, 1908.
An area larger than New
York City and its suburbs was
obliterated by an explosion
seen and heard for 400 miles
around.
The event has long been a
mystery to scientists, but most
authorities have assumed that
a very large meteorite or a
comet was responsible. Some
Soviet experts who recently ex-
plored the Tunguska region are
still holding with the comet
theory.
Rejecting these established
views. Mr.. Zigel concludes that
the blast was nuclear in nature
and originated either from a
space ship from another planet
mentioned only as a remote
poSsibility-or from "some very
extraordinary, still unfamiliar
but natural heavenly body"

English translation was pub
lished yesterday by the Com
merce Departments Office OF
Technical Services.
The Commerce agency said
"the contents of this material
in no way represent the pol

Much of the Ziger article
was based on explorations in
Tunguska in 1959-1961 by a
team led by Geophysicist A. v.
Zolotov.
Mr.. ZigeI wrote that "an un-
usually bright and surprisingly
colorful night air glow was
observed throughout Central
Europe and in some regions Of
Siberia" for two days after the
explosion.
He also reported that the
phenomenon conceded with "a
sharp and sudden change in
the geomagnetic field, which
was recorded in Greenwich as
well as in Irkutsk."
Mr.. Zigel concluded that
neither the glow nor the mag
netic changes could have been
caused by a meteorite or comet.
