DAVID LAWRENCE
Dubinsky Lays 1t on the Line

Mr.. Dubinsky had the
courage to point out that. in
business. efficiency does
count for a great deal and
that this is a lesson the peo-
pie in public life tend to
ignore.
Thus. when Supreme Court
Justice Frank Murphy died
in 1949, President Truman
told friends he didn't see
why the vacancy should go
to a Catholic when he had
somebody else in mind who
was capable and didn't hap
pen to be of that faith. When
President Eisenhower came
into office, his political ad-
visers urged him promptly
to appoint a Catholic to the
high court. He appointed
William J. Brennan, jr., of
New Jersey, long experienced
on that States highest court.
But Justice Brennan sub
Sequently voted against what
he deemed an unconstitu-
tional action in the so-called
school prayer" case not
withstanding the fact that
some prominent members of
the Catholic hierarchy have
condemned that decision
vigorously.
The politicians have, how
ever, established the fetish
that all religions have to be
represented on the Supreme
Court. Specifically. it's a
logical claim. Actually, this
viewpoint impugns the in
tegrity of the members of
the highest court in the land
by assuming that, if cases
come up which involve their
own respective religious be-
liefS, they will allow their
sense of justice in interpret
ing the Constitution to be
brushed aside as they ac-
cept instead pleas from men,
bers Of their faith.
Maybe someday someone
will rise and say in Congress
or even at the White House
that religious and racial dis
elimination" shouldn't be
made the football Of politics
and that private organiza-
tions should feel free to
select whomever they please
for officer positions without
finding themselves investi-
gated by congressional COM
mittees at the behest Of pres
sure groups.

possibility that it may get
results which would further
tie President Kennedy's
hands.
What seems to be happen
ing is that the conservatives
now in control Of the Re-
publican Party at the COM
mittee and in Congress have
decided to build conservative
strength in Congress, what
ever the risks entailed. That
strength would, Of course,
be a significant factor under
a Republican President, no
matter how liberal he might
be. For example, Gov. Rookie
feller Of New York, If nomi-
mated and elected President,
would find 1t confining,
which is perhaps a reason for
It's appeal IN some quarters.
1t is fair to say that the
far right, notably the Birch
ers, pose a problem to Repub-
licans. The Birchers are un-
acceptable to its major can
didates. but the party cannot
afford to lose all its conser-
vative appeal, especially in
the area Of party financing.
Midwest changes this fall
probably will be confined to
the House. OF 40 Senate seats
up, 10 are Midwest, seven
being held by Republicans
and three by Democrats.
Democrats are truly sanguine
only over George McGovern's
prospect Of capturing the
South Dakota spot now occu-
pied by Senator Joseph Bot

DORIS FLEESON
Belief That Party Can't Regain Losses
OF 1860 Reported at Midwest Farley

A conference Of Midwest
Democrats last week end con-
cluded that unless some
thing happens to stir up the
rank and file, the party can
not regain the ground it lost
in 1860, and may do worse.
President Kennedy's gen.
eral background and his re-
ligion hurt him worse in the
Midwest than In the South,
and a promising Democratic
resurgence was thereby
stemmed. In addition. 81
new and mainly Midwest Re-
publican conservatives made
it to the House. materially
strengthening the conserva-
tive coalition.
The Midwest is, Of course,
the old Republican heartland,
but the President cannot be
indifferent to its trend,
especially since Republicans
are making inroads in the
South.
1t is hard to believe, but
Democrats are afraid of los
ing House seats in both
South Carolina and Ala
bama. If Republicans can
also beef up their Midwest
House delegations, the Pres
ident's considerable legisla-
tive troubles will be multi
piled.

But what will happen if
he isn't? When this reporter
asked knowing Germans who
may be selected as successor
to Mr.. Adenauer. the answer
was that none of the present
hopefuls has much of a
chance. Vice Chancellor Err

he Is sadly naive politically.
Foreign Minister Schroeder

Franz Josef Strauss, the

instincts. The Chancellor
himself would like to be sue

Special Affairs" DR.. Kroene,
who is little known even in
Germany, but is regarded by
many as the soundest man
in the cabinet. Morever, he
believes implicitly in the
Chancellor's political philso-
ophy. Many members of the
Christian Democratic Party
would prefer. however, for
mer Foreign Minister Won
Brentano to step into Mr..
Adenauer's shoes. Mr.. Bren-
tano is colorless but is as
sound as the proverbial dol

BONN.-What after Chan
cellor Adenauer? This is the
question being asked by Ger
mans and foreigners, alike. It
is true that der Alte" shows
no signs of physical or men,
tai strain. He still works an
average of 10 hours a day
and has his finger in every
departmental pie. Cabinet
members fear his biting sar-
casm, and he has the old
world courtesy and charm
for foreign visitors who are
often taken aback by his un-
expected searching questions.
Until a year ago he be-
lieved Germany's foreign pol
icies must follow unswerv-
ingly those Of the United
States. America has helped
in rebuilding Germany; and
she has not only pledged her
word but her fortune to the
preservation of Germany" he
has said. Hence the Bundes-
republic must follow Wash
ington's policies, even If they
may appear at times as some
what distasteful."
But within the last II
months WaShington's poll
cieS have created honest
doubts in his mind. The do
nothing" policy when the
Berlin wall was erected: the
State Department proposal
now withdrawn - for inter-
naturalization Of the COM
munication lines to Berlin;
the forced withdrawal at the
request Of President Kennedy
OF his favorite. Ambassador
Grewe, all have contributed
to the creation of doubt in
the mind of the Chancellor
about the goals Of the Wash
ington administration.
He is now entirely on the
side Of French President de
Gaulle and is doing his ut
most to speed up the crea-
ton of a unified Europe

necessary, so say those close
TO Mr.. Adenauer, to form a
coalition between the Chris
tian Democrats and the So
cial Democrats who are gain
ing strength.
The principal figure in the
Socialist party is Herbert
Wehner, a former Commu-
mist who spent the Hitler
years" in Moscow. There he
learned from the inside the
full meaning and scope Of
communism. He returned to
Germany after the war and
has dedicated himself, Sue

German working people that

ism is communism. 1t was

colorless nominal Socialist
Party leader, Ollenhauer.

labor organization.

ally ambitious and Is re-
ported to be willing to enter
a coalition to support either
DR.. Kroene or the better
known Mr.. Brentano for the
chancellorship.
The Germans are worried
on this score. They feel per-
feCtly safe under the present
Chancellor's guidance. He is
the man who led them from
a country Of rubble and
shame to an honored place
among the family Of nations.

Every now and then in the
field Of public controversy
someone has the temerity to
utter a piece OF simple wis
dom and everybody wonders
why it hasn't been said be-
fore.
An example is the recent
outburSt Of indignation by
David Dubinsky, president of
the international Ladies Gar
ment Workers Union, who
was testifying the other day
before a subcommittee of the
House of Representatives in
answer to what he considered
were trumped-up charges of
racial discrimination" in
side his union. He said:
"I1l be damned if I will
support the idea of the pro-
teSSional Negro, the profess
sional Jew, the professional
italian that a man should be
a union officer because of his
race, color or creed. He should
be an officer on his merits,
ability. character"
This piece of advice might
well be given consideration
by those high officials here
and members of Congress
who sometimes deal with ap-
pointments to office in ways
that they believe will obtain
them the votes of minority
groups.
David Dubinsky is, more
ever, a liberal in every sense
Of the word. He is vice chair
man of the Liberal Party in
New York State and is known
as The Patriarch of a Dozen
Liberal Causes"
Mr.. Dubinsky unhestitat-
ingly points out that the po-
litical motive can be pushed
too far. He referred to a
14-page statement submitted
to the subcommittee by Her
bert Hill, labor secretary Of
the National Association for
the Advancement Of Colored
People. Mr.. Hill happens also
to be a paid staff member
of the subcommittee, and in
his statement he charged the
garment workers union with
being guilty Of "de facto dis
elimination" against Negroes
and Puerto Ricans.

Even the old mans rhetoric

Those were the last years

Vanderbilt's Dan McGugin

the team from Tennessee

how Mr.. Stagg had decided
to become a coach rather
than a preacher, and of how
he had become one Of the

inventing new plays and
stratagems to make his name
and his teams famous and
feared.

Eighty per cent Of our
members are women, but we
have only one woman vice

Mr.. Dubinsky explained
that most of the women
members are married and
want to be at home with
their families, while men are
willing to work long hours
in union activity. He said
that, in the case of Negroes
and Puerto Ricans, the rea-
son they have not yet risen
to the top is that they are
only slowly acquiring the ex-
perience needed for the high
er positions in the union.
Many have become conven-

managers Of the local unions.
He added in a loud voice:
