State Senatorial candidate and

areas not needed for urban

this?
a. Replace the present half
acre coming with new low

What kind?
b. Deny approval of plans
that would extend sewers
into land proposed for op-

denying such extensions
during the period prior to
adoption of a general plan?

zonings pending adoption Of
a general plan?
d. Amend the farm assess

sity coming a condition for
receiving this form of tax
relief?
e. Other?
Q Do you think it would be
fair to capture for public use
some of the increased values
that accrues to land advantaged
by public planning? If so, how
would you do it?
a. A capital gains tax on land
sales?
b. Public purchase Of land In
areas where intensive uses
are recommended, which
after replanning would be
leased back for private de-
velOpment.
c. Amend the farm assess
ment law to collect defer.
red taxes on land when it
is rezoned or developed?
. Do you think the County
Council should assume respon-
sibility for seeing that a COM
prehensive plan for Montgom-

ried out? If so, what specific
steps would you take to accom-
plish this?
Do you believe that can
didates for appointment to the
Planning Commission should be
required to disclose their bust
ness interests and land hold
ings?

much for their self-denial

fund raising. But no large
companies have ventured to
use their house organs -
magazines or newspapers -
for direct appeals to their
employees to vote for a par
ticular party or its eandi-
dates.
There is no way Of telling
how much pressure union
officers in local unions exert
upon the membership to get
them to vote a certain way.
Many workers are fearful Of
reprisals If they don't do as
the union bosses instruct
them to do. While the union
members generally realize
the ballot is secret. they fear
punishment Just the same -
often from shop stewards or
foremen who have the power
to withhold small favors
from employees they don't
like.
This is because the ele-
ment Of compulsion In union
ism has gone so far that, in
many industries, a man
who doesn't Join the union
cannot in most instances
keep his job. Also, the en-
ployer usually viii not retain
him unless he supports the
union financially by fees or
dues. This is compelled as a
consequence of contracts en-
tered into by employers with
unions in order to prevent
strikes or work Stoppages.
Likewise, in many lines Of
work, unless the would-be
employe is already a member
Of the union, he has diff
Guilty getting q job. This is
true, for instance. in certain
unions in the theatrical and
film business, as well as in
the printing trades and in
many Of the construction in
dustries. Also. the number
of apprentices in various in
dustries is virtually limited
by tacit agreement between
employers and unions.
The American people are
not yet fully aware Of how
far compulsory membership
in the labor union or its
equivalent has gone in free
America. This phase Of civil
rights" gets little attention,
and there are no demon
strations like those in Al
bany, Ca, to emphasize the
segregation Of union from

country were to make
speeches telling their en-
ployes that business would

Just issued a Labor Day mes
sage calling on the II million
members Of the trade unions

This means that all local

community now have been
given the signal to go ahead
and do everything they can
to influence the union mem
bers to vote as the top men in
the AFL-CIO want them to
do.
Federal laws do not pro-
hibit either employers or
union leaders from trying to
tell workers how to vote. But
employers have been reluc-
tant to do this. They have
accepted on its face the fact
that the law which prohibits
any contribution" for a
political purpose by a labor
union or a corporation or a
business defines "contribut-
tion." as used in the statute,
as anything Of value" But
the courts have been vague
in recent years and have

L0bor's Pressure for Democrats

ment throughout the United
States.
Mr.. Meany, speaking as
head Of the AFL-CIO, has
just denounced a public
opinion survey recently con-
Quoted by the Opinion Re-
search Corporation Of Prince
ton. N. J., which revealed
that people generally are
opposed to compulsory labor
union membership. He called
the poll ''rigged" because it
asked the question whether
Americans should be forced
to join any church, union,
or political organization"
He said that "to equate
membership in a trade union
with a mans religious or po-
Htical beliefs is not only
dishonest but malicious"
But the persons who an
swered the question In the
Nationwide poll could readily
have refused to lump the
three categories together. The
nature of the answers actu-
ally showed that the citizens
polled understood this and
other related questions. Thus,
in the same poll. while 90
per cent agreed that no
American should be forced
to join any church, union, or
political organization, 79 per
cent, in answering q specific
question, expressed approval
of the right to organize in
unions and bargain collec-
lively.
Similarly. so per cent said
unions have grown large
enough or are too large now.
and So per cent agreed that
there were union monopolies
today. To cope with this
problem, II per cent Of the
citizens polled said they
favored a law to prevent un-
ions from shutting down
whole industries. Sixty nine
per cent favored antitrust
laws to control union monop-
olieS. while "a per cent ia
vored closer governmental
regulation Of labor unions.
AS for the State laws which
prohibit compulsory union
membership, the AFL-CIO
leaders seek the election Of
more Democrats to Congress
this year so as to bring about
the early passage of a Fed
eral law. that at one fell
swoop would repeal the
right to work" laws of all
the 10 States which have
them now. That's the big
prize the union-labor leaders
seek to win in the congress
sional election.

New Force in Political Cumpuiqns

who are being pressed by
vigorous challengers hope to
avoid the debate problem. but
they are dependent upon local
public opinion and the re-
straint of their rivals in
that hope. The general feel
ing is that no incumbent
really dares to say, mo,
period"
Gov. Brown Of California,
for example, Is not pre-
cisely eager to argue with
Richard Nixon, but he felt
he would somehow be "un-
manly" to refuse. That de-
bate is begged down in argu-
ments between the rival man
ayers which also seem an in

niQue.

no way out is even being

Reopportionment Drive and TV Debates
Seen Putting Incumbents on Defensive

A moving force-the Su-
preme Courts decision on
reapportionment-and q new
iIStitution--the teleVised de-
bate between opposing can
didateS-have been added to
American politics. 1t is early
yet. but the fall election
will show to some degree
their power to effect change.
They are here to stay.
Some politicians are mad,
and some are glad, but all
concede that. They also con-
csede that the general effect
of both is to put incumbents
Of high office on the de-
fensive, whether they are
State or Federal.
Ideologically, they cut both
ways, for liberals as well as
conservatives are subject to
the vice Of rigidity and tend
to cling to a vested interest
in their past. On balance, re-
apportionment hurts liberals
less, for their heartland is in
the great cities whose voters
are newly enfranchiSed. But
in the television debate, each
candidate Is on his own.
The incredibly fast pace Of
reapportionment has recent
ly been described by Charles
S. Rhyme, a past president Of
the American Bar Association
