Soldering Consequences
Nuc|eor Attack Would Wipe Out
Most Of Nations Highly Skilled

Citizens Committee for Nuclear In
formation, the report assumes a nu-
clear attack of 1000 megatons but
points out that shelter preparation
which might save lives in an attack
of this size would be of little use
against a heavier attack.
The new America emerging from
the attack could not rapidly recover
as did Germany and Russia after
World War II, say Dentler and Cut
right.
Attacks on Germany killed only
one per cent of the civilian popula-
ton, and Russia removed most in
dustry and labor from the Germans
path. The authors point out no coun-
try would be able to supply aid to
America after a nuclear war as did
the Marshall Plan to European coun-
tries after World War III.
The authors of this report, Robert
A. Dentler of Columbia University,
and Phillip Outright of the Division
of Research and Statistics, Social
Security Administration, also have
elaborated on a book, Hostage
America" published by Beacon Press
last spring.

Vermont FEP Law
Signed BY Governor

Vermont became the 24th state to
adopt an enforceable fair employ
ment practice law as Gov. Philip II.
Hoff CD signed a labor-sponsored
bill which bars job or pay discrimina-
ton because of race, color, religion,
sex, age, or national origin. An at
tempt in the House to attach So
called "right-to-work" amendment
was soundly defeated.
The bill makes it illegal for any
employer, employment agency or la
Dor organization to practice discrlml-
nation in ''any matter directly or in
directly related to employment or
labor organization membership OPP

The Readers Forum

McAdoo found the roads in a desperate
condition and had to expend millions
of taxpayers money to get them in OPP
Grating condition and later turned them
back to the corporations with no cost
to them. This happened to a lesser ex-
tent in World War II.
The Milwaukee, while not constructed
with government funds, has twice been
on the verge of bankruptcy and had to
be 'fbailed OUT by the national gov
eminent.
Now due to increasing automation
and the imminent threat of a strike
because of the threatened loss of sew
enty or eighty thousand jobs it seems
the nations transportation facilities
are again threatened with a breakdown
or suspension.
In view of these facts 1T would seem
that the proper and ultimate solution
of the problem would be for the ma
tiOn to take over the operation of
these major transportation facilities
for the good and welfare of the ma
tf0n. Taxpayers money paid for most

them millions of acres I'm addition
why should not the taxpayers own
them?
True, many of our politicians are
not to be trusted with such RESPONSE
bility but we do have many capable
executives who have the general well
fare of the nation at heart who can
be found, some even among present
railroad executives, and who could
perform the task at a considerably less
salary than the present executives of
the railway corporations. Zone rail-
way president receives about $4,000

Government Should
Operate the Railroads

The present "hassle" over the trans
portation problem with the possibility
of a nation wide railway strikes calls
for pertinent comment
The first transcontinenta1 railroads
were built and paid for by government
(taxpayersD money, and How?
The company organized and got a.
franchise from Congress together with
section twenty miles wide on each
side of the right of-way They issued
some s150,000,0O0 of bonds but could
find no purchasers. They went to Con-
gress and got Congress to guarantee
the bonds, but still no purchasers.
Then they asked Congress to BUY the
bonds which Congress did They
then organized Subsidiary" companies
to do the construction, paying enormous
prices per mile for the construction and
when the last spike was driven the
corporation was broke. Nothing
daunted the free enterprisers' who
again went to Congress with request
to cancel the bonds. Congress obliging-
ly did. So taxpayers money not only
paid for the construction but gave the
organizers the free grant of millions
of acres of land for their FREE EN-
.TERPRISE". This is all set forth in
Charles Edward Russe1s book 1.-THE
Story of the Great Railroads" and
amply documented with references to
the Congressional Record of that era
Twice in my own knowledge the ma
tional government has had to take over
and operate the railroads due to the
emergency of the world wars.

OLSEN A HOUSE SPONSOR
Legislation aimed at accomplish
ing the same results as the Engles
Amendment, is pending in the House
under HJR $40 by Cong. Harley Stag
gers (D-W. Va.), co-sponsored by
Arnold Olsen (D-Mont.) }, Bennett (R-
Mich.) and George Rhodes D-Penn.)
To restore good faith collective
bargaining in the railroad industry,
to protect the jobs of thousands of
American workers from arbitrary
action, and to prevent the estab-
lishment of precedent of compul-
sorry arbitration of Iabor-manage-
ment disputes in America, the Mon
tana rail union leaders request
letters be written in support of
both the Engle Amendment and the
companion resolutions in the
House. Olsen's resolution, a COM
panion to Staggers' HJR 579, is
HJR 599. Such letters should be
written to:

A nuclear war in which &c
u. S. cities were hit would
change-perhaps forever-the
pattern of American life.
"To kill the society you dc
not have to kill all the inhabi-
tants," sociologists Dentler and
Outright conclude in a study
of Social Effects of Nuclear
War, published in Nuclear In
formation for July.
Basing their projection of social
effects ON studies made by the Office
of Civil and Defense Mobilization,
with 70 of the nations leading indus
trial and military centers as targets
for nuclear attack, the sociologists
find that more than 70 per cent of
architects and craftsmen; electrical,
industrial and mechanical engineers;
metals plant foremen and tool and
die makers would be wiped out.
Forty-six per cent of the total
population would be dead in such
an attack. Many of the people with
the skills to rebuild America would
be destroyed.
Responsibility for law and order
would fall to surviving military and
civil defense personnel. Martial law
would be needed for months, even
years. after attack, according to the
study. Such authoritarian rule would
lessen the country's chance to restore
a democratic form of government.
Political and religious institutions
would be radically unbalanced with
elimination of these cities. One-third
of the country's Professionals would
die, two-thirds of the Catholics, and
nine-tenths of the Jews. More Demo-
Gratis than Republicans would perish.

Quiet Comments

w AOT1l1NG YIN, IL. ". " AlIuOSl
from the day he became Secretary
of State there has been a campaign
Ito get Dean Rusk out of government.
Much has been written about Nc
George Bundy of the White House
being the "real Secretary of State. "
Certain writer's have said that in the
crises Rusk does not always come
through cloud and clear" Others
have said unkind things about the
Secretary, all of which tended to
minimize his Importance on the New
Frontier.
But Dean Rusk is coming through
cloud and clear" these days in an
area where friends of Mr.. Kennedy
probably least expected anything
from him. / refer to the Secretary's
effectiveness in pushing the Admin
istration program on civil rights.
. 1t is not just that Rusk himself
was born in Georgia and is South
erner that makes his contribution
important. There are many Southern
ers who do not belong to the White
Citizens Councils or look forever
backward. They are not as noisy as
some of the extremists but Ralph
McGill and other writer's fully attest
ito their presence. Rusk's southern
background. really makes no differ
ence, one way or the other.
Nor is the fact that Rusk showed
irritation with Sen. Strom Thurmond
of South Carolina especially import
ant, although there was a dramatic
conformation, when Thurmond i'm
piled Rusk was '1ending at least
tacit support" to the Communist line.
What is important is the kind of
man Rusk is turning out to be.
THINKS THROUGH HIS IDEAS
The picture of Dean Rusk that
energies, after nearly three years on
the job, is one of eontemplative
man who thinks his ideas all the way
through. He is not given TO flam-
boyancy; he prefers understatement.
But this adds to the impact of his
quiet comments. ~

cool reply to Thurmond's taunts, were
some of his more philosophic observa-
tions on race relations.
''Let me say, at the very beginning,
that / consider these foreign policy
to be secondary in import
ance,'' he said.
In other words THE Negro is en-
titled to be treated properly because
he is an American, not because the
Communists will exploit mistreat-
ment. Of course, the Secretary recog-
nized that since we are regarded as
the home of democracy and the lead
er of the struggle for freedom our
occasional failure to live up to our
ideals will be "magnified and dis
sorted."
These were comments that almost
anyone from the Department of State
would make at public hearing. More
revealing were remarks that Rusk re-
garded as his "digressions.
At one point he said:

TENSIONS DISSOLVE UNDER
COMMON ASSOCIATION

Later, many have had the exper-
fence of again finding themselves as
colleagues of members of another
race, whether in university or on
job or in whatever undertaking it
might be. And these tensions there
fore dissolve under the common asso-
Citations that come through engaging
in the same sort of work.
The Secretary went on to say that
it has been his experience that by
working with people of other races
cit will be discovered that nothing
particular happens
He gave Sen. Thurmond a short
lecture on the meaning of the law
after the Dixiecrat saw the public
accommodations provision of the Civil
Rights bill as a deprivation of >.
property rights, without due process
of law
No. said the Secretary, that was
not it at all.
ri s'The purpose of law in free So
ciety is to enlarge freedom by letting
each know what kind of conduct to
expect from the other. And it is
through our laws that personal free
dom is not only protected but con-
stantly enlarged, so we can pursue
our orbit with a minimum of COLI
sions.''
Private rights, he added, include
the rights of people s'who seek nor
NAL public services and accommoda-
tions, and are denied them for reasons
which I don't believe our Constitution
can recognize"
juMr! Rusk's rhetoric may not rank
with that of Churchill or Lincoln.
But from this testimony and other
Incidents since he assumed his pres
emit position it seems clear that the
man nobody along the New Frontier
really wanted is turning out to be an
exceptionally valuable member of the
Cabinet.

WATCH ON The POTOMAC

moment, that all of us who have
had direct contact with these prob
lens (of prejudice), have gone
through somewhat the same exper-
fence, that in our youngest years, we
found ourselves in association with
children of another race, in terms of
friendship and cordiality, and then

isolated situation on both sides.

TOm age
leaders contend the net result
would be to give management the
ment by at least sixty thousand
jobs during the two-year period;
would so weaken or destroy some
of the operating brotherhoods that,
at the end of the two-year mora
torium, the unions would be fl
nancially unable to carry cases
through the agency and court chan
nels on behalf of displaced MEM
bers.
I'm this connection, the brother
hood representative point out that
while rail freight traffic has been on
constant increase the past Is years,
automation has already cut rail en-
ployment more than half-or from
approximately 100000 to 70O,000).
MONTANA WOULD BE HIT
HARD ECONOMICALLY
Pending the completion of studies
now underway, it is not possible at
this time to determine the total adj
verse effect on the 10000 rail jobs
in Montana, should the recommends
tions of the Presidential Commission
be put into effect.
However, some preliminary esti-
mates are available.
Presently there are 2,700 Mon
tanans employed in the operating
crafts-engineers, firemen, brake
men, conductors, etc. This number
could be cut to about one-third, or
slightly over 500, because of two
PRO proposals: 1. Reduction of
freight train crews from five to
three members, 2. longer hauls for
the remaining crewmen, by way OF
cutting in half the number of rail
terminals (crew change points, in
Montana. This operating train crew
reduction, in itself, would amount
to a payroll loss in excess of fifteen
million dollars a year to Montana.
Elimination of terminals would
also bring job-slashing to the ranks
of the railways clerks, baggagemen,
and various other "non-ops". No
estimates as to number or payroll
loss are presently available.
WHAT THE RAIL UNIONS WANT
Instead of giving to the ICC the
power to impose compulsory arbltra-
ton, as would follow should SIR 102
be enacted, the rail unions seek legis-
lation which would encourage rail
management to be more receptive to
bargaining in good faith, rather than
continuing it's present arbitrary de-
termination to sharply cut back jobs,
irrespective of either the national
interest, or the wellJbeing of thou
sands of employees of whom
have devoted the better portion of
their ifetimes to faithful service to
their employers.
Pending in the Senate with full
rail brotherhood support is the So
called Engle (D-Calif.) amendment
which would eliminate all reference
to the ice in the Mansfield-Dirk-
sen SIR 1O2. The amendment also
has the support of the National and
Montana State AFL-CIO.
Should this amendment be adopted,
Especial Joint Emergency Railroad
Committee of the Congress" COM
posed of five members of the House
and five Senators, would be named
to keep careful watch on the progress
of collective bargaining in settling
the dispute, and to assist the process.
If after exertion of ''every reason
able effort ito resolve such disputes
by agreement, it becomes clear there
is "no prospect of resolution" then
the joint committee "shal so report
to the Congress together with recon-
for further action by the
Congress ;"

emo rties IN the dispute" would be

ut is the man in the pew -
not the man in the pulpit -
who must be made to recognise
that his religion carries with
it moral responsibility and a
moral commitment to the great
struggle for full equality" Rab-
bi Prinz declared.
"In this great task lies the
supreme challenge to the mini
sters Of the three major reli-
gious faiths in America"
Spoke at March On
Washington
Rabbi Prinz, one of three re-
ligious leaders who spoke at the
March on Washington and later
met with President Kennedy,
said that "at a time when theo-
logical differences matter but
little and an ecumencial spirit
embraces clergymen of all
faiths, the goal of racial equali-
ty and social justice for all citi-
zens have become the new reli-
gious battle cry"
The leaders of American Pro-
testantism, Catholicism and
Judaism have recognized, Rab-
bi Prinz continued, that "if the
churches and synagogues were
to play a significant role in our
time, they had no choice but to
join the great moral struggle
for racial equality.
"If they had not" he added,
"they would have forfeited reli-
gion's greatest opportunity to
become a potent force in Ameri-
can life.
Having done so, however,
they must now impress upon
