Monday, as you know, is
Labor Day. And I feel we
should pause in our pleasures
to salute the men and women
of the American labor move
ment and their dedicated
stand on the principle Of la
Dor.
They are, Of course. against
1t.
Indeed, since its inception,
the American labor move
ment has done little else but
fight against labor. It's
fought against labor for chill
dren, labor for ladies and
labor for the elderly. An d
when 1t comes to labor for
us healthy adult males, the
historic stand Of our trade
unions Is uneQuivocal: The
less Of it the better.
Look at the record. We
used to average so hours Of
labor q week. But thanks to
the unbending efforts Of our
anti-labor labor leaders over
the years, we now get less
than 40. And II this trend
continues, II our militant un-
ion negotiators continue to
win reductions in the work
week at the present rate, I
figure that by 1892, with luck,
Wen all be unemployed.

to the bitter end. Just try to
look haggard as you enter the
door. There's no question as
to the welcome you'll receive:
"What've you been In, q
fight?"
Then there'n be dishes to
do and diapers to change and
toys to mend and. -. Frank
", I'm physically exhausted
Just thinking about 1t.
So, I say our great Ameri-
can anti-labor labor move
ment has gone Just about far
enough. And it's time we men
took q vigorous stand against
the vicious trend toward
shorter hours. Before we all
wind I'D working ourselves to
death.
Therefore, let US hasten to
agree with the moralists that
labor is ennobling. That grow
ing things, building things or
fixing things Is essential to
mans sense Of purpose. That
it brings him peace. At home.
If nowhere else.
And In this spirit, let us all
pause on this Labor Day, 1865
to salute the dedicated men
and women Of the American
labor movement in our ira
ditional American way: BY
taking the day off.
Not only is this the most
fitting Of our national oo-
servances, but it's got full
popular support.

MAX FREEDMAN

In a few days Vice Presi-
dent Lyndon johnson will be
in Europe as the represent
tative Of President Kennedy
on a mission to the Scandi-
navian countries. This Is o
good occasion for discussing
the relations, both personal
and official, between the two
men.
Those relations are marked
by a friendly trust not often
seen In politics. The highest
tribute any Vice President
can receive under the Ameri-
can system comes when his
advice and judgment are re-
Spected by the President.
Those who know most about
the inner history Of the Ken
nedy administration are the
first to testify that the Vice
President has earned and
long held this special rela-
tionship. Such quiet cooper
alton at the summit Of the
administration is more i'm
portant than his public serv-
ices, useful and varied as
they are.
Very early In the admin
istration, when the memories
Of the election campaign had
not yet faded, Mr.. johnson
used to tell his friends that
his ambition was to be the
kind Of Vice President that
he would have liked to have
if he had been elected to the
Presidency in 1862. What was
once his aim has now become
his accomplishment.
This has not been easy. At
first some Of the men near
President Kennedy were skep-
tical and cautious. They re-
membered Mr.. Johnson's i'm
mense power as majority
leader in the Senate, and
they wondered how he would
behave in his new role. These
doubts were wholly natural
and they bring no discredit
on those who held them. But

What may appear to be
momentary daydreaming by a
pupil In school may actually be
a type Of epilepsy.
Many people think Of cpl
lepsy only in terms Of a violent
convulsion which physicians
refer to as grand mall seizures, "
DR.. Charles Kram. executive
director of the Epilepsy Foun-
dation, has pointed out In a
back-to-school message.
Actually, he says. several
types of epilepsy have been
identified, and in the most
common type, petit NAL" the
seizure takes the form Of what
seems nothing more than q
momentary lapse into day
dreams.
According to DR.. Kram
about 795,000 among some 46.S
million children reporting tc
elementary and high schools

They won't be distinguish
able from other children, hi
says, but in too many case:
they will be unnecessarily sci
apart from other children If II
is known they have the disease
Lack Of understanding o.
epilepsy does more damage
than the condition itself, DR.

other people might have
profitably needed these les
sons also. Sometimes it is
necessary to reform in order
to preserve. He still puts his
trust in reason and abhors
violence as q self defeating
weapon. Even now, as in 1857
when he brought the Senate
to pass its first significant
civil rights legislation since
reconstruction days, he thinks
that the Negroes best protec-
ito is his own political power.
That is why he is so eager to
see full voting rights used by
the Negro in every part Of
the South.
But the accumulated politi-
cal power Of the Negro takes
time to express itself. The
ballot will not give the Negro
a job, nor get him out Of a
slum, nor into a desegregated
school. The ballot does not
take into account what Mar
tin Luther King has called
1.-THE fierce urgency Of now"
Mr.. johnson, like other mem
bers Of the administration
is not ashamed to admit that
the Negro campaign for equal
citizenship, with its appeal to
the American conscience, has
transformed the old problem
Of civil rights and given 1t
an altogether new setting.
Vice President Johnson's
journeys have already taken
him to many far places. He
has always been a faithful
and impressive spokesman
for the American tradition
Of freedom with responsible
ity. Now he goes to Europe
when there Is more than q
hint Of change in world af-
fairs. and when Americas
racial problems are being
anxiously watched every
where. He can be trusted to
be q persuasive spokesman
for the Kennedy administra-
ton and an effective ennis
sary Of the American people.
