New regulations for Federal
grants may settle the dispute
among four key Washington
area agencies as TO which or
CARNATIONS will have m ajor
responsibility for regional plan
ming, it was learned today.
The new regulations direct
that a representative commit
tee of local elected officials
participate in the Develop
ment" Of planning policies, as a
condition for receiving Federal
funds.
The regulations apparently
mean that if a new planning
process is established by the
National Capital Regional.
Pla inning Council, it would
have to be tightly tied in and
co-ordinated with policy direc-
ton by the Council of Govern
mentS.
Because of the bitter dispute
between the two organizations,
however, considerable interpre-
tation of the new regulations
may be necessary. Officials and
staff members of each organiza-
ton are expected to have wide
ly varying Interpretation of
what the new regulations
mean.
Representatives of the re-
gional planning council could
not be reached for comment.
Extended Dispute
The Council Of Governments
for the last few months has
been in a dispute with the re-
gional planning council over
which organization should have
major responsibility for con-
Quoting regional planning. The
regional planning council pro-
posed early this year that its
Federal legislation be changed /
by Congress so that 1t could /
receive funds from local gov
ernments. Then the local funds /
could be used as the one-third
local matching funds for Fed
eral 701 planning grants.
This proposal conflicted with
one by the Council Of Govern
mentS, which was asking for a
congressional charter to make
it eligible to receive Federal 701
funds.
When IL local governments
in the Washington area consid-
cred the Council of Govern
ment's proposal, 8, including
the District of Columbia, ap-
proved its proposed charter.
Alexandria rejected the char
ter. and Montgomery County
withdrew from the organization,
thus signifying its diSapproval. /
50 far, no local government |
has gone on record as approx
ing the regional planning
councils proposal, although in
dividual elected officials have
given their individual approval.
No Provision for Rivals
The conflicting reorganiza-
ton proposals so far appear to
be identical in one respect
they make little or no provision
for the rival organization.
In the case of the regional
planning council, the latest
amendment discussed in open |
session called only for referred
of plans to the Council of Gov
ernments if that organization
requested it.
The new regulations are sig
nificant because if the regional
planning council were to be-
come eligible for 701 funds, it
would have to change its plans
so as to consult a council of
elected officials, which in the
Washington area means the
Council of Governments.
The Federal 701 planning
program, administered by the
Housing and Home Finance
Agency, has been in operation
since 1854. The new regulations
were issued two months ago,
and so far have attracted little
attention. The new regulations
are in a housing agency publ

4 Groups in Dispute

The four organizations in
volved in the dispute over plan
ming funds and in regional gov
ernmental organization are the
Council of Governments, the
regional planning council, the
Maryland-N ational Capital
Park and Planning Commits
sion and the Northern Virginia
Regional Planning and Econo-
mic Development Commission.
The dispute among the four
groups has been difficult for
the public to follow because
each has a different organiza-
tional structure.
The Northern Virginia PLAN
ming commission has % men,
bers, Of whom eight are elected
officials. 1t receives funds from
seven local governments, and
sends four voting delegates to
the regional planning council.
OF these. two additionally are
elected officials.
For Maryland, two delegates
to the regional planning coun-
Gil are from the MARYLAND
Planning Commission, q spe-
cial-purpose agency with quasi
cial-purpoSe agency with quasi
independent taxing powers.
The other two members tradi-
tionally represent the Mont
gomery County Council and the
Prince Georges County Com
miSsioners.
The District is represented
by the Engineer Commissioner,
and the tenth member of the
regional council is the chair
man of the National Capital
Planning Commission.
The Council of Governments
is made up of the elected coun-
cilmen or county commission
ers or supervisors and the Dis
trict Commissioners.
One key point in the dispute
has been over which organiza-
ton represents elected Off
Gals" AS the two groups have
Unanswered in the dispute, the
differences over representation
have tended to blur, and the
dispute now appears to be over
personalities and over which
organization should have an in
creased staff.

Court Upsets Finding
Group Was Red Front

the council was a Communist
front organization and must
register under the Subversive
Activities Control Act (McCar-
ran Act).
The law defines a CommL-
mist front group as one domi-
mated by the Communist Party
or primarily operated for the
purpose Of giving aid and sup
port to the Communist Party,
Judge Prettyman first noted
the distinction between a Com
muniSt- dominated and a Com
muniSt-infiltrated group. The
former. he said, under the law
must be dominated by a known
Communist action association
The latter, he said, must be in
filtrated and directed by Com
munistS but not by the party
itself.
Judge Prettyman said the
evidence of party domination
rested on testimony that four
council officers were party Of
ficers from 1851 to 1853 and
that IL Of the "a remaining di-
rectors were party members. He

as required by law.

to party membership came
from testimony that the direc-
tors were party members as
late as 1945.
He said: 1T seems to us the
past is frequently, indeed usu-
ally, probative of the present
But here we have an unusual
situation. Is a person who was
a member Of the Communist
Party in 1912 or 1914 to be
presumed to remain a member
in 1851 to 1858?
THE former years were war
years. In which the United
States vigorously sought the
continued help and support OF
Soviet Russia. Friendship and
friendly activities toward the
Soviet were among the highest
official Government policies.

because a person was a party
member during the years of the
war he continued to be a men,
Der after 1850, paying dues and
subject to party discipline
would be unrealistic, contrary
to the probable factual situa-
ton and indeed unjust"
Judge Prettyman then turned
to the type Of evidence relied
upon by the control board
noting that many of the wit

tions they had heard years age

Van Arsdale about allowing
a third party to settle labor
disputes, when businesses and
unions reached a dead end in
negotiations. Van Arsdale said
that was the way they did
things in Russia. He was not
turning the Unions bargain
ing rights over to any third
power, if he could help it. He
admitted the government did
step in in labor-management
conflicts, but he didn't like it.
Another housewife called to
ask if the 25-hour work week
hadn't raised prices. Van
Arsdale said union wives
hadn't complained and after
all they were consumers, too.
The union chief said when
wages go up, people always
blame the unions for the in
crease in the cost of living.
But when businessmen raise
prices, no one says anything.
He didn't bother to say that
labor is the major cost of pro-

r Recently Harry Van
Arsdale, business manager Of
Local 3 Of the international
Electrical Workers, appeared
on a radio question and an
swer show. You may recall
Van Arsdale is the union
leader who won a 25-hour
week for the electricians in
New York City a little more
than a year ago.
When questioned about the
union and it's activities, Van
Arsdale, the union chief, spoke
as if he were the ideal union
leader and Local 3, a model
union.
Van Arsdale, told about all
the good that the union does:
operating apartment buildings
at modest rentals for the union
members, medical and dental
care plans, pension plans.
He also said that his men
worked for more efficient
ways to save money for con-
tractors, that he only wanted
the 25-hour week to keep his
members working and put
additional men on despite
automation, that he runs a
democratic union local, and
that the shorter work week
hasn't caused any initiation
that he could see.
Then the NC. of the radio
show asked listeners to call
Van Arsdale with questions
and both sides Of the phone
conversation went out over
the air.
Many of Van Arsdale's an
swers didn't sound as though
they came from the same man.
The voice was the same, but
what he said was directly OPP
posed to his union talk on the
first part of the show.
One electronic technician
called to ask why he couldn't
Join the union. He had good
vocational schooling and 5
, years experience in electrical
work. Van Arsdale said the
technicians didn't qualify.
A housewife wanted to know
why qualified electricians from
other parts of the country
couldn't get a Local 3 card
and work in New York City.
She said union members were
working 7 and 8 hours a day
on jobs. If Van Arsdale wanted
the 25-hour week to provide
more work, how come he had
his own men working over
time, while other electricians
were shut out.
Van Arsdale said this wasn't

ducing most items and that
if the cost of labor goes up,
prices must rise.
Listeners to this radio show
were pretty mixed up when 1T
was over. Was the union q
democracy? Nobody seemed to
be able to join it.
Did the electricians cooper
ate with contractors to work
more efficiently? This report
err read in a national magazine
that members of Local 8 insist
on rewriting fixtures that come
already wired from the manu-
facturer, a form of feather
bedding. Other listeners, I'M
doubtedly read the same
article.
Are more electricians work.
ing due to the 25-hour work
week? Van Arsdale didn't say.
The same electricians appear
to be working more overtime
at higher rates.
Van Arsdale said too that
when the electricians won
their reduction in working
hours, they also cut their pay.
Did the electricians take a
pay cut for the shorter work
week? You figure it out.
Under the old rates, an cleo
trician got $165 for 80 hours
at regular time and 5 hours at
time and a half. This was $4.40
an hour at regular rates and
$500 an hour overtime.
The new contract calls for
$161.20 for 25 hours on regu-
lar time and five hours of
overtime or $4.76 an hour and
1914 an hour overtime.
The weekly difference in
pay is $3.50 between old and
new contracts. But if an cleo
trician works his former 80
hour week, he makes $211.84
with the new rates.
This looks like a pay in
crease to me, how about you?
You must also figure in
fringe benefits which cost an
additional S2.20 per hour.
If this contract hasn't raised
the price of construction in
New York City, no wage raise
will ever raise the price of
any item.
One fact was clear to people
who listened to this broadcast.
Local 3 is not the model union
it appears to be and Harry
Van Arsdale seems able to
change faces instantly, de-
pending to whom he talks:
You decide: which face
is false?

true. Every week, the Los
Angeles local called about jobs
in New York, because 800 cleo
tricians were out of work on
the West Coast. The union
chief, however, didn't say
that he had put any out-of-
town electricians to work. He
claimed that most of the local
jobs his members worked were
short-time contracts employ
ing 80 men or less.
A "a year old veteran called
about joining the unions ap-
prentice program. Van Arsdale
told him he was too old.
Not too long ago, the union
boss announced he was OPEN
ing union membership to 1000
apprentices who would work
5 years to qualify as mechan-
les or full-fledged electricians.
Age limit on this deal was 18
to 81. But everyone who called
about this program was either
too old or didn't qualify.

vive, we wouldn't last long,
/ believe you will agree. Per
haps you hadn't given it a
thought, but more money is
invested in agriculture than
in all our great manufactuI
ing industries and tranSporta-
ton systems combined.
Once upon a time there
were no farmers. Men de-
pended up on fruits, and nuts,
fish and game, and other
food they could get with out
cultivation. Men wandered
around from place to place
III search of food and fought
with their neighbors when it
was found. But as men learn
ed to care tor flockS and
herds, and later still to put
seed in the ground, and har-
vest crops. Life then became
a little easier.
All Of their LABOR was based
on agriculture, and from it
grew many activities that
make up our modern civiliz-
ed, life. However, if the Indi-
ans had not come to help the
white man, he would undoubt-
eddy have starved in a land
Of plenty.
Communities gradually de-
veloped in which some Of the
workers provided the food for
all of them. Others took up
handicrafts, trades, art, and
other forms of work. From
such a division of labor came
our way Of life.
