Observer, La' Grande, Ore., Mon., June 1, 1959 Page 3 Teamster Boss Strike Threat " By LYLE C. WILSON" ' UPI Start Writer WASHINGTON UPI I Team ster boss James R. Holla's threat to import a deadly lDuropean strike strategy which would straighten out the employers once and for all has some solid prece dent in the U. S. labor movement. Huff a now denies he made any such threat of a general, nation wide strike of his toamslers'union. Such a strike would paralyze the U. S. economy. Whether Hoffa Imports General From Europeans determination under oalh by the (TranceTahd stopped the "great a Senate rackets subcommittee. U somebody is lying, then somebody may go to jail for perjury.. The general strike, a strangling strategy, is well known in Europe. It is as much a political as an economic weapon. Moreover, the general strike strategy frequently works. European labor has tried them all. . Hoffa's threat recalls that nearly 23 years have slipped by since the left-wing of U. S. organized labor imported the sit- made the threat can be left for down strike technique from ANN LANDERS !... , Answers Your Problems Dear Ann Landers: I'm one teen-ager who is off of you for life. I just read the letter from that kid with the ducktail haircut. That did it. I nearly passed out when you sided with the princi pal. Since when is a corney high school principal an authority on hair? I've never yet seen one, who had any. You knew you were going to get us kids all steamed up be cause you said "sorry, gang, but I call 'cm as I see 'em." Either your eyeballs need cleaning or old umpires should wear glasses. That call stank. About 70 per cent of the guys in our school wear ducklails. They look real sharp Most of them are clean-cut athletes, not hoods or thugs. I get six haircuts a year and I consider myself neat at all times. This is one teen-ager who attends church every Sunday ducktail and all. Ducky. Dear Ducky: Thanks for brush ing the mop out of your eyes long enough to write the letters. Plen ty of the ducktailed readers from cbast to coast quacked about the advice. The mail is running SO to 1 against me, but in spite of all the static, the original verdict still stands. Ducktails belong, on ducks. o Dear Ann Landers: I am going with a wonderful young man. We Brc talking seriously about get ting married. For several months I've been thinking about asking him to shorten his last name. Fi nally, last night I broke the ice. He went into a rage and said he'd change girls before he would cnange his name. I told him I did not want him to change it, I just want him to leave off uie "yowski." He made it plain he has no intention of doing so, and if I want him I'll have, to take his mame. What is your opinion is he be ing arbitrary? I just can't see myself going through life with a name that is unpronouncable. Miss Smith. Dear Miss Smith: How would you like to be Miss Smith forev er? It could happen and it would serve you right. No name is un pronouncable. Some names re quire a little more . effort than others. This young man is proud of his name and you should be happy to have it. o If alcohol is robbing you or someone you love of health and dignity, send for Ann Landers' new booklet, "Help For the Alco holic," enclosing with your re quest 20 cents in coin and a large, self-addressed, stamped envelope.

Anderson (D-N.M.) has predicted the Senate never will confirm President Eisenhower's nomination of Lewis L. Strauss to be secretary of commerce. Anderson, a long-time foe of Strauss, said Sunday he believed the President would withdraw the appointment or the Senate would reject It if the issue came up for 'a vote. The Senate is expected to begin debate Thursday on the nomina tion, which the Commerce Com mittee approved by a 9-8 vote. Both sides of the controversy have forecast;, victory by a narrow margin. . , . Anderson, chairman of the Joint Concessional Atomic Energy Committee, said the debate would. be "extended." He rejected the idea that the matter could be set tled in a day or so. ... The New Mexico Democrat said he would not join in the recent recommendation of some Demo crats that Strauss ask that his nomination be withdrawn. "Anything I would recommend he would do the direct opposite," Anderson said.. . Anderson was reminded that Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) re cently made a thinly veijed threat to filibuster against the nomina tion. He was asked if he would try to persuade Morse not to resort to a talkathon. "I would not discourage Sen. Morse frorn doing anything. ' An derson replied. He said that "ex tended debate"- is sometimes use ful in educating the i American people about an undesirable situ- Junior Swine Showmanship. 1st Larry Hays; 2nd John Hays; 2nd Beth Hug.

From mac agreement uu veiupeu i n e United Automobile , Workers of America 'UAWt, organization in GM. Sen.' : Pat McNqmara, ID Mich.) in the Senate on the sit- dpwn's 20th , anniversary said; t "Mr. president, 20 years ago this moqth (Fob. 1057), there took place in Flint, Mich., events which marked the launching of a new bill of rights for the Indus-1 trial worker. From these strikes came recognition of UAW by Gen eral Motprs Corporation." , ,The Communist Party, USA, in their national publication, "The Worker,'.' also commemorated the Flint sit-down in a nostalgic ac count of events in the first year of the second Roosevelt Adminis tration. Organized labor was heav ily., infiltrated and in some in stances, led. by Communists at that time. , k. . Wyndham Mortimer, vice presi dent of the struggling UAW. was a Communist closely associated with Bob Travis' UAW leader in Toledo, Ohio, "The Worker" re called in discussing the Flint sit down. ,, v, ' i, v,i Strike Leaders "Who were the. people '(in the Flint strike)" the paper continued, "with initiative and leadership? They were mainly an active core that Mortimer and Travis had built up. But it was people with a socialist consciousness and as sociation with the Communist Party and the then-leftist Socialist Party of Michigan who stood out in key positions. While the major leaders at Fisher ( a GM plant) were Com munists, the group that led the sit-down at the Chevrolet plant (Flint) , were mainly Socialists. Later the three Reutner Brothers, then Socialists, came to Flint to join Mortimer and the other Com munists in the leadership." (Wal ter P. Reuther now is No. 2 man in the AFL-CIO.) So, that is the Communist ver sion of the 1937 importation of the sit-down strike. The sit-down was a device by which employes quit work but remained in tha,. plants day and night, resisting eviction, This was a deadly effective de vice, especially when courts and Michigan's Gov. Frank Murphy rejected company pleas that their properties were being seized and occupied illegally. UAW's own ac count of the sit-down background was tpis Doctors Want I A Pay Raise, f Englqnij I LONDON ilIPI)- " "rtie British Medical Association today issued a detailed plan for a "strike" to be culled by the 20.000, physicians in the National lieaiin service if negotiations with the government fail to produce a pay raise. The doctors involved care for about 97 per cent of the nation's patients. According to the plan, medical service would be availa ble during the strike, but patients would have to foot tlie bills now paid by the government and claim reimbursement from the government afterward. ."National Health Service prac tice throughout Uie country would cease," the association said, "and the government would be power less to organize any effective al ternate service." The health service, started 11 years ago,' pays doctors 2.o0 a year for each patient on their treatment list, with an additional $1.60 a year for each thousand names on the list. Each doctor is limited to 3,500 patients. Payment is made no matter how much treatment is given the individual. The program costs about 2 bil lion dollars a year, 80 per cent being paid by tax money and the rest supplied by social security plans and the patients. Contribu tions by. patients include 14 cents for each prescription, whether it calls for . aspirin or expensive drugs, and $2.80, for each series of dental treatments, whether for pulling one tooth or replacing a mouthful. The doctors contend that the government is underpaying them, and negotiations on a pay in crease have been going on for several months.. The medical as sociation has given no indication of when its strike plan would be carried out. IMPLEMENT: EXCELLEIIT SELECTION SUPERIOR QUAUTY 1 GUARANTEED VALUES AT ROCK BOTTOM PRICES Timid Bear Roams Capital WASHINGTON (UPI) A timid black bear roamed the nation's capital today, eluding a big game hunt by police and zoo officials. , A police officer who has been in on the week-long search said the elusive bruin has been chased so often "he is scared to death. We'll never catch him now." The bear stands about waist- high to a man. He was estimated to weigh between 200 and 300 pounds. The animal was spotted first last Monday at Andrews Air Force Base in nearby Maryland. No one knows where he came from. ' The National Zoological Park of fered to give the bear a home. Zoo Director T. It, Reed and sev eral assistants have taken part in the search armed with guns which shoot drug-dipped darts designed to put the animal to sleep. Some police officials expressed fear that the darts, or the air rifles which some hunters have carried, might wound the beast and turn him into a killer.
