EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) Vote Returns Show GOP Could Be Bolder in Labor Union Dealings By LYLE C. WILSON United Presi Correspondent "Washington (U.R) Election returns from the Midwest sug gest the Eisenhower administra tion could dare be a. bit more bold in dealing with labor leaders. The u n i ons and how to deal with them baffle the Re publicans. The .political tie of most of the top tyle C. Wilson union leader ship with the Democrats is close, open and effective. Many per sons assert, that the union lead ers wag the party. The Republican Party line, in general, is to get along with the union leaders, if possible, which it probably isn't. There are occa sional party lapses, such as last summer's indictment of the Michigan CIO Auto Workers on motion of Attorney General Herbert Brownell Jr. The charge was violation of the Corrupt Practices Act by use of union funds in the 1954 senatorial elec tion. But only a few weeks earlier the administration had polished the unions with fast approval of CIO President Walter Reuther's drive toward an automotive in dustry annual wage. Reuther had not quite got it from General Motors and Ford, but the new contract did provide a large chunk of lay-off pay. Nixon Approves Pact Vice-President Richard Nixon quickly spoke for the adminis tration in saluting the new con tract during a Detroit speech. The administration's applause may have been over hasty. There is some evidence now that the voters do not approve. The Reuther contracts depend ed in some states on changing laws which forbade unemploy ment compensation to persons A IF YOU'RE NOT BIG FREE PARKING LOTS Ask About Extended Free Parking for Other Downtown Shopping ALL BRANDS CAN COFFEE PRICES ARE DOWN!

Such a state was Ohio. The CIO appeal to the Ohio legislature' failed to obtain the desired change. The CIO then teamed with the AFL and the Railway brotherhoods to put their proposition on last week's election ballot. The proposal submitted to the voters was substantially to in crease unemployment compen sation and to legalize receipt of lay-off pay in addition. The response of Ohio voters was a stunning: No! By almost two-to-one the proposition was rejected. Only half dozen or so of Ohio's 100-odd counties ap proved the proposal behind vhich was the all-out weight of Aquapop Escapes From Prison Guard New Orleans U.R) Russell Tongay, serving 10 years for the death of his famous aquatot daughter, last night escaped from a Florida prison guard who brought him here for a lung examination. The once - burly, ex - coast- guardsman had obtained appro val of the trip from Gov. Leroy Collins of Florida on a plea that he is dying of lung cancer or tuberculosis. He was to have been examined today. Guard Jimmie G. Simmons of the Florida State prison said Tongay "played possum" when they had a minor auto accident on arriving yesterday afternoon and later sprinted from custody at a downtown restaurant. "He may be sick but he sure can run, Simmons said wryly. Tongay has served one day less than six months of his sen tence in an unprecedented man slaughter conviction for forcing his flaxen-haired daughter Kathy, 5, to make a fatal, 33 foot dive at Miami Beach on May 3, 1953.

Counties with big industrial concentrations beat it. including the counties in which are located the cities of Cleveland, Cincinnati, Akron and Dayton. Possible GOP Issue If the Republicans are look ing for an issue upon which to challenge union leaders, it looks like they may have had it in their grasp. Perhaps the unem ployment compensation hike may have contributed greatly to defeat of the union proposi tion. But the vote was so decis ive it seems reasonable to be lieve the taxpayers and non union consumers liked no part of it. The returns strongly suggest the administration could have made some political hay by chal lenging Reuther last summer on a new round of wage benefits. It's too late now. Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson dared do it last September with a charge that farm equipment industry wage hikes were very much respon sible for the farm price squeeze. But he got in trouble on that and has not dared repeat it. It is not the administration party line. The Republicans are not as politically ,acute as Ohio's Dem ocratic Governor Frank J. Lausche. Lausche helped beat last week's labor thrust in Ohio.
