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

also receiving lay-off pay. 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

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.

organized labor. 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.
