O o o o o o o FOUKTZEJf MZDFORD fOBIOON) MAIL tribune Key Labor (Unions !n Western Europe SaSd ControDDed by MiHitant Communists London W Militant Com munists are in control of key labor unions in Western Europe. They could damage, perhaps wreck, its defense against Rus . tia in time of war. On a signal from Moscow, it is likely too that Red-led strikes and sabotage could hamper new American plans to step up the atomic potential of the NATO countries. Those coficlusions are drawn from a United Press survey of Communist strength in labor unions among our closest allies in West Europe. The Reds failed in their first open drives after World War II to grab economic and political control in France and Italy through mass strikes and direct labor front attack. But they have now won major successes by less direct methods seizing .key positions in union councils, touching off flash strikes to keep their "shock troops" in trim and engaging in almost unnoticeable subversion- ary activities.

Most Western European Com munist parties are on record as endorsing strikes or sabotage in case of war with Russia. French Communist Maurice Thorez and Italian Palmiro Tog liatti declared in 1949 that the people and workers would wel come the Soviet army "in pur suit of the aggressors."
