Thursday, Fefejww? &, 195 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREK Uil ion Leaders Itfail Hew Formula for Ending Warfare Over Jot: lights Miami Beach, Fla. HP AFL-CIO leaders today hail ed a new formula for ending interunion warfare over job rights, and said it might spur a lagging organization cam paign. Disputes between craft unions and industrial unions will be handled by a rovinf two-man team in an effort to resolve them on the basis s past practice. Meanwhile, the AFL-CTO Executive Council plannat 4 dissect President Eisaiqrr- er's prepf&tfs to Congress for nev labor legislation. Labor leaders expected to blast ptrts of b President's pro gram tt would require se cret ballot elections of most officers. Uaiw faitinjg to comply ith t- Lav would be sub ject o lass of tax exempt sta V4 Jrtd forfeit their rights to i Tiers of the National La bar Relations Board. Tfte new plan to settle jur isdictional problems was an nounced Wednesday by George Meany, AFL-CIO pres ident. The Building Trades Department, which has fought previous attempts to reach an agreement, approved it. Will Oppose GOP Senators On the political front, the AFL-CIO said it probably would try to defeat a dozen Republican senators seeking reelection next fall. It will probably support nine Demo cratic senators for another term and may oppose two others. James L. McDevitt, direc tor of the AFL-CIO Commit tee on Political Education, said a labor organization at the state level would make final endorsements, but indi cated there was little doubt what choices would be made. The AFL-CIO will try to raise S900.000 to use for po litical education and assisting candidates, McDevitt said. GOP Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona leads the AFL CIO list of "undesirables." McDevitt said there was no doubt labor would back Ari- Complacency Regarding War Threat (Greatest Worry off Gen. Curtis leMay By LOUIS CASSEL9 United Prett Correspto Washington W Gen. CurtiJ E. LeMay is a veookai man. Anyone else who beliTA what LeMay believes abxi the state of our defenses prob ably would be a frightanad man. But when you look at La May's round, impassive f, with the cigar clamped defi antly in his jaw, you feel that this man has never really been frightened. Alarmed, perhaps, but not frightened. "I think," he said slowly, biting viciously at his cigar, "that the situation is mere dangerous than the public seems to realize. ."I am not willing to con cede defeat, ever. But we have a long way to go. I do not believe we are acting fast enough." LeMay is the four-star gen eral who built our atom bomber force, the Strategic Air Command. Now he's vice chief of staff of the U.S. Air Force. Because he has become a personal symbol of the air power which is America's principal shield against ag gression, he was chosen to represent the military profes sion in answering the question which the United Press asked of six leading Americans: "What troubles you most as you look at America today?" His answer was "compla cency lack of understand ing of the threat we face." LeMay is the most grimly earnest man this reporter has ever met. He did not smile j once during the interviev.J There was no chit-chat. 1 Like all top military offi- cials today, LeMay is required to submit his public utter- ( ances to Defense Department I clearance. You suspect that ' this requirement inhibits him, that what he could say on the record was only a shadow of 1 the concern he feels. ' But what he' said was dis-' turbing enough: The Russians are rapidly overtaking us in strategic air Allied Council Elects Officers Officers for 1958 were elect ed this week for the Veterans' Allied Council of Jackson county. Those elected are president, Keegan Townsend, comman der of the Medford American Legion post; vice president, Jforvin R. Walters, member of the Medford Barracks, Vet erans of World War I; ser-geant-at-arms. Merrill O. Nenkaof the Medford VFW, treasurer, Edward Smith of the Medford VFW; and secre tary, Patrick Graham, secre tary of the Jackson county Disabled American Veterans. Merrill Beneka was ap pointed chairman of the par ades and veterans obser vances committee. Vic David and Ray Huson were appoint ed assistants. The group reaffirmed its ttand in favor of installation of medical and surgical facili ties t the veteran's adminis tration domiciliary at Camp White by endorsing the Eagle Point Grange resolution. The group also passed several reso lutions on the proposed hos pital which they plan to send to Oregon congressmen, serv ice organizations in the area and various veterans' organi zations in Oregon. The next meeting of the group will be held in the VFW hall, 42 North Front st., on March 3. power airplane power. "I personally believe that if the pnsaE-nt trend continues, the Soviet fleet of long - range bombers may well be might ier than our own in a short ime perhaps 1959, by 1860 $i the latest." If and when j.tbat happens, we will be wide open to a surprise attack. LeMay does not agree with the theory held widely else where in the Pentagon that war is unlikely, so long as America has sufficient strength to strike back hard. "I just can't believe that you can deter anyone from attacking you when you have less military strength than they have," he said. "Security to me calls for creating a situation which makes it clear to all the world who is ahead and who is going to win hands-down if there is a war." zona Gov. Ernest McFarland, a Democrat, against Goldwa ter next fall. Senate Republi can leader William Know land, in the race for govern or of California, unquestion ably will be opposed by the AFL-CIO, McDevitt said. Goldwater and Knowland inccurred the union's wrath by favoring laws to ban the union shop. McDevitt listed these other GOP senators who probably will encounter labor opposi tion this year: William Purtell, Conn.; John Williams, Del.; Freder ick Payne, Maine; J. Glenn Beal, Md.; Charles E. Potter, Mich.; Edward Thye, Minn.; Roman L. Hruska. Neb George Malone, Nev.; John W. Bricker, Ohio; Chapman Revercomb, W. Va. and Frank Barrett, Wyo. McDevitt said AFL-CIO leaders would like to help de feat Democratic Sens. Harry Byrd, Va., and 'Spessard Hol land, Fla., but no opposing candidates have appeared against either one. Try and Stop Me -By BENNETT CERF- A DAPPER SOCIETY DENTIST is a rock V r.eU addict i spare hours. He was adjusting the drill rn a pretty pa tient's mouth when he absent-minedly inquired, "Wbat sje4 do you prefer: 78, 45, or thirty-three and a third?" The truly distinguished A. ben Barkley,- lifelong Demo crat, once defined a bureaucrat as a "Democrat who holds an office that some Republican wants." He added that when Republicans say they want to stabilize the farmer, they mean "foreclose on all his stock and move him into the stable." A ready Republican replied to the then V.-P. by observ ing that "Democrats were like an iceberg: 10 per cent visible, 90 per cent submerged, n 189 spy cent at sea."
