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.

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.

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."
