Cleaning Up The Unions
Ironic as it may seem, it would hardly be an
over-simplification to say that if Congress gets
around to passing the Kennedy-Ives labor reform
bill, the death of Krank Kierdorf, an ex-convict
agent for the International Brotherhood of Team
sters, will be responsible. A general measure
aimed at ensuring democratic practices in trade
unions, the bill, among other provisions, requires
unions to file with the Secretary of Labor, and to
furnish each union member, a detailed report on
their organization, membership rules, and busi
ness procedures.
Kierdorf was only one of many ex-convicts
associated with the Teamsters. His death on Aug.
7, after apparently having set fire to himself white
putting the torch to a dry-cleaning plant, served
to resuscitate the Kennedy-Ives bill, which up
until then had appeared moribund.
A SIDE FROM the general public concern over
"the disclosures by the Senate Select (McClel
lan) Committee on Improper Activities in the La
bor or Management Field, there apparently is in
the ranks of labor a very real feeling that some
thing must be done to curb the Teamsters' presi
dent, Jimmy Hoffa.
A.F.L.-C.I.O. President George Meany de
clared on Aug. 1 his "firm belief" that any agree
ment between the Teamsters and A.F.L.-C.I.O.
unions would be "an alliance detrimental to the
long-term welfare and interests of all workers
and all unions affiliated to our movement." More
over, said Meany, labor "can expect" the enact
ment of "drastic restrictive legislation adversely
affecting clean unions as well as corruptly domi
nated ones."
. Labor, which at first had appeared unhappy
with the Kennedy-Ives bill, now seems to back it
as less restrictive than it might have been. Simi

voted 83-2, an amendment by Sen. Gordon Allott
(R-Colo.), making clear that conferences and as
sociations of labor representatives, such as the
Western Conference of Teamsters, are subiect to
its provisions.
THE TEAMSTERS, according to John Herling,

"crawling- with criminality." Herlino- ones nn tn
charge that Hoffa's "best friends are hoods."
The complaint is not new. Robert F. Kennedy,
chief counsel for the McClellan committee and
a brother of Sen. John
told a Notre Dame alumni and student group on
j?eo. zz:
"Gerald Connelly, a dynamiter and extortionist,
was named a Teamster business agent in Minneapolis
after being linked to a murder in Miami, Fla.; Her
man and Frank Kierdorf landed comfortable jobs with
Hoffa-controlled locals in Michigan after emerging
from the penitentiary in Ohio for armed robbery; Bar
ney Baker, a former New York waterfront thug, is a
personal organizing representative of Hoffa in the
Midwest; Joseph Glimco, twice arrested for murder
and the crony of Capone gang mobsters, is a trustee of
a Chicago local; Harry Friedman was appointed head
of an Ohio local after emerging from a penitentiary;
and I might hasten to point out that this is a very in
complete list."
E.R.R.
Watch Yugoslavia
Now you see him, now you don't. Now he's
on our side, now he rakes us over the coals. Now
he bawls out the Russians, now plays footie with
them, now bawls them out again and is again
bawled out by them.
That's what Tito of Yugoslavia calls being
neutralist.
While the Hashemite regime of Iraq was
being overthrown in the twinkling of an eye on
July 14, Tito had just finished playing host to
Nassar of Egypt on the island of Brioni. Tito at
once bitterly denounced the United States for
landing troops in Lebanon. His erstwhile guest
paid a hasty visit to Moscow.
Then Tito sent a series of messages to so
called uncommitted states, including India, pro
posing joint action by the neutrals on the Middle
East crisis. Thus the Yugoslav dictator was ob
viously trying to create a neutralist bloc of which
he'd be leader.
'T'lTO cannot hope to achieve overnight the high
international stature of Nehru, but the Indian
neutralist is, after all, almost 70. Nasser also may
profess neutralism, but the uncommitted states
know that the Cairo radio spews out intemperate
anti-American and anti-British propaganda inces
santly, anti-Soviet propaganda seldom if ever.
Tito's Communism is intensely nationalistic
(as against the international brand out of Mos
cow and Peking). So he could tap the national
istic fervor of peoples just emerged from colonial
ism even if they don't subscribe to the gospel ac
cording to Marx and Lenin. And with Nehru an
nouncing he doesn't plan to attend the current
U.N. General Assembly sessions on the Middle
East crisis, the way Is clear for Yugoslavia to try
for neutralist leadership there. E.R.R. -

Washington Report
By William S. White
Washington The least par
tisan peacetime Congress in
memory and the most quiet
ly productive in legislative
'1 a c h i evement
is drawing to
a close.
This, the
85th Congress,
has been un
dramatic, un
bitter and in
strictly head
line terms,
rather unin-
wiiiiam s.'white - e r esting. It
has made no great national
issue. But at no time has it
divided the nation. It has op
erated with almost none of
the violent debates that used
to be commonplace.
Compromise, a c c ommoda-
tion and private negotiations
among the leading figures in
both parties have largely re
placed the old-time collisions
on the floors of both Houses.
It is in this way that most of
the long and solid legislative
record has been made.
This is the extraordinary
fact of this second and final
session of "the 85th": On pre
cisely two of 20 major issues
have there been strictly par
tisan fights. These two issues
have been farm and labor
legislation.
SUCH great matters as the
reciprocal - trade, foreign -
aid and- space-age planning
programs have been handled
cooperatively between the
leaders and the rank and file
of both parties.
Thus, though this Congress
has been under Democratic
control, its work has not been
Democratic as such. Rather,
it has been simply Congres
sional the product of a uni
fied institution rather than of
competing parties.
And this institution has usu
ally led President Eisenhower
rather than being led by him.
Traditionally, it is the White
House that demands a well-defined
legislative program and
the Congress that replies yes,
no, or perhaps.
But the 85th Congress has,
on the whole, laid out the pro
gram itself. It has, of course,
sometimes accepted Presiden
tial recommendations. But
mainly it has been the initi
ating force, in. legislative pol
icy. More than any other term,
the word "professionalism"
best describes these opera
tions. The Senate has had
two oddly-matched party lead
ers in Senator Lyndon B.
Johnson of Texas for the
Democrats and Senator Wil
liam F. Knowland of Califor
nia for the Republicans.
IN MANY ways, they could
not be more different. John

THE SALES MANAGER of a mighty business machine or
ganization told a group on an inspection tour, "Gentlemen,
this is our crowning glory a machine that can duplicate the
exact workings of a man's
brain." "Now you're exag
gerating," scoffed one visi
tor. Just then, however, a
curvaceous lass undulated
across the floor. The machine
gave a long," low whistle.
The skeptic bowed low. "My
apologies," he, said. "You
were absolutely right."

tion of an Illinois city has just

son is a subtle, imaginative
and temperamental floor mar
shal. He is the ablest "pro"
and considered so even by
those who disapprove of him
that the Senate has known
in generations. Knowland is
stolid, immovable and heavy.
' He is, however, a granite
monument of a man in per
sonal and legislative integ
rity a man with whom agree
ments can be made without
the slightest doubt that they
will be kept at any cost.
The fact that his Senate ca
reer is ending he is now
running uphill for governor of
California is regretted by
practically everybody in the
Senate. This includes John
son himself, .for professional
ism, at least, the two have in
common.
In the House, two leaders
with 80 years of Congression
al service between them have
been drawn together more
than ever before. They are
Speaker Sam Rayburn of
Texas for the Democrats and
Representative Joseph W.
Martin Jr. of Massachusetts
for the Republicans.
It has been the Senate, how
ever, which has most typified
this new kind of Congress.
And the Senate has reflected
Johnson's policies of modera
tion and what he calls "re
sponsibility." By responsibil
ity he means a refusal ever to
commit his party to opposi
tion merely for opposition's
sake.
fPHE air of the Senate char-
- acterized by more action
and less talk than . that body
is accustomed to has become
also the air of the House.
Whether all this has been
good depends largely on the
question: Good for whom? It
seems hardly debatable that
the immediate interests of the
country have been promoted
by a calm and constructive
Congress.
It sems hardly more debat
able that the personal inter
ests of Democratic Congress
men have been served. For in
two previous Congressional
elections, during the height of
power of a Republican Presi
dent in 1954 and in 1956
the same Johnson policies re
turned Democratic majorities
to both Houses.
,What'is entirely debatable,
however, is the effect of the
Johnson approach on the
Presidential election in 1960.
Will the accumulating years
of this approach which
mutes controversy and issue
making and always demands
more action will serve or iU
serve the Democratic Presi
dential nominee?

Matter of Fact
THE AUTHENTIC VOICE
Washington The Senate
put- on a pretty remarkable
show the other day a show
that was at
once flesh
crawling, won
derfully e n
couraging and
deeply mov
ing. The show
began on what
must surely
be the most
eerie measure
Jospb Alsop
ever considered by the Amer
ican Congress an amendment
to the Military Appropriations
Bill by Sen. Richard . Russell
of Georgia, forbidding the De
fense Department to spend
any of its appropriated funds
on plans for the surrender of
the United States.
The occasion of the amend
ment was a story- published in
the "St. Louis Post Dispatch"
by Brig. Gen. Thomas Phil
lips. Gen. Phillips revealed
that the Air Force subsidiary,
the RAND Corp., had been
peering ahead into the years
when the Soviet Union is due
to acquire overwhelming su
periority in nuclear striking
power. Contemplation of this
period, wrote Gen. Phillips
with complete accuracy, had
led the - RAND scientists to
make a study of the circum
stances in which the United
States ought to surrender.
THE Republicans, led by
Sen. William R. Knowland
of California, were indignant
at the mere suggestion that
the Eisenhower administra
tion could be studying sur
render, as the Russell amend
ment seemed to imply.
But what made the debate
so eerie was the simple fact
that no one, on either side of
the aisle, really tried to defy
the grim facts that "had im
pelled the RAND scientists to
make their grim study. Sen.
Symington of Missouri vouch
ed for the accuracy of the
facts. Sen. Saltonstall of
Massachusetts; the Senate's
leading hoper-against-hope, re
plied that no doubt the Soviets
might get ahead of us in some
important ways, but we were
still ahead in others. That was
the most that anyone attempt
ed in the way of optimism.
Then, much later in the
crowded day, Saltonstall's
young Massachusetts col
league, Jack Kennedy, rose
to make one of the most re
markable speeches on Ameri
can defense and national strat
egy that this country has
heard since the end of the last
war. It was a speech about
those same facts that drove
the RAND scientists to make
their hideous calculations. It
was a speech that . every
thoughtful American ought to
read and ponder. It's theme
was simple.
"We must realize," said Ken
nedy bleakly, . "that the nu
clear ' deterrent ratio during
1960-'64 will in all likelihood
be weighted very heavily
against us."
17'ENNEDY dealt in facts
A- much more detailed and
hard facts than Senators like
Symington and Jackson .of
Washington have been able to
deal in, because they are im
neded by their access to classi
fied information, and Ken
nedy is not thus impeded. He
showed the gradual weaken
ing of the American nuclear
deterrent, the rapid gain in
Soviet nuclear striking power
during the so-called years of
the "gap." He described the
"missile lag" in the period
when present American de
fense policies wil concede an
immense superiority in missile-power
to the enemy.
"The Soviets," he remarked
with bitterness, "will be as
aware of their advantage dur
ing the years of the gap as we
are . . . and nuclear destruc
tion is not the only way in
which the Soviets will be able
to use their advantage . . .
Their missile power will be
the shield from behind which
they will slowly but surely
advance through 'Sputnik
diplomacy limited both by
wars, indirect aggression, in
timidation and subversion . . .
and the vicious blackmail of
our allies . . . The balance of
power will gradually shift
against us. Each Soviet move
will weaken the . West, but
none will seem to justify our
initiating the nuclear war that
might destroy us."
BUT enough has been said
already to suggest why
this strange day in the Senate
was flesh-crawling. What
made it encouraging was hear
ing the hard facts being laid
on the line at last, in this era
of officially propagated com
placency. What made it even
more encouraging was hear
ing Kennedy's calm but bold
call for a vastly greater Amer
ican effort to overcome the
danger of the years of the
"gap." And what made the
day downright stirring was
hearing this young Senator,
himself no stranger to war or
danger, confidently forecast
ing that there was no future

President Eisenhower's sig
nature is regarded as certain.

did news because it insures
that this great resource will

that it will be kept producing
trees and FIBER perpetually.
It insures watershed protec
tion. The future of Southern
Oregon and Far Northern
California is all bound up in
adequate and PERPETUAL
supplies of fiber and water.
Fiber and water are our
GREAT NATURAL RE
SOURCES. Upon them depends our fu
ture. rFHIS is a good time to give
some credit for this really
important achievement where
the credit is due.
Chief credit should go to
the Management Specialists,
for they were the first to real
ize the defects of the original
termination act. They were
the first to propose some
form of government purchase
of the reservation lands. Their
study of the problem of liqui
dation convinced them that
if this great body of timber
was thrown on the market at
auction to the highest bidder
the inevitable result would be
that the Indian owners would
fail to receive a fair price for
their property.
At the same time, they real
ized that disposal of the Klam
ath reservation timber under
the original law "would be
likely to result in ultimate
great damage to this' tre
mendously important asset.
So they suggested purchase
of the lands by the federal
government.
SENATOR NEUBERGER of
Oregon agreed with them.
So he introduced a bill pro
viding for federal purchase
of the timber, which would
be added to the national for
ests. '
Later on, Secretary of In
terior Seaton offered an al
ternate proposal that private
enterprise be given an op
portunity to purchase all or a
part of these timber lands at
the appraised price. Under his
proposal, the government
would buy the lands not pur
chased by private operators.
This appealed to Senator
Neuberger as a reasonable so
lution of the problem, and he
withdrew his own bill and in
troduced the department of
the interior bill. In consider
ably amended form, this is
the bill that has just been
approved by the congress.
GREAT credit is due to Sen
ator Neuberger. He has
worked unceasingly to bring
about the enactment of the
bill that has just been ap
proved. He has made its final
enactment his MAJOR inter
est. He FORGOT POLITICS
and devoted his efforts to the
welfare of his state and its
people.
That is STATESMANSHIP.
In this session of congress,
Senator Neuberger has joined
danger which an aroused and
mobilized American people
would not and could not over
come. Kennedy borrowed his clos
ing words from Churchill:
"Come then, let us to the task,
to the battle and the toil
each to our part, each to our
station let us go forward to
gether in all parts of tlje land.
There is not a week, nor a
day, nor an hour to be lost."
This was the language,
charged with remembered
glory, of the greatest English
man of the century. But the
voice the voice that passed
facts, that rejected every com
placency, that called for ef
forts worthy of this country
and its role was the authen
tic voice of America. .

ALL-OREGON SHOW
The suggestion by the Ore
gonian that Ashland's Shake

to Portland in the centennial
year of 1959 didn't go over
very well in southern Oregon.
It was termed a "high hand
ed suggestion."
Definitely, it was. and it
pinpoints something Portland-

RESTORATION
Residents of Southern Ore
gon are talking about restor
ing the town of Jacksonville
in time for the Oregon Cen
tennial. They feel this old
town, which boomed in the
1850s upon the discovery of
gold in the area, would toe a
prime tourist attraction, as
well as a sort of shrine dedi
cated to the picturesque his
tory of Oregon.
We hope they do restore it
if they can finance the proj
ect and if they can get the
job done in time for next
year's tourists who wiU be, in
a manner of speaking, centen
nail tourists. But we hope
they don't go too far in re
storation" and too far in turn
ing what can be a charming
old town into . just another
tourist trap.
Nevada has had some suc
cess with Virginia City which
was the real thing in the Com-
stock lode days after 1859.
Virginia City is "restored."
And how! It is restored so far
that tourists come away with
the impression they've seen a
Hollywood performance and
with the suspicion they've
been taken un a tourist trap
At the other end of the
scale are some of the towns in
the gold rush country of Cal

and Grass Valley on the north
to the Sonora area on the
south, towns like Placerville,
Angel's Camp, Amador City,

almost not at all since the

much doubt about where he
stood. They developed a lik-
ing for him even though they
found it hard to get to know
him.
Like most effective con
gressional floor leaders,
Knowland has had a foot in
each of the two camps of his
party. His biggest headlines
came, however, when he
spoke as a -conservative critic
of the Eisenhower administra
tion.
Labor Law Views
More recently he has
squared off against labor lead
ers and pressed for a federal
law to guarantee democracy
in unions and a state right to
work law in California.
Whether this tack was poUti-
cally wise will not be known
until November when Know
land will win or lose the race
for the governorship of Cali
fornia. He is now the under
dog. Regardless of the political
consequences, it could be
taken for granted that once
Knowland had chosen- his
road he would stick to it
whether it led to Sacramento
or political oblivion.
It has been five years since
the late Sen. Robert A. Taft
handpicked Knowland, then
45, as his successor to lead
the Republican side of the
Senate. Knowland also in
herited Taft's role as chief
spokesman for the conserva
tive wing of the GOP, al
though ' he had been some
thing of a Young Turk in his
earlier years.
Similar Qualities
Both Taft and Knowland
were less conservative than
some of their warmest admir
ers. They had other qualities
in common, too. Both were
tireless workers and strong
partisans, willing to do their
homework and unwilling to
disguise their no-nonsense
feelings with diplomatic nice
ties. Knowland at first lacked
the sensitivity needed to cal
culate what the Senate could
or could not be persuaded to
do. But he learned fast, even
if he never acquired the fi
nesse of his Democratic coun
terpart, Sen. Lyndon B. John
son. Still only 50, Knowland
could be a commanding fig
ure as governor of California
in later election years. If de-,
feated, he would be virtually
dead as a national political
force. - '
