Newspaper Page Textf MAIL TRIBUNE, Mcdford, Oregon, Monday, April 20, 1959 5 Agreement Lacking In Senate on New Labor Law Approach 1 Br LYLE C. WILSON Washington -CPD- What is going on in the U. S. Senate is a lot of politicking, mostly about how to impose re form on union labor without offending the union bosses. That will not be easy. It would be im possible un less the re- Lyi c. Wilson form were considerably limited. That is what all of the poli ticking is about. Union labor has a great deal of money and millions of votes. Poli ticians upon whom the pres sure of that money and those votes can be brought to bear, therefore, are likely to ap proach labor legislation reluc tantly and with a combination of caution and hope. Senate investigators have exposed in some unions a rec- ' ord of corruption, violence, racketeering and collabora tion of top officials with no torious hoodlums. Senators seem to agree that Congress must pass a- law. There is - mighty little agreement on what kind of law congress should pass. ' Kennedy-Ives Bill The Senate Labor commit tee approved last June the Kennedy-Ives "Labor Man agement Reporting and Dis closure Bill." It would have required disclosure of union financial affairs and secret ballot election of union of ficials. It would have forbid den shake-down picketing. . The bill also would have am ended the Taft-Hartley Act to permit replaced strikers to vote in union representation elections. AFL-CIO f approved the Kennedy-Ives Bill. The Sen ate passed it. The Eisenhower administration objected1 that the bill was too weak. The bill died In the House. The Senate now has three major labor reform bills: The Ken- nedy-Ervin bill, the Goldwat- er bill, which is the legisla tion proposed by the Eisen hower administration, and the McClellan bill. The sub stance of the Goldwater and McClellan bills probably will be offered as amendments to the Kennedy-Ervin bill which is now pending in the Sen ate. The American Enterprise Association, Inc., (AEA) re quires 40 letter-sized mimeo graphed pages to describe the various major labor reform bills and to analyze their dif fering contents. There is one basic difference between, for example, the Kennedy-Ervin and Goldwater "bills which the public should easily com prehend. ' This difference is in the ap proach to the problem of la bor reform. It is this: Shall this labor reform effort seek to correct only abuses of un ion members or shall it also seek to -correct theabuses of organized labor against the public. Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz.) and the Adminis stration would deal with both types of abuses in a single bill. Sen. John F. Kennedy (D Mass.), and his associates would deal with the two forms of abuses separately, taking up first abuses' of un ion bosses against union mem bers. Kennedy promises that if his bill is passed there will be introduced later a bill to protect the public against un ion goons, violence and rack eteering. Against this procedure it is argued that there is little really none at all-assurance that a later bill to protect the public would- be passed. AFL CIO would oppose it. AFL-CIO has accepted the Kennedy-Ervin bill which would not pro tect the public. So long as AFL-CIO ap proves, Senators can vote for the Kennedy-Ervin bill with out fear of labor vengeance at the polls. jmt$m 3 'japs 6 i I I II I I 40 ohtcoi yWo.McQ tuv f AsntcombrvJF - lY V i i I I 1itRlJ"T31 W"J to"" tmW'mm' MONTGOMERY WA RD TT mimm Open Tonight 'til 9 L , -1 J SATURDAY - LAST DAY! k- SAVE $40!

" "" ' Middle-East Again Foreign News Focus By PHIL NEWSOME UPI Foreign Editor From the foreign editor's assignment sheet: Pbii Newkom Oil The tiny independent sheik dom of Kuwait represents ap proximated one quarter of the worlds known oil re serves. It is a British pro tectorate and now the Brit ish fear that once the C o m m unists have com pletely swal lowed up Iraq, they may push into Kuwait, Iraq's next-door neighbor on the Persian Gulf. Kuwait is one of Britain's biggest oU supplier and its loss would be a disaster of the first magni tude for Britain. Incidental ly, oil income equals almost $1,000 per year for every man, woman and child in Ku wait. The West apparently is go ing all-out to shore up tiny Jordan as a Western bastion against Communist expansion from Iraq. Jordan's King Hus sein, who wined and dined across the United States all the way from Honolulu to New York, is getting the same red carpet treatment in Brit ain - even though his visit is described officially as "pri vate". A few days ago, Britain shelled out another two mil lion sterling (fore than $5 million) subsidy to the im poverished kingdom. A role once asigned to Britain's Edward, Prince of Wales, now is being consider ed for Japan's Crown Prince Akihito and his Princess Michiko. They are expected to make a tour abroad within the next year,, capitalizing on their tradition-breaking ro mance. The object: To build up goodwill for Japan and its efforts to expand world mar kets. Michiko, by the way, confesses she suffered "inde scribable tension" during the days before her wedding. At one point, a fitting for her 44 pound wedding kimono had to be postponed for two hours before she could overcome ex treme fatigue and faintness. High Level Mediation Indonesia's President Su karno is being urged by some Afro-Asian diplomats to try to square things between UAR President Nasser and Iraq's Prime Minister Kassem. They point out he leaves Jakarta April 23 on a round-the-world tour. His first stop is Turkey and there diplomats feel he should take a few days to try to patch up things in the Arab world. Meanwhile. Su karno's troubles are not over at home. High level Indones ian intelligence sources pre dict the next outbreak of trouble in rebellion-torn Indo nesia will be Borneo. One rea son: Rebels could come and go much easier than they can at present from Sumatra and the Celebes by going through British Borneo. A recently announced speed-up in Communist North Viet Nam's farm cooperative set-up may fore-shadow the in troduction of a people's com mune system in the former French colony in the next three or four years. ' That's how long it took Red China to shift from cooperatives to communes, and Hanoi now ap pears to have adopted Peip- ing's timetable for Communi zation. The Viet Namese say they wil have cooperatives in stalled in most of the country by the end of this year. If they follow the Chinses Reds, they'll give the peasants until 1962 or 1963 to get used to them before herding them into communes. i " ' " SALE! 7-pc. bronze dinette with FREE utility shelf Heat & stain resistant woodgrain plastic top in beige or mocha walnut.
