Legal Moves Could
Strike as Illegal
Teamster Contracts
Washington PD - Legal
moves here underway today
which could strike down as
illegal teamsters contracts
covering thousands of truck
drivers in 11 .western states.
General counsel Stuart
Rothman of the National La
bor Relations Board took the
first step when he signed a
complaint Wednesday night
challenging the legality of the
contracts. The complaint was
filed by three union members.
The complaint- is against
the Western Conference of
Teamsters, 105 of its affiliated
local unions, and eight big
employer associations It ac
cuses them of enforcing illegal
union shop contracts.
The complaint hinges on
whether the Western Confer
ence is a "labor organization"
under the Taft-Hartley Act
and therefore must file with
the NLRB financial reports
and non-Communist affidavits
by its officers. The confer
ence has not submitted such
data in the past.
Rothman said the contracts
contain a provision requiring
drivers to join a teamsters'
local within 30 days after
they are hired or lose, their
jobs. The union ship is per
mitted by the Taft-Hartley
Act only if the labor organ
izations involved have filed
the required data.
Contracts Illegal
Rothman said the contracts
also were illegal because they
permitted the employers to
give encouragement to the
union. He said the firms rec
ommended that new workers
become members of the union
and "referred them to union
agents.
The contracts cannot be de
clared illegal, however, until
a hearing is held and a trial
examiner's report is submitted
to the board. Either side can
appeal the examiner's ruling
to the five-member board and
its decision can be reviewed
by the courts. The entire pro
cedure could take as long as
two years. .- . .
Joint Negotiating
Sessions Enter 4th
Day; No Break Seen
. New York-TOPD-The langest
consecutive joint negotiating
sessions since the beginning
of the 24-day-old nationwide
steel strike went into tu ;ir
fourth day today, A secret
meeting also was held be
tween top union and industry
spokesmen Wednesday.
Federal Mediation Director
Joseph F. Finnegan said there
was no sign of an immediate
break in the e-onomic dead
lock but he believed contract
issues were beinp discussed
"in a more workmanlike
way."
While negotiating subcom
mittees discussed specific
contract terms Wednesday,
United Steelworkers of Amer
ice (USW) President DavicT J.
McDonald and the head of the
industry bargaining team, R.
Conrad Cooper, met separate
ly, it was disclosed Wednes
day night.
The four -man bargaining
teams began negotiations for
new industry-wide contracts
on May 11 and broke off talks
July 14 after a two-week con
tract extension failed to pro
duce any, change in the posi
tion of eithe- side.
Finnegan brought them to
gether July 27 fo-- their first
meeting sin-e the strike be
gan at midnigb July 14. They
have met daily since Monday,
Aug. 3.
At issue in the dispute,
which is costing the idle in
dustry and the strikers an es
timated $29 million a day, is
the industry's insistence on a
wage and price freeze to com
bat inflation, countered by
the union's assertion that the
profits are high enough to
permit a 15-cert package in
crease without raising prices.
In Washington Rep. Ches
ter A. Bowles (D-Conn.) who
was head of the wartime Of
fice of Price Administration,
suggested the industry cut
prices by $10 a ton and the
union forego a raise. Steel
prices presently average $150
a ton. Wages average $3.10 an
hour. ' '
Business Research
Is Meeting Topic
Most important thing about
a sample in business research
is its representativeness, Dr.
Kenneth Baker informed
members of Medford Kiwanis
club yesterday.
Baker, vice president and
director of research for Cali
fornia Oregon Television, ad
dressed the Kiwanis luncheon
at Rogue Valley Country club
on "Research in Modern Busi
ness." He stressed that a sample
must be properly drawn and
that its representativeness de
termines whether it yields use
ful information. Baker men
tioned that probably the least
important thing about a sam
pling is its size.
Marketing research devel
oped as a result of an increase
in unit cost distribution of
products and is an attempt
to take part of the guesswork
out of the selling function,
Baker reported. He stated that
there is enormous and pow
erful interest in this activity
and that it gained its greatest
impetus during depression
years.
Repurchase Important .
Baker mentioned motiva
tional research, an attempt to
get away from numbers. He
described findings of such
study as stimulating but said
they should be tested before
they are accepted.
Repurchase of an item,
rather than introductory sale,
is the measure of whether
a product is successful, Baker
pointed out. He brought out
that changes in the way of

Jackson, Miss.-fllTO-Lt. Gov.
Carroll Gartin and Jackson
Attorney Ross Barnett, facing
a runoff for governor Aug.
25, looked hungrily today at
an estimated 120,000 votes in
the column of a surprising
newcomer, to Mississippi
politics.
While each mapped plans
for capturing Charles Sulli
van's losing ballots in Tues
day's Democratic primary, it
remained underteTmined
which actually would claim
the lead in final, tabulations
of the initial vote. '
With 96 of 1,855 precincts
unreported, Barnett had 140,
023 votes to 136,213 for Gar
tin. Sullivan had 120,785 and
Robert F. Mason, a welder
who received more laughs
than votes, attracted 2,565
ballots.

. Washington-fUPD-W h a t is
the most effective way of
dealing with Soviet Premier
Nikita S. Khrushchev?
How is his health?
What, if anything, will his
September visit to the United
States accomplish? '
What manner of man is the
Soviet boss? '
How is the Communist
"hate America" campaign
faring?
Why didn't Vice President
Richard M. Nixon and Stefan
Cardinal Wyszynski of Poland
get together while Nixon was
in Warsaw?
These and similar questions
are to the fore now that
Nixqn has returned from
his historic journey to thee
Soviet Union and Poland, and
President Eisenhower will
play host to Khrushchev next
month before going to Russia
himself.
Nixon presumably brought
back with him some up-to-date
tips for the President
on how to deal with Khru
shchev. Wasn't Disclosing Strategy
The vice president, who
picked up valuable exper
ience on that count in his
now-famous "kitchen meet
ing with Khrushchev, was
not disclosing any strategy.
However the consensus is
that, as far as the Russian
leaders are concerned, Ameri
can leaders must get across
to . them the fact that the
United States is - strong and
that it has the will to use
that strength.
One school of thought is
that the sweetness-and-light-and-sugar
approach does not
help in dealing with the Rus
sians. This group feels that
while tough talk should be
answered with talk just as
tough, sometimes the situa
tion calls for finessing ' a
point. For example, this view
is that American officials
should finesse Khrushchev
off whenever he flexes his
missiles."
That view can be stated
as follows:

There' is no point in argu
ing about detail if Khrush
chev says he can destroy
London with four missiles
and New York with six. The
best answer is to smile and
say "Fine, we are not going
to argue or question that: but
a
we are strong, too," and
neither you nor we are strong
enough to knock the other
out. But whoever starts any
thing is going to get the hell
kicked out of him, too. It
will be suicide for the one
who starts it. It will . be a
double knockout."
This school also holds that,
as to military position, "there
is nothing wnrsp -nit rnn in
than shiver and shake and
say we are worried; we must
not only assume that he
(Khrushchev) has strength but
the will to use it. If we don't
go to the bargaining table
with the same strength he'll
kick hell out of us at the
bargaining table."
Observers who saw Khru
shchev at close quarters pub
licly and some who saw him
in private conversations came
to the same general con
clusion he seemed full of
rugged stamina, alert and in
fine form. Some observers
thought that he was ready to
"blow his stack." At 64, Khru
shchev drives himself un
mercifully, and the . pace
sometimes shows, especially
at the end of a long day.
Some of those who com
pare Khrushchev to Stalin,
say that whereas Communism
was a means of power for
Stalin, it is a religion with
Khrushchev. As such one
view is that regardless of
what he sees in the United
States he will see it through
Communist eyes and magnify,
distort and compress what he

American officials realize
that they are not going to
