pECAUSE of the Smorgasbord, the cafeterias

School buses were used to transport students
to the Smorgasbord.
Educational schedules were disrupted by the

tlTHAT about the students who. didn't want to

What about the use of school buses to carry
students to such an event? And what about the

Labor Courts Needed
For years, the senior
Mail Tribune, who signs his pieces "R.W.EL",
Called for the establishment of labof courts, to
which labor-management
when collective bargaining fails to produce a
settlement
He has done so in the belief that present
means Of settling deadlocked disputes , are un
wieldy and unrealistic, and that the overriding
interest of the public must be protected.
Seldom has this thesis received Stronger sup
porting evidence than frOfti the present steel
strike, nOvf three months old.
I7 ALTER Lippmatnn, in an article which ap
peared on this page yesterday, came5 to a
Similar if not identical, conclusion
He declares the nation needs a "big stick"-
the rierht to comnel arbitration if heCesSarv
through Some agency which, whatever its form,
would be a "court of last resort" ifi the DrOteC-
tion of the public's interest in nationwide labor
disputes.;
Lippmann paints the background aS follows:
". . What was to have1 been a test of 'the method
of free bargaining' has gone on since July,' and the
method of free bargaining has failed in the task. Why
did it? if failed because the issues of the steel strike
were ndt ones to which the method of free bargaining
applies i?. . ;
"Oii the side of labor the ultimate issue is1 its right
to share in the larger profits of tM companies. On the
side, of management the ultimate issue is to put a stop
to the spiral of wage' increases since the Second World
War and to recover some of the ground lost to labor
since that time.
"Here then is & case of industrial warfare between
giant business and giant labor. It is a test of power
and of will in which the two parties ifi hot bargain
ing and will not compromise their differences ...
"The claim that a strike of the"se" dimensions and
of such consequences is a private affair, not a proper
subject of national interest, is entirely untenable ...
"The national interest is not only that a settlement
should be reached, and production resumed. There is
a prime national interest in the terms on which the
strike is settled. The day is past wherl this country "
can tolerate 'free' bargaining by which labor gets"
higher wages and management puts up the prices.
The national interest demands that the major indus
trial conflicts be settled under 6bnditidns which are
' good for the economy as a whole. That being the case,
some agency has to have the authority to speak for the
national interest when a conflict arises it"
..--.
LIPPMANN goes on to suggest that the agency

compulsion would be seldom used, simply be
cause it is available in caSe of need. -Perhaps
he is right.
But it sticks in our mind that it would be
fiitlch iriOf e in ling with our national traditions of
an independent and scrupulous judiciary to set
up the agency in the form of a court, where the
pros and cons of a deadlocked dispute could be
gene into in the calm atmosphere traditional in
judicial proceedings, and a ruling issued on the
merits of the case, and ifi the light Of the national
interests at stake.
:;
f ABOR unions, as they have developed ifi this
"country, are a strong Bulwark of democracy,
afidj in many cases, of economic justice.
In the last 30 years they have become fiiOfd
than that ; they have become giant organizations
which can dominate whole areas of the economy,
and of the nation's well-being.
At the turn of the century giant industrial
coinbines were regulated in the public interest j
in the new labor law, labor unions are being
similarly curtailed.
: But when the twd clash, the nation is, in large
part, helpless. The time has come when the peo
ple of this country should have the machinery to
say to both, "Thus far, and no farther."
- A' COUfl system for this purpose is needed.

might seem to seek him, is a
creature of the indispensable
element of timing.
So. too, with Johnson. For
four reasons he could not in
the past have presented him
self as an outright aspirant -
and indeed even now he ean
never go quite that far. In the
first place,- he is the Democra
tic leader of the Senate and
so he simply cannot afford to
put his owri ambitions ahead
of his central responsibility to
serve his party generally.

Court To Hear Union
Case; Implications Important
Three members of the pres
ent court, however, seem not
wholly disposed to follow
that trend when the complain
ing minority of individuals
cite alleged suppression of
their rights by A majority of
their" fellow union members.
The noW-pendihg case arose
in Ge6r"gia A few employees
of the Southern Railway sued
to forbid their union to use
dues to make expenditures for
political objectives which the
complaining employees op
posed. The complaining em
ployees are compelled by fed
eral statute to belong to the
union t6 hold their jobs. It is
a union shop situation.
They are unable, therefore,
to withdraw their financial
If the seller can't meet this

that's one reason we get such
a bargain in government cars.
There are other reasons, in
cluding the fact we buy in
big lots, and usually, at times
when assembly lines aren't
running full.
. That's Why it is still not
certain how widely the new
compact cars will replace
standard models in the gov
ernment fleet. Nobody knows
yet What kind of price manu
facturers will offer on the
small cars. Maybe they won't
be able to shave bids on these
cars as deep, proportionately,
as on the regular models.

Cigarettes
To the Editor! Contf ibuting
to delinquency of minors is
serious offense, fine that
has landed ifiiny an offender
in court for a tongue-lashing
Shd Warning to loss of liberty
and public shame beHind
prison bars. But why are
much greater offenders ' al
lowed to do this, all for a
price under governhient per
ffiit?
The federal tax tobacco
companies pay allows them
to manufacture the Sniff into
Cigarettes. Does it allow them
to put thousands, or shall we
say millions, of dollars of
support of the union resign
their' membership without
also resigning their employ
ment. That is what makes this
case an especially hot one.
The narrow area of individual
rights in which the issue is
raised contributes also to the
political importance of this
case.
The Supreme Court has
agreed to hear arguments and
to decide it. It would be dif
ficult for the court to render
an opinion without establish
ing as the law of the land
either:
That a union Tnembef
cannot be compelled to con
tribute toward political ex
penditures for objectives
which he opposes, or;
of the new lighter cars. With
regular cars, it has set a high
economy standard. Car costs
in pools, including deprecia
tion, have been cut td 7.3
cents per mile. '
However, specifications are
now being drafted to cover
the compacts. Early next
month, the general services
administration will advertise
for bids on maybe 10,000 carsf
including a substantial but
still undisclosed number of
compacts, for delivery ill
February, March and April
Meantime, our top car buy1
ers still tend to travel in
taxis. Despite all they've dohg
to keep down the cost of driv
ing government cars, they
told a House committee they
took cabs to Capitol Hill; It's
cheaper that way, they ex
plained. their profits into increasing
alluring advertising of the
cigarette via the printed page,
by radio voice and same With
pictured TV? As one sharp-
witted young teenager replied
to my questioning of the hew
and greatly strengthened
1959 law which proposes to
bar" smoking of cigarettes by
eta young people under ig
years of age: "Why get the
laW after us? We are just
the end result of all this plead
ing of cigarette makers to try
one of their cigarettes, bo
Cdmforting, so smoothe, so
satisfying with magazine pie
lures and TV too, to empha
size it?"
His reply brought to mind
something of like ' nature
ruminating there, but tod ab
stract to get into definite
form. The two youths were
loitering by me while wait
ing for the missus. Their mis
chievous grinned remark df
Christmas coming soon had
reference to my lengthening
white beard, but it did give
me opportunity to get a teert
ager reaction to the new cig
arette law that our enforce
ment agencies have aii-
nouhced plans" to put it into
effect, ihost Commendable in
deed, asking as they do for
public cooperation. But, as the
teenager brought out, what
chance is there for success
of the new law when the cig
arette makers handicap it
with their subtle and alluring
advertising?
One most encouraging fea
ture is a TV station located
in a rural area that refuses
ail tobacco and liquoi ad-
vertising, even in its national
network. This is surely one
heartening . way out of the
sdrfy ftlCsS. For sorry it is and
safe to say that 90 per, cent
or more of cigarette smokers
are sorry they ever started
the habit that is nearly as"
hard to break as the riefar
ious, soul destroying one bt
narcotics.
To my way of thinking, it
would be much better for ouf
congressmen to put their ef
forts to this serious social
problem, father than to" the

Rules
Td the Editor.' Twelve
rules for raising delinquent
children:
1. Be'giri with infancy to
give the Child everything he
Wants; in this way he will
grew up to think the world
gwe him a living. "
2. When he picks" up bad
words, laugh at him, Tkis will
make him think he's cute It
Will also -encourage him to
pick up-"cuter" phrases that
Will blow 6ff the top of your
head later.- .
3. Never give him any
spiritual training.; Wait until
h is 21 and then let him
decide for himself.
4; Avoid the us of the
word "Wrong"! It may de
velop a guilt complex. This
Will condition him to believe
later, when" he is arrested
for stealing a car, that society
is against him and he Is being
persecuted. .
5. Pick up everything fie
leaves lying around - books,
shoes and cl6thing. Do everjir
thing for him so he will be
experienced at throwing all
responsibility onto others.
6. Let hint read any print
ed matter he can get his hands
on. Be careful that the silver
and drinking glasses are sterl-
ized, but let his mind feast
on garbage.
7. Quarrel, frequently in
the presence of your Chil
dren. Iri thiS way they will
hot be tod Shocked when the
home is broken up later.
8. Give a child all the
Spending money he wants.
Never let him earn his own.
Why should he have things
as rough as yoU had them?
9, Satisfy his every crav
ing for food, drink and com
fort. See that every sensual
deSif e is gratified. Denial may
lead to harmful frustration.
10. Take his. part against
neighbors, teachers and po
licemen. They are all preju-
diced against your child.
11. When he gets into real
trouble, apologize for y6ur
Self by Saying "I never could
dr anything with hirn." ,
12. Prepare for a life of
grief YoU will be apt to have
it.
Those thought are not
original With Me, as noted
abovef but I would like to
add another rule Which Will
help make a delinquent out
6f y6uf Child.
13. Don't bother to send
him td Sunday school or
church. You af e a pretty good
guy yourself and you don't
bother with churches, so why
should your child have to
dress up each Sunday morn-
ing and listen to a lot of out-
moded stuff?
