Oram 111 !004 The Prudential INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA wiltiiN mom! orrici tot anohh bower's Gettysburg headquarters, said labor unions have a right to deal In political Issues. Eisenhower said that in such ex pression the rights of minorities In unions having "differing social, economic and political views must be scrupulously protected and their views accurately reflected." The President and his labor Cabinet officer appeared to be an swering, in part at least, the ex pressed fears of some Republicans that unions are taking too active a political role. The speeches also signaled an administration effort to vie actively with the Democrats for the labor vote In the 1959 cam paign. Gov. Averell Harrlman of New York, a potential candidate for the Democratic presidential nomina tion next year, aald in another speech prepared for the conven tion today that "we need more, no; less, participation by working men and women in American political affairs." Harrlman saw "a glorious op portunity" to Increase national pro duction by So per cent in the next decade and thereby improve living conditions. But "to get this expan sion, we must have wise and progressive policies," he said. "It is up to labor to make Us voice heard to be sure we have those policies," he added. Mitchell said AFL-CIO leaders have denied they will "try to con trol the votes of union members" but wllV keep members Informed on political issues. Nobody, he said, can object to that kind of political activity. He said he expects the 16-milllon-member labor federation to sup port the labor policies Which have marked the Elsenhower adminis tration. Elsenhower's address was hailed as a "very fine message" by AFL CIO President George Meany. Wal ter Reuther. former CIO chief now an AFL-CIO vice president, said, "It refutes completely the Gjld water line." Reuther referred to Sen. Gold water R-Arlz, chairman of the Senate Republican Policy Commit tee, who has spearheaded a '.e publlcan group critical of union political activity. Goldwater has charged the AFL CIO plans "slugh funds" to captuie control of the government through the Democratic party. He has said he AFL-CIO has no right to en dorse a presidential candidate. Both Meany and Reuther have told the more than 1,400 delegates to the founding AFL-CIO conven tion that they Intend stepped-up political activity but ar wedded to neither party. Mitchell said that combining the AFL and CIO should lead to im proved labor-management- rela tions. He expressed hope that the AFL-CIO and Industry could reach a "llve-and-let-live" agreement to educe atrlkes and make for smoother collective bargaining.

Langer (R-ND) said today he will press his demand for a public investigation to show whether backers of the now-repudiated Dixon-Yates con tract contributed to President Ei senhower's 1952 campaign fund. In a surprise move yesterday Langer demanded that a Senate Antimonopoly subcommittee on which he serves subpoena Post master General Summerfield, who was Republican national chairman In 1952; Sherrrlan Adams, top White House aide; Stephen A. Mit chell, the 1952 Democratic national chairman, and others. - His request was in the form of a handful of resolutions filed with the subcommittee at a public hear ing. It Is investlgaUng what Chair man Kefauver (D-Tenn) termed "a criminal side" of the contract negotiations, Kefauver said Langer's resolu tions might be considered by the three-member subcommittee todiy but orobablv anv decision would have to be passed on by the fuil Antimonopoly subcommittee. He said that Dec. 16 had been tentatively set for a resumption of his group's public hearings At issue Is a contract negotiate' at Elsenhower's orders and under which a utility firm headed by Edgar H. Dixon and Euuene A. Yates would have sold electric power to the Atomic Energy Com mission for the Tennessee Valley Authority to replace TV A current consumed at atomic lnstallalions. The 107-million-doIlar contract between AEC and the Dixon-Yttes group was canceled after the city of Memphis, Tenn., one cf TVA's big customers, announced it would build Its own power plant. Then last month the AE" repu diated the contract entirely on a legal opinion that "there is a sub- : stantial question as to whether -i there were material violations of i law and public policy." Langor proposed that Summer field be asked about any utility contributions to the 1952 tepubli-1 can campaign fund made with "the Dixon-Yates contract in ; mind.".
