Notes Following is the first of three dispatches by Ray mond Lahr, United Press Inter national political writer, concern ing the election year controversy over state right-to-work laws. The dispatch describes the issues and tells how the battle lines have formed. BY RAYMOND LAHR United Press International WASHINGTON fUPI) Rival political candidates and their sup porters are locked in struggle in 10 states over one of the sharp est issues of the 1958 campaign- so-called right-to-work laws. The margin by which the voters accept or reject such proposals In the Nov. 4 balloting may go a long way in determining whether other states will seek to adopt such laws. An adverse verdict would lend steam to reppal ef forts in some states which at ready have them. Under particularly sharp watch will be tho outcome in Ohio and California, both large industrial states which have seen some of the sharpest political infighting the issue. Basically, right-to- work laws forbid union shop and similar labor management agreements which require employes to belong to unions to hold their jobs. Un ion leaders contend such agree ments are vital to "union securi ty," and bitterly oppose any curbs on them. They have picked up some al lies, including the recently formed National Council for Industrial Pfajn hnnHprf hv Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, and former Democrat ic Sen. Herbert Lehman ot New York. 1 THE OTHER SIDE rin tho nther side are such groups as the U.S. Chamber of rnmmprw the National Associa tion of Manufacturers and the Na- tional Right-To-Work Committee. Thn letter ornnn included some members and former members of unions, these national groups have counterparts at the state level. in ariHiiinn tn Ohio and Califor nia, voters in Idaho, Kansas, Col orado and Washington state also will decide Nov. 4 whether to adopt such statues by constitution al amendment or through the initiative procedure.

In its recently-published "Union Security, the Case Against The Right-To-Work Laws." the AFL CIO says the objective of such statutes is "to weaken, cripple and ultimately destroy trade un ions." Proponents describe the laws as a safeguard to individual free dom and as protection against "compulsory" union membership. All of the 18 laws in effect pro tect the right to join as well as to refrain from joining unions. DENNIS THE MENACE" Her name is gina. she was &xh in ITALY, BUT SHE GREW UPfff! ' Three Drown In Tragedy MINNEAPOLIS (API A youne scnoolteacher and two male com panions were swept to their death in the churning waters of the Mis sissippi when their light boat cap sized beneath a power dam Sun day. Another woman, also a teacher. struggled to shore. We must have got too close, said Claudia Peterson, 23, the lone survivor. Drowned were Marlene Voron- yak, 23, a teacher in suburban Roseville; Vaughan Uhr, 23, Swea City, Iowa, a student at Bethel College in St. Paul; and Keith Kel sey, 23, St. Paul. Uhr and Kelsey were unable to keep the boat afloat with paddles alter tho motor apparently failed and the 17-foot craft began spin ning in the eddy under the dam. The boat overturned and the four occupants were pitched into the water. I kept going down and down," Miss Peterson said. "I got to the surface a couple of times but the current kept sucking me to the bottom. After that 1 can't remember much. I must have been carried along by the current after 1 lost my breath. 1 came to in the middle o: the river and was able to swim to shore." Both sides base their arguments in part on the experience in the states which have adopted the laws. Thus the National Right - To Work Committee publishes a ta ble showing that union member-' ship grew 192.1 per cent between 1939 and 1953 in the right-to-work states compared with 187.8 per cent in the other states.

Air Industry Hearings Set SEATTLE (AP) A hearing on a 10-million-dollar renegotiation suit involving excess profits for Boeing Airplane Co. opened here Monday. It is the first of a series of suits in which makers of military air craft seek reduction of govern ment claims of excess profits. The government's Renegotiating Board held Boeing made 10 million too much on military contracts in 1952. The company refunded that amount but now contends the board erred. Boeing has two other cases pending, involving a profits deter mination of Vh million in 1953 and 10 million in 1954. Judge Graydon G. Withey, Washington, D. C, a member of the United States Tax Court, will conduct this hearing on the 1952 case only. If it wins the suit, Boeing would recover less than three million dol lars after federal excise taxes, company attorney said. Similar suits have been filed by other airplane manufacturers, They total 90 million dollars a government attorney said.

XCOOKIESX "It is virtually impossible to measure the precise effect of these laws on union organization, for no one can know what would have happened if another statu tory environment had prevailed." Meyers' study, published in Oc tober, 1955, also said Texas print ing industries were not as highly unionized at that time as they were before the war. He added that union growth had been slow in the construction industry and in intrastate and local trucking at a time of rapid unionization in interstate trucking. The right-to - work committee and the AFL-CIO presented similar figures in different ways in an attempt to show what has hap pened economically to individuals in various states with nght-to- work laws. The committee says weekly earnings of production workers in creased 18.7 per cent in right-to- work states as compared with an average of 17.6 per cent in other states from 1952 to 1956. It says personal income rose 61.2 per cent in such states from 1947 to 1955 against 58.6 for other states. The AFL-CIO uses dollar fig ures instead of percentages to support its stand that average weekly earnings and per capita personal income increased less than the national average of 11 of 12 states having right-to-work laws throughout the period, 1947-56. The first right-to-work laws were adopted in Florida and Ar kansas in 1944. The other states where they have been enacted are Georgia. South Carolina. North Carolina, Virginia, Tennes see, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, North Da kota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa and Indiana.
