Since I’ve been writing thic column we have had president- Roosevelt, Truman, Eisen hower, Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon. They haven’t all been my choice at the polls but I have regarded them all with the highest respect. You and I can easily say what this nation should do because we’re not held responsible for our utterances. The president MUST bear the burden of his decisions, right or wrong. We may not approve of the man who fills this awe- some office but we must res- pact the station he holds Friday, November 20, 1971 presented this nation with the ultimate in rudeness. George Meany, President of the AFL- CIO, by his actions, told the people of this nation, “Laws and edicts of the United States be damned. I’ll run the labor forces as I see fit.” To punc tuate his feelings he took a $20,000 a year raise in pay. If Mr. Meany wants to run this country he should put his hat in the ring for the office of president. fje fmay be sur prised to learn that there are people who are not members of the AFL-CIO. This would lave another good effect. It may prove to congressional candi dates that union funding of cam • paign budgets is not as essential as it’s cracked up to be. I have stated many times that Unions are essential if the com mon working man is to get a break. When it comes to the point where one man can dic tate to the government and choose the laws which he will or will not obey then it’s time for anti-trust laws to apply to big unions as well as big busi ness. When one man deems him self as powerful as the congress of the United States it’s time to show him he’s not. The president is staking his reelection on his belief that he can whip inflation. He must accept the burden if phase 2 fails. Mr. Meany is disregarding Phase 2. If prices skyrocket will Mr. Meany say, “I am to blame for the failure of holding inflation”? Either way prices go Mr. Meany has nothing to loose. Mr. Nixon has his poli tical future on the line. Being president of the UnitedStatesis a man killer because everybody remembers the failures and at tributes the successes to the good thinking of congress or some one else. I couldn’t possibly handle the job so 1 seldom criticize a president. Let alone insult him. ette. Firemen shown are Rod Holcomb, D>?an Winchester, Gary Ward. Mike Anderson, Bob Meisinger, Chief D?lbert Malloy and Ray Page.
