TOO CONVENIENT
Dorothy Thompson recently discussed the closed
shop and the union shop. She wrote: “It is extremely
convenient for union leaders if every worker is com
pelled to join a union to get or hold a job. ... It is
convenient for many employers to have a ‘closed shop,’
and bargain collectively without possibility of minority
dissent. . . .
“The trouble is that it is too convenient. It reduces
the workers’ status, more than ever, to that of a com
modity to be bought and sold en bloc. It reduces the
possibility of creating a more genuinely free and demo
cratic industrial system. It freezes and creates a
monopoly of the status quo.”
Seventeen states have adopted right-to-work laws,
under which workers can join or not join a labor organi
zation, as they choose, without fear of reprisal by
either employers or unions. # There is no more funda
mental or important right.
TRANSLATION NEEDED
In his TV and radio address to the nation on the
Asiatic situation, Secretary of State Dulles told Red
China’s Chou En-lai that the U.S. is not, either, a
“paper tiger” . . . that “if occasion offers . . . we are
prepared to stand firm and, if necessary, meet hostile
forces with the greater forces that we possess.”
Mr. Dulles didn't mention Quemoy or Matsu Is
lands, which Britain wants us (and Chiang, of course)
to give to the Reds, along with a seat in the U.N. as
down payment on peace. And while you’re speculating
on what happens next, bear in mind too that Mr. Dulles
said we were operating in Asia “within the framework
of the United Nations Charter.”
That’s the way we operated in Korea. We could
say then, as Mr. Dulles says now, “We have power that
is great. We have a cause that is just.” *
The bitter fruit was shame.
Experience, we are told, is the thing that causes
a man to make new mistakes instead of repeating the
old ones.
The only creatures that are fond of tobacco are
worms, billy goats and people.
Dulles Says Other
Records of Talks
May Be Revealed
WASHINGTON, UP)—Secretary
of State Dulles said Saturday the
records of a number of interna
tional conferences are in the
works for publication but he did
not know the schedule for releas
ing them.
Dulles returned to Washington
from a two-day visit to Ottawa.
Newsmen asked him at the airport
whether the record of the 1945
Potsdam Big Three Conference
would be published this year in
line with a schedule previously
reported.
“I just don’t know,” Dulles said.
“A lot of these things are in the
works. I don’t personally pay
much attention. I don’t know the
stage of development. The histor
ians are in charge of that.”
The Foreign Office in London
said Saturday it has told the Uni
ted States that Great Britain op
poses publication of the Potsdam
record.
Asked about previous reports
that Britain had sent an objection,
Dulles said he know of none but
noted he had been away from
Washington since Thursday morn
ing.
Sen. Knowland 'R-Calif) said
earlier Saturday he will press for
publication within a year of offi
cial reports on both the Tehran
and Potsdam Conferences.
Dulles talked about American
Canadian cooperation and conti
nental defense while in Ottawa.
He said no decisions were reached
and added: “I did not go there to
negotiate.” Actually, his trip was
more of a good-will visit with
Canadian officials.

Revised Bill on
Appointments
Waits Gov.’s OK
By JIM HUTCHESON
JUNEAU, (#>—A revised ap
pointments bill, which sailed un
challenged through both House
and Senate Friday, was awaiting!
Gov. Heintzleman’s signature to-!
day.
Senate and House leaders pre- j
dieted the watered down version j
of the bill Heintzleman once ve- i
toed would not run into trouble
this time.
In turning down the original i
bill, Heintzleman balked because
he said he felt it represented an
intrusion by the legislature of the
executive prerogatives.
Dropped from the bill which
whipped through the Senate on
the double Friday was a provision J
that the legislature do the ap
pointing if two names from the;
governor for a territorial position
were rejected.
The Senate and the House,
which concurred quickly in a
couple of minor amendments add
ed by the Senate, did specify in
the revised version, however, that
the governor speed his appoint
ments to the legislature early in
the session.
The legislature also specified in
the revised bill that the governor
may not name anyone to a posi
tion between sessions if the legis-1
lature had refused to confirm the
person’s appointment during a
session.
The bill provides that the gov
ernor should submit appoint
ments within five days after a
legislature opens. If a name is re
jected by the lawmakers, the gov
ernor would be required to sub
mit another name within 20 days.

Orders 10 Four-Engine
Transports From Douglas
SANTA MONICA, Calif., <*)—

dered 10 new four-engined trans

craft Company.

volve about $14 million. If the

WASHINGTON, (#>—President
Eisenhower Saturday announced
he has created a new post of spe
cial assistant to the President for
disarmament.
He named Harold E. Stassen to
the cabinet-rank job to devote full
time to development of policies
for disarmament.
A White House announcement
said Stassen, now head of the
Foreign Operations Administra
tion, will take over his new duties
immediately. The statement added
that “he will be expected to take
into account the full implications
of new weapons in the possession
of other nations, as well as the
United States, to consider future
probabilities of armaments, and
to watch the views of the military,
civilians and the officials of our
government and of other govern
ments.”
Presidential Press Secretary
James E. Hagerty told newsmen
Stassen, in addition to his new
duties, will remain head of the
FOA until the administration's
new foreign aid program is pre
sented to Congress and then will
resign that job. FOA is scheduled
to go out of existence next June.
Stassen will have the responsi
bility “for developing, on behalf
of the President and the State
Department, the broad studies,
investigations and conclusions,
which, when concurred in by the
National Security Council and ap
proved by the President will be
come basic policy toward the
question of disarmament,” the
White House announcement said.
Hagerty added that a check
shows this apparently is the first
cabinet rank position on disarma
ment ever established by this or
any other government.
HAMBURG, Germany, —The
revived German Lufthansa will
