,'r ( * >—SECTION ONL PAGE TWO ■H COMMENT Washington—Many members of Congress were astounded at the statement by Secretary of Labor Mitchell that the Eisenhower Ad ministration is opposed to enact ment of a federal law prohibiting compulsory union membership. It had been the understanding among informed members of Con gress that the Administration was planning to follow a policy of neutrality on this issue and not to influence Congress one way of another. The concensus in Washington was that Secretary Mitchell was trying, on his own initiative, to put the Administration on record in opposition to a national right to-work law which would pro hibit compulsory unionism. Once before in 1954 Mr. Mitchell created a sensation by assailing state right-to-work laws —and wav promptly rebuffed by the White House. He asserted thjt state right-to-work laws (18 stites now have such laws) do more harm than good. President Eisenhower quickly let it be known that the Secretary of La bor was speaking for himself and rpt for the White House. since then, at every opportuni- Mr. Mitchell has continued to 3ndemn state right-to-work laws Respite the firm conviction of any leading fellOW-Republicans that it is un-American to require ugion membership as a condition of employment. 'These Republicans—along with nrfany Democrats—point out that a" number of years ago union leaders bitterly fought the so called “yellow dog" contracts, un der which workmen were requir ed to pledge themselves not to j join a union. Equally as objectionable, it is | contended, is the “union shop" i requirement that workmen must] jein a union regardless of their rffrsonal wishes. Mitchell made an other significant statement dur ing the recent press conference at wjiich he said the Administration —and he personally—opposes a law. jin addition, he put nimself on record publicly in opposition to unions—like business— subject to the antitrust laws in Jrder to curb their monopolistic power.-* /This question has been under j cnscus&m for a long time by the Justice, Commerce and Labor De partine&ts in an effort to arrive at acf» Administration position. Since he has now “jumped the gun” on the other government departments by publicizing his. personal views, it is generally as sumed that Mr. Mitchell from Upw on will campaign publicly in behalf of the union bosses on this issue also. Obviously, there would be some embarrassment to the Admini stration if the Attorney General and Secretary-' 1 Os ' Commerce should publicly line up in opposi tlbn to the Secretary of Labor— a(hd proclaim their views at every opportunity. Just what labor legislation will be recommended to the next ses sion of Congress by the Eisen hpwer Administration has not yet been determined. ♦ Consideration of right-to-work legislation is certain, however,’ ilhce Senator Goldwater (R-Ariz) already has announced that he will introduce a bill to “remove f§om federal labor laws «all ; ENGRAVED 0R PRINTED j I all typos of social printing is at four iTfif command.

End ' Unnecessary Government Spending— The recent .display of Russia’s scientific progress may have provided economy advocates in Congress with the stimulant | needed to bring about the elimi ’nation of much non-essential gov ernment spending. Especially is this true if the Eisenhower Administration rec- 1 ommends additional military spending in an effort to combat the Soviet menace. That should make economy elsewhere all the mfere urgent. The belief is expressed by some Administration officials and many members of Congress—that the government should concen trate its efforts on defense re quirements in this time of emer gency and eliminate every unes sential item of spending. I In this way, it is explained, it I will be possible for the govern | ment to meet all of its financial needs, maintain a balanced bud get, and still provide for essential tax reduction to protect the na tion's economic future. Rotarians Enjoy French Program Continued from Page I—Section 1 Miss Mayo informed the Rotar ians that the French course in the elementary school is the only one east of Raleigh. She also emphasized the importance of younger school children learning foreign languages, pointing out that vocal organs are more flexi ble which makes it easier to give the proper pronunciation to words of other languages. She also said speaking foreign languages has a t great deal to do with understand ing people of other countries. The entire program presented by the French pupils and Miss Mayo was in French and took the form of a class room lesson. The four youngsters have been studying French only 11 weeks with classes of only 15 minutes. While few of the derstood what Miss Mayo and the French pupils were saying, the program was very much enjoy ed in that they apparently spoke so fluently.

Larry Doyle wheeled his car on to the lot and briskly walked toward the office shared with a partner in a prosperous hardware business. As he walked along he thought for a moment about the sharp “indigestion” pains he’d been having lately. “Should see a doctor, I guess! As soon as I get some spare time, I’ll do it,” : he mused fp himself. He was 53 years old: his young- j est child was a junior in college; and business was never better. Suddenly, as he approached the office door, a stabbing pain struck him in the chest. Below the heart, he thought to himself. - Trying to open the door, he felt a growing sensation of numbness; voices took on a deep melodious tone; and just before unconscious ' ness obliterated his dim thoughts, ' one of .the secretaries screamed, “Get a doctor for Mr. Doyle, he’s dying.” _ Larry Doyle did not die. How ever, his heart disease is very , serious and has caused radical [ changes in his way of life. In ■ August 1957, Larry received his • first disability insurance check 1 from social seentity. ' Most Americans have over the ’ past 20 years become familiar with old-age and survivors insur ’ ance protection under the social 1 security law.. Recent changes in the law make it possible for se " verely disabled people to receive ’ monthly disability benefits if they are between 50 and 65 years old. 1 Those under 50, moreover, can protect future benefit rights for themselves and their families by having their social security rec ’ ords frozen. Many of Larry’s friends have | asked a question which is re , peated daily in social security of fices throughout the United StattfS’ 'The questiortj&MHew die-- , abled do you have to be to get , the social security disability bene fits?” , Larry’s case provides a good example of the disability required to qualify for payments. His dis ability makes him unable to en gage in any substantial gainful activity. Also, the worker must ; have credit for work in 5 out of , the 10 years before becoming dis abled and for 1% years of work , in the 3 years just prior to the • disability.

It is not possible to list all the crippling conditions that might prevent a person from working in a gainful activity. Factors such as lack oi training and education, the nature of the work being per | formed, and how regularly the I person is able to work in spite of his disability must be considered, * together with his handicaps. The (disabled person must provide medical proof of his disability. A team of trained people—doctors and others with experience in ( dealing with disabling conditions ( —will consider all the facts be ! fore making any decision. Not all disabled people who have worked under social securi ty ate eligible for the disability ’ t reet-e or tor disability benefits at age 50.

Aces Get Another Shot At State Crown Continued from Page I—Section 1 /W«/VWWS^N^WV>^V»«^i'W^>/WWWW' having a record crowd on hand. They are very anxious to prove to Mebane and the High School Athletic Association that Edenton supports its football team as well as any school in the state so that there will be some justification in playing the game on the Eden ton gridiron. That the Aces will have their hands full and will face aggre gation of the season is reflected in a scouting report which is to the effect that Mebane has a very good ball club, the best ever de veloped in the west. The team is practically the same which lost the State Championship to the Aces last year, except the report is that it has improved at least 100 per cent. Pre-game dope is to the effect that the western champions will defeat the Aces by at least three or four touchdowns. This information has reached Coach Bill Billings, Edenton men tor, who made no secret of his disappointment over the playing of his boys in the Farmyille game, especially in the tackling depart ment. The boys emerged none the worse from the game in Greenville and, barring accidents this week in practice sessions, they should be in good shape. However, Coach Billings feels that unless the boys play more heads-up ball, tackle harder and open up holes, the Aces stand a very good chance of being defeat ed. The Greensboro newspapers have picked Mebane as the Np. 1 football team all season, so that the Aces need not expect a push over and should do everything possible to be in tip-top shape to meet the strongest outfit they have encountered all season. They are capable of playing bet ter ball than they have in some games, so that in this crucial game they should be ready to play their best game. The Edenton band, of course, will be on hand to cheer on the Edenton warriors and provide en tertainment for the large crowd 1 of fans expected.
