'NO COMMENT" Is a reporf of
ncidents on the nntional scene
uid does not necessarily reflect
4AM policy or position.
Washington One of the ma
jor questions awaiting an an
swer in Washington is this. To
what extent will Mr. Kennedy
really battle for the legislative
demands of organized labor lead
ers?
There are some members of
Congress who think that the new
President will, in effect, give
Messrs. Meany, Reuther and
their associates a key to the
White House and that there will
be virtually 100 percent collab
oration on legislation.
There are others who express
the opinion that now that he is
elected, Mr. Kennedy as Presi
dent will not feel compelled to
bow at all times to labor’s dic
tates.
Only time can give the full
answer, but available evidence
points toward a considerable de
gree of cooperation.
Already, George Meany, AFL
CIO president, has served notice
publicly to Mr. Kennedy that
organized labor leaders hold the
new President responsible for
carrying out the Democratic

MAD BOMBER’S TARGET —A police inspector looks over
the subway car that was demolished by another mysterious
bomb explosion in New York. Two died in the blast.
platform.
Here is the way that Mr.
Meany bluntly expressed the
position of the AFL-CIO.
"We feel we supported a can
didate who ran on a political
platform. We know what’s in
that platform because we helped
to draft it.
‘‘As far as we’re concerned,
we expect the successful candi
date to carry out that platform
in the days ahead when he takes
over his job as President of
the United States.”
Thus, the AFL-CIO definitely
expects Mr. Kennedy to use the
full power of his high office to
I obtain enactment of a massive
legislative program much of
which industry thinks would be
seriously detrimental to the best
interests of the nation.
Ih the Senate Mr. Kennedy
was the principal sponsor of sev
eral of the bills sought by the
AFL-CIO.
The AFL-CIO in addition, of
ficially endorsed the Kennedy-
Johnson ticket and campaigned
actively in its behalf. The labor
organization was reported to
have been particularly successful
in Increasing Democratic regis
trations in big cities which voted
for Mr. Kennedy.
Because of the razor-thin mar
gin of the popular vote by which
Mr. Kennedy was elected, there
are many who contend that the
new President owes his victory
to labor’s efforts in his behalf—
and he is therefore beholden to
the labor leaders.
In view of this background, it
seems to many in Washington
that it must be assumed that
Mr. Kennedy will go 011-out for
the costly and anti-business leg
islative program urged by the
AFL-CIO, by the Democratic
platform, and by the new Presi
dent himself during the cam
paign and while a member of
the Senate.
Those who hold this opinion
point out that there is no sub-|
stantial evidence as yet that Mr. j
Kennedy plans to follow a dif
ferent course—and they contend
that, until such evidence is
forthcoming they must expect
that he will adhere to the poli
cies he has been supporting.
Not to be overlooked also is
a statement made by Mr. Ken
nedy to Mr. Meany in an inter
view publised in the October 1,
1960, AFL-CIO News. While
discussing their joint far-flung
legislative program, Mr. Ken
nedy asserted.
“During eleven of the four
teen years I have served in the
Congress, I have dealt with
problems affecting labor. I have
come to know the labor move
ment well. It is from this
knowledge that I asserted onj
Labor Day that ‘the goals of the
labor movement are the .goals of
all Americans’.”
Anti-Rules Committee
Campaign
New plans are being discussed
—without any agreement as
yet—for curbing the authority of
the House Rules Committee so
that it will be powerless to slow
the progress through Congress
of the Kennedy-AFL-CIO legis
lative program.
The campaign against the
Rules Committee is regarded as
serious. It is being opposed vig
orously .by members of Con
gress who believe in assuring
adequate consideration of legisla
tion instead of rushing it pell
mell onto the statute books.
One of the proposals would
remove conservative Rep. Cal
mer (D-Miss.) from the commit
tee and substitute for him a
“liberal” Democrat who would
favor New Deal legislation.
But such a plan run* head-on
into the congressional seniority
system—under which length of
service controls committee as
signments.
Ostensibly, the campaign to
oust Rep. Colmer would be on
the ground that he failed to
support Mr. Kennedy for the
Presidency.
But, his defenders point out,
Rep. Adam Clayton Powell, Ne
gro Democrat from Harlem, sup
ported President Eisenhower, in
stead of Adlai Stevenson—and
no punitive action was taken
against him. He now is sched
uled, under the seniority sys
tem, to become chairman of the
House Labor Committee.
The Rules Committee regulates
the flow of legislation to the
House floor. Chairman Smith
(D-Va.) and Rep. Colmer some
times join with four Republican
members to provide a six to six
tie vote which bars House ac
tion—unless and until other pro
cedure is followed. This guards j
against precipitate decisions. '

frankly Speaking !
By Frame H-twrH
u
First of all, my sincere thanks
to good buddy Tom Shields for
taking charge of Reveille with
Roberts during the latter part
of last week while we hied up
to New York. Not so much to
see the big city but mostly to
visit with the family. The
weather was good, the visit most
enjoyable, but to re-phrase an
old saying, it’s loads of fun tak
ing off, but even more fun com
ing back to the familiar faces
ar.d the familiar sights. Home
sweet home is Edenton. The
only thing of interest we did
in New York was to join the
miliion-and-a-half other folks
who crowded downtown to
watch the big Thanksgiving Day
parade. We took a couple of
neighborhood youngsters with us
and they had fun. However,
whoever watched the parade on
television probably saw more
than we did. It’s fun for the
youngsters, though. The big
problem is actually the adults.
A good many of them wouldn’t
even make room to let the small
fry through. An easier parade
to watch, and one that’ll be just
as much fun, takes place this
afternoon right here in Edenton.
New York vignettes: always in
teresting to note that the first
thing you see from the Jersey
Turnpike is the Empire State
Building. No matter how many
times you see it, it’s still an
awesome and magnificent struc
ture. Another thing that im
presses the out-of-towner is the
politeness of the taxi drivers.
Even when you’re raised in the
big city, you still find it easy
to get lost and the taxi drivers
will always come to your res
cue. The night we arrived in
New York we noticed two cars
driving along without lights.
Next day read of an accident as
a result of still another car
driving that way. Back and
forth to New York is a tedious
but pleasant drive. I came to
one conclusion though: I’d rather
be the last passenger on an
early ferry, instead of the first
passenger on a later ferry.
Phew! What a pain that thing
is, and what an expense. Once
again, thanks to Tom Shields,
and hope you’ll continue to keep
your dial set every morning from
i to 9:30. All day, as a matter
of fact, as a matter of good lis
tening.
Closing thought: Rhetoric is
the art of ruling the minds of
man.
