G. M. Boss Says a Mouthful l
By PETER EDSON :
NEA Washington Correspondent ’
WASHINGTON—CharIes E. Wilson, big, tough, !
white-haired president of General Motors, came
down to Washington as first witness before the
Senate Labor Committee on ‘fact-finding” In |
morning and afternoon sessions of two hours each,‘
he gave one of the finest demonstrations of dodg-l
ing the issue ever seen or heard in this home of
indirect answers to direct questions. !
Wilson smoked countless cigarets, one afier the
other, and kept on talking great mouthfuls of words |
with sincerity, conviction and many gestures. Butl
whenever one of the able panel of senators—Mur
ray, Ellender, Taft, Morse, Smith, Donnell, Guffey
and LaFollette—backed the General Motors head
right up against a leading question, he skidded to
one side and started to talk about other things. It
was masterful. $
It was all highly entertaining and perhaps even
informative. But as for producing anything that
would help settle the present industrial muddle
nothing came out, except maybe a little indirect
evidence that, if this is the way labor negotiations
are conducted, it’s no wonder the General Motors
strike isn't settled yet. :
STILL IN THE DARK
All the committee wanted, said Senator Morse,
was to knéw what, if any, legislation Congress
should pass to help solve industrial warfare.
Well, Mr. Wilson said that was a big question.
He said he wasn’t a lawyer or a politician, but a
production man.
Eoming down on the train the night before, Mr.
Wilson had made a few notes on what should be
the guiding principles for Congress. There were 14
points. Did Congress believe in free competition,
_prt)vate ownwership, profit and loss, industrial lib
erty, the right to work, to strike, to organize un
ions, to bargain collectively, the American stand
ard of living, monopolies, sound currency, a bal
anced budget and inflation—when and how much?
Mr. Wilson had four measuring sticks for this
program. He would give up trying to find political
solutions for economic problems. But whatever
laws were passed should be socially sound, legally
sognd, enforceable and practical. ~
In brief, he seemed to be afraid of fact-finding.
The procedure would interfere with collective bar
gaining and it might start finding principles. Prin
ciples were apparently bad.
Senator Ellender wanted to know if Wilson en
tertained the view that Congress should do nothing.
Answer—Oh, no, but the primary trouble now
came out of the war. The relation of government
to industry and labor ot away from the free com=
petitive principle.
éenator Taft wanted to know if Wilson was op
posed to contracts preventing strikes. Well, it was
haxd to generalize. The trouble was that there were
{wo policies.
Which policy die@ Wilson want Congress to de
clare, Taft wanted to know. Wilson said he thought
we- could do it if we went back to work. That was
the wayv 1o do it. We cught {& work more, Than
we' ought to decide what we're going to do on the
work week, union security, inflation and the wage
policy.
Later, Wilson said neither side would agree to
arbitrate on hours, wages, union security or the
right of management to manage.
Senator Donnell then tried to pin Wilson down
on the idea that, where bargaining failed, Con
gress should legislate for compulsory settlement.
If we have the free competitive system, Wilson
réplied, we must have strikes. If we believe in free
enterprise, we should go down that road. :

got the idea. -

v Not Tuneful, But
Signiticant
One accoumri of the ariny s racfar contact with
the moon said that a loud speaker: conner:ted with
the system picked up the echo @s a sound—‘“not
a very tuneful 'sound, but an echo /from the moon.”
Well the cry, of a newborn child is not a very
tuneful sound, either, but it is significant. Like
wise the audible echo frpin the moon was an un
beautiful notice of arrival jof future promise. It
was the latest startling rem inder that man is push
ing back the forcéds of fricttion and gravitation
which bind him to earth. It 'proclaimed a tangible
3k, throuzh the voln mriessovoid i posmie shace
'wi!h another body of matter “in dur own small ¢or
ner of the universe. « ‘ ;
This is surely a beginning, not an isolated phe
nomenon. Some day men will. receive an untuneful
echo from Mars and the more distant planets. Pul
sating waves of electronic| energy, indifferent to
all obstacles, will Speed ever farther to open un
imagined horizons to huma o view. They will pre
sent fields for pioneering cif a sort which now is
thought of as impossibly fantastic, if it can be
thought of at all. ‘ f
1t is all wonderful! and frig thtening. But just what
do we do about it—we, the ioverwhelmi ng major
ity of non-scientific,. uncomj irehending people? Do
we continue to follow the sci entists blindly as, with
at least partial vision, they open endless doors
upon endless mysteries? Do jwe continue to con
vert their discoveries haphazai-dly to our material
and spiritual benefit or to our' destruction? Do we
entrust to them a major part i our world govern
ments? . { |
I Perhaps there is a hint of thi» solution in the re
| cent establishment of the Unfted Nations’ atomic
energy commission. If the warld’s governments
!have found it necessary to powol their strength and
gwisdoms thus out of fear, it may come about in
{ime that they will also feel @ compulsion to en
sure a fair and equal use of future discoveries
which: can contribute to the cormmon good.
The employment of atomic energy plumped the
scientist into the midst of politics and of the every
day world. He will find it hard to get out. And
that promises to be a good thing for the scientists,
the politicians and the public.
There may come a day—and we hope it comes(z
soon—when what goes on in the nation’s research
laboratories may claim some of the popular atten-’

THE STORY: Arrogantly beau-
Wiful Phillyra Willson, Fletch’s
wife, announces to the gathered
Willson clan that she has sent her
small twin sons away so that they
wiwll not have to march in the
town’s Independence Day parade.
This is an annual affair, sponsored
by the Willson family who own
the Willson mills. Phillipa’s ges
ture is one of defiance toward her
in-laws. Nana, family. governess
of many years’ standing, over
hears old Mr. Willson asking his
secretary, Dru Ellis, if she thinks
Fhillipa can be bought offf. Dru
says no, that “position” means too
much to Phillipa. Incidents reveat
that Dru and Fletch are in love
with each other.
I went back to the morning room
and vidictive thoughts started to
crowd in on e Why do nice
people have to be such self-sacri
ficing idiots, I wondered.
I stopped aghast, then, and re
membered for the first time in a
long time my Miss Jenny and Mr.
thought of mine twisted their
lives? Was that same line of rea
soning perhaps showing itself now
in Betsey?
| For Betsey at twenty-two *was
(being a problem child for the first
time in her life. I hadn’t had much
time that day to worry about Bet
sy, but now I sat down and
thought about her. She was seeing
too much of Pen Downes. Fletch
had told her that on his leave,
adding, “He’s bad meat for any
girl, Bets.”
| Now Pen Downs, I tought,
would have been right for Phil
lipa. Pen Downes was an artist
who looked like a professional
tennis player. He was dark and
lean and hard and had a quick
way of moving that made me
think that if he only had a cape
he would look like Mephistopphe
les. I think he could charm a bird
of a bough if it were a female.
He had. bought “Long eMadow,”’
the old Barciay place that ad
joined ours on the other side of
the quarry after he came back
from the Pacific war zone. He
is the artist whose startling paint
ings of men in action had taken
the country by storm. He hadn’t
just painted his part in the war:
he had been with the armed forces
unti] ‘malaria had invalided him
home about a year before. There
was a Mrs. Penfield Downes some
where in the bckground, very vag
uely in the background but never—l
theless there. Conveniently. so, I

Cook came in just then and
acsked how manw there would be
| for luneh. I guessed four, but I
was wrong|. Neither Mr. Willson
nor Fletch came back and Dru
had some jellied consumme in the
library.
I took my nap after lunch, but
slept only a " short while and
when I woke, I felt bewildered
and frightened, as though some
thing terrible had happened and
I couldn’t remember what it was.
I thought I must have had a bad
dream which had slipped away
from me in my first waking mo
ment, leaving only a sense of
dread. I didn’t like it; it frightened
me and I went looking for some
one {o whom to talk. There was
lno one in the house except Dru.
The practical sound of her type
’writer was comforting. She’
stopped typing when I came in and
| T asked, “Will I disturb you, Dru
!il’ I sit in here with you?’” ‘
l She said, “Of course not, Nana.!
I'll be glad to have you, but I'm|
’not good company today, not even !
for myself.” Then she said, “I
iwish those whistles would stop
’screaming in the valley. They've |
been doing it for three days and |
il just isn’t going to rain.” }
| It was the very thing that I had
'Leen thinking and I jumped like
a frightened cat. There is some- |
| thing peculiar about our valley. |
‘We olways know when it is goingl
to rain by the hollow screamingl
'of the train whistles. It is a lost’
| soul kind of sound, and as Dru-{
said, they had been screaming for
three days and the ;wind was not
in the right direction for rain and
fthere wasn't a cloud in the sky
and it was as hot and dry as a
ilfurnace.
. I got out my knitting and Dru
‘went back to her letters. We sat.
that way for about an hour and|
then Fletch came in. His face wasl
gray tired and his army shirt was
wet and wrinkled across his back I

“I've bee looking for the boys,”
hHe sdid. I ‘can’t itind: them.
I have gone everywhere 1 can
think oi”
Dru said, “I wouldn’t worry.
Phil will probably bring them
back tonight.”’
He looked up at her and gave a
nasty laugh. “That’s just wishful
thinking Dru. You know Phil.” He
{ran his hands through his hair
“I'm so tired of this hel] we live
’in and I can’t understand why
she wants to keep it up. We’ve had
lsix years of It tut she won’t hear
{of a divorce Says she’ll fight me
!every step of the way. I would
have cleared out long ago if it
weren’t for the boys.”
He stood up and Dru got up,
'too, and went to him. “Oh, my
dear,” she said. So swiftly they
were in each other’s arms that it
was like the merger of shadow
|and substance when you quickly
'move a lamp. Dru is almost as
tall as Fletch and he rested his
cheek against the top of her head
and there they stood quietly hold
ing each other. And it seemed to
me to be completely right. There
was no need for words between
these two. Wdrds are not needed
when love is deep and strong and
real.
Fletch finally spoke, “Wt can’t
go on this way, Dru.”
“We have to go on this way”,
she answered “There isn’'t any
octher way for us.”
I wanted to kick the stool at my
feet. Dru. was being noble again. |
Fletch said, “we’re both wrong.
There isn’t time either to do any- ‘
thing or to go on . but when II
come back, things will be differ-
