- Domination, Says Executive
| BY PETER EDSON
‘ NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON.—(NEA) —Lemuel C. Boulware,
vice-president of General Electric in charge of
labor relations, is one of the key men in the coming
knock-down, drag-out battles between unions and
management,
“There is no concerted conspiracy on the part of
management to have a show-down with labor at
this time,” he insists. “If we got all the business
leaders together in one room, we couldn’t get ’em
to agree on even Mother Love. I know, because I've
tried it.
“All that has happened is that it has suddenly
become bad politics to favor the unions excluse
ively.”
As the tip-off on this, he cites the speech of
David McDonald, secretary of the steelworker’s
union, just before President Truman seized the in
dustry. McDonald declared that this CIO union had
nothing to worry about because it had ‘“a rather
{friendly gentleman in the White House.”
Boulware thinks the reaction to that confession
was bad, even among labor union leaders, because
it exposed them.
Mr. Boulware thinks the extreme positions taken
by President Truman in his fireside chat and his
expressed intention to order the Wage Stabilization
Board recommendations on pay increases and
working conditions put into effect are an admis
sion of the President’s pro-labor slant. When the
President pulled out on C. E. Wilson’s terms for a
steel settlement he had previously approved, he
clinched the case, Boulware states.
“For 20 years,” he says, “the public has been
willing to excuse the excesses of union law-break
ers. The public has also been willing to have the
government side with the union leaders.”
BELIEVES PUBLIC WANTS
UNIONS TO BE SERVANTS
He believes that the public and the working peo
ple still want unions. They want unions in order to
make the bargaining power of the workmen equal
to that of management.
The change that has come, says Boulware, is that
the public no longer wants the unions to dominate
the employers, the President or Congress. In other
words, they want the unipons to be the servants of
the employes and not their rasters,
The usual description of a big business executive
is that beneath his gruff exterior, he has a heart of
gold. Mr. Boulware is best described the other way
'round, Beneath his jovial front, he is just as tough
as they make 'em.
Boulware is a big hull of a man, beaming and
balding. He is a Kentuckian, with the Southern gift
for gab. He talks endlessly, which seems to be a
first requisite in labor negotiations. The whole busi=
ness is to him a game for big stakes which he seems
to enjoy.
Originally he was a schoclteacher and account
ant. He was in managerial jobs for half a dozen
small businesses before the war. He was War Pro
duction Board executive director in Washington for
three years. C. E. Wilson, WPB head, grabbed him
for G. E. in 1945. y
One of his first assignments there was to find
why this company, “hough it had a good trade
name with its customers and for its products, still
had a bad name among its employes.
One of the reasons for this, Mr. Boulware be=
lieves, was that the success of a union leader was
often measured by how much he hated the bosses.
The man who hated the company most was elected
union president.
BOULWARE'S DISLIKE OF UNION
OFFICIALS IS BITTER
As a counterpart to this, it must be mentioned
that Mr. Boulware's dislike of ,some of the union
officials he has to deal with could not possibly be
more complete and bitter.
Qut of his analysis of employe relations prob
lems, however, Mr. Boulware has come up with
four things which he says management must do:
“We must learn what’s the right thing to do in
the field of pay, benefits and working conditions.
We must then do this voluntarily and not be
dragged into it.
“We must get together with our employes and
convince them that we are vitally interested in
them as one of the five groups to whom we are re
sponsible — our customers, our stockholders, our
vendors, the public and the government. We must
prove that we are on the side of our employes. We
can’t exploit therma and live. We must break down
the feeling of union leaders that they mnrust be
against us.
“We must learn ourselves, then teach to our em
ployes the economics of being free—how the free
market operatés, how we must each work for the
other without the government policing us and tell
ing us what to do.
“Finally, we have an obligation to the communi
ties in which we operate as well as to our own em
ployes. We must build up in the public—the mer
chants, the clubs and all others—an understand
ing of what we are trying to do.”
The American people hold in themselves a vast
reservoir of faith, It is the most valuable asset we
possess —Oklahoma Governor Robert Kerr.

All Talk, No Action, Dulls Red
Propaganda Campaign In Asia
For the most part the world propaganda cam
paign of the Communists on such matters as alleged
germ warfare and mistreatment of prisoners in the
Korean theater has proved a fiasco. The Reds are
hollering in an empty rain barrel.
Reports from Southeast Asia, where the manu
facturers of the falsehoods would like to score most
heavily, make it clear that these charges have had
little effect so far.
The only people who are inclined to believe them
are Communists, their sympathizers, and those who
for one reason or another have a blind hatred for
the United States and thus are willing to give cre
dence to almost any story.
The great majority of Asiatics who can read and
understand world events—and that total is small
proportionately in the southeastern population—
pay little heed nowadays to Communist ravings.
On the germ warfare question, Red refusal to
allow investigation of North Korean zones, plus
scientific evidence marshaled by the United Nations,
has served to spike Communist propaganda,
As might have been expected, the Reds made
more headway with their claims of prisoner mis
treatment, largely because of the damraging state
ments of General Colson, who seemed to be admit
ting inhuman conduct on our part. Our case was not
aided by the prisoners’ capture of General Dodd.
It cost us considerable “face’ among the Southeast
Asians.
Yet in spite of this harm suffered, we are not
generally losing ground these days in the propa
ganda battle for non-Red areas of Asia. Quite the
contrary. The best-informed Asiatics in lands like
Indo-China, Burma, Thailand, Indonesia and India
are becoming pretty fed up with Communist chat
ter.
Too many times they have been able to compare
Red claims with Red refusal to have those claims
investigated. Too many times the mere course of
events has disproved outrageosus charges.
The feeling is growing strong in Southeast Asia
that the Reds are talking, hut not performing. For
many months now, they have made no significant
new showing of power in that part of the world. In
that circumstance, their words sound limp and
flabby, and few non-Comnrunists are disposed to
accept them.
We of the western world have always greatly
feared the force and impact of Red propaganda.
Often our fears have been justified. But we are
learning that a hopped-up diet of lies can jade the
palates even of people whose poverty and general
low estate make them most susceptible to such
tempting fare.

Mrs. Lincoln’s Letter
Discovery of a hitherto unpublished letter in
which Mary Todd Lincoln discredited assertions
that her husband had a love affair with Ann Rut
ledge recalls her strange and bitter feud with the
President’s young law partner, William H. Herndon.
Mrs. Lincoln’s letter, addressed to the administrator
of Lincoln’s estate, reflects her animosity toward
Herndon, a sentiment that was cordially recipro
cated.
In his biography of Lincoln, Herndon portrayed
Mary Todd as a vain and emotionally unstable
woman and a sk:rewish, extravagant wife. That she
was unstable: is suggested by the fact that she later
becanre insane, and her extiravagance was proved
by the large New York department store bills
which confronted Lincoln’s executor. But there is
little evidence to support Herndon’s assertion that
Lincoln’s marriage was wholly unhappy.
Lincoln had his own peculiarities and his casual
habits did not make him an casy man to live with.
Mary Lincoln must have had occasional justifica
tion for irritable outbursts, from which Lincoln
escaped by taking a walk.
The legend of Lincoln’s lifelong love for Ann
Rutledge probably has no more basis than the
story of George Washington and Sally Fairfax.
That there was an attachment so strong that Ann’s
death nearly cost Lincoln his sanity, as Herndon
reported, is now doubted by most Lincoln students
and it appears to have had no connection with the
panic which caused Lincoln to disappear on the
day first set for his wedding to Mary Todd.
Romantics love Herndon’s story of Ann Rutledge,
but historians are skeptical. Among their reasons is
Herndon’s obvious hostility tc the wife of his idol.
It is probable that had Mary Todd been even civil
to him, he mright have given posterity a more favor
able picture of the plump littie woman who played
a part in one of history’s great dramas and was the
principal victim of its culminating tragedy.
If I were asked to describe in one phrase the
most dangerous manifestation of our national psy
chology, I should say it is a prevailing sense of in
security, — Dr, Harold W. Dodds, president of
Princeton University.
Today we know more about war than we know
about peace. The American soldier of the future
raust be a crusader for peace in the truest sense of
the word.—Geenarl Omar Bradley.
Ido not think the public should be forced to
guess or conjecture as to whether a man is a Com
munist. I think the public is entitled to know.—
Movie producer Howard Hughes.
My friends in Texas say I could be re-elected,
but it would require an arduous campaign, It might
kill me.—Retiring Senator Tom Connally (D.-
Texas), chairman of the Serate Foreign Relations
Committee.
- We all know that Indo-China is a bottleneck and
that if it gave way, many lands would Lte flooded by
Communism.—General Dwight Eisenhower. o~

Boyle Appears Pessimisfic About
Success Of Allied European Army
By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK (AP) — It is hard
to be hopeful about the future of
Europe’s venturesome six-nation
army.
The diplomats hail this as a
great striped-pants victory, but it
is not in the bag yet, and it re
mains to be seen whether the all-
European army ever will march
up a hill and down. .
Even after the diplomats okay
the creation of this strange hydra
headed military creature the par
liaments back home have to vote
the men and money to make it a
reality. Until they do so this effort
to restore stability in Europe must
be catalogued only in the realm of
verbal goodewlll, - - oo
There are some basic facts that
make it doubtful it will ever be a
successful army.
General Eisenhower has thrown
the tremendous weight of his per
sonality behind the project after
first deciding it wouldn’t’ work,
Six-Nation Army
Most Americans can’'t even
name the six nations who will con
tribute men to this million-man
force. They are France, West Ger
many, Italy, Luxembourg, Bel
gium, and The Netherlands.
Significatly, the French are
scared to death of the West Ger
mans, who are supposed to contri
bute 400,000 men, and the West
Germans are reluctant as the devil
to be committed to this effort be
cause they really want to see-saw
between the United States and
Russia until they can again unite
all Germans under one flag and
one government.
= For political reasons at home no
major statesmen in either Britain
or, the United States has come out
boldly in favor of making British
and American troops constituent
parts of the Eurcpean army.
Cold Historical Facts
But, looking at the cold facts of
history, it is hard to see how a

real European army can be welded
without making both British Em
pire and American troops an in
tegral part of that army.
They are in it, of course, as
separate entities, by virtue of their
membership in NATO, the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization.
But this half-partnership by two
world powers, Britain and Ameri
ca, makes the smaller six nations
of Europe feel a bit like catspaws
before the vast power of Soviet
Russia,
They have two fears-fear of a
resurgent Germany, fear of the
Russian Bear. Even with Britain
and America saying, “don’t worry,
we'll back you,” they would rather
both countries came in as full part
ners, committed to mutual security
to their last man, pound, and dol
lar.
DEFENSE DIGEST
Nearly 80 percent of all the
items consumers buy are within
five percent of their all-time high
peaks, the Office of Price Sta
bilization reports. This includes
consumers’ prices for staple foods
and most other goods. Retailers
have not been affected by the re
cent suspension of price controls
on such items as raw cotton and
textiles, so OPS ceilings for “store
bought” cottons still stand. OPS
further announces that ceilings on
Irish potatoes will not be suspend
ed, as once considered. This crop
is short in some sections, according
to latest surveys.
Bad news for newspaper pub
lishers is the current hike in the
cost of newsprint by $lO per ton.
The Canadian producers are not
subject to U, S. price controls, al
though Price Administrator Ellis
Arnall registered a strong object
ion to the increase, just the same.
Cost-Of-Living
Studies by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics show that in the South,
it is cheaper for a family of four
to reside in New Orleans than any
other large city. An annual bud
get of $3,812 would provide “mod
est but adequate” level of living,
there, compared to $4,545 required
in Washington, D. C. Here’s how
the Southern cities rank according
to the estimated total cost of the
family budget: Washington, D. C.;
Richmond, Va; Atlanta, Ga.; Hous
ton, Ter; Birmingham, Ala; Balti
more, Hd; Jacksonville, Fla; Mem
phis, Tenn; Norfolk, Va; Savannah,
Ga; Mobile, Ala; New Orleans, La.
Cities having the highest food
costs in the South, according to
BLS, are Savannah, Mobile, At
lanta and Birmingham, in that or
der. Emphasis is made that these
statistics are for large cities. Miami
Florida, is not a “typical Southern
city” and, therefore, is not includ
ed in the studies.
