- Industry Executive Forecast
~ End Of Free Bargaining In "49
| BY PETER EDSON
i NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON.—(NEA)—CIarence B. Randall,
61-year-old president of Inland Steel Company,
looks more like & college professor or a minister
than the Marvard lawyer and iron master that he
really is. Yet he is something of a teacher and a
preacher, 100,
The lesson and the sermon he delivers most often
is on gpaving the free enterprise system. He thinks
it is on trial before the world and possibly fighting
a rear-guard action.
Mr. Randald first leaped into national prominence
as the new aposile and philosopher of American
business during the 1949 stecl strike over pensions.
Appearing before a three-man presidential board
named to investigate this dispute, Mr. Randall de
¢clared:
“When the President announced this board, it
was an industrial revolution in America. Collective
bargaining has been destroyed. It has been repealed
by the President.
“And if this union strategy works this time, col
le live bargaining will never come back. The pre
ccaent here established, reflecting similar attempts
nace in 1946, would commit us to boards and gov=
eriment wage fixing forever.”
Jow right Mr. Randall has been in that predic
tion thus far is shown by recent experience in the
new steel wage case, In this dispute, Mr. Randall
was radio and television spokesman for the entire
sceel industey in answering President Truman's
fireside e¢hat 1o the nation on seizure of the mills to
przvent & strike,
Vir. Randall says he has received a great deal of
neail since his appearance over the air waves,
Nearly gll ¢f his letters have been favorable, Com=
plete strangers who have recognized him from his
TV appearance have come to him and told him how
auch they approved. He has been surprised, he de
¢ ares, at the understanding of the constitutional
and fundamental freedom questions involved.
¥ TOUNDS VIEWS IN SPEECH AND IN PRINT
« larence Randall has been expounding and de
ve oping his ideas on management and labor rela
tions over the past five years, He has made a num=-
ber of speeches to industrial groups. He has written
a number of articles for magazines. He has a book
coming cul soon, collecting his best pieces and
acd “ing some new ones.
A review of his public utterances—which he in
sis.s on writing himself, without benefit of a ghost
~ —2an be made 1o show that he iz an extreme liberal
on some things, an extreme conservative on others,
“We know sc little about the mass behavior of
huinan beings,” Mr. Randall confessed in a speech
be ore Controllers’ Institute two years age. “Why
will a fine American, who loves his family and
goes to church . . . take two feet of gaspipe and lay
it across ancther’s head on the picket line?
“ "he old schocl of thought in industry was that
an increase in pay did it all. It doesn’t. All of,the
graat area of motivation as distinguished from pay
is almost a closed book to us in industry.”
YWriting in the Atlantic Monthly, Mr. Randall had
dc lared earlier: “Those who champion the right of
free workers to strike must jikewise champion the
right of free men in management to say ‘No!’ in the
face of a strike.”
And in a 1950 speech before Congress of Ameri
can Industry he declared, ‘“The thing which today
. . . threatens freedom in industrial relations is the
annoyance of the public with strikes.”
MUST HAVE FREE BARGAINING
OR ABANDON FIGHT
The idea of “Why don’t we have judges to re
solve these disputes?” Mr. Randall declares to be
false thinking,
“We must either bargain freely as free men, or
abandon the fight and let the state enter the rela
tionship,” he said.
1f there hacd been free bargaining in the present
steel dispute, without government interference, Mr,
Randall believes that steel prices might have ad
vanced aboul $5 or $6 a ton, had the unions ac
cepted management’s best offer of a 121 cents-an
hour increzse, But he does not believe that steel
price rise could hold for long.
o “There is no shortage of steel,” he asserts. It will
®take some lime 1o absorb present over-expanded
steel production capacity., Warehouses are full of
consumers’ goods that have been over-produced.
Is the country headed for general deflation? Will
there be another depression 1o readjust prices and
wages on a lower level?
Mr. Randall says these are searching questions to
which he does not know the full answers. He points,
however, 10 the fact that textile workers have vol
untarily taken wage cuts.
Stores in many steel towns, he says, have been
hard hit. Families haven’t been spending. They
have been saving — partially through fear of an
other strike, like that of 1949, which shut down the
industry for seven weeks. To Mr. Randall, these are
signs that people don’t want strikes, particularly
those forced on them by unlon leaders seeking only
to expand their power.
* For management, however, Mr. Randall seems
perfectly willing to take a strike in tne steel indus
try to defeat the union shop demand.
“This ic the ultimate showdown,” he declares.

Parties Challenged To Cleanse
Blood Of "Smear’ Venom In 52
The “smear” as a tactic is as old as politics. But
the last two decades have seen it elevated to vastly
greater importance in political propaganda. Today
we must sadly acknowledge that many men of pro
fessed decency nevertheless either employ or con=
done the most virulent attacks upon other men.
That the users of the smear include so many who
think of themselves as decent is a mark of what has
happened to our moral standards. It has become
quite commonplace for political candidates to close
their eyes to the presence within their camps of the
very lowest of hate-mongers.
A lot of these candidates offer themselves as
shining white knights ready to do battle with the
terrible enemy, communism. They apparently do
not realize they are giving strength to a doctrine
which is part of the very essence of communism.
They are acting as if they believe the end justifies
the means.
In other words, in their often total sincere con=
viction that the opposition is bad and must be
routed, they allow themselves to be persuaded that
any technique which does the job is in the interest
of the American people.
Perhaps such tactics will work for a while in a
time when people are troubled about who the
enemy is. Perhaps the stirring of religious and
racial hatreds will be looked upon briefly without
great indignation.
But sooner or later the elemental sense of de
cency of the American citizen will, revolt against
the injection of such poisons into the political blood=
stream. Sooner or later the men who practice or
condone the “smear” on a grand scale will be
thrown out of offise,
One of the most dismal of modern experiences is
to listen to a smear artist defending himgself
against charges he knows he cannot refute, He
wraps himself in a cloak of righteousness, and de
clares that HE is the victim of a smear. Recognize
the technique? It’s straight out of Moscow.
American political debate has within the last five
years sunk to depths not equalled for a long time.
Regard for truth, for honest presentation of issues
and men, has slipped into the background. The
great cry is: “Beat ’em, no matter what you have to
say!”
In the month or more hefore the 1952 national
conventions, we widll be in for some intense poli
ticking, par.ticularly on the Republican side in the
fight betweeén Senator Taft and General Eisen
hower. Bitterness is already rife between these
camps, and seems sure to mount as nominating time
nears.
It behooves all sides in both parties to take stock
as they go into this critical period. The degenerate
process in political debate has already gone too far.
Men of real moral fiber are challenged, in the im
mediate days and beyond, to arrest the trend and
restore political campaigning to a level of decency.
Big Hand To General Ridgway
General Ridgway justifiably gained widespread
praise in Washington for the forthright way in
which he presented all the issues surrounding the
Korean war and the future of Japan. Even men
who think any general who draws pay under the
Truman administration is automatically a Demo
cratic general were constrained to applaud him,
Perhaps the mrost characteristic thing Ridgway
did was to assume himself the basic blame for the
series of dismal incidents at the prison compound
on Koje Island. Whether or not he was actually re
sponsible in any direct sense, it was a fine gesture
and its purpose was obvious: to avoid having any
stigma attaching to General Mark Clark, his suc
cessor in the Far Eastern command,
Clark patently walked into that one and it was
only fitting that it be made clear he was in no way
responsible. He has had troubles enough in the past
without being blamed for these he inherits.
.
Russian Crops
Americans formerly read crop reports from Can
ada and Argentina to ascertain probable effect on
grain prices in this country. That was before the
day of national and international controls and sta
bilized prices as a result of government propping.
Now the most interesting farm crop reports are
those from Russia and satellites. Big crops in that
area might be a threat to world peace. No would
be conqueror, however ambitious, would want to go
to war on short rations.
A late spring is seriously complicating 1952 plant
ing in the Soviet Union, according to Russian news
papers. There was a warm winter which produced
little snowfall and in April warmth and cold alter
nated to keep seeders inactive. This has affected
Russia’s richest food provinces. But because of the
late moisture winter wheat is progressing well,
Russian crop reports also have an impact on the
cold war. Moscow plans to use grain exports as a
weapon of economie warfare and to disrupt the
unity of the free countries. If crops in Russia are
good, the Reds are expected to be more belligerent,
it is well for the peace of the world that Russia
will never be a consistently big food producer be
cause of extremes of hot and cold, wet and dry,
weather, Fortunately, too, Russia has no satellies
that are major food producers. One reason crop
production is poor is in the forced collective farm
system which the peasants resist.
For the first time in my life, I can be a hero to
my boy pupils.—Sister Mary Fidelis after ride in a
helicopter.
There is a school of thought which believes the
burlesque show is on the same plane as the ham
burger—an American institution.—Judge Byron J.
Walters.

Indian Press Airs All Views;
Is Ranked Among Top In World
India, like the United States,
has a free press. Pick up almost
any paper and, you are likely to
find an article, editorial, or a car
toon opposing one phase or other
of Government policy.
Each political party has its own
one or more papers which freely
express the party’s views.
With more than 5,000 newspa
pers and periodicals, having close
to six million circulation, India is
said to rank fourth in world jour
nalism, after the United States,
U. S. 8. R, and Britain. About
1,000 are published in the English
language and the remaining in
Hindi and other Indian languages,
Small Papers
Owing to the tight newsprint
situation, an Indian newspaper on
a weekday has not more than eight
pages and on Sunday not more
than 12. The total yearly con
sumption of newsprint in India
amounts to about 54,000 tons, one
per cent of the total Am?&an
consur%)tlon, whieh “is fmore’ than
five million tons. = £=o
The front page of a typical pa
per is similar to that of an Amer=-
ican paper, playing up important
national and international news,
with very little advertising. Page
two has the classified and cinema
ads. The editorial page has a
leading editorial, two or three
leaderettes, a feature article or a
cartoon. A “Letters to the Editor”
column is also a regular feature
of the Indian press.
Very few of the Indian news
papers carry comic strips. How=-
ever, political cartoons, highly
popular with the readers, and pic
tures are liberally sprinkled over
the pages. Sixty per cent news and
forty percent advertising is the
typical fare provided by the In
dian newspaper.
~ About a dozen newspapers have
50,000 or more circulation, Four
thousand print as low as 3,000
copies. The largest circulation is
claimed by the Times of India of
' Bombay (an English-language
daily)-—nearly 87,000.
In addition to general and po=-
litical periodicals, there are jour
nals dealing with special and
technical subjects. For example,
there are five weeklies devoted to
| racing, two to prohibition, one to
| psychology, and over 100 to reli
gion and culture. Some of the oth
er fields dealt with are aviation,
education, engineering, film and
radio, health and medicine, libra=-
ry science, natural history, and
rural development. There are 25
children’s and about 30 women’s
magazises.
Freedom of Expression
The Indian Constitution guaran=-
tees freedom of expression as a
fundamental right of the indivi
dual, though a Constitutional
amendment passed last year pro=-
lvides that restraint mhy be im
posed on the exercise of this right
if it is “in the interests of the
security of the State, friendly re
lations with foreign states,” ete.
' The purpose of this amendment

NEA Special Correspondent
COBLESKILL, N. Y.—(NEA)—
There's a Baptist minister in Cob
leskill who says he’s something
like an old fire horse — “When I
hear a fire bell I'm away and run
ning.”
The Rev. John L. Brown is pas
tor of the First Baptist Church.
He’s also 2 member of the Cob
leskill fire department, a state fire
warden, fire investigator for the
Schoharie county sheriff’s office,
and heads Schoharie county’s for=-
est fire service.
A strange combination?
“Yes,” admits Rev, Brown, “it is
unusual. But that doesn’t stop me
from trying to be a good fireman.
There are two of us in the state,

Before moving to Cobleskill 13

“I've held every office except
