Show f ‘Remember When We Got Long Vacations?’ Salt lake ffibuite Ije 17 Friday Morning July rfJx0 1959 ff union delegates in Poland He said: “I give you our solemn pledge that never never never shall we launch any country anywhere any war against time" ' at any He went on to say that believe capitalist countries war either and that they Russia realized another war he did not would start as well as would bring "calamity for all humanity” No doubt Mr Khrushchev as of the moment at least means what he says TIIE BALANCE of forces— or balance of terror if one prefers— in the world today means that war would bring catastrophe to the aggressor as well as to the attacked It would not be a question of "whether communism or capitalism would survive such an Armageddon but whether civilization or even the human race itself Jobs for Teens would survive basis On th ' x of Mr Editor Tribune: Tragic is the fate of the elderly man who — often at the apex of his creative life — is denied future employment because of fallacious idea that at age 65 he is no longer capable of productive effort Equally tragic is the fate of the teenager who because of his youth is denied the same opportunity I am a man pastf 70 The mores of the New England society in which I lived had not been influenced by the hearsay that it was injurious to labor with for a teen-age- r his hands A boy was encouraged to seek employment during school vacations and employers were glad to hire them We all worked By labor we hardened our muscles built up our bodies and our minds strengthened True we had our sweatshops and I rejoice at their passing but in correcting this evil I wonder if we have not gone too far I believe there Is a crying need for temporary job opportunities for deserving girls and boys who need to work and desire to ’ work pledge and the probability that he means it the West might be tempted to breathe a sigh of relief and forget the peril of nuclear war the future Unfortunately is not that safe and secure In the first place Mr Khrushchev’s pledge could be unintentionally violated by accident It is even possible that some ghastly mistake might see the West launching the war — or at least triggering it —which would cancel the Khrushchev pledge There is further a real danger of mis- on the part of the Soviet leadership W Averell Harriman former New York governor and to Russia warned of this recently after a long talk with the Soviet premier In Moscow In that talk Mr Khrushchev was "blunt and brutal" blusteringly telling Harriman: "If you want war you can calculation have Khrushchev’s it” THERE IS DANGER said Harriman that 'Khrushchev through miscalculation and a profound ignorance of this country and its 'strength "might overplay his Hoffa’s Power Drive We hope members of Congress other than those on the Senate Rackets Committee gave close attention to some statements made by James R Hoffa blustering but canny and capable head of the Teamsters Union during his final appearance as a witness One interesting bit was a shouted "that’s a lie” with which he responded to a charge of Committee Counsel Robert F Kennedy that his pal Owen Bert Brennan was the bagman who held payoffs taken by Hoffa However when Hoffa was asked to explain the source of a mysterious $10000 all In $50 bills he said: "Ask Brennan” The committee did so but Brennan conveniently took the Fifth Amendment REAL CLEVER! The charge Is a lie Ask Brennan about the mysterious payoff money Then the pal clams up via the Fifth Mighty helpful for purposes of legislative investigation Less Intriguing but far more challenging was Hoffa’s admission that he has been negotiating with Harry Bridges (suspected of being a Communist) and Louis Goldblatt (who Kennedy said definitely was a Communist) on his plan to form a single huge transport union Bridges and Goldblatt are leaders of the West Coast Longshoremen’s Union This evidence that Hoffa Is industri- ously building the transport labor empire he projected more than a year ago should make congressmen think—If not shudder For if Hoffa succeeds in that dream hs could become bigger than the government itself The drive of this ruthless arrogant man toward dominant labor power In America Is proceeding apace IMs clear that organized labor itself can’t stop him Nor are the courts apparently able to do so Nor have sober elements within his own union been able to oust him nt 'The onlyTiope Is IKe power of "govern-meAnd the way Hoffa’s going that hope seems fragile " hand” Confronted with the necessity of having his bluff called or bulling It through the Soviet dictator to save face with his own people and perhaps his own position of power with his colleagues might forget his solemn pledge This is not the end of the story either Communism’s He repeated that communism would dig capitalism’s grave — not he explained that communism would "take shovels” and do the job but simply that "history will inevitably give the victory to socialism” Even without a shooting war the American way of life can be destroyed —and Mr Khrushchev and the Communists are determined and confident that it shall be destroyed IN SOME RESPECTS this may be an even greater challenge to Americans than the challenge of intercontinental missiles and nuclear bombs For this Is a threat that cannot be countered by slogans or pious talk Only the dedication and willingness to work and sacrifice needed to win a shooting war can win this other kind of war Communists have that dedication The question is: Have we?
