Meany Calls
Wage Plans
'One-Sided'
AFL-CIO Council
Claims Guidelines
'Smack of Trickery'
MIAMI BEACH (A')-AFL-CIO
President George Meany said yes-
terday the White House wage
guidelines "smacks of trickery,"
and told Secretary of Labor W.
Willard Wirtz that organized labor
won't accept one-sided economic.
controls to curb inflation.
Wirtz said the Johnson admin-
istration will continue to try to
make voluntary wage-price re-
straints work because it does not
want to impose outright federal
controls.
Meany and Wirtz spoke at sep-
arate news conferences after Wirtz
talked behind closed doors to the
executive council of the 13-million
member AFL-CIO, which has been
showing signs of increasing dis-
content with many administration
policies.
Criticizes Advisors
Meany criticized President John-
son's Council of Economic Advis-1
ors for not adding booming 1965
economic figures to boost the wage
guidelines from 3.2 to 3.6 per
cent.
Under the White House guide-
lines, wage increases up to 3.2
per cent a year are considered in
line with increased labor produc-
tivity and thus noninflationary.
Meany said if Johnson declared
an emergency and imposed con-
trols on profits as well as wages
and prices, labor would accept
them, but that "these are one-way
guidelines. They just keep wages
down."
AFL-CIO leaders reportedly are
considering urging the government
to impose excess profit taxes on
corporations. Wirtz at one point
called the White House guidelines
"controls," but corrected himself
to say they were a wage-price
"stabilization" policy.
Wirtz, said it was understand-
able that labor rejects wage lim-
itations and that industry doesn't
want profit controls, and desorib-
ed this as "a very healthy pulling
and hauling."
Concern in Country
But, he added, "I think this
country is very, very concerned,
and properly so, that prices stay
down."~
Wirtz said the labor leaders
"strongly" expressed their views
on the guidelines. Meany des-
cribed the exchange as "amicable."
Asked about some suggestions
that organized labor might "sit it
out" in this year's congressional
and state elections because of un-
happiness with the Johnson ad-
ministration, Meany said he had
"strong feelings" but would with-
hold them until later in the ses-
sions.
Meany reportedly will urge that
the AFL-CIO continue strong po-
litical support of Democrats fav-
orable to labor.
Blasts Dirksen
In a blast at Senate Republican
Leader Everett M. Dirksen, who
blocked the AFL-CIO's chief legis-
lative goal in Congress this year,
Meany said: "Dirksen has raised
. once again the question of
whether his party is the antilabor
party."
NO REASON GIVEN:
Sukarno Ousts Nasution,
Arch Anti-Communist
SINGAPORE (P) - President of army generals-presumably in-
Sukarno of Indonesia dismissed cluding Nasution-planned to take
Gen. Abdul Haris Nasution, arch over the government. The army
foe of Indonesian Communists, as
defense minister, Radio Jakarta
reported yesterday.
Also ousted was the navy min-
ister, Vice Adm. Martadinata, an-
other anti-Communist.
Thus Sukarno seemed to have
triumphed, at least for now, in a
power struggle with the armed
forces, which have been purging
the Communists since they tried
a coup last October. Sukarno op-
posed the purge, although the coup
was aimed at his regime.
In the broadcast from his palace,
Sukarno said Nasution's former
combined post of defense minister
and chief of the armed forces had
been abolished.
No Reason
He gave no reason for dismis-
sing Nasution, 47, and Marta-
dinata, 48, beyond saying the
changes were normal. Nasution
led the armed forces in crushing
the Communist uprising last Oc-
tober. His 5-year-old daughter
was killed by the rebels, who were
after him.
Sukarno named Maj. Gen. Haji
Sarbini, little known outside In-
donesia, as the new defense min-
ister. Sarbini was the former army
veterans minister. The president
implied that Nasution still is chief
of staff of the armed forces.
The president did not list Na-
sution's name, however, in, reading
the list of service chiefs. Retained
was L. Gen. Suharto as army chief.
He is another anti-Communist.
.Adm. Mulyani is the new navy
minister.
"Right" Forces
Sarbini made a statement claim-
ing, "counterrevolutionary forces
inside and outside the country are
now intensifying their efforts to
turn the country to the right.
These forces are spreading psy-
chological warfare against Indo-
nesia and the Indonesian people."
Certain to raise armed forces
resentment was Sukarno's an-
nouncement that the former air
force chief, Omar Dhani, will be
minister for aviation training. The
army accused Dhani of siding with
the Communists in the coup at-
tempt and he took off for Europe
in a hurry. He is believed to be
still there.
Once heir apparent to Sukarno,
Nasution found himself differing
1 a few years ago with the presi-
dent's policy of trying to balance
off army influence by appointing
Communists to positions of power.
They apparently split openly after
the October coup attempt.
Sukarno deplored the campaign
Nasution and other armed forces
leaders led against Communists.
He tried to hold off the Com-
munist purge, but with little effect.
At Nasution's urging, Sakarno
reluctantly agreed to trial by mili-
tary tribunals of Communist lead-
ers suspected of leading the coup.
F Communist leader Njono testified
at his trial last week that the coup
was attempted because a council
denied this.
Reshuffle Normal
Sukarno described the reshuffle
as normal and said "nor is it
caused by a certain clique." He
did not name the clique but saidG
the changes were not being made'
because of demands of university
students.
Student demonstrators have been
demanding harsher measures
against the Communists.
Sukarno also announced he has
appointed a new premier-Dr. Kai
Haji Idham Khalid. chairman of
the Moslem Nahadatul Ulama
party. This may have been a sop,
since Nasution is a Moslem. Mos-
lems led the wave of attacks after
the coup that may have killed
100,000 or more Communists.'
Sukarno said the other three
deputy premier posts remained un-
changed. They are First Deputy
Subandrio-accused by some army
elements of having a hand in the
attempted coup-Second Deputy
Johannes Leimena and Third
Deputy Chaerul Salleh.
Sukarno also announced that he
will now supervise the information
portofolio. But the information
minister, Maj. Gen. Achmadi, will
remain minister, the president
said.
Meanwhile, a military tribunal
yesterday found Communist lead-
er Njono guilty of leading last
October's unsuccessful coup and
sentenced him to death, Radio Ja-
karta reported.
Njono, who went on trial more
than a week ago, has 30 days in
which to appeal the death sen-
tence, according to Radio Jakar-
ta. He is a member of the PKI's
Central Committee.
Njono had testified that the
Communists attempted the coup
because they believed a group of
army generals was planning to
seize power. A special armed forc-
es committee later drew up a
statement denying that the gen-
erals had planned to overthrow
Sukarno.
