Management Rights
And Unemployment

'ORTNIGHT AGO, a United Autoworker's
'nion official said his union might try to
automakers' rights to locate their plants.
eth Bannon, director of UAW's Ford de-
nent, cited rumors the big automaker is
ng out with two new compacts, and argued

Ford vice-president, who with Bannon par-
ted in a debate on automation, made no
diate reply, but later in the week shot
this statement.. "To .'keep the record

sake it clear that under no circumstances°

sign elsewhere the right of its manage-
to decide where any of its plants may be
ed . ".. Only management is or can be
fed to make the decision in the best in-
is of stockholders, customers and em-
s." This prerogative has not been ques-
: in the past, and "to have it otherwise
bring about results that would endahger
ompetetive position in the industry, affect
bility to meet the needs and wants of our
mers and consequently seriously threaten
'uture and well being of our employes."
F'ORTUNATELY, both Bannon and Denise

ent's rights in a company is an absurdity,
it is all it is asking. It isn't. The workers

alone, is notably insufficient for the solution
of society's economic problems.
THE REAL POINT of debates like this has
been clear for a long time. It is to be hoped
that it will be better remembered. It is that a
company like Ford cannot simply treat labor
as a commodity that can be sunimoned forth
by a market demand whenever needed,,in the
requisite amount, and largely ignored the rest
of the time. U.S. companies are a lot better in
this respect than they were not too many years
ago, but they still have a long way to go.
The nature of production is shifting, and, as
in any time of flux, there are bound to be se-
rious dislocations. It's up to the companies, and
the public, to ease the effect of the dislocations.
Simple assertions of the undoubted right to
manage do not help at all, no matter how true
they are.
UNDOUBTEDLY, all the displaced workers
can be reabsorbed into an expanding econ-
omy. This likely will involve actual geographic
shifts of workers, and more important, occu-
pational changes. A single worker can't do these
things. He hasn't the resources, and he doesn't
know enough. This is where the companies can
help. Over the short-run, it means negating the
savings of improved production; but neglect
means a slighting of the social responsibilities
of the large corpbration.
Unfortunately, industry seems often to forget
the brilliant insight of Henry Ford's introduc-
tion of the five-dollar wage: that its own work-
ers are industry's best customers. Putting men
out of work simply to save money is a dead-end
street, if the men are not immediately re-em-
ployed elsewhere. And the expectations of work-
ers, who are also consumers, are important. If
a man feels in danger of his job, likely he will
hedge against the danger, not push ahead, con-
sumptionwise.
IF COMPANIES have great responsibilities, so
do the workers, or their organizations, the
unions. One reason why industry is not stand-
ing in line to build plants in Michigan is the
state's so-called "bad labor climate."
Now, of course, management's definition of a
bad labor climate and an objectively-bad labor
climate are usually two different things. (Man-
agement are no angels,'either.) But there have
been a great many studies which seem to indi-
cate labor-management relations in the state
could be better.
More important in the national contest, un-
ion defense of "featherbedding" and other ri-
diculous work standards is in the long-run de-
leterious to the most efficient functioning of,
the nation's economy.
(BVIOUSLY, these make-work practices can't
be ended immediately. But in the long-run,
there's enough work to be done to absorb the
labor of a great many men. And perhaps 40
hours per week of it.
The whole solution isn't going to be easy, but
it's a necessary one. The first step is the hard-
est. It is simply the evidence of a little more
enlightenment and mutual common sense on
the parts of both management and labor.

Stevens had pressured fellow members Connor
Smith and C. Allen Harlan out of their support
of John L. Sweeney by threatening not to
nominate them for the post. He is now applying
the same pressure on them to accept Quimby.
In spite of the fact that Harlan has been'
renominated and Smith did not seek a nomi-
nation, the pressure is continuing. More pres-
sure might come from past Democratic state
chairman Neil Staebler, who would stand in
line to get Quimby's national committeeman
job if Quimby won the secretarial post.
PIS TAINT OF putting politics into educa-
tion has reached the top as GOP state
chairman George M. Van Peursem has ac-
cused Governor Swainson of backing Stevens
and stipulating that the new secretary "must
be in sympathy with the Democratic party."
"Sympathy" or political affiliations should
have no effect on the choice of a man for an
educational post.
If the Democrats succeed in making a key
post at MSU a political plum, this trend could
extend to presidential positions, and eventually
no man, however capable, could achieve an
influential education post without allying andf
perhaps compromising himself with a political
party.
This could becpme disastrous in terms of a
free educational system and could seriously
lower the quality of educational staffs in
Michigan.
THEPOLITICAL PARTIES themselves are
showing a great weakness if they stoop to
making education a political reward. They
show that they are more interested in gaining
power and playing politics than in the actual
welfare of state and future state citizens.

WITHIN less than seven weeks
Ann Arbor will decide if it
wants another year of one-party
Republican government, when it
chooses a mayor and five of the
ten City Council members.
At the time of the last mayoralty
slection just two years ago, the
mayor and four councilmen were
Democrats. When Democratic
Mayor Samuel 'Eldersveld, a Uni-
versity political science professor,
decided not to run for a second
term the Democrats nominated
councilman Lloyd Ives, who was
defeated by the G.O.P.s Cecil 0.
Creal.
In the same campaign the Dem-
ocrats lost one Council seat, and
in 1960's spring election the other
three Democrats still holding
seats, including Ives, were all de-
feated.
THE PRESENT city political
scene leads to at least two super-
ficial impressions-that a council
which has had no dissension to
speak of for a year is stagnant and
ineffective, and that the Demo-
cratic Party hereabouts has come
close to extinction within two
years.
The first impression will be the
subject of a later column. The
second one is enhanced by the.
nomination of Mrs. Dorthee S.
Pealy for mayor by the Democrats.
Not that Mrs. Pealy is a bad
candidate. On the contrary, she
has unusually fine qualifications
for the office such as a Ph.D. in
political science and intensive
academic study of municipal gov-
ernment.
* * 8
HOWEVER, TRADITION runs
strong in these parts and she is
the first woman ever to seek the
position. Chances are that there
was feverish and fruitless talent
scouting among eligible Democrat-
ic males before Mrs. Pealy was se-
lected.
This lack of political power and
available talent among city Dem-
ocrats is more apparent than real.
The typical Republican candi-
date-the retired businessman or
established lawyer-can afford to
run for office more readily than
the typical -Democratic professor
or young white collar worker, in
terms of time and money.
To be more than a symbolic
mayor might take a considerable
toll on the careers of many Dem-
ocratic leaders;Ethis was one rea-
son why Prof. Eldersveld did not
run again.
THE TALENTED MEN are
present even if they are not all
seeking offices. Thenewly-elected
city Democratic Chairman, Prof.
Gerhard L. Weinberg of the his-
tory department, heads a refur-
bished party organization which
features many new faces.
This new task force has quite a
task ahead of it. In a solidly Re-
publican area the Democratic
party workers are not over-abund-
ant and the rank-and-file must be
supplemented by many independ-
ents or those who normally don't
vote, to produce, any Democratic
victories.

TWO of the most powerful Re-
publicans in the State Senate
recently added two new rationali-
zations to back up GOP obstruc-
tionism to any and all Democratic
proposals.

Chairman ClydeH. Geerlings, who
stated that Swainson's sensible tax
reform program doesn't have any
chance of getting out of his com-
mittee ,proclaimed that "the peo-
ple feel they spoke last November
when they approved the sales tax
hike." Geerlings said that mail,
phone calls and personal conver-
sations were running 99.9 per cent
against the Governor's -program.
But at the same time, the con-
servative Senator added that he
will oppose any move to put the
income tax package on the April.

beling pushed by some of his Re-
publican colleagues.

SENATOR ELMER ("I never
change my mind") Porter con-
curred with Geerlings grim predic-
tion and cited the poor business
conditions and resultant high wel-
fare demands as the barrier to any
expansion of state institutions and
agencies. Said Porter, who is other-
wise famous for his cryptic com-
ments on the Wayne State speaker
ban, "One thing we have to do is;
take care of the sick and hungry
whether the schools are running.
or not," a curious bit of logic from
an ultra-conservative Michigan
legislator.

THE UNITED NATIONS is now
about to reap the harvest of
its own mistakes-or perhaps it
would be better to say its own dis-
abilities-in the Congo.
It was fairly cleaat the begin-
ning of the crisis that by attempt-
ing to police the situation, and to
help the Congolese establish a
stable government in the mean-
time, the UN was attempting to
give help where there was no one
to help. Trying to establish a
stable government quickly was
hopelsss.
So was trying to establish a
long-term trusteeship, under which
the UN would have taken over
lock, stock and barrel for perhaps
20 years until a government cadre
could be established. Too many
members lacked either the money
or the will.
IN THIS situation the UN tried
a police action, in which the po-
lice were not authorized to act, as
thoughthey were dealing with a
civilized country where the mere-
presence of world public opinion
could have some effect. It did not.
Different factions constantly
challenged 'UN authority from the
first, even when, every effort was'
made to stand clear of Congolese
politics. Then the UN sent Raje-
shwar Dayal, of India, to head the
operation.
Soon there developed a feeling
in the west, and there were con-
crete reports from observers in the
Congo, that Dayal was pursuing
the Indian type of neutralism
which played into the hands of
the Lumumba group.
IN THE LAST of many arrests,
Lumumba was physically mistreat-
ed and finally killed.
The internatioial police had not
kept order, and such attempts as
they had made gave the neutrals
an impression that they were work-
ing for the, western powers and for
Belgium, the ousted' landlord.
Now the Soviet Union has bro-
ken relations with Secretary-Gen-
eral Hammarskjold, bringing the
UN situation back to where it was
in 1950 when Russia also broke
with a former secretary-general,
Trygvie Lie,Nover UN action

munists.

Hammarskjold will serve out his
term on the ground that retire-
ment of the secretary-general un-

for the UN, despite the fact it
will mean three years of noncom-
munication between his office and
the Soviet Union.

HIUAC...
To the Editors;
CURRENTLY the House Admin-
istrative Committee is in the
process of considering the HUAC's
two-year appropriation. A number
of organizations, representing the
legal profession, Church, and La-
bor, as well as representation from
the press, have urged the abolish-
ment of the HUAC or have severe-
ly criticized its past activities.
First and foremost is the criti-
cism that the HUAC has carried
out its mandate without any clear
procedural guarantees for pro-
tecting the rights and dignity of
individuals brought before it. In
this respect even a cursory review
of its activities will convince one
of the intense damage it has done
to American political ideology and
procedure; hence, the heading
chosen for this letter.
Secondly, its mandate has been
obscure from the beginniing, thus
allowing the HUAC to investigate
private persons as to theiropin-
ions and beliefs. These are powers
expressly forbidden to Congress by
the First Amendment. A poten-
tially long list of further criti-
cisms can be abridged byrmerely
mentioning the following: that the
HUAC, judging from its annual
reports, has shown to underplay
or not even mention events ivhich
once, at their instigation, caused
newspaper headlines, thus exem-
plifying an utter cynicism about
their mission; that appropriations

viction that the time has come for
a reaffirmation of a few simple
beliefs. Beliefs which seen to have
been so sadly misunderstood by a
few who had; but did not use, the

Collision Cost.
To the Editor:
APPARENTLY there exists some
confusion in people's minds
concerning automobile insurance.
Liability insurance, which virtual-
ly everyone owns, covers 100 per
cent of any damage done to an-
other car. Collision insurance,
which is usually held only by those
who drive fairly late model auto-
mobiles, is usually $50' or 'i$100
"deductible." This means that any
damage done to a person's own car
is covered only after the owner
has paid the first $50 or $100, as
the case may be. Damage done to
another, on the other 'hand, is
covered completely.
For this reason, if the person
who did about $100 damage to my

parked Thursday noon in the Uni-
versity lot behind Helen Newberry
