About 976,000 members will be eligible to vote. They'll choose a president from between two men who, side-by-side, have led them for more than 12 years. Contenders for a four-year term starting June 1 are incumbent David J. McDonald and his chief lieutenant, Secretary-Treasurer I. W. Abel. Narrow Decision Everything points to a narrow T decision in this struggle for con- trol of the AFL-CIO UnitedrSteel- workers of. America, the nation's third largest union which boasts assets of $23 million. This is the first real threat to the rule of a USW president in the organization's 22-year exist- ence. It also is one of the few times the head of a major union has been challenged for re- election. Founded in 1942, the offspring of John L. Lewis' United Mine Workers, the steelworkers union traditionally has stressed unity and close-knit leadership. Hierarchy Split Early last November a split in the union hierarchy, apparently festering for some time, came out in the open. Abel announced he'd run against McDonald. The knockdown fight erupted at a crucial time. This year the steelworkers negotiate new con- tracts with the basic steel in- dustry-a vital force in the na- tional economy-as well as the aluminum, can and steel fabricat- ing industries. As President Lyndon B. John- son's Council of Economics Ad- visers said recently, "Prompt and responsible settlement in the steel industry is important for sustain- ed, balanced advance In 1965." Foundering Negotiations Basic steel talks soon foundered, had to be suspended Jan. 8 until after the union election. Since then McDonald, colorful, articulate and outgoing, and Abel, unpretentious, soft-spoken and retiring, have been on the cam-; paign trail. McDonald has keyed his can- didacy to the theme that he is a' "good, hard-nosed negotiator," and calls this the union's most pressing need. He has characterized Abel as a "clerk," somebody out of his depth EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the fourth in a series of articles on panels on world affairs held at the Overseas Press Club last weekend. By DEBORAH BEATTIE Associate Editorial Director Special To The Daily NEW YORK-"The North At- lantic Treaty Alliance is not' crumbling, but changing; it is reported crumbling because we fail to see the changes." This was Time-Life News Service represen- tative R. Edward Jackson's im- mediate response to the topic of "The Crumbling Atlantic Al- liance." Discussing the problems of Western Europe at the seventh annual College Editors' Confer- ence with Jackson were Emanuel Freedman, Sidney Gruson and Paul Hofmann, of The New York Times. "If we expect everything from NATO, then it is crumbling. But if we consider its original function -protection-then it is not fail-, ing," Jackson contended. De Gaulle The panel agreed that the al- liance is shaky because of French President Charles de Gaulle. De Gaulle wants a Europe united under France, rather than under the U.S. Freedman pointed out that Eur- ope is changing because Eastern and Western Europe are coming together and the Iron Curtain is coming down. De Gaulle saw this trend and encouraged it; Wash- ington was slower to realize it. De Gaulle has developed eco- nomic and cultural ties with East- ern Europe, realizing that the more these ties are developed, the more independent of Moscow these countries will be, Freedman explained. This makes it easier for de Gaulle to negotiate with them. From a European's point of view, de Gaulle -is so strong that our policy toward him has been a failure-he has many cards to play. The panel pointed out that tae crisis between the U.S. and ,France deeply involves West Germaay, the great land power, and Great Brit- ain with its special alliances. De Gaulle insists that France's military, diplomatic and economic resources and Germany's warlike reputation make it imperative that France be the European lead- er. Because of this, de Gaulle is particularly irritated by the nu- clear ties between the U.S. and Great Britain. But if the U.S. and nuclear power could be eliminated, De Gaulle would be willing to, share power with Britain. A diminuation of the special ties between Britain and the U.S. would be best for both sides, Giu- son declared. La Gloire Jackson noted, however, that although de Gaulle knocked she chip off the French shoulder and restored la gloire, France couldn't; possibly be as important after de Gaulle's death. His death won't change policy, but without de Gaulle's dominant personality, French policy decisions will have less force. De Gaulle was able to defeat the U.S. multilateral force pro- posal because he faced Europeans with the attitude that going along with the U.S. would be considered a break from France. Thus the same Europeans who had sought the MLF backed down. Gruson believes it was a tns- take for President Johnson not to demand support for its plsn because it made the U.S. look weak i vis a vis de Gaulle. It set back any resolution of this issue sev - eral years, because the U.S. is un- willing to face confrontation now. But it will have to face it' some day, he commented. Germany Unity? As for the reunification of West Germany, the panel agreed that there are only two countries which really want it to happen-West Germany and the U.S. It is a raw nerve to Eastern and Western Europe, where a divided Germany is considered a prerequisite toE world peace. The British are horrified at > the idea, and de Gaulle will fight it with everything in his power, Gruson said. Responding to questions about the Common Market, Hofmann in-! dicated an inherent weakness in its present structure "The Com-' mon Market is a cozy club of 'haves' in a larger club of 'haves'- all white, all in the North. Out- side are the 'have-nots'-the colored poor-pressing against it. History shows that the barbarians always prevail." Can't Continue Jackson added that because there is pressure on the Common Market from other European. countries, it cannot continue to shut itself away and keep every- body waiting. Hofmann called for the U.S. toI use its political influence to prod the Common Market countries to invest in underdeveloped areas and open their membership rather than support a cozy island of well-' being. Predicting the future of the Western alliance, the panel agreed that the community of interest of Western powers will keep it together, regardless of the techni- cal devices used. NATO's scope is limited, and it will have to be reorganized, but many members want more political dialogue which would be a basis for reorganiza- tion. "There is conflict because there is interest," Hofmann said.
