Rieset (Continuedfrom Page 4) force, but soon enough a giant in his party and the government itself. Look around you at home and you'll see it as true there as here. I dropped in on the offices of labor strong man Sandor Caspar, head of SZOT, the AFLrCIO of Hungary. He is head of the labor federation, a member of the Hungarian Socialist Workers Party and vice president of this nation. This 57-year-old former metal worker knows the West.

And he intensely dislikes George Meany, our own national labor chief. In fact, Meany is the most hated American in Eastern Europe. He is the only powerful world figure who is publicly contemptuous of detente, of conciliation with the Soviets and the Chinese Communists. Meany is inflexible. John Cunniff COMMUNIST LEADERS here and elsewhere this side of the line see Meany as Scoop Jackson's sponsor for the American presidency.

And they see Jackson as the 1964 liberal intellectuals viewed Sen. Barry Gold water. Further, they hate Jackson because of his trip to Peking where he and his party were wined, dined and "warned" against the Soviets. And reports here indicate Jackson as taken by Mao's men like Lenin took the Czar's Winter Palace. Caspar and his colleague, Jozsef Timar, Secretary of the Central Council of Hungarian Trade Unions (SZOT), with whom I had a long talk, want open dialogue with Meany.

They want him to recognize them as legitimate trade unions. Meany has sent word they can jump in Lake Balaton. He sees the unions as an arm of the Socialist-Communist government. They argue that a united front is vital to fight the multinational corporations. Which gets a big confusing.

The Socialist nations seek the expertise of America's big corporations. IN FACT, the Communists need them desperately. And say so openly. Yet the propaganda persists against our U.S. firms.

It's an old- fashioned "imperialistic" syndrome from which the old- line Socialists can't seem to drag themselves. And they boast that they have close ties with unions in Western Europe. Indeed, they have. Those unions are Socialist and Communist led. And they are on the move against America's industries.

Such powerful Communist-led confederations as the Italian Confederation of Labor (CGIL) have now joined with the NEW YORK (AP) The continuation of inflation is forcing some obvious changes in American life styles, such as more careful shopping, less elaborate vacations, greater personal debt and more insistence upon pay raises. Here are some important but far less obvious consequences: Personal independence is a fundamental component of the American value system, but some studies indicate that people today fear they are losing the power to control their lives. IN 1968 a national sample of individuals was questioned on the amount of individual control they felt they had over some major facets of their lives. Another sampling was taken this year, with these results: 1. Seventy-seven per cent of those questioned in 1974 say they have very little control over inflation.

This is six per cent more than gave the same answer in 1968. 2. In 1968, some 12 per cent felt they had very little control over accumulating funds for retirement. In 1974, about 21 per cent gave this response, despite a substantial growth in both Social Security and private pension benefits. 3.

In 1968, about 12 per cent said they had very little control over saving part of their earnings regularly. In 1974, the answer was given by 17 per cent. 4. Eleven per cent said they had very little control in providing for their children's college education when they were queried in 1968. Fourteen per cent gave this response in 1974.

THE SAMPLING was conducted by the Institute of Life Insurance, a trade organization that includes as members most of the nation's life insurance companies. In the late 1940s and early 1950s the typical motorist who financed his automobile purchase paid his installments over a 24-month period. By the mid-50s, millions of car buyers British, the French, the Austrian and other non- Communist labor organizations in the comparatively new European federation of labor. Meany constantly has warned Western labor against accepting the Communist-led unions. But he's been ignored.

This has angered him and further intensified his distaste for detente. But while the older giants war with each other, the younger folk wiggle with each other on the Americanized rock-and-roll dance floors of the Socialist world. gradually accepted the 36- month period, and the 46-month period is growing in popularity. It might cost the borrower more in interest charges, but the longer pay period reduces the monthly note. And that counts.

Ford Motor Credit a subsidiary of the manufacturer, indicates that during a recent period about 14 per cent of its business was for 42 months, compared with just 3 per cent a year ago. OTHER MAJOR finance companies also report their customers are taking more time to pay. Now Detroit must assess the impact. Will the increasingly longer pay period extend the normal three-year purchasing cycle closer to four years? Will it, on the other hand, permit more people to buy cars? Hospitalized SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) Cesar Chavez has been hospitalized with back pains and flu symptoms, apparently the result of overwork and a recent two-week fast, his doctor says.

"He needs a good rest," Dr. Jerome Lackner said of the United Farmer Workers leader. "He works night and day and is on his feet for long hours." James J. Kilpatrick ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. We found him propped up on some yellow pillows, his crippled legs barely rumpling the red and orange bedspread.

A couple of hours earlier he had addressed the National Legislative Conference. George Wallace was tired, but not too tired to talk with a couple of correspondents he had known for may years. Joe Kraft asked how he was feeling. The governor put on a solemn face. "I'm doing all right," he said, "except for my heart, of course.

That's not so good. And rny lungs. They're pretty bad. My kidneys are leaking and the bladder gives me trouble, but except for my eyes and my teeth and a few hemorrhoids, I'm all right, Joe. Except for my THEN THE GOVERNOR broke into his old happy grin.

He has the same sort of catfish mouth that William Jennings Bryan had, an orator's mouth, stretched by the rigors of stump speaking. "Jimmy," he said he is the only politician in the world who calls me Jimmy "why are you writing all that stuff down? Don't you know when I'm funnin'? I'm fine, except for my legs." His eyes darkened and the grin retreated. "I can't walk, you know." This is Wallace. Half- paralyzed by the bullet of an attempted assassin, he still can joke about his condition. He still can talk sense to state legislators and young Democrats.

He may well be the shrewdest politician in the Democratic party, but his party has passed him by. In his talk to the state legislators, Wallace sounded all the old bugles of state rights. In his talk to the young Democrats, he spoke bluntly of his party's failure in the 1972 campaign: "THE AVERAGE citizen of this country felt that the government of the United States was not tuned in to their way of thinking but was aloof from him. He felt that the Democratic party paid more attention to some of those who made all the noise but who had never worked a day in their lives but were writing guidelines for people who work and sweat every day for a living, and the average man in this country just did not like it." They clapped for Wallace, and they treated him kindly, but this was mostly out of respect for past events and not for present power. Wallace is in the position of every man whose empty victory is to say "I told you so." He saw his advice rejected by the Democrats in 1972, and he has the air of a man who expects to see his advice rejected again in 1974.

It is not much to say, "I told you so." WALLACE MELLOWS. We baited him with a couple of fat questions, but he was not biting. "There's not as much partisanship as there used to be." Joe Kraft finally got a rise by suggesting that such progressive Southern governors as Carter in Georgia and Askew in Florida were leaving Wallace behind. The governor struggled to a sitting position. "Who's leavin' who behind?" he demanded.

He launched into an indignant recital of his own achievements in Alabama. Then he saw he was being kidded and relaxed. "Hell, Joe," he said, "they the ones that got to catch up." We asked for his views on interest rates, on remedies for inflation, on foreign affairs. He had nothing much to say. Wallace is not a man for specifics, except in the recollection of his own campaigns.

He still can and incessantly does recall every vote he won in 1968. He dwells on those days, the good days. but this is the thin broth of memories, mere convalescent soup. WILL WALLACE come back as a national force? The realities of party politics say no. He will be 55 on Aug.

25, a good age, but the cards are stacked against him for 1976. So far as the national Democratic party is concerned, he has gone the way of Dixie and the Confederate flag. Regionally, at least, once were well- loved symbols, too; once these symbols stirred a Democractic crowd. No more. The stricken Wallace, resting abed in an Albuquerque motel, is one with them now.

(AP) A recommendation that former White House "plumber" Egil Krogh be suspended from practicing law for nine months has been forwarded to the state Bar Association and the State Supreme Court. It was made by a Bar Association disciplinary panel after two days of hearings. The three-lawyer panel heard Massillon Independent Aug.

22,1974 3 Letters to the Editor To the Editor of The Evening Independent: The four-lettered, one syllabled named Presidents of the United States are Polk, Taft and Ford. Polk, the first of the trio, was Number 11 in the Presidential succession. Taft and Ford, are Numbers 27 and 38, respectively, in the presidential succession. And, oddly enough, the numerical difference between the Numbers 38 and 27, is 11. Trite, but right! James A.

Rasor Massillon, Aug. 17 testimony from Krogh among others before reaching a decision Wednesday. Krogh, 35, was convicted in the burglary of the office of Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist and served months of a six- month sentence. The panel chose suspension rather than disbarment because it said Krogh involvement was attributable to inexperience, youth and the unusual atmosphere in the White House at the time.
