IIMWASHtMCTON Here Is Wheat Winnowed From the Conference Chaff PtTTEX E090N MM A I I A Lober In Stnsibla Reply To Legislation Organized labor has learned a bitter lesson, it would seem, from the events of the past sum mer.

The uprush of popular sen timeot that defeated in Congress tbfj moderate labor bill and passed in its stead the tougher bill obviously surprised union leaders. After some inevitable recrim inations, they have responded in a sensible and constructive fash ion. One of the greatest irri tants since passage of the ner Act first encouraged wide spread organization has been the jurisdictional dispute. This is touched off, not by disagreements between labor and management, but by a quarrel be tween rival unipni seeking the same jobs. It has been parti cularly vexing in construction trades, where new materials and new methods have come into conflict with the old, rigidly organized craft union and their rules.

Fights between the steel workers and the building uatons have been long and costly in many instances. leaders of the AFL-CIO at their biennial meeting, have agreed to submit disputes be tween rival unions to arbitration by "outside neutrals." The national action, follows some individual decisions made by local In Youngstown, Ohio, the steel workers and construction trades have concluded their own agreement on arbitration. Automobile workers and the building trades have concluded agreements in Detroit and Indianapolis. But a nationwide agreement has many important implications. Apart from removing a cause of labor disputes that was never understood by the general public, it shows a new effort by the merged labor movement to merge in fact as well as in name.

Labor has frequently pleaded that it be allowed to "police its own house," but its leaders are the first to admit that the policing has been halfhearted and not too effective. One reason is the still-present rivalry between some of the newer unions and leaders of Private nursing during the CIO and the older, more rigid AFL unions.

When he left he was still the same old lion, but be was wearing lamb's wool, which be tried to pull over the eyes. To mix another metaphor on him, when he arrived he had a chip on shoulder, and be bragged that he could lick anybody in the bouse. Nobody was convinced.

When he departed-- with his soapbox speech to convince himself and his people back home that he still believed communism was the best way of life-- he was tired and meek. Effusively polite, but still pouting his shopworn slogans for improved friendly relations with the United States and everybody else. An end to the cold war, general and complete disarmament, world peace. WHO DID HE SELL? Probably no one not already Com- muist. But "the new spirit of Washington" he tried to ereato replaces the four-year-old "new spirit of Geneva." It's still almost impossible to tell them apart.

After the Big Four summit meeting of July, 19SS, world tensions were supposed to be greatly relieved. The questions of disarmament, Germany and improvement of East-West contacts were. bucked by the four hesds of government to their foreign ministers. They were told to meet in October and solve them. They met in October and did not solve them.

Things were right where they had before. THAT IS ABOUT WHERE THE GETTYSBURG COMMU- NIQUE leaves after the Eisenhower-Khrushchev talks. Negotiations are to be resumed on Germany an increase in cultural exchanges between the United States and U.S.S.R. will be reached in the future "the question of general disarmament is the most important one facing the world today." At the 1955 Geneva conference, President Eisenhower proposed to the Russians a full "exchange of blueprints" on military forces and "open-skies" inspection. This was to be a first step toward preventing surprise attack, thereby lessening tensions.

The Russians didn't buy it. This year before the United Nations, Chairman Khrushchev unveiled his plan for "general and complete disarmament." Nobody is buying that, either. Apparently, not even Khrushchev expected to make a sale, for he proposed in the next breath an alternative, limited disarmament plan. The "new spirit of Geneva" lasted about seven months. In January, 1955, Marshal Bulganin, then chairman of the Soviet council of proposed a 20-year bilateral friendship treaty with the United States.

President Eisenhower promptly turned it down on the ground that it was unnecessary under the U.N. Charter. The President then made his famous pronouncement that it was Russian "deeds, not words alone, that count." It will be Russian deeds over the next six months-- before the President goes to Moscow, if he ever does-- that will tell whether "the new spirit of Washington" is worth a hill of beans. THERE ARE TWO STRAWS OF HOPE to grasp at. One: In the final Eisenhower-Khrushchev communique, the declaration in the ncxt-to-last sentence that the two leaders "agreed that all outstanding international questions should be settled, not by the application of force, but by peaceful negotiations." The second: President Eisenhower's statement to his press conference that the impasse over Berlin was broken, and that no party to the Berlin situation was now under any sort of threat or duress.

If that can be taken as a first step toward the renunciation of war, it is the only constructive thing to come from these talks. But deeds will count-- not the words.

How good is the girl doing your homework?" 0 By FRANCIS STILLEY (For Hri NEW YORK (AP)-Having just returned from a vacation, I now place, offer several bits of wisdom and sage advice for other vacationers, none of whom will pay the sligHt est bit of attention. Do not take a vacation. Work is good for man.

But--when you do, do not return moaning about how hard it is to go back to work Your fellow worker can moan louder and longer than you. If you go gallivanting around the countryside, leave most of your money at home. Otherwise, you will always manage to spend more than you can afford. Be sure to take the children.

As a father, remain aloof from all family arguments as to where to go, what to see, routes to take, umn etc. Then after all the squabblers have run out of steam, do just what you intended in the first By all means carry along all the clothing you possess. You won't need any of it except for what you're wearing when you start, but it will starve out the moths at home.

Try to cover about 800 miles a day if by auto. You won't have much time to relax and see the sights, but think bow happy it will make the gas and oil companies.

The younger men are interested in world affairs, in social legislation and in making labor more politically articulate. This last effort has obviously failed in the last few years. The threats and exhortations made to Congress had no effect, and it is quite obvious that union members vote as individuals and not as a laboring class. The agreement to arbitrate disputes may not seem a very dramatic method of redressing the balance, of back to labor some of tlie it enjoyed during the electric days of the. New Deal.

The situation is avoided by the lifelong use of our modem prophylactic drugs, such as probenecid.

Most gouty individuals suffer little or no distress when prophylaxis is followed faithfully. Gout is a hereditary disease in which pOrine food substances are not metabolized properly. One of the end products of thi: chemical reaction (uric acid) accumulates in the serum of the body fluids in large amounts and is responsible for the painful swollen joints that develop when the condition flares up from time to time. Probenecid makes the filters of the kidneys more porus to uric acid. As a result, the chcm ical is more readily eliminated from the body.

Those with mild gout are controled with one tablet a day, whereas more severe cases require two or more tablets. What could be easier? Col- chicine is another prophylactic some physicians recommend. It may be used with probenecid. A strict diet is not needed when these medications are used. Liver, kidney and sweetbreads are taboo because they are rich in purines.

Meat, fish, or seafood contains less purine and can be consumed safely in limited amounts. It is important to maintain normal weight because obesity upsets the applecart. Tomorrow--Ridding the body of uric acid. COKES AND CANDY R. M.
