4 DAILY HERALD July 10 1959 4444,1 COUSINS: YOU are a good Socialist," said Mr. Shinwell, Mr. Morrison and a few others in their now famous telegram to Frank Cousins this week. That should make the verdict unanimous. No one with ears to hear and a heart to understand has ever doubted that Socialism was a religion for Frank Cousins.

He learnt it in the pits at the age of fourteen. He graduated driving trucks all over the country and later. in the tempestuous days of the General Strike. Rare And, miraculously, he kept his faith at boiling heat' atl through the years of his steady climb up the union hierarchy; and in this last period when, so suddenly, immense power MARGARET HINXMAN reviews THE NEW FILMS and VHEN it comes to chilling the spine, you can keep your electro plated invaders from outer space, mangled marrows from the inttrior of the earth and finned things from the bottom of the sea.

W.C.2. p. MAN OF COURAGE Waving the big stick won't curb has come into his hands. He Is a rare specimen among political and trade union leaders of the modern generation. Ideas and the possibilities of achievement and the way the whole world is going interest him much more than the ticking over of the machine which for most men of power becomes an obsession.

Of Course, his Socialism has many, facets. He loves his own union, is dedicated to the principles of trade unionism and firmly believes 'that the thrust for better wages, particularly for the lowest paid wage-earner, must be a chief instrument in building a new kind of community. Even so, he is wary about pressing the argument for trade unionism beyond the limits of tolerance. itness his courageous assertion of the prindple -at Douglas this week. amid aU the other turmoils, that 100-pertroveny about the bomb.

When the leaden of the Party demanded, in effect, approve our latest declaration on nuclear else," it looked to him too much like a pistol directed at his own head and the beads of his union and the rank and file of the Movement generally. Having turned his back en the way great issues were once settled in the private meetings of a few trade union leaders, and having painfully sought to ensure that the rough breezes of democracy should blow through his own union, he revolted at the idea of subduing the consciences of his own just tikt at moments of agonising choke. waving the big stick. Loyal to democracy, loyal to his union, loyal to the Labour Movement. and loyal to his conscience yes, THAT Frank Cousins.

Unworthy How easy political life would be if they didn't. I don't believe his bitterest enemy, even those who have felt the cut of his tongue, would deny him all those qualities. But, of course, loyalties can conflict or can appear to con- It is tie inevitable existence of this conflict which makes so unworthy the charges of wrecking and personal ambition sometimes hurled against him. libopponents may call It arrogance. His friends will call it courage.

Guide But in reaching the very greatest decisions, a man must be guided by his own inner it what you will. That, I am certain, in the last resort, has been Frank Cousins' guide in grappling with the biggest issue which ever laced men and women on this planet. Tremendous controversy will be unloosed by his action of this week. But if British polities and the British Labour Movement were made poorer by such an action by such a man, then indeed the pillared firmament is rottenness and earth's base built on stubble. his conscience cent trade union membership is properly established by conviction and not by compulsion." Moreover, he is no syndicalist believing that trade union action can make politics a subsidiary affair.

He wants to change British society and knows that only through Parliament can it be done. of the Establishment as a substitute for, or a distraction from, the real fight for the power to govern. Hence also, therefore. his unshakable faith in public ownership. That resolution, passed at his union conference this week, was for him no navel departure.

The desire to see a wide extension of public ownership. complete enough to give the community the capacity to plan, has always been a part of his anatomy, as obvious for those with eyes to see as his strong banes and muscles. But now add another feature to the portrait. For all his brusqueness apd air of authority, Frank Cousins IS a passionate democrat. Socialism and democracy are.

for him, something like interchangeable terms. And that, I believe, is one of the clues to the boldness he has displayed in the great oon- Fervent Hence his fervent eagerness to see a new Labour Government. But, el course, he wants that Government to DO something, not just to stay there. As with Anewln Bevan, the idea of office for the sake of office disgusts him. Nothing provokes his it can be bitter and scorching more than the acceptance by Labour leaders of the trinkets and courtesies the Does YOUR ALMA OK DOSS breathe down HAT kind of boss have you got? Is he moody, sarcastic, fair, considerate, strict, frightening? Are you satisfied with your earnings? Would you regard yourself as highly strung? These are some of the many questions answered by 4,000 workers iii nine factories to discover how satisfied they were with their jobs.

What interested me was whether the UN women among them differed from the men in their answers. So I went along to the London headquarters of the National Institute of Industrial Psychology, which is carrying out this survey, and shot my question at Mr. John Handydde. the Controller of Research. and Ines Mary Speak.

the industrial psychologist who drew. up the questionnaire. And. she added. she never knew where she was with him.

Other comments on the boss were not so hard. Some were downright complimentary. But it stood out a mile that women are more concerned with the people work with and for, while men are concerned with the product they are making. And that women prefer working for a man. But, according to the answers, we complain snore of eye and headaches than men do.

Men, of course, are expected to suffer in silence. Not that i they always do, as any wife will tell you. ested he breathes down my DIFFERENT You won't be surprised to find that at work as everywhere are different from men. For most women theist job is not the most important thing in their lives. And they are less concerned with earnings than men.

At least they showed this by their answers. Women tend to think of their bosses is strict more of ten than men do. A 40-year-old mechanical assembler who answered the questionnaire, describes her boss as "moody, nagging, uninter- ROUTINE Evidently women put up with monotonous work better than men. I suspect that is because we have so many other things on our a larger imagination which we can exercise while doing routine jobs. About half the men and women questioned, complained that they weren't kept in the picture and told enough about what their firm was doing.

This your should 'make sit up and take notice. How men and women get on when' they're working together wasn't included In the survey. So I asked Mr. E. A.

Gorton an executive a famous vacuum firm which employs 4,500 men and more than 1.000 women in its eight British factories MORALE We find men sod women like working together. Mixed groups tend to build morale." he said. He told me something else. In HIS plants, anyway, women complain LESS than more. You won't find many men admitting that.

But Mods bow Brendan Behan The SHY CURSING. shouting, singing and dancing, Brendan Behan, author of "The Quare Fellow and The Hostage," rolls across London again breaking up his own play as he goes, breaking up himself in the process.

I have never met a man I could loathe or love more. Drunk, he can be unbearable; sober, he can be unapproachable. But in both Mike he can charm you out of anger and make you forget the blasphemies and the bravado. GENTLE I have seen him curse a harmless stranger when he badly needed a drink. I have seen him as gentle and charming as any man alive.

He is sick from too much drink, sick from too much selfneglect. He has an illness which makes every pint he drinks another-nail in his coffin. HI, I count my- fellow self one of with him to heed the doctors. Joan Littlewood. the Theatre Workshop producer who discovered his blazing talent, wearily turned to me once and said: Brendan committing suicide." Why? What makes a man like him do IL? Why did any of the great roaring boys of English literature from the Elizabethan Kit Marlowe.

Those of you who have seen Brendan drunk on television; or have in a theatre while he bawled his rebel songs, probably will not accept that basically he Is a shy man. Yet he is. Shy, affectionate, generous, gentle. foul -mouthed, selfish, gross and impatient. That la the Behan I know.

I don't like saying it, but If Behan store drinking, stops brawling and. settles down into, respectability, he will stop writing too. And though I love the man. I'd rather see him go out in blaze of plays than remain. an empty hulk.
