Reuther Tells Labor ANumber 27
•ImsU.A.W. EmphasizesProfit Sharing,Unemployment Aid
Eventual acceptance by management of controversial unionproposals was predicted by laborleader Victor Reuther during aninterview with the CaliforniaTech Tuesday.
Reuther, who is concluding hisCaltech visit as part of the YMCALeaders of America program today, is Administrative Assistantto the President and Director ofthe Washington office of theUnited Auto Workers.
"Progress is made by challenging existing ideas," Reuther said.He gave seniority and pensionplans as examples of union ideasthat management at first resistedand that now are widely accepted.
More Unemployment Pay"Supplemental unemployment
benefits could be increased to80 per cent of full wages," Reuther asserted. The present levelsare around 60 or 65 per cent."The unemployment funds arehardly being used, even with today's widespread unemployment.The interest on the funds aloneis almost sufficient to make thepayments," he said.
Profit sharing by the workers,based upon discussion betweenlabor and management, was predicted by Reuther. "The basicprinciple of profit sharing isagreed upon," he said. "All thatneeds to be done is to find anequitable basis for distribution."
Explains Profit PlanReuther went on to explain
the U.A.W.'s plan for profit sharing. Ten per cent of profits before taxes would be earmarkedfor plant expansion; 45 per centwould remain with the companyto be distributed to stockholdersand executives. Out of the remaining 45 per cent, half wouldbe given back to the consumers

Dr. Linus Pauling listens intently to questions posed by NBC's"Mflf\t thf\ Press" panel.
"The PalllingIjine"When asked about his "long
record of associations with Communist fronts and causes" andhaving "always rather mouthedthe Communist point of view,"Pauling retorted that possiblythe Communists followed thePauling line, but Pauling didn'tfollow anybody's line. He admitted he had signed a number ofpetitions, among them one forthe Rosenbergs, but said hedid it because he was "interestedin individuals and the U. S. Constitution."
Clean Bomb "l<'ralld"On the question of continuing
tests to improve weapons, suchas perfecting clean bombs, Pauling snapped, "This is just afraud, this clean weapon business. The United States isn'tmanufacturing clean weaponsand putting them into our stock

Pauling Defends Views On T.V.Denies ChargesOf CommunistSympathies
Dr. Linus Pauling, appearingon NBC's "Meet the Press," lastSunday, defended his views onH-bomb testing and faced charges of communist leanings. Emphasizing the danger of nuclearwar, Pauling said that the United States is just as likely as Russia to begin a nuclear war,through some psychological ormechanical mistake.
A.ccases TellCl', Libb~'
Questioned on his disagreements with Drs. Teller and Libby, he accused Teller and Libbyof, making "dishonest, untrue,misleading statements" and stated that 90 to 95 percent of theAmerican scientific communitywas behind him.
He pointed out that he andDr. Libby don't disagree on thebasic facts, but that "Dr. Libbyalways talks about a small percentage increase (in radiation effects), whereas I talk about the10,000 or the 100,000 or the1,000,000 seriously defective children who will be born or the10,000 people who will die eachyear of leukemia or bone cancer."

IN REFLECTING on the conference, its greatest value stemmed from the opportunity tomeet with and learn from theacknowledged leaders in StudentGovernment in the westernstates. It was further stimulating to find that the interchangeof ideas and methods in the areaof student government was carried out of rthe formal discussionperiods into much of the informal discussion which was carriedon during most of the leisuretime while the convention wasin session.

On Wednesday evening theKeynote Speaker set the tone ofthe conference by his Sltatementthat for leaders to survive andprosper in our society, they muststubbornly maintain and rigorously apply a basic set of prin·ciples. One cannot lead, in thetrue sense of the word, withouta set of values on which to baseone's actions.

Stan is rarely funky. Ratherthan being down to earth, heseems to float just above thestand. He is the epitome of the"cool" musician, usually blowingas limp as a ragdoll. Relaxationis a primary element of his work.Everything just seems to oozeout of the horn of its own accord.
Getz has been highly copied.He is an important influence onmost "West Coast" reed men,who can rarely adequately reproduce his style. Quite likely, Stanhas been the second-most-influential sax man in jazz, the first,of course, being Charlie Parker.

Stan Getz is one of the mostimpol'tant and most influentialpersonalities in jazz, and anyserious or semi-serious jazz devotee should be familiar withhis work. This album is all Stan,the rhythm section being entirely supplementary. Some of thesides are a few years old, someare new, but the whole set servesas an excellent introduction toStan Gertz.
Stan's style is derived primarily from Lester Young, but it isnevertheless highly original.Stan's blowing is characterizedby a flowing, liquid sound. Thelines are both gentle and delicate, extended and streamlined,resulting in a flow of sound akinto a rushing river.

It was my feeling that Mr.Knight did not really understandthe statement preliminary to thequestion. There was a short attempt to switch the subject intothe' field of political implicationsof union power; this attempt wasresisted, however, and he finallycame out with the above answer.I was impressed with his faithin mankind, which gives himhope that responsible union leadership will appear in time to keepthe present situation from becoming disastrous. I only hopethis promised leadership appearsvery soon.
I conclude by saying that Mr.Knight left some doubts in mymind about his abiLity to actconstructively to correct ourpresent economic difficulties.

money in circulation is not backed by an equivalent amount ofgold, but what these actions ofthe thirties have to do with thepresent inflation is very hard tosee. I must also agree with Mr.Knight that prices have gone uprapidly since the war. The important point as far as determ·
. ining the cause of inflation iswhether prices pulled up thewages or whether the wagespushed up the prices. Mr. Knightconfessed that he had no idea,yet he was willing to make theunqualified statement that wagepushes were not the main causeof the inflation. This can onlyshow a complete lack of knowledge of the mechanics of thisinflation. Moreover, it demon·strated a lack of knowledge ofthe pattern which wages andprices have followed in the pa\;;tten years. It is not surprisingthat he was unable to eitherunderstand or give a satisfactoryanswer to the following question.
QUESTION: Much of our present economic difficulty seems tostem fr~m ithe power that theunions have to keep wages upand even to boost them. In atime such as this when demandis low, the normal action wouldbe to cut wages and lower prices, thus increasing demand andemployment. The present powerof the unions keep these naturallaws of supply and demand fromoperating. Do you see any possible legislation which mightreduce the power of the unionsor increase the power of industry so that these laws couldoperate?
ANSWER: Unions have grownvery rapidly and they now havepower which they don't knowhow to use properly. My hope isthat as time passes mature and

(Continued from page 4)lies in inadequate union leadership, it is perhaps possible toimprove the situation by informed labor legislation, which wouldguide the actions of unions inthe proper direction. Before itis possible to make informed legislation, however, it is necessaryto be informed.
QUESTION: I have been reading a statement by the Vice Presdent of Finance of the FordMotor Company, and he feelsthat the long run problem of thecountry is one of inflation. Doyou think that this is true?

QUESTION: Do you feel thatthe main cause of this inflationis the continuing rise in costsdue to wage rises caused byunion action?

The Caltech swim team, goingagainst unexpected odds. bowedto the Pomona tankers in theConference Swimming Championships. The two teams so dominated the whole meet that theyaccounted for 179 out of the totalof 240 points in the five teamcontest. The final score was: Pomona 97, Caltech 82, Whittier 24,Oxy 21, Redlands 16.
Pomona's butterflyer, Morse,qualified in 2:31.4, two and a halfseconds below Blandford's best.But Morse's competition camefrom an unexpected quarter.Gutsy Don Owings, who lookslike anything but a championship butterflyer, broke his besttime by two seconds in qualifying and then broke that time byanother five in the finals in themost stirring race of the year.
Owings Shines
Morse, who had been watchingBlandford throughout the race,exhibited a classic expression ofsurprise when he looked up onthe last turn to see Don a yardahead. Owings finally got touched out at the finish, but his timewas 5Y2 seconds under the schoolrecord in 2:30.7.
There were a few other highpoints for Caltech in the meet.The team's four divers finishedsecond, third, fourth, and fifthbehind Redland's untouchableTipton.
Rees Sets New RecordClarke Rees, swimming in
probably the last big race of hislife, set a new Conference recordin the 200 backstroke in 2:19.6,finishing half a pool length aheadof the second-place man. Owings,though tired from his fantasticeffort in the butterfly, set a record of 2:36.8 in the breast stroke.Keith Brown, knowing he wouldhave to place better in the finalsthan he did in the preliminaries,did just that, snaring two seconds.
Next year should see anthergood Tech team, with freshmenreplacing seniors Rees, Smoak,and Taylor. The split of Pomonaand Claremont should then leaveTech the strongest team in theleague.

team, much improved since theirearly season losses, managed tobeat out Oxy by one point forsecond place in the conferencefinals Saturday. This performance was surprising, remembering that earlier in the seasonCaltech had lost every singlemeet against these schools, although those at the end of theseason were lost by only a fewpoints.
Pete Mayer and Gary Tibbettsturned in eX'cellent performancesas was expected, but the surprising thing was the performanceof the rest of the team. The meetwas won by the whole team, notby just a few stars as is so oftenthe case.
Gary Tibbetts turned in veryfast times to take both the 220yard freestyle and 440 yard freestyle. Mayer won the 200 yardbreastroke and took third in' the200 yard butterfly. Oliver Seely,a recent addition to the team,took third in the 50 yard freestyle and, along with DickKrueger, won points for Tech indiving. Other frosh who qualified and won points for the teaminclude Mickey Lindner with afourth in the 220 freestyle, BobHeath with a sixth in the 220,John Erskine with a secondplace in the backstroke, RogerBland with a sixth in the backstroke, and 'Tom Tisch with afifth place in the 100 yard freestyle.
Caltech's tennis team pulleda big upset last week by defeating U. C. Rivers1de 6 to 3.
The Riverside nettel'S weresporting an impressive 15·4 rec·ord with wins over Oxy and Pomona, but the Techmen failedto be impressed. Frank Cormia,Bob Tokheim, Reed Warrinerand Carl Morris all won theirsingles matches while Dave Butterfield and Clint Frasier foundthe going tougher. The upsethopes were high going into thedoubles, and the team of Warriner and Butterfield cinched thevictory. Morris and Tokheimalso won with Frasier and Cormia dropping their match.
The final match of the seasonwill be with Redlands at CaltechMonday. Cormia is top seededin next week's Scott Tournamentwith Tokheim and Warriner thechief threats. The same three alsofigure to be Caltech's big gunsin the Conference matches, May16 and May 23-24.
