Then he turned to read off a statement by that oft-bloodied but unbowed anti-unionist, Steelman Ernest Weir (in the St. Louis Post Dispatch): "Western nations should proceed on the premise that Russia now wants peace and more stable international relations," Meany snorted. "In my opinion," he said, "Mr. Weir would be serving America better if he renounced his attitude of suspicion and distrust of collective bargaining in our own country before he showered his trust on Khrushchev and his comrades behind the Iron Curtain." Somewhat to Meany's surprise-and probably to theirs too-applause broke from...

Trade Unionist Theodor Blank, 49, since 1950 head of a shadow defense ministry called "Bureau Blank," which is set up in a dingy brick building in a Bonn back street. In 1933, Union Organizer Blank chose unemployment rather than the Nazi Arbeitsfront. When war came he joined the Wehrmacht as a private...
