WASHINGTON—Secretary of
Labor Martin P. Durkin be-
—.Ueves that labor and manage-
,, ment should not look to the
^government to resolve their
|Jjdisputes. "Our goal in Ameri-
rjca," he said to me, "should be
<greater cooperation between la-
Jbor and management through
f'fee collective bargaining, with
government being used only as
an aid in mediation and con-
's ciliation when all else has fail-
led."
The new Secretary of Labor
has a hard-headed conception
of what is meant by the terms
"cooperation" and 'when all
*lse has failed." As a journey-
man pipe fitter, he came up
"^fough the ranks of union
tbor, and for 20 years served
s president of the United As-
sociation of Journeymen and
Apprentices of the Plumbing
and Pipe Fitting Industry. In
his union, "cooperation" meant
a willingness to go far beyond
the point at which so many
collective bargainin g efforts
stall and government interven-
tion seems to be the only, last
resort.
A "Labor Council"
Since it. seems to me to be
a plan that could be used in
almost any labor-management
situation, I asked Mr. Durkin
to explain the "extra" collec-
tive bargaining effort made in
the plumbing industry- "In
the beginning, we bargain with
employers as any other union
does," ho said. "When some
phase of tin: negotiation breaks
down and we hit what ssems
to be an immovable deadlock,
each side then prepares a
written statement of its con-
tentions and its arguments, and
the whole thing is given over
to our Labor Council. Its de-
cision is accepted as bind-
ing by both sides.
"The Labor Council is a
group of people, jointly ap-
pointed, who reside outside the
area of the dispute and can
weigh the contentions and ar-
guments dispassionately, neu-
trally, objectively. The .sig-
nificant thing is that often when
one side or the other is writ-
ing up its statement to be sub-
mitted to the Council, it finds
its own stand so vulnerable to
compromise that it decides to
relent—and thus an agreement
is reached without use of the
Council. This is significant be-
cause it shows that when both
sides make a truly serious effort
at give-and-take bargaining,
they, can usually get together.
There are exceptions, of course."
Understanding and Trust
The interview with Secretary
Durkin was another of the
series to acquaint the readers
of our column with the back-
ground and thinking of the key
people in the Eisenhower ad-
ministration. I told him of the
effort being made through the
Harding College Freedom For-
ums to bring about better labor-
management relations, and ask-
ed him in his opinion what
further we could do in this vi-
tally important objective. "Of
course," he said, "a constant
striving for mutual understand-
ing and trust is essential. Great
improvement is being made. As
a matter of fact, we seldom see

newspaper stories reporting on
harmonious labor - management
relations, yet thousands of in-
dustries, big and little, carry
>n collective bargaining year in
and year out without a hitch.
The conflicts are dramatized,
and yet they affect only a small
percentage of the total work
force."
Under his administration, the
Department of Labor will seek
to improve its research and
statistical facilities that serve
the public, labor and manage-
ment. It will be operated with-
in the basic social philosophy
which governs the Eisenhower
administration.
"The challenge to us in
America today," Secretary Dur-
kin contends, is to increase our
inventions; to stimulate scien-
tific progress, and to raise still
higher the standards cf physi-
cal well being. Likewise, too,
the challenge which faces
America today is t" maintain
and improve it? spiritual val-
ues. This is the path of hope
and of success. In the face of
our enemy, we must not look
backward at our shortcomings,
but we must look ahead to our
goals. Communism rose on
poverty of materials and pov-
erty of spirit. It is only com-
mon sense, therefore, to ex-
pand our production of wealth
and increase our befief in God."
Common sense is one of Mar-
tin Durkin's chief assets. An-
other is his faith. These have
been basic ingredients in the
building of America. As Secre-
tary of Labor, Mr. Durkin, at
59, has one of the most impor-
tant posts in our government.
His mature calmness, his per-
sonal inclination toward respect-
ing and trusting his fellow
man, and his profound faith in
the basic principles < f the
American way of life combine
to make for good leadership in
our nation's capital.

VETERANS SHOULD GET
ELIGIBILITY CERTIFICATE
BEFORE SEEKING LOAN
LUBBOCK, Texas, May 20 —
Veterans who plan to seek GI
loans from private lenders lor
homes, farms o r businesses
should apply to Veterans Ad-
ministration regional offices in
advance for certificates of eligi-
bility, Robert W. Sisson, mana-
ger of VA Regional Office in
Lubbock, announced recently.
This will reduce delays in pro-
cessing the loan applications
later, Sisson said, when the
veteran is anxiously awaiting
completion or is pressed for lime
to close the loan.
Certificates of eligibility are
proof for lenders that VA will
guarantee or insure a loan if
the veteran meets oilier usual
loan requirements.
In the past, veterans have
been advised to submit their
discharge or separation papers to
the lending institutions making
the loan. They, in turn, would
submit them to VA on behalf of
the veterans.
However, since the passage
of the Korean GI Mill, which
extends the 'loan guaranty bene-
fits of the World War II GI
Bill to veterans with service
since June 27, 1950, VA must
have information not orevio'usly
needed to establish eligibility.
Now. to pass on a veteran's
eligibility, VA must know
whether the veteran served in
World War II or since the start
of the Korean eon (Vict, or both;
what prior use of his loan
guaranty benefits, if any. has
been made; the status of any
prior GI loans, and whether
the veteran still owns real es-
tate purch ised with any such
loans.
Thus, by applying to the VA
Regional Office at Lubbock in
advance, veterans and lenders
may save considerable time in
processing the loan application.
Loan guaranty personnel at
the regional office can quickly
determine what will be re-
quired in order to pass on a
veteran's eligibility, Sisson said.
This will do away with need-
less correspondence and ex-
pedite issuing certificates.
Most World War II veterans
have until July 25, 1957 in
which to apply for GI loans un-
der the original GI Bill, but
veterans with service since June
27, 1950, the beginning of the
Korean conflict, have until 10
years from end of the current
emergency in which to apply.

SAYS HEALTH OFFICER
AUSTIN, Texas, May 19.—
There are detergents adver-
tised on today's market for
practically any e'eaning job—-
from cutting stubborn grease
on a mechanic's hands, to dis-
couraging fleas on the family
poodle.
They work, too, in many in-
stances, but State Health Offi-
cer Dr. George W. Cox has this
word of warning:
"Make sure you follow the
directions to the letter." Other-
wise, you could end up with a
discomforting case of "house-
wives eczema."

These so-called "soap less"
products have found wide J'avoi
with housewives for washing
clothes and dishes. No doubt a
Kood bit of their popularity is
due to high powered advertis-
ing, including the decorative
boxes featuring happy ladies
hanging out the washing or
putting up dishes which the
product has cleaned all by it-
self.
Doctor Cox identifies the ac-
tive ingredients of these pro-
ducts a.s chemical compounds
which act to lower surface ten-
sion of water, making it more
penetrating and able to get
through grease and dirt to
break it up and keep it from
resettling.
Many brands contain special
purpose ingredients, such -as
ammonium salt, wheh make tht
compound bac t er i ci da 1.
A duck is supposed to sinik
like a rock in water containing
some of these detergents, prob-
ably because the "wetter" water
gets through the oil in th«
duck's feathers—which is tha
reason a duck is ordinarily
water proof and able to float.
It stands to reason, Doctor
Cox points out, that if these
compounds will cut through
grease and film, and there ur
do doubt that some of them
will—they will also penetrate
the natural oils of the skin and
cause irritation and discomfort
if the condition is neglected.
The health officer's recom-
mendation? Keep some hand
lotion within easy reach and
apply it liberally after using
detergents for household clean-
ing or laundry.
