The creation of a new cabinet-level
department on urban affairs and hous-
ing will bring with it new demands
for money and a new bureaucracy.
All of this will jack up the federal
budget and exert inflationary pres-
sures on the economy. The period of
relative stability will end abruptly. Al-
ready other factors in the economy
are pushing the cost of living up. If
the labor chiefs have their way in cur-
rent negotiations, the administration's
guidelines for maintaining wage-price
stability will become a dead letter.

The chances are that for every
dollar saved by further paring down
of military strength, ten will be spent
on welfare programs
This will be spelled out in the se-
ries of messages to come from the
White House for the delectation of
House and Senate.
THE ENTIRE BILL will not be
known until the last government
check is signed on June 30. 1966,
the day on which the upcoming fis-
cal year ends. I note this date because
passage of a budget does not put a lid
on spending. There are always sup-
plemental appropriations as the exec-
utive branch runs out of money. New
crises also breed new runs on the
treasury.

gram and by holding back on the de-

Random Reflections
Various and sundry thoughts from an editorialist s
typewriter: .
The Supreme Cour, which last month added a
new power instrument to unionized labor's tool box,
is now determining whether to provide still another
implement to chip away at management's right to
manage.
y in mid-December, the high court-decided the law
requires an employer to bargain with a union befor
discontinuing a part of its business and contracting
the work to an independent firm
The Fibreboard Paper Products Co. plant in Em-
eryville, Calif., found it was more economical to
engage a private firm to handle plant maintenance
than to do the work itself Although no union
issue was involved, the steelworkers union objected.
The court decided this was a condition of unemploy-
ment and management was obligated to discuss it
with the union
A similar management 'rights case is awaiting a
court ruling. It involves the Darlington Co. of
South Carolina which closed its doors after the Tex-
tile Workers union won an election'256 to 248. The
firm had been losing money and decided that a un-
ionized plant would increase costs still further.
The NLRB held the company did not have a right
to cease business and that other corporations own
ed in part by key Darlington must provide hack pay
and hire Darlington employes
And what makes these decisions even more dis-
heartening to those who cherish the American con-
cept of individual freedom is the fact that there is
absolutely no reason to believe this anti-business
attitude of Washington and the Supreme Court will
do anything but get worse.
