Editorial—
Legal Public Strikes
THE ATTITUDE of
great deal, and largely
public servants has changed a
for the worse In our opinion,
since Calvin Coolidge broke a police strike in Boston with
this comment: “There is no right to strike against the
public safety by anybody, anywhere, anytime."
In recent years Americans have witnessed strikes
against the public safety by virtually every type of gov-
ernment employe — from garbage collectors (health
safety) to firemen (property safety). And now Pennsyl-
vania has gone so far as to legislate the right of doctors
and nurses to strike, the first state to do so. Authorities
expect hospital patient costs to rise $30 a day by 1971
as a consequence.
There are two restrictions in the Pennsylvania law:
Policemen, firemen and prison guards must not strike.
And no work stoppage must threaten the public’s “health,
welfare or safety.”
As a practical matter, any public strike must involve
a danger to one of the three; therefore, if the law were
constructed strictly by the courts, no strike involving
government employes would be permissible.
It Is wishful thinking on the part of some propo-
nents that the Pennsylvania law somehow will reduce
the likelihood of strikes against the public. If public ser-.
vants have struck before, in violation of the law, why j
would they not strike oftener when the law gives them j
this right?
Although Pennsylvania’s Gov. Raymond P. Shafer!
signed the enabling legislation, he added, “I personally
do net take this step without misgivings and strong res-
ervations. My personal philosophy is that public em-
ployee have the highest duties to their fellow citizens
and that a condition of their employment should be a
waiver of the right to strike because the health and
seftriy of the public should never be an issue at the bar-
gaining table." precisely.
"Srreaponstble use of this new law,” Shafer contin-
ues, "could ham, even jeopardise the lives of millions
VIEWPOINT
CBNT1IAUEATION — THE
FATAL MISTAKE
There’s got to be a touch of
Pollyanna in a fellow who goes
fishing. Fish jump tauntingly a-
round yonder stump but reject
all manner of lure and bait.
It may indeed be irrepressible
optimism. Then again, it could
be that catching fish is only
secondary to the satisfaction of
sharing boat and bait, and a
shimmering lake, with one’s
favorite 16-year-old — a boy be.
coming a man; a human ex-
plosion of energy and enthusi-
asm; a sunburned symbol of
yesterday, today and tomorrow.
It is, somehow, a moment of
truth, and certaihly It is a time
for perspective. Things begin to
fall into place, and the ad-
monitions and the wise counsel
of the past once again emerge
j to draw a clear line between
, man’s dreams and his agoni-
i es.
It becomes obvious, then, that
the travail of the country is not
a conglomeration of separate
and unrelated frustrations. It
is rather like a chain, its links
forged together — crime, infla-
tion, the deterioration of moral
standards, the hostility between
races, high taxes, laziness, idle,
ness, arrogance, the use of
drugs.
They all go together, a foul
porridge made for toe weak-
nesses of man. There was a
day when America was des-
tined tor better than this. The
world listened with admiration
and respect when this young
republic declared confidently
that the history of tyranny had
run its course, that henceforth
freedom would flourish.
But then Americans began to
compromise. There came a
breed of politician determined

The merchants are already lieking their chops over

out work, without effort. Phony
intellectuals began to disparage

cuIot. There was an increasing-
ly shrill demand for toe cen-

So we got what we asked tor

mitted scheming politicians toj it were a separate and distinct

More recently than that, the
suggestion that toe federal gov-

our schools was rejected as un-
thinkable. But the waves of fe-

dered relentlessly. Today toe
private citizen can no longer
run his business, or his schools,
without the tug of tyranny at

We are being required to fi-

That is toe fatal mistake

— and to steer clear of being
ruled by a far-away and un-
reachable power.
It was the lure of something-
for-nothing that did America
in. We were looking for toe
easy way out, toe fast buck.
We believed — we really did!
—■ that there was such a thing
as “federal aid” and "free mo-
ney” from Washington. So we
elected the men who promised
the most.
The monster of federal con-
trol is, therefore, our own crea-
tion, grown fat upon our liber-
ties which it was allowed to
devour. Is It possible that the
monster can ever again be
brought under the control of
toe people? That depends. It
will depend upon how much
how many are willing to sac-
rifice.
The first step, however, must
be that enough Americans look
at the total picture, so that they
can understand what has hap-
pened and why. If they prove
unwilling to make the effort,
then America will join a long
list of other nations that once

JOAN CRAWFORD’S daughter. Christina, will be seen in »
guest role this season in CBS’ .‘‘Medical Center.” The acting

seems to be having an absolute ball. I wanted to be a part of It"

WITH EACH NEW theater season, we all hope for a crop af
long-running hits. Although most of the offerings fall for short
of this mark. Inevitably, theater goers turn to a select few plays
that have established themselves es standard hits, surviving year
after year.
One show that’s leading just such a charmed life In the musical
revue, “Jacques Brel Is Alive And Living in Paris," now in its
third year. The cast’s four singers are frequently changed with-
out any harm to the quality of the revue because one really goes
to hear the music of the Belgian composer, Brel.
Located in the Village Gate Theater, “Jacques Brel" still man-
ages to fill the seats. Many of those in the audience are there
for the third or fourth time. While the show’s album might seem
to suffice, a firsthand viewing gives the added visual dimension
and conveys the presence of Brel, even though the revue's title
tells , us he’s in Paris.
If you’ve been down to the Village Gate, you know tor your-
self. If not, it's still not too late. People will assume you're gotog
for a repeat performance. It’s well worth u.
flourished only to wither and
fade away because their citi-
zens didn’t care enough to do
enough. In which case, Ameri-
ca is in the process of writing
her own epitaph — and it will
be a sad and shameful one.
