Nixon befouls his private conver-

boys” in the Securities and Ex-

fits in with his character. It was
Nixon who revived the bussing

He is an out-and-out racist.”

Police-State Crimes

Wheeler writes that the votes
of 23-state legislatures and the
U.S. Senate to re-enact the death
penalty indicates “that the law-
makers are prepared to ram
through Nixon’s ‘law and order’
program even as they mouth

pest’s most prestigious printing
house. The manager ordered
overtime in excess of the limit
stipulated in the collective
agreement. Moreover, the meas-
ure concerned a number of ma-
chine operators and semi-skilled
workers who work in the pho-
togravure section under con i-
tions detrimental to the health.

Nixon - Watergate plot.” Frank ~

‘Wilkinson, executive director of
the National Committee Against
Repressive Legislation is quoted
as telling the NCARL’s annual
meeting on May 4-5 that, “The
House might well impeach the
man while at the same time the
Senate is voting through the
program that Nixon wanted.”

That meeting also heard
charges that a return to capital
punishment is the ‘main weapon
of terrorism throughout the
South, especially against Black
people ... and that the effort to
meet Supreme Court objections
by making the death penalty
mandatory for certain specific
crimes is a smokescreen. Nixon’s
law and order bill S-1400 stipul-
ates that “treason, sabotage and

espionage” are punishable by’

death. “Our memory of the Ro-
senbergs should be _ strong
enough so that we will not forget

- that innocent people can be
framed in an atmosphere.of poli-
tical terror and. executed,” said
one speaker.

The Daily World editorially
attacks the security used in the
Nixon investigation and calls
for a full and complete uncover-
ing of all crimes committed by
Nixon. “The impeachment of
Nixon must not become a wrist-
slapping affair,” they write,
“which, even if it ends in the
conviction of Nixon, leaves demo-
cracy at the mercy of another
U.S. fuehrer.” The editors quote
U.S. Communist leader Gus Hall
who, speaking at a New York
May Day meeting, demanded the
release of the tapes that record
the real high crimes of Nixon

and monopoly capital.

In spite of the installation of
highly effective air exhaust and
ventilation. systems, photogra-
vure press operators may not
work more than six hours a day
and longer breaks must be pro-
vided between shifts to allow
the workers to spend time in the

Referring to the vice-president, this sign is carried on an Edsel

Hall charged that the tapes
would reveal crimes such as dis-
cussions that plotted contingen-
cy plans for a possible military
takeover of government; a cons-
piracy to freeze wages while
permitting monopolies.to gouge
the public; meetings which re-
sulted in cutting off funds to the
unemployed, funds for education
and housing, funds for medical
research and environmental pro-
tection.

The editorial concludes: ‘With
each passing day, as more facts
come to light, more people feel
that President Richard M. Nixon

‘should be impeached and con-

victed of high crimes and mis-
demeanors.

“There are forces of the Right
which seek to exploit the grow-
ing demand for impeachment to
further their struggle against de-
tente and world peace. That is
their coverup for their alliance

‘ups and as a result of all these

precautions, there has not been

The union steward protested
to the manager against the over-
time. The manager referred to
important orders which had to
be met and the lack of capacity
and gave priority to fulfilling the
plant’s obligations. The steward
pointed to provisions of the col-
lective agreement and the health
protection regulations in protec-
ting the workers’ immediate in-
terests. They were unable to
reach agreement on the disput-
ed questions and the manager
gave orders to start the over-
time work.

The union steward had no
alternative but to call a meet-
ing of the plant’s trade ‘union
committee. The meeting adopt-
ed the decision to exercise its
legal rights and impose a veto
on the manager’s measure. As a
result, overtime work was im-
mediately suspended. (Under the
law, measures which have been
vetoed in this manner cannot be
implemented until - the higher
state and trade union organiza-
tions reach agreement on the
matter under dispute.) The
Council of the Printing, Paper
and Press Workers’ Union then
instructed the union’s general
secretary. to begin negotiations
with the deputy minister for
light industry who exercises
state supervision over the shop
concerned. In: the end, the min-
istry was forced to accept the

with the military-industrial com-
plex and their crimes against the
people. They deserve to be im-
peached together with Nixon in
the highest court of the land—
the court of public opinion.”

As if to bear out this warning
of a right-wing assault on de-
tente, Nixon’s special deputy as-
sistant Bruce Hershenson, who
was the keynote speaker at the
7th annual conference of the
World Anti-Communism League
in Washington last month,
launched a furious attack on the
news media which his boss has
less reason to like.

The. World Anti-Communist
League includes riff-raff such as
Yaroslav Stetsko, former “‘pre-
mier” of the Ukraine under nazi
occupation, several Croatian fas-
cists who worked with the nazis
in Yugoslavia and members of
Alpha 66, Cuban deserters in
Florida.

trade union’s position. The print-
ing house was granted preferen-
tial funds, enabling it to meet
both its delivery obligations and
the trade union demands, with-
out the disputed overtime work.

Similar cases occur in widely
differing branches of industry
and institutions. In the hospital
in a rural town, for example, the

funds used for staff wages were

less than had been planned.
These savings from the wage
fund can be used by the direc-
tor of the institute as bonuses.
However, in this case the great-
er part of the sum was trans-
ferred from the wage fund to
the development fund and it was
intended to-use the money to
purchase hospital equipment.

The hospital trade union com-
mittee imposed a veto on this
measure which would have de-
prived workers of part of a sum
set aside for them in.the budget.
Here too, the higher authorities
approved the veto.

The manager of the Budapest
Taxi company planned to intro-
duce a new work schedule which
would have increased the com-

pany’s profits but would also .

have imposed a greater strain
on the drivers. Since talks be-
tween the trade union and the
company’s representatives failed
to produce an agreement, the taxi
drivers’ trade union committee
imposed a veto on the manag-
er’s measure and prevented the
introduction of the unfavorable
work schedule.
