Plumbers Pull Out Os Reuther Group WASHINGTON (UPD — The Plumber's Union today pulled out of the AFL-CIO Industrial Union Department HUD) with a sharp rebuke to Autoworkers' President Walter- Reuther, who heads the organization. The move reflected growing tension within the federation among the heads of rival craft and industrial unions. Primarily, however, it resulted from a personal clash between Plumbers' President Peter T. Schoe-mann and Reuther at a winter meeting of the AFL-CIO high command at Miami Beach, Fla., last month. Schoemann claimed then he was virtually thrown out of a meeting of the department’s executive committee at Reuther’s request. The UAW chief denied this and said Schoemann was asked to leave ohly after the meeting 'Vas over .so a cauciis could be held on another matterIn notifying IUD SecretaryTreasurer James B. Carey of the Plumbers’ decision. Schoemann who was a vice president of the IUD, wrote: "We have arrived at this decision very reluctantly, but we honestly believe that we can no longer retain this affiliation if at any time we are excluded from exercising our proper voice and consultation in the department s The department Is composed of the industrial membership of 65 AFL-CIO unions. It claims more than 7 million members, most of them from former CIO unions in the mass production industries. It is the biggest subordinate group within the federation. The Plumbers and Pipefitters Union will remain inside the parent AFL-CIO.

Their progress was hampered by mud as a warm sun bathed the scene and temperatures climbed above freexing. In Indianapolis, the office of Gov. Harold W Handley announced he would go to Tell City Wednesday to represent Indiana at memorial services tor the dead. X Firemen stood by at the crash scene ready to pump water into the pit in case of another explosion. Investigators said the deepci they dig. the warmer the earth is. and clay in the hole has hardened to the consistency of brick Neuman said intense heat has made ii seem unlikely that bodies will be found. Representatives of four religions will participate in the memorial service. They include a Shinto priest from Chicago; Rabbi Martin Rybach of Evansville, the Rev.

Rickover Mid. Rtokovar made what he refvrred to aa a "major address assessing the contest between the United State* and Russia. •* he responded to the awarding of the flrat annual Wendell L. Wilikic award tor leadership of public issue* a Education First Defense He said this country la not doing well in it* contest with Russia He said education “la now our first line of defense and wc neglect it at our peril." He said we must “view the contest as essentially one between opposite systems of management for modern industrial societies’* rather than a contest of good versus evil, freedom versus unfreedom, or civilization versus barbarism. Rickover warned that the nation needs "first-rate men in all important government positions — elective or appointive" because "resolution action will not be taken unless we * have resolute and capable leaders. “The task is too complex and difficult for average people,” he said, “whether It be at the local, state or federal level. Yet many of us cannot resist the temptation to choose men who flatter us by their insistence that they are just as ordinary as are we the voters. “Surely it is a curious perversion of the democratic ideal to consider average people good enough to run democratic nations." Rickover criticized the practice of deciding political patronage on a basis of commercial administrative ability "and generosity in contributing campaign funds to the winning party."
Favors Committee Heads "We are the only major nation equating ability to manage .a toy factory or public relations firm with ability to administer public afairs on the highest level,” he said, and suggested congressional committee chairmen for "top . Appointive posts where their special experience and knowledge is needed.” Rickover said Americans must not be lulled into a false sense of security because ot faith that evil will lose the corntest. He said ,a. "sense of right is indeed a source of great strength” but it will not decide a contest “if there is too Urge a disparity between the contestants.” Rickover said some Russian achievements are “not specifically communistic or undemocratic —simply efficient," and he said it is "realistic —not disloyal” to recognize that sometimes the Russians devise a better method than we. “If Russian methods in particular instances produce better results, we would do well to adopt them to our purposes. Presently they are doing better than we in educating large masses of their children.. .The Russians do not hesitate to adopt Western ideas and procedures when these fit into their plans.” Insecurity to Blame > Rickover said Americans can hope that Russia’s desire for world conquest “may in time SNbate.** • - “But I see no real evidence of this today,” he said Rickover said one reason for Russian leaders’ hatred of fteedom may be “a sense of personal insecurity” “A$ long as free countires exist anywhere, the longing for liberty cannot be wholly torn out of the hearts of the Russians,” he said. “Yet, given their overwhelming power, personal fear seems irrational. It may be that hatred of free nations springs not from personal fear but from realization a subject people—though it may not revolt—can yet interfere with government programs by dragging its feet.” Rickover said “the cards are stacked” against “a self-indulgent people, more concerned with per-

He said democracies often err through inaction but “the really great historical mistakes have been made by authoritarian governments." "One wonders.' he said, "whether the biggest blunder of the century might not turn out to have been Russia’s decision to raise the Frankenstein of Soviet China; those who made the decision may yet live to see hundreds of millions of hungry Chinese, armed with the technological know-how Russia so generously’ disburses in China, breaking into the empty spaces of Siberia.” Rickover said America’s choice in decisions affecting its international status is “not between parity, or superiority on the one hand and second, place on the other. It is between parity as a minimum and certain loss of independence. “We are grievously in error if we equate national power with production and consumption of private goods.
