Inside Conflicts Hit AFL-CI0 I MIAMI BEACH. Fla. UPI — Conflict inside the AFL-CIO today appears to have diminished to the lowest point since the rival labor federations agreed to merge 10 years ago this month. AFL-CIO President George Meany was clearly in full control of the 12.5 million-member organization with W alter P. Reuther. former CIO leader, playing a secondary role. Both men appeared to be on good terms during meetings of the AFL-CIO executive council, which resumes its winter meeting today after a two-day recess. and Reuther seems to be less inclined to criticize Meany s leadership than in previous years. Meany was cheered by the settlement of a long-standing dispute over picketing legislation that was solved last week by Reuther's agreement with his former pet targets, leaders of the powerful building trades unions. The AFL-CIO chief also was encouraged by the truce between sharply antagonistic factions in the New Jersey labor movement that will re-unite former AFL and former CIO unions in a single organization. He boasted of greater success on the political front — still tasting the fruits of the Democratic sweep last November — and said long battles for legislation appear close to success. ; Only in organizing additional | workers has the AFL-CIO merger— made possible by an agreement worked out In Mi- j ami Beach in February. 1955 — been a major disappointment to ! labor leaders. The AFL-CIO has not played a major part in national organizing drives — as Reuther and the old CIO unionists have advocated. Instead, funds and manpower have been concentrated In areas such as Los Angeles and Baltimore to aid affiliated unions enlist new tnenabers.

MARCH OF EVENTS

t B J's SENATE AIDE RILED OVER HOSPITALS

SILVER DOLLAR RENEGE ANOTHER SORE POINT

Sen. Mantflald Majority leader

angered

By HENRY CATHCART

Central Press Washingtoti Writer YCTASHINGTON—Just as President Johnson has tended to W trade on his long relations with some congressional leaders, so have they misgauged his understanding of their local

and state political problems.

It was quite a sight to witness a recent uprising in the Senate where Lyndon Johnson’s No. 1 lieutenant in that body, Sen. Mike Mansfield of Montana, was joined by Republican Leader Sen. Everett M. Dirksen in denouncing the administration’s attempt to

close some veterans hospitals.

Another development that angered the normally mild Mansfield was the Treasury's effort to renege on minting some new silver dollars, a project that western senators jammed through the last session of Congress with the tacit approval of the administration. In recent Senate history, not all majority leaders have unfailingly supported all White House positions, but it is always of major interest when the two part company. In the above instances, the very sharpness of the break has Johnson supporters somewhat con-

cerned.

The greatest opportunity for a healing of this wound lies with Mansfield rather than with Johnson or his aides. Mansfield is noted as a calm, phifcsophical fellow. Once he's made his point of independence from White House domination with his own Montana constituency, he can be expected to let bygones be bygones. The question is: Will President Johnson? * • * * • CLOSE CONNECTION—Jack Valenti, one of President Johnsons White House aides, seems always to be near the President. But the cloesness of the connection w’asn’t realized by many until the following incident circulated in Washington. An official phoned Valenti at the White House and as the voice that answered was unfamiliar, the caller asked, “Who is this?” ‘•Lyndon Johnson,” came the reply. The flustered official apologized, saying: "Excuse me, Mr. President. I didn’t mean to bother you. I was just calling Jack Valenti." “Oh, that’s all right,” the President replied. ‘T often take Valenti’s calls when he’s busy.” • • • • • A “LOST” LETTER—The Reserve Officers Association is fighting vigorously against the Johnson administration plan to merge the Army Reserve into the National Guard. In waging the fight, they’re reaching for any and all arguments that may be persuasive. Some of the leaders of this group believe that the late President Kennedy was presented a similar proposal and that he opposed it They believe that he voiced his opposition in a letter to the then Gov. Mike DiSalle of Ohio. According to individuals who recall the letter. Was JFK Kennedy declared that such a proposal would strike at the very heart of federal-state relation- opp ®“ ships. To Move? However, thus far no one has been able to locate a copy of it There’s a good chance, though, that if DiSalle’s files don't turn it up, it will eventually come to light in the Kennedy papers.

Mental Illness Is Increasing | WASHINGTON UPI —More patients w’ere admitted to public mental hospitals last year than any year in history. But the average length of time they stayed was much less, according to the U. S. Public Health , Service. The service reported during the weekend that more than 300.000 admissions were recorded in 1964. The shorter stays were reflected in the fact that : the number of patients resident ! in the hospitals on any one day dropped below 500.000 for the first time in 15 years.
