...splendid report in TIME, June 30 on the doings of Bernie Goldfine. It always pleases men like myself-whose income is slightly less than Bernie's 90-proof expenditures of last year-when such shaggy dogs are at least brought up for a lecture or two. Too bad Judge Wyzanski can't slap him in the jug with as much ease as my C.O. might be able to under the Uniform Code of Military Justice...

Reason: they object to half a dozen minor Taft-Hartley revisions, e.g., requiring employers to report to the Labor Department all financial dealings with labor unions or labor officials. As for reforming unions, the bill is only "half a loaf," argues the N.A.M., apparently forgetting what half a loaf is proverbially better than...
