KOHLER CO., strike-bound for past 2½. years, has won round in its battle with Walter Reuther's U.A.W. N.L.R.B. examiner threw out unfair-labor-practice charges against Wisconsin plumbing-equipment maker because three U.A.W. trustees failed to sign non-Communist affidavits. However, full N.L.R.B. must still rule on case...
...defeat a Democratic ticket next month that is: 1) headed by Michigan's popular four-term Governor G. Mennen Williams, millionaire heir to a soap fortune; 2) seconded by Lieut.

Whip-smart Walter Reuther, the United Auto Workers' leader whose political prestige was placed on the November line by his effective convention support of a Stevenson-Kefauver ticket, launched into a 20-minute argument for an all-out Democratic endorsement. Labor, said Reuther, must protect its bargaining-table gains in the political arena. "We did not choose the battlefield," he cried. "Our enemies have gone there, and that is where labor must go to protect itself...
