WASHINGTON (IP)—The broad
powers that Democratic Leader
Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas
wields in the Senate came under
a sharp, surprise attack from Sen.
William Proxmire (D-Wis.) Mon
day.
In turn, Proxmire was accused
by Sen. Richard Neuberger (D-
Ore,) of biting the hand—John
son's—that helped him get elect
ed to a six-year Senate term last
November.
While a scattering of Republi
cans sat back with smiles on their
faces, Proxmire se d t off a Demo
cratic family fight by telling his
colleagues that they had surren
dered to Johnson their right to
decide what legislation will be
acted upon.
"The typical Democratic sena
tor has literally nothing to do
with dete:mining the legislative
program and policies of this party
in the Senate," Proxmire com
plained.
The senator, a member of the
liberal bloc, called for party cau
cuses to "exercise direction and
control over the majority lead
ers."

how the merged labor federation's affairs
gathered
to try smoothing over a hot
argument which broke out Feb.
17, when Meany, the AFL-ClO's
president, arrived for the coun
cil's winter meeting and feuded
with Reuther on holding the eco
nomic policy committee meeting
without him.

One AFL-CIO council member
termed Monday night's meeting
a "war or peace" session, with
the former CIO forces headed by
Reuther aimed at forcing a show
down with Meany, who was head
of the old AFL. Reuther is presi
dent of the United Auto Workers.
The former CIO group claimed
Meany was too high-handed in
shaping the policies of the merged
federation. In effect, they charged
him with dictating AFL-CIO pol
icies.
Some union leaders said the
outcome of the Meany-Reuther
feud could lead to a blowup of
the four-year-old merged labor
movement.
Earlier the leaders of the AFL
CIO joined in asking Congress to
legislate a sharp cut in the
American work week at once.
They said the shorter week was
necessary to provide jobs for mil
lions of workers idled by increas
ingly efficient machines.
