Bernstein Explains Labor By Marilyn Coffey The ticklish and complex problem of labor-management relations ha. been making headlines not only nationally but locally within the last few weeks. A University law professor, Merton Bernstein, has been playing an active part in local labor legislation. Kennedy-Ires Bill On the national scene, the Kennedy-Ives bill, largely a product of hearings by the McClellan committee on abuses in the labor field, has been amended and re-amended by the Senate. On the local scene, the leg islature is dealing with a bill 2ir ..mnitn Knfnt n ! measure aimed at such abuses as Teamster boycotts ia the tracking industry. Meanwhile, a second bill, introduced by Gov. Ralph Brooks and drafted by Bern stein who was acting as the governor's representative, which falls under the juris was the subject of a lively diction of the federal govern- puDiic nearing. a was tuiea in committee. Senate Counsel Bernstein has long been Vol. 33, No. 100 W H Zipp Names Of Present "Space Age Renaissance of Engineering" was the topic of Harold Zipp's address to the E-Week Convocation at the Stuart Theater Friday. What is the future for en gineers? What do the com panies want in a graduating engineer? These were some of the questions which Zipp, assistant to the senior vice' president of Boeing Airplane Company in Seattle, an swered. Exploring Space In speaking of the space ager Zipp said that he would be surprised if he does not see someone exploring at least a part of space during his lifetime. The problem of finance Is the most difficult one which faces certain companies to day. The aircraft companies are caught in the middle of a technological revolution, and man must start a new think ing from abstract to concrete terms. Five Areas Zipp said that Boeing places its emphasis on five basic areas of research air dy namics, propulsion, structure and materials, electronic re search and equipment re search. There is an unlimited field for engineers opened np by the space age, he said. In this highly competitive type of work, the engineer's job is to wield the research of scientists into space ve hicles. Higher Degrees However, he said that a Bachelor of Science degree Hinshaw To Present Bach Work Harvey Hinshaw, assistant professor of piano at the Uni versity, will perform a musi cal masterpiece rarely pre sented in its entirety in two concrets today and Thursday. He will play the complete First Book of Bach's "Well Tempered Clavier". Preludes and Fuges No. 1 12 will be given today at 7:30 p.m. and No. 13-24 will be heard Thursday at the same time. Both performances will be presented in Morrill Hall, Gallery B. There is no admission charge for the concerts. The First Book contains 24 Preludes and Fugues which are generally played as in dividual selections and have been study material familiar to every pianist. Beethoven called it his "musical Bible". Hinshaw, a concert pianist, was accompanist for Igor Gorin and . John Charles Thomas before joining t h University faculty in 1956. . . . Law Professor Active in working in the field of labor and management. He was an attorney with the National La bor Relations Board and the U.S. .Department of Labor, and served as a counsel to various Senate subcommittees dealing with labor-management problems. "It frequently Is the case that what sounds tough Is in effective and what sounds not so tough may do the job," Bernstein told the Daily Ne braskan. LB 560, the state's anti secondary boycott measure was aimed "mostly at Team ster cases" but had the mea sure been enacted into law before the Teamster cases came to light, Nebraska still would nave been con stitutionally powerless" to deal with them, the law pro fessor said. Federal Jurisdiction Why? These cases all affect ed interstate commerce. ment LB 5G0 would deal only with those businesnes that did not affect interstate commerce, er Ends eek Problems Space Age only opens the door to the field. A higher degree is needed for a person to really make advancement. Some of the qualities which Zipp lists which a company considers In hiring an eng.. neer are intelligence, employ ment stability, self-expres sion, ability to recognize a problem and sense of propor tion. Others he named were mor al integrity, good human re lations emotional control un der pressure, energy and en thusiasm toward job and de cisiveness. E-Weeks Not Always So Quiet Harold Zipp, E-Week con vocation speaker, told stu dents Friday of some opposi tion which he encountered when he was chairman of E-Week at the University. As part of the displays, the engineers constructed a 15 foot dirigible which was placed on top of a telephone pole at the corner of 12th and R streets. After some law students had tried to tear down the dis play, the engineers placed a guard on the dirigible and had a signal of three whistles from the steam plant in case of trouble. Despite all the precautions, the law students succeeded in burning down the dirigible with the Fire Department getting into the act before the fun had ended. v - Faculty Show Still at Morrill The annual exhibition of works of the art faculty is being presented at the Mor rill Hall Galleries through May 10. A special showing of works by Jeanne Richards, instruc tor in art, is included in the exhibition. Gallery hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday and 8 to 10 a.m. Tuesday and Thursday. The Galleries are open 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday. Prep Journalists Receive Keys Outstanding Nebraska high school journalists were hon ored here at a Saturday luncheon, part of a day-long "careers conference" spon sored by the School of Jour nalism. Fifteen silver keys and 30 honorable mention certificates were awarded by the Lincoln Journal and Lincoln Star to winners in five classes cf com petition in three size divisions. I only fhe smaller businesses within the state. The bill drawn by Bern stein, supported by Gov. Brooks and killed in commit tee was a "Labor-Management Fair Relations Code." It would affect only those areas not already covered by federal legislation. Unfair Practices' The major features of the iill were a definition of em ployer and union "unfair la bor practices," a provision for secret representation elec tions and a guarantee of the right of employees to join or refuse to join a union. Bernstein said he felt the bill was killed because "or ganized industry in the state was against it." A code such as was pre sented by Bernstein needs the agreement of botii labor and business to be workable, he said. "The basic problem of ac cepting unions is fully set tledon the national scale," Bernstein commented. Very DistasefuT "This is not the case in Nebraska," he continued. "A law such as this apparently is The Daily Nebraskan With Kinnier Is Outstanding Senior; EE Dept. Tops Competition John Kinnier was given the O. J.

Hassles Local Legislation still very distasteful to a large segment of business." One of the difficulties in the labor-management field is that both sides tend to think in terms of combat, Bernstein said. "It is the function of gov ernment to be impartial, to remove the weapons and pro mote a peaceful relationship' he added. Commenting on the national labor scene, Bernstein, said that the Kenned-Ives bill goes a long way towards elim inating the problem of union corruption. It will tend to eliminate "double dealing" or "sweetheart contracts" be tween employers and union officials. Ns Pre-Control It fails to establish pre-con-trol over shakedowns, but this is one of the hardest thinr to reach legally, the! professor said. Adding that he hoped the Kennedy bill was enacted into law, he commented, "anyone who says a law can cure things is either a charleton or a fool. "We can only hope it will improve conditions." were also sales winners. The window display award went to the engineering-mechanics department.
