why have labor leaders been so eager to do the dirty work of intelligence agencies
-
The vision of mainstream labor bosses, especially since the expulsion the left unions from the CIO in 1949, has been to build a global business unionism loyal to the interests of (American) business and to commands from AFL-CIO Central. In so doing, they have frequently choreographed "labor unrest" among such unwanted figures as Salvador Allende of Chile; fingered local activists to be isolated, beaten, or even assassinated; taken part in arranging the success of pro-business candidates against populists, or overturning elections with undesirable results; and generally coordinated activities with the CIA field offices, sometimes from the same building.

about the desertion from the Navy by a young man, Harry Taggart (a pseudonym), for over 2 1/2 years, in this country & in Canada. The F.B.I. never caught up with him; he turned himself in finally. Unlike expatriate deserters, AWOLS cannot reveal who they are without facing instant arrest. He deserted in May, 1969, from the San Diego Naval Station, & is currently awaiting his court-martial at the U.S. Naval Station in Brooklyn. He surrendered early in 1972, in Syracuse. Tells about the jobs he held, his initial reasons for deserting & how he became politicized against the war, the people he met in such places as Syracuse, Montreal Toronto, Philadelphia, New England, etc.

An article about the rape and murder of a Vietnamese girl by four American soldiers. Five men were sent on a reconnassaince detail. The leader was Tony Meserve, a 20-year old man from a town upstate N.Y. He was the platoon's youngest soldier, he had fought in Bietnam for a year and had been decorated several times; he was due to go back to the U.S. in a month. After the briefing he told the men they would have a good time on the mission, because he was going to see to it that they found themselves a girl and take her along "for the morale of the squad." For five days, he said, they would avail themselves of her body, finally disposing of it, to keep the girl to keep the girl from ever accusing them of abudction and rape -both *(This & all other names in account were changed.) listed as capital crimes in the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Tells how he carried out the plan; the rape and the murder of the girl. A fifth man in the platoon, Sven Eriksson, who did not take part in the grisly event, recounts the details. The article tells about how he eventually was able to bring the case to court; Eriksson's testimony against the members of the platoon; their convictions and appeals. Tells about the trials. Meserves received a sentence of eight years. These varying decisions were attributable to a variety of factors, among them considerations of the defendants' character and background. Meserves had gone through the ninth grade, had no police record, was a lapsed Roman Catholic ... he came from an impoverished home and his father had deserted the family.
