Head FOA
WASHINGTON - (ILNS) - Appointment of a union leader as head
of the Foreign Operations Administration's labor office was agreed to
by Harold S. Stassen, director of the
program. He also will consider a list
of names submitted by unions to fill
between 20 and 30 posts abroad. The
officials are to deal with Europe's
free trade unions and the problem of
productivity.
Stassen thus moved to heal a
breach which developed last year
when the AFL and CIO withdrew
from the agency's Public Advisory
Board in protest against dismissal of
labor men from FOA's staff and the
failure of Stassen to consult with
labor.
Recently, leaders of the AFL, CIO
and railroad unions were named to
a new FOA Labor Advisory Com-
mittee, and that body will submit to
Stassen a list of men qualified to head
the labor office. The present labor
office chief, Paul Ozer, is to remain
with FOA as a labor economist.
