Speaker. just as some of the illadvised acts of lawlessness by groups which claim to be in favor of civil rights are actually hurting the civil rights cause. so some of the activities of unofficial groups are harming the efforts of the labor unions in securing their legitimate objectives. I refer to acts of violence where private property is destroyed as a result of a labor dispute. Recently I received a letter froni a constituent who is a political refugee from Communist East Germany which impressed me a great deal. Thinking that it might be interesting to my colleagues. I am inserting pertinent portions of the letter into the record without the signature of the individual. I shall also include the newspaper article which was the inspiration for my constituents letter: DEAR MR. GuBsER: I am a political refugee having fled 1949 from East Germany. While I was living there I was coowner of a business. employing eight persons. Every payday I had to obtain the signature of the Communist labor union representative to release a portion of my own money from the bank. in order to pay wages.
