Now we have president Reagan assail ing Kha deify is a Flaky barbarian imposing stringent economic sanctions against Libya. But refusing to order military attacks against Libya.

What looks to me like a Paris Washington keeper was employed recent 1 to influence american support for fund ing of the 40-year fight in Paris to prevent takeover of All of Europe s labor movement by communists. A left Wing daily in Paris named liberation bidding for the circulation of the More sober sided be Monde splashed a piece originating in a tax exempt foundation in Washington supported by Greenpeace Playboy and the Gannett foundation among others. The Story was about secret funding of anti communist labor unions in France by our National endowment for democracy. That is the outfit set up two years ago by the Reagan administration to Channel Money to those political parties and unions struggling to protect free elections and democratic values abroad. Not much fuss was raised in France bul in washing Ion some congressmen professed to be shocked at the revelation that the Ned was doing its Job. As a new York times article pointed out the liberation Story came at a Pivotal Lime for the endow ment just before a Senate Home committee was to decide its 1986 appropriation. One year ago a similar Story happened o break just before the House voted causing Panicky representatives to Cut All funds for the anti communist Campaign which were later restored in n House Senate conference. A pattern of leftist keep ers to choke off Aid to help free labor unions protect democracy is emerging. To undermine the endowment the aroused demo cratic congressmen demanded to know Why any Money was going into a country like France which is a functioning democracy Why did t we limit Aid Only to democratic institutions in the third world were we trying to destabilize the socialist government of fran Cois Mitterrand the answer to that is Plain to anyone aware of organized labor s struggle to resist communist takeover in Europe since the end of world War ii communist organizers have targeted labor unions As their Central source of Power. They have concentrated on strategic industries like mines and electricity in Britain not so ions ago the Coul miners profoundly influenced the party that controlled the govern ment and even now their Leader is trying to form a Western european pro soviet Alliance. In France communist run unions represent 1.3 Mil lion workers with political cells in every factory at a time of crisis they could paralyse the country however 900,000 other workers Are represented by Force our nere its roots in the French anti nazi resistance strongly uni communist. Fortunately they arc a Radom infant in aerospace. The Man who sensibly and properly steered about ii million into the free labor unions in France ii Irving Brown of the Al Cio who at 74 is legendary in Europe As the defender of free unionism. He says. I cafe l understand the logic of not helping to protect democracy where it  when the Story of . Assistance broke in paria. Free labor did not run for corer in he contrary Force our nere said it was proud to be associated with the Al Cio and that Many recipients were Trade Union organizers forced out of Poland and Afghanistan. The wan Dale fizzled. In Washington the leftist Alliance failed again after some congressmen pressed the endowment director to agree to make Public All Grants conferees appropriated Sis million the same As last year. However the harassment took its loll the portion to be Given out to organized labor was reduced which Uto funds from the Channel in which they have been Molt effectively used moreover the Anli Anli communist net work is busily seeking to make Public the verbatim deliberations of the democracy endowment which would intimidate applicants and help defeat the purpose of the Enterprise. The endowment is infuriating the left because us Money is being put 10 Good use. Next november it appropriations time took for another Eye popping reve lation by the dwindling clutch of activist congressional staffers and advocacy journalists. At that time More Kobiec tic editors May ask Why the keeper
