AN
Picketing At Bakery
Newest Strike Move
(Continued From Page One)
Lee Judd. Barker said they would
aid in the reinforcement of picket
lines.
Barker said the picket at Pat
terson's Bakery was withdrawn
today, after the firm had agreed
not to sell to markets affected by
the strike.
Demands Mads
The meatcutters' strike started
Thursday, when Journeymen
butchers employed oy me mar
kets left their jobs demanding $75
for a 40-hour week. They rejected
an employers' offer of $72.50 for
a 48-hour week. Retail grocery
clerks employed in the stores af
fected by the meatcutters' strike
walked off in refusal to work be
hind picket lines.
Carlson, in nis teiepnoneo,
statement today, said the unions
are "flagrantly violating the state
law" in trying to "coerce" baker
ies and wholesale houses to cut
off supplies to the groceries af
fected by the strike.
Carlson saia tne groceries are
not attempting to bring meat
in and have closed their meat
markets, but are continuing oper
ations of their grocery depart
ments with managerial help. He
said the grocers had "demanded"
they be allowed to purchase
bread. Describing the bakery as
"the innocent victim" of a squeeze
Carlson said Patterson's had re
ceived legal advice that It had
the right to sell bread at the
plant.
Barker this morning laughed
at a report he said was published
In Eugene that Roseburg resi
dents are "starving' 'as result of
the strike. He asserted that of
some 18 groceries in Roseburg,
onlv eleht are belnor picketed.
He said that "lest Roseburg re
ceive bundles from Eugene, there
are ample groceries and meat
sunnlles In the Roseburg area."
Irked by Barker's statement
Friday that ne naa not answereu
a Central Labor Council citation
delivered to him by registered
letter, and therefore was pre
sumed to be no longer represent
ative of the market operators,
Carlson said he had received the
letter in Portland before the
strike had started and before the
employers final offer had been
rejected.
Carlson had accused Barker of
an "unfair labor practice" in at
tempting to persuade Individual
market operators to meet the
union's terms. Carlson said that
In each case, Barker had been re
ferred to him as the employers'
representative.

sales for the purpose of taxes to
state and local governments,
guaranteed that private property
removed from the tax rolls would
continue to pay taxes at the same
rate as when the property was
acquired by TV A, and set up a
formula for a fair division of the
power proceeds tax between areas
where the power is produced and
where it Is consumed.
About 125 municipal light and
power plants, public utility ais
tricts. and REA co-operatives in
the five states where TV A oper
ates, which obtain all or part oi
their nower requirements from
TV A, now pay taxes to local gov
ernments equivalent xo o.o per
cent of their gross proceeds.
From the time Congress instl
tuted the TVA gross proceeds tax
In 1940, the percentage has been
gradually scaled down, so that
the tax Is now five per cent of
fross proceeds. TVA is paying
2,000,000 taxes yearly on power
generated, as well as taxes on
property it removes from the tax
rolls. Public power distribution
systems are paying an additional
f,2,000,000 annually, derived from
their 5.6 per cent gross proceeds
tax. ,
RnnlHiif Dim Pavs
Even Boulder Dam, serving the
Los Angeles area, pays $600,000
yearly in taxes, as wen as ,nc
public school tuition costs of the
children - of employes operating
the dam, said Cooper.
Cooper said the CVA bill Is pat
terned after the Atomic Energy
Commission law, which does not
Srovlde an adequate tax formula,
nder the CVA bill, he added,
t uet are not guaranteed on pri
vate property acquired, nor is an
adequate formula set up for tax
payments on former private utili
ties acquired by public groups.
Should the CVA bill be enacted
in Its present form, the system
of tax payments to local govern
ments on federal timber sales
would be endangered, Cooper de
clared. Either the CVA law, with
out provision for revenues to lo
cal governments, will mean the
eventual end of percentage pay
ments on federal timber sales, or
the CVA bill will have to be re
vised to provide for tax payments.
Predicts Salts Tax
Cooper also predicted that Ore-
?on will have a sales tax within
Ive years after enactment of the
CVA law, if local governments
cities, counties, school districts,
etc. lose the revenues they now
receive from private utilities, un
less an adequate tax formula is
adopted.

Dr. Newburn Is Speaker
At Graduation Exercises
(Continued From Page One)
only an ability to drive, but an
ability to accept the responsi
bility of manipulating a vehicle
in such a manner that life and
limb may not suffer.
"Don't ask for freedom, but
responsibility, Dr. -Newburn said.
He pointed out freedom (to act)
comes to those who demonstrate
responsibility.
" Another discipline necessary to
the educated man is a demonstra
tion of an "adequate ability to
use the basic tools of learning,
i.e., reading, writing, speaking
and the use of numbers." Many
grow up without a real ability
to think, Dr. Newburn informed.
This is reflected in their in
ability to utilize the basic tools
to the full limit.
The trained mind, the ability
to methodically solve problems,
is a third discipline necessary to
be an educated person.
'The trained mind studies facts,
then organizes. It is not motivated
by fears, superstitions and anxi
eties. The trained person gets
at the issues of a case," Newburn
related.
The fourth discipline is the
ability to enjoy an "adequate
control over ones conduct." Too
many persons are not respon
sible for their own conduct, mak
ing it necessary for those in
authority to stand by and watch
over those not conducting them
selves properly, Newburn said.
finally, Dr. iMewourn indicated
the educated person has that
discipline that comes from real
strength of character. "Worth
while jobs can only be accom
plished by working at the job.
You must put forth the effort,
if you would do the job well
and once the task is undertaken,
do it to the highest level."
Newburn stressr-t the impor
tance of desiring to live "at the
highest level possible." Prepara
tion must be made to sacrifice
"for someone believed in." Faith
is necessary faith dedicated to
worthwhile causes. If this char
acteristic is developed. Newburn
said, the importance of the spirit
will become apparent. "The spir
itual side is the most important,"
Newburn pointed out. With this
realization the high school grad
uate is ready to face the world.
Prisoner Freed From
Benton County Jail
(Continued From Page One)
finally paid him enough atten
tion to summon police. The coun
ty jail, located in a small build
ing adjoining the courthouse, is'
not manned at night.
The tail breakers apparently
Dicked the locks, both to the jail
and to the courthouse. They car-!
ried oft 4 or S revolvers ,and a
large supply of ammunition.
With the possibility that the
men might be the desperate
criminals who broke out of the
state penitentiary Monday, a
state wide alarm was sent out,
and road blocks set up.
"They will be desperate", said
the sheriff. "They will be heavily
armed they have all those t
guns."
Hall, who the sheriff said had
a long record, was In the jail ;
here awaiting trial on a forgery
charge. He had served In the
state penitentiary from 1943 to I
194b on an assault witn a danger
ous weapon charge.
Twis-s told police that the two
men suggested taking him, too,
so that he could not spread an
alarm, but Hall turned down that
proposal.
Twiss said he thought there
might have been a third man out
side in the car, but he was not
sure. At one point, he said, they
spoke of California license plates,
and of their car being "hot."
