Goldberg commented that "the Idaho decision goes to the most extreme lengths yet in encroach ing upon the fundamental rights of labor to strike and to picket." "If a monopoly such as AT&T can have a strike declared crimin al simply because it affects two of its innumerable subsidiaries, the way is open for big business gen erally to have any labor dispute labeled as a secondary boycott by separately incorporating various plants or departments." The unions involved are the As sociation of Communication Equipment Workers and the Mountain States Federation of Telephone Workers, both in the CIO. J. N. Boor Outboard Motors 924 Gdn. Vally. Rd.

J OUT OUR WAY BEETLES DEVOUR Almost Half Of Timber In Two Western States Destroyed By Invasion By BEN FUNK DENVER, June 15 (API Ten years ago today, a terrible windstorm lashed at the mountain slopes of Colorado and Wyom ing and set the stage for the worst insect invasion in the his tory of Rocky Mountain forests. The wind blew with near-hurricane force, and by nightfall thousands of trees were on the ground. ' In the trunks of these wind-toppled trees, the Engelmann beetle found an ideal breed- no; ground. Three years later, there were so many beetles no forest could stand before them. In the ten years since the storm, while the U. S. Forest Service stood by helplessly without a practical veapon to fight him, the beetle has destroyed four billion board ieet ol timber enough to build t Jiouse for every family in Colo- aw ana Wyoming. He is known as the Engelmann beetle because he feeds only upon the Engelmann spruce. He has always been present in the moun tain woodlands but until June 15. 1939, offered no particular prob lem, ne naa lea only upon old, over-mature spruce. Young trees were too tougn ior mm. Today, the forest service says 46 percent of the standing timber resources of Colorado and Wyom ing is dead or doomed, and bil lions of the beetles still are gnaw ing away. More than three-fifths of all Colorado's timber is Engelmann Spruce. The Beetle has destroyed one- third of all the spruce and -INSURANCE-AUTO LIFE AUTO FIRE State Farm Mutual Insurance O. L. ROSE P.

His legions have concentrated especially on the White River Na tional Forest. Here 3.3 billion board feed of lumber has been de stroyed and less than half a Bil lion feet of green spruce remains uninfested. All spruce in the forest north of the Colorado River is dead. About 46 out of every 100 com mercially useful trees in the na tional forests of Colorado and on the eastern slopes of Wyoming are Engelmann spruce. Three fourths of these trees are dead and the rest immediately threat ened. In some areas, destruction Is 100 percent. A total of 21 billion board feet of timber in the two states is dead or doomed. "At the present time," says the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarrntine, "there appears to be no economical method of battling the spread of the infestation. The astronomical number of trees in need of treatment makes control economically impossible." Insect predators, like woodpeck ers, and insect diseases are about the only controlling agents. Since the beetles are under the bark of the trees, insect sprays have been useless. Now Is the time to put on screen doors. Our doors are sturdily made with glued and doweled joints.

(PI CIO President Philip Murray said here that the American Telephone and Telegraph Company is at tempting to break the 'phone workers union and that "they (the AT&T) may go to hell with my compliments." He made the statements In an address to the organization com mittee of the CIO telephone wo w ers at their convention. Murray called the AT&T "the most vicious monopoly in Amerl ca," and added: "I don't often run amok, but I'd take on AT&T tomorrow. Wal ter S. Gifford, chairman of the board of directors of AT&T, is made of the same clay as any telephone worker or any other citizen of the United States." Murray said the company is treating contracts "which I con sider sacred, as scraps of paper," but that it "will discover to its complete amazement that it is not big enough to get awav with this." He pledged the TWOA the CIO's support "with all the, re sources at its command." The company, he said, has filed decertification petitions with the National Labor Relations Board on the ground that the Communi cation Workers of America, for merly an independent union, has changed affiliation. The CWA re ceived a CIO charter May 9. A company spokesman in New York said the AT&T had no com ment on Murray's remarks.. On the matter of union certification, however, he said "the various op erating companies of the Bell System, in requesting elections of the NLRB, have already indicated that they were so doing simply in order that they might obtain as surance, through such elections, that the CWA-CIO was the prefer ence of their employes."
