Rosenman said he had brought this to the attention of Cyrus Ching, federal mediation and con ciliation director, when he was asked to serve on the board.

City officials have been summoned to 6how cause why they should not be charged with maintaining a public health haz ard and stream pollution, by dis posing of untreated or insuffi ciently treated sewage In local streams. Mayor Leo Sanders was quoted by the Mvrtle Creek Mail as say ing that the action will serve a useful purpose by giving recogni tion to a problem which has been vexing city authorities for some time. The sewage disposal situa tion at Myrtle Creek has given rise io many complaints ana much discussion. Attempts to find a solution have met with a blank wall, said Mayor Sanders. Pre-war property valuations are still In effect, and on the basis of these figures rnoney to finance a sewage dis posal project would necessitate a tax levy of an estimated 15 to 20 mills, according to Sanders. The citv has rjrenared a nre. liminary survey which shows the extent of the needed sewer system and disposal plant. Officials have asked for a revision of the prop erty assessment records to include on the tax rolls many improve ments made by owners since the last review of records was made. Myrtle Creek's city council has also arranged for an investigation of reported violations of local sanitation ordinances. Sen. Cain Raps Exclusion Of Spain From Pact WASHINGTON, July 18 UP) Senator Cain (R.-Wash.) told the Senate today he is supporting the Atlantic pact but he criticized Spain's omission from the alli ance. Cain said he did not like a section of the treaty which re quires unanimous approval of the 12 signers before any additional countries can be admitted to the alliance. The way ought to be left open, he' declared, for Sweden, Greece and Turkey to join. Contending that the pact give small countries like Luxembourg a veto, Cain said: "In the years to come, for in stance, we may well need the friendship and military assistance of Spain. Are we to be denied in time of need the help of her million trained veterans oi war against communists just because some European politicians, perhaps un der the influence of some com munist elements, do not like the color of Franco's nose and decide to veto the admission of the Spanish nation into a mutually helpful alliance? "I hold no brief for Spanish dictatorship, but I submit that it was neither necessary nor wise thus to tie up the hands of the United States." Cain announced he will loin with other senators in attempting to amend the forthcoming arms program to provide for an inter national police force. Senator Knowland (R.-Callf.) said an effort to provide some additional military aid for nation alist China also may be made when the arms program is before congress. H'ikhi8i I votk wt t.'ra corf. .

Apply T-H Law, Morte Says Senator Morse (R-Ore) said he agreed that the Hawaiian situa tion is so serious as to fall within the intent of the Taft-Hartley ct "even though I'm opposed to the Taft-Hartley law and the in junction." "I believe use of the act would create greater problems than it would solve by breaking the strike," Morse said. "But if we are going to have the law, if it is ever going to beapplied, it should be applied here." Blaidsdell said the employers have no specific recommendations to offer. The pending bill would apply to commerce between Ha waii and the mainland; Blaisdell thought any legislation should protect only minimum commerce between the mainland and all territories, leaving to collective bargaining the actual settlement of wages and conditions. Morse declared that he Is against leaving the settlement to the "law of the jungle." The senator expressed belief that ar bitration would be the "common sense solution." HONOLULU, July 18.
