Sheriff Elliott
Begins Campaign
Against Recall
PORTLAND, Aug. 1. (P
Marion L. (Mike) Elliott, Mult
nomah county sheriff, opened his
defense against a recall move
ment last night with a speech In
which he said he was being "per
secuted." The sheriff, who had made no
public statements for two weeks,
broadcast a radio appeal (over
station KXL) for the voters to
refuse to sign recall petitions.
! He blamed "politicians" and
1 those who had received political
favors in the past for the recall
: campaign, asserting he had done
no wrong.
; His opponents accuse him of
lying about his educational back
ground and war record in order
I to get elected. Elliott has admit
! ted his campaign statements
j about a college education and
I wartime marine service were in
J error.
Elliott hinted that he was try
' Ing to uncover "shady deals" of
former administrations, and ask
' ed if the recall were an attempt
to stop his investigations,
j He continued his feud with
Portland newspapers, charging
that they were guilty of "misquot
ing, misplacing and misconstru
ing my statements."
His wife also took part in the
1 broadcast, telling listeners that
Elliott's "integrity, honesty, char
acter and moral standing ... is
on the highest plane."
I The recall started after Elliott

Old-Age Insurance
Benefits May Be
Turned On Or Off
"Retirement benefits paid by
the Social Security administra
tion can be turned on and off al
most as simply as a water fau
cet." Paul F Johnson, manager of
the Eugene social security office,
todav used that parallel In de
scribing a feature of the Old-Age
and Survivors Insurance program
not generally understood.
According to Johnson, some In
dividuals of retirement age hesi
tate to claim their insurance un
der this program because they
far it might prevent their re
turning to work later.
'This fear Is without basis,"
Johnson said. "Whether a man
returns to work after applying for
social security benefits is entire
ly for him to decide. The Social
Security administration will pay
his Insurance benefits for any
month in which his earnings on
jobs covered by the Social Se
curity act total less than $15. If
he earns more than $14.99 in a
month, his insurance check is
held back for that month. .
"When a claimant returns to
work, he simply mails a postcard
furnished by the social security
office. His benefits resume when
he reports he is no longer earn
ing over $14.99 a month. There is
no limit to the number of times
the payments may be started or
stopped."

Rowdy Italian Senators
Get Dictator Warning
ROME, Aug. 1. On Senate
President Bonomi warned bruis
ed and battered senators Thurs
day that unless they behave the
nation faces dictatorship.
He canceled the scheduled re
sumption of debate on the recent
bloody farm strike and an
nounced that an extraordinary
council of the presidency would
meet shortly "to guarantee peace
ful handling" of the subject.
The Senate erupted in a vio
lent, 20-mlnute brawl Wednesday
night after Lulgl Allegato, 33-year-old
Communist senator,
opened attack against Interior
Minister Scelba. .
Black eyes and bruises resulted.
Senate sources said the fight
may have upset a Communist-led
plan to push through an order
of the day deploring the strike
action of Scelba and the government.

'U.S. Iur.au of Labor itafiitln for factory workra.
l Tho price of gasoline today is higher than
it was in 1939. But it actually costs you less. In
1939, for example, 10 gallons of "regular" gaso
line cost the average U. S. factory worker 3
hours' pay. Today, 10 gallons of considerably
better "regular" gasoline costs him less than 2
hours' pay.
2. In 1 939 one bushel of wheat would buy the
average U. S. farmer 3H gallons of gasoline.
Today, one bushel will buy him 7.9 gallons. And
what's true of the factory worker and the
farmer is true to a large extent of most other
gainfully employed people in this country.
3. In other words, the price of gasoline has
gone up less than wage rates and less than the
price of most other commodities. Consequently,
it actually costs you less in "real" dollars than
it cost you in '39. What's the reason for this?
Are the industry's labor costs down? No. Oil
workers are among the highest paid wage
earners in the country.
'
I 10WCR COST I
OstOUNI
4. Aro tho Industry's raw-material, tax and
other "cost-of-doing-business" expenses lower?
Quite the contrary. Are the owners taking less
profit? No, dividend payments have been run
ning higher, although they average only about
3 4'. of gross sales and represent a return of
4Jiri on invested capital. What is the answer
then? Simply this: greater efficiency and lower
costs through more and better "tools" refin
eries, terminals, pipe lines, drilling rigs, etc
5. Slnco 1939 the industry has not only plowed
back every cent of profits after dividends into
enlarged and improved facilities but has bar
rowtd additional money as well all in order to
meet the increased demand for petroleum prod
ucts and to improve efficiency. In the last 10
years Union Oil-in addition to $178,000,000
used for replacement has spent $80,000,000
on "plant" improvement and expansion.
6. 64 of this came out of profits that were
left over during those years after dividends.
The rest was borrowed. So oil company profits
have a very real bearing on keeping down the
cost of gasoline to you. For most profits go right
back into improved facilities that mean greater
efficiency and lower costs.
