Problem For Congress

nated from the Nationalist gov
ernment it could serve as a frame
work to unify a fight against the
communists. There was no doubt
he was suggesting that Chiang
Kai-shek severely criticized in
the state department report,
make his exit.
Senator Knowland (R-Calif)
scolded the department for what
he said was an effort stretching
over a period of years to force
Chiang's government to take in
communists.
Senator McCarran D-Nev) said
that if the white paper policies
are continued "it will be only a
short time until all Asia is under
communist control, which will ex
tend to Japan and the Phillip
pines." Dept. "Excuse" Seen
Bridges charged that the white
paper "is a complete effort of the
state department to scuttle the
Nationalist government and anti-
communist lorces in China."
Even Senator Dulles R-NY).
who cooperates with the admin
istration on bipartisan foreign
policies, looked upon the white
paper as "an attempt to explain
and excuse past failures."
'The American people are not
interested in that," he said. "They
want future success in stopping
communism In Asia. Fortunately,
the state department Is seeking a
new policy and I very much hope
it succeeds."
On the other side. Senator John
son U-Col) said he wanted to make
the most of one of the few oppor
tunities he has had to cheer for
state department foreign policy
decisions.
"To intervene In the civil war
in China would be reckless be
yond description," he declared.
'The state department In this In
stance is being realistic and sen
sible.

Cardinal Clarifies His
School Aid Demands
(Continued From Page One)
tnterpietations over federal aid
to education.
He said he felt It his "duty to
stale in simple terms tne posi
tion that Catholics together with
many Americans of other reli
gious beliefs are upholding."
No "Anti-Catholic" Bias
Mrs. Roosevelt, declaring anew
that she has "no anti-Catholic
bias," said:
"I am firm In my belief that
there shall be no pressure brought
to Dear oy any cnurcn against
the proper operations of the gov
ernment and that there shall oe
recognition of the fact that all
citizens may express their views
treeiy on questions ol public in
terest."
The controversy between the
cardinal and Mrs. Roosevelt flar
ed up two weeks ago when the
cardinal assailed her for views
the expressed in her dally news
paper column.
He said the widow of the late
President was guilty of "anti-
Catholicism .... unworthy of
an American mother," and said
he" stand coold item only from
misinformation, Ignorance or
prejudice."
Replying, Mrs. Roosevelt denied
any bias, declared that public
support of religious -controlled
scnoois naa always proved an
"unhappy" arrangement, and said
she would continue to speak out
for what she thought right.
At issue in the dispute is a
hill sponsored by Rep. Graham
Barden (D-N.C). It would pro
vide $300,000,000 federal aid for
general expenses of public schools,
with private and church schools
excluded.
The bill, still not acted upon,
would provide no funds for
health, lunch or other auxiliary
programs either for public or
parochial schools.
Another bill already passed by
the Senate would leave the dis
tribution of federal funds up to
the states.

Minimum Wage
Bill. Revised.
Gains Support
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-4JPi
Growing Republican support for
the administration's modified
minimum wage bill was claimed
today by Chairman Lesinski ID
Mich.) of the House Labor com
mittee. He credited the swing to a con
centrated campaign by textile un
ion representatives during the
past few days to persuade New
England congressmen to vote for
a 75-cent minimum wage.
"Some of our Republican
friends are beginning to see the
light," Lesinski said. 'They are
discovering that low wages can
cut two ways.
"They certainly will vote for
the bill If they want to keep their
textile mills from moving south.
The mills are going down there
for low wages, and the only rem
edy is a higher minimum wage."
The administration originally
proposed boosting the national
minimum from 40 cents an hour
to 75, and broadening the wage
hour law to take in about 5,000.
000 workers not now covered.
The new bill, a compromise, car
ries me 70-cent minimum, but
would make only minor changes
in coverage.

Hawaiian Legislature
Votes To Seize Docks
(Continued from page 1)
would be arbitration by a board of
nawan ousinessmen not con
nected with any of the "Big Five"
sugar agencies.
ine union repeatedly has de
manded arbitration. Employers
nave rejected It, contending they
should not be bound in advance
to accept an award on wages by
third parties who have no finan
cial responsibility.
"Sig Five" Is Assailed
Bridges referred to the "Big
Five" as "feudal lords" and said
their attorney James Blaisdell
"got the horse laugh" In Wash
ington last month when he told a
Senate committee there was no
Big Five.
An important Issue in a settle
ment, the longshore leader said,
should be an extension of the
present contract for one or two
years.
"The union doesn't want to go
through another strike next
spring," he said. The contract ex
pires May 1. The present strike
grew out of the wage reopening
clause.
Bridges said he came here to
determine whether it is "worth
while to continue or, If necessary,
to compromise" the strike. He
said he would remain as long as
he felt he could be of any use in
making a settlement.
Non-Red Oath Demanded
He said he felt the ILWU has
a responsibility to continue the
strike until wage cuts imposed
on unorganized workers are re
stored. Such cuts, he said, axe
not justified economically.
Some companies have cut
wages and laid off workers on
grounds that business has fallen
off in the dock strike paralysis.
The final version of the legis
lature's bill retains the House
provision requiring a loyalty for
citizens and a non-Communist
oath for aliens employed in the
government's dock operation.
The House also won revision
of the Senate plan to charge an
operating fee of 1 per cent on
the companies' gross revenues.
The final draft gives the com
panies the option of taking a
frofit less than one-fourth of
per cent on gross revenues or
being paid for rental on their
equipment. Rental would be de
cided by a court.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 6. I
(IP) The government is willing
to postpone its civil suit against
longshore leader Harry Bridges.
The suit, to cancel Bridges' cit
izenship on civil grounds, was
filed simultaneously with his in
dictment May 25 by the federal
grand jury on charges of perjury i
and conspiracy in connection
with his naturalization in 1945. i
Asistant U. S. Attorney Robert ,
McMillan said yesterday if the ;
government were forced to an
swer the 47 interrogatories asked
by the longshore leader's attor
neys in connection with the civil
action it would hamper and ob-!
struct the criminal case against
Bridges.
He added that there would be
no need to proceed with the civil
suit II Bridges were convicted in
the criminal action.

July Near Normal
Except As To Rain
With the exception of amount
of rainfall. July was "a very near
normal" month, according to a
report from Thomas A. Hill Jr.,
official in charge of the Rose
burg weather bureau.
Only five days did tempera
tures reach 90 degrees or above, ;
with the year's maximum read-:
Ing, an even 100, recorded July ;
14. Average maximum tempera
ture was 82.1 and average mini- i
mum was 53.9, Just slightly above
average for any July in both
cases.
The 100 degree reading falls
to compare with the record 109 1
degrees recorded here three
years ago, July 20, 1946.
To the average Roseburg resl-'
dent and nearby farmer, July ;
was a rainless month, but the
weather bureau recorded four
days when a "trace" appeared.
However the total for those four
days amounted to less than .01
of an inch.
Although the month's rainfall
was J2 of an inch below normal,
Hill said this was not exceptional
since nine previous months of
July have recorded no rain what
ever and six other Julys have had
only a trace.
