cision by North Coast Greyhound
bui lines was awaited today to
determine whether service will
be resumed while a state media
tion panel considers a dispute
between the company and its em
ployes. The Motor Coach Employes un
ion Ar'Ll agreed yesterday
workers would go back for the
first time in two months and
leave a decision on differences
up to the Washington state medi

ers accepted.
James Necly, assistant to the
North Coast company president,
said his statement on the ques
tion would go direct to governor
Langlie.
Governor Langlie Intervened in
the dispute Tuesday and as!;ed

employes start the busses rolling
again.

company wants them set on a
mileage rate. Prior to the strike,
which started June 18, wages
were computed on an hourly basis.

Federal Clumsiness Displayed In
Handling Unemployment Situation
By PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON. The way the great, clumsy federal government
goes after a problem Is sometimes really amazing. Consider the
handling of this Increased unemployment situation, for example.
It ha taken seven months to get the White House machinery In
motion to tell government procurement agencies where to place
their orders to help relieve unemployment In a dozen scattered
areas of the country. And now that It is done, there are consider
able doubts over whether "the program" will do much good.
The fact that there was a ser-1
came apparent last January. Ks-, rSVCnOlOQIST
timaied unemployment was l.-i '
41.000 in December. It Jumped to
2.600.000 in January and 3.221,
sllghtly for the next two months.
Then it started to climb again In
May, passing the 4,000,000 mark
in June.
During this period, labor union
representatives in Washington
were insisting that unemploy
ment was really much higher.
They based their contentions on
reports from local unions whose
members were feeling tne pincn
Nobodv paid much attention.
in May, nowever, Bureau oi
Employment Security, which ov
ersees state unemployment Insur
ance benefit payments, put out a
list of 10 labor market areas
where unemployment was over
12 percent of tne laDor lorce.
These areas were New Bedford
dence, R. L: Bridgeport and Wa
lerbury, Conn.; Utica-Rome. N.
Y.; Scranton-Wilkes-Barre, Pa.;
Mich., and San Jose, Calif.
These reports were based on
actual nose-counting statistics of
claims paid by the states and
could not possibly have been
more accurate. This was no sam
ple survey poll.
In the meantime, the President
had sent to Congress his mid
year economic report, calling at
tention to this problem. He had
given Secretary of Commerce
Charles Sawyer the Job of inves
tigating unemployment condi
tions. And he had given Dr. John
R. Steelman, his assistant, the
Job of "co-ordinating" there's
that word again government
buying in critical unemployment
areas.
So Secretary Snyder and half
a dozen of his top aides climbed

Makes Plea For
Office Nuisance
CHICAGO, Aug. 18 UP A
psychologist fixed his searching
eye today on that well known
phenomenen the office nui
sance. The apple polisher, said Prof.
A. C. VanDusen, is that way be
cause he feels Insecure.
The Northwestern university
psychologist told the National In
situte of Commercial and Trade
Organization executives not to
fire problem employes, but to de
termine why they tick off kev.
"Actually, it all boils down to
the workers basic needs, Van
Dusen said, such needs are ap
nroval and recognition, a feeling
of emoiional security, accom
plishment and contribution."
And if somebody in the organi
zation regularly causes his em
ployer mental anguish, maybe
it s tne fault of the boss, him
self. Van Dusen urged the execu
tives to consider their own atti
tudes toward the office force.
There ought to be an "atmos
phere of approval" In every of
fice, he declared.
The boss should be quick to
acknowledge a Job well done.
When something is done wrong,
the bos should he sure the cm
nloyee understands why it isn't
satisfactory.
He shouldn't set a vaeue, hard
to follow office policy. He should
stand behind his subordinates
when they are right.
If there a a change to be made
which directly affects an indi
vidual employee, that person
reel ions to discover where the should be forewarned and given
unemployment was. Last week an explanation

Of course that would have been

a high policy-making level" that
would have spoiled.

have all been writing letters on
While House stationery. They
have been told that wherever pos

orders into the designated dis

They have been reading in the
papers for the past month that
they were going to be asked to
do this. But gelling a leer on

Stand by for a miracle.
Actually, the program may not
do much good, even If It works.
In the dozen distress areas are
perhaps 200,000 unemployed
workers. Even If all of them
could be put back to work on gov
ernment orders tomorrow, total
U.S. unemployment of 4.000.0O0
would be reduced by only five
percent.

Business Loans
On Upward Trend
For Holiday Trade
WASHINGTON, Aug. 18 CP)
Business loans appear definitely
on the increase in volume. The
gain i a sign that business men
are stocking up on goods at last
tor tail anu mrislmas sales.
Finance official here predict
ed today this uptrend will go on
with perhaps some interruptions
right on up to Christmas itself.
'Ine rejuvenating effects on the
economy of increased inventory
buying can be judged by the fact
lhat the Commerce department
singled out a cutback In that buy
ing as the prime cause of the
19-49 dip in business.
A Federal Reserve board re
port showing an $0,0U0,0U0 in
crease in loans to business men
by leading city bank during the
week ended August 10 mirrored
a virtually country-wide improve
ment. All districts shared in the ex
pansion except the Cleveland dis
trict, where there was a $7,000,
000 downturn, and Boston, where
the loan volume was unchanged,
officials reported.
The big gains were $38,000,000
in New York City and $20,000,
000 in the Kansas City district.
At New York, the loan increases
extended to a wide variety of
Business fields, officials said.
With business men ordering
more goods to sell in turn to
their customers, factories can be
expected to step up operations
and in some cases recall workers
laid off when order thinned or
stopped.

Of Gtntral Vaughan
(Continued from page 1)
DRUNKS PENALIZED
Municipal court Judge Ira B
Riddle reported the disposition of
the following cases today:
George Harrison Bowman, 54,
Roseburg, pleaded guilty to being
drunk on a public street and was
committed for ten days in the
city Jail in lieu of payment of $20
fine.
Pleas of not guilty, entered at
the time of their arrest Aug. 16,
were changed to guilty today by
Walter Emll Cox, 47, and Alfred
Nichols McCarthy, 62, both of
Eugene.
Cox paid a fine of $20 on a
charge of being drunk on a pub
lic street and McCarthy paid a
total of $30 on charges of drunk
and disorderly.
said that, he will go before the
committee and make a full state
ment on all matters with which
his name has been connected,"
the President said.
"I suggest, as the chairman of
the committee has done, that you
gentlemen and your editors, in
common f,rness, suspend judg
ment on General Vaughan until
he has been heard by the com
mittee." Senator Hoey asked during the
hearing yesterday that senators
withhold statements denouncing
Vaughan. He spoke out after Sen
ator Mundt IR-S.D.) had called
Vaughan, among other things, a
' finagling bargainer."
The President made it clear
that he does not approve of the
way the hearings have been
handled.
Nima Used Unfavorably
Vaughan' name has come up
repeatedly at hearings of the com
mittee which is looking into ac
tivities of so-called five percent
ers persons who help In seeking
out government contracts for a
fee usually five percent.
His name has come up In con
nection with gifts of several
home freezers, activities in be
half of a California race track
seeking to get a building permit
when materials were scarce, and
efforts of a New Jersey. molasses
firm to get a permit for addi
tional scarce sugar, after the
company had been accused of vi
olating a sugar rationing order
in 1946.
Mr. Truman said "most of the
favorable testimony" concerning
Vaughan has been held behind
closed doors while the unfavor
able side has been produced at
open hearings.
The hearings, he went on, have
been behind closed doors "par
ticularly if they were friendly
to Vaughan."
He went on to say that much
of the unfavorable stories have
resulted from "leaks" from with
in the committee.
Some of the newsmen took is
sue with the President, saying
that virtually all the recent hear
ings have been public.
