Grandstaif, convicted under Tennessee'! seldom-used habitual criminal' act after a life long career of petty crime, was thrown In solitary confinement one day for breaking a prison rule. There he thought of the wide spaces, the Immense rolling hills of a Texas he had once known, in his mind he heard a melody and as It grew, he scribbled the notes on his cell wall. That was the birth of his cantata. He named It the Big Springs cantata in honor of the Texas town that had inspired the song Juvtntl Taktn Ovtr Whtn PartnH Dtttrt PORTLAND, Sept. 6.

National Capital Publishers Asks For Cut In Wages WASHINGTON, Sept. 6. OPi The Washington Publishers' as sociation has proposed "a substan tial reduction in wages" to the members of Columbia Typo graphical union 101 employed on the capital's four dally news papers. The publishers said In a letter accompanying proposals for a contract effective Nov. 11 that "in view of the present economic trend, a substantial reduction in wages it justified." . The employers added. "In view of the over-all seriousness of the wage question, it is a matter that should be discussed by the scale committee of the publisher and union." In their proposals, the publish ers left the wage issue blank. Washington's daily newspapers are the Evening Star and the News, afternoon; the Washington Post, morning, and the Times Herald, morning and afternoon. The Chicago Tribune, of which Col. Robert R. McCormick is editor and publisher, recently ac quired the Times-Herald. The Tribune, along with other Chicago newspapers, has been publishing without members of the typographical union since 1 strike began Nov. 24. 1947. Among other changes, the Washington publishers suggested to the union the elimination of type-setting for "bogus" or "dead horse work meaning the du plication In each shop of the matrices which are often fur nished for local advertisements. There has been no written con tract between the Washington publishers and the union fcr he last two years, because ' tiie Taft-Hartley act's ban .he closed shop and the prini na tionwide fight to retain the How the profit system forces improvement l Historically, natural gas has always been a cheaper fuel for industrial plants than fuel oil. West Texas has an abundant supply of natural gas but few industrial plants. Southern Califor nia, at the end of the war, had a limited supply of natural gas and many industrial plants. 2. Therefore, it tnade good economic sense to build a natural gas pipe line from West Texas to Southern California. And as soon as the pipe line was in operation late in 1947 industrial consumption of fuel oil in the Southern Califor nia area dropped off 51,000 barrels per day. 3. During this same postwar period, western railroads began an intensive program of con verting from steam locomotives to Diesels. This made good economic sense too. But it also meant that railroad consumption of fuel oil dropped from 126,000 barrels a day in 1945 to 67,000 barrels per day currently. 4 To complicate) matters further, more and more people continue to move to the West. So more and more gasoline is needed to meet their requirements. Now you can't get gasoline out of a barrel of crude without producing some fuel oil. As a result more fuel oil is being produced at a period when lets is needed. And time will make the maladjustment worse instead of better. 5. So th Industry is faced with a major change in refining techniques. Several processes that will enable us to convert fuel oil stocks into gas oline have already been blueprinted. But build ing the equipment is going to cost a whale of a lot of money. Estimates for such installations at Union Oil alone range from 40 million to 70 million dollars. But they will be built because they have to be built if we're going to stay in business. 6. We don't Ilk unexpected expenditures any more than anyone else. But we do think this is an excellent example of : (1) the way our Ameri can free economy forces improvement and auto matically controls the production of different products; (2) the necessity for adequate profits and adequate incentive for new capital. For these two sources provide the money we contin ually require to keep our industrial equipment up to the tasks which face it.
