Broadcast Hours
On Liquor Ads
Draw Protests
KLAMATH FALLS, Jan. 25
VP) Oregon liquor control com
missioners yesterday postponed
action on protests against tne
hours alcoholic beveraee adver
tisements are allowed to be
broadcast.
Administrator William Hamm
ond reported there had been 217
complaints against the recent
lowering of the night time ban
from 10 o'clock down to 8 o'clock.
The commission decided to con
tinue the earlier broadcast start
ing hour, however, until the
State Broadcasting association
could express Its views.
Commissioner John Crow,
Portland, said athletic teams
sponsored by taverns should
tress food or some otner com
modity in their uniform insignia.
Me said too many stressed alco
holic beverages.
A Klamath Falls high school
Darenta and Datrons club com
mittee spent an hour with the
commission airing the need lor
closer checks on taverns. The
parents complained beer was
sold to youngsters and that com
plaints were not investigated.
James Pennieer, chairman of
the club committee, said "a lot
of high school kids go to various
places and buy beer." He said
nothing was done when the par
ents complained.
- Hammond said shortage of per
sonnel was the reason for an y
failure to follow up, but he urged
the parents to continue to make
their views known.

The jury held that Hiss lied

civil wnr( 18,000 Poles who were
members of the Polish armed
forci-g on the side of the allies
duving World War II, and 4,000
European refugees in Shanghai.
Communists Barred
The Senate committee's blil
continued two provisions of the
present law which the House bill
would have ended. They are the
reauirement that 30 per cent of
the DPs must be agriculturists,
and 40 per cent must be from oc
cupied territories.
In the case of the agricultur
ists, the committee bill would re
quire that visas be limited to
people who have had at least two
years of farm experience.
The bill specifically bars Com
munists, Marxists and persons
who bore arms aganst the United
States in the last war.
It also gives the U. S. consular
service and the immigration and
naturalization service veto power
over eligibility of, DPs. Their pres
ent eligibility is now determinej
by the displaced persons commis
sion. Senator McCarran said this
veto authority "reflects a strong
er attitude toward protecting
the government of the United
Sates."
Perjury Claim Unproven
President Truman called for
the "liberalization" of the DP law
last summer to eliminate what
he called discriminatory Drovl-
slons against Jews and Catholic!.
McCarran then made a tour of
the DP camps to check on opera
tions. He contended that the 1918
act permitted subversive agents
to slip into this country In the
guise of DPs. He also charged
that "crime, fraud and perjury"
figured in the selection of persons
permitted to enter the U. S. The
DP commission denied his
charges.
1 he December, 194S cutoff date
In the present law also was bit
terly criticized. Opponents argued
that it discriminated against
many Jews from Poland who did
not reach DP camps until 1946
or 1947.
It was learned that most of the
controversy In the committee's
discussion centered around this
point. McCarran said that the bill
agreed upon in the end does not
discriminate against anyone.

ers. From this fund money would
be drawn by a company-union
committee to cover pensions fall
ing due.
UAW President Walter Reuther
said the company wanted to leave.
nseu ciear to jern tne string
at a later date by basing the pen
sions on its promise to pay.
Herman Wecklep, Chrysler gen
eral manager, claimed Chrysler's
plan was as good or better than
any the CIO has won.
"Chrysler pays wages regu
larly," he said. "It pays Its bills
reguiarly. Its pension and insur
ance payments would be just as
sure and sound."
Reuther said the company was
trying to "squeeze out" of the
pension setup now in effect within
the steel industry and at Ford
Motor Co. In those Industries,
labor won trust fund arrange
ments. It took a strike to brln? a steel
settlement last year but there
was no walkout at Ford.
Today was the second time
within less than two years that
the UAW called a walkout at
Chrysler. The union won a 13
cent rise there in 1948 after a 17
day walkout.
Further Parley Planned
There was still hope that the
current dispute might be solved.
Government mediators, who step
ped into the talks yesterday, sa.d
they expected to arrange further
negotiations. Just when thev
could be arranged no one could
say.
Under the present company
union agreement, the Chrysler
contract ends immediately when
a strike Is called.
Reuther said his union now
could demand a whole new con
tract, Instead of only a new wage
clause in the old contract, due
to expire next August.
For the past 17 days, contract
talks went on continuously.
The strike came scarcely two
months after Chrysler began pro
duction of new models. It cast a
cloud over predictions that the
auto industry would hit a new
production peak this year. The
strike affects operations on all
four lines of Chrysler-built cars
Chryr'er, De Soto, Dodge and
Plymouth.
Around Chrysler's 14 .Detroit
plants, the scene was familiar.
Soup kitchens were rolled out.
Lines of marching workers car
ried placards proclaiming, "We
want nenslons, not Weckler's love
letters."
Since the war, . Detroit had
seen a 1946 strike at General
Motors, the 1948 Chrysler strike
and a speed-up strike last year
at Ford.
Minimum Wage Upped By
Changes In Labor Law
(Continued from page One)
tural workers, domestic servants,
seamen, fishermen, and many
retail and service employes.
Principal provisions of the law,
besides the 75-cent hourly mini
mum, are:
1. Workers covered under the
law must be paid time and one
half for hours worked In addition
to 40 a week.
2. Employment of child labor
now is almost completely ban
ned. In some few exceptions minors
under 16 years of age may be
employed, except in hazardous
industries m wnicn none under
18 can be employed.
3. The wage-hour administra
tor Is authorized, for the first
time, to sue for back pay due
workers. Previously, only the
workers could sue. They can still
do that, or have the government
sue for them. There is a two
year limit on such legal claims.
The minimum wage provisions
have been extended to airline and
fish canning workers for the first
time. They still are exempt from
overtime provisions, however.
Now exempt from the mini
mum are workers employed by
certain laundries and cleaning
establishments, taxlcab compan
ies, dally and weekly newspapers
having less than 4,000 circulation,
and logging and forestry opera
tions employing 12 or less.

Priests Signing
Red Govt. Oath,
Claim Of Czechs
PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, Jan.
24. UP) The controlled
Czechoslovakia press said today
many Catholic priests are sign
ing oaths of allegiance to the
Communist government without
any reservations.
Priests have been Instructed by
the Roman Catholic hlerachy to
sign oaths of allegiance if necess
ary .to stay out of jail, but to do
so only with the reservation that
such an oath "does not violate
the laws of God and the church
and the natural rights of man."
The newspaper of the Czech
Communist party, Rude Pravo,
reasserted the most Catholic
priests were "defying their bi
shops and signing the oaths. Ca
tholic sources said yesterday
many of the priests who signed
did so "with very great unwill
ingness" and only after they
had tried without success to add
the reservation. The sources pre
dicted the majority of 'good
and faithful" priests would be in
jail in the next few months.
The oath is required of priests
by the new church law under
which the government look over
administrative functions of the
churches and placed clergymen
In civil service categories.
Marooned Family In
Elk Valley Rescued
(Continued from page One)
continually filled with snow, and
his hands became so numb from
the cold, he said, that he could
not keep the boots pulled up. They
wrinkled down and blistered his
feet. Then he spent the night
without a fire under an old truck
bed. His feet became frozen. He
had come only about half way
the first night. He did not at
tempt to folow the road, but cut
straight over ravines and ridges
on the shortest route.
After hearing of the family's
plight, an attempt was made to
open the road. The effort was
temporarily discontinued in favor
of dropping food by plane. This
was unsuccessful, as the visibility
was too poor to reach the ma
rooned famly by air.
Aid Response Prompt
When the planes, operated by
Deputy Sheriff Ira Byrd, and
George Felt failed In their at
tempt, an estimated 20 volunteers
from the Camas Valley area went
back7 to their work of opening the
road.
The sheriff's office sent out a
plea for snowshoes and skis, and
the response was extremely grati
fying, said Sheriff Carter, More
than enough were brought l.
and other people called offering
to iena tneir- equipment, irom
places as far away as Sutherlln.
Six men on snowshoes went on
ahead of the road crew to reach
the family. Work of the crew
was hampered by a fresh fall of
at least four inches of snow Tues
day. The six men who snowshoed In
Si miles ahead of the "'cat" and
broke trail the last two miles
without snowshoes so those at
Elk valley could make the trip
back were Miles Standley, Dale
Wheelock, Leon Ashton, Standley
Dancer, Bill McClellan and James
Combs.
Heavy Snow Battled
In some places in the last two
miles, according to Information
from Mrs. Combs, the snow was
31 feet deep. On Dutchman moun
tain, the snow averaged about six
feet, but in some places it had
drifted to a depth of about 10
feet. Men had feared that the
"eat" would be unable to get
through the drifts, but It went
through without - too much
trouble.
