STANTON Here and there we find evidence of a change to more realistic thinking toward unemployment and profits. A few labor leaders are working to aid management in conducting profitable businesses, rather than trying to appropriate all profits for the benefit of labor. A few labor leaders and government officials are beginning to recognize the im portance of JOBS, and are thinking of ways and means to create them. Two methods of increasing employment are plainly marked. One is to encourage private industry to expand production. The other is to provide public works paid from the common treasury. For nearly two decades we have been told of the "evils" of the capitalistic' system. Big business has been assailed, simply because it is big.' Foes of capitalism and free enter prise have succeeded in convincing many people that profits are wicked and should be seized by taxation or controlled by legislation. Organized labor, "during years of struggle to obtain its fair share from profits it produces, has not yet fully realized that jobs cannot be maintained under a capital istic system when an excessive share is demanded; that a realistic attitude must include fair division between both management and labor. Fre Enterprise Has Many ; Some of our popular attitudes antagonistic to free enter prise may be traced back to management abuses and excess profit-taking. But aiding and abetting is a socialistic theory opposed to free enterprise and capitalism and encouraging totalitarian powers in which all people would become subject to the welfare state. Thus we find a strong school of thought that all earnings and wages, other than an amount sufficient to cover bare necessities of life, should be seized by the government and then returned through such channels as might be selected by those in authority usually guided in their decisions by political expediency. Thus they would control jobs through public works and legislative controls ovee business and industry, preserving and perpetuating authority by economic domination. We have long been traveling the socialistic path, but hope atilKmay be found, in recent expressions and actions, that we may be nearing a turning point. . Jobs Are Best Economic Security 1 Leon Keyserling, acting chairman of the President's coun cil of economic advisers, is quoted ia recent news items stressing the necessity of increasing industrial production at the average rate of 2Vi to 3 percent annually to provide employment for the nation's workers. While the economic council has definitely pointed its studies along the socialistic path, until one of the nation's foremost economists resigned in protest to distortion of data, the fact that.it emphasizes the need for jobs is significant. ' Given the fact that jobs are needed at a certain progres sive rate, the next step is to determine the method by which the desired result may be achieved. As. previously stated, one way is by encouraging free enterprise and the other is through public works. Must Remove Shackles If we are to follow the shackles must be removed and employment. ' We cannot expect industrial expnnsion, while we simul' taneously discourage profit-taking and penalize bigness We can't expect free enterprise to do the job while we cotv tintie "soak the rich" policies of taxation. In the first place, big taxpayers those who pay $100,000 or more per year contribute only about one and one-fourth billion dollars annually to the nation's tax income. But little taxpayers with incomes up to $7,000 contribute around 10 billion dollars. Much of the big taxpayer's tax is passed on. to the little taxpayer in business. So who is getting hurt? By a more realistic federal ' granting exemption for money invested in job-creating projects, eliminating pyramiding of personal income taxes by permitting a taxpayer to pay separately on earnings from each of several corporations in which he might be interested, we could quickly solve much Here in Oregon, where needs introduction of utilization processes, not only to cre ate more jobs but also to conserve a great resource, thou sands of new jobs could be created if existing taxation policies were changed and cooperation between labor and management achieved. Criminal Charges Faced Here By Five Persons Granville Gibbs, 50, Azalea, was arrested Monday on a charge of assault while armed with a deadly weapon, Sheriff O. T. Carter re ported today. Gibbs posted $500 bail and was released from the county jail. . William John Tucker, zz a n a Wayne Ferill, 23, both of Rose burg, were released from the county jail after each posted $750 bail following their arrest by Rose burg police on charges of robbery by force and violence, not being rmed with a dangerous weapon. Ernest Gilbert, 62, and Agnes Gilbert, 40, both of Troutdale, are being held in the county jail on a charge of larceny by bailee. Car ter also reported. The couple were arrested Monday at Troutdale. The sheriff also reported the de Enemies traditionally American way, industry encouraged to create "overhead" charges of doing tax program, limiting surtaxes, of our unemployment problem, our lumber industry critically livery of a 12.year-old. runaway juvenile of Eureka, Calif., to his father.

Something's Happening In The Shipping Room In the Day's News (Continued from Page One)' some plants I'd set out with my hands yesterday were doing and to admire the soft velvet of a lawn I'd shaved and manicured myself, a a - AME then the time to read the la teletype ... the teletype is all j agog with what happened in Berlin yesterday . . . there WASN'T any , shooting ... the BIG thing in Ber lin wai the march by the tens of thousands of East German youth who turned out a half million strong i TO PAY HOMAGE. TO SOVIET RUSSIA. Let the teletype take It from here: "Up the Wilhelmstrasso, post the rubble that marks the end of Hit ler's Reich, into Unter den Linden, where the Kaiser's legions and la ter the Nazi hordes used to march, came the blue-shirted youths. . . . ". . . Hour after hour they marched, through rain and sun, CHANTING HYMNS OF HATE against the west and praise for Russia . . . tanned and rugged and I obviously army-disciplined in their dark blue uniforms and black jack boots, they looked much like the wehrmacht forces a few years ago . . . , ". . . The marchers would burst into a frenzy of cheering as they passed the reviewing stand, where German and Russian leaders stood." ' aaa HIT was difficult to tell about the youngsters ... it was impos sible to know how deeply the Soviet HATE-THK-WEST propa ganda had sunk into their minds , . . some looked as though they would have traded the whole af fair for a couple of oranges or a stick of candy . . . they were wet, cold and probably would much rather have been at home, or sight seeing on their own. . . . aaa BUT, the teletype concludes "THERE WAS NO DOUBT OF ONE FACT. ALL WERE AUTO MATONS FIRMLY IN THE GRIP OF THEIR COMMUNIST LEAD ERS. THEY CHEERED WHEN THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO AND DID AS THEY WERE TOLD, WITHOUT QUESTION, IF NOT WITH ENTHUSIASM." aaa SITTING here in my office, look ing out Into the bright sunshine of southern Oregon, with spring in full tide and summer just around the corner, I think I know about those kids. IF THEY COULD HAVE BEEN LET ALONE, they'd have been one in spirit w ith the two youngsters of our organization who sat for a mo ment at my desk this morning and chatted about the high, calm, love ly hills and the Joys of the trail with a park on your back and wood smoke and the odor of frying bacon and the good, honest smell of a pipe all mingling with the fresh, clean scent of the big woods at the end of the day when the sun sinks low and you're tired with good CLEAN tiredness. aaa BUT THEY WEREN'T LEFT ALONE. They are being made pawns of, back there In the rubble of the mined city of Berlin, by a few ambitions men who are scheming mWM gy ViakmMt S. Martin fjf All week I .have been trying to write something for Memorial day. But whatever I have written has gone into the fire. All because of an article in a national magazine recently about the "forgotten m?n" women, too in the veterans hospitals where mental cases are cared for. In the article, full tribute was paid to the Gray Ladies, the Ked Cross, the townspeople in the com munities near the NP hospitals. Then case after case was described where a man received no lattars from relatives ... no call ... no little packages. It told of one man who had a good chance to recover, but loneliness and disappointment overcame him. He gave up the fight to get well . . . now he is one of those whom we honor on Decor ation day. The article gave specific in stances where sisters, brothers. other relatives, lived near enough to visit conveniently but didn't (It also, thank God, related many instances that were heart-warming 1 Of loved ones crossing the country to make a visit to a hos pital, and of faithful visiting on the part of ones nearer.) I have no one even remotely re lated who is in a NP hospital, or Congress Chat HARRIS, ELLSWORTH, M. C. 4th District, Oragon The House of Representatives has just about completed action upon all important bills reported by committees. The only legisla tion in this category upon which the House has not yet acted is the bill to continue rent controls for six months under certain con ditions. The ways and means com mittee is still working on a tax bill. Several public health bills are still in committee as is the bill for aid to medical education and the general Federal-aid to education bill. Some of these bills may be ready for floor action during the ncxt'two or three weeks, but until Ihey are there will be little acti vity on the part of the House. Last year Congress passed the basic legislation designed to put (he recommendations of the Hoo ver commission into effect. The President was given authority to reorganize the executive branch of the government, ine principle re striction placed on his authority was that as he completed reorgan ization plans they were to be sub mitted to Congress. I'nder the terms of the basic act Congress has 60 days in which to look the plans over. If either the Hourse or the Senate disapproves a plan, it is rejected and the President may offer a new one or not, just as he sees fit. Plans which are not re jected within the 60-day period automatically go into effect. In March the President sent 21 plans to Congress. The 60-day time limit has now expired. Five of the plans were killed by the Senate. None was rejected by the House. Six teen are now in effect. Commenting upon the Senate ac tion in rejecting some of the plans, Senaior Butler of Nebraska declar ed the President himself caused their defeat by putting in trick to get into their hands MORE POWER THAN EVER OVGHT TO BE PERMITTED TO BE HELD IN A FEW HANDS. That is the tragic moral of that spectacle in Berlin last Sunday. any kind of hospital for that mat ter. But have known what a joy it was to welcome visitors to my bedside when I was recovering from illnesses or operations. I have not known what it was like to lie lonely and "forgotten" and neglected. I just can't bear to think that could happen to a vet eran who gave so much to keep this country safe and free! It seems to me our first duty is to the living ... I say it as a Gold Star mother. If only Uiere were soma way that the relatives of such "forgotten" men might be contacted made to aa? Of course I should like so much to think that patients in the Roseburg hospital do not know such loneliness, such neglect on the part of relatives. Then there are the veterans who do not need hospitalization who ask only a chance to support a wife and perhaps a baby, too. I have heard such veterans speak with bitter disillusionment about the promises they read and heard while they were still in the service. It is a fine thing to lift a for eign family out of misery and give it a fresh start in what seems a bit of heavan on earth America! But what about the vilirml among ut wha natd obi? phrases. The Senator pointed out . that while pretending to put the Hoover Commission plans into ef fect. Truman really submitted : plans which were designed to con-! centrate power in his own hands j rather than to accomplish ceo nomy. ' 'Reorganization plans numbered 22. 23. 24, and 25 were submitted to Congress by the President on May 9th. These plans will go into effect July 8th unless rejected by either the House or the Senate. In June 1949, nearly a year ago, Congress passed the Public Hous ing Act. The essential purpose of this legislation was to provide low rent housing, at government ex pense. The proponents said an em ergency existed which private builders could not meet people had to have houses right now, ran the argument, so the government must get busy and build them. A year has passed. Not one house or housing unit has yet been built or even started tinder that law. Meanwhile in the same period of time people have built nearly one million houses for themselves. Unemployment Board Sues For Contributions The State Unemployment Com pensation commission of Oregon filed a suit in circuit court Wednes day demanding judgment of $187.36 from Norma Madden, doing busi ness as Ken's Lunch. The suit is to recover payments allegedly due to the unemployment compensation fund from the defendant during the second, third and fourth quar ters of 1949.

LETTERS fo the Editor Air Transport Essential To Lumber Industry Area EMPIRE Our attention has been called to a project for the es tablishment of commercial air transport in Roseburg. We wish to add our voice in strong approval of this develop ment. Our Douglas county inter ests require frequent trips to your city and air transport would have considerable use by ourselves dur ing each year. We are also interested in develop ing a water market for the small mills in your area and have equip ped ourselves to handle such busi ness efficiently and in volume. This will increase our prospective need lor quick access to Koseburg, and our customers will have cor respondingly quick access to Coos Bay when the need arises. May we also add that considera tions of steady mill operation de mand fast service in parts supply. We have found air service to Coos Bay extremely valuable in this re gard and believe it to be essential to every lumber producing area in these days when high costs compel steady operation in the mainten ance of competitive position. Any aid that we can give in the promotion of this project will be gladly extended upon your re quest. - , CAPE ARAGO LUMBER CO. By R. T. Moore, V.P. Auto Industry Sets New Record DETROIT (JP) The auto- indus try has completed the biggest pro duction monin in its history with sales sun booming. Unotficial estimates put the May car and truck output at slightly more than 700,000 units. The previ ous high mark was 663,000 set in August last year. Industry sources generally expect three-quarrters of a million cars and trucks to roll from the assem bly lines in June. If the June pro gram is realized the industry will come to the mid-year point with a total output of more than 3,600,000 vemcles. Most industry executives also be lieve they will reacn tne hali-way mark in 1950 with no indication of a taoerine off in th heoviaut r,A,u car demand since motor vehicles entered tha m,t nrnHi,iinn The car makers' appraisal of the iiiarr.ei is suosiantiany more posi tive than it was in the early weeks ui uie year. At that time most industry heads were reluctant to predict what might be expected beyond the year's first half. Now most of them say they see no let up in demand for new cars during the remainder of this year. Some, like Harry J. Klinger, general manager of Pon tiac motors, say heavy demand for popular makes of cars is likely to continue into 1951. Industry executives also cite a large population shift from cities to suburban areas, with a conse quent increase in the need for cars.
