OREGON. WAGES HIGH
Just As Sure As Night Follows Day
J'y Charles V. Stanton
In cnnrdion villi the labor trouble beinjf experienced
Itv The Xnws-Iieviow, an announcement by the State Un
employment Comppiisation commission is particularly in-1
Icrost ni'.r.
Thi commission reports that "after leading the nation
in hourly ami weekly ra miners in April, Oregon's production
workers established even higher marks in May."
Oieiron's production workers earned higher wages than
in any other state.
Knibloycs in printing and publishing had the highest
hourly rate of all Oregon workers, average weekly wages
advancing sharply from ?78.16 to $83-27, as compared
to ;t new high of $(0.!M for workers in non-durable goods
and a drop from .$i9.:',2 to $66.66 for paper products work
ers. Lumber and logging earnings set a new high of $73.33;
workers in durable goods received more than ever before
at $71.02 a week.
According to this report, employes in printing and pub
lishing were the highest paid class of workers in the nation.
The wage scale offered by The News-Review, $2.25 per
hour for a ."7 12 hour week, is as high as paid by any-other
daily rewspaper in Oregon. Yet, The News-Review is
charged with being "unfair."
lint, continuing with the Unemployment Compensation
commission's report, it is stated that averages for produc
tion workers employed in more than 400 Oregon plants show
earnings of $1.7H per hour and $69.47 per week in May,
compared with $1.75 and $68.79 in April.
J!v way of comparison, other top states included Michi
gan ?(8. if, Wyoming $67.47, Washington $66.93-and Cali
fornia $62.9-1.
Kor the unfile nation $,")6.93 was the average weekly
rale with durable goods at $6112 and non-durables $52.17.
Editorial Comment

Cock To T!i3 Caves ,
By BILL JENKINS
Editor Klamath Falls Herald & News
A recent A? dispatch carried this message: "Numerous
casunliies wore reported among the Red ground troops caught
in a storm cf rockets, bembs, machine gun bullets and for
the first announced time the jelly-like explosive called
Mctnahn. Ths incendiary liquid, composed of gasoline mixed
in a secret saap-l'.ks substance, is carried in special belly tanks.
The tanks are cropped end explode on contact, spraying flaming
gasolina in oil directions.
A new wc:p-n of war. A war fought, of course, to
preserve the peace. No war is ever fought for any other
reason, apparently. When you think of the new weapons of de
struction it is hard to keep your mind from looking backward.

thousand years ao. Squatted in the entrance Is a squat, hairy

putting a keen cubing edge on it. When man Invented the

was using it to "defend the peace of his cave" against intruders
v.ho moved into the same volley with him.
Later i.i history another of the cave dwellers stumbled
I lie idej of the bow and arrow. I can picture him now,
putting the finishing touches on his creation " and thinking
to himself "hoy, this weapon will be so terrible it will end war
fsr c!l time."
The ago of armored knights came and with it came use of
the broadsword, the crossbow and the battering ram. Then
came gunpowder. Then enme high explosives. Then planes
and finclly poison cjns.
1-or years people said that poison gas was such a terrible
weapon thnt another war would never be fought. Then came
world wjr two, fought despite poison gas, little of which was
used except in the burning pits of German concentration camps.
At the end of the war came the atom bomb.
When we first read of the A-bomb we all thought again
that here wes a weapon that would end war. Now we have
nlrcad' developed, tiicy tell us, a helium bomb that makes
the atom boirb look like a plaything for the children.
We etc ol.r.ost beck to that cave on the hillside. The
only inference will be that we aren't as well prepared to

shelter as wus cur predecessor. After the H-bombs have blown

After the Long Beach earthquake
the gas was not turned on any
where until each line and each
house had been inspected for safe
ty. So for some time folks made
out as best they could for cooking
and bathing, the latter being most
ly what an aunt who had home
steaded used to call the 'lick-and-a-promise
kind. So when a friend
had water and heat before we did,
she promptly urged us .to "come
and have baths" and we lost no
time enjoying a good hot "soak.
This Is the third day now we
have been making out with lick-and-a-promisf
bathing. Not only
that, but I keep turning on the fau
cet and when no water runs I feel
OPEN HOUSE will be held to
day from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.,
with members, employes and
the general public invited to
view the newly-completed, mod
ernistic home of the Douglas
Electric Cooperative. The new
building, located on 'Highway
99 north ebout a quarter of a
mile from the Garden Valley
junction, features the very latest
in building and room design,
lighting and use of eye-ease
colors. The structure was built
at a cost of about $64,000,
excluding the cost of the lot
and equipment. Manager Har

think any evidence we have so
(ar showa that to be a (act."
What does he think is happening
to the enemy?
Well, he comments that uie Norm
Koreans are taking "terrific can-
headquarters estimates Red cas
ualties, "uenerai uacArtnura
that accurate figures are impos
sible. ) The briefing officer thinks
perhaps our strategic bombing is
begining to show on supplies reach
ing the enemy front. "Strategic"
bombing, you know, is bombing lar
to the nemy's rear, smashing up
hia supplies, knocking out nis
trucks and railroad trains, and so
on. No army ever yet was able
to fight without supplies.
The briefer in the Pentagon also
refers lo dispatches telling that
only four Commie tanks have been
seen in the past day. That, he
says, "is a good sign." He adds.
"It might be that the enemy is
GETTING LOW ON GASOLINE."
It might, indeed. There isn't too
much gasoline in that part of the
world. You must have noted that
the British have shut off the petrol
they had been sending into Com
munist China.
So much for the goodish -news.
This paragraph is grimmer:
"A Red force to the east (of 0 in
line at Taejon) poses a serious
threat. General MacArthur's head
quarters report the Reds are mov
ing reinforcements to their fifth di
vision driving southward from Tan
yang, 60 miles northeast of Tae
jon, STRIKING FOR AMERICAN
SUPPLY LINES." .
This Commie column is trying
an end run around our right flank.
It is heading down a long, more
or less flat, valley that leads to
Pusan. Pusan has been our port
of entry for our campaign so far
in Korea. Here the ships come
and discharge their cargoes. Here
the cargo planes land at a big air
port. This paragraph is from a dis
IF THE COMMIES STRIKE
CLEAR THROUGH AND REACH
THEIR OBJECTIVE, PUSAN
WILL CEASE TO BE A PORT OF
ENTRY AND WILL BECOME A
PORT OF EMBARKATION. Be
cause of the way the roads and
the railroads run, if we have to
face a Dunkerque it will probably
be at Pusan.
THIS PARAGRAPH IS FROM A
patch sent by Bill Moore, one of
the correspondents at the fight
ing front. It is grimmer still:
"Thirty wounded American sol
diers are reported tonight to have
BEEN SHOT TO DEATH ON
THEIR LITTERS by the North Kor
eans who swarmed across the
Kum river Sunday night."
Do you remember, from your
school histories, the name of Gen
ghis Khan? And of Attila? Well,
these Russian Communists, who arc
backing the North Korean Com
munists, who are doing this shoot-1
ing of wounded men and prisoners, I
are racial descendants of Ganghis !
Khan and Attila.

Two Sutherlin Dogs
Victims Of Poisoner v
SUTHERLIN Last Saturday
evening and late Sunday afternoon
our pet Dachshund and two other
neighborhood dogs met with sud
den death. The cause? Poisoning.
The evidence? Partially eaten and
regurgitated "hot dogs." The type
of poison is, at this writing, un
known. An analysis will answer
that question.
I do not wish to comment now
on the distortion and depravity of
the mind that conceived and per
petrated such a crime; nor do I
wish to comment on what the loss
of our pets has meant to us any
rhetoric on the subject would be
superfluous to a dog lover and in
comprehensive to the maniacal
crank who killed our dogs. But I
do wish to point out the urgency of
tracing crimes of this nature to
their- source.
You see, I have two chubby lit
tle children who are very fond of
eating and who have not the least
a.-ersion to a little garnish of dirt
on their food. The poisoned "hot
dogs" would have been a tempt
ing snack for them but "Sophie'
found them first. The next time
poisoned food is put out for a dog,
its vicim may instead be a child.
