Utti anthi lt.1l. THE LAND OF "THE FREE? If Need Be By Charles V. Stanton If you are one of the radio audience listening to broad casts by striking members of The, News-Reveiw'-i compos ing room crew you doubtless have heard frequent references to "guinea pigs." You have been told that we are trying to wreck the International Typographical union by refusing to permit the union to control all new type-producing processes and all processes preparatory to production of type. The ITU spokesman has said repeatedly that "Boss Jenkins" is using Roscburtr and Klamath Falls newspapers experimentally in an effort to prevent the union from obtaining its "rights." f you have been inclined to believe those statements, you must have been confused if you also read in Friday's News-Review the Associated Press dispatch from Tex arkana., Tex., reporting that the ITU had lifted the charter of the Local at Hot Springs, Ark., lecause printers there refused to obey an order to strike. Printers at Hot Springs were satisfied with their jobs and voted against a strike. Unions at Texarkana and Eldorado walked out, as they did at Roseburg and Klamath Falls, presumably ordered to do so bv international headquarters. The three affected papers in Texas and Arkansas are published by C. E. Palmer, who told The Associated Press that the strike was called because he refused to grant union jurisdiction over teletypesetter processes. Propaganda Methods One of the most common of propaganda practices Is to charge the victim of the propaganda campaign with the illegal or unfair practice ' which actually was initiated against him. Thus, here at Roseburg and in Klamath Falls, The. News-Review and Herald and News are being accused of being "subsidized" by publishers to initiate "guinea pig" experiments to break the ITU. Actually, the reverse is true. Small daily newspapers are being subjected to strikes by tho ITU in an effort to force jurisdiction on the industry. Scores of strikes, identical to the one in Roseburg, are in progress in widely scattered parts of the country. Take, for instance, the case of ITU printers at Fort Smith, Ark. They conducted satisfactory negotiations cover ing wages and hours with Publisher Donald W. Reynolds. They signed a contract. The ITU refused to ratify the con tract because it contained no clause for jurisdiction over new processes. The Loral, on the other hand, was satisfied and voted against a strike. The ITU moved in, revoked tTie union's charter, can celled the contract with the publisher, and ordered the printers to find jobs in other plants or other locations, giving them a limited time in which to obey the edict. The revocation of the ITU charter at Fort Smith occured last June 2G, the day the Roseburg local called a strike against The News-Review. Bulletin Tells The Story If you still are not convinced that the publishers rather than workers are being used as "guinea pigs," you might consider a bulletin circulated to ITU members through out the nation by the independent party within the ITU. Under a heading "Randolph Pledges More jStrikes, More Assessments", tho bulletin says: At a special union moating hold In Chicago on Fob. 5, 1950, Prosldont Randolph again donnod tho robes ot tho prophot of doom and submitted to tho mombors of No. to futura program for tho ITU, calling for moro strikes and moro assessments. Randolph furthor ttatad that tho largo local appoarod now woll "under control" duo to tho "glorious victory" ho (and hit MCOOO-a-yoar lawyers) negotiated with tho Chicago publishers in settling tho long strike in I1-' But ho warned thoro Is much new danger on tho horhor and that thoro aro so many smalltown publishers who must ba "put in their piece" that tho present M, 000,000 in tho de fense fund will only be a drop In the bucket and tho member ship must bo prepared for moro assessments. We believe these historical facts furnish ample evi dence that the local ITU spokesman is not telling the truth when he charges the publisher with making "guinea ni"-s" of "hometown" workers. The exact reverse is true. ITU is striving through tyranny and dictatorship to impose its will upon the small dailies and thereby gain more unjustified control over the industry. They Prate of Protection Propiignndists for the ITU prate of the place of their organization in "protecting the rights of the workingman." What kind of "protection" is being given when sat isfied workmen are ordered to quit their jobs, sell their homes and move to new locations? What kind of "pro tection" is the ITU giving when it throws hundreds of its members out of their jobs to walk picket lines in scores of small cities throughout the country? What kind of "pro tection" is it when the issue concerned in all those strikes would not put one more dollar into the pocket of the work ingman or affect his job security? What kind of "pro lection" is it that forces the workman into the ranks of the unemployed for the one and only purpose of giving the ITU, as an organization, more power over management. Can we continue to call this country "The land of the free and the home of the brave." when the laboring man can be forced to dance like a puppet at the end of a string, and the public exposed to threats and intimidation at the will of tyrannical dictators? s ESS"? By KuAewtt S. Martini Of all the funny talcs we' have heard about the antics of a pack rat, the one told us last evening by a friend and neighbor, Bernell Gnjns, about !he eastern Oregon experience of his sister-in-law and her husband, is the funniest. Mrs. Payne was standing watch ing her husband do some work with the "cat," work that included pushing over an old building. The landlord also stood near Mrs. Payne, walching. Suddenly from the debris out shot a huge packrat heading straight for Mrs. Payne. She fled towards the house, taking a fence and a woodpile as if she had wings. The landlord, whom I shall have to call Mr. X, grabbed a stick for club and fell in behind the pack rat, all three traveling at top speed in the same line. The astounded man on the "cat" saw nothing of the packrat. It appeared to him as if Mr. X had suddenly become de mented and was chasing the lady with lethal intent. He lost no time in becoming No. 4 in the race, only he thought himself No. 3, his one idea being to slop, and stop per manently, the man with the club before he could harm the fleeing Mrs. Payne. The door slammed behind his wife. A second later a door slam med again, and Mr. Payne assum ed that meant pursuer and pur sued were inside the house . . . he sprinted in what may have been a world's record-shattering speed! Bursting through the door he found his wife breathless, unharmed and alone! A sudden racket in an adjoining room located the man with the club who was using it in a deter mined effort to finish off Mr. Packrat. The furious and breath less husband collapsed no reliev ed laughter, and through! he never would be able to stop laughing. The man with the club finished off the victim, with some damage to the pail in which the rat had finally taken refuge , . . And from then on Mrs. Payne was able to lay things down with out having them mysteriously dis appear! In the packrat's nest were found such items as a missing slip) stockings, and various other lost articles. For some time the men folks in the house had been doing their level best to outwit the pack at' and catch 'him, but without success. Locals Expected Hero Mr. and Vis. Clyde Beard and daughter, Mari lyn, and son, Donald, of The Dalles, are expected to arrive in Kn.schurg this weekend to visit at the home of Mr. and Mrs. II. R. Brand and family in Westmoreland.

Youngsters Sign For Swim Classes Reedsport Housing Survey By County Authority Reveals Unsafe, Unsanitary Places Mora than half of the privately owned dwellings covered in t recent housing aurvey of telected sections of Reedsport are below standards for aafe and tanitary housing, the Housing authority of Douglas county revealed this week in reporting on its investigation of tho need for homes for low-income families in that area.

(Continued from Page One) reds who are going around our flank hope to get in behind us and trap us and CAPTURE us. According to all accounts, the commies are seeking to throw an other flanking column around us on the east. What they hope is to bring these two flanking columns together BEHIND US. This is from Washington: "A Pentagon briefing otficcr (the Pentagon is the building in Wash ington that houses the war depart ment) says American forces will HOLD somewhere south of the Kuin river and get built up for our offensive. He did not prerict where the stand would be made." Where will the stand be made' I don't know of course. But if you will get out your map we can do some guessing among ourselves. There are no more rivers cross ing the Korean peninsula from east to west. So that is out. Well have to stand without the defense of a river in front of us. Keep going down your map until you come to the southeasternmost tip of the pe ninsula. There you will find a town named Pusan (on your map it may be called Fusan; they are one and the same). Pusan has a minor riv er coming down from the north. We might be able lo get behind it for whatever last stand defense it might offer. Pusan is the port through which we have been bringing men and supplies into South Korea. If we can hold this port, we mav be able to KEEP ON BH1NGNG IN MEN AND SUPPLIES until in time we might build up enough strength to mount a counter-offensive and drive the commies back to the north. That, I suppose, is what this briefing officer in the Pentagon (a "brieling officer" is one who tells the correspondents and others con cerned what it's all about) has in mind when he says well make a stand somewhere south of the Kum and "get built up for our offen sive It's about all there is left to do.

A total of 102 homes lacked oo or more basic facility such as hot and cold running water, bath- ing provisions or inside flush toilets. "The survey was not restricted . to the city limits, but covered sec- j tions outside which are considered part of the housing area of Reeds port," said H. L. Scofield, execu tive director of the Housing autho rity which directed the aurvey. 'Our aim was to determine the extent of substandard housing and the number of low-income families with veteran status so we could learn how many units of low-rent housing will be needed here, and how large the units should be. Al though, no doubt, a number of sub standard dwellings were missed, the survey reveals that there is need for the 15 units which have been reserved for Reedsport by the Public Housing administration as part of the national low-rent housing program." Bad Conditions Listed - In the homes surveyed, eight were without running water, and 36 had cold water only inside. Twenty shared inside flush toilets; 59 had no inside toilet facilities. Forty-four were without either tub or shower for bathing, and 36 share bath facilities with other families. Two homes were without electric ity. - : Half of the tenants in substand-: ard housing paid over $35.50 per ! month rent for housing alone; with utility charges included,' the figure I was $44.80 per month. About 60 percent of the tenants of units meeting housing standards were paying over $50 rent per month. Less than two percent of the rental units surveyed were vacant and available for rent. The survey showed that 66 per cent of the families living in sub standard housing in Reedsport in clude minor children. Forty - two percent of the families have vet erans as members. Fifteen percent lacked either a father or a mother. Income-wise, tenants of sub standard housing likewise were not getting the breaks. Eighty-six per cent of families with incomes un der $3,000 who were renting defi cient, housing were paying out more than a fifth of their income in rent. The enumeration, which was completed in March, covered 256 units in multiple dwellings. All single-family structures and 87 families surveyed were of the white race; no trailer houses were cov ered in Reedsport, Similar sur veys were made in Roseburg and ty.
