(AP Wirephoto) Government's Mobilization Program Bitterly Assailed By Disgruntled Labor Heads Bv JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON (AP) Organized labor, with a stronger voice than it ever had in World War II because it's more united now, has said "whoa" to the government's mobilization program; This sudden stiff stand of labor may bring a crisis in the program unless it's soothed by concessions from the Truman administration. Labor's first emphatic stand was taken when three labor representatives on the Wage Stabilization board walked out. They didn't like the wage policy decided upon by the other six members three from business, three representing the public. And now there is a possibility labor might pull its representatives done with and through the united out of other agencies in the mo-1 labor policy committee, bilizalion program unless it gets It was this committee which told what it considers a more impor- the labor members o the wage tant say-so in the whole show. ! board to walk out.

'Additionally, the State depart ment report based on "current in telligence" said, the East German Communist party on Jan. 15 be gan a large scale purge of its ranks aimed at eliminating weak linki. The department's office of pub lic affairs gave this information in an official publication picturing the background . o f recent Soviet pressures on Germany. The report came just when the Big Four powers appeared to be nearing agreement on plans for a "peace" conference. It questioned whether Russia really wants a Big Four meeting. Unless the powers can agree on discusing basic dif ferences other than Germany there would be little point in meet ing, it said. The blast followed by a few hours the delivery In Moscow of the latest notes by the United States, Britain and France propos ing a preliminary session ol the foreign ministers' deputies in Paris oa March 5. Moscow already has agreed to a discussion by the deputies of subjects to be taken up if a Big F'our conference is held, but insists that German rearma ment is the top issue. The department termed "ab surd" a Russian proposal to talk about Germany alone. "Without agreement on the agentla there would be little ooint in having a conference," the State department said. "Even wiin agreement on the subjects to be discussed, it would be an extraor dinary conference that could re solve such differences as have al ready produced a war in Asia. "By their very nature, the So viet notes have aroused teriouf doubts that the Kremlin actually wants a conference. Past experi ence and current intelligence have made the U. S. skeptical on the Kremlin's good faith." . Ample Gasoline For All Assured For This Summer By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK W There'll be enough gasoline for all the Sunday drivers and all the military forcei this summer, without rationing and with about the same octane rating they now buy barring an all-out war. Oil economists say they feel sure of this, but they add: The defense program still in its warming-up stage may put pressure on oil at the industrial-Dower and home- heating levels. The industry has the facilities to meet demands as now foreseen, but there might be a right pinch. " " And it could cost $5 billion or more, some oil economists esti- mate, to put the nation's oil facil ities into a comfortable position to meet all military, industrial mo bilization, and civilian -demands in this highly seasonal industry ana be reaay lor emergencies. The nation is expected to want 10 percent more gasoline this sum mer than last. The oil industry has the facilities to provide it, and the petroleum administration for defense says today it has aban I doned its play to put ceilings on i civilian gasoline octanes. ! Military demand for gasoline will be only about five percent of the total consumed. Last year the armed services took an average of 240,000 barrels a day, and this year's daily average my rise to 375,000. It need not affect civilian supplies. The real rub if there is one would come next winter. The rap idly increasing demand for oil products needed to power and heat the nation's expanding industrial plant, run its trains and ships, heat a sizable portion of its homes all will reach the usual sea sonal peak next winter, with de fense production needs added. To meet the expected new record demands the industry must make and store more surplus fuel oil this summer than it did last, oil economists are warning the industry- The American Petroleum insti tute puts refinery capacity at 6,- 732.200 barrels a day. against only 4.956.599 in 1941. Last year de I mand for oil products went ip 670,000 barrlcs a day, and this I year demand is exn cted to in : crease another 550,000 barrels a I day. Steel Cut Faces Auto Industry Coming Quarter WASHINGTON m -Steel for passenger cars and other con sumer durable goods will be cut 20 percent during the second quar ter of this year below the average quarterly level of the first half of 1950. The reduction program, an nounced by the National Produc tion authority (NPA), will apply to radio and television sets,' wash ing machines and other household appliances, furniture, utensils and a number of olher products. NPA officials said average quar terly passenger car production dur ing Vie first half of last year was about 1,550,000. Manufacturers will be limited to 80 percent of the steel that went Into these cars. They will be free to make as many cars with this steel as thev I can.

(AP) Dr. E. Fay Campbell of Philadelphia warns that Protestant colleges as a result of the rational emergency face the most critical struggle for survival since the civil war. He urged adoption of emergency financial measures by supporting churches to keep the colleges going. Dr. Campbell is executive di- rector of the 80-member commis sion on Christian higher educa tion of the newly-formed National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U. S. A. His statements were in a speech prepared for de livery before leaders of more than 30 Protestant denominations at the first session of the commission. Dr. Campbell pointed to dwind ling college enrollments and re sulting financial losses because of (he draft and tlefonse jobs. But the biggest loss, he added, in the morale of American youth of col lege age, "who seems to have lost his grip on the future." "None yet is on the verge of closing," Dr. Campbell said, "but many Protestant affiliated in stitutions now are wrestling with the problem of how they may stay open beyond next June." Some of these colleges, he added, are older than the United States. Dr. Campbell said the 475 Prot estant - related colleges and 'uni versities have assets of $500,000, 0O0 in buildings and $600,000,000 in endowments. For an enrollment of 450,000 students, there are 25, 000 teachers, he added. These colleges, the Philadelphian continued, may accept tuition from tries during a transition into de fense work. He said it will permit continued production of consumer durable goods at very high levels "in most instances, at levels never at tained before 1949 and 1950." Percent Of Recoveries ' From War Wounds Upped BALTIMORE t.'P) Ninety eight percent of the wounded American soldiers treated in Ko rea recover, an. army medical of ficer reported. Col. Laurence A. Potter, assis tant chief of medical plans, and' operations in the office of the army surgeon general told 350 reserve medical officers this represents a big gain over previous records. During World War II, he said. 96 percent of the wounded re covered. And during the first world war 92 percent pulled through. Col. Potter said the .oslMe menace, has been emphasized Too greatly. Ninety percent of the frostbite victims are treated in the area, he said, and only 10 percent have to be evacuated tiv-Vie United States.

In surveying the present situa tion, Dr. Campbell said some lib eral arts colleges with high aca demic standing even before the emergency were operating with the worst deficits in their history. The immediate effect of the call for manpower, he asserted, has been to- create an "impossible sit uation." ZEGERS- (ombinah iott DURA-SEAL ACTUALLY COSTS LESS THAN MOST STANDARD UNITS.

Goldy approved a contract pro viding for the reconstruction of the Hellgale bridge across the Rogue river on the Merlin-Galice county road. The contract, which provides for bridge reconstruction and the im provement of bridge approaches at a cost of approximately $62,000, was awarded to Grosberk and Ilickson, contractors at Eugene, by the Portland office of the Bu reau of Public Roads with the con currence of the Bureau of Land Management. Work on the project, the first to be undertaken by the B. L. M. in western Oregon for the improvement of timber access roads, is to be completed by Sept. 1, 1951.

South Korean Soldier Still Lacks Qualities Necessary To Cope With Chinese Reds By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (AP( The fate of Korea In the long run depends on G. I. Kim. He's the native equivalent of G. I. Joe. And when G. I. Joe finally goes home it is going to be up to private Kim to defend his own country. Whether he can do it is doubtful. For after nearly eight months of war the stature of- Private Kim as a sol dier is still in question. No one is sure just what he can do and can t do in combat. Right now a fresh army of 200, 000 to 300.000 Private Kims is being built up in South Korea. It should be ready for action some time this spring and put new punch into to Republic of Korea's fighting power. "The big problem with the ROKS is that they simply won't fight the Chinese on an overall basis," said an American staff officer. "They are scared to death of them. A few units have stood up well against the Chinese, but others just disintegrated completely." There are many reasons for this. Here are three: 1. The average South Korean recruit hasn't had enough basic training to take the shock of major battle. 2. He knowi that for centuries In the orient Korea was known as "little brother" and China as "big brother." 3. The ROK divisions are smaller than American divisions and lack their artillery and tank strength. Rice Crop Chief Interest What kind of a fellow is Private Kim generally, he is a rather dazed young country boy who has spent most of his life padding around a rice paddy. He doesn't have- much education and knows little about the clash of interna tional ideologies that has made his land a bloody battleground. His chief interest ia in his family and his rice crop. Going into Ine army was to him a shattering experience. He may have had only ten days of train ing fired one clip from his rifle before he was put into the front lines. He has been told that he is now a soldier, but he doesn't really feel like one. No body in his family ever was a soldier. All he feels is lost and lonely and homesick. Is it any wonder that Private Kim often drops his rifle and heads back full speed in the gen eral direction of the rice paddy he remembers best? Has Making of Soldier But basically he has everything it takes to make a first class fighting man. He is stoical. He can FROM FOREST TO FIREPLACE...

"These men should be the equal of any soldiers in the world," said one American officer. He added thoughtfully: "All they really need is the tra dition of victory." But lt'i up to Private Kim to atart that tradition himself. - - ITCHi iftcftfliMt la tUathiy oav tafiou aod will Con tinue for Ut U do topped it ioi caua ti th itch mitt, which u immun to ordinary treatment EXSORA killa in Itch-mite aim oat Instantly Only tnr daya EXSORA treatment la required.
