Asia Biggest War Risk Area, Marshall Argues (j (Continued from Pago 1) that is very critical loathe Soviet Union in that they now are in com plete accord with the Chinese Com munist government so far as we know, and they have a treaty of accord. "Tkvt is being imperiled, I would assume, and my associates have assumed, by what is happening to the Commuist forces in Aorea. "Therefore, the situation as to the possible actions of the Soviet governent is a more acute one by far than that in western Eu rope because if they lose a close community of interests and coop erative arrangement with China at this time, that would be a very great loss to them of something they now possess. "Here is a situation where the Chinese can be brought to feel, by continued highly destructive losses, that the Soviets have let them down. Therefore, the situa tion is more dangerous." Hickenloopor Disagrees Hickenlooper said ne was unable to agree fully with Marshall's view. "It seems to me," he said, "that if the Soviet interest is so much in accord with that of the Commu nist Chinese, that that interest would dictate that they would see the Communist Chinese through to victory in spite of anything. "And if we continue as we are in Korea and the Communist Chi nese face what may seem to be certain defeat, under that policy, that by that same argument the Russians are going to come in anyway to save them from that deleat." Hickenlooper added that "we might just as well take after them back in Manchuria with our bomb ers and destroy their build-up de pots and so on, because the rea soning would seem to dictate that Russia would come in just as quickly one way as the other." Marshall commented that "of course, that is bound to he a mat ter of judgement." Hickenlooper agreed. GRANGE MEETS ! Camas Valley Grange 521 held a business meeting Tuesday, May 8. There was an agricultural re port and a Home Economics club report. The men furnished the refresh. , ments and the program in honor of Mothers day. A play, Gather j ing Nuts In May, was presented. Q 0 I TO OUR The meeting held at 1:30 p.m. May 9th between the Conciliator, the Union and the Company followed the usual pattern. Once more the Committee did nothing but talk about past grievances. The Company pointed out that any grievances that had been presented to the Management had been taken care of very satisfactorily. To this the Committee had to agree. The Company pointed out very emphatically that any foreman or supervisor who interfered with grievance procedure was subject to dismissal. It was the opinion of the Conciliator that there was nothing wrong with the grievance procedure, provided it was followed, that existed under the old contract, which is the same as that offered by the Company in the proposed new contract. The Conciliator also Informed the Committee that there was nothing the Company could do when the Corn pany knew nothing of a grievance. i John Gamblin of the Willamette Valley District Council, as spokesman for the Union, Informed the Company that the Union insisted on complete capitulation, and that the Union would not even consider submitting a new proposal. In other words, it was up to the Company to accept the Union proposal as it stood. The Company informed the Union that their proposal was illegal and that the Company would not consider giving in to any of the Union's ridiculous demands. Further that the last Company proposal, a copy of which you have, still stood. Your prospects of returning to w ork under the Union's demands are just the same as the day you were called out on strike. As told you in previous letters, all the Company hears In these meetings is arguments about grievances and criticism of foremen and super visors. This can continue Indefinitely. How do you expect to ever return to work? You should know by this time that the Company cannot possibly consider the Union agree ment or operate under it. You can live under the Company contract and live well. Yet the Union continues on a one-way deal. That is out. When you realize that the Company cannot consider an agreement under which it cannot operate, and that is all that your Union is offering, you will realize that you will never go back to work under those conditions. There is something you can do about it if you put your shoulders to the wheel and In the right direction. Yeu have been out seven weeks now. How much have you lost and how much are you going to lose? a u a a a a a D si a D a Q D D D D a a THE MARTIN BROTHERS BOX COMPANY o Looting Occurs At Chain Saw Fire Theft of fishing rods, reels and an electric motor from the Pa cific Chain S?v huilding, while firemen were fighting the blaze there tuo nigi.ts -j iv;. . .ej by Fire Chief Wil'itm .''. Mi' s Persons were seen taking the items and are known, said Mills. He further stated that if the items are returned, no questions will be asked. However, if they are not re turned, the guilty persons will be prosecuted, he said. Chief Mills pointed out the se riousness of looting during a fire or other disaster. "It is like stealing from the blind," he said. "The owners are suffering enough loss in the fire, let alone additional loss from thievery." He cited incidents in major dis asters and in times of war, when looters .have been shot on sight and questions were -'-'t t He said this is not the first time looting has occurrcci .iere during a fire.

Dewey agreed with MacArthur in advocating more aid and free dom of action to Chiang Kai-shek and recognition of rormosa s im portance to Japanese and Ameri can defense.

No recognition ever of R e d China, and use of the veto if needed to keep her out of the U. N. 3. A free Formosa, never permit ted at any time to fall into Com munist hands. 4.
