Farm Bureau's
Head Hits Price,
Wage Controls
All segments of U. S. economy
were urged to end price and wage
controls on their expiration date of
June 30, by Oreson Farm bureau
President Marshall Swearingen.
He addressed officers and mem
bers of Douglas and Josephine
County Farm bureaus at their re
gional meeting Monday evening in
the Grange Supply building.
Speaking on "Common Sense In
flation versus Politically Inspired
Price and Wage Controls," Swear
ingen said the nation could be
strengthened bv a free choice sys
tem that has given It world lead
ership. "Our present objective is two
fold," he stated. "We seek to avoid
a third World War and we want
to preserve our 'American way.'
In our opinion we cannot do the
one without doing the other.
"Our only hope of maintaining
and enhancing our strength to a
degree to discourage aggression is
to build our own system and to
continue in an atmosphere of in
dividual liberty and incentive to do
the things at which we excel," he
added.
According to Swearingen, price
controls are not the solution. They
decrease the supply of items
needed by consumers and use a
reservoir of manpower in regu
latory control, which could be em
ployed in industries producing
goods necessary to end the conflict.
He said the answer is in a com
mon sense inflation control pro
gram that Includes (1) increased
production, (2) strict governmental
economy, (3) pay-as-we-go taxa
tion, (4) effective credit controls
and (5) sound management of the
public debt.
"The test resls with the average
American today," Swearingen con
cluded, "do we tighten our belt,
work longer and harder, and come
out a free people where a man's
soul is his own? Or do we follow
the black road to financial and
moral ruin?"

Communists Maneuver
For Major Assault
(Continued from Page y
Fourth field armies met in
Pieping with the Soviet comman
der of the Dairen area.
It waa agreed, the report added,
that the Chinese would launch their
first attack to take Seoul with 370,
000 men.
In the second phase, they would
ram in another 350,000 troops and
strike for Tuejon, about 90 air
miles southeast of Seoul.
The. third wave would throw
more than 1,000.000 Reds into the
final push to drive soldiers of 14
United Nations into the sea.
If the first fighting did not go
well, the report said, then the So
viets would bolster the Chinese
air force for later phases.
In these massed assaults, ine
Chinese soldier is used as a sort
of kamikaze infantryman. .
He is given up to 10 days rice,
a few hand grenades and if
lucky a rifle, burpgun or ma
chinegun. His unit then is launched at the
Allied lines. When it is shot to
pieces another unit attacks. Then
another, and another, in human
sea waves.

Two Truck Bills
Face Referendum
SALEM -IIP) A referendum
attack was launched here Monday
against bills to increase truck
taxes, reduce the load limits for
log trucks, and to levy stiff pen
alties for overloading.
The preliminary referendum pe
titions were filed with the State
department by Douglas E. Savoy,
Portand, pubisher of the State
Review, a newsnaner which serves
the logging industry.
If 16,000 signatures are obtained
on the petitions by August 1, then
the bills would be on the Novem
ber, 1952, election ballot. They
couldn't become law until the peo
ple voted.
One bill, house bill 465, increases
truck tuxes about $1 600.00" a vear.
However, no referendum Is
planned against a companion bill,
which would reduce the license
plate fees for trucks about $600,000
a year.
So. while the legislature intended
by the two hills to bring about an
overall $1,000,000 annual increase,
a successful referendum attack on
H.B. 465 would actually result in
a f00,000 reduction.
The two bills together would re
sult in an average truck tax In
crease of 7 percent, but with a 35
percent boost for the big long-haul
truckers.
The other bill being attacked,
house bill 462, would abolish the 10
percent "tolerance" for log
trucks. Under this tolerance, the
log truckers have been allowed to
carry loads up to 10 percent over
weight without penalty.
