Hardships Hit
Steel Strikers
PITTSBURGH ( Phillip Mur
ray's striking CIO United Steel-
workers are beginning to show
signs of financial hardship as the
18 day - old walkout bites ever
deeper into the national defense
program.
Waller Klis, president of a big
steelworkers' local at Jones and
Laughlln Steel Corp. in Pittsburgh,
says several requests for financial
assistance have been received from
steelworkers' families.
The powerful union does not pro
vide strike benefits. However, most
of its locals are reported in healthy
financial condition and ready to aid
any hardship cases.
The USW was offered a loan of
10 million dollars by President
John L. Lewis of the United Mine
Workers.
Murray has not commented pub-
licly on the offer but some kind
of answer is expected soon. In the
1949 steel strike, Lewis made a
somewhat similar offer which Mur
ray did not accept.

In the Day's News.
(Continued from Page One)
son about the inconsistencies of
the red position on this exchange
of prisoners business, communist
General Nam II blandly accuses
us again of Incessant atrocities
and slaughtering of war prisoners.
He'd change his tune if we were
strong enough to handle him.
That brings up the $64 question:
Why are we fighting in Korea?
The only intelligent answer, I
think, is that we're fighting there
to prove to the communists that
we can't be bluffed. But it Is be
coming fairly plain that the No. 1
reason for our prisoner trouble on
Koje island is that we HAVEN'T
MEN ENOUGH to man the fight
ing lines and handle 170,000 prison
ers of war at the same time.
It looks like we'd better GET
men enough there to handle the
situation. Otherwise, we may lose
everything we're fighting for in
Korea. ,
More harping on the same
string:
General Rldgway (our new
SHAPE commander In Europe)
arrives in Rome today for a con.
forence with Italian officials.
L'Unita, the communist newspc
per, greets him with this big, black
headline:
"Get out of Italy! GO HOME,
foreigner!"
It's Rugged. It's mean. It's nas
ty. But It's GOOD PROPAGANDA.
Suppose a foreign nation was in
practical control of our country.
Suppose its troops were quartered
among us and its officials were
occupying all our best hotels and
filling all our best restaurants.
Suppose thoy had more money to
spend than we have. Even suppose
that without their help we'd go
bankrupt.
We wouldn't like it.
We'd RESENT IT - bitterly.
Well, that's our position in Italy.
It's our position In France. It's our
position all over Europe. The com
munists are very, very shrewdly
taking advantage of it.
When it comes to propaganda,
they're super-smart.
Meanwhile, this from Camas,
Washington:
"W. L. Howard began his third
day atop a 50-foot pole here this
mornins. He says he plans to
break the national flagpole sitting
record of 163 days. If he does, he
will be on the small platform at
the top of the pole until well
into November.
"He says he won't shave or cut
his hair until he comes down."
FIRE DAMAGE MM
Damage was estimated at S600
in a fire at 10:30 a.m. today which
charred the inside of a trailer
house at the Umpqua Trailer Park,
1642 N. Stephens St. Roseburg fire,
men said the couple residing in
the trailer were at work when the
fire started near the trailer stove.

Sports-Minded j
Veteran Makes
Good On CI Loan
National magazines and other
publications have singled out a
Pacific Northwest World War II
veteran for i lot of publicity re
cently because of his success in
building a G.I. business loan Into
a thriving sports enterprise.
He Is Ray E. Egner, of Belle
vue, Wash., a 35-year-old former
Army man who pooled his sav
ings and a G.I. loan five years
ago and has since paid off his
loan in full, replenished his bank
roll and had to expand his store
several times over to handle his
increased business.
Egner's store is now the center
of sports activities for the Belle
vue arpa, located across Lake
Washington from Seattle, a pros
perous business based on service
to the community as well as dol
lars and cents.
He was fortunate, back In 194T,
in locating a fine corner stora
in the brand-new Bellevue shop
ping square but that's about
as far as luck went toward insur
ing success in business. The rest
took hard work, imagination and
more than a few anxious mo
ments. He invested his entire savings
of $5,500 in sporting merchandise,
and borrowed $3,000 under the
G. I. Bill with the Veterans
Administration guaranteeing half
the amount.
A graduate of the University of
Washington, Egner served as a
lieutenant In the Army during
Wnrtd War II. Before entering mil
itary service, he held jobs as clerk
in a sporting goods store, buyer
of sporting goods and as sales
man for a wholesale sporting
goods company.
Egner is one of 184,000 World
War H veterans in the nation who
have obtained G.I. business loans
amounting to half a billion dol
lars. More than one third of them,
the VA reports, have paid their
loans back in full.
