Increased Social ;
Security Funds
Distributed Here
Last week brought increased so
cial security checks to aged people
in Douglas County and to depend
ent children of retired workers
and young survivors of workers
who have died, according to Claude
E. Dawson, manager of the Eu
gene social security office.
Increases of from $5 to $8.60
each month will go 10 mosi re
tired workers who receive old-age
insurance payments. Dependents
of these retired workers and sur
vivors of workers who have died
will also receive increased bene
fits in most cases. - Increases in
payments to dependents and sur
vivors, however, will be smaller
than the increases for retired work
ers usually from $2 to $5.
' Dawson pointed out that al
though several members of a fam
ily may receive monthlv payments
based on the social security ac
count of a retired or deceased
worker, the law sets limits on the
total amount of monthly payments
to the family. Family payments
are limited to 80 per cent of the
worker's average monthly wage
or to $168.75, whichever is less.
(Because each benefit is paid in

Seavant Starts Across
Atlantic On Tiny Raft '
LAS P ALMAS, Canary Islands
( A French scientist has set out
on a 5,000-mile Atlantic crossing
aboard a tiny raft in an attempt
to prove that men can survive on
the fish and plant life they can
take from the sea.
The 27-year-old physician, D.
Alain Bombard, started drifting
Sunday from the Canary Islands
toward the West Indies. During the
voyage, which he expects to take
about 50 days, he said he would
live on raw fish and plankton, a
small sea organism. He planned
to distill his own fresh water from
the sea. ' '
Bombard carried emergency pro
visions which were sealed by a
notary just before his departure.
He did not take along a radio.
He drifted to the Canary Islands
from Casablanca, Morocco, 600
miles to the northeast.

Coffee Machine
Takes Place Of
Brewing Artists
By RICHARD O'REGAN
VIENNA UT A gleaming, chromium-plated
coffee-making machine
has caused a minor revolution in
the sleepy coffee-houses of Vienna.
The gadget is the Italian "ex-
presso" machine old to Italy, but
a postwar "shocker" for Vienna's
conservative coffee-house proprie
tors. It forces steam through minutely-ground
coffee and produces
a strong, syrupUiick brew served

Vienna's 1,245 coffee-houses were
among the most famous in Eu
rtfpe. For years, they lived on the
reputation of the quiet pace of
their parlors and on their multiple
ways of serving coffee. Coffee
making was looked upon as an art,
to be passed from father to son.

Rulings Anent
T-H Act Slated
In High Court
WASHINGTON W The Su
preme Court Monday agreed to
rule whether unions violate the
Taft-Hartley labor law by causing
members to lose jobs for breaking
union rules.
The issue wai raised In two ap
peals. In one WiUiard Christian
Fowler charged the AFL Radio
Officers' Union caused the Bull
Steamship Company discriminator
ilr to refuse him employment.
In the other, James Frank Bos
ton, i truck driver, charged the
AFL International Brotherhood of
Teamsters, Local No. 41, caused
the Byeri Transportation Company
to deprive him of , work assign
ments. The Taft-Hartley act makes it
an unfair labor practice for a un
ion to try to cause an employer to
discriminate against a worker, in
violation of a sub-section of the
act.
The sub-section makes it an un
fair labor practice for an employer
bv discrimination in regara w
hire or anv term or condition of
employment to encourage or uia
courage membership in any labor
organization,
Ruling Hits Union
In the first case Involving the
T.ft.Hartw net. Fowler said he
was accused of violating union rules
by not getting "clearance" irom
a union otliciai Deiore msniug i
rangements to take a job on a
Bull Company vessel, the S. S.
Frances, in New York.
The company, unable to get a
union O.K. on Fowler, gave the
job to another man provided by
the union.
The National Labor Relations
Board, and later the U. S. Circuit
Court in New York, decided the
union violated the Taft-Hartley sec
tion. The union appealed to the Su
preme Court to overturn the deci
sions. I tcontended they were bas
ed on an assumption that discrima
tory conduct constituted "in
herent" encouragement of union
membership.
In the truck driver's case, Bos
ton failed to pay his union dues for
June,- 1950 until July s, iao. men
he paid up for June and July.
About July IS his union compiled
a new job seniority list, reducing
his standing from 18th to sttn, the
bottom spot.
Tlw union submitted the list to
The Byers Company. As a result
Boston said he was deprived of
job assignments which he would
otherwise have obtained.
The NLRB found this seniority
reduction c6nstituted discrimina
tion against Boston and said it
must have "encouraged" union
members to pay dues promptly,
thui maintaining their member
ship in good standing.
The board said the union violat
ed the Taft-Hartley section, but
its ruling was set aside by the U.S.
Circuit Court in St. Louis. The
board then appealed to the Su
preme Court. t
