Business, Labor Put Up Bulk Of Money To Back, Fight Right-To-Work Laws By NORMAN WALKER ! WASHINGTON ( AP ) Business and labor are putting up the bulk of the money to finance the ex pensive ca m p a i g n s for and against state right-to-work laws. The laws, already in effect in 18 states, will be an issue on the ballot in at least five and probably six states in the November elec tions. Such a law bars employers und labor unions from negotiating any labor contract arrangement re ouirins comoulsorv union mem bership of workers. Voters will ballot on the issue in November in Washington, California, Colorado, Idaho and Kansas, and probably niiin Heading up the opposition to spreading right-to-work laws is the newly formed Nationar Coun cil for Industrial Peace, with for mer Sen. Herbert Lehman of New York and Mrs. Franklin 1). Koose veil as co-chairmen. Jack Red ding, former publicity director of the Democratic National Commit tee, is -its operating chief. , Main Proponent ' The main proponent organiza ' tion is the National Kight-lo-Work Committee, with W. T. Harrison as executive secretary. Former Kep. Fred Hartley, co-author of the Taft-Hartley Law, served for several years as chairman, but Harrison now says "we've dropped liim nff nnr stationery." Redding was reluctant to talk National Park Service Calls For New Bids CRATER LAKE (AP) The Na tional Park Service has called for new bids on construction 01 aaai tional facilities here. Tom Williams, Crater Lake park superintendent, said the park service rejected three bids receiv ed in June for construction of an administration building entrance way, a new entrance station, two comfort stations and nine multiple storv residences. Bids received were Ausland Construction Co., Grants Pass, $296,600; Salter and Klew, Grants Pass, $317,566, and Barnhart Con struction Co., Medford, $323,875. about financing of the opposition group. "We ve had conirmuiions from individuals, from some man attement organizations, and in some instances from international labor unions, he said. "But we're not rich. We have i small staff and a small budget." Redding operates from the of fice of Andrew Biemiller, legisla tive director of the AFL-CIO, which is fighting the right-to-work proposals tooth and nail. It is reliably reported that at least half the funds of Rcdding's organization comes direct from labor unions. The ban in the Taft Hartley Law against use of union dues money for political purposes applies only to federal issues, and this exempts the state right-to- work fight. Quarter Million Budget Redding's group reportedly has a budget of a quarter million dol lars. Harrison says his pro right-to- vork organization has no oudget, but "just spends all the money we get ' printing ana aisiriDuung ma-tcrial. Harrison says his group gets not a dime from the two big employer organizations, the National Assn. of Manufacturers and U. S. Cham ber of Commerce. Nor does it get monev. he said, from such big business as U. S. Steel, General Motors or Ford. All three of those firms incidentally, operate under compulsory union memDersnip provisions. "We don't have many takers from big business," Harrison said. "We get most of our money from small, family-owned firms. "We write letiers suggesting a small business contribute $25 to S!)0. a medium-sized business $50- $100. and a large business $100 up. "The majority of our members pay $50 a year. But we have firms as members from $5 a year on up. It's strictly voluntary. And we h3ve a great many individual members, including a lot of card carrying union members who are not anti-union but who are opposed to compulsory membership." Stale organizations for and against right-to-work laws are as sociated with the two national groups, but operate largely en their own funds. B - ' ' !" ' I Vital Statistics U. S.

Cass Ave OR 3-6326 ROSEBURG REALTY Umpqua Hotel Lobby OR 2-3344 By WILLIAM L. RYAN . AP Foreign News Analyst Election of Gen. Fuad rihehab as president and prospective peacemaker in tormented Leban on gives the United States an op portunity to face some Middle East facts of life and possibly to rescue some of its sagging for tunes there. Gen. Shehab is in a position to help turn Lebanon into a sort of Switzerland of the Middle East a neutral in the quarrels between Arab add Arab, Arab and West erner and the two great world blocs. The rele is logical for Lebanon. Indeed, there has been reason to believe that the United States was somewhat embarrassed by the ar dor displaved by President Camille Chamoun in embracing the West ern cause. It was a case of Le banon supporting and defending the united stales, or someinuig akin to the tail wagging the dog. A large number of Lebanese, both Christian and Moslem, as pire to a role of neutrality. Many in the rebel opposition, too, have indicated that such a role would satisfy them. They see Lebanon's future contribution to stability in her service as a bridge between extremes in the Middle East. For Lebanon, the role would be in keeping with tradition. Apparently Gamal Andel Nas ser's intention with regard to Lebanon was to exercise control over her foreign policy. This will come about if tne extremists among the opposition have their way. But if Shehab can steer Lebanon into an enlightened neu trality, the country stands a chance of remaining independent. The United States, many Leba nese argue, would be shortsighted in insisting upon stamping Le banon indelibly with the Western brand. Protest Not Serious The announcement that Prem ier Sami Solh wants to contest Shehab's election should not be taken seriously. The premier has little real authority. Shehab is repeating his 1952 role taking over as a sort of care taker president to offer a chance for compromise of a deep politi cal quarrel. He is unlikely to want to remain in the presidency for long. Thus, what will concern Le banon's politicians now is the ex tent to which Uiamoun will exer cise influence in choosing the man who will succeed Shehab. - A middle of the road Maronite Christian acceptable both to oppo sition 'and government forces is the answer. PerhaDs American troops will remain in Lebanon while this is sue is being settled. If they leave before it is settled, tne little coun Fri.
