Crowell testified at an NLRB

Crowell said ha then told Borch

"It didn't make any difference

testified, and said Crowell't work

Blackball Threat
Raised In Dispute;
Union In Denial
Don Martin of Toledo, Ohio,
president of the Martin Bros. Con
tainer and Timber Products Corp.,
today issued another appeal to em
ployes and "anyone else qualified
at the Oakland plants, to report
for work Monday at 8 a.m."
. He snid that any threat of being
blackballed from the union "is a
threat by the union end cannot be
done legally or otherwise." He
made the statement, he laid, be
cause "we have heard employes
say they were afraid of being
blackballed by the union if they
cross the so-called picket line."
He said any other company for
which i person might work "can
not legally terminate" employment
so long as the worker can show
the company that he had tendered
initiation feet and dues and that
the union refused to accept the
fees and dues.
Martin also said the union would
he in violation of the Taft-Hartley
law and could be sued. He said
workers "are therefore protected
and cannot be blackballed."
"There has not been any black
ball threatened." Ed Clark, busi
ness agent of Local 2814, said this
morning when apprized of the com
pany statement. He was joined in
the statement by Gene D. Menges,
lora. president.
"This is a misstatement the com
pany is putting out. We never made
any such statements or even
thought of such a thing. It is the
people's choice to go through the
picket line or remain on the out
side. There has been and is no
threat."
"The union does have its laws
to go by if it so sees fit in the
future." Clark added.

"The German people," he de
clared, "will again be reunified.
But it is a question of time and
a question of the proper condi
tions." Khrushchev spoke to a meeting
of more than 2.000 trade union
ists, largely Communist, from
bolh East and West Germany.
He said it may take some time
to achieve unification, but added:
We have time."
He said a peace treaty must be
signed with Germany. Then he
added: u would be best ir it
were with the two German
states."
He turned to the possibility of
a confederation between Commu
nist East Germany and West Ger
many, as proposed by the Soviet
Lnion. A peace treaty with the
confederation, he said, would "al
so not be bad."
This was one of the clearest in
dications yet that Moscow, al
though it often advocates German
reunification, would settle for a
peace treaty that recognizes two
German states.
Earlier Khrushchev had drODDed
a hint that he might invite Poland
and Czechoslovakia to join Kussia
in signing a separate peace treaty
wnn tast oermany.
Double Tongue Talk
Khrushchev suggested to the
trade unionists it might cot be a
bad idea if East German Premier
Otto Grotewohl were the head of
a government ruling all Germany.
lie singled out East German
Communist party boss Walter Ul-
bricht for special praise.
Khrushchev said that when West
ern leaders discuss Ulhncht with
him, they always say: "You want
to put Germans under Llbricht
he is an impossihie person. You
can't negotiate with him."
Khrushchev turned to clbncht,
spread his arms wide and said
loudly:
I greet my friend Linncht.
He has a character that is not
praised by the Capitalists."
Bitter Toward West
Khrushchev's speech was filled
with bitter criticism of the West.
He charged the Western allies
deliberately delayed opening a
second front in World war II be
cause they hoped to give Nazi
Germany enough time to wipe out
the Soviet Union.
"They wanted to kill two flies
with one swatter," he declared.
He charged the cold war was
an invention of Sir Winston
Churchill, whom he described as
"old and creaky". But at another
point he called Churchill a worthy
opponent.
He declared that Western diplo
mats, especially those producing
war materials, are interested in
continuing the cold war.

Merchants
To Put Idea
Into Action
Validation Of Parking
Tickers For Purchases
Basic Operation Item
Roseburg retail merchants Fri-
day noon voted to proceed with
plans to establish a park-and-shop
system for the downtown parking
area.
A contract will be drawn un tn
be circulated by merchants in the
area bounded by Lane and Wash
ington avenues and Stephens and
.Main streets. Participation will be
required ny at least 30 merchants
to put the plan into effect.
Chamber of Commerce Manager
Harold Reaume explained the pro
posal at the meeting. It is based
upon a recommendation of a na
tional parking expert, William
George Barr, who spoke here re
cently. Roughly, the Idea calls for mer
chants validating parking tickets
at three parking lots in the city
upon a purchase of $2 or more.
The merchants would purchase
stamps at SIS per hundred. They
would place a stamp on the cus
tomer's ticket from the parking
lot, good for one hour of parking.
If the customer shopped at more
than one store, additional stamps
could be requested to validate the
ticket for an additional hour of
parking.
Merchants Pay Fee
Participating merchants would
pay an entry fee of $25. This would
pay the cost of setting up the sys
tem, advertising and incidental ex
pense. Of the IS cents the mer
chant paid for the stamps, 15 cents
would be paid to the parking lot
owners. The other cent would go
