"Whose Shot?" The' Cclit f Editor's Corner By Charles V. Stanton L30 4 The Newt-Review, Roseburg, Ore. A state representative from Multno mah County ha come up with what ap pears to be an exceptionttlly ood idea concerning the relationship of industry and labor. He contends tltut organized labor and manairement should get together every so often to discuss problems of mutual interest. This is particularly timely in light of labor-management negotiations now being carried' on in the timber in dustry. . Rep. Ed Whelan introduced the idea at a recent meeting of the Associated Industries in Portland. He is also sec retary of the Multnomah County Labor Council. In this month's issue of the AOI News Digest, the new president of the AOI, Robert R. Carey, solidly endorses the idea. "I think this is a sound suggestion hav ing a great deal of merit," Carey says. He continues that labor management problems become more acute when lines of communication do not exist; "and we are equally aware that ninny lines do not exist at all." He calls these basic reasons for endorsing the sugges tion. A committee such as Whelan outlined, says Carey, would give employers and labor leaders the opportunity to become not only acquainted on a personal basis, but would strengthen those lines of com munication which do exist and perhaps Is It Men Or Women Who The slate Department of Motor Vehi cles has completed a study of 10,000 drivers in the state which compounds the old, old question of who drives better, men or women. The results could be evaluated as (1) both, (2) neither or (3) sometimes men, sometimes women. Even this evaluation is questionable, because of one point, the exposure data, . . .comparisons among age groups or between male and female drivers are not strictly justifiable." But here are a couple of the compari sons : THE LIGHTER SIDE: 8 By DICK WEST WASHINGTON (UPI) - I can remember when a folk singer was a guy who wore dirty under shirts. He played the guitar "by ear," which probably sounded bet ter than if he had used his hands. He could sing all 102 verses of "Lonesome Freight Train" and Insisted on doing io. In some states, this was recognized as grounds for divorce. Almost every community had a folk singer, along with a town drunk and a village idiot. In many" communities, all three of them were the same fellow. Folk singers performed maimy In talent shows staged in the hign school gymnasium to raise money for the volunteer fire department.

As much as any group, and more than most, the Kingston Trio is responsible for the folk music transformation. Having been to gether for five years now, the Kingstons are regarded as the el der statesmen of the new breed. Target Of Purists This makes them a prime tar get of the traditionalists, as I found out in the course of a talk with the Kingstons, who are ap pearing here this week. "Lvcryhody is a self-appointed folk music expert nowadays," said guitarist Nick Reynolds. Iliglu now it s very 'in to put us down as prostitutes of folk music, "If we so much as add an E-minor lo 'Dear Betsy.' they picket our next concert," said guitarist Boh Shane. "With some of them folk music la almost like a religion." said guitarist John Stewart. "If they served communion at concerts, half of the audience would be up at tne rail." The mention nf religion started a discussion of the rising popular. it v of gospel singers on the night chid circuit. "A bartender told me that Deo pie drink more during gospel songs than at any other time." said Frank Werber, the trio man ager.

"And when problems do occur, they can be discussed on a friendly basis over lunch, or whatever. It would give these leaders an opportunity to solve the bugs which lead to problems before they ever occur." The AOI president notes that the scope of the meetings might be expanded to other things than just current problems. He listed possible discussion areas of mu tual interest such as compulsory arbitra tion by government order, unemploy ment and workmen's compensation re form. He said the impact of automation might very well be included. "A move in this direction by both la bor leaders and employers may very well set the stage for solving many of the misunderstandings which cause many of our labor problems today," Carey says. "It may even help to smooth collective bargaining and assist in preventing strikes before they occur." We agree, it has been proved time and time again that problems retain their perspective if they are discussed in face to face meetings. They most often lose that perspective when those personal meetings are missing and when the prob lems are allowed to build up. Both management and labor leaders should give the suggestion serious consideration. Drive Better? Male drivers average one traffic vio lation conviction every 4i years and one accident every 6H years. Women, on the other hand, average only one conviction in every -16 years and one accident ev ery 15-plus years. Chalk one up for the women. For the men, it was found that on the driving tests, 88 per cent passed on their first try, while only 82 per cent of the women made it the first time around. So, the question still stands: "Who Irives better, men or women. Tight Watch Is Maintained On Petitions CAPITOL MEMO By ZAN STARK SALEM (L'l'l)-Elccuons Super visor Jack Thompson says he's not worried about anyone stealing petitions from the Oregon secre tary ot state s sale. Thompson said his office has long been security conscious. Petitions carrying 82,355 signa-1 urcs were stolen June 21 from i the Washington State Capitol build-1 ing in Olympia. The theft wasn't! discovered untn June Z4. Thompson said rigid security provisions were enacted when Sec retary nf State Howell Appling Jr. took office in 1959. ".Strangers just don't go poking i around Hie Capitol Building at; nigni. tnompson said. "People who are authorized to, work in the building at night car ry special passes. Why, there ve been times when I havo been challenged by the se curity force," he commented. To get into the secretary ot state's vault, you first have to get into his offices. These are locked at night and on weekends. In addition, the Capitol Building is locked at night, and only authorized personnel have keys. Others have to ask a building superintendent for admission. During the legislative session the building was left unlocked at night and on weekends, hut there were always security personnel on hand, and the non-legislative of fices were locked. There aren't any petitions in the secretary of state's office at present. j But a petition to refer the 1963 legislature's StM) million tax in crease measure has been filed, j U petitions are circulated which seems certain the signature-jammed pieres of paper will be occupying the secretary of state's vault later this summer. Thompson doesn't expect any one to be able to steal them.

IT PAYS TO PATRON'ZE NEWS-RIVIIW ADVERTISERS .v.--.- -".-v mm ..4 ft, WAV w.x r j' a,Vi News Analysis U. To By PHIL NEWSOM In Saigon. U. S. olficials re acted sharply in public and bitter ly in private to charges by a South Vietnamese public prosecu tor that the United Slates had en couraged a 1960 attempt to over throw the government of Presi dent Ngo Dilin Diem. The U. S. Embassy denied the charge "flatly, officially and un equivocally." The Stale Department In Wash ington issued a similar denial. Actually the charge was not new. It stemmed from a short-lived revolt which bcean on Nov. 10, 1960, by 500 or so South Viet namese paratroopers and marines. The rebels seized most of Sai gon's principal buildings, includ ing Saigon Radio, and surrounded the presidential palace. Over the radio they announced that Diem's regime had been overthrown be cause of its autocratic rule and nepotism and has "shown itself incapable of saving the country." Revolt Collapses But the rebels failed to capture the president and two days later the rebellion collapsed with the arrival of loyalist troops. The day alter the collapse, Viet namese officials accused the U.S. Embassy of encouraging the re volt and of spreading rumors in Vietnam and abroad that the Diem government was corrupt, anti democratic and inefficient in fight ing communism. Despite U. S. assurances that It was satisfied with failure of the coup and continued all-out aid to the regime, the charges frequent ly have been repeated, notably by the president's Brother and chief advisor. Ngo Dinh Nhu. In 19G1, as fears ot another re volt against Diem's one-man rule mounted, the United States sent Vice President Lyndon B. John son to Saigon once more to as sure Diem nf its support and even more aid. But, while the U. S. publicly supported Diem and privately urged him to institute democratic reforms, there was increasing evi dence of government resentment against what it regarded as American interference. United States newsmen at tempting to report the "dirty, untidv. disagreeable" little war ' encountered government harass ' ment and occasional refusal to renew their visas. On the government level rela- lions declined to a new low he cause of U.S. dissatisfaction with i the Roman Catholic Diem's hand ling of his relations with South Vietnam's Buddhist majority. A roughing up of newsmen by Vietnamese secret police also ex pressed the government's dis pleasure with them. There seemed little doubt that Diem was out of touch with and had lost the sympathy of the peo ple. On Diem's side was the fact that he had put down the private armies winch plunRed his country into chaos after the Geneva ar mistice agreement of 1954. that he had instituted land reform and had made economic progress through American aid. It was also true that it was at the insistence of his much rriti rifrd but tough sister in law.

Proposed Kennedy Tax Cuts Await Action By Committee WASHINGTON (UPI) - After a 26-day interruption, the House Ways & Means Committee will resume work Monday on the big tax cut President Kennedy wants enacted this year. Although Kennedy aides have been pressing for faster action, it is doubtful that a bill can be steered to the House floor for a vote before mid-August. The committee's bill is ex pected to provide i reduction in everybody's federal income taxes, effective next Jan. 1. The odds strongly favor House passage. Although Senate action on the tax bill is certain to be delayed by a struggle over civil rights legislation, administration aides professed confidence that Con gress would complete action on both measures this year. The White House has put top priority labels on both bills. Kennedy has insisted that an economy-stimulating tax cut is needed to avoid danger of a re cession next year and to create new jobs to curb unemployment which is much higher among Negroes lhan whites. Chairman Wilbur D. Mills, D Ark., suspended tax action by the - In The Day's News - ly FRANK The news today? It's a bit on the fuzzy side. It looks like we might have a railroad strike which nobody wants. The employes don't want it because it would mean losing their jobs. The rail operators don't want it because it would mean losing a lot of business to their competitors. The owners of rail stocks don't want it because if the trains don't run there can be no profits, and if there are no profits there can be no dividends. The commuters in the big cities don't want it, be cause it means grief and trouble in getting to work. Even Jimmy lloffa, President of i the Teamsters Vnion, whose truck 1 drivers would take up much of i the slack in case of a rail shut 1 down, doesn't want it. He says this morning that "NO STRIKE is ever good for ANYONE, at ANY ; time." i But he pledges his union's sup port of a rail strike if there is one. It looks like a mess, doesn't It? What to talk about today? How about digit dialing? Nobody wants that either, but it looks like we're in lor it Dunn in the Bay Area digit dial ing is a particularly hot issue. I'oo ! pie don't like it. They say digits j are hard to remember, whereas Ihe old word prefixes were easy i to remember. So. in an elfort lo fix things, up, a Stanford research psychologist steps into the breach I with what he calls a simple for mula for handling the situation. j It works like this: First, tind the number in the di rectory.

The draft will he ready Monday. It probably will take the com mittee at least two weeks to hammer the tax hill into final shape. Then, it will take addi tional time to clear the measure to the House floor. New Revenue Expected As it stands now, the draft in cludes tentative decisions that would yield SGOO million of the S3.6 billion in new revenue which Kennedy requested to partly off set tax cuts totaling about $14 bil lion which he proposed. The committee is likely to re verse an earlier decision and boost the revenue gain to about S900 million by agreeing to elim inate part of the favorable tax differential that applies to income from stock dividends. The decisions on how much to reduce lax rates will he deferred until last. The committee is ex pected to wind up with a pack age that would result in a net tax reduction of less than the S10.4 billion proposed by Kennedy. JENKINS of three numbers.

Transportation Factor Hurts Industrialization In County One of the forecasts contained in a report by Dr. Hamill of University of Oregon concerning western Oregon's eco nomic future, as based on timber production, is indeed dis turbing to this area. Previously I expressed disagreement with some of the conclusions reached in the study, which is quite pessimistic regarding our coming production and employment. But one of his comments certainly is true at present and promises no relief, at least in the immediate future. Dr. Hamill holds to the belief that Lane County is in a much better position than Douglas County in anticipating the years ahead. Lane County has about reached ne ins yieio p uuucuon better practice, and the utiliza linut. Therefore, its level of pro- hjn nf sni. i-vini,. duction and employment lt is contended, will not show much change. Douglas County, on the other hand, is still in the wasteful stage nf its manufacture.

But one of his reasons for fav oring Lane County over Douglas County is the matter of indus trialization. While he does not fully explore the reasons for this situation, he docs call attention to the fact that industrialization seems to surround Douglas County. The reason for that, i believe, is quite evident. Industry goes to sites where it has transportation competition. Lane County has competition between two railroads. That is true also in Klamath County. Coos County has competition be tween rail and water. But inter ior Douglas County is served b only one railroad. This railroad has shown discrimination in past years toward shippers.
