Official Explains Proposed Boost PORTLAND, Nov. 13—(AP»> The State Game Supervisor explained today why the Game Commission wants to boost hunting and fishing licenses to more than double their present rates. “The Commission has been trying to get along on a 1932 dollar,” said Supervisor C. A. Lockwood. “We must have more funds to continue our program.” The commission tentatively sug gested upping the resident fishing and hunting licenses from $3 to $7; combination hunting-fishing license from $5 to $12,507 non-resident fishing license from $10 to $15, and non-resident hunting license from $25 to $50. The boosts, discussed with the Legislature’s interim committee, drew opposition from at least one legislator. Lew Wallace, a member of the committee, said the amount of the increases was “totally un reasonable.” The State Legislature would have to vote any change in license fees. MEN! FROM FACTOR Y, TO YOU!

French Work Unions Create New Novelty; 'The Revolving Strike' by Carl Hartman AP Foreign Affairs Analyst PARIS — French labor unions, which invented! the sit-down, have another novelty to their credit—the “revolving strike.” This invention consists in an end less chain of work stoppages,, some big, some little, but none lasting for more than a few days. Their pur pose is to cut production, while holding down the amount of wages lost by strikers and keeping the pot of social agitation boiling. The communist-led General Fed eration of Labor (C. G. T.), which invented and perfected the new weapon, is fighting the European Recovery Program. Its success can be measured by the estimates that the generalized strikes of November and December last year cost France the equivalent of what it received as interim aid from the U. S. But at the same time those strik es cost the C. G. T. most of the con tents of its union’s treasuries. What was even more serious, a split in its ranks put about a third of the C. G. T.’s 5,000,000 members into a new non-communist group, workers’ force. Prices kept rising. For the first time since the war the government succeeded in enforcing a new rule— no pay for days lost in strikes. The result was widespread discontent among labor’s rank and file. But not disposition to take it out, in widespread work stoppages. This situation made it easier to Truman - Stalin Meeting Denied By White House KEY WEST, Fla., Nov. 10— (AP)—The White House said to night there are no plans of any kind for a truman-Stalin meeting, and that President Truman has no intention of going to Moscow. Eben Ayers, assistant presiden tial press secretary, emphasized, however, that the United States chief executive still stands by his offer to confer with Premier Sta lin anytime the latter wishes to visit Washington. Ayers, talking with newsmen, threw down reports from the So viet news agency, Tass, and print ed in Moscow quoting an Ameri can columnist. The columnist, Tris Coffin, was quoted by Tass as saying the two leaders might meet in Washington or in Moscow before congress con venes. The columnist said Monday that President Truman wants a confer ence with world leaders on peace and might even go to Moscow. The Tass dispatch, quoting Cof fin, said “although no definite de cision has been reached, Truman presumes he can meet Stalin at his place (presumably Washington) instead of going to Moscow. “However, if Stalin does not leave the Soviet Union, Truman is filled with such a determination to put into effect his program of peace that possibly he will himself go to Moscow.’’ The wide publicity that the Rus sians gave the report puzzled White House aides. Meanwhile, there was no word whether President Truman has giv en any further consideration to sending a personal emisary to dis cuss with Stalin a basis for getting a better understanding between the two countries. Classified Ads FOR SALE:Tuxedo. size 36 short, in excellent condition, Phone 598 W. 42, 43, 44, 45, 46 get the support of non-communist unions for brief "protest” stop pages. Workers’ force and the Catholic C. F. T. C. (French Fed eration of Christian Unions) are co operating with the ERP and not pul ling any big strikes. On the local level, however, the C. G. T. can bring heavy pressure on their lead ers to join in demonstrations of “working class solidarity.” The revolving strikes, some times called "harassing” or “irri tation” strikes were tailored to fit these new conditions. The cbmmon report is that general instructions were passed along from Paris to communist cells ail over France— make trouble wherever you can through the C. G. T., but keep it short. The revolving strikes do not ex clude major walkouts. Where the C- G. T. is particularly strong, in the mines for example, it tries for something bigger. The coal strike that began Oct. 4 and dbntinued through the month was a much more important undertaking than any of the local stoppages, but it did not halt them. They kept on go ing, too. Cadets Favorites Over Pennsylvania PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 13 (AP) Army’s sleight-of-hand Cadets are expected to parlay their ball hand ling magic with a fast mobile line to whip Penn by at least two touch downs today on Franklin Field. Penn hasn’t beaten the Army since 1942, when it scored a 19 to 0 victory. Coach Earl Blaik's Black Knights of the Hudson tied Pehn 13 to 13 in 1943. Then with Glenn Davis-Doc Blanchard powered elev ens they romped to 62-7, 61-0 and 34-7 victories before Penn tied again last year 7-7. Army has seven victories this season and almost everyone who has watched the Cadets marvels at their precision, speed and depth.
