if Morse Hits Navy Wage Policy As Discriminatory WASHINGTON, June 5 (UP) Sen. Wayne-"Morse, R., Ore, to day awaited arrival of data from Oregon to substantiate his charge that milltaJr-'1ailthoritities have difjcrirnina'.cfi against Portland as 0 wartime maritime center. When hi;jion document his slalcmcntSi''Morse told tha sen ate, .he wll -give his colleagues the fact in :the case. During an hour-long speech yesterday on inequities of navy wage policy along the Pacific coast he men tioned that he believes tha army, navy, war shipping administra tion and office of defense trans portation wtre parties to the discrimination.- ' Facilities Stand Idle J'There have been times when 70' per cent of the port facilities have been unused," he said. "They have even gone to the lengths of having longshore gangs shifted to San Francisco." On the issue of wage-injustices in west coast repair yards, Morse pulled no punches. He criticized high navy officials strongly for "name-calling tactics" in an at tempt 10 recruit labor. These, he said, were merely unjustified face-saving1 devices. He plaeedithc navy's manpow er troubles at its own door and demanded that the navy bring its wage scales., up to those of privately-run yards. "Should the navy be surprised when workincn are unwilling to leave a private yard at $1.20 an hour for a government yard at $1.14?" he demanded. 1 Maintenance of a southern Cal ifornia repair wage rate 11.6 per cent greater than in northern coast ports is a clear "discrim ination," lio charged. He pre dicted that unless it is abandoned it will, become "a very hot labor issue. .1 ' Boys Are Held In Stolen Car Fatality SAN PEDRO, Calif., June 5 (UP) Two teen 'age boys were hold today for investigation of manslaughter after police said the pair killed an aight-year-old boy with a stolen car while de liberately trying to run down a group of children : Oscar Howard was fatally in jured by the z'gzagging vehicle as his brother, Douglas, 7, and Bo(orly Snyder, 13. lenped to safety on the sidewalk.
