"Portland was good to me,” said Paul De- ’ Block, “It is a city of homes and fine people. I had a successful j business there, but my sons were growing up and I looked forward to retirement.” The DeBlocks fell in love with southern Curry county and in 1937 purchased substantial hold ings near Pistol River, overlook ing the ocean and not far from Mack Arch. “Nowhere else in Oregon,” saiys Paul DeBlock, “is there such a climate or such beauty.” “There are nine distinct vari- eties of azaleas here, blooming almost the year around. Nowhere ( in the state can azaleas be grown with such beautiful color.” He attributes it to the minerals in the soil. He has added his own touch of beauty to our countryside.

WHO CALLS HOOVER A ‘YOKEL' and Why! An Open Letter to S. Eugene Allen Editor of the Oregon Labor Press Dear Gene:—It is common knowledge that no-one in the state of Oregon thinks less of Wayne Morse than you do. Time and again Joe Battaglia, Heinie Detloff and the others around the table at Hilaire’s have heard you de nounce Morse as a “commie” sympathizer and political racketeer. Why, then have you used the old, familiar “commie” smear technique in the last two issues of the Oregon Labor Press calling Dave Hoover an illiterate and unintelligent “yokel?” You know better, Gene. You know that Hoover has had three years of law training and is well informed on world and domestic problems. He takes short-hand fluently and is an expert typist. We know why the Labor Press called Hoover a “yokel” Gene. Because, like most the rest of us, you have to work for a living. Your bosses at the Labor Temple have had their orders from the big labor bosses in the East. When our advertising man tried to buy space in the Labor Press to answer the scurrilous and unfounded at tacks on Hoover you told him “nothing doing.” on had your orders on that, too. \\ hat about Freedom of the Press, Gene? And what about Freedom itself? Will America continue to be free when the labor bosses and bureau crats take over? Right now the labor bosses are tapping the rank and file of union labor $2 per head nationally to put up a slush fund for their pals like Morse an estimated $15 million dollars. We never heard of the membership of a union being given a chance to vote on such things. The labor bosses pick who they want to throw their support and the mem bership’s money to. Do they regard their own Union mem bers as “yokels?” Are you calling Hoover a “yokel” in the Labor Press, Gene, because he owns and works a 400 acre farm in Lane county? According to “Who’s Who.” Jim Marr, execu tive-secretary of the Oregon. State Federation of Labor “began as a farm laborer.” From the same source we learn, Gene, that your first job out of college was with a farm implement concern. Kelley Loe, political "brain at the labor temple was born on a farm. Charles L. McNary and Abraham Lincoln were also born on the farm. Would you say they were “yokels?” Have you forgotten. Gene, that America was built by men like Dave Hoover who were not afraid to go out into the country and work with their hands? Those pioneers who came to Oregon in covered wagons carried an axe in one hand and a Bible in the other and they didn’t need y with foreign "isms” to tell them how to lead their .'»wS trom the cradle to the grave. Were they “yokels, Gene? Maybe there’s a reason why the boys on the big city dailies are poking fun at “Deadwood Dave.” I hey all be long to the Newspaper Guild which is affiliated with the GIO. Have you seen the issue of the CIO News for Jan uary 2, 1950 which lists Wayne Morse as the only “Repub lican” senator with a perfect record of voting for CIO- sponsored measures? Gene, we know you take your orders, from the labor bosses, is that where Morse gets his orders? Well, Gene we know the spot you are in. Oregon is on the spot, too. It will be six years before the people of Oregon will get another chance to vote on the office Morse now occupies in the U. S. Senate. Maybe this is the last chance the rest of us "yokels will have to wake up before the labor bosses and the bur- ea »crats put a yoke around our necks for good! /After all, if only a pinko college professor who has never had to meet payroll, who has never worn his coun try’s uniform in time of war and who has fed at the public trough since he got his college diploma in W isconsin is the only type of man qualified to hold public office in this country all we can say is GOD HELP AMERICA!
