V Tno OREGON STATESMAN, Solera, Oregon. Friday Morning, March 8. 1948 PAGE THREE Newsmen Hear Labor Scarcity, Restrictions Plaguing Canners (Story also on page 1) Br Wendell Webb Jir Managing Editor, The Stateiman EUGENE. Ore., March 7. The scarcity of labor jf the great est single problem confronting the fruit and vegetable .growing fcnd processing industry, E. A. McCornack, director of the Eu ftre Fruit Growers' association, told visiting newsmen today. "Patriotism (on the part of school children, particularly) did a lot in helping us through the war, both in the plants and . i in ' the field," McCornack said.

OtRTMv, "but even lasfseason as the war ebbed theje was a marked change and we don't know what the fu ture holds. He said workers lack ed "the financial urge." McCornack also took occasion, under questioning, to assail gov ernmental controls, declaring "the OPA needs intelligence" and in sisting that "any action of govern ment which delays production is .inflationary," but he opposed com plete removal of price restrictions. He said controls "should be ad justed." The fruit growers plant was visited by six newsmen now on a statewide tour -under the spon sorship of Columbia Empire In dustries and the National Associa- tjon of Manufacturers. At a luncheon given by the Eu gene Chamber of Commerce, the newsmen more or less constituted a sounding board for criticism .of the OPA. There was no kind word for OPA' operation, but neither was it unanimous that all price controls should be removed immediately. Comments varied from bitter Ye crimination, both of OPA and the federal administration generally, to suggestions that at least some restrictions were essential. There was talk, too, that if all'controls were removed a "buyers' strike" would eliminate danger of run away inflated prices. Most outspoken critic of the OPA was Herb Cox, secretary of the West Coast Lumberman's as sociation in this area, who also flayed Sen. Wayne Morse for "not living up to his election premises" regarding labor. During a brief side-trip, Clark C. Van Fleet, manager of the Will amette Valley Wood Chemical company at nearby Springfield, told the newsmen the $3,000,000 plant there was the largest of its kirid in the world (manufacturing ethyl or grain but not wood--alcohol from was-te such as saw dust and hog fuel), and that it would be ready for operation by July 1, employing 75 persons-, The plant will use 300 units of material and produce between 12, 000 and 14.000 gallons of alcohol each day. About one-third of ma terial used Will become lignin, for use either as fuel or In plastic manufacturing or possibly fer tilizer. Other by-products will in clude gypsum (to sweeten acid soil), methyl alcohol (used in the xhemical industry, primarily in making aldehydes), and furfural tfor plastic and used in refining oil). The Springfield plant is being built by Willamette Valley lum bermen, with federal financial as sistance. It was begun two years ago when greatly-increased alcohol supplies were essential to the American war machine. Sponsors remain confident that its output, including byproducts, still wfll find a ready market. The "man with the hoe" is be ing replaced 6n some southern cotton farms by an adaptation of the wartime flame thrower, which can burn weeds in cotton fields at far less cost. m Mm Disaster Relief.

Capitol and Market St. Peoples Quits Accident Post, ' Hurls Charges 'Wasted efforts" In the adminis tration of state industrial safety regulations were charged by Ralph W. Peoples, route l', Sil verton, in his letter of resignation as field operative for the state ac cident prevention division Thurs-j day. The' resignation; coincided with Peoples filing Thursday as a democratic candidate for state labor commissioner at the May 17 primary election. ' Writing his resignation to the state industrial accident commis-i sion, Peoples stated: "There are certain basic faults that prompt me to take this ac tion. I refer particularly to the overlapping jurisdiction under Oregon laws with respect to ad ministration of the safety regu lations by both the bureau of labor and the state industrial ac cident commission. This has re sulted in wasteful duplication of effort-and unequal enforcement of the safety laws. In fact, in some parts of Oregon industry, the law has had little if any, application. Intolerable v "This situation is intolerable. Pub lic interest demands that the over lapping jurisdiction be eliminated and that the safety laws be uni formly applied throughout all of Oregon industry. To date neither the governor, the industrial acci dent commission nor the commis sioner of labor has exhibited any leadership toward a correction of this situation." . Would Eliminate Duplication . The candidate said that, if elecf- ( ed, he would work for elimination j of the. present wasteful duplica I tion of service by the two agencies and woujld seek to apply the same high standards of accident pre vention to firms rejecting the pro tection of the workers cpmpensa-, tion law as are maintained by the accident prevention division , in firms subject to the law.: COSTLY CELEBRATION LEWISTON, Idaho, Mar. 7 -.VP) George A.
