that has been played in Berlin,
there is no reason to suppose that
their second attempt will be more
successful. And thus the appal

stringing definite council action.
To remedy the situation the UN interim committee, or "little
assembly," has studied the voting procedures since last March
and now proposes that members of the security council recognize
. 38 items (in the list of 98 possible decisions the council is author
ized to make) as procedural and therefore exempt from the veto.
Decisions on them would be taken by vote of any seven mem
bers.
Other proposed changes:
That permanent members agree to drop the veto in cases In
volving peaceful settlement of disputes and applications for 'mem
bership in the UN, and to drop the "double veto" decisions on
whether a question is substantive and therefore subject to the
voted or not.
That wherever possible permanent members consult among
themselves concerning important decisions to be made; and to
consult, before a vote is taken, whether their Unanimity is re
quired to enable the security council to function effectively.
That, if there is no unanimity, the minority of the permanent
members would only use their veto when they consider the: ques
tion of vital importance to the United Nations as a whole; and
that the veto would not be used simply because a proposal does
not go far enough to satisfy the permanent members.

To the Editor:
You merit appreciation for giv
ing facts regarding the oil strike,
as you did in last Wednesday's
issue, and while conceding that
the oil companies' claim that the
wages of their workers have been
increased 83 per cent since 1941
sounds Impressive, it loses its im
portance when compared with the
fact that during the same period
the companies cash revenue in
creased 152 per cent, which
prompts you to impatiently ask:
When do company profits be
come hi en enough?' It Is too
bad that you goggle-eyed
citizens do not seem to under
stand that high profits to our
great Industries is the cause of
high wages, instead of the reverse.
and that every time a dime is
grudgingly added to the payroll
the price of the product goes up
a dollar, and it is all blamed to
the cost of labor. A long list of
our billion-dollar industries are
doing the same thing. For In
stance the telephone company is
one of the biggest. It is In the
nine billion dollar class and its
cash revenues have increased 101
per cent. Being a public utility it
cannot arbitrarily raise rates with
out permission, but it is now
clamoring for higher rates before
the utility commission, and will
probably get what it wants.
The list is almost endless. Gen

of 177 per cent; Swift & Co

Opea Ticket Booth en Time
To the Editor:
A suggestion to the State Fair
Board 11 to opening the ticket
booth on time.
After driving from Medford
the day before and entering the
Fair Grounds about 8:30 ajn., we
had planned to get our grand
stand tickets early and then look
at the exhibits and patronize the
concessions until the races started.
The ticket booth, we were told,
would open at 9 am. so at 8:40
am. we went to the booth and
got in one of the lines already
formed. The wait became so bad
that I alone of our parry remained
In line.
After, one hour and 25 minutes
and after moving the booth, which
disarranged the lines and caused
several near fights, the window
opened at 10:20 am. That length
of time on a space as big as a
dime of concrete is tiresome as
well as wasteful. Furthermore,
the several hundred people would
have been spending money to
the advantage of the board had
they been cared for and allowed
to circulate.
