"Fourth Round" Brings Tussle Labor and management are squaring off for and constructed extensive terminals;-but still Portland kept most of the business. STVtia ufaalr nnminimnt WM'miilt tt a A aft a crucial test this summer over th fourth rouhd 'jn which the North Pacific Grain-Growers, Inc. o( wage increases. John L. Lewis is permitting his miners to go back to work (three days a week) without a contract. He has permitted the negotiations with operators to be broken up in to different groups: northern, southern, captive mines. Walter Reuther's United Auto Workers have made no headway with demands in their bargaining with Ford and strike votes are being held by locals this week. Steel has begun its sparring with Phil Murray of the CIO steel-? workers' union. ' Tearing a leaf from Lewis' book Reuther has called on Ford to talk pension and insurance plans as weir as meet wage demands. John Bu gas. Ford vice president, asked the union to agree to an 18-month stabilization period, with openings for wage talks next January and July. Calling the strike vote is the union's reply, but ' it serves to delay action pending results of other labor negotiations, particularly steel. Management is holding firm against further wage increases, telling union agents that the public is demanding lower prices which can come only with cheaper production. Labor prob ably sees little .chance of much gain in wage rates, so it will concentrate on the "fringes," like pensions, which Lewis obtained for his mine workers. , Will there be strikes? Probably not, because the times are not propitious for striking. But labor will resist any attempts at cutting wage rates-- in the tri-state zinc region (Missouri, Kansas, Arkans'as), zinc mines have closed down because1 workers refused to take a wage cut. La bor will have to be content with holding Its which handles a large percentage of northwest Wheat, will use the Port of Astoria for storage and export of its grain. The Astorian-Budget sees in the deal the realization of Astoria's dream. j Portland and Longview and Vancouver will iot like the new arrangement, though! in these days of mechanical handling of grain the loss of . employment will not be very great. The rest of the state will be pleased to see Astoria's facilities more fully employed. Nationalist Harrass Shanghai ' There seems to be some life left in nationalist China; and Shanghai is feeling it. Ths nation alists control the Chinese navy and are using it ftp blockade Shanghai, and with some effect. jfThen they have planes which frequently bomb th city. The communists are strong on land but they have few planes and no navy. These weap ons in the hands of the nationalists may harrass but they cannot drive back the communists.: jf Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek has establish ed himself on Formosa (renamed Taiwan), hop ling to use it as a base against the reds. The na tionalist government has its seat in Canton. jfThere are still great areas not under communist control ; instead, they are under the domination ?bf local governors. Disunity is still China's great froadblock to progress.

The story is credible, for it is special situations. Its real gains will come through falling prices; and its real losses through' layoffs. ; v --e.'-, ----- Kansas and Wheat Acreage Control Kansas votes republican consistently; but its farmers do not fail to take government "loans" on their wheat crop. And Governor Frank Carl son of that state is urging Secretary of Agricul ture Brannan not to impose acreage control on the crop for next year. He doesn't ask the gov ernment to drop its price support, however. The reason for the Kansas governor's request is that the 1949 crop is falling below expecta- .Jknown that the Indians of interior Brazil are jj-both numerous and hostile to whites.

Congress is being moved by the house- movers that is, not by Mr Truman or; the var L ioua segments of the Dublic that would like to size in our history. -June didn't prove a good month; and threshing -reports, particularly in the big breadbasket from Texas north, show that yields are not holding up the estimate. ISven so, the surplus of wheat will be, equal to a .full year's domestic demand. Wheatgrowers have been voting on acreage control for next year; and appear to favor it if necessary. And, it is doubtful if the slump in yield will make it safe for the government to keep up its guarantee without slapping on plant ing "restrictions. Acreage cofttrol isn't altogether satisfactory.

Raberta, jr. AP Foreign Affair Analyst Chiang Kai-Shek's latest ap peal for renewed American aid tn an effort to halt the commun ist penetration of Asia comes at a time when the subject is being newly agitated in Wash ington. A number of senators are ad vocating a new aid program. The Chinese nationalist govern ment at Canton has been trying to persuade American officials that a new military stand ran be made in western China. There have been report that "young Chinese" with American ideas are organizing a resistance movement. The planes which have been harrassing 'the com- . munist aroun J Shanghai appar ently are from Chiang's For mosa redoubt, although ope rating from bases nearer their targets. On the face of it, renewed resistance seems to be develop i t Underneath. Areerican au thorities find little on which to bate any hope. Economic aid to non-communist territory will continue. Military intervention seems to be over fr good. As for, Chiang's appeal, there J is little new in it. Chiang's center tkn that re-.-istance to tne communist army i sUU tmuible In the areas which resM! Japan that the situation r.ir.' is the Same as then is tared an one fallacy. In 1933 and thereafter the Chinese were fighting a for eign invader. Now an under termined but '( vast number of Chinese welcome the commun ists as the triie successors to the reyolutionaty mantle of Sun Yat Sen; This is true both among the peasants, whose lot is such as to ;nake them wel come any change, and among the intellectuals as represented by Madame Sun, Chiang's American - educated sister- in- " law and i-idow; of the man who overturned the"; Chinese throne. ti The decision! before the U. S. government ha (been whether to become dlrectljr involved in the Chinese civil war (or to be re involved In it ;lhow) or to avoid further irritation of relations with the communists. The communists will have a : lot of trouble (organizing China. They are goieg to need eco nomic aid which Russia cannot , supply, as eaf tern Europe us found.

After a fewjjyears the Titoism which the Chinese communists disclaim now may really devel op. Then there might! be a pos sibility of introducing American influence. If the U.

Spain Visas Hard to Get, Henry Finds By Henry McLemore DAYTONA BEACH, July 5 Today's topic is Spain. Part of the world wants it taken into the United Nations and part of the world cries aloud if such a thing is suggested.

IP 3330X6 TKDDuQCS 11 (Continued from page 1) the economic weakness of the satellite nations affects serious ly the ioreien policy of Russia. Until they -can be welded into units economically f strong and imiitically reliable, Russia will hesitate to challenge the west uhder the bles sing of the United States And you know what the bles sing of t h a United States means money, money and more money. I am writing about Spain for only one reason. I have applied for a visa to that country, and I haven't got it yet. All the other visas were easy, even vLsts to the Belgian Congo which I can not even locate on a map. If I had been sensible I would have written on my Spanish visa application that my purpose was pleasure. But being honest, I said my Business was "newspa per man." That put all of Spain, apparently, to work. I was told that I must get in tooch with someone in Washington who would speak to someone in the Spanish embassy or I would nev, er get a visa. No trust, apparently, in Spain. Can't stand an honestfj guy looking around. All right, I don't care if I get to Spain or if I don't get to Spain. I'd hate to go to a country 'where I wasn't wanted. I'd hate to go to a country in which I couldn't keep my eyes open. I would like now to tell Spain that I don't care whether I'm admitted or not. In the same breath I'd like to tel Spain that X asked admittance to the country because hundreds of people have told me that it is the loveliest country on earth soft, gentle and beautiful. But if it's run in such a manner that a visitor can not feel free, then I don't want any part of it. Lissen, Spain, let's you and McLemore get this straight. I'd love to see Madrid. It's one of the few great capitals I haven't seen. I'd like to see Toledo, too; I'd even like to see Barcelona, but I don't think I will. Life is too short to beg a coontry's permis sion to visit it. Probably the chief reason for leaving the United States is the happiness of getting back. I'm about to take off for sixteen or seventeen countries, not one of which can even carry this coun try's shoes. That's not Jingoism. That's the truth. To get back to Spain I hope they'll let me in, I also hope they'll let me but. But I want to tell Spain one thing, if it is per missible for a man to stand up to a country: I really don't care what you do. If you want my honest opinion, I cannot conceive of a man accepting one man's will. When I get to Spain, I shall write about Spain as I see it, and if that's not permissible, then I will skip it lightly on my way to other and more comfortable countries. , McNaught Syndicate. Inc. GRIN AND BEAR IT By. Lichty II epl ' Urn ! mmmm9 t2J 7 militarily. Here is Handler's summary of conditions in these countries: "With several exceptions there has been a rapid deterioration in production and the standard of living in eastern Europe ... In Czechoslovakia .this process of deterioration began after the February coup . S. . The reversal of import policy and the shift in the domestic production policy had the inevitable effect of grinding down the standard of living, and placing tremendous strains on the Czech econ omy ... "Hungary has felt the effects of this policy to a lesser degree for a variety of reasons . . . The disproportion between prices and wages is the first symptom that the Hungarian economy is gradually slipping into the east ern European pattern of a falling standard of living. "According to-' Yugoslav re ports, economic conditions in Bulgaria, which were already poor last year, are deteriorating rapidly . . . Food shortages have become endemic in a country which once produced export sur pluses. "Less is known of conditions in Rumania, than any other country of eastern Europe be cause that country has become all but inaccessible. But the few reports that can be relied upon Indicate complete, economic de terioration ... According to all available re ports, Poland occupies an excep tional position in the communist world. Reconstruction has been pushed further, production lev els have been pushed higher than anywhere in eastern Eu rope, and the standard of living has been maintained at a fairly good level." Poland's success is attributed to its inheritance of a large min ing and industrial area front Germany as a result of the war, to continuance of a considerable number of private enterprisers and, third, to the great energy of the Polish, people. Other re , porters have told a similar story of Polish : progress. While the Handler report may be accepted as fair and reason ably accurate, we would make a mistake to assume the com plete failure of the communist system in- the satellite countries. Most of them had the begin nings of industry, Czechoslo vakia was well advanced and the rough, forcing tactics of com munist planners may accelerate production. Our response is not to ignore that progress if it comes, nor to try to blight it, but to sustain; our own economic de velopment, both for the welfare of our people and for our own political security.

Inflammation of the wall of a vein, together with the formation of a clot at the site of the in flammation, is known as throm bophlebitis. There are two chief causes of this condition: injury to the walls of the vein, and changes in the blood. Both are apparent in the usual case since thrombophle bitis most often deve lopes in a varicose or dilated vein. The lin ing membrane in such veins is always damaged to some extent because of the stretching they have undergone. Then, too, the blood flowing through them is always slowed down to a point where the blood contains less ox ygen then normal. There are many contributing causes of this condition such as malignant tumors in various parts of the body, and s condi tion of the blood known as poly cythemia, in which there is a great increase in the number of red cells. Of course, the giving of an injection into the varicose vein is followed by inflammation and blood clot formation. This is desirable, however, in order to get rid of the varicose vein. When thrombophlebitis devel ops in the veins near the surface of the body, there are some who do not believe that any treat ment is necessary. The patient is permitted to be active. It is not a good idea to keep him in bed. If the blood clot formation progresses so that it begins to affect larger veins, two forms of treatment are employed. One is the giving of substances such as Literary Guidepost By W. G.

If this treatment is not carried out, the blood clot formation -may progress Into larger veins, and then a bit of tha clotted blood may be carried to the lung or other vital partji of the body, producing serious damage. ; One of the most common cause of thrombophlebitis in tha' upper veins is long bed rest M a result either of some illness or following childbirth. The con dition may also be due to injuries to the veins and may develop from many infections, such as pneumonia or tularemia. In any case, if the cause can be fcjund and eliminated, the patient' is greatly benefited. Immediate treatment is necessary in all cases, and the substances which slow down the clotting ofjLthe blood are extremely useful. Of course, the treatment it all such cases should be carried out under the directions of a doctor.
