Revised Anti-IFickefing
Measure Provides For
Labor (Elections Bureau
By PAUL W. HARVEY JR.
Associated Press Writer
A new labor bill, banning organizational picketing and creating
a state division of labor elections under the governor, was approved
Sunday night by the Senate labor and industries cpmmittee.
The committee will introduce it today, and try to get the Senate
and House to vote on it Tuesday, which looks like it will be the
last day or the session.

On Saturday the Senate approved
House-passed legislation to ex
pand courses of instruction at all
the institutions under the state
Board of Higher Education (except
the Medical-Dental school). This
now puts up to Governor Patterson
the final decision on these sharply
contested proposals. The Governor
has made no public statement of
his position on higher education,
but his early expression of concern
at a meeting of the State Board and
his appointment of a new man to
succeed a member whose term ex
pired, indicate a high degree of
doubt as to the wisdom of "the
course the board has been pur
suing. Whether that will extend
to vetoing the newly passed bills is
a question which soon will have its
answer.
The legislation was based on the
report of Dr. Anderson of the Uni
versity of Ohio who was invited to
Oregon to make a survey and re
port on how to provide more teach
ers for our schools. "Anderson
recommended allowing the state
university and state college to

in restricted fields, leading to a
bachelor's degree. He also rec
ommended that Portland State get
the same permission for teacher
training.
The State Board took two bites
at the Anderson apple, and ac

It is a substitute for House bill
663, which the House approved,
but which the Senate committee
believes is unacceptable to. both
labor and management They
also feared it might be uncon
stitutional.
The new version keeps a ban
on picketing to compel workers
to join a union, or to compel an
employer to sign a union con
tract
Limits Picketing
However, it would permit pick-
eting of a non-union firm if the
union could prove it was picket
ing for some other purpose than
to influence employes to join the
union.
ine committee passed over
Gov. Paul Patterson's recent pro
posal for a 15-day waiting period
to precede any picketing ban.
The state division of labor
elections would be headed by an
$8,000 a year examiner, appoint
ed by the governor.
When a union says it has
majority of the workers in
plant it would tell the examiner,
who would call and supervise an
election of the employes.
The examiner, who would have
power to order employers and
unions to stop unfair practices
under the act would be backed
up by the courts, which could
issue orders and injunctions to
stop those illegal acts.
Worked for Week
The bill was drafted by four
members of the committee
Sens. Paul Geddes, Roseburg:
Philip S. Hitchcock, Klamath
Falls; Warren McMinimee. Tilla
mook; and S. " Eugene TUlen,
Portland. They worked all the
past week on it
House Din era banned .any
picketing unless a majority of
the workers of a firm belonged
to a union. Under the Senate ver
sion, if a union picketing an un
organized business could prove it
was picketing for some purpose
other than to influence the em
ployes to join a union, then the
picketing would be legal.
Sen. Phil Brady, chairman of
the committee and a Portland
labor leader, was the only mem
ber of the seven-man committee
who opposed the bill-
Brady objected to letting
courts issue injunctions against
picketing, but Geddes replied
that without the injunction, the
bill would be unenforceable.

SEOUL (AVFour U. S. airmen Sunday reported seeing a small
"white, rounded, delta-shaped object" flying at 60 to 80 miles an
hour over Community territory on the Korean Western Front
An official intelligence report said the sighting was made north
of Pork Chop and Old Baldy Hills where heavy fighting has raged
the past few days.
An officer with a frontline di
vision who asked not to be identi
fied by name told The Associated
Press that other luminous objects
traveling at super-sonic speeds of
800 miles per hour, had been ob
served in the Baldy-Pork Chop
area and tracked on radar also
within the last few days.
However the official G-2 report
made no mention of these other
incidents.
The release said:
"At approximately 1 p.m., Sun
day aerial observers in two sep
arate planes flying routine recon
naissance missions, observed a
white, rounded, delta-shaped ob
ject It was estimated to be five to
seven feet in diameter. The ob
servers had no idea of its depth
or thickness. '
It was traveling between 60 and
80 miles per hour in a vftrating
motion. The course of flight was
north northeast to south south
west over enemy territory."
Intelligence officers did not at
tempt to evaluate the report''
The four .airmen who . reported
seeing the strange object were the
