TOQUE
Today is' United Nations Day,
the eighth anniversary of the
establishment of this organization
as an international body design
ed primarily to preserve peace
in the world.
October 24, 1953 finds UN
heavily engaged in wrestling with
grave and bitter disputes. The
most serious of course is Korea
where the process of executing a
truce agreement produces strain
and controversy. A fresh and
grievous outbreak in Palestine
reminds the world that the truce
between Israel and the Arab
states is an uneasy one. And Tri-
este.vlong off the agenda at UN,
has been projected into the ar
ena, of debate by Russia svish
insky. Other issues embitter the at
mosphere if they do not disturb
the decorum at United Nations:
South Africa's race legislation
(which only this week prompted
Premier Malan to call UN a "can
cer eating at the peace of the
world"); nationalist aspirations
of Morocco: demands of back
ward nations for a sharing of
wealth. The forum of the nations
becomes a sounding board for
the proclamation of the woes of
the nations, and their ambitions.
Perhaps the significant fact is
that United Nations has survived
eieht years of tension, 6f-cold
war and hot, of conquest without
violence (the satellite states), of
border conflict, of resurgent na
tionalism. It has; and no nation
has withdrawn its membership.
Instead a score of countries are
eager for admission, kept out
only by the tactics of the

A council spokesman later told
reporters that the reports indicated
a "sound present situation and an
encouraging outlook for 19oV al
though conditions vary from in
dustry to industry.
The spokesman said the reports,
indicating moderate declines in
sales and production in several
industries, should be considered in
the light of the fact that the econ
omy in 1353 was buoyed by the
"artificial stimulus of war and
mobilization.

Doubted
By B. L. LIVINGSTONE
WASHINGTON CB The firing
or forced resignation of 1,456 gov
ernment employes as poor secur
ity risks was announced Friday
by the White House.
It represented the results of the
first four months of, operation of
new security program set up
by President Eisenhower last May
27. ' i
Others Released V
At the same time. White House
Press Secretary James Hagerty
told news men that since the Eis
enhower administration took of
fice. 145,000 other federal employes
have been let go for economy rea
sons. When the new administration
took over last January, there were
approximately 2,600,000 employees
on government rolls. On Aug. 31
the Civil Service Commission put
government employment at 2,445,
200. For Four Months '
The figures on security separa
tions were submitted to the Cabi
net and the National Security
Council by Philip Young, chairman
of the Civil Service Commission.
They cover only the four-months
period from May. 27,- when the
President put into operation his
new security program, to Sept 30.
Young's statement said 862 em
ployes were dismissed for security
reasons, and 593 resigned.

A state of siege has been laid
down in the Cottbus area, near
the Polish and Czech frontiers.
The Communist East announced
some details of the outbreak of
violence, which apparently started
Oct 10 and is still a threat
In Cottbus, the official Commu
nist newspaper blamed "fascist
murderers" and drew a parallel
with 1932 and early 1933, when
the Nazis and the Reds clashed
through Germany in street battles
that took hundreds of lives.
Pieced together from admissions
by the East and from under
ground and Allied sources in West
Berlin, the picture in southeast
Germany is one of high tension.

BensonFails to Head Off Caravan
Of lred Capital-Bound Cattlemen
By GARDNER L. BRIDGE
WASHINGTON W President
Eisenhower and Secretary of Ag
riculture Benson grappled with a
growing farm problem at an hours-
iong conference in the White House
Friday as Benson tried vainly to
stop a caravan of cattlemen from
descending on the capital. I
Confronted by mounting crop
surpluses .and reports of unrest
among farmers throughout the
country, Eisenhower and Benson
presumably canvassed all angles
of the farm policy they have prom

Redisricting
Law Test Set
For High Court
Those opposing reapportion
ment of the State Legislature will
take to the Oregon Supreme
Court the recent decision of Cir
cuit Judge Rex Kimmell of Mar
ion County, holding valid the con
stitutional amendment providing
for reapportionment
John F. . Steelhammer, Salem
attorney for State Rep. David
Baum, La Grande, said Friday
that Baum had ordered the ap
peaL -It was Baum who filed
suit to contest the legality of
the amendment which Oregon
voters approved at the last gener
al election.
District Changed
Defendants to the suit are Sec
retary of State Earl T. Newbry
and Attorney General Robert Y.
Thornton.
Under reapportionment plan
Baum's district would be expand
ed to include Wallowa as well as
Union County which he now rep
resents.
"It is our feeling that the is
sues involved in this case are
impottahVlo'-botVmembers of
the legislature and the public,
Steelhammer declared, "and
therefore should go to the state
supreme court for final consid
eration.
Termed Confusing
Steelhammer said many mem
bers of the legislature and pros
pective candidates for legislative
seats at the 1954 primary elec
tion are confused by the reappor
tionment amendment and appar
ently do not know what course
to follow.
In event Judge Kimmel's de
cision is upheld by the supreme
court the legislature will be re
apportioned for the first time in
42 years. The constitution now
provides for reapportionment
every 10 years but this provision
has been ignored.

Mrs. Neff as a character witness.
She testified she had seen Bauer

PALESTINE ISSUES
UNITED NATIONS. N. Y. J
The U. N. Secrrity Council Friday
scheduled two .meetings for next
Tuesday on the boiling Palestine
issue.
Catron Family Comes Back Home
THE DALLES 11. The Willis
Catron family is back home. They
came, Mrs. Catron and her seven
children, to bury her husband. And
like always, the goodness of peo
ple easjed their trip.
It was just last May that the
Catrons came to people's atten
tion. They had asked then at San
Diego for help for their baby,
Julie, who was HL
People responded, of course, to
help the family which had no
money to show for harvest work
down the West Coast and a foray
into Mexico, taken because Catron
knew there were poor people there
and "I though we might fit in."
Briefly, at San Diego, they were
put up .in a hotel where the chil
dren's chief joy was a gleaming
We are not going to pull out
anything entirely . new," Benson
said after the meeting.
"We are going to have some
recommendations for improve
ments in the present program."
While-Benson was closeted with
the President and staff experts,
his office released a telegram he
sent to the head of the National
Farmers Union urging that a dele
gation of about 250 Western Cat
tlemen headed for Washington be
fcalled back.
But President James G. Patton
of the Farmers Union, which or
ganized the procession, replied it
was too late.
In an accompanying statement,
the Farmers Union's Washington
office accused Benson's depart
ment of hemming and hawing,
quibbling and procrastinating.
The cattlemen's caravan, assem
bled from more than 20 West and
Midwest states, was due in Wash
ington Sunday for the announced
purpose of laying their problems
directly before Benson and, if pos
sible, the President himself.
In his telegram to Pattqn, Ben
son said a conference involving
"such a large number of people
is not suitable for an adequate
exchange of ideas" and would
"accomplish nothing."
Benson urged Patton to recon
sider "exposing working cattlemen
to the hardships of the caravan"
and added: '
"I have the greatest interest in
the working cattlemen and their
views and would regret very much
to see them undergo this unneces
sary hardship."
The caravan, traveling mainly
by bus, was due to spend Friday
night at Springfield, 111.
Benson proposed that instead of
coming to Washington the cattle
men organize a series of regional
meetings around the country at
which top aides of the Agriculture
Department could hear their
views.
'In lieu of this suggestions," he
added, "I would be glad to meet
with a small r workable,, group .in
Washington who can represent
the views of the J50 in the pro
posed caravan.
Patton replied:
"The hardships of a bus trip
are inconsequential compared to
Traffic Light
At Capitol,
Court Sought
State and city officials Friday
proposed a traffic light for bet
ter control at Court and North
Capitol Streets, a junction where
additional traffic troubles appar
ently have resulted from Salem's
new one-way street grid. -
City Manager J. L. Franzen
said he would recommend a light
to the City Council and State
Highway Engineer R. H. Bald
ock said he would make the same
recommendation to the State
Highway Commission. w State and
city would share costs.
Franzen said the light would
aid traffic even if North Capitol
eventually becomes a one-way
street from Court to Center
Streets, as the engineers origin
ally proposed when Salem went
to the grid. Court Street .now is
one-way eastbound up to Capitol
Street Both Capitol at that point
and Court Street beyond are two
way. Otherwise Friday, the third
day of operation of the new grid
brought but few additional com
plaints to city officials.

an airplane plant job, but his
health was bad and he didn't take

In June they were ordered out
of a ramshackle home and they
began to drift east
Last week Mrs. Catron wrote
from Miami, Fla.. to a reporter
who had written about them while
in San Diego: "Willis is here in
the hospital. He don't even know
me. All his trouble is that what
he had is cancer. He will die any
time. I love him so much."
Then he died and Mrs. Catron
gathered her seven children and
started home. There was a little
help from welfare people and
some from his brother who lives
near here. v

"After these men-have traveled
thousands of miles to discuss
their plight with you it would cer
tainly seem advisable that you ex
tend to them : the courtesy of a
hearing. They will all wish to see
you while m Washington."
-Benson, who has been reported
leaning toward a more flexible
system, said the administration's
new program would be ready by
the time Congress reconvenes in
January and he said:
"I don't think it will be any
thing revolutionary."

Secretary of Agriculture Benson,
under heavy tire for his farm
policies attempted Friday to
head off a . caravan of ired
catlemen bound for the capital
to protest policies.

Jet Aircraft
LOS ANGELES lB Production
of jet warplanes at two big North
American Aviation Co. plants was
halted Friday by a strike which
a union official termed the begin
ning of an industry-wide struggle
between unions and the aircraft
industry.
An estimated r32,000 production
workers were idle. The walkout
began last midnight at plants in
the Los Angeles area and at Co
lumbus, Onio.
The main issue is a demand of
the CIO United Auto Workers for
a wage boost of 23.4. cents an hour.
The company offers a 4 per cent
general increase.'
In Washington, the Defense De
partment's Office of Industrial Re
lations said that it had conveyed
the military services interest in
settlement of the strike to the Na
tional Mediation Board. .
