' , " ' f This is Labor Day V.;.:' ; -V: "' '" - :v' ' Recognition of the community of interest 1 and responsibility by. labor, agriculture and business have superseded In a general way the unilateral purpose for which Labor Day was Inaugurated more than seven decades ago, but the first Monday in September none theless remains firmly fixed as a time when wage earners (and aren't most of us?) take the fore. ' . It Is no longer a day of whst might be termed militant bemoaning, however.' It Is a day of peace rather than foment and agitation . --a day dedicated to the great contribution of - , those who work and to further realization, of the potential inherent in the wealth of our ' ' land. . .' ,,t v ' ' Labor Day, now observed by an the states and territories and sanctioned by Congress since 1894, grew out of an idea instituted by the Noble Order of the Knights of Labor 74 . years ago. The Knights founded as a secret ' fraternal order by Uriah S. Stevens and fel low garment workers in 1869, grew into a 700,000-member organization, reaching into., even states from its Philadelphia headquar ters, "v ;-;:v"-v. t At first, the Knigbta of Labor set worker ownership of all enterprises as its goal. Phy sicians, lawyers, politicians and liquor dealers were the only exclusions. But its mystic rites--; soon were forgotten, and within 10 years its purpose was given as "making Industrial and " moral worth, not wealth, the true standard of - national and individual greatness." Its goal: ... To secure to workers the full enjoyment of the wealth they create." --" v . The organization became even more effect ive under its moderated policies, and. soon avoided strike action in favor of boycott , when such were effective. It declined rap idly after 1886, however, due to several fac torsa defeat in a railroad strike; contro versy over strikes tc enforce an eight-hoar day, and strike between industrial and craft . unionism. It was a splinter of those who fa-: vored craft unionism which In 1888 gave rise, to the American Federation of Labor. .Now, . with wounds, healed after another such split, the AFLrCIO this year emerges as a united -labor front ,..-.. - ? - ' The respect and dignity which has marked Labor Day observances for many years is sym bolic of the fundamental greatness of these United States,..,, - : ' V-. Streets Doubly Important t. The fire on Salem's waterfront Saturday afternoon, with equipment blocking the Com- ' mercial Street through highway near Oregon Pulp k Paper, Brought sudden realization of some of the hazards of one-way grids and . street closures, r r. 1 Southbound traffic, some of it tourist and A therefore with no knowledge of Salem's ar teries, was diverted east on Trade Street. It - could not resume its southbound course at the next intersection Liberty -because. Lib erty is one-way northbound. So it progressed to the second block east Here it turned south, all right, on one-way High Street But It could get only one block, to Mill because of bridge repairs on" High. . , It couldnt turn back west on Mill to any advantage because Mill doesn't go through to Commercial on which traffic could haveTJeen resumed.; So it had to turn east on Hill, grop ing its way to Church, then south on Church ' to Mission, and west on Mission back to Com mercial and the through highway. , ,, - The incident Illustrated sharply how im portant it is not to have prolonged str.eet closures in areas where sudden traffic hind rances may turn a comparatively quiet street ' into a main highway. The South High Street bridge, by contract doesnt have to be fin ished until next August But we hope the work, as well as similar projects now under way in other areas, will be completed as soon ' as possible. - " : Portsiders Get Consideration Not so long sgo a left-handed youngster ' had somewhat of a rough time. His parents were torn between allowing what was re garded as an oddity to continue or taking a chance on what was called personality change ; by nagging him into doing things the star board way. The natural lefties seldom De came as proficient with the right hand, but many of them, tinder parental guidance, be came fairly adept with both. It was a bothy ' ersome problem. ...v:: '. 'i ;-.T- l v.. .1 '.-' . Times have changed for the better for the port-slders, however. Not very often is a le termined and sustained effort made to change natural proclivity, and now comes an an nouncement from the U. S. Office of Educa tion that arrangements are being made to ac commodate them. o "School architects, designers and manufac-' turers of school furniture and equipment "and . school administrators are planning changes and improvements in school facilities," it was declared. The announcement also predicted a record school enrollment this fall It looks like better days are arriving for the natural-born left-handed youth. But we. still look for the port-siden to make a bee line for the left end of luncheon tables so they can stow away food without bumping srmi with their majority brethren. - ' v-'-V-4 jfV&a ' ' ' - .. i.

RYAN AP Ferelf a News Aaalyit In spite of the efforts ef Wash ington to pur water on troubled oil. a tense situation has been built up throughout the whole Mediterranean area in advance of today's negotiations in Cairo on the Suez Carnal crisis. It would not take much to make the situation explode into a genuine threat to. world peace. . : The soviet union chose a mo ment when the entire Middle East was in an uproar to take an un precedented step. It " volunteered to the world tha information that the Russians detonated anew and different sort of nuclear weapon applicable to "the arming of va rious kinds of troops." In other words, a tactical atomic weapon. a The Moscow announcement was almost simultaneous with Presi dent Eisenhower's statement that the Russians had touched off a powerful new atomic explosion. usually there is a long lag be tween the American announce ment that is Soviet test has been delected and a Soviet statement that one was achieved. The answer this time seems to be that the announcement could not wait, in view of tbe Middle I .: t situation and that is where thee is a hint of threat to world pe-i'-e. . ; i l iiish and French troops are p on Cyprus, ready for ! nry action. Israelis and I .jns are engaged in new, I y c! .,:..

A world war situation then would be set up. Thus, the Russian announce ments of a new tactical atomic weapon at thia time might be in tended to nave deep meaning a warning that the Russians were ready for whatever might be com ing out of the Middle East crisis. When the North Atlantic Treaty Council was called into session for Wednesday Just two days after the scheduled negotiation meet ings on the Sues with Nasser this, too, could have been in terpreted as a warning, it was a clear indication that the West ern powers view the Sues Canal crisis as a grave matter involving the security and future well being of its .members. , . The decision of the council to meet could havs been a warning to tbe Russians. At the same time, the Soviet . announcement of its new weapon which it seemed too eager to tell the world quickly could have been a grave warning to the West ' Such an exchange of warnings,', therefore, would seem to mean" what both aides have real fears that tbe Sues crisis, and the gen eral crisis ei the Middle East, might get out of control. eoesa't then a NATO Council which is set for Paris on Wednes day will take up tbe matter. It still seems quite improbable that Britain and France will in voke force at the Sues unless there is some evert provocation auch as the stoppage of shipping , on me canal route. In the end the problem must be settled through agreement with Egypt, and au avenues should be ex plored to effect auch a settlement through pacific means without a trial of military might.

Safely Valve 4-H Judging Continues at Oregon Fair Offers Her Opinions To the Editor; I aee by the paper that they want the people to vote for $50,- 000 to improve the Salem Air port. Mr. Councilman, did you ever atop long enough to think maybe the people would like to have a little of their own hard earned money to improve their homes, or at least be able to keep it in liveable condition in stead of paying it all for taxes to improve parks, airports, and put up schools that cost beyond all reason. I am glad to know that Mr. O'Hara is for the people, Water rates raised last month ,until lots of people had to let their lawns and flowers dry up. Now this month the aewer rates were raised. I wonder where it will atop. 1 believe it will slow down some when we wake up and vote wo for a lot o( unneces sary expenditures. It's surely a good thing someone can't get; control oi me iresn air lor i suppose we would have to pay lor that also. I lust wonder what is wrong with Mr. Woody Smith. Doesn t he have what it takes to run against Wayne Morse? If not, who would want him in wash' ington, D.C.? Morse changed hia mind so what? Docsn t every' one have that privilege? Maybe he's auch a good man, some peo ple hated to see him change. My mother always aaid, "A wise man changes his mind, but fool never does." I hope Mr. McKay makes more remarks like he did in hia speech last nite on TV, for the people were not all asleep when be was Secretary of the Interior,. - If be lieve be makes more votes every time he makes a speech not for nimseu, out for Mr. Wayne Morse. - . Mr. McKay ia quoted as say- ng. "Why right now, I believe 'd get more votes In Texas than in Oregon." 1 believe the explanation for thia ia very simple. The people In Texas don't know Mr. McKay and his record like the people of his home state the Oregoniana. Mrs. G. E. Griffith, WON. 18th.

Sept. 2 Ul-Ezio Pinza was rolled aboard the I'. S. liner Independence in a whrcl chair today for his return to the United States. The ailing, Italian-born stage and screen star burst into tears as a waiting crowd cheered him. Ten days ago Pinza fell in his bathroom, suffering what his wife described as a stroke and his doc tor called a light heart attack. It was not a heart attack.' the singer told reporters before the liner headed toward New York. "1 just was too tired because I drove for five straight days on a trip to Germany. When 1 fell in my bath room, 1 hit my lrgs on the bathtub and that's the reason I'm sitting here. He pointed down to wheel chair. Pinza said he cancelled his c h e d ul e d appearance in the Broadway show, "A Very Special Baby," because rehearsals were due to start Sept. 17. He plans to go to his home at Hartford, Conn., and rest "as the physicians have ordered." Pinza was accompanied br his wife, Doris, and hia three chil dren, Clelia, Peter and Gloria. to do, keep busy." Townsend said that he, expects to live another 20 vears, "even longer, if it takes that many more rears for my dream to come true." "What with all the medical and technical Improvements science has discovered in .the past 10 years, there is no reason why the average life span of an Individu al shouldn't reach 100," he said. Rut comfort and financial se curity aren't all that the older person needs for a happy life, he aid. The. retired person has to keep active channeling his talents so that thev' aren't put into a ftlintr cabinet, hut can be used by the younger generation in stead. At the current time, Townsend said, there are about 20 million people in the United States who are "confined to a state of living that it is a shame." These million, of people are not benefiting society, nor are thev creating new ideas from their manv years of experience, he said One way to make them useful, he added, is to make them spend money, which will keen the national income circulating. Right now," he aaid. "if we adopt the Tnwnsend plan, our economists figure that If the United States collected a two per cent gross income tax, ,'based on the i wages and services) 20 million people could retire at the age of 60 and-receive $133 a month." Currently Townsend Is spend ing a good deal of his time trav eling throughout the U. S., with an annual layover of several months in Washington, P. C, and national headquarters in Cleve-' land.
