illi Russia used the United Na
tions veto power to kill a security
council action aimed at Albania
today, then attacked the Greek
government for the first time
since President Truman proposed
United States aid to Greece and
Turkey.
Andrei Gromyko, the soviet
delegate) invoked the veto power
to nullify a security council reso
lution finding Albania guilty of
knowing about mines which dam
aged two British destroyer and
killed 44 seamen in the Corfu
channel last October 22.
Complaint Voiced
In his subsequent attack on the
Greek government, Gromyko
made no mention of the American
program to aid Greece and Tur
key and prevent the spread of
communism in the eastern Medi
terranean. . . ... ..... ...
Gromyko complained that the
Greek government failed to com
ply with the secretary council
regulations in its treatment of
soviet delegates on Ihe UN Bal
kans Investigating commission.
Charge Made
He referred to the Greek gov
ernment's refusal to "guarantee
the safety" of a soviet representa
tive and some other commission
members who remained behind In
Greek guerilla territory recently
to interview a Greek guerilla
general.
Gromyko changed the govern

cil, which sent the commission to
investigate trouble between
Greece and Balkan neighbors

Plans Outlined
Plans for a "Salute to Bend"
week, in which industrial oppor
tunities In this area will be ad
vertised on a local, statewide and
national scale, were outlined this
noon by George P. Griffiths, pro
motion manager of the Oregon
ian, at a joint luncheon meeting
of the Lions and Kiwanis clubs at
the Pilot Butte Inn.
A feature of the week, May 5
to 10, will be a full page adver
tisement on Bend in Newsweek
magazine. The Oregonian will
carry a full page article on Bend
in its Sunday magazine section
and this city will be featured on
"Horizons of Tomorrow," a radio
program originating over KGW
and to be carried by KBND.
New Migration Here
Griffiths said the northwest Is
now experiencing its third great
migration and the current adver
tising campaign is to throw the
spotlight on several communities
in Oregon doing outstanding jobs
in promoting industrial develop
ment. With Griffiths In Bend are Ted
Bushman, of the MacWilkins,
Cole and Weber advertising agen
cy, and Miss Helen Alexiene, of
the KGW staff. They will remain
in Bend today and tomorrow lo
gather information to be used in
the advertising program.
A main feature of the joint
club program today was an ap
pearance of the high school a
cappella choir, directed by Don
Pence. The choir presented four
well-received numbers with

1. Kreak up industry wide
bargaining by forbidding the
certification of a single bar
gaining agent for two or more
competing employers.
2. Withhold Wagner act
rights from unions striking
for a closed shop. Voluntary clos
ed shop agreements would still be
permissible.
3. Permit the attorney general
to apply to U. S. district courts
for injunctions against strikes
that imcc'i-il the nublic health and
! safety.
I 4. Provide for 20 to 30 day cool
ling off periods before strikes or
lockouts can take place on a dis
pute over an existing contract.
The cooling off period is not pro
vided In a dispute in which a new
contract is under consideration.
Pruning Expected
The bill was prepared only as a
basis for discussion and many of
the controversial sections may not
be approved by the full commit
tee. No member is bound by its
provisions until it and other pro
posals have been voted upon.
A major provision would for
bid the national labor relations
board to certify as a collective
bargaining agent any union when
one or more of its officers Is a
member of the communist party
or who by reason of active and
consistent promotion or support
of the policies, teachings and doc
trines of the communist party can
reasonably he regarded as belong
ing to or affiliated wltn such par-
Terms outlined
The measure would place labor
unions under the provisions of the
Sherman anti-trust act.
Ut
would forbid federal courts to is-
sue Injunctions under that law-
in any dispute that arose out of
"terms and conditions ot em
ployment. Industrywide bargaining would
be permitted for plants only 50
miles apart and with less than 100
employes each. In addition, local
unions would be permitted to af
filiate with a national organiza
tion providing that the terms of
their bargaining "are not subject
directly or indirectly to common
control or approval."
Declaration Set Forth
The act would set up a number
of policy statements including a
declaration:
"The public shall have the right
to freedom from strikes, lockouts
and other forms of industrial
strife growing out of matters
that may be adjudicated, adjusted
or settled under the provisions
of this act, in the courts of law,
or under the provisions of collec
tive bargaining agreements."

change the act by placing a 75
cent base for each child figured
on total daily membership as the
amount to be levied in each rural
school district. If a district finds
it necessary to go over 75 cents,
it must hold an election. If a dis
trict does not need that much it
can request the.county board for
permission to levy only for its
needs.
Restaurants Told
Competition Due
Chicago, March 25 HPi Restau

that they must utilize all their re

Walter F. Clark, of Seattle,

organization's convention here
that "we are definitely in a buy

liberal spending binge is but a

"On the basis of annual depre 1

paid for itself, but it will take
about ' $900,000 to replace the

Also Released
By Officials
Washington, March 25 (IP)
I PuHcation of the Yalta and Pots-

the preliminary jockeying by the
wartime "Big Three" on repara
tions and other points at issue
in the German peace treaty.
The two documents, plus the
250-word text of the Tehran
agreement, were released by the
state department in answer to
congressional demands for full
disclosure of commitments made
by the United States at the war
time conferences.
The texts disclosed no new ma

pleted the background for the
bickering af the current Moscow
conference on a German peace
treaty.

The United States will fight
such "ruthlessly aggressive com

He warned the Japanese
against following the leadership
of any group promising direct
rule in place of parliamentary
representation. Otherwise, he
said, they are likely to find them
selves under "a worse dictator
ship" than in the past.
. Such a dictatorship he said,
would be "not of the proletariat
but of a handful of political
party bosses or of one strong
man."
Democracy, MacArthur's
spokesman said, is facing its
greatest crisis today and is not
safe from attack in Japan.
