Need of Electric Power
In America's Defense
System Is Stressed
Sen. Wayne L. Morse of Oregon,
speaking before some 200 persons
today at a luncheon In the Pilot
Butte Inn dining room, touched on
the problems of government, re
ported with some off the record
Information on the Russian situa
tion and informally discussed la
bor legislation. The meeting was
held under sponsorship of the
muiis ciuo, wun Aiva c. Goodrich
presiding.
- Joining with the Lions in the
luncheon program were the Ki
wanians and Rotarians, with Jack
Burpee and Carl .B. Hoogner
speaking briefly in behalf of their
respective clubs.
Sen. Morse arrived from Eu
gene yesterday and last night was
n tpeaxer at a meeting in Red
mond. He is to return Jo the uni
versity city this evening.
; Compliments Cordon
r "Under the leadershiD of Sen.
Guy Cordon, your Washington
delegation has worked as a united
team," Sen. Morse said in paying-
u-iouie 10 uregons senior senator.
Sen. Morse' touched on the large
appropriations obtained for Ore
gon and added that it was the late
Sen. Charles L. McNarv who laid
the groundwork for much of the
federal aid granted Oregon in re
cent years.
Development of electric power,
Sen. Morse declared, will be Amer
ica's greatest defense need in the
coming 10 years. "Let us be bru
tally frank", the senator added, if
war comes it will be an atomic
war. The western powers must
Win the peace short of appease
ment, he added, declaring that
Russia must be made aware of
America's ability to keep thi;
peace. . , : .
Power is vital if America is to
defend itself, Sen. Morse said, ad
ding that he based his remarks On
confidential information obtained
is a member of the armed serv-
s committee of the senate. ;
Discusses Labor
Sen. Morse devoted a part of
his address to a discussion of in
dustrial relations and industrial
peace. "The best way to protect
property rights", the senator said,
is to protect human rights. He
predicted that by 1950, the Taft
Hartley act will ndt fee an issue,
then touched on the Morse-Ives
bill.
The senator said that America
twice has placed its flag in places
where it could not be defended.
The first time, he said, was when
the flag was erected in the out
posts of the Pacific, without any
defense between it and the home
land. American boys, he said, paid
with their lives for that mistake.
More recently, the senator added,
the flag was placed near the soviet
ramparts in Europe again with
out adequate defense. Sen. Morse
mentioned this in touching on his
vote on military manpower legis
lation and the Marshall plan. He
upheld the Marshall plan, declar
ing that last March the movement
of the Russians in Europe was
westward, with Italy as one of the
objectives.
Nearly half a hundred persons
remained after the dinner hour
for a question and answer period,
with most of the questions touch
ing on the Russian situation.

One pf the largest crowds ever

The audience literally "went
wild" on several occasions, in ap
plauding specialty acts that high

the final chorus number, 5 Jack
Halbrook, producer-director of the
show, was called on the stage and
given a generous ovation. Also
recognized for their work were
Don Conner, property manager,
Gordon Randall, ticket chairman,

40 amateur entertainers. .
Prima donna of the show was
B.A. (Dutch) Stover, who brought

Truman Raps Taft
On Labor Dealing
WashingtonSept. 14 (IP) Pres
ident Truman has accused Sen.
Robert A. Taft, R., O., of "en
tirely improper conduct" in at
tempting "to put the heat on"
the national labor relations board,
the White House disclosed today.
The White House, released a let
ter sent by the president on Aug.
20 to David P. Findling, associate
general counsel of the NLRB.
The Issue concerns a conference
held in July by Taft, NLRB of.
ficials and executives of Chicago
newspapers involved in a strike
with the International Typograph
ical union.
Findling, who attended the con
ference called by Taft, reported
to Truman that the Ohio senator
thought there was a "serious
breakdown" In enforcement ma
chinery of the Taft-Hartley law
in ine n u case.
An Injunction had been issued
directing the union, among other
things, to cease demanding a
closed shop from employers. The
Taft-Hartley law forbids the clos
ed shop.
Findling reported that Taft feK
that since the board had sought
and obtained the Injunction, it
had the duty of seeing that It was
strictly enforced.
Truman said In his Aug. 20 let
ter to Findling that "It seems to
me that It is entirely Improper
for any senator, no matter what
his politics or his rank In the sen
ate may be, to attempt to put the
neat on one or the executive de
partments." RECORDING NOT PERMITTED

Lines at Oil Plant
Six Persons Are Hospitalized
In Pitched Battle In
Near Big Standard Refinery
Richmond, Calif., Sept. 14 KVE) Steel-helmeted policemen,
firing tear gas shells, broke up massed picket lines outside
the big Standard Oil refinery here today after an hour-long
pitched battle, forcing nearly 3,000 COI oil strikers to flee
from street barricades.
Six persons were hospitalized and "scores of others" suf
fered minor injuries as pickets fought off with clubs and
stones a police riot squad attempting to escort non-striking
AFL workers into the plant. T" "
Living up to their threat to
"give 'em action if they want
it," the rioting strikers battled
gas-masked police and depu
ties from behind hastily
thrown-up street barricades
until the choking clouds of tear
gas forced them to retreat. ,
Get Into Plant
Nearly 200 AFL boilermakers
and machinists managed to make
their way into the refinery, how
ever, and AFL teamsters and la
borers were meeting later today
to decide whether to report to
their Jobs.
The CIO strikers retired to. a
hastily-summoned "union meet
ing" to consider further attempts
to keep the huge refinery closed
In their walkout against Standard
and six other California oil com
panies. Police were withdrawn except
lor two guards at each gate, and a
aesK sergeant said tnings are get
tirig back to routine." ,
Cameras were smashed and car
windows were broken by the
angry, shouting pickets in the
brief flareup of violence. The irrl
fating smoke from the gas prolec
tiles forced many bystanders, in
cluding women and children, to
run from the area. Highway traf
fic was blocked temporarily.
100 Police
The entire Richmond police
force, 100 strong, was reinforced
by 25 Contra Costa county deputy
sheriffs and an undetermined
number of California highway pa
trolmen, une of the patrolmen
was among those hurt.
Meanwhile, a possible break in
the strike came with report that
the union had reduced its wage
demands against Standard Oil.
The union reportedly offered to
settle if the six struck oil compa
nies would grant hourly pay in
creases of 12 Mi cents retroactive
from July 3 to Sept. 1 and 19 cents
an hour after that.
A company spokesman said no
decision had been made whether
to accept. The union s original de
mand was for 21 cents an hour.
The companies offered 12 cents.
