Newspaper Page TextPAGE SIX THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND, OREGON MONDAY, MARCH 20, 1950 Outlet For U. S. Surplus Foods Sought In ECA Washington, March 20 UPi The house foreign affairs committee voted today to slash $1,000,000,000 Irom ECA authorizations lor fis cal 1951 and substitute an equiva lent value of surplus commodities from the farm price support pro gram. The cut, contained In an amend ment sponsored by Rep. John M Vorys, R O., would reduce ac tual casn funds for ECA to $1, .950,000,000 but the $1,000,000,000 slash would be made up in food. Vorys contended that it would protect the foreign aid program against drastic cuts when the measure reaches the house floor. Vorys said the vote was 10:7. Opposition Voiced But chairman John Kee, D., W, Va said he opposed the amend ment. Kec said it would hamstring ECA and would "cripple" the do mestic price-support program. He declined to give the committee Jine-up on the vote . but said it was "not along party lines. "While on its face," Kee said "It would seem to save a billion dollars a year, to my mind it doesn t save anything for the government." In fact, he said, the amendment will actually boost costs because ECA could buy more foods and commodities for a billion dollars than the department of agricul ture can buy. ECA buys at mar ket price while the agriculture department must purchase at 90 per cent of parity under the price support program. Chinese Reds Hold Americans Washington, March 20 P Chinese communist authorities have refused to let two American LST's enter Shanghai to evacu ate 2,000 Americans and other foreigners, the state department reported today. The LST's, operated as com mercial craft by the American President lines, were enroute to Shanghai when the Shanghai for. eign trade bureau disclosed they would not be allowed to enter the port. The state department said the Shanghai authorities appar ently feared the vessels were war ships rather than commercial boats. , ., ,i . The state department said it is instructing its representatives in Shanghai to try to get the com. munist authorities there to recon sider. Meanwhile, the LST's will anchor outside Chinese territor ial waters. The LST's were scheduled to pick up the foreigners, includine diu Americans from Shanghai and shuttle them to the Ameri can President lines General Gor don which was planning to an. chor outside Shanghai. The Gor. don Itself could not enter the port because the main channel has been mined by Chinese national ists trying to enforce their block, ade of Communist China. The shallow-draft IST's were scheduled to enter the narrow north channel of the Yangtze riv er which the Gordon could not negotiate. State department of ficials said no shallow-draft craft besides the LST's are available to do the necessary shuttle work. i i'i V 'H ; V. '-yji . I ' ? ,'.. fa-4a,,-: :&Z:9dr.

J NEW 1950 OnUnll Hmlng Aid San Francisco, March 20 U Attorney Vincent Halllnan, de fending Harry Bridges on perjury charges, lashed out today at the FBI, the immigration depart ment, the government's witnesses and the prosecution in a final ef fort to save the labor leader from prison and possible deportation. Waving his arms and shouting to the jury and the packed court- oom, Halllnan continued his fi nal argument which he predict ed may last all week long. Bridges, chief of the CIO lone- shoremen's and warehousemen's union, is on trial for perjury as an outgrowth of his naturaliza tion hearing In 1945 when he swore he was not a communist. Two of his union liqutenants, J. K. Robertson and Henry Schmidt, are being tried on conspiracy charges. . Past Brought Out Halllnan dragged into his ar gument all of the previous legal proceedings against Bridges, in cluding two unsuccessful govern ment attempts to deport him and a 1945 supreme court decision which held Bridges was not de portable on the strength of the evidence at his second deporta tion hearing before a special na turalization examiner. "I'm going to point out to you soon, my friends,' he told the jury, "that the testimony of each government witness has been fal sified." This was reiteration of Halll nan's original defensethat the government's case was a gigantic conspiracy of segments of the American Legion, business, shin- owners, and the government to deport Bridges to Australia and that all of the government wit nesses were "liars and perjurers." The attorney quoted ex-secretary of the interior Harold Ickes as saying the federal bureau of investigation has "dangerous im munity" and that FBI chief ,1. Edgar Hoover "considers himself above the law." Ickes Quoted "This isn't a statement of Har ry Bridges or any other labor leader. This is a statement of Harold ickes, the honestest cabin et officer we ve had In a long iiiiiu, iiaiunan saut. He read a statement he assert cil was made by Hoover admit ting mat 170 telephones are be ing tapped for "internal security." Then, he sarcastically inquired of the jury, "isn't it nice of them to say they have only violated the law i in 17(fc instances?" When' Hallinan's lengthy argu ment ends, the prosecution will have a chance at rebuttal and then the jury of eight men and four women will get the case. Courtroom observers predicted a jury decision may not come until the week beginning April 3.

Coal Industry Declared Sick By Ilobert E. Lee (United Press Staff CorrcsponuVnl) Washington, March 20 U'i How sick is the coal industry? Will it lose even more markets to oil and natural gas when cus tomers feel the effects of price rises resulting from the new wage and welfare benefits won by John L. Lewis; Those are the questions being asked today by producers, by gov ernment economists and quietly by Lewis and his United Mine Workers. Some soft coal operators an nounced price increases last week to cover at least part of the 23 cents a ton they estimate the new coal contract will cost thm. Other producers and retailers are expected to follow suit soon. But they are moving cautiously. Many will try to absorb as much of the added cost as possible to keep from driving more consum ers to other fuels. Losing Ground Rapidly For coal, which powered the world's industrial revolution and until recently has been the only important source of industry's en ergy, is losing ground rapidly in the fuel market. In some parts of the country, It has priced itself out already because of rising production and transportation costs combined with the greater availability and comparatively lower price trends of oil and natural gas. The coal producers' answer to this new competition is: chop pro duction costs by holding wages in line. , . They place most of the blame for the industry's position on Lewis, because labor represents 60 per cent of their costs. But the miners' immovable leader has his own problems, gen erated by the same forces which have the operators on the spot. Labor is the human factor in the picture. Labor Demand Down In a contracting iniustry which only in war years has pro vided better than an average of 185 working days annually Lew is is trying to maintain daily wag es to compensate for reduced de mand for labor. , Next to labor, transportation is the biggest factor in coal's dollar troubles. Freight rates and high er pay for the miners have joined to double the average price of coal delivered since world war II began. Producers insist the coal indus try isn't sick. One says: it only looks that way because of the pallor Lewis and his labor monoply have cast on It. mm iwjii,MW3Kgwsjivirwi v;wwwimih.'w'h'H j iiiii .minim ' MAN HIT BY CAR, DIES Redding, Calif., March 20 UP) Funeral services were pending today for J.
