1 For Director
Closing date for tiling appli
cations with the state civil serv-
Ice commission for the position
of director of the Oregon state
employment service has been
advanced to April 19, said T.
Morris Dunne, chairman of the
UCC, as he said "we hope to ob
tain a man with high qualities
of leadership for the job." He
added that the commission was
concerned about the small num
ber of applications received.
"Director of our 28 local em
ployment offices, including the
large metropolitan office
Portland, is one of the biggest
jobs in the state," said Dunne.
"It requires a man with a thor
ough knowledge of the economy
of the state and a sound back
ground of labor-management re
lations." The position was vacated by
L. C. Stoll last February and at
the present time is temporarily
filled by Silas Gaiser who is
working in the joint capacity of
administrator for the UCC and
director of employment service.
The beginning salary for the
post is $400 a month. The di
rector will be located in Salem
and will have a staff of over 300
during the peak employment
periods.

To the Editor:
In a recent editorial you men
tioned present high prices and
tossed the blame in the lap of
government and labor (as was to
be expected!). You slated, "The
government is responsible for
large inflation in money and
credit. It is responsible for the
18 i c nts and hour basic in
crease in industrial wages, which
forced price increases."
In the latter connection, it is
interesting to note that a study
of 15 industries between Janu
ary, 1945, and September, 1946,
showed that price increases av
eraged 17.9 percent while in
creases required to offset price
rises would have been only 2.5
percent. In other words, price
increases were more than seven
times as much as the rise re
quired to cover wage increases
in this 21-month period!
Regarding large inflation in
money and credit, it is likewise
interesting to note that govern
ment studies indicate the top 10
percent of families in 1945 had
60 percent of personal liquid
savings, while the bottom ou
percent of families had only
three percent. By now that three
percent has probably dwindled
to nothing.
Again, you censure the gov
ernment for the raise in price
of livestock products. Statistics
indicate that a prominent meat
packing concern during the fis
cal year ending November 2,
1946, made int profits after
taxes that showed an increase of
229 percent over profits of the
preceding year.
"Present high prices are the
fault of the government and la
bor, while industry is only par
tially at fault "

Railroad Diner
Burns at Albany
Albany, April 14 OP) A burn
ing diner of a Southern Pacific
passenger train from which
diners escaped without injury
was cut out of the train here
Saturday night while city fire
men fought the blaze.
A railroad spokesman said
the northbound Klamath, run
between Oakland and Portland,
was delayed here half an hour
by the fire. The fire apparently
started from a defective electric
circuit, the official said.
Apple Thinning
By Spraying
Spokane, April 14 iP Thin
ning apples by spraying instead
of picking is a new idea which
promises to save labor and im
prove production in northwest
orchards.
John C. Snyder, extension
horticulturist at Washington
State college, says the chemical
removal of excess fruit in the
blossom stage has been proved
sound for self-pollinating vari
eties if several fundamental
cautions are observed.
Research men and a few
growers pioneering the techni
que have found the spray suc
cessful for Golden Delicious,
Jonathon, Rome Beauty, Yellow
Transparent and Mcintosh ap
ples. These are ' -cMruitful
varieties capable of pollinating
themselves. The thinning spray
is not recommended for var
ieties not self-pollinating or af
fected by mildew.
The new idea is as simple as
it is effective. The chemical
spray is applied while trees are
in full bloom. The spray kills
the younger blossoms and leaves
the older ones uninjured. The
undamaged blossoms develop
into apples. The excess blos
soms never become apples and,
hence, don't have to be thinned.
The sodium salt of dinitro
cresol, known as elgetol. has
proved most effective of the
blossom sprays tried, Snyder
says.
