Meal Prices in
Lumber Camps
Washington, May 28 OP)
Weyerhaeuser Timber company's
refusal to bargain on the price of
meals served its workers at its
Klamath Falls branch is an un
fair labor practice, a trial exam
iner held today.
J. J. Fitzpatrick. trial exami
ner for the national labor rela
tions board found that the sub
ject of charges for meals, under
the circumstances, came under
the labor management relations
act requiting bargaining by
employers and employes on mat-:
ters "which mutually affect their'
interests."
His recommendation may be
appealed to the board.
The International Woodwork- j
era of America (CIO) filed the!
charge of refusal to bargain af
ter the price of meals served at
the firm's camps and mill in the
Klamath Falls area had been.
raised from 55 to 65 cents in
1946. Increases were made again
in 1947 and 1948, with the pres
ent price 85 cents.
Fitzpatrick's report said the
contract between the company
and the union made no mention
of the cost of room and board,
and the company held that the
matter was suitable for discus
sion but not for bargaining.

British Aviatrix
Resumes Flight
Chicago, May 28 Pi Mrs. Ri
chard Morrow-Tait, 25, of Cam
bridge, England, took off for
Buffalo, New York, today on an
other lap of her round-the-world
flight.
She landed in Chicago May
24, without gasoline or money.
An appearance on a radio pro
gram resulted in offers of a tank
ful of gas and a hotel room. Then
the civil aeronautics administra
tion grounded her converted BT
13 trainer, saying it was improp
erly registered and that its extra
fuel tank was unsafe.
CAA spokesmen were unavail
able for comment today, but
Mrs. Morrow-Tait said yesterday
she expected friends in Seattle
who donated the ship to re-register
the plane, certifying them
selves as owners.
Presumably, she obtained CAA
permission to take off today.
Airport spokesmen said she left
this morning but was not re
quired to file a flight plan be
cause she and her navigator,
Jack Ellis of London, were tra
veling under "visual flying
rules."
Mrs. Morrow-Tait. red-haired
housewife and mother began
her round-th-world Junket in
England last August. At that
time, she expected to be gone six
weeks but tough luck, including
a crash landing which damaged
her original plane in Alaska, has
delayed completion of the trip.

Congress Plans
Adjournment
Washington, May 28 ixi
Democratic leaders were rcport-
-d today to be aiming for ante
August 15 adjournment of
gress even if several of Presi
dent Truman's measures are left
untouched.
An Influentual democrat who
asked not to be quoted by name,
told a reporter the president's
assertion congress ought to slay
in session until it passes mostTu1,'dav'
of his program doesn't mean
that's going to happen.
Despite Mr. Truman's state
ment that every one of a score
or more of his proposals deserves
priority rating, there were signs
that he may have to be satis
fied with final action on a half
dozen.
And Senator Taft (R-Ohio)
predicted that one of these
proposed repeal of the Taft
Hartley act may reach the
president in such form that he
will be tempted to veto it
Besides action on the labor
measure, congressional leaders
are pushing for a house vote on
senate-passed long-range hous
ing and school aid bills.
Because of the illness of Sen
ator George (D-Ga ), the senate
probably will delay action on
the house-approved trade meas
ure until it disposes of the labor
bill. The North Atlantic Secur
ity treaty also remains to be
acted upon.
Neither house yet has taken a
crack at the president's propos
al to boost the minimum wage
level, but leaders say they want
action on it.
Robot Machines
May Be Bosses
Los Angeles, May 28 W
Robots with chemical brains and
glands may help man in the
near future, but will they help
him solve his biggest problem?
Prof. Norbert Wiener of Mas
sachusetts Institute of Technolo
gy, while predicting the likeli
hood of such robot slaves, last
night told interviewers;
"Machines may some day be
come our masters."
Mechanical brains may some
day do all our routine chores,
asserted Dr. Wiener, mathemati
cian and researcher in the field
of electronic calculation. But he
doubts that they will be able to
solve what he considers the ma
jor human problem: The failure
to think about
'know-what" as
well as "know-how.
Said Dr. Wiener:
"Power is worshipped without
any inkling of where power is
leading. If we don t develop re
sponsibility in science and other
fields we are in for trouble. We
have got to develop our char
acters or get off the earlh.
"The human and mechanical
brains can give us logic and
mathematics. But men need
more than that."

third mysterious fire within 10
weeks ravaged the All-Bright

nia company plant here today.

equipment fought for two hours
to cintrol the flames, first sight
ed by a passing patrolman in

Berlin Strike
(Continued from Page tl
Today, however. Brig. Gen.
Frank S. Howley, U.S. comman
der in the American sector of
Berlin, charged that "it's quite
clear the communists wanted this
situation to develop. They engi
neered it that way." He asserted
they hoped It would help Rus
sian negotiators in the Big Four
meetings at Paris which seek to
settle the entire German prob
lem. The Russians have contended
that the western powers are
backing the strikers, with the
same idea.
The Russians came up with a
new angle last night, warning
the western allies to narrow one
of their airlift corridors to Ber
lin because Soviet gunners would
start air-to-ground target prac
tice today in that area.
American and British authori
ties said they would not change
the corridors, because it would
hamper the lift which the strike
has made the chief supply line
to this bclt-agured cily.
