To Modernize
More Carriers
Washington, June 22 MV-The
navy Is getting a longer-reach-in,
harder-hitting air arm.
This was the explanation In
naval circles today for the car
rier modernization plans an
nounced by Secretary of De
fense Johnson yesterday with
President Truman's approval
The flight decks of existing
carriers are being "beefed up,"
the ships' elevators are being
enlarged and their catapults
elven greater capacity, to han
dle new long-range patrol bomb
ers and the big Jet fighters with
hich landing and take-off speeds
With the tempo increased all
around, the navy is even putting
in escalators to speed the air
men to their planes.
Johnson announced yesterday
that this sort of conversion has
been authorized for two more
27,000-ton carriers. Their names
were not disclosed, but they will
come from the reserve fleet.
The cost of the work was es
timated by navy experts at about
$80,000,000 for the two. John
son said the money would be
saved through cancellation of
planes to build a 65,000-ton su
percarricr. Its cost would have
been at least $189,000,000 and
perhaps considerably more.
Pickets Posted
At Two Plants
The Salem Mlllmen's union
local 1411 had put picket lines
around the Keith Brown Lum
ber Yard and the Keith Brown
Building Supplies companies and
the lumber division of the Ore
gon Pulp and Paper company to
day. Layoff notices were posted
April 25 at the Keith Brown
establishments when four local
plants of the Woodworkers Em
ployers association closed down.
The millmen's union has de
manded a wage boost of 17
cents an hour. Last week the
members unanimously rejected
an employers association offer
Of 1 Vi cents increase.
- F. D. Van Sweringcn, execu
tive secretary of the Salem build
ing trades council, said: "It will
be 17 Vi cents or no one will go
back to work now. More than
80 per cent of the Millmen's
union are employed by shops
who have accepted the 17 Vi cents
increase, and most of the re
malning 20 per cent are work
ing at other Jobs."
There is work stoppage also
at the Salem Willamette Supply
and at Reinholdt & Lewis plants,
but pickets have not yet been
posted.
Dr. Crooks Talks
Philosophy of Life
A philosophy of life that
comes of having lived long and
has been full of associations was
expressed by Dr. Harry Crooks,
of Hood River, Ore., during
Wednesday Rotary club lunch
eon. The former president of
Albany college and of Alma col
lege, Mich., entitled his phll
osophy the "Amateur Spirit.'
Speaking In humorous vein, un
derlaid with serious emphasis,
Dr. Crooks described the ami
teur as the "one who plays the
game for the sake of the game.
The speaker said he was In fa
vor of the profit system, espec
ially when the profits enriched
his own purse. "It's as old as the
hills and pride of ownership Is
something that should be con
tinued," he said. However, he
hastened to add, the fun derived
from the processes of living is
something that one cannot lose
Satisfactions acquired through
human relations cannot be taken
away, Dr. Crooks stated.

Check Artists
DA's Headache
District Attorney E. O. Stad-
ter singled out bogus check op
erators Wednesday as the big
gest single headache for his of
fice in a speech before the Salem
Exchange club.'
Stadter pointed out that of
some 232 criminal cases process
ed by his department since he
took office in January, a total
of 54 dealt with check writers.
'There seems to be a rash of
check writing here at the pres
ent time," the district attorney
claimed, adding that "it seems
to be encouraged by merchants
and businessmen who are not
too careful in looking for iden
tification."
Despite the large number of
cases, Stadter said that only a
very small proportion of the
cheCk business in Salem and
Marion county was of the bo
gus variety.
He said that larceny cases to
taled 40 during the six month
period and that non-support
charges was the third ranking
type of criminal case handled by
the district attorney's office.

Petrillo Urges
T. H. Bill and
Washington, June 22 M") Senate sponsors of a compromise la
bor bill claimed the support of the "great mass" of American
workers today following a message of encouragement from
James C. Petrillo.
Petrillo, president of the AFL
cians, praised the efforts of Sen-
ators Douglas (D., 111.), and
Aiken (R.. VU, to get "the best
kind of bill possible to get." He
told them 98 per cent of or
ganized labor would follow them.
The two senators are lighting
for a compromise proposal pro
viding for government seizure
of industries in critical strikes.
Petrillo lashed out at John
L. Lewis. He charged the coal
miners' leader with a "betrayal
of labor" for urging a "rule or
ruin" policy of no compromise
and because he called two strikes
while congress was debating the
labor bill much tp the "de
light," Petrillo said, of Senator
Taft (R., Ohio).
Taft is opposing the Douglas-
Aiken plan, in favor of a com
bined seizure-injunction propos
al.
Douglas told reporters Petril-
lo's telegram is "greatly gratify
ing," and added:

great mass of American work

first labor leader to come out
in the open and recognize the
situation as it is."
Meantime, the senate debate
was going along leisurely, which
pleased some senators, but irked
others.
