Wicks of Jordan, N. Y. The children were found by the
Wickes on a desolate island in the Seneca river where they
had been abandoned by their father, Donald Frazier, three

PRIDE AND JOY OF REDS
Key Union Run by Small Group
Of Proud Commies, Writer Claims
The United Electrical Workers, a key union that could paralyze
American industry overnight, is still completely controlled by
communists. The Daily Worker proudly calls it "the main indus
trial base of our party,
It is without doubt the most
powerful instrument the Com
munist party still controls in
the U. S.
This vital union of 570,000
skilled workers, one of the big
gest as well as one of the most
important in the country, is run
by a handful of Communist party-liners,
perhaps one percent of
its membership.
. They have fought off every
challenge to their leadership,
and are theoretically in a posi
tion to call the tune on Ameri
can armaments any time they
like.
The inside of this Communist
led organization is fully exposed
for the first time by Daniel Sel-
igman in the current issue of
The American Mercury.
He reports, after months of
difficult investigation, that over
1,500 American electrical man
ufacturers have contracts with
the UE, and that any or all of
them could be be crippled at will
by a union whose leadership
have boldly refused to sign anti
Communist affidavits.
Furthermore, although the
UE has been barred form Gen
eral Electric atomic energy lab
oratories, it still has contracts
covering the manufacture of ra
dar and atomic energy equip
ment. The leaders of UE are able, de
termined men who have never
swerved from the party line. The

Safety Theme
At Annual Meet
Portland, June 27 W) The an
nual Western Safety Conference
opened here today with traffic
and safety engineers on hand to
explain the best ways to reduce
everyday hazards.
Delegates saw a practical ap
plication of safety rules yester
day as the state's top truck driv
ers put on a "roadeo."
Experienced truck drivers,
who had to pass safety tests,
wheeled their giant carriers
through tight obstacle courses
and into loading docks.
MUSHING 5000 MILES
Dog-Sled Trip to Prove
Man's Rugged Starts in Fall
Lewiston, Me. U.PJ Cecil A. Moore, 39-year-old adventurer and
construction worker, announces that he will undertake a 5,000
mile trip next fall by dog sled.
He said he will leave Fair-f-
banks, Alaska, in October with
a team of 11 sled dogs and mush
across the continent for about
four months until he reached
Lewiston. The trip will be spon
sored by the Lewiston Lions
Club.
Moore, married and the father
of a high school sophomore, said
he wanted to prove that "mod
ern man is as rugged and re
sourceful as his forbears."
"My greatest problem at pres
ent," he said, "is not the dan
ger of the trip but my attempts
to talk my wife and son out of
going along. They insist that
they want to go."
Moore, now working on the
construction of a new bridge at
Augusta, worked for two years
in Alaska as a civilian employe
of the army engineers during
the war. "I learned to love
those sled dogs," he said. "There
is nothing in the world to com
pare with the thrill of racing
over the ice and snow behind
a good team of dogs."
Winners of state titles were:
Alvin Fish, Inland Motor
Freight, straight truck; Frank
Kirkpatrick, Columbia River
Truck Co., semi-trailer; and John
R. Castner, Pierce Auto Freight
Lines, truck and full trailer. It
was Kirkpatrick's third succes
sive win.
The Oregon titlists then com
peted with the three winners
from the state of Washington,
the Oregon team winning a close
contest, 724 to 717.5.

BUILDS PRIZE BEEF HERD. In only three years a
prize herd of registered Shorthorns has replaced dairy
cows on the Roy L. Harris ranch near Prineville. (Shown
are Mr. and Mrs. Harris and a son, Douglas, with a
Shorthorn bull calf.) Building the herd of purebred
beef cattle was a slow and costly task but Harris' wife
and their seven children backed his progressive planning.
The First National Bank of Prineville aided in financing
that speeded the transition. Today Harris' Shorthorns
bring fancy prices from America's breeders new income
that is helping build Oregon.
GEORGE KYLLO REPLACES STUMPS
WITH TURKEYS. Young George Kyllo
couldn't find a job in 1933, so he obtained 105
acres of logged-off land near Molalla and
went to work on the army of stumps. His
pluck attracted Marie Koltsch. She became
Mrs. Kyllo in 1934. They tried turkey raising,
but lost money the first year. However, en
couraged by advice and financial help from
the Molalla branch of the First National, they
stuck to it. Today they market thousands of
turkeys annually and grow feed and seed
crops. Hard work and sound advice are
building a good venture for George
and Mane... as progressive busi
nesses axe helping build Oregon.

THE KAUTTOS BUILD BOATS. Elo N. Kaotto bond
unusual sturdiness into commercial fishing craft. The
Kauttos' two-year-old plant (Mrs. Kautto is bookkeeper
painter) is at Jeffers Gardens on the Lewis and Qarlr,
river near Astoria. There, with his six craftsmen, Kautto
puts into practice ideas he developed as a fisherman and
as an employee of the area's famed builders of Columbia
River gillnet type craft. Made to carry big fish loads, bis
29-foot boats fashioned of oak, Douglas fir and Port
Orford cedar withstand the Pacific's most belligeient
moods. With assistance from the First National, Kautto
helps Oregon grow by meeting fishermen's boat needs.
