Elfstrom Calls
For Full Chest
Mayor Robert L. Elfstrom to
day called upon the people of
Salem to rally to the Community
Chest and make up the $15,000
that the Chest campaign is still
short of requirements in its bud
get. The mayor's statement said:
"There is an emergency exist
ing in t h e Salem Community
Chest comDaic'n. Aftpp a cm. t
ful and thoroueh camnniirn i..ayia
are still $15,000 short of budget
requirements.
"The Chest agencies' budgets
were substantially reduced pre
viously, by the Chest budget
committee, in order to hold the
total down to $105,000. Further
cuts would mean curtailing the
important work of the youth -child-care
and charitable organi-
zations, or each agency conduct
ing a supplemental campaign.
"Salem is growing, and there
are more people to serve. More
and more character building or
ganizations are needed to stren
gthen, build and prepare our
youth for times like these. We
must keep these organizations
strong and efficient, and to do
this, they must be adequately fi
nanced. "The citizenry of Salem has
always been most generous. I
appeal to you now to meet this
emergency, and quickly sub.
scribe the $15,000 needed. Do
not wait for some one to call to
see you but send it at once to
the Community Chest campaign
headquarters.
"Our Salem Community Chest
must be perpetuated."

Found Guilty

These further findings pre
cedent-making as far as news
papers are concerned were
made by the board:
1. ITU and its top officers
were required to stop coercing
employers in the choosing of
ineir foremen for collective bar
gaining purposes or grievance
handling.
2. The board ruled in ITU's
favor that the so-called "fea
ther-bedding" ban in the Taft-
Hartley law docs not apply to
certain practices in newspaper
printing. It dismissed the pub
lishers' complaint against these
practices.
3. In the Chicago case, the
International union as well as
the Chicago local No. 16, were
ordered to bargain in good faith
if the publishers request it and
if an agreement results, to make
a contract of reasonable dura
tion."
Union sources said this ruling
carried a "danger for all un
ions," If Internationals as well
as locals are responsible for
local bargaining, they suggested,
international officers might be
held liable to suit for the mis
conduct of locals.
The board split 3 to 2 on this
question.
Unionists claimed a "maior
victory" on another point the
dismissal of charges that the un
ion had coerced employes In the
pxerclse of Taft-Hartley rights.
This was Interpreted by union
officials to mean that Taft-Hart-
loy cannot be used to overthrow

have contained words of racial discrimination was being mada
Saturday by Assistant Chief E. C. Charlton.
The search centered on finding a man named Sparks, believed
to live in the Rosedale district .
south of Salem. He was identi-i
ficd as a possible witness by
John Todd, an Alderman farm
field boss, who testified at a
hearing held in Salem Friday
after his employer had leveled
the racial accusation charge at
a city patrolman.
The hearing itself produced
a stalemate. Jackson Ward, the
Negro claimed a patrolman told
him that after he had received
his pay from the farm to "make
damn sure you get out . . . you
catch the first bus out of town."
The officer. Patrolman Arch
A. Wilson, testified that it was
"not true" that he had stated
that Negroes were not wanted
in Salem and to get out of town.
Ward and Wilson both testi
fied there was no one within
earshot.
Both statements came at a
hearing at which unsworn tes
timony was heard from Ward,
a Negro companion, John T.
Washington, also of Portland,
Todd, William Maxwell, busi
ness manager for the farms, and
the officer.
Following the hearing, Max
well, upon whose advice U. S.
Alderman, owner of the farm
and packing operation near Day
ton, filed the accusation, said he
was satisfied as a result of the
hearing that there was "a mis
understanding through misstate
ment.
Charlton emphasized during
the hearing that discrimination
did not represent the policy of
the department.
After the hearing was com
pleted, Ward, who was born in
Texas and came to Portland in
1946, said that he "felt pretty
bad" on Saturday, the day the
affair took place.
"I'd picked more than 220
sacks of potatoes that day," the
elderly Negro explained," and I
musta looked it."
This statement was under
stood to mean that he had ac
cepted the officer's version to
the extent that he was being
treated as any vagrant or tran
sient could expect to be treated
when police were under orders
to "clean up skid row."
But Ward remained firm In
his belief that the officer had
told him Negroes were not want
ed in Salem and to get out.

Murray Ready
(Continued from Page 11
In addition to these three un
ions, which probably have been
most critical of the leadership of
CIO President Murray, eight or
mine others are reported lined
up in the left-wing.
The Farm Equipment Workers
union yesterday announced at
Chicago it had voted 84 percent
in favor of merging its members
with the United Electrical Work
ers, the CIO's third largest af
filiate. The FE claims 55,000
members 40,000 of them in In
ternational Harvester company
plants.
Because the FE flaunted a di
rective from the national CIO a
year ago to Join the right wing
United Auto Workers, it had
reason to expect being discip
lined at next week's convention.
The FE forfeited its right to a
delegation in the convention by
becoming 11 months in arrears in
its per capita tax to the national
organization.
Ching Breaks
'Continued from Pntte 1)
Ching broke off his meetings
with U. S. steel officials after
talking with CIO President Phil
ip Murray by telephone "in con
fidence." He showed neither pes
simism nor optimism unci said
his efforts toward a settlement
would continue. He expected to
talk with officials of Youngs
town Steel and Tube, Republic
Steel and Jones and Laughlin
in Washington tomorrow and
Monday.
The plight of strikers and
those laid off because of the
walkouts was not alleviated by
a bureau of labor statistics re
port which said that the cost of
living took its biggest monthly
Jump In a year between mid-
August and mid-SepU'mber. The
price index rose one-half of one
per cent in that interval.
