Migrant Labor
Case Studied
Migrant labor is In need of
better housing and better op
portunities for education and
might well be considered the
"untouchables" of this country,
Mrs. Ted Gordon, member of
the social action committee of
the First Congregational church,
told members of the church
Wednesday night. The commit
tee had charge of a panel dis
cussion on farm labor problems,
with Dr. George Martin, chair
man. Present housing conditions in
majority of instances are "ter
rible," In the opinion of Mrs.
Melvin Nettleton, another mem
ber of the committee, which vls-
Jted several camps to learn of

conditions. Most of the buildings
were described as worse than
those generally erected for poul
try and livestock.
Creation of a community con
cern in order to better living
conditions for the migrant la
borer and his family was held
by John Hakanson, a third mem
ber of the group, as one of the
leading solutions to the problem.
He said that a survey Is being
made by students of Willamette
university and that the results
of this would be incorporated
in the records of the committee.
Turkey Production Cut
Portland, Jan. 26 Wl Oregon
Turkey Growers won't raise so
many birds this year as last,
the U. S. department of agricul
ture reported Wednesday.
Oregon growers plan to pro
duce about 1,497,000 turkeys
this year: 35 per cent below the
wartime average, and 6 per cent
below the 1949 rate. '
Chamber of Commerce
To Start Membership Drive
A drive by the Chamber of Commerce to add new members
and to recapture those who have dropped out will be started
with a dinner session tentatively set for Tuesday night, Feb. 7.
The hope of the membership committee, headed by Russell
Pratt, is to strengthen the membership roster by at least 200
names, he told a meeting of mef
board of directors Wednesday
night.
The dinner meeting will have
a program of entertainment as
well as business and an address
by Charles Walker of Portland.
The chamber is also hoping
during this year to establish a
stronger relationship with out
lying business centers, like Hol
lywood, East state, iteizer, lour
Corners and South Commercial
street districts. Most of these
communities have their own or
ganization, and their commercial
and social value is recognized
by the Chamber of Commerce,
but an overall affiliation with
the chamber is considered de
sirable, both for the downtown
business interests and those in
the outlying areas.
Jim Beard, president of the
Salem Retail Trade bureau, told
the board of plans to form a
merchants' association with
membership dues and possibly a
paid executive secretary. The
association would be affiliated
with the chamber, as the trade
bureau is, but would be a strong
er unit with possibly 600 mem
bers, Beard said.

about progress in efforts by
Manganese Products company of
Seattle to get the Salem alumina
plant into operation again.
He said that' George K. Ham-
mill, director of General Serv
ices agency, successor to war
ets administration as own
er of the plant, may visit Salem
soon.
The Seattle concern made an
acceptable bid for the plant,
but financing hasn't yet been
completed.
Cochran said the civil aero
nautics board hearing of the
case involving uninterrupted
operation of United Air Lines
in Salem, or a possible substi
tution of West Coast Air Lines,
probably will be held in Salem
late in February or early in
March. Wednesday was the
deadline for the filing of ex
hibits in the case. Attorneys
had the assistance of W. M.
(Jack) Bartlett, director of the
state board of aeronautics, in
preparing the exhibits. Rebut
tal exhibits will be due early
in February.

Norblad said In all probability
the hearing would be in Salem
about February 27. Norblad said
he would be notified as soon as
details are completed.
Robert England, traffic man
ager for West Coast Air Lines,
spoke to the chamber. He said
he wanted a certification for
West Coast in Salem, but would
also like to have United re
main on the schedules. He urged
the board to work for both. He
said also it would be to Salem's
advantage to have Klamath Falls
on the West Coast schedule.
