Unemployment Reserves
Decline $3 Million
Oregon's unemployment reserve fund declined more than $3
millions in January, according
unemployment compensation commission.
The $77,887,237 remaining ior benefit purposes, however, was
higher than at any time during
more than in June, 1946
In the past 12 months it has
dropped by $6,716,844 and com
mission officials expect the de
cline to be even more rapid dur
ing the remainder of 1950. With
employers' taxes expected to be
from $3 to $4 millions less than
last year and with unemploy
ment payments on the increase,
commission officials estimated
the net loss to run to $10 or
$15 millions by the end of the
year.
Payments during January
reached $4,274,067 and the con
stantly rising claims load made
it almost certain that still high
er totals would be recorded in
February and possibly March.

vNLRB Refuses Jurisdiction
In Valley Concrete Dispute
Employes of the Valley Concrete company at Independence
. cannot be forced into an election, the national labor relations
board held Thursday in refusing
the first of three Involving several of the same issues
Action was instigated by Teamsters local No. 324 of Salem
which fought the employer de-:
mand for the election with the
general counsel of NLRB taking
the position in the unfair labor
practices case and in the injunc
tion suit that the action of the
labor council in placing the Val
ley company and others on its
unfair list was a secondary boy
cott and a violation oi the Taft
Hartley act. ,
The board held in general
that "the interstate commerce
business of the firm was so small
it would not effectuate the poli
cies of the act for it to assume
jurisdiction in the dispute."
Involving many of the same is
sues and also the right of a cen
tral labor council to place a firm
on an unfair list are unfair labor
charges which are scheduled to
be an NLRB examiner February
28 and in injunction action
brought by the NLRB In the fed
eral court against the Salem La
bor council and its affiliated un
ions. The Injunction suit is
scheduled to be called in federal
court in Portland Monday morn
ing. Pat Blair, manager of the asso
ciation, said the company would
recognize the teamsters as bar
gaining agent but would not re
quire its employes to join the
union unless they voted to do so.
He said the company had moved
for an election when the team
sters failed to ask for one.
Teamsters put pickets on the
Valley company and the Salem
labor council put it on the un
fair list several months ago when
the company refused to sign
Contractors who bought supplies
from the company for use on
public projects also were in
volved in the suit. The work In
cluded the Independence-Mon
mouth bridge and a Dallas
school.
Hearing In the election case
on which the board's decision
was based, was held in Salem
and Portland before Robert E
Tillman, Seattle, headings offi
cer. It was marked by charges
by James Landye, attorney for
the teamsters, who charged that
Robert N. Denham, general
counsel of the board, should be
the subject of congressional In
vestigation and that labor cas
es wert being delayed by Den
ham while employer cases

Treasury Beats Timetable
In Writing G. I. Dividends
Washington, Feb. 10 (U.R) The U. S. treasury is beating its own
timetable writing checks to veterans for GI life Insurance divi
dends. The check-writers ended business yesterday by signing the
4,082,991st check against the national service life insurance
S2.800.000.000 dividend fund.
The total paid out so far Is
$725,208,516.29,
When the first of nearly 16,
000,000 dividend checks started
going out January 16, Veterans
Administrator Carl R. Gray, Jr.,
said the program should be com
pleted by June 30. But lt now
looks as if the whole job will be
cleaned up by late April two
months ahead of schedule.
At the outset, the treasury
hoped to write checks at the rate
of 200,000 a day. Even that fig
ure seemed optimistic. But the
mass production operation is
turning them out at a rate of
225,000 to 250,000 a day. Yes
terday, for example, 243,337
checks were written and mailed
out.
' The veterans administration's
carefully-worked out order of
check writing depends on the
list three digits in the ex-serviceman's
serial number.
Right now the treasury is
working on the "300's" and
"400's" (serial numbers ending
in such figures as 365, 381, 423
or 430).
But VA says GI's shouldn't
be alarmed if they think they
already should have received
their check but haven't. There
have been some hitches. For in
stance, when an error appears
to a report issued by the state

in February reached a new peak
of 71,818, as compared with
45,875 for the last week in De
cember.
Every section of the state con
tribuled to the rising claims
load, the report sain, but in
creases were greatest in the
western Oregon timber section.
Eugene paid out $389,578 to un
empioyed in January, more than
double the amount paid out by
this office in January, 1949.
While several other offices
went up by 50 to 90 percent.

i'rom Salem and Portland of
fices, although the report said
that weekly claims in these
areas were assuming record
proportions.
to take a hand in the case.
The decision of the board, in
oriel, was that "the union as
serts that the operations of the
employer do not affect com
merce within the meaning of
the act. Although we do not find
that the employer's operations
are wholly unrelated to com
merce, we believe that they are
essentially local in character
and that the assertion of juris
diction in this case would not
effectuate the policies of the
(Taft-Hartley) act."
Attractive Poster
At Recruiting Office
Several top-flight illustrators
have been donating their serv
ices and painting a series of pos
ters for the army and air forces
and one of those has arrived in
Salem and been distributed by
the recruiting office.
Entitled the "Envoy of Peace'
the poster received here is paint
ed in oil by Martha Sawyers.
The poster shows a young cor
poral of the occupation forces
surrounded by three Japanese
children, the youngest seated on
his knee.
Two of the children are dress
ed in exotically colored native
costumes and the other is wear
ing a modified form of western
dress.
Among the other illustrators,
who have volunteered their serv
ices for painting posters are, Al
bert Dora, Jack wittup, Gail
Phillips, Coby Whitmore and
Stevan Donanos.
Defendant Rules
For the Judge
St. Louis, Feb. 10 (U.B At
torney Thomas Pascal appear
ed as a defendant in city court
and denied a policeman's tes
timony that he drove through
a red traffic light.
"You present a problem,"
City Judge James H. Connor
toid Pascal. "I have either to
believe yon or the officer
here. What would you do If
yon were Judge?"
"I'd discharge the defen
dant," Pascal replied.
"Ton win," the judge smil
ed. "Defendant discharged."
on the voucher forms, they have
to be rechecked and that means
a delay in the dividend check.
The agency now expects 11,
000,000 checks will go out in
what it calls the "first pay
cycle." That means going
through the entire file of poten
tial payees once. The first go
around probably will be com
pleted at the last of March.
Without a break in check-
writing, the VA then will start
sending to the treasury vouch
ers for the so-called "irregulars."
Those are the policyholders
whose records were not fully in
shape when the check-writing
began. They include late appli
cants and cases where the gove
ernment had to write the vet
eran for more Information. It
should take about a month to
clean up this batch.

Higher Friday
Chicago, Feb. 10 OT A buy
ing movement in corn spread to
other grains before the close on
the board of trade today.
All cereals moved ahead of
their previous close, but only
corn was able to make worth
while gains.
Wheat sagged under selling
pressure in early dealings, the
March contract failing more
han a cent at one time. A low
ered government estimate of ex
ports this year created the easier
tone. .
Wheat closed lower to
higher, March $2.1714-, corn
was higher, March
$1.28y4-?4, oats were Vt lower
to y higher, May 68-, rye
was 1 to 1 higher, May $1.30
$1.30 V, soybeans were lower
to H higher, March $2.31 i-3A,
and lard was unchanged to 5
cents a hundred pounds lower,
March $10.52.
Stocks Declihe
After Early Rise
New York, Feb. 10 OT Pro
nounced weakness in steel
stocks high-lighted a relapse in
the market today.
An opening rush of demand
lifted prices fractions to a point
or so, with much of the buying
focussed on the radio-televis
ion group. In ten minutes or so
buyers were satisfied.
Early in the afternoon sell
ing became a bit more persis
tent and many of the market's
usual leaders fell back for loss
es running to a point or so. Mo
tors and rails slipped with steels.
Turnover for the day hit a
rate of about 1,800,000 shares
for the full session.
Some of the highly popular
radio-television stocks dropped
back with the rest although on
the whole this group held up
fairly well. Still up around a
point were Philco, Zenith and
Magnavox.
Milk Producers
Win Price Boost
Roseburg, Feb. 10 W) Milk
producers won a price increase
from the Umpqua dairy here
yesterday, plus a premise that
the public would not have to
pay for the increase.
The agreement, which also
granted union recognition for
the AFL teamsters, ended a dis
pute in which teamsters had
boycotted the dairy.
The milk producers, who had
affiliated recently with the AFL
labor council here, won a price
increase of 23 cents per hun
dredweight of milk. That guar
anteed them $5.96 per hundre
weight. A provision stipulated that
the Increase would not be passed
along to the public. This point
was at issue in December, when
milk producers protested that
distributors had raised the price
to the public without compen
sating producers.
The teamsters quit hauling
milk to the dairy this week, sup
porting their demand to union
ice the plant. They said yester
day's agreement covers wages,
hours and working conditions,
similar to that in effect at Grants
Pass and Medford.
At the halfway mark, the An
deraon, Ind., Parkers had scor
ed more points per game than
any other team In the National
Basketball association. -

THE
By
This Is the Intense, emotional story about
a hundred-odd men, women and children
who left prosperous farms and businesses
to roll west in big, high-wheeled wagons.
They shared a dream of richer lands and
a better life, three thousand miles away,
across prairie, mountain and desert. The
result is a book which Clifton Fadiman
calls "The finest novel on the subject in
existence".
