The letter was made public as the committee heard Harry Lundeberg, representing the Seafarers' International Union (AFL) and the Seamen's Union of the Pacific (AFL), and Fred M. Howe, secretary-treasurer of the radio officers' section of the Commercial Telegraphers Union (AFL). They want the hiring hall legalized. Chlng wrote that abolishing the hiring hall would be "a most serious disturbing factor" In the maritime Industry's labor rela tions. "It would precipitate strikes and stoppages on all coasts un less some other hiring procedure acceptable to maritime workers which would give them and their unions the protections and bene fits of the union hiring hall were substituted in its stead," he said. "I know of no such proce dure." Ching said all important mari time unions, except the east and Gulf Coast longshoremen, con sider the hiring hall "essential and indispensable to their secur ity and survival as effective un ions." He said employers regard "well run" hiring halls as "es sential or significantly import ant for industrial stability." Asked about the advisability of legislation to restore the hir ing hall to the legal status It had before the Taft-Hartley act, Chlng stuck to his policy of re fusing to get into legislative controversies. , Nut Growers Talk Contract Whether or not the Salem Nut Growers association should re enter into a marketing contract with other northwest nut co operatives highlighted discus sions at a meeting of the local association at the VFW hall Tuesday morning.

New Store to Open Thursday With expanded organization and a bigger line of merchan dise the Maurer-Bogardus Furni ture company will open Thurs day in its new location In the Oregon building at State and High, the former location of Sears, Roebuck & Co. The firm is moving there from South 12th and Highway 99E where it has been in business for three years. In the new loca tion, where it will have over 20,- 000 square feet of selling space, it will occupy both the main floor and the basement, the en tire space that was used by Sears.

The store at the South 12th street junction was operated by Warren Maurer and Earl Bogardus.

The present lease at the Ore gon building Is temporary, for at least 60 days. Announcements as to a permanent location will be made later. "In the Oregon building," the firm announces, "we will have a much larger complete stock of home furnishings than we had in the previous location, and in every way our facilities for serving the public are larger and better." are no more accurate or truth ful than the remarks about me, then in my opinion he is not qualified to be governor of Ore gon. "During the war years," Hall added, "Mr. Flegel was busy en riching himself by means of fat shipbuilding contracts with the United States government. After the war he was busy spending these profits on pleasure trips to turope. I assume his long ab senco from participation in civic affairs or his tondency to speak without thinking led him to re fer to my voting record as a state senator. I have never been a slate senator." During the war Flegel was president of Willamette Iron & Steel works here. THE NEW JOLSON PICTURE 6 mm m MM) -,MBtaaasr iiiii inn "nun mnu J A coLiMwinaua Coming Sunday!

Gresham Fair To Be Probed Portland, March 21 W) A grand jury probe of the Mult nomah County Fair association's management the past two years was promised last night by Dis trict Attorney John B. McCourt. He said the decision followed an all-day check of audit reports and charges of "mismanagement" made by County Commissioner Gene Rossman against the asso ciation. "The matter will be fully ex plored and all interested parties given the opportunity to be heard," McCourt said. For several months the asso ciation and the commissioners have been feuding. The com mission cancelled the associa tion's lease on the Gresham pro perty in December. A new fair board organization was started. The association then challenged the commission's right to cancel the lease and threatened court action to settle the issue. Walter H. Evans, Jr., attorney for the association, said last night the association would co operate with the grand Jury In vestigation. He said the question of fairground ownership might be settled out of court, if the association was permitted to go ahead with plans for the 1930 program. Rossman said the probe was needed. "Public monies are In volved. If such funds have been misused or misappropriated -they snoum be restored to the coun ty." The firm of Wells & De Lap certified accountants who made the audit of the 1948-49 fairs, reported the association's board "lax in its failure to insist that ordinary safeguards 'be exercised to ensure protection of the li quid assets of the fair."

(Acme'Telephoto) Latin American Lecturer Takes Digs at Marshall Plan Bits of satire and humor, interlaced with matters of a more serious vein, gave members of the Salem, Knife and Fork club an interesting program Monday night when Carlos Fallon, native born Colombian but now a citizen of the United States, presented his lecture "Misadventures of a Latin American." Fallon took a few digs at thef Marshall plan when he said that South America gets fts dollars by working for them, adding that, in his opinion, the salva tion of the entire western world, rested on a program of work for all concerned. That South America constitu ted one of the largest cash mar kets for the heavy industries of the United States, was Fallon's assertion. In this connection, he stated that most countries of South America are on a rapidly ascending standard of living, consequently its citizens will be able to absorb many of the arti cles that residents of the United States have grown accustomed to. Fallon suggested a triangle in volving the Americas, western Europe and Great Britain in which all would work and all 'would pay their own way." He asserted that "money for free" Town Closes for Final Rites for Burroughs Tarzana, Calif., March 21 VP) Business establishments in this San Fernando valley community will' close for one hour today during the funeral of Edgar Rice Burroughs, the town's founder and creator of the fabulous fic tional character, Tarzan.
