fct that hiring halls were out-
lawed by the Taft-Hartley act.
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. ,

Establishment of an Interna

Tokyo, Japan received the en
dorsement of the Salem Minis
terial association Tuesday fore
noon following the presentation
of plans by Dr. Ernest J. Jaqua,
former president of Scripps col
lege. 'We must build up a bulwark
of friendly relations in the Far
East," stated Dr. Jaqua as ho
presented the outline for the
university. "That means a
friendly Japan, joined to us by
ties of common acceptance of
the democratic way of life, root
ed in Christian principles."
Dr. Jaqua said the Japanese
have raised $500,000 toward
the construction of the univer
sity. The United States will be
asked to contribute $10,000,000.
The faculty will be partly Jap
anese and partly educators from
this country.
Plans lor Holy week, Good
Friday and Easter sunrise serv
ices were discussed and virtual
ly completed. The YWCA and
YMCA are jointly sponsoring a
series of Holy week noon-time
services at Saint Paul's Episcopal

ministers will be Rev. Dudley
Strain, Rev. Brooks Moore, Rev.

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.
Added to the firm is George
Maurer, former manager of the
Gevurtz store, and with a back
ground of 35 years in the furni
ture business. The store at the
South 12th street junction was
operated by Warren Maurer and
Earl Bogardus. In adding George
Maurer to the firm Bogardus said
that "We feel the addition of his
knowledge and experience will
be a decided assetto the business
and to the, people who buy fur
niture." 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.

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."

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"
