(Story on page 1) Farmers Union Leaders Meet Main speaker at a leaders' meeting of the Oregon Farmers Union that started here today is Stanley (Bud) Vogt of Denver, assistant director of education for the National Farmers Union. Monday morning. Vogt spoke on the broad objectives of the organization, stressing comment on family type of farming which he said was in danger. Eighteen per cent of the people, namely the farmers, he said, get only 10 per cent of the national income, He traced farm legislation since 1862 when the first farm act was passed, and said the family type of farming is in greater Jeopardy than ever before in spite of all efforts to save it. A million farm families have been lost, he said, since 1935. Howard Morgan spoke on the CVA and criticised Senator Wayne Morse, who, he said, was full of praise for the TVA for 10 years, but came out against the CVA. At the afternoon session panel discussion was held on the Holy report on Oregon schools and another on the matter of adding to the effectiveness of the Farmers Union. At the Tuesday meeting Vogt will be heard again, also Arnold Alpcrstcin. of Puyallup, Wash., field man for the National Farm ers union, and Al Lamb, area manager, also from Puyallup. He was formerly with the Blue Lake cannery in Salem. Wallace Advises Peace by Defense New York. Nov. 13 UP) Henry A. Wallace said last night that he no longer believes peace can be obtained by meeting Russia "half-way." The former vice-president and progressive party leader said the United States must build Its armed strength as quickly as pos sible until Russia and communist China give "concrete evidence" that they arc Interested In peace. Addressing a forum of the community chucrh, he said: "When Russia permitted the North Koreans to attack, and when Chinese troops entered North Korea and Tibet, it be came clear to me that Russia is eager to use other people to heat up the cold war." Canadian Woman Raised to Sainthood Vatican City. Nov. 13 W In the final beatification ceremony of the holy year. Pope Plus XII yesterday raised Mother Mar guerite Bourgeois to the blessed of the Roman Catholic church. Born in France in 1620, she founded the Order of the Sisters of Our Lady In the Canadian wilderness 300 years ago. More than 1,200 Canadian pil grims and 40 archbishops and bishops were among the thou sands of spectators at the cere mony In the basilica of St, Peter. Ore., Monday, Nov. 13, 1950 pressed this view at the start of hearing on the application of the two air lines for CAB ipproval of the consolidation. Southwest and West Coast Alr ines operated feeder routes in the three states. The application is opposed by United Airlines and Western Airlines. D. P. Renda of Los Angeles, attorney for Western, and John '. Lorch, attorney for United, described the hearing as "pre mature." They asked that a decision be held ud pending rulings in two other cases involving renewal of operating permits on routes of Southwest and West Coast. Hearing examiner Edward T. Stodola said he will ask the board to rule on the objections Renda questioned Connally about an agreement to give Nick Eez of Seattle, president of West Coast Airlines, an option to buy $50,000 worth of stock in South west Airways at $1.50 a share in exchange for Bez' becoming a director of the company. Connally said the option price exceeds the book value of the company's stock. He said he wanted Bez in the comuany be cause of his wide experience in the Northwest. Asked if he would oppose the merger if the CAB fails to ap prove the stock option as part of the agreement, Connally said he would stand back of his deal with Bez and urge his board of directors to support his posl tion. Connally predicted that the merger would speed up South west's trend toward self-suffi ciency Under normal conditions, he said, the company would no longer have to rely on govern ment mail pay within five years.

Toll Explains Victory of GOP Washington, Nov. 13 W Senator Taft (R., Ohio) said to day that lack of public confi dence in President Truman s foreign policy helped republi cans In last Tuesday's congres sional elections. Taft told more than 125 re porters at a news conference that the major problems of the next congress will be to decide how big a military program is needed for the country, "where we will get the money and how we shall prevent inflation. Calling for a congressional re view of proposed military aid to western Europe, the Ohio sena tor said he believes such aid must be given but wants con gress to assess the situation be fore it acts. The senator, who classes him self as available but not a can didate for the 1952 republican presidential nomination, return ed from his own victory at the polls amid signs that some GOP reorganization may be In order. He is expected to confer with party leaders during a brief stay in the capital. Taft took occasion to criticize those he said accused him of holding Isolationist views. Isolationist is simply , a name," he said. "Anybody is an idiot who calls anybody else an isolationist. We can't be isola tionist under present conditions. Taft said that in his successful campaign for reelection In Ohio he had charged that the admin istration's foreign policies "by errors, to say the least, had built up Chinese communists and brought about the Korean war. He added there had been no democratic answer to this in the Ohio campaign. Taft said he read into the elec tion results of last Tuesday re pudiation of President Truman's "Fair Deal program." The Ohioan mentioned specif ically in this category what he called "socialized free medicine' and the Brafinan farm subsidy plan. Williams Back in Lead in Michigan Detroit, Nov. 13 (U.B Gov. G.

The American Telephone & Telegraph Co., said that the charge of "lockout is absurd." In Pittsburgh, mounted police dispersed a crowd of pickets who surrounded a small Bell truck halted in traffic.

The company, in a typewritten statement, said "we are glad to have our employes back if they sinceiely wish to help us do the job. 'Close and precise scheduling of our people Is needed in order to meet hour-to-hour service re quirements. Before disrupting the team that has done such splendid job of giving service to the public during the past! several aays, we merely wisn to know that the returning people are prepared to meet this need."

PROOF A Pback in If I'lIIiMAfiE I BRAND I !CKY STBAlCj'f I I RBONWHISK I Mrs. Elfslrom Talks on Ethiopia A capacity audience of Cham ber of Commerce luncheon guests were transported to the mldle of Ethiopia Monday noon by Mrs. Robert L. Elfstrom, who visited that little known portion of the "dark continent" last winter. Mrs. Elfstrom's word picture of the squalor, the filth and to an American, almost unbelievable conditions, was a vivid one and her discourse held her audience In close attention throughout. A visit to her sister was the reason for Mrs. Elfstrom s air flight to Ethiopia. Life in that country is crude and the natives have little knowledge of the bal ance of the world, said the speaker. There are no water sys tems, no sewage disposal plants and no "Chic Sales." The latter fact doesn't inhibit the natives and the visitor soon becomes accustomed to the strange occur rences. To the foreigners who are living in Ethiopia the visit of an outsider is a high light in their lives. They are cut off almost entirely from the outside world, since there are no newspapers, little or no radio communica tion and the magazines are old when received. Mrs. Elfstrom reported the natives as being "fanatically religious"; the flies as the most bothersome pests in the country and commented that the "dogs sleep all day in order that they may bark all night." Urges Prosecution Of Newsprint Trust Washington, Nov. 13 W) Rep. Celler (D., N.Y.) urged the jus tice department yesterday to start court action "to restore competition in the newsprint in' dustry."

Lewis B. Hershey, the na tion's selective service director, says America's manpower must serve both the economy and the armed forces. He said the draft may have to be extended to 18-year-olds and to men older than 25. Hershey spoke on a North western University radio panel broadcast yesterday by the Mu tual Broadcasting system. Although there are an esti mated 8,000,000 men in the 19 26 age group, Hershey said, some 1,000,000 have dependents, another 3,000,000 are veterans and a large proportion of those remaining do not meet physical or mentsl requirements. In the older group there are many men who would be of greater value in the economy than in the military forces, he said.
