Johnston Seeks
Labor Support
Washington, Feb. 21 FD Eco
! nomic Stabilizer Eric Johnston
today renewed his efforts to re
pair the wage control program
by luring labor leaders back into
It.
At the same time, Price Direc
tor Michael V. DiSalle was busy
defending the price control pro
gram against the criticism of la
bor leaders and others who are
disappointed because prices hav
en't stopped rising.
Concerning wages:
Johnston scheduled new talks
with union leaders and members
of the wage stabilization board.
The future form of the board
was at stake. So was the future
of a proposed wage formula, now
on Johnston's desk awaiting his
action. .
The formula would allow em
ployers to grant raises up to 10
percent above the level of Jan.
15, 1950. It got the voles of the
public and industry members of
the board last week but the
three labor members voted "no"
and resigned. Yesterday they is
sued their dissenting opinion.
They said the formula has the ef
fect of continuing the Jan. 25
wage freeze. The board major
ity said the formula would un
freeze the wages of the vast ma
jority of workers, enabling them
to "catch up with tne leaders.
Felton Urges
Juvenile Home
Members of the Salem Ex
chance club were urged Wed
nesdny by District Judge Joseph
B. Felton to support a citizens
committee drive to establish a
juvenile home for Marion county
as well as a court of domestic
relations.
Judge Felton outlined Oregon
laws dealing with handling of
juveniles and then pointed out
that the need for a separate de
tention center in Marion county
became evident with inspection
of plans for the new courthouse.
He explained that present
plans would locate the juvenile
section adjacent to the jail.
These things, he contended,
fail to develop the proper, basic
attitude in juveniles to lead to
rehabilitation.
James Coon, an attorney for
the Oregon state inheritance tax
division, spoke briefly before
Judge Felton addressed the
group, as a sponsor of World
Brotherhood week.

Berglund Releases
Phone Co, Report
Stressing Pacific Telephone's
consistent policy of looking to
the future in its expansion activ
ities, President Mark R. Sulli
van, stated today in the 1950
annual report that as a result
of five years of record construc
tion, the company is in better
shape than ever to meet the
communication service demands
of the national emergency
promptly and effectively.
Tile report was released here
by E. A. Berglund, telephone
company manager.
Sullivan said Pacific Tele
phone raised $567,000,000 of
new permanent capital In the

Pacific Phone
Strike Tuesday
San Francisco, Feb. 21 ff)
Pacific Telephone and Telegraph
company toll technicians in five
western states voted last night
to strike Tuesday for higher
wages.
The union is the Order of Re-
peatermen and Toll Testboard
men. Union President Al Monahan
of Seattle said approximately
1,000 union members voted, 84
per cent of whom favored strike
action.
The toll technicians install,
maintain and in some instances
operate leased wire circuits, in
cluding long distance, radio and
television, news and telephoto,
mobile radio and ship-to-shore
communication circuits, in Cali
fornia, Washington, Oregon,
Nevada and parts of Idaho.
Monahan said the union's gen
eral committee will meet with
PT&T representatives Monday in
an attempt to reach an agree
ment. The union asks increases of1
top weekly minimums from the
L$77-$83 scale to $93-$97. PT&T
has offered $2 to $5 weekly in
creases and an 18-month con
tract, Monahan said.
Elmer Berglund, Salem man
ager for the Pacific Telephone
and Telegraph company, said
Wednesday that a strike of the
unions would have "some effect"
here in the event agreement was
not reached.
He said that six local employ
ees were members of that partic
ular union, and that he would be
unable to estimate the effect a
walkout of those employees
would have.

Gen. Harry H. Vaughan, army
Presidential Secretary Josef
Mrs. e ranees veronica jony joined tne wnite House secretarial
staff last December 1. thorts-
called reporters to the White
House to discuss brunette Mrs.
Jolly's status after references to
her in the "Cholly Knickerbock
er" column of the New York
Journal-American. The column
said Monday that "a former
Australian who got her United
States citizenship in no time at
all" had set the capital "buzz
ing."
Short said Mrs. Jolly had been
secretary to a long series of
United States generals in the Pa
cific during World War II and
that she became a permanent
resident of the United States un
der special legislation passed by
congress last year despite jus
tice department disapproval. She
is now a $4,600-a-year civilian
employe of the army.
The New York column said
there was whispering at the
White House about "Harry
Vaughan's beautiful private sec
retary who was rushed into
American citizenship and is now
firmly established in the White
House.
Short's only comment on the
Knickerbocker column was:
, "Is that his real name?" Chol
ly Knickerbocker is the pen
name of Igor Cassim.
Short said the act of congress
giving Mrs. Jolly permanent res
ident status made her eligible
for federal employment. The bill
was passed despite a report from
the justice department by Act
ing Assistant Attorney General
Peter C. Brown. The report said
"The department is unable to
recommend enactment of the
measure." It said the Australian
immigration visa was filled and
"the record fails to present any
facts which would justify
special bill enabling Mrs. Jolly
to come to the United States.
Short said Mrs. Jolly has tak
en out her first naturalization
papers and will be eligible for
her second papers in October,
1953. She entered the United
States Oct. 1, 1948, with a tem
porary visa good until Jan. 1,
1949.

Laborites Win
Unsealing Try
London, Feb. 21 VP) Another
conservative attempt to unseat
the British labor government
the fifth this month was defeat
ed in the house of commons last
night by a vote of 302 to 295
The dispute was over the gov-
ernments much ridiculed peanut-growing
venture in Africa.
Conservative Leader Winston
Churchill asked the house to
throw out a government bill
writing off a loss of 36,599,000
($102,200,000) incurred by the
government in trying to raise
peanuts in Tanganyika to relieve
Britain s shortage of fats.
The government is continuing
experiments in Tanganyika in
the growing of cotton and to
bacco and the bill asked for an
additional appropriation of 6,
000,000 ($16,800,000).
Conservative Capt. Harry
Crookshank rid i c u 1 e d the
scheme. He said it was "appro
priate" that the government had
set April 7 April Fool's day
as the date for putting its new
arrangements in force.
Food Minister Maurice Webb
said the government had to ad
mit the original plan of growing
peanuts in vast quantities had
failed. But the scheme, he ad
ded, might pay its way in time
and it would be poor business
to drop it entirely with a result
ing loss of many tangible as
sets.
The Atlee government has al
ready turned back conservative
votes of censure this month on
the isssues of nationalization of
