House Bill 663 and most mem
bers agree that the governor's
bill will come up for discussion.
While the governor declined
to discuss the controversy he
intimated that It had been a
rough evening he did trace
the history of the labor bill that
he submitted to the senate com
mittee. The first discussion of an
other labor bill came up while
the highly controversial House
Bill 298 was still under con
sideration, or just about the
time that this bill was ditched,
the governor said. .
At that time, he explained,
be requested the commissioner
of labor to study the situation
and come up with any sugges
tions that he felt would solve
the problem In the best Inter
ests of all concerned.
His action, he said, were
communicated to both house
leaders and some other legisla
tors. When the suggestions
came back to his desk from the
labor commissioner, the gover
nor said he' added a 15-day
waiting period before any labor
strike or picketing could begin.
The rough draft of the bill
then was sent to the statute re
vision council where the bill
was drafted and was returned
to the governor last Saturday.
He said that "a legislator" ask
ed to examine the new bill and
it was several days before the
bill was recovered. It was then
that the governor forwarded
the bill with a letter to Sena
tor Phil Brady, chairman of the
senate labor and Industries
committee.
Chairman Brady Wednesday
declared that he favored con
ciliation, which is the keynote
of the biU submitted by the
governor.
Senator Phil Hitchcock, a
member of the committee, said
he is opposed to organizational
picketing but that he believes
something like the governor's
bill is necessary before a law
like H.B. 663 will operate.
"The governor's bill" he said,
"looks like a good approach, I
favor strengthening the concili
ation service."
Most of the remaining mem
bers of the committee said that
they had not yet read the new
bill or had not formed an opin
ion on it.
Reds Agree
(Continued from Page 1)
If an agreement is signed
Friday, exchange of sick and
wounded prisoners could start
within 10 days. The Reds
reiterated earler Thursday that
they will return no more than
600 Allied prisoners includ
ing probably not more than
125 Americans.
The communist staff offi
cers delievered replies to the
questions asked earlier by the
chief U.N. delegate. The agree
ment covers the size and opera
tion of convoys and sets the
termination date for the ex
change at 20 days after the
agreement becomes effective.

(Continued from Page 1)
Rep. Dave Baum of La-
Grande recommended an Inter
im committee be appointed to
study consolidation of four ma
jor state museums in Portland,
with the possibility of erecting
a building in Salem for hous
ing the museums.
"There is not time remaining
In the session." he said, "to
complete investigation of the
feasibility of the proposed con
solidation." He added that con
solidation seems advisable, but
location, public opinion and
costs are factors that enter into
the consideration of the subject
The consolidation would in
volve the Battleship Oregon,
the Old Oregon Trails associa
tion, the Oregon Historical So
ciety, and the Science and in
dus tries museum.
Other appropriations voted
by the committee included $12,
856,900 for the board of nurs
ing; $1,588,955 for the public
employes retirement system;
$823,804 for the tax commis
sion's assessment and taxation
division and $1,401,092 for the
division of vocational educa
tion. Senator Ellis took a gamble
on a pet appropriation of his
and won.
The gamble was taken when
the appropriation for the Upper
Columbia river commission
was under way. '
Four proposals were before
the committee to appropri-
won in the local contest, Wed
nesday night won in the district
semi-finals in West Linn.
Semi-finals were necessary
this year because the area in
which Salem's club is located
now has 18 Toastmaster clubs.
ate $10,000, to amend that to
$18,000, a third for a $22,000
appropriation and $34,000
which Ellis requested.
' After considerable argument,
the Eastern Oregon senator de
clared, "You either give us the
$34,000 we need or we don't
want a dime. It's that simple,
no other way, the whole thing
or nothing."
He got the "whole thing" by
a 7 to S vote.
Poland Opens
(Continued from Page 1)
The Polish resolution also
contained a section on settling
the Korean War and here Skr
zeszewski made what appeared
to be a major change. Instead
of calling for the unconditional
return of all prisoners of war,
he urged the U. N. to appeal
to all belligerents in Korea to
"do their best to get agreement
on the problem of sick and
wounded prisoners of war and
the overall question of prison
ers of war."
The formal Polish resolution
stamped definite communist
authority on the hints Red ra
dios have been dropping that
the Communist Chinese and
North Koreans are will to f 1
low up the exchange of sick
and wounded by a settlement
of the whole issue. It is the
only problem holding up a Ko
rean armistice. '

Holiday Tree
Business Good
Over half of Oregon's fam
ilies would like to go into the
woods and cut their own Christ
mas trees, and have been doing
it during recent years, accord
ing to the Christmas tree com
mittee for the Pacific North
west which recently met for a
two day session at Portland.
Charles Ladd, senior farm
forester for the State Forestry
Department, said that the de
sire of people to cut their own
trees has opened up a lucra
tive new market for Christmas
tree growers.
These growers, according to
the forester, can encourage
prospective tree buyers to visit
their Christmas tree planta
tions and make their selection
from any of the trees growing
on their project. Most of the
lands having young trees grow
ing on them have been incor
porated into commercial "tree
farms" for lumber production
and public forests. Trees are
only removed from these sus
tained yield areas under fores
try supervision and eliminate
the use of the lands by the av
erage citizen.
' The committee reported pro
gress in Christmas treet mar
keting, and agreed corrections
must be made to eliminate
dumping of poor type trees on
dealers. Scrawny, misshapen
trees cannot be sold and must
be junked. Last year, over
eight percent of the trees har
vested were left unused on
corner lots.
The survey made by the
committee showed that in Ore
gon and Washington, 66 percent

. Pace also contradicted testl- .
mony Wednesday by former
Defense Secretary Robert A.
Lovett that Lovett snatched am
munition production away from
the Army last November and
turned control of it over to a
civilian expediter.
Pace said Lovett assigned
civilian assistant to work with
him but that control did not
pass from the Army.
Lovett, blaming "the Army
as a whole" for the shortage,
said he "lost patience" and
gave control to the civiliian as
sistant. -!,'..
Left Army In Charge -
But Pace declared: "The sec
retary did not at any time take
the ammunition problem out of
the hands of the Army.'
As Byrd poured in critical
questions about use of stockpile
ammunition for two years
while production lagged, Pace
said it was only fair to note
that at the start of the Korean
War ammunition wasn't the
major problem. .
"In October and November
of 1950, it was the judgment
that the war would be over by
December, 1950," he said. .
. "Whose judgment wai that?"
Byrd inquired. .
'!That was the judgment of
Oen. Douglas MacArthur and
the general thinking In Wash
ington," Pace replied.
of the customers preferred
trees six feet in height; 10 per
cent liked ten foot trees and
24 percent, 2 to 4 foot tree.
Price of Douglas-fir, the most
popular tree, ranged from 10
to 35 cents per foot. "..
