Gooch and Cooley Head Advance Gifts Division "It is a big job and it takes lots Of time, but you've got a top prod uct to sell," Earl Gooch, Salem supervisor for Manufacturer's Life Insurance company, said in ac cepting the chairmanship of the 6 advance gifts division, one of the major units of organization in the Compare Morse (Continued from Page 1) Brannan, who first entered the V. S- department of agriculture In 1935 as assistant regional at torney In the Resettlement Ad ministration and was secretary ef agriculture 1948-1952, said the urban press has no impulse or real interest in telling the story of farm people. He hammered at the point that the present at administration has announced it will bring about destruction of price supports by marshalling the 130 million U. S. people not on farms. The labor movement has put $36,000 into the Hells Canyon dam fight, J. T. Marr, executive secretary of the American Fed eration of Labor, told the after n o o n session. "Contributions were not coming in very well un til personal letters to interna tional labor unions by Senator Wayne Morse brought in some J5.000 checks," he related. Marr, who is national president of the Hells Canyon Association, said that "in November the organiza tion was broke, now we have $14, 000 in the bank and can go back to the federal congress on this problem." Marr said it was time for labor and farmers to unite behind can didates fevorable to them. "How In the name of common sense you can send people to the legisla ture like Mr. Chadwick from Marion county is more than I can understand." he concluded. Of 60 members of the last legislature, 22 were friends of labor and the farmer, 27 were no good for la bor and the farmer, Marr noted. George Brown of the CIO said that with 70,000 unemployed in Oregon at the present time, we have the highest rate of unem ployed, 1S.B per cent, of any state in the U. S. This is more than a temporary or seasonal situation and people are afraid it will be a political issue if such a serious situation is admitted, he said. Brown sucgested that in the ab sence nf surplus power for big industries a study be made to ward establishing small businesses- He said aluminum could be fabricated here. In the lumber industry he noted that Oregon labor gets but two man days on the product before it is shipped east where it is fabricated requir ing five man days and then ship ped back to this area. Governor Paul Patterson, in a brief appearance before the con vention, noted that most Oregon lumber cutting is now being done at the 2,500 foot elevation, soon would go to 3.000 foot areas and as it becomes more scarce agri culture must be fitted into the gap- , . Warehouses at Camp Adair have capacity to store between one and one and a half million bushels of grain next fall if need ed. Patterson said. Idle ships in Astoria harbor might also be used for emergency storage. Patterson mentioned studies and recommendations being made on Western Oregon water resources.

George Goforth, campaign chair man, in announcing the appoint ment of Gooch and Cooley expres ed pleasure in the enthusiasm they expressed for Red Cross services. "When you really know Red Cross you are amazed at the ex tent of the services given at a minimum cost," he declared.

In Marion county there were 3282 pints used in transfusions in 1953. which, at a minimum rate of $35 a pint, would have cost the reci pients $114,870.
