Labor Bills Pending
' Labor bills pending in Oregon will revolu
tionize Oregon industry as much as Governor
Holmes' efforts to abolish the Board of Con
trol will revolutionize its executive and ad
ministrative departments and probably ef
fectively bar the door to new industry as well
as nampor existing enterprises. So what ever
the workers may gain they will mourn a loss
of opportunity to work.
Labor unions are making a determined
drive for: (1) changing the name "Unemploy
ment Compensation" to "Employment Secur
ity"; (2) increasing the benefits from the
presont maximum of $35 to 65 of average
annual wage; (3) extending the coverage to all
employers of one or more; (4) permitting a
person who starts drawing benefits to get
the full 26 weeks; (5) removing the require
ment that a claimant must actively seek
work; and (6) eliminating the merit rating
and place all employers on the 2.7 base.
Labor bills are SB 62, SB 63, SB 65 and
SB 381. One can see in these bills an attempt
to make unemployment benefits lake on
the character of welfare rather than insur
ance to tide workers through temporary un
employment caused through no fault of their
own. Employers say that if the legislature
wanted to give these benefits to workers then
it should raise the money for this welfare
through general taxation and then pay it nut
based on need and not as a dole as proposed
in these bills.
Senate Bill 63, among other things, would
change the present $35 per week maximum
to $40 on July 1, 1957, $45 in 1958, $50 in
1959, and in 1960 to B7 of the average
gross weekly wage. SB 381 would repeal the
merit rating and put all contributions at the
2.7 rate until the fund equals 5 of the
total payrolls in the slate. Once the fund
reached this figure, contributions would be
divided and one-half would remain in the
fund while the other half would be applied
toward reducing employer's contributions
based on a new "credit class" system.'
.; Employers have Introduced SB 67, SB B9
and SB 74, aimed at tightening up the quali
fications for benefits and defining seasonal
qnd nonseasonal employment. The employ
tjrs group is not asking for any change in
benefits and they feel that If the legislature
will tighten up eligibility, contributions will
be sufficient to meet the needs of the fund.
G.P.
For All the People
: The Oregon National Guard, through Ad
jutant General Thomas E. Rilea and his staff,'
lias come up with a very practical plan where
by Salem can get a multi-purpose public
building that would serve as armory, Stale
Fair facility, public auditorium and for gen
eral purpose civic usage at relatively low
tost to the local community.
: The plan was presented city and counly
Officials and Marion Counly members of the
Legislature at a Cily Hall mooting Tuesday
night. General Rilea told them he would pre
fer that the building, should it be realized,
be known as a community cenlcr rather than
an armory.
Estimates place the total cost at $872,089,
of which the Federal Government would
share a calculated $347,197. leaving $524,891
to come from city, state and county. There is
a possibility that the Slate Legislature will
appropriate enough that the city-county share
would bo reduced to about $300,000.
It looks loo good to pass up. But there are
uncertainties and obstacles. The federal
money is available. How much the State will
appropriate is uncertain, and there is no as
surance that Marion County will consent to
participate. The amount raised by city or
county will have to be by bond Issue or
special millagc lax. The latter, continuing for
two or three years, might lie preferable, al
though the building for military purposes is
an immediate need General Rilea said it could
be held In abeyance a year or two.
Another uncertainty is the local attitude
toward money raising measures, for a vote of
Ihe people would be necessary. In recent
elections Salem voters, while they have ap
proved a necessity like the water line, have
rejected other needed things, like airport im
provement and park land acquisition.
The building, located on the fairgrounds,
would serve the National Guard as a military
facility. II would serve the State Fair as a
womens' activity building, the city and county
for many purposes, Including an auditorium
with capacity of 5000 that has been needed so
long. II would, as General Rilea says, be a
community cenlcr.
The best and only way to rcslore the good
repute of Portland is the speedy trial, and
prompt punishment of racketeers and ter
rorists indicted. Governor Martin showed the
way to promptly end racketeering as well as
labor terrorism in 1936-38 by trial, conviction
and Imprisonment of Dave Beck's goons of
the Tcamslcrs union.
All of Oregon's slate officials and legisla
tors know about the unsavory record of Dave
Beck and his Teamsters in Oregon politics,
and some of them accepted their contribu
tions to their campaign funds for elec
tion. G. P.

RAY TUCKER
Big Trusts In for
Go vcriiineiit Inquiry
WASHINGTON An anlimonopoly drive,
reminiscent of but different from "Teddy"
Roosevelt's (ruck-busllng days, is under way
on Capitol Hill. At least five committees are
investigating vast concentrations of corporate
and economic control in many
fields foreign and domestic ;
oil, automobiles, food, avia-
tmn, Industries, banks, utili
ties, .securities, television and
radio.
Although the inquiriqs are f
generally sponsored by Dem- '
ocrats, and sometimes with
political motives, there is a
serious fear among the legis
lators that many economic en- ray tucker
terprises are becoming too big for their own
good or for the national welfare. It is be
lieved that they exercise too great a control
over production, wages, employment, prices,
profits and general distribution of wealth.
They are becoming, in fact, supergovern
mcnts. Want Vigilant Government Supervision
There is no desire to smash or break up
these combinations, as in the first Roosevelt's
and Wilsonian days. It is recognized that they
contribute to progress and the world's highest
standard of living. The current demand is
that they be brought under more vigilant sup
ervision and regulation by the Federal gov
ernment. And there is a suspicion that the control
ling corporations, as happened in the years
leading to the 1929 crash, are pursuing a
selfish and shortsighted policy in some in
stances. Many conservative economists share
this opinion.
Instead of maintaining a mass market for
their products by lowering prices or raising
wages, they arc contributing to a possible
buyers' famine and the real threat to con
tinued prosperity namely, underconsump
tion. Even with extremely heavy taxes, profits
arc running at a high level.
Tendency to Become Political
It is at this point that the argument about
monopoly tends to become political. The
Democrals charge that the Eisenhower "big
business" Administration is too sympathetic to
these trends. They maintain that all the Fed
eral regulatory agencies favor this kind of
concentration the D of .1, FTC, FCC, FPC and
the Commerce Department. They mention
that Treasury Secretary Humphrey and Sec
retary Weeks are peculiarly sympathetic.
Indeed, recalling Calvin Coolidgc's remark
that "The business of government is busi
ness," they depict Ike as "only a more popular
and human and good-natured Vcrmonter."
They think that he accepts as gospel the ad
vice of the corporation builders in ids Cabinet
and official family.
Oil Companies Antitrust Offenders
Senator Joseph C. O Mahoney, for in
stance, believes that the Administration lias
permuted a few great oil companies to profit
from the Suez Canal crisis, lie charges that
they were allowed to violate the antitrust laws
under the guise of relieving the oil shortage.
In his opinion, they arc permitted to make
treaties contracts with Middle Fast nations
as If they were sovereign powers.
Senator Mike Monroney worries over the
plight of small automobile manufacturers
and dealers. He notes that last year the "big
three" Genera! Motors. Ford and Chrysler
produced about 98.3 per cent of total out
put, as against 97.7 so far this year. The In
dependents' figures are 3 7 and 2.3 per cent,
respectively, and they cannot continue, in
business at that rate.
HAL BOYLE
Senators Protest Probe
Both Oregon Senators Wayne Morse and
Dick Neubcrger have attempted In intervene
with protests with the V. S. Senate invcstl
gators of racketeering by t tie Teamsters union
officials at Portland. The Senators protest
"in behalf of various political figures and to
protect the good state of Oregon, whose
name has been besmirched'' in the testimony
offered.
Senator Morse, under pressure of Demo
cratic politicians, took the Senate floor to
question the whole procedure of the investi
gation and protested that it should review
"so that when a question of the guilt or in
nocence of a fellow American is before a
Senate committee, the precious safeguards of
procedure which aro so essential to a fair
trial In our country will be preserved and
guaranteed to him in the interests of Justice,"
Senator Ncuberger, with Maurino at his
side, cited as proof of Portland's morality and
goodness the number of the city's churches,
libraries and parks. "II Is not a wicked city."

Earned Bare Llvint
In 1944 they were earning a bare

Then they started turning out
plastic toy furniture, and grossed
$100,000 the first year.
Elliot turned out to have a

lalent for solving production prob

This year their firm, which has
up to 1.000 employes in peak sea

do a business of nearly 10 million
dollars.

As the dinner proceeded Handel's thoughts

For the United States to have sent

lucky thing, too, that an experi

Encroaching on Executive
But the carping criticism really
has little lo do with (he merits of
all these questions. The truth is
that some members of the Demo-
cratic party in Congress now arc
outdoing what Senator McCarthy
of Wisconsin was accused of doing
in encroaching on the pre-
rogatives of the executive branch
of the government." Although the
president is charged by the con
si inil ion with Ihe tiuly of conduct
ing the foreign relations of Ihe
United States, the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee has appoint
ed a special subcommittee whose
plain object seems to be to badger
the secretary ot slate at me very
time when a crisis is going on in
the Middle East.
Picavunish items in the press
arc seized upon for inquiry. Thus,
when a former attache at tnc
White House mam an off-ttic culf
statement in a speech a few days
ago about the breakup of the As
wan Dam negotiations with Nas
ser of Egypt in 1956, the senate
Subcommittee promptly announced
that it would "investigate.
Demos Against Aswan Dam
But there's one thing the Demo
cratic senators will never investi
gate, and that's the background
ot the episode in which certain
Democratic senators served a
warning against spending money
for the Aswan Dam financing. In
fact, the Senate Appropriations
Committee early in 1956 wrote in
its foreign aid report a specific
provision that no funds could be
used for tnc Aswan Dam without
the prior approval of the commit
tee. It was quite clear at the time
that scnalors from cotton-growing
states were fearful of Ihe compe
tition of Egyptian cotton grown at
lower cost if the dam were built.
Many of the. Democratic senat
ors, for some of these same rea
sons, voled recently against the
provision in the Eisenhower doc
trine resolution authorizing Ihe
president to use 1200.000.000 for
economic aid in the .Middle bast
If the Democratic parly thesis of
today is lhat Nasser should have
been given the Aswan Dam, then
the thesis of yesterday implies
that the materialistic interests of
a special economic group inter

tradiction.
