FOUR MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE
I
' With the extension of labor
control measures, developed ir.
critical west coast labor centers
since last November, to the rest
of the state and nation, a flurry
of questions have besieged the
local office of the United States
Employment Service.
; For example, "Do the extend
ed regulations cover all man
power in Oregon?", Is a question
asked again and again by both
employers and employees.
The answer, as given by Man
agei Lewis Ulrich, Is "Yes ex
cept or men employed in agri
cultural pursuits or in the log
ging and lumbering industries."
Agriculture, says Mr. Ulrich,
has been specifically excluded
from the labor stabilization sys
tem, and the logging and lum
bering Industries operate under
a modified program providing a
more fluid shifting of men from
Job to Job within the industry
without "priority referral" ex
cept for men who wish to leave
logging or lumbering Jobs for
some other occupation.

ral?" Is another question Mr.
Ulrich undertook to answer.
Priority referral, according to
Mr. Ulrich, is a voluntary meth
od, agreed upon by labor, man
agement and government not to
hire any man unless he has been
sent to fill that particular Job
by the United States Employ
ment Service or another "refer
ral" agency. A system of man
power priorities will be set-up
as a means of channeling worK
c.ri to critically urgent projects
which are behind schedules.
In logging and lumbering oc
cupations, a worker may move
from one Job to any other where
there is an opening within the
Industry provided only he has a
special "release" (pink) form
from his last employer. He can'
not be hired, however, by any
person outside the lumber indus
try unless he has been sent spe
cifically to that Job by the Unit-
ed States Employment Service.
The extension of the labor
controls beyond the Portland
Vancouver area does not mater
ially affect any worker within
that area. Outside the Portland-
Vancouver area, employment
ceilings and manpower allow
ances will not be used, Mr. Ul
rich added. These controls are
needed only in critically-short
labor areas.
In Jackson county the priority
referral area is composed of the
city of Medford, plus the Timber
Products company and Medford
Corporation plants at the north
city limits of Medford, plus the
federal government installations
In the vicinity of Medford.
(Camp White and the Ordnance
Service Command shops.)
This new program becomes
effective July 6th and applies
only to the priority referral
area. There is no change from
present procedures in the rest of
the county.
RAPID-FIRE DIVORCE
Chicago, June 30. (U.R) The
wheels o justice may grind
slowly, but Circuit Court Judge

the bench. The Judge was at
tempting to clear his court cal

OVER LAST YEAR
Chicago, June 30 (U.R) The
National Safety Council report
ed today that the traffic death
toll for the first five months of
this year was 11 per cent, or
nearly 1,000 lives, higher than
in the corresponding period in
1943.
There were 9,400 traffic
deaths from Jan. 1 to May 31,
this year, compared to 8,440 for
the same period in 1943 and
13,914 for the first five months
of 1941, the council reported.
While the figures showed an
Increase of 11 per cent between
this year and last year, traffic
deaths for the first five months
of 1944 were 33 per cent below
the January-May, 1941 figure,
figure.
Col. John Stllwell, president
of the council, said that the traf
fic situation is serious as the
nation is entering its peak traf
fic fatality season, which usual
ly begins with the Fourth of
July and extends through the
vacation months Into October,
WISECRACK NETS
YEAR IN POKEY
Pittsburgh, June 30 (U.R) A
crack by William J. McCracken
in criminal court yesterday
brought about a crack by Judge
Alexander Cooper which will
give McCracken a whole year
not to make any more cracks.
Charged with choking his
wife, Cecilia, after she found
him with another woman, Mc
Cracken was asked by the Judge
whether he would stay away
from the "other woman.".
"That's pretty hard to say,"
retorted McCracken.
The judge snapped:
"It won't be so hard, maybe
one year in the workhouse."
WESLEY LING REPORTED
MISSING IN AIR RAID
Ashland, June 30 Mrs.
Vivien Ling, of Burbank, Calif.,
who is here visiting her mother,
Mrs. Lillian Greer, has received
word that her son, Wesley, an
officer in the U. S. Air Corps,
had been reported missing in
action, but that a fellow officer
stated the flier and his crew
had bailed out, apparently suc
cessfully. Wesley, who . has since this
action been promoted from first
lieutenant to captain, was over
enemy territory in France on
June 11 when forced to bail
out. His parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Harvey Ling, are hopeful that
he and his crew were sheltered
by some friendly Frenchmen
and were relieved to learn that
-there is hope that he survived
the bailing out.

The Invasion Meteor
. By J. Hugh Pruett than by the full moon. Mrs.
Pacific Director, Marion Adams of Springfield,
American Meteor Society Oregon, thought for a moment
The English reported that as that the big moon was running
their forces were moving onto away and breaking up. Many
the beaches in Normandy, a were startled by the sudden
gorgeous rainbow spanned the flare of light, those indoors
morning sky, to them a token of
coming allied success. But over
far-away Oregon, at about the i
same time, a blazing meteor
tore across the heavens, seem
ingly intent on announcing
something of great importance.
The fireball's flight occurred at
10:24 p. m., P.W.T., and since
radio stations were soon telling
the news that the invasion had
started, this fireball was
promptly dubbed the "Invasion
Meteor."
The fireball was variously de
scribed is being large as the
moon,' half a football, a huge
ball of blue flame, a bright
green bail, etc. Several agreed
that it broke into three pieces,
but some had these all flying
off in the final explosion, while
others said these pieces de
tached themselves at various
places along the turbulent path.
Many mention a red, yellow,
or i
green shower of sparks.
That it was very brilliant is
certain, for the landscape was i few seconds when approximate
lighted many times brighter I ly 20 miles above the ocean.

thinking it was lightning,
The American Meteor Society
was . concerned in determining
the fireball's path and in find
ing any fragments which might
have reached earth.
L. E. Ordeman on Beaumont
Hill, Portland, saw the fireball
disappear slightly east of the
Veterans Hospital on Marquam
Hill several miles across the
city. Measurement showed this
was about 50 degrees south of
west. At Thurston, over 100
miles south, Ben H. Pruitt noted
the explosion appeared close to
Regulus, a star then 10 degrees
south of weit. Now by drawing
lines of sight from Portland and
Thurston and continuing them
until they cross, we locate the
final explosion locality as over
the Pacific ocean about 25
miles west of the coast. Deduc
tions indicate the meteor be-
came visible west of Crater
Lake, traveled northwesterly
and became non-luminous in a
large cargo planes In addition to
the regular air express service
and was flown at a three-mlle-a-mlnute
speed from the United
States to South America.
