Washington, April 30 U.F9
President William Green of tne
American Federation of Labor,
after a conference with Presi
dent Truman today, forecast
"widespread unemployment" in
this country immediately after
V-E Day.
Green said that he thought
most of this unemployment
would be temporary during the
period of reconversion. But be
cause the postwar period Is so
"very near," he had taken up
the subject with the Chief Ex
ecutive.
It was Mr. Truman's first con
fcrence as president with one
of the ranking labor leaders of
the nation.
Green said the labor force on
the west coast already was feel
ing the Impact of heavy cutbacks
in the production of airplanes
and ships and that there were
equally heavy cutbacks in prog
ress in tanks and ammunition.
A total of 106 veterans of
World War II now are attending
Illinois Institute of Technology.
John r. White, co-ordinator of
veterans' affairs, reports.

ASHLAND PLAZA
TO BE FINISHED
Ashland, April 30 The Ore
gon state highway commission
has earmarked $55,000 for im
provement of the highway
through Ashland in its three
year postwar program, it was
announced here last week. First
on the list of improvements will
probably be completion of the
corner at the city plaza which
was halted by the war.
Some of the buildings have al
ready been torn down to make
way for the improvement but
some sites yet remain to be pur
chased by the state. It is not
stated in the highway commis
sion's report whether the local
improvement will receive A-l
priority in the state's program
but because it was started be
fore the war it is thought by
many to be considered for com
pletion as soon as possible.
ASHLAND TO VOTE ON
A TAX LEVY INCREASE
Ashand, April 30 The citi
zen's budget committee of the
Ashland school board last week
unanimously approved the
school budget which proposed an
increase of salaries of approxi
mately $10,000. The budget re
port calls for an expenditure of
$131,089 for the fiscal year with
total estimated income for the
year of $56,100.
An election will be held May
21 for the purpose of submitting
to the legal voters of the district
the question of increasing the
tax levy for the school year.

New Technique
Giving Plasma la
Help To Wounded
Schenectady, N. Y., (U.R) The
speed with which blood plasma
is administered to a critically
wounded serviceman often is the
difference between life and
death.
Lt. Allan A. Fisher, U. S.
Navy surgeon assigned to the
Schenectady Red Cross blood
donor center, says a new techni
que has been developed in com
bat areas whereby the plasma
is administered in four places in
a man's body simultaneously, in
order to get it into him quickly
enough to save his life.
"One bottle of plasma is fed
into each arm and one bottle is
fed to the patient in each leg,"
Fisher said.
"I know of many traumatic
shock cases 1' plasma is admin
istered within 45 minutes a life
is saved. An hour would be too
late," he added..
As many as 10 pints have been
required to save the life of one
man, the Mediterranean theater
veteran and purple heart wearer
says.
"Cases using two and three
pints are not uncommon," he ex
plained. "As a matter of fact,
because of this, now packages are
being made up with full quarts
of plasma because a pint is so
seldom enough."

generously to an appeal so rltal
to you and those you love.
Eric A. Johnson
BEYOND words to describe, is the
grief and heartache that comes to
mothers, wives, fathers, when they
receive the grim telegram which begins,
"The War Department regrets
But, what of the heartaches the many
more heartaches that come to our fight
ing men as letters from home reveal the
terrific toll exacted by Cancer here
among their loved ones . a a While Axis
engines of war wer killing 121,363 Americans on the fighting
fronts, (Dec. 7, lS4i. lo Dec. 7, 1944) Cancer was killing 495,
000 of their mothers, their fathers, their sisters, their brothers,
their friends even their children. . . . Yes, here at home, during
the first three years of World War II, 495,000 Americans were
killed by Cancer. And, right now, 600,000 more Americans are
suffering from that dread and cruel disease . , . One out of every
8 of you who read this will die of Cancer unless you do some
thing about it. For Cancer kills 1 65,000 Americans every year. It
may well kill you or one of thos e you love. ... Every hour, Cancer
is killing 18 Americans. . . . Cancer is the greatest killer of Amer
ican women between the ages of , 35 and 55. . . . Cancer is the sec
ond greatest killer of American men. . . . Cancer, if permitted to
continue its vicious way, will kill 17,000,000 of us who are living
today. . . . But cancer can be conquered! . . . Thousands more lives
can be saved in fact Cancer may well be made a minor cause of
death if scientists are supported in a full-scale intergrated re
search program. . . . Only a thoroughly aroused American can
assure the success of this campaign can supply the $5,000,000
needed this year for the all-out war on Cancer . . . Give and get
your friends to give. The smallest gift is as important as the
largest.
