Newspaper Page TextTEN MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, Cec. 8, 1945 Letter From Washington Bt HARRIS EL.L3WOHIH Mtmbll ot Congress From Oregon I HAVE Just returned to Washington after making the trip to Oregon as a member of the official party to attend the funeral of Honorable James W. Mott who represented the first district of Oregon in Congress. Congressman Mott succeeded the late Willis Hawley whom he defeated in the 1932 election. Until the new Fourth district (which I now represent) was cre ated by the Oregon legislature in 1941, Mr. Mott's district In cluded all of the counties west of the Cascade mountains except Multnomah county which in cludes the city of Portland and Is represented by the Honorable Homer D. Angell. The new Fourth district was created by dividing the First dis trict. My district begins with Linn County and includes the counties west of the Cascades to the California line. Mr. Mott's district began with Benton Coun ty and included the counties west of the Cascades to the Washington State line. The sudden passing of my good friend Jim Mott was a shock to official Washington. In his long service In the House of Representatives, he had achiev ed a position of prominence and leadership. He was ranking mi nority Member of the House Naval Affairs Committee and would have been chairman of that powerful committee when the Republicans organize the House. I SHOULD mention that I shall be a candidate for re-election next year. The term of a member of the House of Repre sentatives is two years. Actually, Oregon members have only 14 months between the end of a general election campaign and the beginning of the primary campaign for re-election. WHILE IN OREGON, I made a study of the problem faced by the Oregon State System of Higher Education with respect, to finding housing accommoda tions for students particularly married students. I arrived here in time to take an active part in the fight on the Floor of the House to include a provision in the pending deficiency appropri ation bill to make temporary war plant housing available for the use of returning veterans particularly those at educational instituyons. I shall also keep in touch with the government agencies here through which ar rangements have been made for the procurement of some houses for the State University and College and do everything possi ble to speed up the completion of the transaction. IN COMPLIANCE with a re quest which I made to the army engineers, I am informed that the port at the mouth of the Siuslaw river at Florence is to be investigated with the idea of improving the entrance and channel and making repairs to the jetties. I am informed that the engineers will conduct hearing at Florence shortly. According to public notice Is sued by the Pa -if ic Division U. S. Engineer's office, the district and division engineers have rec ommended substantial channel improvements at Coos Bay, Ore gon. The project would provide a :hanncl of 40 feet depth across the outer bar at low water and a channel 30 feet deep and 300 feet wide to the mouth of the Isthmus Slough. At North Bend and opposite the Coalbank Slough are provided turning ba sins 000 feet wide and 2000 feet long with the same depth. An chorage basins of the same size are proposed at Mile 3.S and near Mile 7. After the 30 dny waiting peri od which ends December 15, these recommendations go be- fore the board of engineers in Washington for their approval. The first meeting of the board following the above date will be about January 10. I have al ready urged the board to ap prove the recommended harbor improvements. er courses, In chosen crafts. Also, I never cared for "Name on file" signatures. If I write you a letter, the reader can identify it as mine by the signature on the bottom. J. P. Graham. For More Sports To the Editor As an outsider it shouldn't be my place to ask this question: With all the young men and boys in this town why Isn't there a bigger sport program here? I know it sounds pretty silly but may I make this suggestion that the business men of this town or even the boys them selves get together and sponsor teams in baseball and football. For instance, the business men could get together and back a team of their own. They could form a football league that could average teams of 140 to 175 lbs. and call it a Light Senior league. Those over that weight could have a Senior League. You could have 6 teams in each league and the teams put up a certain amount of money as an entry fee which would go as prize or a cup for the winner at the end of the season. All the sponsor would have to do is in vest $300 for uniforms and equipment for his team and that could be made by just run ning a dance or something of the sort. The same would go for baseball with the exception of the weights. I know this is a sports-minded town but nobody seems to do much about it. The games could be played on Sundays and I'm sure someone could get enough interest to really do something about it. They have a basket ball league so why not have a football and baseball league so everyone could have a good time. Please forgive this outburst but I had to make this sugges tion. Where I came from even the 14-year-olds have their own leagues. Benny Fagone 650 Pine St. Closlnf time roi Classified Adi 8:30 m 'ion Late I" Classify 12:15 p m PAINTING H. F.

S. Marine. In this letter, this mythical marine seemed to think he was being deprived of his rights as accorded him through the G. I. Bill of Rights by not being permitted to work on a job that was signed up with the union In an agreement to employ only union help. He asked for comment from other veterans on questions per taining to labor, organized or otherwise. I am a veteran of World War I; I am also a mem ber of Culinary Alliance, local 329 Medford. What I have to sav on this matter, is this: The G. I. Bill of Rights does not purport to interfere In contracts drawn up between lnbor unions and em ployers' associations to the ex tent of forcing them to allow anyone to violate these agree ments by forcibly injecting themselves Into any of such work projects. I have referred to this letter as "mythical" for this reason: In the first place, he has named so many battles and campaigns that he claims to have partici pated In, that he would have to be something more than "Superman" to cover the amount of space he would necessarily have to cover, to be In so many places at one time: In the second place, a thorough investigation has been made by Central Loboi Council and all of its affiliates, to ascertain on which Jot this controversy hap pened. The result of this Inves tigation shows that nothing has happened that In the least re sembles an episode such as de scribed In that letter. As a mere suggestion, we hint that this letter could have been writ ten by some disgruntled person who thinks it is good policy to give the impression to the pub lic that thcro is bad feeling be tween the veterans and organiz ed labor. Labor has a five-point pro. gram for the protection of vet erans' rights and privileges up on their return from service in the armed forces: 1. Seniority rights for veter ans. 2. Plant seniority for disabl ed veterans. 3. Assumption of wife's sen iority. 4. No Initiation fee, if he Joins a union within two years from a date of discharge. B.
