TEN 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.

"Name on file" signatures. If I
write you a letter, the reader
can identify it as mine by the
signature on the bottom.

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.

That "Mythical" Marine
To the Editor:
A short time ago a letter to
the editor (name on file) ap
peared in the Mall Tribune, pur
porting to be from a discharged
U. 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
