Nearly 20,000
Return to Jobs
In Past Month
Salem, Ore., Apr. 10 U.R
Nearly 20,000 worKcrs reiurnea
to their jobs in Oregon during
March, the state employment
service reported today. But a
new influx of job-seekers held
the actual monthly gain to
16.000.
Local offices of the service
said 58,605 persons still were
looking for work, 10.5 per cent
fewer than a year ago and about
40.000 under the winter peak
earlv in February.
Klamath Falls reported 2.400
without jobs, an increase of 375
during March. Reports about
new industries opening up
up brought hundreds across the
California border, officials said.
The only other Oregon com
munity with more unemployment
April 1 than a month before
was Toledo, where a labor dis
pute resulted in 1.050 idle as
against 050 March 1.
Declines from 40 to 60 per
cent In unemployment were re
ported from Hood River, Tilla
mook. Oregon Cjty, Lebanon
and Roscburg mostly due to
resumption of logging and lum
bering operations.
The number without work
dropped less than 20 per cent
in Portland. Corvallis, Eugene,
Freewater, Bend, La Grande and
Grants Pass.
Astoria, Pendleton and Eugene
reported more unemployed than
on April 1, 1040.

4. To repay costs of project

5. To sell power to "public

well as to those public agencies
now entitled to priorities under
federal reclamation law. The
priorities would be preserved
under Watkins proposal
6. To permit financing of
"poor" projects out of revenues
from richer projects.
Charter Corporation
The associations could be rec
oenized by the secretary ot in
terior to perform these functions
on the application ol a majority
of governors of states within an
interstate river system. the sec
retary would "charter a body
corporate" after receiving ar
ticles of incorporation from the
eovernors
Watkins said federal owner
ship and control of projects stem
med largely from the fact that
new developments cover sweep-
ine areas where no authorized
local agency exists to contract
with the government.
He said valley authorities nave
been suggested as the proper
vehicle for grand-scale water de
velopment, but have met "strong
resistance in the west."
H i s Dronosed associations
would consist of shareholder
members who would elect not
less than five and not more than
21 directors for three-year stag
eered terms. The directors, in
turn, would be authorized to ap-
noint administrative staffs, but
only by an affirmative vote of
three-fourths.

Christian Science
Speaker Points to
'Way of Freedom'
Knowing God and man
through spiritual understanding
is the way to find freedom from
fear, from sin and sickness, free
dom from lack and limitation, a
Medford audience was told Sun
day by Arthur Perrow, Chicago,
111., in a Christian Science lec
ture.
Everyone may become aware
of man's "God-ordained freedom
in truth freedom from all the
falsities and limitations of physi
cal sense testimony" witn the
light which Christian Science
throws on the messages of the
Bible, he maintained.
Member of Board
Mr. Perrow, for years a Chris
tian Science practioner in Chi
cago, is now a member of The
Christian Science Board of Lec
tureship. He spoke in Medford
high school auditorium under
auspices of First Church of
Christ, Scientist, Medford. Sub
ject of his talk was "Christian
science: Ihe Way of Freedom.
He was introduced by Edward
Humphrey, first reader.
The answer to every prob
lem the solution for every dis
cord is already established in
divine perfection, and can be
found through spiritual under
standing, the lecturer main
taincd.
"There is no such thing as un
answered prayer, when one
prays aright with faith and un
derstanding," he said, "because
the answer is already estab
lished, awaiting our acceptance,
our acknowledgment, of the di
vine presence and its power to
supply all good, to meet our ev
ery need.
Freedom in Knowing
Prayer does not change the
purpose of divine love," he said.
"Prayer means knowing the
truth as it exists eternally, the
knowing which Jesus said is
requisite to our freedom." This
freedom, Mr. Perrow made clear,
includes freedom from fear, fail
ure, sickness, and all other types
of discords.
He told of a time when, very
ill and in great pain, he turned
to the Biblical passage (I Kings
5:4): "But now the Lord my God
hath given me rest on every side,
so that there is neither adver
sary now evil occurrent." Pray
erful study of this passage, he
said, brought about his-healing.
"Even the first word 'but' un
der the circumstances meant a
great deal to me," he related. "I
interpreted it to mean that re
gardless of the situation, regard
less of what the condition might
be called, the outstanding and
only truth remained that God
had already given me rest,
peace, so that contrary to mor
tal sense testimony of the mo
ment, there really was no ad
versary there was no evil oc
curring. I was healed instantly."

American Scientists To Clean Up
Radioactive Region With Geigers
Oak Ridge, Tenn., Apr. 10
iu.ru un May 1, while Kussia
beats its military breast, 22
American scientists deep in Oak
Ridge's . secret area will arm
themselves with Gciger count
ers to "clean up" after a mock
atom bomb "attack."
Thousands of miles away, in
Moscow, communists will mass
in Moscow's Red square to watch
Soviet military parades in tradi
tional celebration of the commu
nist "May day."
Quiet Demonstration
Here, the demonstration will
be a quiet one. But officials of
the atomic energy commission
regard it as the first concrete
step toward putting civilians on
guard against radiation effects
of an atomic attack.
Scientists attending a five
week "teacher training" course
in atomic warfare defense at the
Oak Ridge Institute of Nuclear
Studies will form the mop-up
force.
Instead of hand buckets and
tin hats, trademarks of the civil
ian defense wardens of World
War II, they will move into the
"hot" area with Geiger counters
to find the worst contaminated
spots and rid them of radiation.
Area Selected
An area adjacent to the
"graveyard" o f radioactive
waste materials near the national
laboratory here has been selected
for this atomic age "obstacle
course." The props will include
cast-off buildings and a variety
of construction materials.
The "bomb" will be set off
when the dcaejly rays of a short
lived isotope are released Into
the atmosphere. Radioactivity
will penetrate deepest into the
building blocks, but also will
enter stainless steel frames of
windows.
Garbed in ordinary coveralls
rubber shoes and hats, the sci
entists will judge how close they
are to a danger area by the rate
of clicks from the Geiger
counter.
Portable survey meters, which
measure radiation quantitative
ly, will tell them how much time
they have to decontaminate be
fore they are overcome with
"radiation sickness."
Some Treated Chemically
Some of the least radioactive
materials, depending on the por
ous quality of the surface, can
be decontaminated simply by
washing with water. Others will
have to be treated chemically to
neutralize the radioactivity. The
rest will be staked off and
posted.
H. J. McAlduff, a health-physicist
at the laboratory who is in
charge of the "attack," said it
will be conducted under care
fully controlled conditions. It
will, however, afford the first
practical demonstration on an or
ganized scale of radiation decon
tamination "using common
sense" methods, he said.
The scientists, representing 16
states from Florida to the mid
west, are learning even now to
take a Gciger counter apart and
repair it. In laboratories and
classrooms. AEC health-nhvsi-
rists are teaching them about
the dozen or more elements
formed when an atom bomb
bursts.
Similar courses are under way
at AEC installations at the
Brookhaven, N. Y., national lab
oratory and at the University of
California at Berkeley,
After the courses are ended
the scientists attending them will
have the job of passing on their
information to other persons in
their own states, principally edu
cators. Portland. Ore.. Apr. 10 (U.R)
Fishermen today reported a late
run of smelt in the Columbia
river off Clatskanie.

Trill it your chance to help conquer cancer. A vital
chance for the millions of Americans who will fall
victim to the disease.
Yes, millions now living will have to battle for
their lives against this grim killer. Where it will
strike no one can say, The man in the next block?
Your next door neighbor? Even... your own home?
Not a pleasant thought, Is it? But entirely possible.
What are yon going to do about it? Will you help
to bring hope to those living under the shadow of
this cruel disease?
HOPE through continued and intensified research to un
cover the cause and cure.
HOPE through an education program to teach recognition
of symptoms and the urgent necessity of prompt treatment.
Many are being saved, but tens of thousands die who could
and should be saved.
HOPE through improved services for those already stricken.
Your dollars can mean the difference between hope
and despair between life . . , and death. Gin you
afford not to help?
