Decline in Number of Employers
Coming Under Compensation Law
Salem, Ore., June 15 (U.R)
For the first time since the war
there has been a decline in the
number of employers subject to
the unemployment compensation
law, the state unemployment
compensation commission said
today.
There was a slight recover In
recent weeks, but about 700 few
er firms were on the commis
sion's books early this month
than one year bko.
Responsibility Placed
A large part of the decline In
new registrations and a material
rise in exemptions because of
1949 1 e g i s 1 a tive amendments
probably was responsible for the
major part of the decrease, the
commission said an analysis
showed. Some of the decline
came from a rise in liquidations
and consolidations.
Liable reporting units June 1
were 16,075 or about 6,000 more
than the pre-1945 average.
Firm openings during the first
five months of 1950 numbered
1,404, as compared "with 1,751
for the same period In 1949. In
addition to this decline of 347 in
new registrations, the number of
concerns exempted from cover
age was 170 greater than for the
same period a year ago.
Other Changes
Officials said other changes
in status also may have been
brought about by the recent leg
islative action, but it is difficult
to estimate the full effect of re
quiring contributions only from

those with four or more em
ployes in six separate weeks of a
quarter with payrolls over $500.
The lumber and construction
fields accounted for more than
half of recent voluntary closings
or liquidations.
Registration rises continued
from the last months of the war
until late in 194B, when a peak
near 17,000 was hit. There was
a drop early last year, but the
number regained ground last
summer and early fall.
There was another drop last
winter because of seasonal de
clines and with the new year ex
emptions period and the amend
ments, but subject firms still re
main nearly 60 per cent above
the prewar and wartime levels.

On New Fighters
Washington, June 15 U.R)
The air force begins extensive
tests this week on three new jet
"penetration" fighters to deter
mine the best one for attacking
deep in enemy territory.
The planes are the McDonnell
XF-88. the Lockheed XF-90 and
the North American YF-93A. a
modification of the "sabre"
which holds a world's speed rec
ord of 670 miles an hour.
Powerful Punch Sought
The air force is striving to de
veloD a fighter, packing a pow
erful punch that can fly 1,000
miles or more inio enemy ter
ritory to attack both aircraft and
ground targets.
The latest version of the F-84E
"thunderjet" has a 1,000-mile
combat radius when two 230
gallon gas tanks are added. But
the air force wants to get this
"penetration" without using wing
tanks.
Comparative tests on the three
experimental fighters at Ed
wards Air Base, tvluroc, Cal., will
last about three weeks. Each al
ready has made successful flights
individually.
Range Considered
Factors to be considered In
clude range, speed, maneuvera
bility, rate of climb, distance re
quired to takeoff and land, oper
ating ceiling, and stability and
control characteristics in flight.
Cockpit design including pilot
comfort, and modification possi
bilities also will be consdered.
All three planes, larger than
present jet fighters, have swept
back wings and speeds close to
that of sound. Designed speeds
are secret, but have been esti
mated from between more than
600 to more than 700 miles an
hour, depending upon altitude.
The XI- -88 and XF-90 are about
the size of twin-engine transports.
Each has two J-.f4 turbojet en
gines and a takeoff weight of 30,
000 pounds.
The YF-93A is larger and more
powerful than its predecessor,
the all-purpose sabre.

Newspaper Charged
In Anti-Trust Suit
New Orleans. June 15 (U.R)
The United States government

that a morning-afternoon news
paper combination tried to break
a competitor by "unlawfully"
cornering advertising and circu
lation. The suit, a civil action, accus
ed the Times-Picayune Publish
ing company and four officers
and employees of violating the
Sherman antitrust act. The news
paper which the defendants were
accused of trying to destroy is

Attorney-Gen. J. Howard Mc
Grath said in Washington that
the defendants were charged
with conspiring to "restrain and
monopolize commerce in news
papers, in the dissemination of
news and advertising, and in
supplies." It also charges, he
said, that the company entered
into "unlawful contracts with its
advertisers in violation of the
same statute."

Ann Sheridan, who's been sec
retly sponsoring a "skid row"
boys' club
since 194 7,
came out in the
open today to
fight Los An

"rat pack" hys
teria. "Have to,"
t h e beauteous
redhead said.
"We're broke.

"Nobody wants to give money
to boys they think are sneaking
up on people in the dark."
A wave of 'teen-aged gang ter
rorism has been responsible re
cently for a scries of robberies
and beatings, characterized by
the newspapers as "rat pack" at
tacks. For three years Annie's been
shelling out money, food, tele
vision sets, clothes, and jobs to
Mickey Finn's youth clubs. Finn,
a handsome, 27-year-old police
man, has a local ' Boys Town"
set-up in the heart of downtown
skidrow.
"And the kids are crazy about
her." he said. "They know she
really cares about 'em. We've
had other movie stars down
there. They make big promises
but that's the last we ever
hear of 'em."
Most of Finn's contributions
have been dribbling in from
businessmen and civic groups
who think it's a good idea to
keep underprivileged kids out of
tangles with the law.
"But the rat packs cut those
off but good." Finn sighed.
'Now we've got nobody but
Annie."
Siie and Finn round up kids
from the town's toughest districts
for club meeting? on the top
floor of an old business building.
'When we first started we had
nothin'," Finn said. "Then Annie
heard about it. She said she'd
like to come down. I didn't pay
any attention to that. I'd heard
it from those movie stars be
fore." "B u t darned if she doesn't
show up. Not in mink and satin
like those others. She had on a
skirt and sweater.
"Then she started talking to
the kids ... in their own lan
guage. Before long they were

telling her stuff they'd never
even told me."
For three years Annie kept
her checkbook open and her
pretty mouth shut. Press agents
had strict orders to do likewise
about the Finn club.
"But I finally convinced her
she had to talk about it," Finn
said. "The boys need the dona
tions her name would bring in."
Mayor Asks Aid
Of Citizens on
Fireworks Safety
Stressing that Medford has be
come more densely populated
and that fire risks are greater.
Mayor Diamond Flynn has called
upon residents to observe the ex
isting ordinance concerning use
of firecrackers inside the city
limits.
Asks Cooperation
Flynn said he would like the
cooperation of all the people in
curbing flagrant abuse, rather
than having to call upon city en
forcement departments. Viola
tion of the ordinance, he stated,
throws an extreme strain upon
police and firemen. He brought
out the possibilities of loss of
life and property.
The mayor reported that many
complaints come from people
who are ill or of nervous tem
perament and asked for consid
eration of their feelings.
It is the duty of every citizen
to cooperate in refraining from
bringing firecrackers into the
city, Flynn declared.
