Labor Disputes Play Role in Holding Down Oregon Employment Salem tU.R) Labor disputes played the leading role In hold ing last month's employment in Oregon 20,000 below that of May a year ago, the State Unemploy ment Compensation commission aid this week. Only 435,600 non-farm work ers were counted in reports of Oregon firms tabulated by the commission in co-operation with the U. S. Bureau of Labor Sta tistics. That compared with 444, 600 in April and 455,600 a year ago. Most of the losses came in lumbering, food processing and transportation, although trade and construction were affected in lesser degree.

Those directly involved in labor disputes were not entitled to benefits, and many settlements were brought about during the latter part of May and early June. Claims lines dwindled steadily, from 19,339 the first week of April to 5679 two months later lowest figure since early last fall. Employment in lumber and logging dropped to 67,100 in mid May, compared with 80,800 the previous month and 87,100 a year ago. About 15,000 in this main industry were out because of labor trouble. Bakery and bus strikes affected 2000 more work ers. Manufacturing Up Earlier gains in metals, ma chinery and ship repairing were maintained. Miscellaneous manu- facturing lines reported 45,200 at work, 500 more than in April and 3100 more than In May, 1951. Governmental and service groups increased slightly. Con struction picked up seasonally but still was 1,700 below last year's figures. The average number of non farm workers during the first quarter of the year was 425,300, about one per cent below the same period of 1951. Wages re ported by firms covered by the unemployment law were esti mated to be about one per cent higher than the record $266,610, 113 paid out in the first three months last year. Losses during the second quarter, however, are expected to bring the pay roll total for the first half of 1952 well below last year's all-time Sunset's Green Flash BY J. HUGH PRUETT Astronomer, Extension Division Oregon Higher Education System Have you ever while watch ing an unusually clear sunset been rewarded with the beauti ful effect of a flash of green just as the final narrow rim of old Sol dipped below the sky line?

(lUrnatioU Approaching End to Koje Incidents Tops Good News of Week By PHIL NEWSOM United Prata Foreign Analyst The week's balance sheet be tween the good and bad news in the hot and cold wars: THE GOOD 1. Brig. Gen. Haydon L. Boat ner, who believes "you don't ne gotiate with prisoners," gradu ally was bringing Red prisoners on bloody Koje Island under planation in the greater blend ing, absorption, and scattering of the rays of light of short wave length than those of the longer. The explanation is not difficult, but we are more concerned here with the appearance than with the theory. Blend of All Colon It is sufficient to state that sunlight is a blend of all colors of the rainbow, and the order of wave length goes from red, the longest, through orange, yellow, green, and blue to violet, the shortest. A distant horizon gives the best opportunity for seeing the green flash. Watch the setting sun rather indirectly so your eyes will not be blinded by its glare. Then when only the final dot of the yellow disk remains, turn your attention more fully to it. If conditions are then just right, the green will blaze forth with startling suddenness. Julea Verne, the noted French author, mentions this effect in his Le Rayon Vert (The Green Ray). He has young lovers going often to the top of a hill to wit ness this phenomenon, but when others with them saw it, the lov ers never could for they were looking only at each other. Saan in Nil Country In very dry climates the green flash is quite often seen. The Egyptologist, Dr. W. Groof, saw it many times when in the Nile country, and reported evidence that long ago the people of that land were familiar with it. With optical aid the green flash may be seen much longer. Don Hunter of the University of Oregon faculty at Eugene has made a special study of this phe nomenon for many years. On one occasion he viewed it for fully 25 seconds through his binoculars. Then after the direct light was gone, he saw the trees on the mountain crest of the dis tant Coast range glow with the green coming from below his horizon. The green flash may also be seen at sunrise, but it is useless to look for It unless the air is unusually dry and clear. Some times there is a twinkling effect. A lew have reported the much rarer sight, the violet-blue flash Dr. R. G. Aitken, when direc: tor of Lick observatory, several times saw the green flash from the height of Mt. Hamilton. He wrote: "See it once, at sunset or sun rise, and you will certainly waicn eagerly to see It again and rejoice in its beauty when it ap pears." DINE! DANCE! TODAY 3 P.M.

He said the fighting "is over." The 70,000 unruly Reds were being split up into com pounds of 500 men each and at week's end the job was nearly half completed. A proposal that neutral nations inspect the pris oner-of-war camps should, if ac cepted, knock the props from Red propaganda charges that the prisoners were being mistreated, Called Attention to Link 2. A state visit to Turkey by Greek King Paul and Queen Frederika called attention to one of the least noted but one of the strongest links in the steel girdle the West is attempting to fashion for the confinement of Commu nism. The two nations together have more than 500,000 tough, well-trained men ready to fight Communist aggression and have left no doubts about either their willingness to fight if attacked their enthusiastic endorse ment of Western democratic principles. 3. French Premier Antoine Pinay continued his campaign against Communist cells suspect ed of endangering both the in ternal and external security of France. At the same time he continued to gain strength among right-wing political fac tions. It held hope that at one of the most critical periods since the war, a strong French govern ment would be a heavy contri butor toward unity of Europe. THE BAD 1. West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer was running into strong but expected opposi tion to his treaty linking West Germany with the European Army. Russia and its East Ger man stooges continued a cam paign of harassment against West Berlin and it was reported East German school boys were to be trained in the use of rifles for a potential, Communist-controlled East German-Army. 2. British Prime Minister Win ston Churchill, who never has been afraid to announce bad news, sounded the alarm again. He told the British people they were In peril of losing all their possessions and glories because, as a nation, they were precar iously near economic bank ruptcy. His Chancellor of the Exchequer bore him out the next day when it was announced in Commons that Britain's export import balance for May ran $250,000,000 Into the red. Nehru Aitacka NATO 8. Premier Jawarhalal Nehru attacked the North Atlantic Treaty Organization as a "de generating body" which would perpetuate colonialism. He ad mitted that a war between the great powers would bring dis aster to the entire world, but he maintained his fence-straddling position as a neutral. His posi tion seemed increasingly strange for one whose country was particular beneficiary of West ern self-rule policies and which today has Communists both in side the house and on its doorstep. R E D B A R N 10 P.M. Around Hollywood Hollywood U.R) Zsa Zsa Gabor, the world's most beauti ful landlady, has put her man sion up for rent, in ease anybody's i n terested In sleeping in her eight-foot wide bed. The Hungar ian beauty won't admit she's renting the house. "It's so un- Mosby chic, darling, don't you think, to talk about renting one'i home?" she said anxiously. But her real estate agent says It's for rent, and so does the ad in the paper: "Finest two-story home In Bel-Air. 3 bdrm, 3 baths,, 2 maids rms. & baths, gorgeous living rm, unsurpassed view. Lovely filtered pool. Lanai off master suite. Available from July 15 to Oct. IB." During that time she'll be turning on her charm in a movie about Toulouse-Lautrec, the art ist, In Paris. So sh can collect $1,500 a month from her house while she's gone if anybody rents it. For Tax Reasons "It would only be for tax rea sons," she .insisted. "If I rent it I can deduct depreciation and so forth. But really, darling, I don't think it's worth it so I don't think I will rent the house "The tenant would do $2,000 worth of damage. And the rent would hardly cover the storage of my clothes! I would have to put all my personal things away 4-H Members Work To Clean Up Camp A group of 4-H club members and councilors motored to Camp Greyback, Oregon Caves high way, and assisted In the pre camp cleanup last Thursday, ac cording to R. H. Cate Jr., county agent in 4-H work. The agent explained that the group helped in cleaning up the debris left as a result of a col lapse of one of the larger bar rack! buildings during the win ter from the weight of snow. Plana were also discussed for the summer camp to be held there from July 28 to August 2 of this year.

Portland Bakers Reject Pay Increase Portland U.R) By a vote of 254 to 73, Portland bakers Thursday rejected a $5 a week pay boost and other benefits of fered by management to end the six-week old strike against 25 major bakeries here. Union officials said the issue of Sundays off remained the chief obstacle to a settlement. The offer also included health and welfare program. Union Business Agent John Leffelman said it was now up to the federal conciliation service to arrange any more negotiating sessions. Bakery employees In Tacoma also rejected an offer which did not include Sundays off. Starts T ED A Y TH!
