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.

ployment, the aeasonal decline
for compensation continued with
out interruption. 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

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?
The charming and rare pheno
menon lasts but a few seconds,
and once seen will never be for
gotten. The green flash finds its ex-

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!

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

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.

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

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

not include Sundays off.

handl mav live here while I'm
gone. I hate to leave the house
empty," she reflected.
"I am not getting a divorce
and George isn't and I don't
know what will happen, she
added.
Experienced Landlady
Zsa Zsa is an experienced
landlady, since she collects
houses here and there. When she
met Sanders she was living in
a five-storv brownstone mansion
on Park avenue in New York.
"If. f( cult to rent, though.
It needs five servants and who
pan afford the unkeen. But this
Bel-Air home needs only two
servants and a gardener.
Zsa Zsa's $150,000 home is so
.lpcant she never knows wheth
er men court her for herself or
her unsurpassed view.
Really A Dowry
"One director wants to buy
the house and when I wouldn't
sell he said he would marry Zsa
7n n he could get the house,"
she trilled. "It's really a dowry."
The hilltop house is a good zu
minutes from a grocery store.
However, it features a Kidney
shaped swimming pool, Chinese
modern decor and her pink bed
that has room for four sleepers.
In case she forgets to tell the
new tenant, the key to the liquor
closet is hidden in the piano
bench.
