"NICE MAN" Smiles abound as 3-year-old Phil Dutcher tickles Dwight D. Eisenhower's chin during visit to Republican presiden tial candidate's Denver headquarters. Phil told the general he was a "nice man." Looking on are the proud father, Harris A. Dutcher (left) of Bartleville, Okla., and Senator Frank Carlson of Kansas. Seattle Citizens Shrug Off Threat of Atom Bomb Seattle, Wash. U.R) Amer icans live with the threat of the A-bomb here and they shrug and say so what?" In this day of the 600-mile-per-hour jet plane, Seattle is on ly three-and-a-half to four hours flight time from Soviet bases which ring the Bering Strait. No one among the 500,000 citizens of the West Coast's third largest city the largest Amer ican city nearest Siberia de nies that Seattle would be a prime target should war come tomorrow. The A-bomb here is cata logued in a class with earth quakes and tidal-waves. Sure they can happen. But what can you do about it? Civil Defense Active Civil defense is active. Radio and television spots dramatize the correct things to do in case of attack. Newspapers outline disaster procedures. In some of the city's fine residential areas, the , army is digging emplace ments for giant anti-aircraft guns. The large industrial plants have their own civil defense of ficers their aircraft spotters and fire wardens. Police are drilled in disaster duties. Hospi tals and doctors have their plans for taking care of the injured. However, men still work at peace, though there is prepara tion for the worst. New televi sion stations are only a few months away. Men commute to their jobs and plan summer, va cations. The police still give speeding tickets on Aurora Ave. thoroughfare. Some folks have moved to the outskirts of Seattle, or even to the beautiful islands in Puget Sound, but most cannot and will not even try to get away from the target area. They live with the threat of the great mush room cloud in the back of their minds but they laugh and joke and gripe the same. Takes It In Stride The children play in city wad ing pools and swim in the green lakes which dot the residential hillsides. A technical executive for Boe ing Aircraft Co. was transferred here recently from Wichita, Kan. His co-workers asked how it felt to move from the com paratively safe middle-west to a plant which would be one of the first targets of an enemy. "It gives you a funny feeling at first," he said. "The family talked it over thoroughly when we heard about it . . . but it isn't a big topic around the house any more. Anyway ..." He shrugged his shoulders and grinned. The U.S. Constitution was signed on Sept. 17, 1787. Salem (U.R) Six of the 28 employment offices in Oregon report shortages of farm labor as the peak of the late harvest sea son approaches., The State Unemployment Compensation ; Commission said Saturday that at least three oth er offices were on the verge of asking for outside help. Reports indicated about 2,250 additional bean and prune pickers now needed and probably more be fore the end of the month, the commission said. Five Areas Listed . Five areas in western Oregon list demands for bean workers. They were: Salem 1,000; Eugene 400; Hillsboro and Lebanon 300 each; and McMinnville 100. Housing was fairly well taken but on-farm cabins and shelters usually are available for family groups. Early hops were slated to be picked beginning August 18 in Marion and Polk counties. About 1,500 pickers will be needed for apples and thousands more for the late crop starting about Sept. 1. Pear Harvest Near Full scale Bartlett pear pick ing is expected to get under way in the Medford and Hood River areas during the coming week, lasting well into September when apples will be ready. Employment generally in Ore gon was running slightly ahead of last year, the commission said, but the number of jobseekers also is somewhat higher. Con struction and food processing were a little behind 1951 sum mer highs, but lumber and most other groups were gaining. Non farm workers were estimated at 473.200 in mid-July as compared with 467,800 a year before. Surveying Mistake Brings Transaction Barberton, O. (U.R) A sur veying miscalculation brought about the smallest, real estate transaction in this town's history. The new $700,000 city hall was ready to go up when it came to the attention of engineers that a one-inch snaee would hp left between the structure and the Masonic Temple next door. It was concluded that if ro'n- structjon were allowed to pro ceed, the gap according to Mayor Theodore T. Parlrpr. "wnnlH simply gather moisture and dirt, not to mention the creation of an architectural oddity. To solve the dilemma, the city arranged to buy the one-inch strip for $1 to permit the new cuy nan to rest tignt against the temple. WSB Approves Pay Boost For Steel Fabricators Washington (U.R) The Wage Stabilization Board has approved a 16-cent hourly wage boost for steel fabricating plant workers who can prove their wages generally parallel those of basic steel workers. The WSB order allows fabri eating plant workers to bargain for the same 16-cent straight wage increase won recently by the CIO United Steelworkers in the basic steel industry. Fringe benefits, which made up the re mainder of the 21-cent package in the steel agreement, will be handled separately, the WSB an nounced.
