Here Double 1953 OSES Head Says Twice as many jobs' are avail- able in the Rogue river, valley this . month as . compared with January, 1954, according to John J. Patton, manager of the state , employment office here. ' Patton, speaking yesterday at the -roundtable noon luncheon of the Chamber of Commerce in the Jackson ,hoteI, said January is proving to be one of the best winter months in a long time.'.. ' He explained that the valley is "kind of reaping the benefit of the recent lumber strike, which created a shortage of fir and raised the prices." k Smaller Shutdown .- The speaker said that a trend of a smaller seasonal shutdown - in the valley's industry is appar ent from unemployment figures. Previously seasonal layoffs last ed ' from November, through March, he continued, which has now been largely limited to two months, January and February. He added that the fruit gift box situation has helped this change, as well as other factors. ;- : He stated that the increasing stability of the local ' lumber operation has resulted in larger operations, : in place of many small sawmills. Even though un employment dropped by 900 in the lumber industry in 1952-53, Patton reported that the em ployment in the ' wholesale in-, dustry rose by 300, thus offset ting the fewer lumber employees to a considerable degree. - . ,. . He predicted a continued pop ulation growth and cited -the continual stream of mail from all over the : United ; States in quiring about job opportunities.

Murray D-Mpnt ' of the Senate committee - both said the principal question, to be decided is whether hearings on statehood are needed and, if so, what they should cover. Both take the view that state hood has been amply debated in the past and that committee ac tion should be speedy.

It is exactly five years and 20 days since President - Truman set forth his original Formosa policy.' He announced on Jan. 5, 1950, that the United States would take no action, direct or indirect, to defend Chiang Kai shek's Nationalists on Formosa. This surprise announcement shocked congressional Republi cans to instant protest. It came three days after former Presi dent - Hoover and the late Sen. Robert A.
