TEW MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday, 19SS Unemployment in Oregon Declines Over Last Year Salem (U.R) Unemployment dropped 12,000 during May to 27,700 nearly 5000 lower than a year ago, according the State U n employment Compensation Most of the decrease came from Portland and- western Oregon timber areas. But 17 of the 26 local offices reported fewer persons actively seeking jobs than a year ago. 1 Most of the districts with a larger surplus of labor than in 1954 were in eastern Oregon, including Baker, Bend, La Grande Milton Freewater and Ontario. Unemployment was more than cut in half last month in Toledo, Lebanon and Roseburg but the total was higher than a year ago. Unfilled job openings were strongly upward with 1632 against 1274 last year and 1061 on May 1. Much of the increase came in unskilled lumbering operations while the opport- unties for women accounted for more than half of the total The late season held back the usual pick-up in 'construction, farming and food processing. Many, agriculture areas were expecting a shortage of harvest workers when berries, cherries . and peas ripen over the next few weeks. But some offices re ported a recent influx of job- seekers from the South that may meet the rising demand. Insured unemployment also dropped sharply during May with the number of weekly claimants cut pearly in two from 20,389 to 10,699 in the past four weeks. Payments were $1,342,546, about 34 per cent lower than in April, 1955, but not quite seven per cent under a year ago. For 11 months of the bene fit year which ends June 30, payments reached $19,616,014, about 12 per cent less than at this time in 1954. Supplement arg benefits to veterans and federal employes both paid from reimbursable funds - have been $1,215,180, slightly higher than a year ago. STANDING ON parade ground at U. S.

They had claimed that he was their natural son, born in Can ton, China, and that since they are citizens, he is, too. However, medical testimony said blod tests proved the boy was not theirs.

Comment On This and That By HARMAN W. NICHOLS Unfed Pros Pvtafe Writer Herman Nichols Washington (U.P.) I was fingering through the index file in the main reading room of the Library of Congress when I came upon something inte- W&LJ i resting. f JaTlrff 1 Listed with Mlr' 3 a namnhlet titled "How To Conquer Texas Before Texas Conquers Us." That one had to be looked up. The "delay," however, turned out to be considerable. I scrib bled the index number, F-390, H-90, and went up to the desk. The pleasant little girl said to sit down over there; the search would take about 15 minutes. Half an hour later she sent a small boy over to tell me she was sorry, but that the thing about conquering Texas was on file in the Thomas Jelferson room in the library annex, across the street and up five flights. Rare Book Room I filled out another card on F-390, H-91, and was assigned to desk 521. This one also took half an hour and volume after "volume rolled past on the little escalator from the stacks down in the cellar, but nary a line from Texas. A fellow called me over and said he, too, was sorry, but that the prose I was after was on file in the rare book room, over in the main library, down five flights, across the street and iip a flight, within a few feet of where I started. The rare book room is re mindful of a courtroom, except it is shut off with plush covered ropes, hooked onto brass posts. I unbuckled a rope and approach ed the only person in the room. I handed him my Jefferson room slip on Texas. He said he would be glad to let me see the volume if I would go back through the ropes and fill out a form. It took a bit of filling. Name, date of birth, office address and phone number, home address and phone number, next of kin, rea son for wanting the book, signature. At length the atteneiant return ed, assigned me to a table, and flicked on the lamp. I glanced at the title and it was what I had been waiting for. The author was not identified, but the pamphlet was published in 1845 by Boston Redding and Company, 8 State St.', Boston. Price 3 cents. The little book of 13 pages didn't get very far except to let folks know that New England was pretty stirred up about the question of slavery. "Massachusetts and New Eng land resolved not to withdraw from the Union," the writer stat ed. "Good men and true now have to labor in and on Texas to avert danger of annexation . . . We may not, we ought not to leave Texas the way it is." That was about it on con quering Texas. Looking for Card I started to copy down part of the boklet. There was a tap on my shoulder. "You forgot to show me your identification," the attendant said. I came up with an honorary card in the Amalgamated Broth erhood of Brandy Tasters, Cog nac, France, Local. That would n't do. After a bit of fishing through such cards as member of the Loyal Order of the Ugly Mugs and Cigar Smokers United, I finally found my congressional card. That would do. But the ball point pen I -was using would not. "Take this pencil," the man said. "A drop of ink can ruin a priceless document like "How To Conquer Texas Before Texas Conquers Us'." Ruling Sought on Natural Gas Grant Ontario (U.R) President H. K. Riddle of the Oroco Oil and Gas Company here will, meet with Idaho Gov. Robert Smylie today to ask for clarification of a public utilities commission grant to Idaho Natural Gas Com pany. : -, ' . - Riddle said local distributors in Idaho and Oregon were inte rested in finding out if the grant to Idaho Gas was exclusive. If so, it would mean local gas could not be distributed if and when it was found in commercial quan tities, he said. Extensive explorations for eaa and oil have been underway in Idaho and Malheur county, Ore., recently. Riddle will be accomnanied by Payette, Ida., attorney Vernon Daniel to the meeting with the governor. The Idaho public util ities chairman will also be present. Hiss Fined $3 for Playing Ball in Park New York (U.R Alger Hiss paid a S3 fine in magis trates coust today for playing ball ia Washington Square park. - Hiss, former state depart ment employee who was re leased from federal prison last year after serving a sen tence for perjury, said he and his 13-year-old son and a friend were tossing a baseball back and forth in the park when he was arrested. "We've been ' tossing balls there for years," Hiss said, "I had no idea it was prohibited." Liquor Commissioners Talk Marked Glasses Portland (U.R) Oregon State liquor commissioners will make no changes in rulings cov ering liquor advertising until they decide whether to permit the sale of draft beer in crested glasses. ' Use of glasses with trade marks on them is now prohibit ed. Both Oregon and Washing ton breweries oppose their in troduction. Liquor distributors have ar gued that the only way to Ident ity their tap beer is with a crest ed glass. The question-was put over until the July commission meeting.
