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.

Portland Boy
To Be Deported
Portland (U.R) The United
States Immigration Service said
yesterday that 31-year-old Lee
Fung Yew, a student at Port
land's Hosford school, must re
turn to Communist China.
Roy Norene, immigration of
ficer here, said the immigration
board of appeals upheld the
ruling of Luois Hafferman, spe
cial inquiry officer in Portland
for the service.
Hafferman ruled that Mr. and
Mrs. Lee Dean Hem, of 1916
Southeast 20th Avenue Port
land, are not the boy's parents.
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.
Norene said he would imme
diately apply for a passport to
deport the boy.

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.
