FOURTEEN -MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, September 8, 19SS East Coast Longshoremen Seek Conference With Governors to Air Union Grievances Strike Threatens To Reach Other "Eastern Ports New York (U.R) The Inde pendent International Long shoremen's Association threaten ed today to keep the Port of New York closed until the gov ernors of New York and New Jersey agree to hear the un- ion's grievances. The strike threatened to spread to Atlantic and Gulf Coast ports. All civilian piers in the na- . tion's largest port were idled for the second day as longshore Den met in protest meeting against the "oppressive" oper ations of the Bi-State Waterfront Commission. The commission vas set up two years ago to po lice a cleanup of dock rack eteering. Hiring At Issue The union wants to win back control of waterfront hiring. The commission has charged the ILA wants to wreck the policing agency. Longshoremen in Baltimore joined the walkout in sympathy today and the Port of Boston was scheduled to be shut down by a sympathy protest meeting ILA President William Bradley has threatened to spread the stoppage from Nova Scotia to Texas if his demands of the two state governments are not met. "The governors of two states can't sit idly by and not meet with the representatives of 30,- 000 men," Bradley told a cheer ing crowd of 4000 dock workers. "Until they do meet, and sit down with us, I, at this time, will not recommend that you go back to work," Bradley said. Workers Applaud The statement was greeted with wild applauce, cheers and foot stamping. Bradley left the hall to ans wer a subpoena to appear before the commission. Justice S. Samuel Di Falco is sued the temporary restraining order Wednesday nigh)t outlaw ing the walkout and ordering the men to return to their jobs. The order was handed down at the request of the 170 ship ping companies in the New York shipping" Assn.

Grievances With Commission ; ILA officials admitted their . grievances were not with ship : ping . companies but with the New York-New Jersey Water front Commission. Bradley indicated his men would not return to work un less fhe governors of the two states appointed an impartial public committee to investigate their grievances against the commissio. Both Gov. Averill Harriman 6f New York and Gov. Robert B. Meyner of New Jersey thus far have refused to act on the Request. Views of Mt.

Mas of m motorlog appearing " Anfmt a in Northwest rot mncnslne f Tmm Snndny Ora-g-oniu. It is the iMt of u u nasJ series sponsored Jointly by The Oregonfan nd the Oregon Stnte Motor associa tion. Br JOHX A. DTFRDORFT ' sun Writer, The Orecoruea The Hood River Indians called it E-e-kwahl-a-mat-yam-ishkt. No better reason could be ad vanced for the present name of Lost lake, pronounceable if not original. The lake, nestled in the forest at 3140-feet elevation northwest of Mt Hood and 83 miles from Portland, was the destination of an Oregonian-Oregon State Motor association motorlog re cently, and the trip was proof that the lost has been found. Eut there is good reason for that to be the case. The 1955 motorlog travelers can echo the opinions of their predecessors by almost exactly three quar ters of a century the opinions of the first party of white men to trek into Lost lake. Organized and led by K. L. Smith of Hood River, the group of 12 men reached the lake Au gust 2L 1880, after a search prolonged into four days by a pall of forest fire smoke, mak ing visibility difficult, and other hardships. Dr. Thomas Lamb Eliot, one of the 12, wrote in The Oregonian, August 27, 1880: Trek Boosted for- Campers "The trip was a very enjoy able one, and possesses great Interest for those who relish camp life and fairly rough trav eling." Seventy-five years later, ex actly the same can be said of the motorlog expedition into mm '". u.muiuh mmmimmmmum 1 Vista of SR. Hood from north shore of Lost lake Is a scene that never grows dull.

However, the drive isn't so rugged as misht be in dicated by complaints heard after a July 17 caravan of 1000 cars crossed Lolo pass road, which joins the Lost lake road seven miles below the lake. True, the last 13 of the 27 miles from Hood River to Lost lake are unpaved, but they were freshly graded following pro tests from members of the Lolo caravan. From the time the waters first became visible through the trees as our white motorlog Ford neared its destination, we were constantly aware that this was a remarkable lake. It's not so much remarkable for its color, clarity and size all notable as for the spectacle of Mt Hood rearing up to the southwest From an observation point on the lake's north shore, the mountain, far across and above the waters, is framed by stately evergreens. Strung out along the north and east shores of the lake, a forest service camp offers 55 campsites, 25 picnic units, 80 tables, 55 stoves or fireplaces, piped water and nine toilets. Mt Hood national forest offi cials consider Lost lake forest camp one of the most over crowded in their jurisdiction. Much as they would like to ex pand it however, there isn't enough money available for rec reational areas to do more than limited rehabilitation of the ex isting facilities. Visitors who prefer their ac commodations less primitive will find a genial welcome from Mr. and Mrs. Henry Petterson at the Lost lake resort, operating since 1932 and under present management for eight years. The resort has seven cabins renting at an average of ?1 per person. Guests provide their own bedding and dishes. Two of the cabins have fireplaces. Firewood Provided in Cabins The Pettersons supply fire wood, and water is piped to the grounds, although not into the cabins individually. The resort proprietors have 40 rowboats and six canoes to rent, at hourly rates of 40 cents on week ends and holidays and 75 cents per hour for canoes. And on week days a boat can be had for $2 all day. All season long the boats are popular with anglers striving to hook some of the 10,000 eastern brook, German brown and rain bow trout with which the lake was stocked. To savor the Lost lake coun try to the fullest though, take to the trails. An easy 3 -mile hike circles the lake, and a 2- mile path climbs 1320 feet up to the top of Lost lake butte, site of a forest service fire look out manned this summer by Gene Hatfield, June graduate of Wy'east high . school and Parkdale resident Hatfield welcomes visitors to his aerie commanding a view of the Cascade peaks of Hood, Jefferson, St Helens, Rainier and Adams, with Lost lake shimmering at the foot of the butte. Also in plain view from the lookout is winding Lolo pass road, linking Zigzag with Hood River, which the forest servioa promises to open late this fall. . Change from Military Home Idea Scheduled At Camp White Center Criminologist Warns On Discipline Lack Berkeley, Calif. 4U.R) A Uni versity of California criminolo gist has come out. for more dis- ' cipline of children even though . he admits it may breed more neurotics. Dr. Douglas M. Kelley is es pecially critical of some follow ers of the Austrian father of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud, who advocate complete lack of discipline training. Even though strict training at " home might produce more com pulsive personalities, Kelley in sisted it would produce fewer juvenile delinquents and crimi- nal nsvehorjaths. - Complete ack of discipline, Kelley said, may perpetuate im mature childhood b e h a v i or. Suclvimmaturity consists of ex treme self -centereaness, confu sion of day-dreams with reality, emotional volatility and an in ability to make critical evalua tions. ' . Kelley said these patterns" are normal in a young child but dangerous in adolescents - and adults. ,The criminologist has called for a middle ground be tween the "old fashioned strait jacket" discipline and the ex treme "permissiveness" that im pedes the learning of self-control.

Camp White Transition from the -military home idea to a pro gram of "planned living" to re habilitate aging and aged veter ans was made public today in a review of a new order announ ced by Manager E. K. Ricker, of the Veterans Administration Domiciliary Center here. The Camp White domiciliary is one of the 17 similar centers in the.VA affected by the new rulings prepared at the central office in Washington, D. C. The announcement states "The heart of the program is an activity planning board which will draft an individual plan for each member. The plan will pro vide for constructive effort by the member toward his own maintenance and participation in social and organized recreation activities. Supplements Car "This daily plan of living will be based upon a full medical evaluation and : will be supple mentary to prescribed medical care by contributing to medical and social rehabilitation objectives. "The medical evaluation will have a two-fold purpose: '(1) to determine the need of a health maintenance program for each member so as to prevent or re tard physical or mental deterior ation which would require more intensive medical care or hos pitalization later on, and (2) to establish the physical and men tal capacity of each member for constructive assignments. "For certain selected mem bers, VA paid employment will be provided primarily as a part of a rehabilitation program for building self-reliance. VA paid members will be encouraged to apply for member jobs in which they have had previous exper ience or for which they may be come qualified through train ing. ' May Be Employed by VA When they are sufficiently rehabilitated to leave the domic- iliaries as members, they may be employed by VA as regular civ il service employees if they qual ify, or they may seek employ ment elsewhere with the assis tance of the U. S. and State em ployment services. "As a part of the new pro gram, VA is discontinuing all military terminology in connec tion with domiciliary activities because it no longer applies. Un der this change, barracks will become buildings, companies will become sections, company commanders will become section leaders and sick call will become the domiciliary clinic. "The new program is describ ed by the VA as "another phase of the many-sided scientific at tack on the growing problem of providing the type of medical and domiciliary care for aging and aged veterans that will best enable them to lead useful, hap py lives, with the maximum free dom from hospitalization." Domiciliary members, it is stated, are disabled veterans who are so incapacitated they are unable to earn a living, but do not require full-time nursing or hospital care. Most domiciliary members are in the older age brackets. , The threefold objectives are summarized as follows: 1. To provide a place where eligible disabled veterans can live under conditions which will promote their health and con tentment. i 2. To furnish authorized ar ticles and services which they are unable to provide for them selves, including necessary med ical care and hospitalization. 3. To institute rehabilitation measures so as to enable each disabled veteran to return to his community, or, where this is not possible, to function at maximum capacity in domiciliary status.

(U.R) A Mex ican geologist said today he saw no immediate danger of a ma jor volcano erupting from fis sures and geysers found in a cot ton field 14 miles below the U. S. border. Geologist Miguel Martinez, a leading volcanologist from the University of Mexico, inspected the cotton field yesterday and said it would take "a good sized earthquake" to stir the geysers into "volcanic action." He confirmed, however, that the area is honeycombed with below surface pressures which caused the ground breaks. The fissures, which are spewing forth mud, steam and sulphur, first were noticed last week end. They are accompanied by sub terranean rumblings.
