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. The employers
also sought $10,000,000 damages
from the clock union, charging
the walkout violates the cur
rent union-management contract.
A hearing on the case was
scheduled for Friday.
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.

' 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

Lost lake. 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

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. .

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.

No Danger Seen
In Mexico Eruption
Mexicali, Mex. (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.
