bert, a member of the firm, said
one truck was lost and other

McKay Reports on
Use of Sea Water
Washington U.P.) Secre
tary of Interior Douglas McKay
said today sea water can be con
verted to drinking water at a
cost comparable to the highest
present costs of purifying ordin
ary municipal water.
He told President .Eisenhower
and Congress in his annual re
port that progress in sea water
conversion justifies increased re
search. Congress has authorized 10
million dollars for a 14-year re
search program. The Interior De
partment asked for 5600,000
more for the next fiscal year.
A cheap saline water conver
sion method would play a large
role in solving the nation's grow
ing water shortage. Mr. Eisen
hower reported to Congress yes
terday that the nation 'by 1975
will need 150 billion more gal
lons of water daily than it is
now using.
McKay said new processes for
converting sea water on a large
scale are approaching the maxi
mum cost of purifying munici
pal water and are comparable
to industrial water costs.
McKay said experiments are
being conducted on several dif
ferent new processes. He said
progress is being made in each
of the different methods.
Jackson Warns
On Soviet Missile
Washington (U.R) Sen.
Henry M. Jackson (D-Wash.),
warned today that Russia prob
ably will fire a ballistic missile
with a 1,500-mile range before
ths end of the year.
Although such a missile would
not be able to' hit the United
States Jackson said, it "would
destroy our greatest single ad
vantage in the contest for air
atomic supremeaey, our system
of advanced overseas air bases."
Mere possession of such a mis
sile, the senator said, "will per
mit the Kremlin to blackmail our
allies within its range into neu
trality or worse. Before the
year's end, the device of ballis
tic blackmail may be added to
the Soviet arsenal of conquest."
Jackson, a member of the sen
ate Armed Services Committee
and chairman of the Atomic En
ergy Military Applications Sub
committee, made the statements
in a speech before the National
Security and Foreign Relations
Commissions of the American
Legion.
Chamber President
Sees Good Business
Portland (U.R) The pres
ident of the U. S. Chamber of
Commerce says he sees no rea
son why business shouldn't be
as good in 1956 as it was last
year.
Boyd Campbell of Jackson,
Miss., a Portland visitor yester
day, said their might be some
uncertainty because of the gen
eral elections coming up. But he
said that the last two general
elections had no appreciable ef
fect on business activity.
Campbell also said conditions
in Mississippi were a long ways
from being as bad as pictured in
a recent report by Rep. Edith
Green (D-Ore.). He said it was
an accepted fact that a visitor to
any community in America us
ually finds evidence of that
which is sought. He cited buil
dings, schools, playgrounds and
other modern facilities built for
exclusive use of colored people
at the cost "of many millions of
dollars."
Auditorium Site
Withstands Test
Portland (U.R) The Port
land Exposition-Recreation com
mission decision favoring the
South Auditorium site with
stood its first legal test yester
day. Circuit- Judge Martin W.
Hawkins sustained the city's de
murrer which threw out of court
efforts to half development of
the site.
The decision favoring the
west side location for construc
tion of the eight million dollar
center had been challenged by
several eastside interests. The
court test was a prelude to an
effort to get a measure on the
ballot' which would restrict lo
cation of the center to a location
on the east-side.

COLLECTION OF WAGES
Workers sometimes have
employment situations in
in which they cannot obtain
earned wages. Recourse for
obtaining these wage pay
ments is provided under Ore
gon labor laws. A few siiua
ations of this kind are brought
out in these questions.
Q. I cannot collect wages from
my last employer. Can the Bu
reau of Labor help?
A. The labor commissioner is
authorized to assist employees
in collection of delinquent wages
earned for personal services.
Such claims are taken on assign
ment for collection by the Bu
reau of Labor when evidence of
unpaid wages is presented by
the claimant.
Q. Our work crew had a con
tract with a construction firm in
1954 that provided for overtime
pay. We never did get the over
time. Can it be collected now?
A. The statute of limitations
outlaws this claim. All actions
for overtime pay must be com
menced within one year under
Oregon law.
Q. I worked at falling- and
bucking for a logger who didn't
pay me. Can I file a lien on the
logs?
A. Your labor in securing the
timber gives you a lien right on
the logs you cut during the pre
vious six months to filing of such
claim. Your lien claim must be
filed within 30 days after ceasing
the work.
If you have a question, you
may write Commissioner Nor
man O. Nilsen, State Bureau of
Labor, Salem, Ore.
Farm Sales Favored
To Unfriendly Lands
Los Angeles (U.P.) Secretary
of Agriculture Ezra T. Benson
yesterday .favored the sale of
surplus U. S. farm commodities
to "other than friendly coun
tries" to help relieve the de
cline in the national farm in
come. ,
"We (the administration) urge
that sales of surplus agricultur
al commodities to other than
friendly countries be permitted
under conditions that protect
our national interests," Benson
told the National Council of
Farmer Cooperatives convention
here yesterday.
Benson said such a program
of sale or barter is necessary to
help reduce domestic surpluses
which, he estimated, reduced
farm income by more than $2,
000,000,000 last year. Without
surpluses, Benson said, farm in
come today might have been 10
per cent higher.
