EIGHT MEDFORD (OMCOK) MAE. TRUTH'S TrUif, Mr 11. HSl General Motors Shutdown Idles About 500,000 Detroit (U.R) A shutdown of all General Motors automotive assembly operations and layoffs by other auto firms today idled about a half-million workers. The sprawling GM organiza tion said it would halt assem blies for today only, giving a "vacation" to more than 390,000 hourly-rated workers. A GM spokesman sajd this week's pro duction was cut to four days "to balance production with current customer demand." Full production will be re sumed Monday, he added. The GM cutback followed an estimate by the trade publica tion Automotive News that this week's car production would be the lowest in the nation of 1956. The cutback was expected to lower the estimate of 111,230 units even further. Poor Sales Blamed Poor sales of new cars were blamed for the GM cutback and those by Ford and Chrysler, the other members of the auto in dustry's "Big Three." The United Auto Workers Un ion estimated that more than 123,000 auto workers were laid off "indefinitely." UAW Presi dent Walter P. Reuther asked for joint labor-management con ferences to solve what he called an "alarming" rate of unemploy ment in both the auto and farm Implement industries. Chrysler has idled 6,200 work ers indefinitely at plants here and in Evansville, Ind., since Reuther's proposal and laid off 6,500 others for two days in Detroit. DOG REPELLENT WANTED Washington (U.R) So many postmen have been bitten by dogs in the past year that the Post Office Department is look ing for "an effective dog repel lent" for letter carriers and toy ing with the idea of padding the legs of postmen's pants.

Gnest Columnist F. Hngh Herbert discusses his problems with the censor. By F. HUGH. HERBERT Written for the United Press Hollywood 0J.R) Some 18 months ago, when I bought the movie rights to "The Little Hut," the consensus of opinion among those1 in the industry, who were familiar 'with the plays,- was that I must be absolutely nuts. There was a play which had been running five years in Lon don, and nearly seven years in Paris, and which had earned for itself the reputation for being roughly twice as risque as the Folies Bergere. Following, as it did, on the heels of the controversy which had raged about my play and motion picture "The Moon Is Blue" (which was denied a seal of approval) my purchase of "The Little Hut" spurred my friends to offer me bets of 10-1 that I could never in a million years get away with this one. Apprehensions Justified To a certain extent, these ap prehensions were justifiable. The basic situation of the play is fun ny but obviously highly censor able. It is a story of three people the traditional triangle, namely husband, wife and lover who are wrecked on a desert island, and who resolve their problems by working out a design for tropical-island ; living whereby the wife will be shared jointly, dur ing alternating weeks by the two gentlemen involved. Subsequent ly a handsome young native chieftain shows up, and, in effect, declares himself in on this cozy arrangement. The problem confronting me was simple, yet formidable: How to retain all the fun and provoc ative qualities which had made "The Little Hut" internationally famous, and yet never overstep the bounds of good taste. In other words, how do you juggle husband, wife, loyer a tropical island, a native chief, the minimum of clothing, a great deal of human nature (sex) and yet keep it clean as a hound's tooth? "Well it can be done. Some months from now you're going to see Ava Gardner as the wife, Morse's Political Switch Defended Portland (U.R) Sen. Wayne Morse's switch to the Democratic party was defended here last night ..by Maurine Neuberger, wife of Sen. Richard L. Neuberg er (D-Ore.) . Mrs. Neuberger, in a televis ion broadcast, said "many great Americans have changed politi cal' affiliations, including Abra ham Lincoln, Wendell Willkie and Theodore Roosevelt." She added that "Sir Winston Churchill was first lord of the admiralty as a Liberal party member in England, and then became prime minister as a Con servative ." ' Stewart Granger as the husband, and David Niven as the lover. And in a nice little hut we're going to build for them on a real tropical island. I don't believe one laugh from the play has been lost in the transition; I believe many have been added. Meanwhile, locked in my safety deposit box, I have a precious letter from the Motion Picture Producers Association, in which they approve my script across the board. They even passed a scene which includes Ava in a bikini! Floods Threaten ichiqan Area By UNITED PRESS Flood waters rolled across Michigan farmlands today and posed a serious threat to a heavily-populated six-county area. The 'flooding spring rains were already blamed for three deaths and millions of dollars worth of property damage in southern Michigan. They were the byproducts of a deadlocked battle between masses of warm and cold air in the nation's midsection. The conflict set off tornadoes in Nebraska and Kansas Thursday night, along with 100-mile-per-hour windstorms and heavy hail. Freight Cars Overturned The twisters touched ground at Juniata, Neb., and near Cas sody in Kansas. At Juniata the corkscrew winds overturned four freight cars and another storm, described as a possible twister, demolished a grandstand at Arlington, Neb. The twisters caused little dam age in Kansas, although ripping winds toppled trees at Lyons. A funnel was sighted over Iola, but apparently ' did not touch ground. There was no letup in sight in Michigan and the U.S. Weath er Bureau warned floods could strike within hours in the basins of the Grand, Flint, Shiawassee and Red Cedar rivers. The threatened area included cities and farmlands from Grand Rapids to Flint, the state's two largest cities outside Detroit. Eisenhower To Attend Meeting in Panama Washington U.R) Presi dent Eisenhower today formally accepted an invitation to attend a meeting of the 21 American states at,. Panama Juhe 25-26. The President's formal deci sion to attend the meeting was sent to Ricardo M. Arias Espi nosa, president of Panama. The announcement was made by the White House. . Mr. Eisenhower will meet at Panama City with the presidents of the 20 other American repub lics to commemorate the 130th anniversary of the first Congress of Panama. The Congress was called in 1826 by Simon Boli var. . Pear Bureau lo . Observe Silver Anniversary Soon Portland A banquet at the Multnomah hotel here May 23 will open the silver anniversary two-day meeting of the Oregon-Washington-C alifornia Pear bureau. i-'The bureau was organized in 1931 by growers from Oregon and Washington. California later joined the organization, purpose of which is to promote sale of pears throughout the United States and foreign countries. Among the first trustees were David H. Holmes Sr., ' R. R. Reter, D. R. Wood and Paul A. Scherer, all of Medford, and H. Van Hoevenberg of Gold Hill. Edwin' R. Pooley of Hood River and one . of the first trustees is president of the or ganization. - The bureau estimates that the 1956 crop should be more than 5,000,000 boxes, compared to the 10-year average of 4,717,428 boxes. The Medford area pro duces the largest number of boxes of five main areas within the bureau. The 10-year average for the Medford area is 1,527, 615 boxes. Other areas include Mid-Columbia, 1,406,523; Wenatchee, 712,094; Yakima, 562,567; and California, 508,629 boxes. Fig ures are on a 10-year average. The winter pear industry, the bureau said, brought an average return of $4.62 per box, or more than $21,000,000, into the Pa cific coast area during 1955. Rubber Plantation' Workers Plan Strike Kuala Lumpur, Malaya (U.R) Some 230,000 rubber plantation workers prepared to go on strike today to support their demands for wage increases.
