Housing Discussion Slated at Ashland Ashland Ashland residents now renting or wishing to rent to college students have been in vited to attend a meeting Mon- day, June 4, at 3:00 p.m. in the living room of Susanne Homes .hall, women's dormitory at Southern Oregon college. The meeting, according to Hal Cloer, dean of men, will be informal. Housing needs for future years will be discussed in the light of the Impending shortage of hous ing for non-local college stu dents. Cloer explained that the need was of an extremely crucial nature in that the men's dormitory at the college has been filled all year and that all new students wishing to obtain adequate housing facilities had been forced to seek it from pri vate citizens. The housing shortage, as point ed out by Cloer, is expected to grow even more acute, and be cause the college dormitories can no longer absorb any in creased demand, it is predicted that the numbers of students in need of off-campus housing next fall will jump by at least 40 per cent. With, no new construction of dormitories scheduled to begin before 1957, the problem it was explained, might be partially solved by the meeting, and by attempting to plan a system whereby a current list ing of off-campus housing for students could be maintained. Strike Forces Delay In Burial Services At San Francisco The worst theater fire in his tory occurred at Canton, China May 25. 1845 when 1,670 per sons perished. Second worst oc curred at St. Petersburg, Russia, Feb. 14, 1836, with loss of 800 lives. Dental Tradition Says: "Never Retire" I hove never done better work than now and I have no Intention of retiring. Dr. S. Ralph Dippel, D.M.D. San Francisco (U P.; Owner embalmers worked in teams in the city's mortuaries today to handle normal mortality rates suddenly made heavy by a walk out of licensed embalmers. Union disputes have all but sealed off the city's burial grounds and stripped the staffs of half the town's mortuaries. More than 200 bodies are stored in some 40 funeral homes with an estimated daily inflow of an additional 20 bodies to add to the uncomfortable total. At one struck mortuary, a be reaved family had to push its way yesterday through a picket line which circled the funeral party in protest of the use of non-union labor. None of the dead is getting more than half a funeral these days. At the end of the customary chapel ceremony, mourners see the coffin returned to the back room of the funeral home to await the end of the grave-dig gers strike before burial. Cemetery workers struck two religious graveyards two weeks ago, in support of demands for unemployment c o m p e n sation and disability benefits, both benefits granted to workers at non-sectarian resting places. The cemeteries association im mediately called a lockout at nine other graveyards on the grounds, "a strike against one is a strike against all." The result is that the suburban Colma area, Francisco's "city of the dead," has become a dead city. Wednesday the situation worsened as the professional embalmers union called a strike against 21 funeral homes, all members of the Funeral Direc tors of San Francisco, Inc., who handle about 60 per cent of the town's mortalities. Both sides professed to be con cerned seriously about the effect the strike-lockouts will have on public opinion. Both sides claim the public's support. And both sides are not presently willing to budge. The real bone of contention embalmers beside a $25 monthly pay boost to S460, is a union de mand to carry out receiving duties, flower arrangements, wake attendance, and handling of details. Jerome J. Cahill, representing the directors, said the demands in effect would create more jobs for union members and would oust non-union members. between the morticians and the counts." Trumans To Visit Italy Hill Towns Rome CU.R) Former Presi dent Harry S. Truman turned from the beaches and headed to wards Italy's famed hill towns today following the trail of thousands; of American tourists. Mr. Truman and his wife planned to drive to Assisi, the quiet world-famous home of St. Francis, to visit the renowned Franciscan monastery. Mr. Truman disclosed for the first time Thursday night that he and Pope Pius XII discussed diplomatic relations between the United States and the Vatican in their 30 minute talk Sunday. "I've always been of the opinion there should be diplo matic relations with the Vati can," he said. "It's not a religious matter at all but a 'diplomatic one." Truman also touched on an other controversial matter Thursday night, the World War II Allied invasions at Salerno and Anzio. .He was quoted as saying Tues day that some "squirrel-headed general" selected the invasidn sites which took a heavy toll of Allied lives. The following day he denied he made the remark. When he was questioned further Thursday night by re porters accompanying him on a tour of the Pontifical North American College after a visit to St. Peter's Basilica, he said Sa lerno and Anzio won their ob jectives, "and that's what Air Force Reserve To Hold Day-Long Conference Sunday About 60 Air Force reservists are expected to attend a one-day conference of the 9091st air re- Friday.
