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

"Never Retire"

no Intention of retiring.

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.

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
