Last Rites Thursday For Harry Lundeberg, Head of Seamen Union San Francisco (U.R; Funeral ervices will be held here Thurs day for Harry Lundeberg, fight ing leader of the Sailors Union of the Pacific who died Monday of heart attack. He was 55. Lundeberg succumbed at Pen insula Hospital in nearby Bur lingame. He entered the hospital on Jan. 20 after an initial mild seizure. He appeared to 'be getting better when he suffered a fatal attack. Lundeberg's death touched off a flood of tributes from govern ment officials and leaders of labor and industry. Secretary of Labor James P. Mitchell said Lundeberg "de voted a lifetime to improving conditions for seamen." Gov. Goodwin J. Knight of California said he was a "courageous lead er" of organized labor. Haled Communism C. J. Haggerty, secretary of the California State Federation of Labor, said there was a time "when he alone stood between the nation and Soviet power in American waters." He was re ferring to Lundeberg's abiding hatred of Communism and his lifelong attempts to exterminate it from America's maritime in dustry. George Killion, president of American President Lines, said Lundeberg was the "finest kind" of labor leader. He said when ever Lundeberg gave his word, "he kept it to the letter." At the time of his death, Lundeberg was secretary treas urer of the Sailors Union of the Pacific, the top job in that union. He also served as president of the 100.000-member Seafar ers International Union of North America, and head of the 250,-000-member AFL-CIO Maritime Trades Department. He was also a vice president of the Cali fornia AFL. Port Agents Meet Port agents of the SUP were called in from all parts of the ' country to discuss the problems arising from Lundeberg's death. There was some speculation that Lundeberg's job might go to Morris Weisberger, New York port agent for the SUP. Weis berger was expected to fly here for the meeting of the port agents. A native of Norway, Lunde berg rose to prominence in the SUP during the San Francisco waterfront strike in 1934. He became secretary - treasurer in 1936, succeeding the late An drew Furuseth. His career was marked not only by a hatred of Communism HOW "1 got the (g) 'De 'Leigh HARRY LUNDEBERG Hated Communism but also by a bitter feud with Harry Bridges, fiery president of the International Longshore men's and Warehousemen's Un ion. Lundeberg had intended this week to announce plans for a S2 million sailors home and medical center. The building will now become his memorial. Lundeberg is survived by his wife, Ida, and three children, Gunnar. 9. Alette. 6. and Erik, 2 The family home is in Hills borough. Seamen Apparently Winners in Strike Portland (U.R) A group of 13 alien seamen aboard the freighter SS James Lick appar ently had won their point today by proclaiming a strike when they said they had been fired but denied severance pay. The 13 found themselves in the uncomfortable position of neither being wanted on board or ashore. The ship's captain had picked up the passports of the men when the dispute broke out and immigration officials would not let the men off the vessel without them. Ralph Huddleston, second mate aboard the Lick, said the strikers had been notified that their demands would be met. The dispute broke out last week when the Lick arrived here from Japan. The strikers asserted that the rest of the crew I had been given three-months! severance pay and airplane tickets to New York but they had not. MUCH IS A USED CAR WORTH? Depends on the make, the model, course. Every dealer tries to tell worth the most. Here are the facts! The resale value of every make, model, and year is listed in the NADA Used Car Guide, the official "bible" of die industry. And here's what the NADA Guide shows: A used Studebaker is worth more than other cars in the low price field, model for model, year for year. For example, the 1956 Studebaker 4-door President has the highest average resale value of all comparable V8's in its price class both in per centage and in actual dollars and cents.

Speakers were from Oregon State college, the southern Ore gon experiment station and the county extension office. During the question and an swer period at the start of the meeting, considerable discus sion was held on the problem of San Jose scale. In Seedlings It was pointed out that San Jose scale starts in seedlings and trees near neglected ditches and in neglected back yard trees. It was noted the present control materials are still considered ef fective. However, more thor ough application of the mater ials was urged, especially in tree tops which are hard to reach and are commonly miss ed. Iain MacSwan, plant pathol ogist for Oregon State college, used a flannel graph to illus trate the pear scab life history. He pointed out various times when pear scab can best be con trolled and gave reasons for this. L. C. Terriere, assistant chem ist at Oregon State college, spoke on adjusting air blast sprayers for reduced gallonage. He said good summer coverage can be attained with 125 to 150 gallons of spray per acre if the sprayer is adjusted correctly and directs most of the spray toward the tops of trees. Virus Diseases J. A. Milbrath, plant patholo gist for Oregon State college, discussed virus diseases and showed slides illustrating the in fluence of viruses on various plants. Some suspected viruses among stone fruit can be trans ferred to an "indicator" plant, such as a melon or cucumber, and resulting growth of the in dicator plant will determine whether or not virus was pres ent in the original plant. Sim ilar tests are being developed for diagnosis of virus among pears and Milbrath described progress on these tests. R. J. Higdon, formerly horti culturist for the southern Ore gon experiment station, spoke on pear blight sprays. He named control of blight and preventing russet on the fruit as import ant elements in blight control. He said copper and streptomycin both give good control of blight if properly used, and added that neither will cause russet if ap plied in favorable weather. Higdon said, however, that copper will cause more russet if applied in damp weather, espec and the year, of you his make is 7 listened to rumor!" S. Riverside O ially if there are drops of water on the fruit when copper is applied. Pest Control L. G. Gentner, entomologist for the southern Oregon experi ment station, spoke on pest con trol. He said a combination of oil and liquid lime sulphur or a combination of oil and poly sulphide are both considered good for scale control if thor oughly applied. He emphasized that the combination of chemi cals is better than either one alone. Gentner noted that the same mixture controls pea psylla, aphis and European red mite. He said kelthane, a new and relatively non-toxic control ma terial, is best for control of spi der mite and will be available in limited quantities and for re stricted use until labeling re quirements are cleared. Spray Program Don Berry, county horticul ture agent, reported on the spray program in Jackson county. He noted a few changes since last year, but said more emphasis should be given to dor mant spray. He suggested use of dormant spray whenever weath er is warm and favorable for it. This is after Feb. 20 or in early spring. He recommended kel thane or aramite for use here. Berry also recommended doubling the amount of organic phosphate for aphis control, which he said hasn't been as ef fective here as it should have been.
