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

of the International Longshore

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.
Craftsmanship does it!

160 Fruit Growers
Attend Pear Meeting
A total of 160 Jackson coun
ty fruit growers attended a
three-hour meeting on pears
Monday afternoon in the court
house auditorium.
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

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.
