c rOURTKtlf EDr083 (OREGON) MAIL TPI3UWE Friday. June 18. 1SS7 Western Teamsters ! Private Pilot Vote Strips Brewster Of Considerable Rank San Diezo, Calif. "? The 21st annual convention of the Western Conference of Team uteri in a prolonced session Thursday nisht voted to chance the constitution and elect instead of appoint a 16-mnn executive board to run the conference. The constitution chance was first proposed earlier in the day by the San Francisco and San Joanquin Valley delegations. The action started a heated de bate a forces supporting chair man Frank Brewster had called In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Radio Free Europe officials have made an interesting deci mon. They have nei.idcd to quit using plastic balloon to carry propaganda to the people behind the Iron Curtain. Why? The reason offered is that in Poland the situation is so deli cately balanced (between com munism and anti - communism) that the West DOESN'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING TO DRIVE THE COUNTRY CLOSER TO RUSSIA. rPHAT suggests the thought that in Poland and prob ably elsewhere in the satellite countries such obvious' efforts as sending over balloons loaded with propaganda material tend to arouse resentment against the West instead of making friends for us. T ET'S turn the situation around. Suppose the Russians, operat ing from bases in Siberia and taking advantage of the prevail ing winds, should flood OUR country with balloons loaded down with Russian propaganda material. What would we do? We'd probably get madderj man ine proveroiai wet nen and instead of influencing us favorably the balloons and the stuff they carried to us would turn us even more strongly against th,e Kremlin and its methods than we already are. Human nature is human na " ture the world over. for amendments designed to leave more of the control of the 11-state conference in Brewster's hand. Vot of Confidence Immediately aftr stripping Brewster of many of his powers the delegates cave Brewster a standing vote of confidence. Brewster said after the meet ing that he had favored many of the changes and the added con trols voted by the teamsters. The delegates finally hrought the issue to a vote in an over time session that lasted almost until midnight. The vote sup ported the proposal to set un the elective board, which will be composed of six union officials and one man elected from each of the conference's 10 divisions. Statui Seen Unchanged Brewster appeared confident after the vote that the decision would not change his status in the union. He reminded the dele gates that the constitution change would have to be approved by the union's international conven tion at Miami next September. The resolution passed calling for the change was the strongest of several proposals offered by a reform element within the union. Brewster, convicted Wednesday of contempt of Congress for re fusing to answer questions about his finances, was reappointed to another term as chairman by in 4ernational president Dave Beck in Monday's opening session. Escapes Injury Roseburg TP A private pilot, who was once reported missing Thursday, escaped ser ious injury Thursday night when his light plane cracked up in an emergency landing about two miles south of Myrtle Creek near the Pacific highway. State police identified the pi lot as Dr. Harrel Don Mosely, Coeur d'Aletie, Idaho. He suf fered shock and minor cuts but was not hospitalized. Witnesses told state police the plane flipped on its back as the pilot attempted to set down on a gravel road. Both wings were badly torn and the engine was smashed. Earlier, Dr. Mosely was re ported overdue on a flight from Coeur d'Alene to Grants Pass, Ore., according to the Washing ton State Aeronautics Commis sion. He had stopped at Pasco for two aid, one-half hours before continuing on to Redmond, Ore., and that was enough to make him overdue, according to his flight plan, officers said. home? This, I'd say, is the an swer: Not until it is SAFE for us to do so. Our national existence is at stake and we can't take chances with our national existence. TT WON'T be safe for us to get our troops off foreign soil until our friends and allies are ready and willing to assume their share of the burden of RETALIATION against Russia if Russia should decide to try an atomic Pearl Harbor. Five Girls Injured As Bus Turns Over Salem IP A bus with 45 children returning from a pie nic overturned here Thursday hospitalizing five Salem girls. Injured were: Sandra Stew art. 13. Cathy Gwinn. 14, Paul ine Cook, 14, Judy Kiewel, 12 and Daisy Lim. 22, identified as a foreign exchange student. Driver of the bus, Garl Mom cal. 21, Salem, told police the brakes on his bus failed as he turned onto the highway. He had a choice of going over a 100 foot slope or frying to com plete the turn and the bus turn ed over on its left side. The bus was one of a three bus caravan returning from Sil ver Creek falls where the chil drcn were treated to a picnic by a Salem berry farmer. During World War I, many British troops were infected with anthrax, believed carried on shaving brushes imported from Japan. THAT brings us back to the touchy situation involved in the presence of American troops on foreign soil. I think we must all agree that AS OF NOW we must keep bases scattered as widely over the world as possible. The rea son for that is that we have re nounced aggressive war. We have said that we won't AT TACK FIRST. That gives to Russia the priceless advantage of the initiative. The advantage of the initia tive can't help putting in com munist Russia minds the thought that if we can be KNOCKED OUT ALL AT ONCE, so that we can't retaliate effectively, Russia will be master of the world. Our surest way to get around that is to have bases acattered so widely around the world that Russia can't knock us out all at once. That is the basic reason that compels us to keep American troops on foreign scil. AGAIN- Let s turn the situation around. Suppose foreign troops were on OUR soil. We'd RESENT them. No matter how agreeable they might be personally and individually, no matter how much money they might spend in our towns, we'd resent their Qpresence bitterly. Human nature is just human nature. O HEN can we get our troops off foreign soil and back ' medford FLUSH-CLEAN OWL CLEANER WITH The quick, easy way to clean toilet bowl and tank. One tablet a week does the job.
