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
