Cosla Rica Pays Travel Expenses on Two Week End Trips Washington W Miss Ro- sita Bennett said Saturday the Costa Rican government and a newspaper in Columbia paid her travel expenses for two week end trips last month to those countries as a consultant and in terpreter for Rep. Charles O. Porter (D-Ore ). Miss Bennett. Latin American expert for the Library of Con gress legislative reference bur eau, said she did not believe that this amounted to receiving "compensation" from a foreign government. Miss Bennett, who was assign ed by the Library to work with Porter, accompanied the Oregon congressman on the trips. The Library and Porter have said she was carrying out official duties of the Library of Con gress. Makes Statement She made her statement to a reporter Saturday in response to a charge by Rep. E. Carroll Reece (R-Tenn.) that this ex planation was "preposterous." In a statement inserted in the Congressional Record Reece said the fact that Miss Bennett's trav el expenses were paid by the Costa Rican government and tne empo, added up to "compensa tion" from a foreign govern ment. "No federal employee can be engaged in official duties on be half of the United States govern ment and at the same time ac cept compensation from foreign governments in the performance of the duties," Reece said. In his statement, Reece re sumed his running battle with Porter over the Dominican Re public. Porter has denounced the Trujillo government as a dicta torship. Reece has defended it. Reece renewed his charge that Porter has fomented revolution ary activities in speeches before exiled Dominicans in Puerto Rico. Porto was not immediately available for comment. Evanston, 111.

Disagreement May Result in Strike ALL IN THE EAR (See story on Page 1.) Following are the texts of two letters dealing with the disa greement between Medford Cor poration and Local 6-221, Inter national Woodworkers of Amer ica, which may result in a strike Monday morning. The first is a letter to Medco from the president of the local union, Bruce McDonald. The sec ond is a letter addressed to all woods and railroad employees of Medco by B. L. Nutting, man ager. Texts of the two letters follow: The Medford Corporation Medford, Oregon This will confirm our negotia tions of this date, July 18; and, due to the position of the Med ford Corporation as expressed by your spokesman, Mr. Irving of the P. I. R. C, of being un willing to grant any of the Un ion's demands with reference to the Industry points, or your failure to submit any counter proposal on such demands, will serve as our notification to you that the Local Union 6-221 has no alternative but to officially strike your operation in order to secure consideration to the Union's just but modest de mands. The Local Union had previously voted by secret ballot to take this action, provided your position was unchanged in today's negotiations. We informed you that we would notify you of the effec tive date that this Economic strike would commence. There fore, please be advised that at an overflowing meeting of Local 6-221, held the evening of July 18, 1957, the membership voted unanimously to commence this strike at 7:00 A.M. Monday, July 22, 1957, unless, of course, prior to that time a settlement can be reached on the Economic issues in dispute. As the meeting on Negotia tions was recessed on the 18th of July subject to call, this is to advise that the Local Union, District Council, or its' bargain ing representative, the North west Regional Negotiating Com mittee, stands willing and ready to re-enter into negotiations at any time, upon request of either your or your representatives, or the Federal Mediation -and Con ciliation Service. Sincerely, Bruce McDonald. President I.W.A. Local 6-221.

PHONE OK WRTf. FRfl DEMONSTRATION NO OBLIGATION S0N0T0NE C. R. Adamson, Dist. Mgr. 839 E. Jackson Ph. SP 2-5904 To our Woods and Railroad Employees: We met with committees rep resenting the Northwest Region al Negotiating Committee, and your Local 6-221, on July 18 The meeting was called by the Federal Mediation and Concilia tion Service, at the request of the union to negotiate on the so- call industry demands. The Med iation officer explained to us that for some reason the Union seemed to feel there was more need for hurry at MEDCO than at other operations in the area It must be assumed that your Union advisors are concerned about the work stoppage since June 25, and the position in which Local 6-221 now finds it self by reason of impetuous and unwise leadership. Incidentally, we were told at the close of the meeting that Local 6-221 was now going to strike MEDCO. (This was confirmed by letter today, with the strike to com mence on July 22nd.) You know you haven't worked by reason of Local 6-221 picket line since June 25th. We commented to the Federal Mediation and Counciliation Service Officer about the futility of trying to reach, or reaching, agreement on anything when we were already shut down by a Union dispute with another em ployer. We commented further, that an illegal action by your Union had removed from MEDCO any legal obligation to bargain. We did not refuse to discuss the industry issues, and repeated our refusal to increase costs when faced by the current adverse market conditions. We did not have sufficient informa tion to disuss the local issue on mechanics' wages. The whole meeting lasted only one hour and seventeen minutes. This included the time consumed by the Union for a caucus. The meeting seemed to have been arranged so that your officers could announce a strike over economics issues. (Our search of the National Labor Relations Board and court case histories revealed that illegal strikes are not made legal by change of tactics or names. This is true of illegal boycott as well as other illegal strikes.) We wish to correct one figure in our letter of July 12. Our sales realization for the first six months of 1957 is $10.00 per thousand less than for the same period in 1956, instead of $9.12, the figure that you were given. Your Union leaders seem to want to make bad situations into worse situations. It is you, how ever, who are losing the wage income. You have lost 13 days of work. Our average woods em ployee has lost $280.80 in wage income. Some of you have lost less, of course, but many of you have lost more than that. It takes both more and less to figure an average from totals. The steady employment that MEDCO has been able to provide to you is worth much. The fam ily of any man employed on a seasonal basis can attest to that fact. So can the employees of lumber companies who unlike MEDCO have had to curtail work schedule because of the depressed lumber market. Your leaders can find many ways to keep you on strike once they get you out. It takes a long time to settle strikes, and even longer for you Union mem bers to regain control of your side of the situation. MEDFORD CORPORATION By B. L. Nutting Manager RC Hospital Council Splits in Areas The Red Cross .hospital coun cil has been split into two area groups, Mrs. Helen Wilson, ex ecutive secretary for the Jack son county chapter, said Satur day. The decision was made dur ing a council meeting in Rose- burg Friday, Mrs. Wilson said Council members from Lake- view, Yreka, Calif., Klamath Falls, Grants Pass and Medford will serve Camp White here. Roseburg members will serve the veterans hospital there, she explained. This is an attempt to streanv line expenditures, the ' executive secretary said. The total disaster fund is in the red right now, she added. Those attending the all day meeting were Mrs. Frank Fair weather, field consultant for Southern Oregon chapter; Mrs Yvonne Dalen, hospital repre sentative for Camp While; Mrs. Lillian Salade and Mrs. John S. Day. Baptist Minister May Be in Seattle Portland API A Baptist minister who fasted for 119 days and dropped from 227 to 144 pounds then disappeared may be in Seattle, two Portland women said Friday. Mrs. Curtis Sommer and her mother phoned a Portland news paper to say they saw a man answering the Rev. W. T. Mug ford's description leaving a train in Seattle Thursday morning. The women had been visiting in Seattle, and learned of the min ister's disappearance on their re turn here. Mugford, pastor of Logan Baptist church near Estacada reportedly had two brief cases one of which is supposed to have contained $1,000. The women said they noticed the name "Reverend W. T. Mug- ford" engraved on one of the brief cases, and remembered it because it was a "pecular" name. Mrs. Mugford, the pastor's wife, said she thought her hus band was "just taking off' for a while. Teenagers Credited With Getting Suspect Portland (W Two Port land teenagers with their wits about them Saturday were credited with the apprehension of a holdup suspect. Brian F. Lynch, 14, and Brian J. McGuire, 13, chased Dennis Paul Cox, 22, Portland, after the Alemeda Shoe Repair shop on Northeast Fremont street was held up and robbed of $105. They caught the fugitive just as he got in his car and young McGuire tried to grapple with him but he wrenched free. The boys took the license number of the Cox car which lead to his arrest as he picked up two girls. one from Medford and one from Eagle Point, at their motel. The money taken from John Rumapkis was recovered at Cox's home, police said. He was booked on a charge of assault and robbery. The girls, who ap parently were not aware of the holdup, were questioned but not held. ous beating of the elderly wom an Thursday. Mrs. Francis Liberace Casa- donte, in a state of shock and suffering a possible rib fracture. was taken to the North Holly wood hospital Friday after two masked thugs beat and slugged her into unconsciousness. The beating occurred several hours after her famous enter tainer son gave a deposition con cerning a $25,000,000 suit against Confidential Magazine and offered to take a lie detector test. Completes Show Liberace, who was not told of the attack on his mother until after he completed his midnight show at Hollywood's Moulin Rouge night club, promised a full scale investigation of the assault. Mrs. Casadonte, who remained under sedatives at the Sherman Oaks home most of Friday be fore being hospitalized, told po lice the attack occurred on the service porch. She said she saw two men, wearing business suits, black hoods and stockings over their shoes come toward her as she was entering the house from the back yard. They caught her as she attempted to flee and kicked and beat her. Hears Comment She said she heard one man say, Kick her again so we will have something to laugh about later. After she regained conscious ness, she said she called Mrs Jane Liberace, wife of her son George, and Police Officer John Redmond, a friend. Detectives said there was no evidence of attempts at either robbery or burglary and nothing was taken from the Liberace home. Liberace's brother, George, underwent a beating in Chicago some months back but it was believed he was the victim of hoodlums intent on robbing him. Oregon Fish Caught In Sea Near Japan Portland RH The Oregon Fish commission reports that an albacore tuna "tagged off the coast of Oregon Aug. 11, 1956 was caught recently by a Japa nese fishing vessel off the coast of Japan. Dr. George Y. Harry Jr., Fish commission research director, said the albacore tag recovery further substantiates the theory that albacore caught sporadically in Oregon waters during late summer are destined for Asiatic waters.

Hitchcock Challenges Neuberger on Issue Portland (IB Republican Phil Hitchcock, former state senator and a spokesman for the GOP in Oregon, Saturday challenged Sen. Richard L. Neuberger ID Ore.) to set his own house in order before blaming President Eisenhower for the muddle over civil rights legislation. Neuberger had said that President Eisenhower must bear responsibility if the civil rights bill is frittered away." Hitchcock labeled the remark shallow and irresponsible charge against one of the peo ple involved In this matter who is sincerely seeking a solution rather than playing politics with it." Hitchcock added, ". . . The Junior Senator would be better advised to try to bring agree ment among his own colleagues and to fight this issue through to a successful conclusion on its merits."
