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.

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.

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.

RC Hospital Council
Splits in Areas
The Red Cross .hospital coun
cil has been split into two area

ecutive secretary for the Jack
son county chapter, said Satur

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.

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, 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."
