lets at a meeting March 29

also discussed in the brochure.
Becken said the school of

Keuberger Raps
Interest Rates
Sweet -Home HP) Sen.
Richard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.)
told a luncheon meeting of
Sweet Home service clubs to
day that high interest rates,
with their adverse impact on
new housing construction,
have been the major factor in
Oregon's economic decline
during the past five years.
The 45 -year -old Oregon
Democrat said he had strong
hopes for the new housing bill
originated by the Democratic
members of the Senate. He
said a general revival of the
American economy was need
ed before Americans would
begin building and buying
homes, which provide the
principal market for Oregon
lumber products.
Monday night, Neuberger
told the Washington county
Democratic Central Commit
tee in Hillsboro that Russia's
vast river developments
should awaken the United
States to the "folly" of sacri
ficing the great hydroelectric
resources of the Columbia
basin.
He said the Russian govern
ment had 25,000 engineers
planning major water-supply
projects as contrasted to only
12,000 in America's Corps of
Engineers and Bureau of Reclamation.

For Higher Wages
New York (tP Colum
bia Broadcasting System radio
and television stations across
the nation were on the air to
day with supervisory workers
behind the cameras and con
trol panels in place of 1,300
technicians.
Film was substituted for
some scheduled live television
shows in which the camera
work was considered too in
tricate for the inexperienced
hands. This will include to
night's scheduled Red Skel
ton show from Hollywood if
the strike is still on, the net
work said. An old Skelton
program will be shown from
film.
The 1,300 members of eight
locals of the International
Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers (IBEW) walked off
their jobs at 1 p.m. Monday

tract had expired Jan. 31, but
negotiations had continued in
Washington with officers of
the Federal Mediation and
Conciliation Service sitting in
on the talks.
The strikers man CBS
owned radio and television
stations in New York, Los An
geles, Chicago and St. Louis,
TV stations only in Hartford,
Conn., and Milwaukee and
radio stations only in Boston
and San Francisco.
Wage Increase Offered
William C. Fitts Jr., CBS
vice-president in charge of la
bor relations, said the action
was "an economic strike for
exorbitant wage demands."
Fitts said the company had
offered a seven per cent wage
increase over two years that
would bring base pay after
three years service to $185 a
week.
Union officials said the
company offer was six per
cent rather than seven and
would not cover the cost of
living increase since their
last contract.
