I IWA President Asks Labor to Support Foreign Aid Policy Delegates to the 18th an nual convention of the Klam ath Basin District Council of the International Woodwork ers of America, AFL-CIO, were advised here Saturday afternoon that "labor should itrongly support the Presi dent's foreign aid program." A. F. Hartung, internation al president of the IWA, told delegates that "while our for eign aid program Isn't being administered just as we would like, it would be disastrous for the United States if this plan isn't enacted." Hartung, who showed an awareness that many rank- and-file union members do not understand their stake in the U. S. foreign aid pro gram, pointed out to dele gates that "America must al so stand guard against any efforts to erect a high tariff C7 f VI v u - r , - vk t!

Ronnie has played with the group f r a year and a half and though he can't carry the drum in -parades yet because it bangs his knees, he puts on quite a g&ow when the juniors play for lodge meetings and picnics. Ronnie's 14-year-old brother, Jack, who plays bass and snare firums as well as the oboe, helped teach him the fine points cf playing the drum, but needless to say, none of the prac tice sessions took place in the -Webster home. According to Heine, Ronnie shows a lot of promise as a drummer. Sunday Only!

Higher Tariffs "Some labor organiza tions," he said, "have come out for higher tariffs on cer tain products. I don't belive," Hartung said, "that they real ize just how this can affect the economy of this country." "They apparently don't realize," Hartung x declared, "that U.S: exports last year were in the amount of $67 billion and that if we erect high tariffs against foreign products, we will lose these overseas customers. I want you all to remember," Hart ung said, "that our exports last year amounted to more than the total gross, national product of the Republic of India, a state that contains one fifth of the human race." Hartung called upon the delegates to "approach the problem of import restrictions and tariffs carefully and only after you have done some hard thinking on he subject. Just ask yourselves," he said, "what would happen to the economy of this nation if we lost a $67 billion export mar ket, or even half of it, when we've got over five million people out of work?" Criticizes Administration Hartung also criticized the Eisenhower administration's domestic policy, declaring "this is the first time in my life, or in history so far as I know, that we've had a de pression while at the same time we see the price level rise for 24 months in a row. "Unemployment is rising and more people are unable to buy the things they pro duce," the IWA leader said, "and at the same time, the Eisenhower administration is doing nothing but smile and ask us 'to wait and see.' "Nothing is being done in Washington, D.C., to bring prices down or take care of our unemployment situation," Hartung charged. "What steps are being taken by the Na tional administration are not the kind that are needed to increase the purchasing pow er of the people." Hartung charged that the "economic policies of the Ei senhower administration are having no effect on the snow balling problem we are faced with. Unable To Buy "As prices charged by the monopolies increase, more and more people are unable to buy. As more and more people are unable to buy, more and more people are laid off," Hartung said. The IWA president rec ommended to the convention that a resolution calling for an increase in exemptions on federal income tax be passed by the delegates. The conven tion responded in its first par tial committee report by un animously adopting a resolu tion calling for such an in crease in exemptions. Delegates also passed a res olution in support of the Ore gon Centennial Exposition and International Trade Fair, Milk makes Energy Want a really dependable lift? Have a glass of our milk.

Durham, executive di rector of the Oregon Chest, outlined proposed changes in the Oregon Chest at a meeting of the United Medford Cru sade board of directors last week. The Oregon Chest, begun as a war chest during the early part of World War II, and car ried on as a federation of agencies offering state-wide services, will be dissolved at the end of 1958. Supplanting this agency, a new organiza tion called the Oregon United Appeal will be formed this month much on the same gen eral plan' as the Oregon Chest. Agencies- having member ship in the Oregon Chest will not be "blanketed in" the new organization, but will need to apply for membership, Dur ham said. Those included in the new federation will be chosen by a qualifications committee whose members are drawn from every county in the state. Represent UMC Mr. and Mrs. Ray Reter, and Richard H. Travis will represent the United Medford Crusade on the committee, which meets in Portland this week. Tom G. Polk, president of the UMC, will participate in the budget reviews of the newly admitted gencies at a meeting of that committee in Portland May 25, 26, and 27. A fairshare quota system for apportioning the total Oregon United Appeal budget to the various united funds and com munity chests in Oregon will be set up by this committee to equalize the load according to the amount of service ren dered by Oregon United Ap peal agencies in the various localities and also with re spect to several other factors used to make fairshare load for each community. It is expected that under this system the Portland United- fund will be asked to assume about 60 per cent of the Oregon United Appeal budget due to the fact that the population in that area has the heaviest use of agency services. Institutions Of particular interest to UMC donors are the 11 child care institutions represented in the Oregon Chest, . and which are expected to be in cluded in the Oregon United Appeal. The agencies provide services for local children that are not available locally. Un wed mothers, orphaned chil dren, babies and children handicapped from birth by blindness or other defects, and emotionally r disturbed chil d r e n requiring institution care, are among hose who are helped. The agencies have been sup ported through the United Medford Crusade for many years, and were included in the Ashland United Fund last year. Durham' asked that the United Medford Crusade enter into a formal agreement with the Oregon United appeal which sets forth conditions re garding the handling of bud gets and allocations. The UMC empowered its executive com mittee to consider the matter and take action. Durham ad dressed the Ashland United Fund directors last week on the same subject. The Ashland United Fund has entered into the agreement. Following Durham' ad dress to the UMC .board, the in which they declared that "Oregon'i working people will share in the Income" brought into the state by vis itors who attend the celebra tion commemorating Oregon's 100th birthday. Delegates also heard an ad dress from Bruce A. Bishop, editor of The Woodworker, who called upon them to "stand up and be counted" on the question of nuclear test ing and the "fearsome results that will accrue to the peo ple of the world If strontium-90- continues to be blasted in to the atmosphere." George Brown, political ed ucation director of the Ore gon AFL-CIO, gave the dele gates a "run-down" on Fri day's primary election and reported that "labor came out rather well in spite of the light vote cast throughout the state." Brown described Governor Robert D. Holmes as "the best Governor this stat has had in my memory. Labor could not," he said, "ask for better treatment than Bob Holmes has given us." G.I. DRAWS SENTENCE Kaiserslautern, Germany OF) Spl-3 Ralph A. Peder sen, of Fargo, N. D., was sen tenced Friday to three months imprisonment by a U.S. Army court martial for negligent homicide.

About 40 people were present at the meeting which included agen cy presidents, executives, members of agency publicity committees, and UMC volunteers.
