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

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

Heine, Ronnie shows a lot of promise as a drummer.

Firemen Make
406 Inspections
The Medford fire depart
ment reports making 406
home inspections for the week
of May 12 to 15 in their an
nual home inspection pro
gram. ; .
They said 783 calls to
homes were made during the
four-day week, cut short by
the election holiday. Home
owners not at home when fire
men came to inspect number
ed 224.
A total of 334 homes were
inspected in which no fire
hazards were noted, they said.
About 240 recommendations
for corrections of hazards
were issued, they added.
Home owners turning down
the offer of the department
for the free inspection num

wall against foreign imports.
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,

Proposed Changes
In Oregon Chest
Are Discussed Here
G. R. 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."
