6 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medferd. Oregon, Tuesday, October 7, 1938 American Public Said Not Supporting Policy in Red China Washington -CPU- Sen. Hu bert H. Humphrey (D. Minn.) says the American public "is not supporting the policy of involvement in hostilities with Red China over the off-shore islands." Humphrey, just back from an 11-state tour, told a news conference Monday that re cent developments make it hard to tell whether there has been a change in U. S. policy but "I think there .is one in the making." He said he felt Monrovia Fire Area Surveyed For Reseeding Monrovia, Calif. - (UPD - Ex perts of the U.S. Forest Serv ice today began a survey of the blackened area of the Monrovia fire to determine how much of the 12,700 acres must be seeded to prevent winter floods. The multi - million dollar fire burned thousands of acres of valuable watershed area and destroyed eight homes and dozns of cabins. It was brought under control Mon day night, except for a couple of small patches. It was start ed last Thursday by two seven-year-old boys playing with matches. Fir Lines Patrolled A force of 700 men pa trolled fire lines and fought flames in the Pine Mountain area where the blaze raced past fire lines into a new area. However, the Forest Serv ice said the remaining fires did not pose a threat because they were moving into areas burned over last year by the Morris and Gale fires. Weather conditions also fa vored the firefighters in the mop-up operations of fires which broke out last week temperatures which baked brushlands desert dry. Seeding Plans Made Even before the fire was controlled, plans were being made to seed over the burned area with quick-growing grass to prevent flooding this winter in the communities strung along the base of the San Ga briel foothills. At Newhall, 60 miles north of Los Angeles, a 30-year-old housewife said she accidental ly started a 250-acre blaze which fatally burned fire fighter Leland Dennis, 33, of Oraibe, Ariz., last Sunday. Authorities did not issue a complaint against her. They said there was no proof the woman had started the fire, despite her admission. any change would be primar ily a "face-saving" for Secre tary of State John Foster Dulles. Credits Protests Meanwhile, Sen. Joseph S. Clark (D.-Pa.) said in a speech Monday night at Lansdowne, Pa., that "events of the last few days justify the hope that the American people, are win ning their fight for peace in the Far East." He credited the protests of Democrats for add ing peace. Humphrey, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said Democratic criticism did not represent any "softening" of determina tion to back up the Formosa Defense Treaty with Nation alist China. But he said "there is nothing requiring us to slavishly adhere to mis guided policies just out of patriotism." Attack Denounced Humphrey denounced as "Intemperate and uncalled for" President Eisenhower's recent attack on critics of his Quemoy-Formosa policy. He referred to the Presi dent's reply to a letter from Chairman Theodore F. Green (D-R.I.) of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Green voiced doubts the American people would support U.S. military action to defend Quemoy. Eisenhower replied Satur day that Democratic attacks on the Administration's Far East policy were hurting free world unity and might make war "almost inevitable." Multnomah Sheriff Raps Jury Report Portland-(UPD-Sheriff Fran cis Lambert took issue today with a grand jury report which criticized the Rocky Butte jail as too plush. Lambert said last Friday's report was the first by a eranr? inr-u- whirh rallp1 iht during scorching 100-degreejaii too elaborate. He said "I am sure that the members of other grand juries must have smiled when they read this report." The. jail in the county courthouse was praised as a place of detention by the grand jury. Lambert said this jail was used only for hold over purposes and had been 'condemned by every inspec tor of federal prisons." Steelworker Head Raps Labor Curbs Portland-(DPD-David J. Mc Donald, president of the AFL- CIO United Steelworkers of America, told the Catholic Conference on Industrial and Social Relations here Monday night that "there are more laws in our country limiting the rights of labor than in any other nation in the free world." McDonald, speaking on the topic "Legal and Moral Lim itations on Work Stoppages," lashed out against "right to work laws, the use of injunc tions and the use of state, local and "even federal police in strike breaking . . ." He said "governmental attitudes and hostile corporate groups were prejudiced against all labor. The leader of the 1,250,000 member metal workers union said management was just as responsible for work stoppages as labor. Candidate Offers To Donate Salary Portland - (UPD John John ston, Republican candidate for Congress, offered Monday to donate one half of his annual income and expense allow ance to bona fide Multnomah county charities if he is elect ed to Congress.' Johnston opposes Rep. Edith Green (D-Ore.) Un the third district. "As a Navy officer in Wash ington, D.C., I had a chance to learn a lot about the duties of congressmen," he said. know I can be as effective representing my district with the income of $12,500 as I could with an income of $25,000." He challenged Mrs. Green to match the offer. Contracts Awarded For Highway Jobs Salem-iUPB-The State High way Commission Monday awarded two contracts total ing approximately $600,000 for two projects in southern Oregon. Both contracts went to Washington firms. A $329,936 contract to build the Dwight Creek and Rough and Ready Creek bridges on the Redwood high way in Josephine county was awarded to Peter Kiewit Sons, Vancouver, Wash. White Brothers Construc tion Co., Walla Walla, was awarded a contract to grade and pave 1.38 miles of the Pacific highway nine miles south of Cottage Grove in Douglas counfy. The White bid was $270,577. U. S. agricultural exports to Japan increased from 392 million in 1956 to 454 million in 1957, a 16 per cent boost to a new record. Hatfield Favors Capital Gains Tax Sandy, Ore. -(UPD- Secretary of State Mark Hatfield, Re publican candidate for gover nor, said Monday night Ore gon's economic development can be helped by a capital gains provision in the state tax structure. Hatfield also suggested re vision of the "discriminatory' inventory tax and a state pro vision for small business losses copied from the federal tax structure. Hatfield said he was not suggesting special tax conces sions to industry. "It is purely and simply that we must be competitive with our sister states if we are to hold and attract industry," he said. He said Oregon timber, ag riculture and tourist activities all are seasonal. He said 12 month type payrolls, such as mining, should be developed, Daily's U-Drive Medford Airport GREAT NATION-WIDE EVENT.. .WHEN ALL AMERICA SHOPS AND SAVES!
