The Unions are Different
A proposal to require that union elections be
conducted by secret ballot is gaining in favor in
Salem. Among its proponents is Governor Hat
field. Down in Corvallis, Editor Bob Ingalls of the
Gazette-Times wishes, rather wistfully, he could
agree and support legislation requiring secret
elections in unions.
His objection, however, is that it falls too close
to being class legislation. He wonders why, if
secret elections can be forced on unions, why they
could (or should) not be forced on the Kiwanis
club or the League of Women Voters.
TF HIS premise is true, however, there should
be no labor legislation of any kind the Nor-ris-LaGuardia
act, the Wagner act, the Taft-Hartley
act : nothing.
These laws and a multitude of others at both
state and federal level arose when it became evi
dent that labor has come to occupy a unique place
in our social structure, and as such is just as justi
fiably subject to regulation in the public interest
as is, say, business.
The conduct of the Kiwanis club or the League
of Women Voters has little impact on the liveli
hood of their members, on the economic stability
of the community, on (potentially) the welfare
rolls of the state.
But the conduct of union business most em
phatically does.
rOWN in Coos County not long ago, Weyer
haeuser Timber company fired a truck driv
er, alleging a long series of accidents. The union
disputed this action, and went on strike, claiming
that the firing was a result of a personal dispute
between the driver and his superior.
The strike ended only Wednesday, when both
parties finally agreed to arbitration. Meanwhile,
about a half-million dollars in payrolls were dried
up, strikers and their families went on welfare or
dug into slender savings, business suffered, the
company lost its profits. No one benefitted.
We make no attempt to say whether or not the
strike was justified. The point is that some mem
bers of the union have indicated that, while they
voted for the strike in open meeting, they would
not have done so had the balloting been secret.
THIS is the kind of situation which cries out for
" the protection of a man's right to vote private
ly in union affairs, as he does in political affairs.
Would Beck or Hoff a have come into posi
tions of power in the Teamsters union had mem
bers had the secret ballot? We doubt it.
If the time ever comes when the doings of the
Kiwanis club or the League of Women Voters
have the impact on society, government and in
dividual rights that union doings do now, the
time will have come to require a secret ballot for
them, too.
Meanwhile, rank-and-file union members, as
well as the rest of society, need this guarantee of
voting freely and without the possibility of co
ercion. E.A.
Space, Radios arid Logs
What does the space age have to do with the
logger?
At first glance one would say they are totally
unconnected. But a news release from the Ameri
can Forest Products Industries points out that
space-age radio requirements have hampered
In Jackson county, for instance, it says there
are three lumber companies and one industry
association which operate their own radio net-
works. In Oregon as a whole there are about 100
such forest-industry radio licensees, operating
nearly 2,000 radio transmitters.
TWO years ago these forest radio sets operated
1 on a total of eight frequencies, assigned for
their use by the federal communications com
mission. -
The department of defense, impelled by the
need for additional channels, not only for planes
but for missiles and satellites, stepped in and pre
empted four of these.
This left the industry radio networks with only
half the channels they started out with, just at the
time of expanding needs. What to do?
Well, theyv made a virtue of necessity, and,
with the help of new developments in radio en
gineering, came up with a "split channel" system
which doubles the airwave corridors by narrow
ing transmission requirements on new sets from
one full channel to a half -channel.
MOW the FCC has called a hearing for this
spring; to work out plans for "overhaulino-" as
signments of the crowded
industry is out to protect its interests m the few
remaining channels it has.
Radio has become virtuallv in'disDensihle tn

of radio by Elk Lumber company, and later by

Washington- Report
By WILLIAM
SMALL CLOUD OVER L. A.
Washington-Over the Dem
ocrats' decision to go West for
their 1960 National Conven
tion in Los
Angeles there
hangs a small
cloud that is
much trou
bling the par
ty's more can
did and real
istic profes
sionals. Priva t e 1 y,
Wwhu2S- they are fac
ing up to the unpleasant fact
that geographical accident
will offer undue room for the
possibility of some nasty scan
dal in connection with the ex
penses of the delegates. The
plain if little-known truth is
that no Democratic National
Convention ever meets with
out a nagging fear among
party leaders that some dele
gates will later be found to
have accepted tainted expense
money from the camp of one
or another of the party's
Presidential aspirants.
However much the Demo
crats have overstated their
claim to be the party of "the
common man," there are cer
tainly always more poor dele
gates to Democratic conven
tions than there are poor dele
gates to GOP conventions.
And poor delegates are sim
ply, more likely to accept fi
nancial assistance.
I17HAT now raises special
danger is the circum
stance that Los Angeles is a
long way from the homes of
most of the prospective 1960
convention delegates. The vast
majority of them -and they
will number more than a
thousand altogether-will need
to travel 1,500 miles upward
to and from the convention
city. This, along with hotel
bills and taxis and those pure
ly medicinal spirits to which
anybody attending a political
convention is surely entitled,
requires real folding money.
All this is not to say that
Los Angeles should never
have been chosen. Nor- is any
prominent Democrat known
to this correspondent now re
fusing to join in the jovial
chorus: "California, here we
come!" Indeed, the vote of
the Democratic National Com
mittee to meet in Los Angeles
seems clearly sound on any
objective balancing of all con
siderations. In the first place, Califor
nia ,is now by all odds the
premier Democratic state,
quite apart from the fact that
it is tied with Pennsylvania
for second place in total vot
ing strength.
SECOND, the Democratic
party has clear need for
expanding its new salients in
the Far West, if only in the
light of its loss of a few sig
nificant positions in the ur
ban East last November.
California has become as
dominant on the Pacific slope :
Menace
UPAN'j&IH' TO PRSTEtfD
Chester must have been out
playing hookey.
Keating, who was a mem
ber of the House for 12 years
before his graduation to the
Senate last November, like
all ex-House members prob
ably finds the rarefied air of
the Senate hard to take as a
regular thing. Anyway, he
can't resist going back to the
House now and then.
So there he was Thursday,
in the role of expert witness
before the House Space Com
mittee, of which he once was
a member.
Argues For Agreement
He was arguing, most per
suasively, the need for quick
world agreement on control
S. WHITE
as New York has been for a
hundred years on the Atlantic
seaboard. It is more than
merely one state; it is a vig
orous tail potentially able to
wag a very large dog, which
is the Pacific Coast.
Again, though this is cer
tainly not mentioned in Dem
ocratic Dress releases, it is
perfectly obvious that Cali
fornia is a rich new source of
legitimate big-money strength
to the Democrats in the com
ing Presidential campaign.
Most any Eastern industrial
ist, if only because of habit,
is still an extremely poor bet
when any Democratic fund
raising group passes the hat
among the so-called fat cats.
The California fat cats, on
the other hand, are not nec
essarily solely contributors to
the GOP. They are a newer
breed, and their money is
quite as good at the bank as
is the money of the old GOP
industrial breed in the East.
SO THE logical position now
taken by the Democratic
pros is not to buck at the se
lection of Los Angeles for
1960 but rather to forearm
against any financial hankey
pankey among the delegates
that the Republicans later
could call "the moss in Cali
fornia." To this problem, and in this
spirit, some of the ablest
Democratic professionals are
giving the most earnest atten
tion and care. A delegate is
not a public official. And
there is no way in law to ov
ersee his pocketbook.
The way out now being dis
cussed' is to 'find some means
by which the Democratic Na
tional Committee or the par
ty's various state committee
organizations might guaran
tee in advance the pure source
of travel funds of all the dele
gates. This would be a big job,
without a doubt. But it would
not be an impossible one. And
the alternative could be im
possibly embarrassing to the
Democratic party and to
whomever it may nominate.

Deputy Mayor of Berlin Deplores Talk
About Crisis; Doubts Reds Would Shoot
By PHIL NEWSOM
UPI Foreign News Editor
Berlin (UPD West vBer-
lin's Deputy Mayor Franz
Amrehn has a solution if the
East Germans
try to stop an
Allied Berlin
convoy. Don't
talk. Just ram
f the convoy
through. The
Russians
won't shoot.
The 46-year
WJold Amrehn
'pSu'tSSSSm inherited tem
porarily the job of ad
ministering West Berlin s city
affairs in the absence of
Mayor Willy Brandt, who is
on a world tour.
And his . dislike for the
Communists is based on just
as tough a line at Brandt's.
This straight-talking mem
ber of Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer's Christian Demo
cratic . Party, makes no at-
of space. He said this ought
to be a lot. easier now than
it will be after the Russians,
or even the Americans, land
a man on the moon with a flag
and maybe a gun.
Keating said international
law now is that each nation
controls the "air space" over
its territory. He said nobody
knows where this quits and
where "outer space" starts.
Unless we get an agreement
on this he said people may
start extending their air space
toward the stars.
And this is where he ran
into trouble.
"Because of the curved sur
face of the earth," he said,
"the extension would produce
an inverted cone which would
grow bigger and bigger. At
some point these cones would
overlap and more than one
state would be occupying the
same air space
As any space-minded school
boy could have told him, and
as Rep. James G. Fulton (R-
Pa.) did tell him, this wasn't
right.
Fulton Takes Issue
'"At one time," said Ful
ton, drafting and dissecting
with radial lines a reasonable
facsimile of a globe, "I was
going to be a scientist and a
math teacher. I don't believe
the gentleman is correct in
saying the cones would over
lap." o
"The idea is not original
with me," replied Keating. "I
picked it up from a scientist'
Fulton, obviously entertain
ing the hope this scientist was
one working for the other
side, explained that perpen
dicular lines drawn from va
rious points on the earth's
curved surface would diverge
rather than meet.
Keating wasn't so sure.
Neither was Rep. Emilio Q.
Daddario (D-Conn.). He said
Einstein demonstrated that
parallel lines eventually meet.
Fulton said Keating's bound
ary lines weren't parallel. He
asked Keating where they
they would go if extended
downward into the earth.
Calls For Vote
"I'm not going that way at
all," said Keating, who
seemed a little disturbed at
the thought. "I'm going up.".
Fulton, who favors settling
things in an orderly way,
called for a vote on the issue.
Chairman Overton Brooks (D
Ia.) turned aside the demand.
"Let's ask our physicist,"
demanded Fulton, indicating
and at the same time promot
ing Richard Hines, a staff con
sultant who is an engineer but
doesn't quite rate the term
physicist.
Hines, who would rather
have been somewhere else,
held reluctantly that Fulton
was right. Brooks still wasn't
sure.
"I'll appoint a special sub
committee to look into it,"j
he announced, adjourning the
session. j

Seeks Interim Study ,
To the Editor: The need for
a thorough study and revision
of Oregon's code of criminal
law and procedure was recog
nized by the 1957 Legisla
ture which created an interim
committee to ' study, among
other things, "improvement
of the administration of crim
inal justice in Oregon."
Unfortunately, , the interim
committee was barely able to
scratch the surface of the
problem and devoted its ef
forts largely to matters other
than the administration of
criminal justice. It did con
elude, however, that our crim
inal law and procedure is m
many instances , "incomplete
or vague, confusing or con
flicting, unsound or outmod
ed" and in some respects is
subject to all these defects.
SJR 24, introduced recently
by Senator Francis (R-Dayton)
and myself, would authorize
an interim committee devoted
exclusively to the programs
of criminal law and proced
ure.
Many citizens interested in
the just, efficient and eco
nomical administration of our
criminal law have urged such
a study. The sponsors are
unanimous in their beliefs
that the small appropriation
reauired would be more than
repaid in the form of a bet
ter system of criminal justice
