Porter Plans Vote For Shelley Bill But Doubts Support 1 C MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or 10 Wednesday, Aug. 12, 1959 By A. ROBERT SMITH "Mail Tribune Washington '2 Correspondent Washington-Rep. Charles O. Porter (D-Ore.) is planning to vote for the Shelley labor bill -the substitute 'form measure being backed li Viv tho AFL- ' CIO. But Porter said he didn't think there would be i enough sup- ' I port for the ,fft.i..ij Shelly bill to Bol)t sm,u pass it. Z. He said he is strongly op posed to the Landrum-Griffin substitute, which has Presi dent Eisenhower's backing. - If both these substitutes are defeated, as speaker Sam Ray- burn has advocated, Porter Said he will vote for the com promise bill reported out of the House Labor committee. Porter said he would prefer that the bill adopted this ses sion deal only with abuses turned up by the McClellan committee's investigation of labor-management racketeer ing. He said the Shelley bill jdoes this by requiring report ing of union funds, periodic Elections, etc. Porter said he -would recommend that Con gress spend more time consid' jering implications of substan tial changes m the basic 1 ait Hartley act, such as on organ izational picketing, hot cargo agreements and secondary boycotts. HEhould Make Record Known ; Another thing bothering Sorter about the committee lill and the Landrum-Griffin -bill is the prohibition on ex- criminals being elected to "union office. He said he thinks .the bill should require only that their record be made known to union members be fore election. - "I know this is aimed at the teamsters," Porter said, "but it may hit others." ' He said he feared it would hurt union leaders who might be arrested on a picket line and convicted by "ah anti-labor judge." He said this might jinduly handicap union organ izers, especially in the South where resistance to unions is strong. ; "We have to get a bill out of this Congress, however," said Porter. "It will be a com promise. If some of these amendments are as bad as good organized labor says they are, we will have a chance to correct them later." Communications Received Porter's office estimated 300 communications had been re ceived thus far. About half are for the Shelley bill, half for the Landrum-Griffin bill, according to Porter's assistant, Jack Billings. Only one member s of the Oregon delegation is backing the Landrum-Griffin bill, Rep. Walter Norblad (R-Ore.). If it is defeated, he will probably vote for the committee bill, he said. Representatives Edith Green and Al Ullman, iboth demo crats, said they are backing the committee bill. Mrs Green, a member of the draft ing committee, was on a na tionwide TV program Tues day night with three other ad vocates of the committee ver sion, in answer to Eisenhow er's plan- last week for the Landrum-Griffin substitute Two Accidents Are Reported to Police State police reported two auto accidents yesterday aft ernoon and evening.

The pilot film is a sort J of sample, a swatcn of a proposed se- i e s peddled around by its a k e r s in William EwaM hopes of land ing a TV slot or sponsor, pre ferably both. .Much of the MM 1-1 Mif m Negroes Sentenced To Die for Rape LaGrange, Ga. - (UPD - Three Negroes were convicted Tues day night of raping two young white women and were sen tenced to die in the electric chair.

Maine, was second with 36, 975,000 hundredweight - all fall potatoes. Mr. and Mrs. William Burk, are vacationing in southern California. time these hopes dies aborning-some pilot films, like one made by Orson Welles a cou ple of seasons back, are too imaginative for TV; most are too horrendous for even TV to consider. Last spring, for example, platoons of pilots were march ed around sugarplum - land equipped with all manner of toothsome titles. Some of them: The Ivy Leaguer, Skag way, Shotgun Slade, Kitty Hawk, Claudia, Theodora, Confessions of Willie, My Name Is Savage, Caballero, Johnny-Eager, Johnny Stac cato, Johnny Midnight and Johnny Ringo. Only a few of these will be seen on TV this fall. Roundabout Way ' This is all a kind of round about way of getting into Tuesday night and the debut of a new CBS-TV' series, Ad- j venture Showcase. The series will only last four weeks, but during that time it will give viewers a chance to look at some genuine non-reruns, a qUartet of pilots that failed to get off the ground. ' The first of these was piped on board Tuesday night and it was quite obvious why it didn't make it: It . was wretched. Its innards centered around a gentleman improbably nam ed Brock Callahan who had once dabbled in football and then moved on to higher pur suits like private detecting.. The episode was a stupefy ing slab of tedium, one of those things in which a bewil dering array of people gallop in and out of the plot, pum meling each other at odd mo ments and mouthing" that bi zarre jargon that is heard only within the barbarous precincts of private eye adventures. I seem to recall one exchange that went: First guy-"They're clean as a hound's tooth." Second guy - "I've known some pretty dirty hounds." 'The acting was geared rath er suitably to the proceedings, shuttling somewhat uncertain ly between lethargy and tor pidity. I won't name the guilty.
