state with the seasonal de

harvesting of perishable crops.
"The essense of the bill,"
explained Sen. Harrison Wil

by registration reauirements
to eliminate the relatively
few migrant labor contractors
who are dishonest and im
moral, and who exploit the
migrant workers and grow

Red China lips
Aluminum Output
In Bid for Power
New York, (Science Service)
Further evidence that Red
China seeks to become a major
world power is revealed by
its heavy development of
aluminum resources. -
K. P. Wang, Far East spec
ialist for the U.S. Bureau of
Mines, reports that Communist
China has a small, integrated
aluminum industry now in the
process of rapid expansion. In
1958, he reported, Red China
probably produced about 27,
000 metric tons of primary
ingot. The goal for 1962 is
100,000 to 120,000 tons. Alu
minum output may rise to
180,000 tons by 1965, Wang
said. ,
Would Bo Impressive Gain
(This is still a long way
from U.S. production of 1,
647,710 short tons in 1957.
But if Red China achieves its
1965 goal, it will have expend
ed aluminum production by
6R per cent in seven years
an impressive gain. The U.S.
expanded its output from 206,
280 to 1,647,710 short tons
. between' 1940 and 1957 rep
resenting an 800 per cent gain
over a 17-year period).
"Thus Communist China is
about to become a medium
producer of aluminum by
world standards. In.rffS), its
output most likely will ex
ceed that of the United King
dom," Wang reported.
The Reds estimate 250,000
to 300,000 metric tons of alu
minum are required by the
country's economy for every
10,000,000 tons of steel. An
nual steel output has already
topped that figure. The coun
try is making up some of its
deficit in aluminum through
imports, Wang said.
Harnessed To Industry
" The Chinese are not using
aluminum for kitchen utensils
and foil, but are harnessing
it to industrial jobs where it
can work for national ad
vancement. Chief uses of alu
minum how are in machinery
and equipment, electric pow
er, communications and, to
some extent, the automobile
and aircraft industries, Wang
1 reported.
. Red China recently deter
mined to expand its electric
power distribution system and
communciations networks by
substituting aluminum for 60
per cent of the copper that
would be required.
commissioner of labor, urged
Neuberger and Morse to sup
port this approach. He said
investigations in the past had
produced evidence that "crew
leaders were found to be prac
ticing deplorable abuses of
labor and ethical standards in
Oregon." '
Oregon Licensing Act
Nilsen noted taat the recent
Oregon legislature session had
produced a farm labor con
tractor licensing act, as have
several other states. But he
said only the federal govern
ment can regulate "the total
pattern of the individual farm
labor1 contractor movement
from the state in which .he
recruits his crew to the last
state on the summer harvest
trail in which he works his
crew."
Labor contractors differ in
their operations. Some per
form harvest work at a fixed
rate set in advance with the
grower, and further agree to
recruit, feed, house, transport,
supervise and pay the work
ers. The contractors' profits
then consist of the difference
between his operational costs
and the price he charges the
grower. Other contractors,
operating differently, may be
paid only for the number of
workers they recruit and de
liver; or others only manage
the housing concession; or
contract to haul the produce
from the field to the packing
house.
Some Workers Exploited
"Some labor contractors ex
ploit the workers by mislead
ing promises of high paying
employment, when they know
such employment does not
exist," Sen. Williams said. He
explained the bill requires all

Bull Ma rket Not Dying; Wall
Street Experts See Last Phase
If
By ELMER C. WALZEB
UPI Financial Editor
New York - (UPD - The bull
market still lives, say the
Wall Street experts.
The- bull is
old but he's
not suffering
any organic
d i f f i culties.
Each time he
gets a bit of
i n d i gestion,
there's a loud
cry he's dy
ing. The ex
perts measure
him for a coffin and then he
grows bigger and bigger -
new measurements have to be
taken.
' The experts agree with this
diagnosis, but they warn that
this bull market is in its last
phase. The. last phase could
last through 1960 into 1961,
they assert.
However, there will be
more ups and downs from
now on, they assert. Buying
will be more selective. Then
as the time draws near for
the death of the bull there
may well be a wild rush to
buy anything that's quoted -
the higher the better.
Edmund W. Tabell, analyst
for Walston & Co., doesn't
look for a topout of the mar
ket before late 1960 or in
1961 and then the industrial
average may have reached
750-800, he holds.
The final phase of the bull
market may see speculation
in dubious stocks, says Tabell.
Caution Reigns
This market( he along with
other analysts says, has been
very high and subject to a
selloff. The big traders are
becoming cautious. And so
are the institutions and funds.
The recent talk of a thaw
ing out of the cold war
through the exchange of visits
of the top men in the U.S.
and Russia is seen more as an
excuse than a real reason for
selling the market.
If it weren t for that item,
the sellers would find another
excuse, it is held.
B. K. Thurlow, analyst for
J. R. Williston & Beane, says
it's too early to be dogmatic
about the end of this bull
market.
He guesses that if the tem
po of daily trading rises to
four million shares or more
by Labor Day, one can look
for spectacular but potential
ly dangerous , markets during
the fourth quarter.
If the volume 'is lower, we
should look for a continuation
of the rise, he adds.
As the end of the market
rise draws near, Thurlow ex
pects wild speculation with
buying increasing as prices
rise. He sees traders running
after stocks.
When that time comes, the
best trading media, he finds,
are often the last stocks one
would choose for investment.
They may be the most over
priced, risky, glamorous is
sues which are being bought
blindly by inexperienced
traders who think that mak
ing money in the stock mar
ket is as easy as reading
newspapers. .. . -
When the blow - off - nears
and speculation if.rife, Thur
low says the truly conserva
tive investor should have 40
to 50 per cent of his capital
in short term government or
high coupon - municipal obli
gations. '7;;':- '

The " balance Capart
the inevitable special
ations) he says should be in
dynamic common, stocks
which appear to have at least
as much of their stock market
growth ahead of them as they
have enjoyed in the past year
- another way of saying
"swimming with the tide." :
The market men hold that
the high level of industrial
production despite the steel
strike is a reason for expect
ing a better stock market in
the near future. They feel
that the market needed a good
shakeout and now that it has
come there will be a sub-
tantial recovery.
Most of the experts warn
that from now on, however,
shakeouts may be more nu
merous until the public really
takes hold of the market.
Then will come the big mar
kets and the eventual break,
the prophets assert.
About 67 per cent of Amer
ican adults wear eye glasses

Strike Declared
To Be Symbol
Of Social III
By
DR. DORWIN CARTWRIGHT
Research Coordinator
Research Center for Group
Dynamics
University of Michigan
Ann Arbor, Mich, (Science
Service) A strike should be
conceived as a symptom of
deeper and more complex soc
ial malfunctioning. This social
illness has important causes
stemming from economic and
political institutions as well
as from the behavior of in
dividuals and smaller groups.
It is a characteristic of
symptoms that they cannot be
satisfactory eliminated by
dealing with them directly.
Action can and must be taken
to prevent their getting out of
hand; the patient's fever must
be reduced. '
Future Attacks Seen
But future attacks of the
disease will be certain to arise
unless the underlying causes
are dealt with. This means
that any attempt to prevent
strikes by direct repressive ac
tion could at best only produce
other symptoms of the same
social illness.'
' Social science possesses the
research tools needed for an
alyzing the social disease ere
ated by the current strike. The
Federal Government could
well afford to sponsor a com
mission of scientists to an
alyze specifically the causes
underlying these recurrent
strikes. .... ...
Should Examine Sources
"' Such a commission should
examine the major sources of
tension from the point, of view
of economics, sociology, po
litical science, and social psy
chology. It would, of course,
be devoted to the search for
facts, and the discovery . of
causes and effects, and would
therefore be in no sense par
tisan. ,
Only through such a genu
inely scientific diagnosis can
an effective remedy be pre
scribed. Although there is no
precedent for such a commis
sion, research techniques and
scientific knowledge have de
veloped in recent years to such
a level that a significant con
tribution to the reduction of
tension in the steel industry
could now be made.
representations concern i n g
farm employment to be made
in writing the prices the
workers will be charged for
housing, food, transportation,
etc., and the wages to be of
fered. v;
Contractors will have to
keep accurate payroll ac
counts and to make all pay
ments due his workers. Some
contractors have been known
to deduct and then pocket
social security payments, or
to slip out before paying final
wages. '
Contractors would be re
quired to insure their vehicles
property, as a remedy against
use of unsafe trucks for trans
porting workers. Contractors
would be prohibited from im
porting gamblers and prosti
tutes and selling habit-forming
drugs.
Would Revoke Licenses
T h e s e provisions, if vio
lated, would result in revoca
tion of the contractor's li
cense. So Would any breach
in contract made with the
grower, such as the case of a
contractor, operating on a
piece-rate contract for apple
picking, moved his workers
on after picking only the
easily reached apples on low
er branches and neglecting
the higher branches which re
quire more time.
"For the good of the farm
ers, who often have 'sad ex
periences with contractors,
and for the good of the mi
grants and the public welfare,
the business of farm labor
contracting must be regulated
sufficiently to promote re
spectable and ethical con
duct," Nilsen said.
He also urged support of
other legislation to allow the
government to extend loans
and insure private loans for
migrant worker housing.

were circulating petitions in

quick congressional action in
approving money for highway
construction.
The petitions were address

economical to continue the
highway program with the
use of emergency funds than
to shut down temporarily."
The petitions said even a
temporary shutdown, besides
creating new unemployment
