America's Quest Topic
Of Mrs. Neuberger's Talk
Ash land Mrs Maurine
Neuberger, Democratic candi
date for U.S. Senator, today
told a Southern Oregon col
lege audience that "America's
great quest in the 1960s mi'st
be to provide world leader
ship toward a bright future,
not the triggering of nuclear
holocaust."
"We arc now going through
an era of profound crisis, but
I am not a defeatist on the
question of meeting our chal
lenges," she declared. "I be
lieve the United States can
inspire and lead the way by
helping to banish poverty, di
sease, hunger and ignorance,
and by helping to create new
o p p o r tunities for personal
freedom, dignity and indi
vidual achievement."
Vrs. Neuberger said under
developed areas of Asia, Af
rica and Latin America "test
our good-will and capacity to
help down - trodden peoples
break out of the vicious circle
of hunger, disease and ignor
ance. II inese areata aie iu

GERALD SCANNELL JR.
The program that Gerald
J. Scannell Jr., Democratic
candidate for the office of dis
trict attorney in Jackson
county, advocates is the con
tinued expansion and en
largement of the non-support
collections, compelling pay
ment by fathers for child sup
port which in turn would les
sen the heavy tax burden in
welfare aid necessary at this
time for such children. '
The program would include
vigorous prosecution of crinv
inal matters, coupled with
the diligent protection of the
rights of the innocent, and
the continued functioning of
the office as an orderly law
(Continued on Page 11 A)
. The Republican candidate
called for "a tax system mov
ing toward some revision in
personal and .. corporate tax
rates, reform in depreciation
allowances, a broader base
for excises at a rate well be
low those now in effect, and
protection of state and muni
cipal revenues.
"These and other changes
would contribute substantial
ly to a better environment
for economic growth," Nixon
said.
The call for tax 'adjust
ments was part of a 12-point
program Nixon proposed to
foster the nation's economic
growth. V
Guards Against Inflation
To guard against the threat
of inflation, he said he would
set up "an early warning
economic . intelligence sys
tem. He said that with his
system the economy could be
protected "through flexible
use of fiscal and credit poli
cies, including tax adjust
ments if necessary."

offered not only because we
are opposed to the 'threat of
Communism but because we
are genuinely concerned
about them as fellow human
beings," she added.
Mrs. Neuberger expressed
hope that studies being con
ducted by the International
Cooperation administration on
formation of a Point Four
Youth corps" would lead to
establishment of a program to
train young Americans for
service throughout the world
in U.S. technical undertak
ings. The Point Four Youth
corps was a proposal intro
duced by her husband, the
late Sen. Richard L. Neuberg
er. "Economic assistance is
needed by under -developed
countries, but they can bene
fit even more if exposed to
the ideals of democracy," Mrs.
Neuberger declared. "Young
Americans would be effective
ambassadors without port
folio, while serving their
country in a stimulating way
and broadening their under
standing of the problems fac
ing other peoples and na
tions." .

Labor Relations
Trial Examiner
Renders Decision
Union Must Appeal
Within 20 Days
. Portland-(UPII-A National La
bor Relations Board trial ex
aminer has found the 11-
month Stereotypers Union
strike against the Oregon
Journal and the Oregonian il
legal, the newspapers reported
today.
They said Martin S. Ben
nett handed down the decision
in a 25-page report in San
Francisco Wednesday. He rul
ed that all major issues on
which the Stereotypers based
their strike were either illegal
or involved with illegal de
mands. Findings Binding
His decision sustained all
unfair labor practice charges
brought against the union by
the newspapers and by the
NLRB itself. The findings will
be binding on the union unless
it appeals them to the NLRB
in Washington within 20 days.
Rene Valentine, strike coor
dinator, said this would be
done. He withheld further
comment until he had com
pleted study of Bennett's re
port.
Bennett ordered the Port
land Stereotypers and Electro-
typers Union, Local 48, and its
international union to "cease
and desist from demanding or
striking" for demands that
foremen be union members,
acceptance of the union's
manning and substitution
clauses, and acceptance of the
union's constitution and laws.
The strike started Nov. 10,
1959, when about 60 Stereo
typers walked out and mem
bers of 10 other unions fol
lowed them. Of 830 strikers,
about 60 have returned to
their jobs.
Had Joined Forces
The newspapers tj 0 i n e d
forces the first day of the
strike and for five months
published a joint paper in the
Oregonian plant. They re
sumed separate publication
last April 17.
Bennett also ordered the
posting, of a notice of compli
ance with his findings in the
union's local and internation
al offices and in the stereo
type departments of . both
newspapers.
A major strike Issue was
the union's insistence that a
new automatic plate - casting
machine ordered, and since
installed, by the Oregonian
would require four men for
its operation. The Oregonian
claimed it required only a
single man.
Insisted Laws Prevail
Bennett found that the in
ternational Stereotyper Union
would not permit the Portland
local to determine the num
ber of men to handle the
machine, but insisted that its
general laws requiring four
men prevail. He also found
that the international would
not permit the local union to
take the dispute to arbitra
tion as suggested by the pub
lishers. As to the union's demand
that foremen iie members of
the union, Bennett said:
"Basically this reduces It
self to persistent efforts and
strike action by the respond
ents union to tie the foreman's
loyalty and obligation to
themselves rather than to his
employer."

Cuban Airplane!
Act Seen Plot
To Fake 'Incident'
Havana (UPD An informed
diplomatic source said today
that five Cuban- air force
fighter planes were painted
with U.S. Air Force insignia
over the week end at the
suburban military airport of
San Antonio de los Banos.
The source said it was pre
sumed that Cuba intended to
use the aircraft in a faked
incident" to strengthen the
Fidel Castro government
charge before the United Na
tions that the U.S. is prepar
ing an imminent armed in
vasion" of Cuba.'
The diplomatic source iden
tified the Cuban planes paint
ed over at the army airport as
single - engined British made
Sea Fury aircraft.
From Surplus Stocks
The planes were brought
from British war surplus
stocks several years ago by
the regime of ousted Dictator
Fulgencio Batista.
Five British technicians
hired by the Cuban govern
ment to service the Sea Fury
fighters at the army base were
discharged last week, the
source said. Their discharge
presumably was to pave the
way for an alteration of the
Cuban air force markings on
the craft.
Business sources said mean
while that the first effect of
the new U.S. embargo on ex
ports to Cuba would be felt
in the spare parts field. They
said continuing shortages
might shortly prove critical
in the Uansport, sugar and oil
industries.

Washington - HOT - The United States today recalled its
ambassador, Phillip W. Bonsai, from Cuba for "an extended
period of consultation."
A State Department spokesman said in announcing the
move "no date has been fixed for his return to Cuba."
There were indications he might stay here until January,
at which time the next administration might appoint a new
ambassador to Cuba.
Officials said the move does not amount to a break in
relations and the United States does intend to return an
ambassador to Havana at some time.
The move followed by one day a ban on U.S. exports to
Cuba except medical supplies and non-subsidized food'.' Of
ficials said the timing of these two actions was "a coinci
dence." The U.S. Embassy in Havana will be run temporarily

Secretary of Stale Howell

the welfare recovery program,

he favors "for the protection
of the taxpayer's hard-earned

Appling, speaking at a

charged that his Democratic
opponent, Monroe Swectland,
"has clearly demonstrated by
the fact that he twice fought
against this law that he is
even opposed to protecting
the people's money from
cheats and chiselers." '
Appling said that the wel

contribution to the present
fiscal soundness of the state
government."
"This is one of the reasons,"
he said, "why we now hava
a surplus of $35 million in
stead of the deficit our politi

is one of the reasons why
we now have been able to
recommend an increase in
basic school support and a
corresponding reduction in lo

the need for a 9 per cent tax
increase which my opponent
tried to inflict on the people."
Appling said that between
April, 1957, and June, 1958,
the state regained more than
$55,000 under the program.
Later, he said, collections
