Farm Program Suggestions To Cut Surpluses Lacking In JFK's Message (Continued from Pag I) The President's message contained no specific sugges tions for programs to reduce government surpluses of wheat and feed grains, which account for $7.8 billion of the government's $B-4 billion farm surplus stockpile. The administration feels that if Congress acts quickly, new programs for these grains can be proposed within the framework of the Kennedy plan in time to affect 1962 crops. Tentative plans al ready have been drafted by advisory groups. But If Congress fails to act quickly enough-a strong pos sibility In view of the contro versial nature of the over-all program - the administration will submit separate lcgisla tlon for wheat and feed grains, Administration f a v ore d plans for wheat and feed grains were understood to in volve planting cutbacks with rental payments to producers for idled land. In the case of wheat, the administration plan also would Involve bush el marketing controls. Kennedy's new proposal would authorize development of control programs for all farm commodities. This could open the way to marketing control programs for beef, pork, and other presently un controlled and nonsupported commodities if producers wanted to adopt them. Blanket Authorization Under the Kennedy plan. Congress would give blanket authorization for election of notional farmer advisory com mittees for all commodities for which new marketing con trol programs are planned. The committees, working with the secretary of agricul ture, would draft control and price support plans under terms of broadened legislative authority which Kennedy also requested in his message. The broadened authority would allow programs Includ ing direct "Brannan Plan" in come payments to farmers who sell crops at free-market prices. Farmer committees also would be authorized to pro pose regional and national commodity marketing orders. and marketing quota controls fixed in terms of bushels, bales, or pounds. i lie committees could use Income support measures In cluding price support loans, government commodity pay ments, export payments, ot two-prlco systems In which farmers get a high price for domestic production and a low price for export sales. AFL-CIO Speaker Says Legislation Unneeded in State Salem - (UPD - Labor and management In Oregon drew battle lines Wednesday on the "Little Landrum-Griffin" bill which an employer spokesman said would set fair rules to replace the "brute force" now used to settle difference be tween the two on the state level. Donald Richardson of the Oregon AFL-CIO disagreed, and said rules that are good for General Motors on the federal level are not neces sarily suitable for the corner drugstore in Oregon. He said the legislation Is unnecessary since labor-man agement relations in Oregon are good now. The testimony before the Senate State and Federal Af fairs committee came on SB 206 to define unfair labor practices and set up a state board to rule on disputes. Rulings would be subject to court appeal. Effect of the bill would be to extend federal labor laws to thousands of small Oregon businesses which are exclud ed from federal jurisdiction One section would restrict picketing and prohibit the secondary boycott which Wll- 1 1 a m Lubcrsky, Associated Oregon Industries spokesman, said now permits labor to get a "stranglehold on the inno cent bystander" during strikes against another business. , Lubersky said it would pro vide rules, rights and protec tion both for employers and employes. Richard Carney- of the Teamsters Union called this "almost a laughable state ment" as far as workingman is concerned. James Marr, AFL-CIO, said if the bill were passed It would make the present good labor management climate de teriorate. "Nothing in Oregon warrants this bill," he said.

Hatfield Opposes Commercial Fishing Ban Within Three-Mile Limit Salem-UPI)-Gov. Mark Hat field went on record Wednes day against a bill that would deny commercial fishermen the privilege of fishing within the 3-mile limit on the Ore gon coast. By doing so he invited the wrath of sports fishermen who sponsored the bill, HB1S88. His position was presented before the House Fish and Game committee Wednesday afternoon by Dan Allen, chair man of the Governor's Advis ory Committee on Natural Resources. Allen said Hatfield's basic reason for opposing the bill is that he doesn't feel the legis lature should step into an area better regulated by the Oregon Fish and Game Com missions, which can probe the matter on the basis of biolog ical and scientific considera tions. The governor said both In terests should work together for a solution, cpsecially in view of the decline in salmon. Rep. William Holmstrom, concurring with Hatfield, de scribed the bill as an attempt to "eliminate a legitimate in dustry by another group." The Gearhart Democrat said if commercial fishermen are to be banned, then so should sports fishermen. ,The Oregon Wildlife Fed eration, Columbia River Sportsmens Council and Port land Spin Club spoke for the bill.

Rep. Thomas McClellan (D- Neotsu) said sports fishermen take plenty of these fish them selves. In another salmon develop ment, Rep. Robert Elfstrom (R-Salem) proposed a $1 mil lion sum to help restore the salmon resource. Elfstrom said the plan should concen trate on coastal streams. Fellow members of the House Fish and Game commit tee voted to call a meeting next Monday night with fish and game officials. Holmstrom, commenting on a bill to make Washington fishing licenses valid on the Columbia river, said there still were some questions which needed answering. He said one was to define wheth er the legislation pertains to salmon or any fish and anoth er was to determine whether landing laws of the two states jibe. The bill is an outgrowth of arrests made by Oregon state police. SEE WE HAVE MOVED.. To A Larger Store CROSIER APPLIANCE for the FINEST , . .
