Battle lines Shaping for Oregon Labor Bill
v'
FACES ASSAULT CHARGE Steve Solovich, 50, above,
who was taken into custody near Glide Wednesday, said
today he hoped he would not be returned to the Veterans
Hospital at Roseburg. Three deputy sheriffs took Solovich
into custody in mountainous country where the former
mental patient had roamed for more than a year. It was
his dislike of hospitals that forced him to walk from the
Roseburg facility three times in recent years. Solovich ex
pressed a desire to be deported to his native Yugoslavia. The
recluse was believed to be the person who shot Watson
Taclott in the shoulder recently while a posse was searching
for the man. (UPI Telephoto)
Spinster Testifies
In Espionage Case
London - (UPD - A spinster,
accused of stealing Britain's
highest naval secrets, went to
the witness box in the Old
Bailey Court today in an at
tempt to clear herself of
charges that she was a spy for
the Soviet Union.
Miss Ethel Elizabeth Gee,
46, an employee of the under
water weapons establishment
at the Portland Naval Base,
was the first defense witness.
S i r Reginald Manningham
Buller, attorney - general of
the realm, rested the crown's
case against Miss Gee and:
-Her financee, Henry F.
Houghton, also employed at
Portland.
-Gordon Arnold Lonsdale,
accused of obtaining secret
documents from Miss Gee and
Houghton.
-Peter John Kroger and his
wife, Helen, charged with
transmitting the secret docu
ments to Moscow. The FBI
in Washington has Identified
the Krogers as Morris and
Dora Cohen, formerly of New
York.
All morning Miss Gee had
taken a hammering from
prosecution witnesses who
testified that in her shopping
bag had been found film bear
ing photographs of more than
200 pages of a red-covered
book which contained naval
secrets vital to Britain and
NATO.
She showed the effects of it
when she went Into the wit
ness box. She took the oath in
a whisper. Her lawyer, James
Dunlop, delayed questioning
and asked the judge if Miss
Gee, contrary to British prac
tlme, could give her testimony
seated.
' Lord Parker, lord chief
justice of Great Britain, or
dered a chair to be brought
into the witness box.
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.

Gov. 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.

Educators Urge
Migrant Schooling
Salem (UPD Farmers and
educators urged the legisla
ture. Wednesday to enact an
expanded program for educat
ing some 5,000 migrant chil
dren that flood into Oregon
in the early spring and re
main until a u t u m n while
their parents work crops.
At the same time, the Sen
ate Education Committee
heard teachers express fear
that another bill, to permit
Saturday classes in Oregon,
might extend their work
week.
The measure (HB 1079) has
passed the house. It is aimed
primarily at classes such as
driver training.
Robert Jordon of the Ore
gon Federation of Teachers
asked the committee to
amend the bill so that Satur
day instruction would be vol
untary for teachers as well
as students.

vice president of the federa
tion, said a big concern is
commercial trolling near the
mouths of rivers where salm
on gather before heading up
stream to spawn.
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.
