The bill was introduced by Sen. Thomas H. Kuchel (R-Calif.) to stabilize the boundaries of the Tule Lake, Lower Klamath, and Upper Klamath National Wild life refuges, and assure their continued development and operation. The Senate Interior and In sular Affairs committee held a hearing on the bill on Feb. 23. Secretary of Interior Stew art L. Udall personally ap peared and spoke in favor of the bill as amended by his department. Wildlife and con servation organizations as well as sportsmen appeared in sup port of the bill. Oposition Noted The oposition came from the Klamath Basin Water Us ers P r o t e c tive association. Their proposals would provide for much of the best public shooting grounds to be dis posed of for private use. The bill is still in the hands of the Senate committee on Interior and Insular affairs. The local chapter feels that the bill will pass in the Sen ate without a dissenting vote if it could only be brought up for such action. The chapter is sending out 1,000 appeal letters in sup. port of S. 1988. ..; - AIRMAN HONORED Airman First Class Vernon L.

MEOFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. ORECOM Time . Today & Tomorrow By Walter Lippmann lei New York Herald Tribune Syndicate EXPLOSION IN THE STEEL INDUSTRY Coming so soon after the wage settlement, the decision of the United States Steel Corporation to raise its prices about $6 a ton has the look of a defiant repudiation of the basic un d e rstandings. For it rested on the as sumption that there would be no rise in steel prices if Lippmann the new benefits for labor were well within the current increase of productivity. There was to be industrial peace resting on non-inflationary prices and wages. This assumption has now been shattered, and it must be said, shattered rudely by the decision of the company made without previous notice to or consultation with anyone speaking for the consumers and for the national interest. THE arbitrary manner of the company's action is per haps the most objectionable thing about it. We had come to think that in the administra tion of the price and wage policies of the giant semi monopolistic industries, it was now recognized that there are many parties at interest who have a right to be consulted Thus it is the law that the great industrial labor unions cannot strike without notice, and that they must submit to a peaceable mediation and consultation before they strike. We had come to think that without a specific law, the same principle applied to the price policies of those in dustries, like steel, which have such great impact upon the whole American economy. In one way or another, the steel company will have to be induced to treat the price increase not as an accom plished fact which must not be discussed, but as something to be discussed in the light of the public interest. YET all of this is superficial as compared with the deep issue that has so dramatical ly been brought to the sur face. We may rule out the idea that the management of the company has suddenly been afflicted by an access of greed. The case of the steel com pany is that it must make more profit in order to earn enough money for capital in vestment to modernize the in dustry. The explanation says in effect that the American steel industry is competing OPEN 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday thru Saturday Southern Oregon Peace Officers Assn.

Medford Armory Wed., April 18, 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. Children & Students 75c - Adults $1.25 By Jimmy Hatlo with European producers who have built modern plants since the war, and it is com peting with other industries, here and a b o a d, such as aluminum for example, which are able to undersell it. The problem of obsoles cence and of modernization is a key problem in the country today, and it applies not only to steel but to many other industries, for example to tex tiles. The American economy was pre-eminent in the world in the years after the war. While Europe and Japan were still prostrated and their pre-war industries looted or destroyed, the world market for American goods was lim ited, one might say, only by the size of the grants and loans which we were willing to make to foreign purchasers. But while Europe and Japan were rebuilding their ruined industries, we rested on a com paratively low rate of capital investment and enjoyed an enormous production of con sumer goods. NOW, along with the British, who have a similar prob-1 lem, we find ourselves with a comparatively low rate of growth due mainly to our low rate of capital investment'and, in many key industries, such as steel, with a comparatively obsolescent plant. This, if I read it correctly, Is the situation which has be come so acute, that the com pany management felt itself driven to its rude and arbi trary rush for relief. In deal ing with the company action, the administration and public opinion should address them selves not only to the bad manners and to the question whether a rise In prices is an answer to the problem. They should address themselves also to the grinding reality of our declining industrial suprema cy, which is at the root of the whole affair. 4-H NEWS Lake Creek Swine Club The Lake Creek Swine 4-H club met recently at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Melvin John ston.
