Truman Blames
Eisenhower for
Battleship Site
Independence, Mo. - (UPP
Former President Harry S.
Truman Tuesday blamed for
mer President Dwight D. Ei
senhower for anchoring the
battleship Missouri, on whose
decks the Japanese surrender
was signed, in the Bremerton,
Wash., Navy Yard.
Truman, who advocates
moving the historic ship, an
swered Rep. Thomas M. Pelly
(R-Wash.), who earlier denied
Eisenhower's resp onsibility
for the Bremerton anchorage.
"He (Eisenhower) was commander-in-chief
and you know
and I know that no one else
but the commander-in-chief
was responsible," Truman
said.
The Missouri rides, at an
chor at the' Navy yard here
despite recent controversies
over proposals to move the
historic battleship to San
Francisco, New Orleans, St.
Louis or some large Atlantic
Coast cily.
In a letter to the Seattle
Post Intelligencer Monday,
Truman indicated strongly
this Pugct Sound NaVy city
was not the place for the
"Mighty Mo."
"I don't want to appear too
persistent in this matter but
it seems to . me that if the
former President Dwight D.
Eisenhower wanted to place
it in a closet he couldn't have
found a better place than the
Bremerton Navy Yard,'- Tru
man wrote.
u seems to me- mat me
battleship Missouri has been
nut as farm nwav frnm thi
public to sec as it could pos
sibly be," the former presi
dent wrote. "It should be
some place where it could be
seen by the most people.. The
best place, it sjoems to me, for
the battleship to be is either
in Brooklyn Navy Yard, the
Norfolk Navy Yard or in a
place in the San Francisco
Harbor."
Truman said he would pre
fer the Brooklyn Navy Yard
to San Francisco because the
Missouri's history started
there. The . Missouri was
launched at tile Brooklyn
yard Jan. 28, 1944, and was
christened by Truman's
daughter, Margaret, when he
was a U.S. senator. -' ',

Life-and-Death Balila.
Intensity of feeling, union
rivalry, prestige of age and
skill, and the long, creeping
shadow of automation are in
volved In the fight.
"Facing one of the most
crucial tests in its 112-year
history, our local is now en
gaged in a life-and-death bat
tle with the Publishers As
sociation of New York City
. . ." thus begins the current
official bulletin of Local No.
6 of the International Typo
graphical Union.
The publishers say, in an
advertisement: "The news
papers of New York City, are
faced with a question of sur
vival. A settlement of the
strike now going on must be
one that permits them to stay
in business ... to meet their
responsibilities to the com
munity and to preserve the
jobs of all their 20,000 em
ployees." Behind Editorial Workers
. There matters stand. The
union of printers, once the
industry's aristocrat, seems
bitterly determined to regain
its place in the sun-. In recent
years a union of editorial
workers has forged ahead of
pension
it in wages, hours,
and vacations.
The publishers have said
that going beyond the area of
their final offer "would surely
put some papers out of busi
ness." They offered a S9.20
weekly package increase over
two years which if applied to
all craft unions involved,
would cost $9 million in its
second year. They said the
package the printers proposed
15 minutes before the strike
amounted to $38 weekly per
man - and when applied to
all unions would increase an
nual costs $40 million on the
nine papers affected.
The strike was culled at 2
a.m. Dec. 8 by Local 6, and
17 days later it set a strike-

Thanks for coming
(In 1962 we welcomed 245,926 visitors to the Olympia Brewing Co.)
That's a lot df names in our visitors' book. And a lot of nice faces from just about every state. At Olympia,
we get a great deal of pleasure in showing our friends the kind of care we take to produce one of America's
truly fine beers. Your interest and your many questions about the brewing of Olympia Beer were greatly
appreciated. And a special bow to the ladies for their many compliments about our housekeeping. We
had a wonderful time with all of you and hope you will come again. The latchstring is always out.

- - . f ft
length record for New York
newspapers. It is the only
strike called by the printers
in the 65-year history of the
New York Publishers Associ
ation. Founded by Greeley
The local was founded in
1850 by Horace Greeley. The
last strike it had called here
prior to this one was 79 years
ago.
It is the biggest local, by
far, of the ITU, which is the
oldest trade union in the
United States and the princi
pal union in the printing
trades. The printers' biggest
job . are setting type - punch
ing the keys of a machine that
casts lines of type; and' make
up - the job of putting the
type into forms.
Local 6 has about 3. 700 men
in daily newspapers and about
6.000 in the so-called "book
and job" shops which do all
other types of commercial
printing - from magazines,
business forms, and financial
prospectuses to labels telling
you to shake- well - before
using, and the Holy Bible.
Abput 2,900 of these men
are on strike. The publishers
say the shutdown will last
until the union reduces its de
mands. Both sides say their
final proposal was made as a
basis for negotiations - not as
an inflexible demand. Each
accuses the other of Tcfusing
to negotiate further.

The actions came as the

Pay Hike for Portland

Supl. Mclvin Barnes has pro
posed salary hikes for Port
land teachers.
He told the school board
(here has been no basic change
In salaries for the past two
years and that is was brcoin
ina increasingly difficult to
recruit "teachers of good qual-1
ity."
Barnes suggested a starting
scale of $5,000 next fall for

the usually old patients, and
then assume that their trou

of their sex glands. Because
of this idea, the usual treat
ment has been with male and
female sex hormones. I am
sorry to say I haven t seen
any striking results obtained
from the giving of such hor
mones, or from the giving of
calcium and vitamin D, which
helps the body to utilize cal

I have often been impressed
with the fact that when a
woman's spine began to cave
in because of osteoporosis.
she was 60 or 70 or 80, not
50, as she rliould have been
if the disease were due to
the recent shrinking up of
her ovaries. I just could not
blame a very old woman's
osteoporosis on her meno
pause of perhaps 30 years be
fore. I can rcmcmbor that
when a good friend of mine,
the great surgeon Dr. Rudqlf
Matas, suffered a marked
caving in of his spine, he was
90. The question is, why did
the lime salts go out of his
bones at that time of his life?
Why also should the lime
have gone out in the case' of
the woman of 27, whose case
was recently reported by Drs.
Hall and Kennedy?
In 1958, Dr. W. P. U. Jack
son made a careful study of
"idiopathic osteoporosis"; he
considered all the proposed
theories in regard to the dis
ease and concluded that none
of them has proven to be sat
