PilOH Rebukes Labor, Management
Governor Warns
Economic Trouble
Due This Summer
Program Slated to
End Work Stoppages
Salem (UPD A stinging re
buke of labor-management in
terests for abandoning an
agreement on voluntary set
tlement of labor disputes, and
a warning of "economic rack
and ruin" facing Oregon this
summer, was issued today by
Gov. Mark Hatfield in a spe
cial message to the Legisla
ture. The message also included
labor-managements' alternate
to the earlier plan, and a pol
icy suggestion by the
governor.
Hatfield also revealed he
had been working on a pro
gram to halt work stoppages
on state projects.
The governor also called
for "single anniversary dates"
to be established for negotiat
ing industry-wide contracts.
Another Cloud
Hatfield warned, "Today I
would give the most possible
emphasis to another cloud on
the horizon - the repetition of
a shutdown of the construc
tion industry in the summer
of 1963 . . , I would be remiss
if I did not alert you to what
may lie ahead unless we find
solutions."
The governor called for
"action which will facilitate
both free collective bargain
ing and protection of the pub
lic interest."
The message revealed that
both labor and management
members of the 1961 gover
nor's commission which pro
posed a voluntary labor-management
relations mediation
board had switched positions
and rejected the idea.
"I have been informed by
spokesmen for both the asso
ciated general contractors
and for the construction
crafts that they do not sup
port this concept . , . and I'
have even been told that
there is nothing the Legisla
ture could write in this area
(because of the interstate as
pects) that would be heeded,"
Hatfield said.
Under Consideration
A bill to create the gover
nor's labor-management rela
tions committee as suggested
by the governor's commission
and the interim committee is
now under consideration by
the legislature.
The governor said "When
I learned there was a repudia
tion of the proposal ... I pre
vailed upon the primary con
struction unions and the asso
ciated general contractors to
suggest a workable alterna
tive." The alternative proposal
calls for an "Oregon construc
tion labor-management com
mittee" made up of labor and
management representatives.
Labor would be represent
ed by a member from the
teamsters, pile-drivers, car
penters (including mill
wrights, hoisting and portable
engineers, cement finishers,
laborers and ironworkers.
On the management side
would be an equal number
nppointed by the Portland
chapter of the associated gen
eral contractors.

Perennial Green
Stamp War Begins
Salem lliPH The perennial
Green Stamp war formally
began Thursday.
A leading stamp firm
warned a proposed bill would
"effectively stop the use of
trading stamps in Oregon."
The bill, sponsored by Rep.
Eugene Hulctt (D-E u g e n e)
would require stamp firms to
issue stamps to any merchant
who wants, them. It also
would require a stamp com
pany to pay a S5.000 annual
license fee to any county in
which the company does
business.
John Howarth, district
manager of the Sperr and
Hutchinson Stamp Company,
said the bill would not regu
late, but in fact would end
the use of stamps in the state.

ers, Cordy explained, voicing
the hope that cold weather
may change the picture.
This has happened in other
years when early indications
were that trees would be in
full bloom and the fruit form
ed two weeks in advance of
normal.
The ground is still too wet
for application of dormant
spray, for installation of heat
ers in many orchards; and
pruning has not been complet
ed. An early bloom means a
longer frost season and al
though statistics show that
this does not always mean
that orchard heating will be
required over a longer period
of time, it does mean that
nights will be colder and the
heating period more intensive.
Done Before Bloom
In order for pruning to
have the desired stimulative
effect upon the crop it must
be done before orchards are
in bloom, Cordy said.
In 1941 when the fruit crop
was the earliest on record in
the Rogue valley, the pear
buds were at approximately
the same stage they are today
at the same date, the county
agent recalled; In 1958, how
ever, the buds were develop
ed in the same manner and
cooler weather came to the
rescue and the crop was ready
for harvesting at "almost nor
mal times."
Bill Rogers, federal frost
expert, who directs the warn
ing service during the danger
season, is scheduled to arrive
in the Rogue valley betwen
March 7 and 10. He usually
starts the season about March
15.

Publishers Plan
Firm Stand in
Newspaper Strike
New York - IUP1I - Publish
ers planned to stand firm to
day in reopened joint nego
tiations with striking print
ers despite the New York
Post s decision to leave their
ranks and resume publica
tion. The Post was one of five
papers which had voluntari
ly shut down when printers
struck four others. Mrs. Doro
thy Schiff, Post publisher, an
nounced Thursday night that
her paper would reappear on
the stands Monday under a
"day by day" arrangement
with the printers.
Cross Bridge
"I think this strike has gone
on long enough," she said. "I
don't see any immediate set
tlement in sight." No separate
settlement with the printers
will be made by the Post, she
said. "We'll cross that bridge
when we come to it."
Bertram Powers, president
of the striking Local 6 of
the International Typhograph
ical Union (ITU) said he
thought Mrs. Sch ill's deci
sion would "speed up the
settlement of the strike."
The Publishers Association
of New York (NYPA), which
had called the strike a "test
of economic strength," had
based its strategy in the dis
pute on closing down all pa
pers if any were struck.

Red Chinese Hit
Khrushchev with
Hard Party Line
Italian Official
Used as 'Cover'
Tokyo - UPB - Communist
China blasted Soviet Premier
Nikita Khrushchev again to
day with its massive defense
of its "hard line" commu
nism in which it has charged
the United States with try
ing to build an empire among
the Western and neutral na
tions. In the second installment
of a marathon exposition of
Pckin's views in its ideologi
cal struggle with Moscow,
Red China accused Khrush
chev and other critics of
claiming that "they alone are
the 'reincarnations of Len
in.' "
EighlPart Article
Radio Peking and the New
China news agency began
broadcasting simultaneously
tonight the second of an eight
part article on the issue in
Fred Flag, official theoreti
cal journal of the Chinese
Communist party.
As in the first installment
broadcast Thursday, the ar
ticle uses Italian Communist
party boss Palmiro Togliatti
as its target. But its real ob
jective was a denunciation of
Khrushchev and his policy of
peaceful coexistence with the
West.
The second part, quoting
statements by Chinese leader
Mao Tse-tung and V. I. Len
in, immediately launched into
a new defense of Peking's
contention that wars are in
evitable as long as capital
ism thrives.
No Coexistence
It said there can be no
peaceful coexistence between
the Communist and capitalist
worlds, as Khrushchev has
contended.
"Does this sort of peace
and peaceful coexistence imply-
that - the ' U.S. ' Imperial
ists will voluntarily lay down
their arms and disband their
troops?" it asked.
In the first part ef their
Red Flag defense, the Chi
nese Reds also accused Khru
shchev of responsibility for
the ideological dispute in the
Communist world.
They described him as an
"opulent and lordly philan
thropist" who is betraying the
basic tenet of Marxism-Leninism.
$630,000 Collected
In Hospital Drive
Paul W. Ha viland, general

tee has now accumulated $45,-

It was also suggested that
any people who have not yet
taken part in the program
may do so by contacting the
Development Office at Sacred
Heart hospital, telephone 773

Game Commission
Measures Approved
Salem -WPD- Two controver
sial measures calling for an
investigation of State Came
commission activities were
unanimously approved Thurs
day by the Senate State and
Federal Affairs committee.
They call for an interim
legislative committee to study
the commission and its activi
ties over the next two years.
The study would be financed
by S35.000 from commission
funds. The bill also must go
to the Ways and Means com
mittee. A group of sportsmen has
complained bitterly thai the
commission's manage men)
policies are letting deer and
elk herds vanish.
The commission and sports
men who support it have ex
pressed willingness for a

point, however, has been the
proposal to finance the study
with commission money.
MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY. MARCH 1,
Moderate
Tax Change Seen
In Legislature
Salem - (DPI) - A moderate
income tax route will be
taken this year as the way
out of Oregon's immediate
tax troubles, 14 members of
the house and senate tax com
mittees indicated Thursday
night.
In an informal expression
of opinion, most of the nine
representatives and five sen
ators said they are not in
the mood for anything dras
tic. Nine of the 14 rejected a
sales tax.
They indicated a broader
income tax base may well
be accompanied by a cigarette
Delinquent Tax
List Received by
Sheriffs Office
A 42-page list of 1962 de
linquent personal properly
tax accounts has been receiv
ed by the Jackson county
sheriff from the assessor's of
fice, District Attorney Alan
E. Holmes has reported.
The list includes the names
and accounts of all taxpayers
to whom personal property
taxes were assessed as of Jan.
1, 1962. The due date for at
least one fourth of the tax as
sessment was Nov. 15, 1962,
and the taxes became delin
quent for non payment on
that date.
Oregon law requires the
publication of the entire list
four times at "no little ex
pense to the county and some
embarrassment to taxpayers
who have overlooked paying
these taxes." the district at
torney' stated." ' '
Suggest Paying Taxes
In order to avoid publica
tion of the delinquency, it is
requested all persons, firms
or corporations involved pay
to the sheriff as tax collector
the full amount of principal
and interest due within the
next 10 days.
After that time, publica
tion of the delinquent list
will be started and cannot be
altered during publication.
After publication the delin
quent tax warrants will be
filed with the county clerk
and will become a judgment
lien on all personal and real
property of the taxpayer,
bearing interest at the rate of
6 per cent per annum until
paid together with costs
paid together with costs borne
by the county in the proceed
ings. The district attorney em
phasized that it is the sincere
hope of county officials that
the delinquency list will be
reduced in size.
Talent Boy Burned
When Fire Backfires
"Talent-Terry Rch, 11-year-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. Vern
on Reh, Foss rd., was burned
Wednesday night when he
threw a bucket of oil on a
fire in a wood stove.
The fire backfired, burned
the boy and ignited a nearby
chair. There was damage to
the chair, wall and window,
and smoke damage through
out the house, according to
reports.
The boy's parents were in
Klamath Falls at the time.
His 12-year-old sister, home
with him, ran to a neighbor's
house to get help. The Talent
rural and city fire depart
ments responded.
The boy was treated at Ash

held for the two committees
to get together on tax poli
cy as they try to raise some

nal figure depends on the
legislature's success in budget-cutting.

All the tax revenue bills
are in the house committee.
Final Product
Not all of the members
gave their views on various
income taxes. But most of
those who did indicated the
final product will broaden
the tax base to pick up new
taxpayers, and perhaps ad
just rates, but without far
reaching changes in the pres
ent personal income tax
laws.
They indicated the compro
mise will contain features of
the moderate Musa plan and
the governor's more radical
net receipts plan.
The committee members,
prodded by Sen. Walter Pear
son (D-Portland), dwelt at
length on the property tax
burden in Oregon.
Pearson, one of two sales
tax champions present from
the senate side, said it was
time for Oregon to turn to a
third tax base, the sales tax,
to relieve local property tax
payers without overburden
ing income taxpayers.

CIA Chief Makes
Prediction Before
Senate Committee
Castro Pressure
Makes Small Gains
Washlngton-m-Central In
telligence Agency Director
John A. McCone has told con
gressmen he sees little hope
for an internal uprising in
Cuba, it was disclosed today.
Rep. Armistead Selden (D-
Ala.) chairman of the subcom
mittee on Communist suber-
sion in Latin America, report
ed McCone's pessimistic view
to newsmen in releasing a
transcript of the CIA chief's
closed-door testimony before
mo subcommittee last week.
No Mention
The transcript, considerably
censored for security reasons,
made no mention of a possible
overturn of the Fidel Castro
regime ai the hands of the Cu
ban people. But a reporter
asked Selden if McCone had
held out hope for such an up
rising, and Selden said he had
not.
Cuba is a police state."
Selden said. ' Under the pres
ent circumstances it would be
extremely difficult for an un
armed popuation to rise. The
chances are not good."
Defense Secretary Robert
S. McNamara said Thursday
the United States would not
stand by and tolerate use of
the Soviet garrison in Cuba
to quell a rebellion on the is
land. '
Not Allow .
McNamara said at a news
conference that this country
would not allow the Russian
soldiers to put down an in
ternal uprising, let alone
launch' an attack against an
other nation.
McCone told Selden's sub
committee that "great" sub
versive pressure is being ex
erted through the Castro re
gime on all Latin America but
that "so far" this had had
only limited success.
His testimony indicated
that between-1,000 and 1,500
persons from all other Latin
American countries came to
Cuba for- indoctrination and
training In 1962, with the
largest contingents from Ven

The Oregon Washinelon
Telephone company plans to

Utility commissioner for a

The new rates would in

5.63 per cent annually.
The increase is necessary
to bring the company rate of

level which will support the

of steadily rising costs, the
