So I walked around on tip-toe. Now I'm up against the same thing in my marriage. Nat managed to conceal his im patience in the six months I knew him before I married him. I though at last I'd be able to relax. Instead I still must pam per "the man of the house." Nathan G. I think Alice just tries to get my goat. Maybe she's trying to reform me be cause she couldn't reform her father. She seems to ask for the fireworks when she insists on doing the few things that make me see red. I like order and neatness, so it must be pure spite that makes Alice leave toothpaste uncapped, tear bread instead of slice it, and be gen erally messy. BAMBY BURGERS REG. 55c ONLY 25 BAMBY'S AT THE BIG Y THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY and SUNDAY The Council: In attemnt smoothe these turbulent matri monial waters, we can't help but bear in mind a definition of "expert" we came across re cently. He's "someone who is called in at the last minute to share the blame." What blame? Blame for a marriage after too short, too superficial an ac quaintance. . . A closer, eyes wide - open look might have prompted them to ask: Am I equipped to help? . . . But now that only foresight, not hind sight, can be useful, we say to Nathan: Losing one's temper is easy. But "getting mad" can be come a dead-end habit, solving nothing and abrading family re lations. Reduce your demands, be consistent about them, make sure Alice understands them. Then see how well you can con trol your emotional reins, rath er than let them control you. A slow boil can be effective, less destructive than your present spontaneous combustion. . , To Alice: Only a child would pour oil on a smouldering flame to stir up excitement. ? A loving, mature wife learns how to han dle combustible material.

Rep. Duncan Warns Rogue Growers To Make Plans for Domestic Labor By YVONNE FRANKLIN , Medford Mall Tribune Washington Bureau WASHINGTON - House ex-, tension of the law to import Mexican agricultural workers illustrates that farmers can still outvote the city slickers in Con gress, but it's getting harder all the time. Last Spring the House refused to approve a two-year extension of the program. Subsequently the Senate passed a one-year ex tension, and the House last Thursday followed suit by a 178 to 153 vote. There were contentions dur ing House debate that unprece dented pressure had been used to strongarm Congressmen to vote for extension of a bill which has been called "temporary" since the Korean war. The farm ers marshalled powerful sources to lobby Congress on their be half: the Farm Bureau, the American Cotton Council, the National Canners Association, fruit and vegetable growers and the pickle packers. Pressure Effective Such pressure proved effec tive, especially as Congressmen tend to protect the economic interests of their districts when vital job-making industries are at stake. Rep. Robert C.

Most other agricultural labor in Ore gon is local and domestic mi grants. Reps. Walter Norblad and Al Ullman supported the legislation, but ' Rep. Edith Green of Portland voted against the bill.' Church groups, the National Council of Churches, the Amer ican Friends and others, as well as labor unions, fought against extension of the law, contend ing that it is immoral to use foreign labor when there is growing agricultural unemploy ment. , Opponents claim that import ing braceros depresses Ameri can wages and prevents domes tic migrants from sharing in the benefits that are given to the Mexicans. The unions have also been trying to organize migrant workers so that the pay scale can be raised. Congressional critics of the law pointed out that the bracer os are given advantages which domestics aren't receiving: workmen's compensation, health and accident insurance, free housing, cost of transportation to and from jobs, guarantees of so much work, etc. Braceros also cannot be brought into areas which dis criminate against them because of their color. This has had the effect of the removal of signs on drinking fountains, restrooms and lunch counters in many a southern town caus ed by the influence of the large Washes 12 -Yes! 12 Dry Pounds!

In Oregon braceros in the Rogue River area average around $1.75 an hour: the na tional average for migrant la bor is 80 cents an hour. Dur ing House debate it was said that some southern states like Texas and ; Arkansas pay 60 cents an hour and that if high er wages were offered so that the American migrant could make a living then the braceros would not be needed. Duncan supported the bill with reluctance and warned the growers to make plans for the recruitment of domestic work ers, for he said the mood of the Congress is not to extend the controversial law further. This final one-year extension is regarded as a phasing out pe riod to allow farmers to plan for recriutment of workers with out the use of braceros. Duncan said that the Rogue Valley farmers had proved that they had made every effort to obtain domestic help before hir ing braceros. Duncan thought the growers should take steps to find alternative sources of labor "now" and "not wait un til there is an emergency." In an exchange of letters with R. G. Scearce, Secretary of the Hood Kiver Traffic Association, Duncan wrote: ". . . If the farmers don't move someone will have to. This is an old old story. Gov ernment shouldn't move and, ordinarily, doesn't move unless there is a breakdown on the part of the private interest to solve the problem themselves. . . ' bo many problems are in tne lap of the Federal Government now because of a breakdown in the private sector of our econ omy, and in the lower levels of government. This is not always their fault, as they are so fre quently circumscribed by a lack of financial resources to do the job." Agrees with Proposals Duncan agreed with the rec ommendations of Howard Fujii, Director of Commodities of the Oregon Farm' Bureau Federa tion at Salem, who proposed: 1. Development of farmer owned and controlled labor placement organizations to re cruit ana place larm worxers. 2. Personnel records would be developed by each employer and association that would follow the workers, or be provided with other associations to as sure qualification. 3. Special training should be provided for the jobs involved as maximum production is ob tained. 1 ' 4. Special emphasis must be made so that farmers maintain a good employe relations pro gram. Adjustments m pay must be made lor variations in crop or other conditions involved. Housing needs to be reviewed. Tenure and continuity of em ployment are important. Incen tives and fringe benefits should be part of the overall program. Fujii said that one farmer near Salem reported 80 to 90 per cent of his workers return each year. Some have been with him since he started farm ing and he credits this entirely to the attention paid to employe relations. Youths Removed From Bobby's Office WASHINGTON (UPI) - Six members of .the "Advance" youth organization, an alleged Communist front group, were dragged out of Atty. Gen. Rob ert F. Kennedy's office Tues day when they refused to leave at closing time. The members, one of them a girl, sought to present a peti tion to Kennedy asking that he halt proceedings before the Subversive Activities Control Board requiring "Advance" to register as a Communist front. John Nolan, administrative assistant to Kennedy, finally accepted the petition from the group's spokesman, Marvin Markman, 24, of the Bronx, N.Y. The group previously had refused to hand over the peti tions to anyone but Kennedy. Wood Is Returning To Automobiles NEW YORK (UPI) Wood Is coming back into automobiles in a plastic form.
