antagonizes me.
MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD,: OREGON
Alice G. All during my
childhood I recall my mother
wintering, -uon i upset your
iduier. iou Know nis terrible
temper." 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.

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. Dun
can of Medford said he had

felt no pressure from the grow
ers in his district.
Some 300 braceros are used
each year in the Rogue River
Valley to harvest fruit. 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

corporation farms which use

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.
