Strand Outlines
Need for Building
Program in Schools
(Continued from Pas One)
Oregon and Oregon State are In
disrepair and fail to serve their
purpose aacquaieiy.
R C. Groesbcck. who intra
duccd Strand and is a member of
the state board of higher educa
tion, said that the matter of pro
viding adequate buildings should
be a problem for all the people
of the state, and the burden
should not be loaded upon the
shoulders of the boys and girls
who attend the schools. He
pointed out that construction
money must come from the peo
ple through the legislature.
I
The regular monthly meeting
of ' the postwar planning com
mittee was held Thursday night,
November 16, at the Pelican cafe
for dinner. The chief speaker of
the evening was E. P. Ivory,
who gave a survey of the prob
able future of. the lumber in
dustry in thus area. He pointed
out that if business were allowed
to run its natural course, a de
cided decline in income and pay
roll would result.
However, after painting this
pessimistic picture, Ivory offered
a few suggestions to counteract
this probability, and his talk
was followed by a general dis
cussion with questions and answers.
Roosevelt Thanks .
Cabinet Choosers
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17 (IP)
President Roosevelt saying he
didn't know whether he was be
ing sarcastic or ironical smil
ingly thanked the newspapers
and radio today for offering him
at least five new cabinets.
He commented at his news
conference when a reporter
asked him about speculation that
Postmaster General Frank C.
Walker plans to resign.
Leaning back in his chair with
a grin, the president said:
Between the press and radio
he has been offered five cabinets
none of them with the same peo
ple on them. That's awfully
good of the press and radio, he
said, and he wanted to thank
them all. Then, as an after
thought, he added he didn't know
whether that was sarcasm or
irony.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 17 (,D
A CIO vice president contended
today this nation's future largely
hinges on whether "decent
American wages are assured the
11,000.000 forgotten people" now
earning less than 65 cents an
hour.
Emil Ricve, who also Is presi
dent of the Textile Workers un
ion, testified before a special
senate subcommittee on wartime
health and education studying
legislation that would declare
straight-time wages of less than
65 cents an hour sub-standard.
Asserting when war plants
shift to civilian production and
cut down an overtime, "our na
tional salary and pavroll bill of
$90,000,000,000 will shrink to
about 570.000,000,000." Rievc
added: "The contraction In the
national payroll would start a
downward spiral winch would
result in another rationed cala
mity." Endorsing the pending bill as
a minimum step. Ricve said the
additional cost of a 65-ccnt mini
mum to the 1943 wage bill would
be 55,500,000.000.
"It will not in itself," he as
serted, "be adequate to close the
gap in buying power, but would
be a considerable contribution to
this end."
