Committee's Task He told the committee, hold ing its first meeting bere today, that it must determine how and who should remove snags in the area, and bow a reforestation should be financed. It also should determine, he added f when logging should be permit-( ted on the burn, and whether! ownership should pass to a pub-1 lie agency. -Personally. I am opposed to; increased federal ownership of lands in our state." the governor declared. "The federal govern-1, ment now owns 56 per cent of ; the entire state and in recent i vears has been acquiring adds-; iional holdings at the rate of; 100.000 acres per year. "Vet by the same token. Ij have always favored federal- j state cooperation, particularly in connection with projects that j transcend state lines, or in those i case where the projects are ofj such magnitude that it is entire ly illogical or impractical for the state and local political sub divisions to undertake such acti vation.

Thus, Snell explained, the governor has no power over the forestry organization, but yet bears the responsibility.

"I had 20 mm. wounds in my head, neck, arms and an ear, and a broken ankle. My main gas tank blew up. I flipped the Corsair on her back, unfastened my safety belt and dropped 100 feet to the water, stunned. -My Mae West lifebelt failed to inflate and investigation re vealed 200 holes in it.

We endeavored to buy Radio Time to tell the public our itory but Io and behold, the Radio Station asks $5.00 a minute (5300.00 an hour) for the use of their Station. We are only working men and women and cannot afford the luxury of buying; such time. Men and women of this Community who work in the Camps and Mills started to organize to correct intolerable conditions and to bring wages up so a decent standard of living could be maintained. Seniority Rights was one of the biggest things the Working People wanted. These people asked that their jobs be protected by Seniority instead of "Boot-Licking" and "Favoritism." Seniority has been continually violated and many grievances could not be settled with these Companies, but mainly by the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company where the Strike started. These Companies tried to discourage people from joining the Union and many men feared losing their jobs. The workers tried to negotiate a Union Security Clause into their Contracts but were flatly refused. "IT IS ACAINST COMPANY POLICY." the men were told. Finally, the War Labor Board, a United States Government Agency, granted the present Union Security Clause. BUT THE COMPANIES REFUSED TO ABIDE BY THE RULES OF THE V. S. GOVERNMENT AGENCY and violated the Agreement many times. Time after time the Contracts were broken but because we were at War the men and women STAYED ON THE JOB FOR OVER A YEAR without getting some grievances settled. The last violation of the Contract was the "Straw that broke the Camel's back" and the Union Members are on Strike to sea that tht Campania comply with their working Agreements. The only way that we can be sure that the Companies are in GOOD FAITH IS for them to grant Union Security Clauses in their Contracts. This Strike can be settled now, but so far, the Pine Industrial Relations Committee, Inc. (the Union for the Companies) refuses to discuss the matter in the presence of the United States Conciliation Service a Government Agency set up for the purpose of settling Labor Disputes. The Companies say that they will not grant a Union Security Clause be cause some of the Employees do not want it. Where the Strike started in the Weyerhaeuser Camps, only- on man was against iti The Members of Local 6-12 challenge the Companies to put it up to a vote of their employees, whether they belong to the Union or not, if they want to return to work with a Union Shop Clause in their Contracts.

Slugjed With Bat "On March 7, 1944. I was transported to a secret navy camp in the country village of Una, Japan, for questioning. "It was here tnat I was given the baseball bat treatment. It consists of standing with your hands tied while a guard slugged my back and legs with the pat as hard as he could. Bly rump was so swollen I could see it over my shoulder. Then I got slugged in the jaw aoout i'ni times, simi lar beatings killed other prison ers in the camp. Jap Civilians Help "Even the Japanese civilians took part in administering the Oeatmgs. The baroer who shaved our heads every two months, de lighted in taking pokes at us. "A Japanese pharmacist mate saw 1st Lt, Bill Harris, the son of Maj. Gen. Phil Harris, who was - captured on Corregidor, reading an item about Russian INKA ItUphmai successes in Europe from a news paper he had fished from agar oage can. "The Jap called all prisoners into formation and then beat Harris for half an hour with a baseball bat. knocking him down 20 times. When Harris was fi nally knocked out, the Jap kicked him in the face and not and stomach with bit heavy shoes. "Harris recovered- "On April 5, thit year, I was transferred to Omon where po liteness was the order of the day. -We were required to bow to the emperor every morning and also to bow from the waist po- ; ?"1;,n,0 155 we had to seek out the guard and bow again, thanking him.

The marine ace. who still has boundless energy, but a jaun diced complexion, now weighs 160.
