Arm Of The Law Reaches Into The Air
dav. County Agent James Keycs
said, and started to tall slow
ly. More than 500 workers
started today's round of the
struggle with the water level
at 30 feet.
Enainnrs From Fort Lewis
The expected arrival of the
first contingent of 550 men
from the 1154th combat en
gineers at Fort Lewis, Wash.,
promised relief for farm fam
ilies who have gone sleepless
four nights, Keyes said.
A small group of farmers
who yesterday dug a trench
straight down into a weaken
ing dike to plug a leak while
the water pushed at the silty
banks 18 feet above them would
be assigned reinforcements from
the soldier contingent. Keyes
said. Their dangerous feat, he
said, held intact one of the
weakest links in the dike sys
tem after the task was con
sidered virtually hopeless.
Maj. V. C. High, executive
officer, said at Fort Lewis that
the fresh troops would bring
with them bulldozers to rein
force the heavy equipment
crews from Geiger field, Spo
kane. The 350 soldiers started
their 18-hour trek to the river
last night. Another 100 were
scheduled to leave at noon to
day, and 100 more will depart
Monday if they are needed.
Rivtr Drop Expected
Keyes said he expected the
river to drop slowly, even if
warm weather does not start it
rising again. The steady pres
sure on the crumbling banks
maintains a constant threat of a
breakthrough even if the water
remains below the dike tops.
he said.
One dike on the west side of
the river was reported being
held in place by farmers fight
ing for their land when a
messenger finally reached here.
The district had been isolated
when two ferries washed out
and no help could be sent to
the weary crew there, Keyes
said.
The Columbia river flooded
10,000 acres of land between
Vancouver and Ridgef ield.
Wash., as the water level neared
its predicted crest. Some cat
tle were removed from islands.
A mile-long stretch of road was
covered by water four to six
feet deep, and residents of sev
eral communities below Grand
Coulee dam continued placing
sandbags to protect their homes.
Puget Sound
Lumber Raise
SEATTLE, June 1 UP)
Eighteen thousand Puget Sound
AFL lumber workers yesterday
were granted a 5 cent an hour
wage increase bringing their
minimum hourly pay to SI. 10.
The increase is retroactive to
April 1. and went to 8000 mill
workers, loggers of the Puget
Sound district council of the
AFL-Lumber and Sawmill Work
ers' union, approximately 10,000
plywood, box shook and door
factory workers of the same

Pacific northwest CIO loggers
and mill workers won a five cent
an hour wage increase earlier
this week.
The lumbermen's industrial re
lations committee said it would
submit the new agreement to the
wage stabilization board for ap
proval, indicating an appeal was
being prepared for a lumber
price rise.
The agreement ended more
than 10 weeks negotiations be
tween the union and the lumber
men's industrial relations com
mittee. Union locals still are to
vote on the increase, but opera
tors said they believe the union
would find it acceptable.

But first you must put away

He arose to take up in your
heart and make you rich with
Himself.
That Blackest Sin Is to close
your heart against Him. So it

Klamath Falls. Ore.
The city will take over ac

well as business experience.

Yets Can Get
Surplus Blanks
Veterans' application blanks
to purchase surplus property for
their own personal use are now
available in every selective
board office in Oregon, Hugh
E. Rosson, director of Veterans'
Affairs, announced today.
The new certificates, distrib
uted by the war assets admin
istration through state selective
service headquarters, enable
World War II veterans to pur
chase certain materials set
aside expressly for their pur
chase by provisions of the re
cent surplus property act
amendment in congress, Rosson
said.
The veteran must certify that
he is purchasing the property
for his own personal use and
not for resale, according to the
act.
Items set aside for personal
use purchase Include a limited
number of typewriters, new and
used passenger cars, dental and
medical equipment, trucks up
to two and one-half tons. Jeeps,
tractors, plows, and construc
tion, mining and excavating
machinery.
In setting aside this equip
ment by the recent act, Lt. Gen.
Edmund B. Gregory, war assets
administrator, warned that "all
of these items are in extremely
short supply. It follows that
there simply will not be enough
to meet veterans' demand. But
what there is in surplus on the
set-aside list will go to veterans
and to no one else."
Rosson said Oregon veterans
should go to their local draft
boards and apply on blue form

Negroes Ask
U.N. To Halt
'Oppression'
DETROIT. Juno 1 (V) The
National Negro congress- today
asked tho United Nations to in
tervene to hull "oppiesslun" ol
13,000,000 American negroes.
In a letter to Trygve Lie, sec
retary general of tint UN securi
ty council, the 101)0 delegates
went on record expressing "pro
found regret that we, u section
of the negro people, having
fulled to bring relief from op
pression through constitutional
upiH-ul, find ourselves forced to
bring this vital issue which we
have sought fur almost a cen
tury since eniiinclputlnn to solve
within the boundary of our
country to tho attention of tills
historic body."
In a companion itic.isuge lo
President Truiuun, the congress
termed its UN anneal "an his
torical moment In the life of the
nation.
Patted Unanimously
The congress acted unanimous
ly after Its executive board n
proved the petition to the United
! Nations.
An clght-puge documented
brief, compiled by Dr. Herbert
Apelheker, n member of tlte
American Historical society, was
introduced in support of the con
tention that negroes in the Unit
ed Sillies liro oppressed.
The congress petitioned under
article 71 of the United Nations
charter, which permits minori
ties to seek assistance in "pre
vention of discrimination on the
ground of race."
Dr. Apetheker chorgod, In his
documents, that 13,000.000 ne
groes in the United States arc
restricted to "second-class citi
zenship, and subjugated to a
brutal system of oppression and
discrimination based upon the
Inhuman uvscirnlific fascist
