A five-cent raise wus given both AFL and CIO workers In this area several weeks ugo mid the money In being paid, but the wngp stabilization office In Se attle hud recoiniiicniled to Steel nun's odco thut three and a half cents of the rnlac be ap proved by thut ngency.

' When people ask whot the government of the United Stoles k It is you," he told tho boys, drawn here from all parts of the country by the American Legion. "The government Is the people. We only represent what we believe to be the opinion of the majority of the people. When I act as president of the United States, when we act as senators, when we act as con gressmen, we are merely ex pressing what we believe to be the views of the majority "When the majority is over turned, the other fellow gets a chance to express his views And that la what constitutes a re public." Saying he has studied the American government since he was a teen-ager himself, Mr. Truman added; "I don't think a finer system has ever been cicated in the history of tho world." Morse Commends Byrnes' Record WASHINGTON, Aug. 0 (VP) Senator Morse (R-Ore.)

"We haven't fmiKlit to dictate to a freo world, or to have one of our allies dictate to us," Byrnes nuid. "We are not going to gang up against any nation. We will make concessions but we will not make all the concenninns." The conference voted down IS to 8 the Kunniiin move to re quire a two-lhlrda vote for adoption of all conference rec ommendiilionn.

Byrnes, In his attack upon the Russian voting plan, de scribed as "loose and wicked talk" a Soviet charge that vot ing procedure for the confer ence was directed by an "Anglo-Saxon bloc." "Whence comes this talk of blocs?" Byrnes asked. "By what right do those who vote, ballot after ballot, with the Soviet Union, call those of us who do not always agree with the Soviet Union a blocT "In our efforts during the pant year to make peace and to make peace secure, we have found time and again the rule of unnnlmlty insisted upon not to secure unanimity, not to se cure common agreement, but to block action."

Discussion of the sidetracked Albanian bid was renewed yes terday at the request of Soviet Representative Alcxel N.

Then It goes on to say that Fremont was camped on the west side of Klamath lake on Denny creek, named after one of his scouts, and there he was attacked by Klamath Indians, On May 8, Fre mont says that in December, 1843, he met a Klamath chief, and was promising himself a meeting again wilh him, and that at the south end of Klamath lake he was told by Klamath Indiana that he was a short dis tance from a large village where he might find his friend. Up to this time the Klamath Indians had not met any white people in this area, and therefore had no occasion to molest white peo ple going through.

Transportation to the Bunker Hill was almost completely cut off last night when officers halted the water taxi fleet serv ing the ship. A few water taxis, not impounded, made some trips and returned with patrons but by early morning only one of the small boats was operat ing. The lone taxi has a ca pacity of 60 passengers and the roundtrip takes two hours. A throng of persons was lined up on the Bunker Hill's land ing platform, somewhat be wildered by developments and hoDinu for a chance to get home. Others .' continued to gamble. There waa plenty' of food and the bar was fairly busy. There waa a lack of chairs on board and some dozed standing up. Cries of 'They can't do this to us" "Where is Admiral Cornero?" "I'll never come on another gambling ship" "Break out the lifeboats and let's swim for it," were heard by reporters from the crowd on the landing platform. Cornero, arrested earlier and released on bond, told officials: "You've impounded the boats (water taxis). You get the pa trons off." Few Precinct Aspirants File With only two more days in which to file, the preponder ance of posts on the democratic and republican committees in Klamath county are going beg ging. Each precinct is allowed two committeemen, a man and a woman, on the central or ganization, and only four per sons, all democrats, have filed for the elective offices yet. The filing deadline for the posts is 5 p. m. Monday, Au gust 12. The central committee is the local heart of each political party and the extreme disinter est and lassitude in party poli tics at present is evidenced by the lack of candidates for these committee memberships. Democrats filed so far to have their names on the No vember ballot are: M. G. Brunncr, 2214 Recla mation, precinct 17; Arthur D. Howell, 2530 Ebcrlcin, precinct 16: A. A.

Aug. 9 OP) President Harry Bridges of the CIO Longshoremen's union today charged that the fact-finding board investigating a Coos Bay, Ore., jurisdictional dispute "had worked a deal and is ready to hand down a rigged report." He issued a statement saying "the so-called fact-finding com mission is going to hand down a report attempting to force the longshoremen at Coos Bay to work the Melio Franco de spite the legitimate picket line established by three-: sister unions. Hubert Wyckoff, chairman of the three-man panel named by the secretary of labor, com mented: I surely don t Know where he got his information. The report won't be completed until next week." The dispute developed last June after the three unions of the ClO-led committee for mari time unity charged owners of the Mello Franco had signed a "backdoor" contract with the AFL Sailors' Union of the Pa cific. CIO longshoremen refused to work the vessel, and AFL sail ors tied up the port of Coos Bay. Yesterday the steamship company announced the vessel would be laid up and its crew paid off. USDA Increases Potato Estimates The agriculture depaitment today boosted its estimate on the national potato crop to 445.023, 000 bushels. .

The national barley crop esti mate also is up over the July 10 estimate. The new figure is 250. 820,000 bushels, as compared with 230,278,000 bushels pre viously estimated. Last year's barley total was 263.961,000 and the 10-year average is 289,598,000.

Indian reservation as their per manent home, otherwise they would have been removed to other lands the same as other Indians who retaliated and at tacked the whites. Quotations from Fremont's memoirs are very Inconsistent and mar the excellent reputation of the Klamath Indians and should be removed, although lit tle can be done now about Fre mont's mistakes. However, it is plain that per haps many such Incidents have occurred as Fremont tates that he was attacked on the west side of the lake and to nunlsh the Indians he attacked Indians in another area; in other words he sought to punish some Indians not guilty of attacking, killing WEATHER NEWS AofNit t, 1 Mam. rAHfsjft . ..

It was signed by Mr. Truman at a mid-day White House cere mony. This - was attended by Gen. Omar Bradley, veterans admin istrator, representatives of the American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Disabled Vet erans and other service organ izations, and by Reps. Rogers (D-Fla.), Riley (D-S.C.) and Price (D-Fla.). Answering a frequently asked question, the war department said today that a veteran who saw service both in the ranks and as an officer may claim re imbursement for leave time he failed to use when be was an enlisted man. The aggregate leave for both commissioned and enlisted service may not exceed 120 days, however.

At the same time, unemploy ment went down to the lowest figure for 1946 at a total of 2, 270.000, but this too, was a big increase over July a year ago, just before the Japanese sur render, when 830,000 were hunt ing Jobs.
