ALLH, OREGON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 1, 1047 lea Labor Bill Protection Waiver Eyed DETROIT. Aug. 1 JP The Ford Motor company, threatened by a strike of IU 107,000 CIO produc tion workers, offered conditionally today to waive the Taft-Hartley labor law's court protecUon against union contract violations. Ford's proposal, delivered per sonally by Henry Ford II, company president, to CIO Chief Philip Murray, was being weighed on the eve of a strike verdict by the CIO's United Auto Worker. The UAW-CIO International ex ecutive board goes into session to morrow to consider It Ford de partment's resolution to call a strike In the vast Ford automotive factory system. ' Surprise Meet Word of Ford's offer, which was based on a series of company-described, "good faith conditions." came from a surprise meeting which Uie young Industrial execu tive had with Murray In New York City yesterday, arranged at Ford' own request. There was no immediate com ment from Murray or the UAW. Ford made Uie offer at a time when Uie auto Industry already was beset with strikes and layoffs Idling approximately 40,000 Michi gan workers. Largely, this Idleness was attri buted to a week-long walkout of 7000 Murray Corp. of America workers in a demand for contract protection against the "union lia bility" provision of the Taft-Hartley law. Murray Corp. supplies parts lo Uie Industry. The same UAW-CIO demand on Pord was refused bluntly, but Ford, acknowledging "crlUcal situa tion." offered a compromise. This was in Uie form of a com pany pledge not to bring suit against the union for damages arising out of "illegal strikes" pro. vlded Uiat: 1. The union has not "inspired or authorised" such a strike. 2. The union agrees "prompUy to denounce publicly" an illegal strike. 3. The union and Its "officers or agents" agree to use "prompt and honest effort" to prevent or end such a strike. 4. The impartial umpire (as alitned by contract) shall be "final Judge" p'hether the union ha tak en "mese reasonable steps ' rel. Uve to such strikes.

AP wirephoto The Smiths Are Still Tops In The Local Phone Book By MARYELLEN WRIGHT Psychologists probably have a name for it, but chances are that Uie first thing you did upon receipt of your new phone book (providing you're lucky enough to have a phone) was to check your own name, address and phone number. You needn't worry, though, because you're Just one of some 6000 or more Klamath residents who were doing the same thing last week when Uie new 1947 telephone directories were issued by the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company. Phone books are almost as inter esting as a dictionary (or did you ever spend few minutes reading one?) For instance, did you know Tribe Okays Timber Sale KLAMATH AGENCY, August 1 The Klamath Indian tribal coun cil yesterday voted to accept a recommendation of Its business committee to put up for sale an estimated 10,000,000 board feet of Umber, Kanott unit No. 6 located near Sprague river.

Aug. 1 The sentiment of the Klamath In dian tribe which does not favor liquidation of the reservation op poses Senate Bill 1222 will be well represented when a senate investi gating committee arrives late In August to conduct public hearings on the measure which, If passed, would dissolve the reservation and bring full cltlienship to the Klam aths. During a' lengthy and colorful council session at KlamaUi Agency yesterday afternoon the tribe ac cepted a resolution previously adopt ed by the tribal business committee.

A majority of the several hundred persons in the big hall appeared to line up with Jackson, and when the vote came after a spirited attempt by Crawford to put over a moUon for full seoUon-by-secUon perusal of SB 1222. most members of the Craw ford party did not stand up to vote at all. Both Wado Crawford and his wife, Ida, Ignored the vote. . ,'The result was 95 to 4'adopUng the business committee's resolution and putting the tribe on record as against liquidating the reservation: A more representative measure of the apparent strength of each fac tion came on the vote on Crawford's full-discussion suggestion, 103 against and S3 for.

Soviets Rap v U.S. Proposal LAKE, SUCCESS. Aug. 1 W) Russia charged today that a Unit ed States offer to mediate the un declared war in Indonesia waa a "means of circumventing" the United Nations and demanded that the security council Itself take "binding acUon." The surprise Soviet move ser iously complicated the mediation plan which already had been ac cepted by The Netherlands gov ernment Soviet Delegate Andrei A. Gro myko agreed with the United States Uiat the council should act immediately to order a cessation of hostilities, but he urged the council to go slow- on the question of mediation. Although not stating definitely that he would oppose mediation, Gromyko raised strong objections, including his charge that the move would by-pass the UN. He said it also would give the Dutch an ad vantage over the Indonesians be cause they could start the nego tiations from their present military positions. Three Die In Hotel Blaze SPOKANE. Aug. 1 MP) Three men were killed and four others injured in a fire that swept through the Swanson hotel here this morning. Dead from asphyxiation are Wil liam J. McCaney, 43, Spokane steelworker, and William Goodpas ture, 65, Ritzville, Wash. A third man, who burned to death as he attempted to escape the flames, remained unidentified. said privately after the meeting that they couldn't stand UP to vote be cause It might point themselves out for possible "reprisals." Translation To start the session off, Seldon Kirk, chairman, appointed Dice Crane to translate the proceedings into the Klamath language and Wernle Foster to make the transla tion Into Palute. Since-.everything had to be gone over in three tongues, the meeting necessarily went along slowly. Parliamentary procedure was followed throughout. After the resolution in question was reac. and placed before the coun cil by Jesse Kirk, Wade Crawford took the floor to report on his work as a Klamath Indian delegate to Washington. Crawford and Jackson ' are co delegates, but recently the Indian council has, in theory at least, ousted Crawford. His pay stopped April 21 but he does not recognise Uie validity of the vote which ousted him. , Crawford' told of the proposed $1000 per capita payment he has British Cut German Aid WASHINGTON, Aug. 1 m Brit ain, because of her belt-tightening economic plight, has told the United State , informally she must make harp new cuts in her world stabil ity commitments.

Under the terms of that agree ment signed last December, the two countries merged their occupation lories for economic purpose with cost split on a fifty-fifty basts. But because many of the bails need for German occupation fall la a category of supplies In which Brit ain herself Is deficient, the British have been forced to turn to tha United States for the purchases, pay ing for their part of the load In dollars.

Taft, bearing the en dorsement of fellow Ohio republi cans for hi party's presidential nomlnaUon, headed for a five weeks' Canadian vacaUon today after de livering a blistering attack on Presi dent Truman's foreign and dome tic policies. Sounding the keynote of a far western speaking tour beginning In California next month, Taft declared at a big home-coming rally last night Uiat Mr. Truman Is following a "befuddled, foreign policy," 1 "still dominated by the principles of the CIO," and ha failed to co operate with the republican-controlled aongress. Taft said the republican party' domestic policies "will always be sabotaged and opposed by a demo cratic executive administration." He added that the only way to "do tha Job as lt should be done" and also correct the present foreign policy is to elect a republican president next year. He predicted the. people "will do o." Bubble Gum Gets Bum Teeth Blame BOSTON. Aug. 1 VP A kid with a faceful of bubble gum 1 headed tor the dentist's chair, an oral sur geon warned today. And that goes for salt drinks, too. "The sugar in bubblegum and soft drinks probably is responsible for more bad teeth in children today than any other factor," said Dr. Van B. Dalton of Cincinnati at the 39th convention of the American Society of Oral Surgeons. He said a study of Cincinnati children showed that addicts of pop and bubble gum developed 60 per cent more cavities than those from whom the delicacies were withheld. been working on, said that a house committee had cut it to $600 and that the pureau of Indian Affair had fought It all along. He quoted a high Indian bureau official as saying that the "Klamath were spoiled, had too much money." The per capita payment bill died of in action in the house. He also said that a bill to permit Indians to buy liquor was voted out of committee but there was no chance of passage. Appropriation Issue ' . Crawford then went on to tell of his efforts to get a lea expensive administration for the Klamath res ervation, but said that the Indian bureau finally got a $290,000 ap propriation for the fiscal year. Regarding SB 1223 Crawford (aid he had a petition signed by 375 adult Klamaths asking congress to pas the measure and that he wasn't vio lating any trust in urging the bill' passage. Rather, he aald, the tribal council had violated it' word In voting to recall him. Crawford asked the council to expunge from the rec (Contlnu ao rs , Cslama )
