(Early Slory Page ) t;w Policy Plan Eyed By Chamber The Chamber of Commerce's local "rcvllallcatlon" campaign will move Into the Intensive stage wnnin me next lew weens. The aim of the campaign Is to adopt a net of principals and work ing rules to guide the Chamber In 1 1 s luiure endeavors toward strengthening the economic life of Klamath County; to keep the gen ernl public informed of the function, accomplishments and plans of the orgnnluulon: and to strengthen the Chamber financially and as an ef fective, representative body by add ing to the working membership. LEADER Oscar Oabbert, professional busi ness engineer, is heading the re virilization program. He told members of the Chamber Friday night that he believed thai a Chamber of Commerce necessar ily, but thoughtfully, is a selfish organization: selfikh to the point It wants the best social and economic conditions for its community pos sible. Klamath Falls wants new in dusUy, he said, and to get In dustry to locale here, or any where, it is first necessary for the community to set its own house in order to see that living condi tions, nousing, scnoois, playgrounds parks and churches are adequate to accommodate new population. A great part of the program for the next few weeks will be to lerret out the pioblems of this community and try to find solu tions. In developing the community, Cabbcrl said, cosl always is a paramount consideration. But also paramount Is the question Is what Is the cosl to the community of not having the developments and improvements ii needs- e CHAMBER JOB - A Chamber ot Commerce, be said, is the only organization cap able of doing the Job of supervising the social and economic develop ment of Its community, and that is what a Chamber should be set up and financed to do. -" During the next few weeks, var ious groups of persons active and Interested In the well-being of the Klamath country will be called to gether for discussion of the pro posed objectives of the Klamath County Chamber of Commerce, and also for suggestions as to ob jectives lor the Chamber. The meetings are hoped to Iron out misconceptions as to the work of a Chamber of Commerce, and to arouse Interest in tho work of the organization.

Spuds Lead Price Drop WASHINGTON W A levelling off of booming potato prices has brought a sharp drop in the gov ernment's wholesale price index. It fell four-tenths of one per cent during the week which ended June 17. The Bureau of Labor Statistics index stood at 111.2 per cent of the 1947-49 average. That was 3.3 per cent under January, 1951, when wage and price controls went into effect. Potato prices Jumped skyward when controls were removed two weeks ago in an effort to meet a potato shortage. But In the week ending June 17, the government reported Friday, prices fell as much as 43 per cent In some local ities. , There also were price drops In livestock, poultry, meats, eggs and hides. On the up-side were some fresh frnlt.n nnd vegetables, manu factured animal feeds, inedible fats and oils and some textiles. Stanton To Head ONPA GEARHART (VPi Charles V.

Growers Faced With Providing Own Farm Help By RUTH KING i wrote the 119,000 program for fi- TULELAKE Multiple problems of providing transient labor and centralized housing for the 1952 potato harvest in the Tulelake Basin, are today squarely In the laps of individual growers of the basin's principal agricultural crop. Action taken at a meeting last night of 38 growers of potatoes and onions, members of the Tulelake Growers Association, officially closed the doors on underwriting the $20,006 fund needed to bring some 325 single. Mexican National laborers to this area for the harvest season and to operate the labor camp at Newell. Last year the association undo DPA Due For More Changes WASHINGTON Wl The House has tentatively voted to lift price controls from virtually all consum er goods and drastically reorgan ize the Wage Stabilization Board. The ripped and tattered exten sion of the administration's de fense production act faces other sharp changes when it comes up again next Wednesday. First big vote then will be on a provision requesting President Tru man to invoke the Taft-Hartley law Injunction proceedings in the steel strike . .. .. - .-. . With a coalition of Republicans and southern Democrats in control of the legislation, administration leaders concede they have little chance to block adoption of that proposal. Absences have sapped the administration's voting strength. The Senate wrote a similar re qest into its version of the ex tension law. From the standpoint of the stab ilization agencies, the price decon trol amendment hit hardest of all. Sponsored by Rep. Talle (R.-Iowal it was tentatively approved by a 146 to 88 standing vote. This provision would require the lifting of price controls on articles or services which (1) have sold below ceiling for three months, or (2) are In adequate or surplus supply. CP.

But on June 12 of this year, directors of the association went on record as opposing responsibility for this year's foreign labor or setting up of the labor camp at Newell unless all Basin potato and onion grower shared the cost. Last night's vote followed. The association membership rep resents only 40 per cent of all growers in the area. With equipment and camp facili ties available, It was believed, ac cording to sentiment expressed at last night's meeting, that 100 more single man could have been bought here for an additional $1000. . ON THEIR OWN The decision will force individual growers to provide "on-the-farm" living accommodations for all la borers who do not come to the Basin with their own housing and to seek adeauate help at a time when the labor situation is more critical than at any time since World War H. Ed Duckett. president of the as sociation, urges all members to be prepared to handle their own hous ing problems. Last year's handling ol the Mex ican labor problem by the as sociation was highly - successful even with the high cost ol trans portation and administration. The organization provided the central ized camp since 1843 .assuring a steady flow ot help during the harvest eeasoq. , - ' . It has also been effectual - In stabilizing the harvest wage scale and in eliminating to a large de gree, labor troubles that heckled growers in the days before cen tralized housing was available.

By The Associated Press The Taft-Elsenhower battle for Republican presidential - nomina ting votes took on bare - knuckle aspects Saturday with the general primed for a "rip - snorter" speecn and the senator saying his defense is solid.. All Indications at Denver were that Gen. Dwlght Elsenhower's week-end dash to Texas and Nev ada would mark a departure from his carefully polite routine to date. His chief rival for the GOP presi dential nomination, Ohio's Sen. Robert Taft,. told a reporter in Washington: "I don't see' how the Elsenhower people can break through to win at this point. They have not made the headway they expected when be returned home . to campaign." 604 DELEGATES With 604 delegate votes needed to nominate at the OOP convention July 7 in Chicago Taft has 467 to Eisenhower's 392 In the Associated Press tabulation. This tally is based on avowed and conceded first-ballot alignments. After flying from Denver to his Denison, Tex., birthplace Saturday, Eisenhower goes to Dallas for con ferences and a speech. Aides said he will "take off the gloves" in expressing his views over the con troversy surrounding Texas' 3 vote contested delegation. Eisenhower visits the Hoover Dam at Las Vegas, Nev., Sunday for another talk, then returns to Denver Sunday night. - This trip looked like an expedition to gain background for answering ques tions by convention delegates Irdm the West, whose favor the general has courted in conferences at Den ver. , . . EISENHOWER Various Eisenhower campaign ers have called the Texas wrangle an attempted "steal" by Taft forces. The Ohioan's backers re tort that Eisenhower's Texas fol lowers are really Democrats in disguise. The Issue whether a pro-Taft or a pro-Elsenhower delegation sboi'id be seated is docketed for settlement by the Re publican National Committee. - " Vote - hunting' forays were thei order of the day for the three front running candidates for Democratic nomination. The Associated Press scoreboard, with 616 delegate votes needed at the July 31 Chicago con vention, lists Tennessee Sen. Estes Kefauver In first place with 346. Next come Sen. Richard Russell ot Georgia with 114 h and Mutual Security Administrator : Averell Harriman with 95 t4. Both Taft and Eisenhower were the targets of another GOP presi dential'hopeful - i ormer Gov. Harold Stassen of Minnesota Friday night. In Philadelphia he told reporters he finds both men too conservative. He added: "don't count me out I have a better chance today than I did in 1948."
