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.

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.

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.

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.

can Nationals to this area. 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.
MOOT POINT
Decision on the camp, hinged
partly on the restricted barracks
area, part of which has been
taken over by the Federal Bureau
of Prisons, to be used for a po
tential subversive camp, leaving
onlv limited housing for harvest
help. -
The camp. In years past, has
provided shelter for some 30 fam

Top Concern
for Texas
. 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."
