In The-
Day's lews
By FRANK JENKINS
- The American Legion is holding
its annual convention this week in
the city of Washington. President
Elsenhower, himself a Legionnaire.
flies back from his Colorado "va
cation ' to address his former com
rades In arms. Among other things
he tells them:
Our foreign policy in pursuit of
peace must not be .sidetracked
into
1. The dead ends of isolationism,
or . ,
2. Deliberately choosing the road
to war.
Let's define Isolationism:
It was a beautiful period in his
tory when we of the Western Hem
isphere could retire behind our
wide oceans and devote ourselves
to building a better civilization
than had ever before existed in
the world. .
Its end was foreshadowed on
December 17, 1903, when the
Wright Brothers (Wilbur and Or.
ville) made the world's first flight
in an airplane WITH AN EN
GINE. That achievement eventually
shrunk our protecting oceans to
mere Irrigation ditches. Isolation
ism came definitely to an end on
that day In August of 1945 when
the first atom bomb was dropped
on Hiroshima.
Maybe we'd better define the
other thing Ike told the Legion
naires we mustn't do. He said we
mustn't -"deliberately choose the
road to war." He was referring to
what is coming to be known as
PREVENTIVE war that Is to
say, trying to destroy the other
fellow before he can destroy you.
Why not? -
Well, we might choose the wrong
time and the other fellow might
destroy us and the rest of the
world along with us.
I don't think America wants to
make that fateful choice.
We'd better stick to the alter
native of "massive retaliation"
which fa letting the other fellow
strike the first blow and then
knocking him out.
But
If we're to do that
We must keep strong and alert.
Let's KEEP strong and alert.
Shucks! That's high tension talk.
Continued high tension leads to
high blood pressure. High blood
pressure weakens men and na
tions. Let's relax.
Fishing talk is relaxing. Here's
some interesting fishing talk 1
picked up in a meeting a while
back:
Oregon has about 46,000 miles of
fishing streams. Back in 193S,
there were -about 1.4T fishermen
per mile during the season on Ore
gon's fishing streams. By 1953, the
number of fishermen per mile bad
risen to 6.5. -
That's an Increase of a shade
over four times.
1 In 1935, Oregon was spending ap
proximately J4.05 per mile in keep
ing fish in these 46,000 miles of
streams. ,
By 1950, Oregon- was spending
524.40 per mile to keep fish in the
streams for the fishermen, (What
the exact figure is in 1954 was not
known by those present at the ses
sion I'm speaking of, but It was
agreed that the figure is higher
now than In 1950.)
That is to say, while the number
of fishermen per mile of streams
has increased about four times
since 1935 the amount spent by the
fish and game authorities of Ore
gon has increased about six times.

Ends Strike
REDDING, Calif. I AFL
Lumber and Sawmill Workers
return to work Monday at the
Shasta Division of the U. S. Ply
wood Co., last to settle in a 10-week-old
strike in Shasta and Trin
ity counties, -
Some 700 workers voted 2-1 Sun,
day to accept the company's
terms. ,
Olyn Cantrell, the union repre
sentative, refused to reveal terms
of the settlement, but it was
generally understood no wage
increase was involved.
Company Manager Gene Brewer
said a new sawmill would be
completed in two days and all of
the men were expected to be back
on the Job Wednesday.
This settlement ends the last
AFL strike in the Oregon-California
pine-producing area which af
fected production. There are pick
ets at some operations, but their
presence is not curtailing produc
tion in any instance.
Only remaining lumber industry
strikes in the area are the IWA
CIO strikes in Central Oregon.
Plants involved are Brooks Scan
Ion, Inc., and Oregon Trail Box
Company at Bend, Ochoco Lumber
Company at Prlnevllle, Ponderosa
Moulding, Inc., and Tlte Knot Pine
Mills both of Redmond.
Both of the Redmond operations
are operating behind picket lines,
the Ponderosa Moulding with a full
crew of 105, 99 of whom were
regular employes prior to the
strike. Two more of the original
crew reported to work this morn
ing, according to Pine Industrial
Relations Committee, Inc.-
At Tlte Knot, operation 'was re
sumed last week behind picket
lines and at the week's end, 14
regular employes and seven new
ones were working out of a normal
crew of 33 men. Full production
on a one-shift basis has been main
tained and the company expects
to start a night shift this week.
A few more than the 14 regular
employes reported for work this
morning, Chet Irving. PIRC exec
utive secretary, stated.
A series of meetings held last
Friday in that area with Com
missioner George Walker of the
federal mediation and conciliation
service, failed to produce any re
sults, it was reported.
A Redmond attorney announced
this morning on behalf of employes
of the two Redmond plants that he
had filed petitions for decertifica
tion of CIO local 67 as bargaining
agent for employes of the two
operations with NLRB in Portland.

Lumber and Sawmill Workers
Union locals in anticipation of
settlement of the long Pacific
Northwest lumber strike.
AFL workers at three Springfield,-
Ore., mills went back on the
job despite an announcement by
top union officials that the strike
would continue until employers in
both the fir and pine belts accept
a peace proposal made by the
governors of Oregon and Washing,
ton, last week.
Fir employers accepted, but
there ' was delay among pine

ex -
ever,- as the AFL had indicated
it would accept the peace plan,
and A. F. Hariung, CIO Wood
workers president, scheduled a
meeting with the governors in
Portland to consider acceptance of
the plan.
The three AFL-manned mills
resuming work in Lane County
were Springfield Plywood Corp.,
employing 430; the Guerrier Lum
ber Co., employing 97; and the
Rosboro .Lumber Co., employing
178. The workers had ratified the
peace plan over the weekend.
All told, some 2,000 workers
were back on the job in' Lane
County, where Springfield and
Eugene are located. Also returning
were L15G CIO members at the
Weyerhaeuser Timber Co. plant at
Springfield, They voted over the
weekend to accept a 2 (i-cent
hourly wage increase offer. The
Hlnes Lumber Cor plywood mill at
Westfir also got back in production
as 248 men returned. They voted
last week to go back, pending a
master settlement.
The peace plan advanced by the
governors calls for- strikers to
return to work while a seven-man
committee investigates the issues
of the dispute.
AFL officials said they would
accept this it locals ratify the plan
and employers in the fir and pine
region go along with it.
One group of pine employers,
however, said they could not reach
an immediate decision,
Kenneth Davis, secretary of the
AFL union, said the Timber
Products Manufacturing Assn. ofj
Spokane had notified him that a
decision could not be made" until
the association directors met,
probably later this week.
Both unions went on strike 71
days ago to back up demands for
a 12 '4-cent hourly wage increase.
There have been a number of
settlements since then some by
renewal of the old contract and
others by varying wage increases.
There were these other develop,
ments reported in the strike over
the weekend:
The Santiam Lumber Co. tii..
sweet wsibs reached agreement
with its workers negotiating com
mittee. The agreement, terms of
which were not announced, is
expected to be ratified by union
memoers Tuesday.
Cascade Plywood at Lebanon,
Ore., reported it planned to resume
operations despite postponement of
the general industry-wide AFL
fact-finding agreement.
The Willamette Valley Lumber
Co. at-Dailas, Ore., reached agree
ment with its 380 AFL workers on
a 2 1 2-cent hourly increase. The
agreement provides for a wage
re-adjustment in the event of a
different industry-wide settlement.
1 At Corvallls, AFL workers at the
Corvallis Lumber Co., which em
ploys 135, voted 60-0 to ratify the
governors peace pact.
At Portland M s M Wood
Working Co, announced it had
reached agreement with 320 AFL
mlllmen's union employes. Terms
of the settlement were not
announced.
At Eugene, CIO officials reported
that employes of Associated Ply
wood had rejected a company offer
cf a 2 ',&-cent Increase.
Eisenhower
Speaks To
Legion Vets
WASHINGTON Wt President
Eisenhower told cheering, shirt-
sleeved American Legionnaires
Monday that an American foreign
policy pursuing peace must not be
"sidetracked" into the "dead
ends" of isolationism or deliberat
ely choosing "the road to war,"
Doffing his blue and gold cap
from his Abilene, Kan,, post, Ei
senhower addressed the opening
session of the American Legions
36th annual gathering.
The gathering of war veterans
from all over the country and
from foreign lands hit a keynote
from the outset that peace is a
product of strength and war a
product of weakness.
Gov, John Lodge of Connecticut
nut It that way In the main wel
coming speech and added that
"appeasement merely .multiplies
the hazards of war."
And a past national commander
of the Legion, Lewis K, dough of
Pasadena, Calif., told the eonven-
tiou; . ,
"The more the free world sur
renders to communism the more
we risk a third world war,"
On the same note of peace
through strength, Eisenhower told
the thousands crammed into the
stemming national armory, that
neither "wishful thinking nor
"political timidity" can be per
mitted to bar any longer the build
ing and maintenance of a strong,
ready military reserve "so abso
lutely essential to our defense,"
Elsenhower said establishment
of an adequate reserve will be a
"number one Item" submitted to
the next Congress.
The chief executive flew back to
Washington from, a Colorado vaca
tion to make his third appearance
at a Legion convention since World
Warn ended.
darned in a gray suit gad gray
tie, he arrived five minutes ahead
of time his address was to go on
radio and television. A band
played "Hail to the Chief and the
Legionnaires gave their leading
member a rising ovation.
Eisenhower got some of his
heaviest applause when he called
for a strong military reserve.
The Legionnaires clapped and
whopped when he declared that
this reserve "will not unfairly
burden men who have already
served" and pledged his adminis
tration "will see to that."
Elsenhower said foreign policy
must reflect the decisions of the
American people and must be
stable, "
"Stability in our national pur
poses is essential," he said,
"Obviously this cannot be ob
tained if there is to be marked
change or if the world Is to fear
a marked change with every
veering of the partisan political
wind.
"The only answer Is that the
whole American people must be
informed and their deeisidhs be
made clear."

Democratic Predictions Of
Bad Times Hit
By LVLE DOWNING
Claims of Democratic office
seekers that retention of a major
ity of Republicans to Congress will
mean another depression were writ
ten oft here Monday as so much
"abracadabra by Senator Guy
Cordon who is campaigning for re
election in the Klamath, Basin.
The Republican incumbent, held
a brief , press conference in the
Wlnema Hotel Monday morning
during which he answered a ae
ries of questions put to mm py
newspaper atut raaio reporters.
There's nothing to thia depres
sion scare, Senator Cordon said.
"All this talk about impending
hard times to something you al
ways expect from the opposition
during a campaign.
"Whatever else they say." he
-continued, "they ean't gainsay the
fact that the people of the united
States now have a greater earning
capacity than ever before.
To emphasize this fact, Senator
Cordon pointed out, that cotton
pickers in the deep south are now
making more wages than many
workers in Industry,
On the question of farm price
supports, the senator said they
have caused a topsy turvy situa
tion in agriculture.
Under this plan of limiting pro
ductions of certain crops." he ex
plained, "we have this kind of a
situation: A farmer who is pro
ducing a crop that is under the
support program Bad Bis acreage
limited. Rather than have a por
tion of his land standing idle, be
goes in for soma other crop that
may be of little consequence in his
area but is a major crop in some

other part of the country,
"What results," he continued,
"is that the non-support, one-crop
fanner In another part of the
country with whom ha la compet
ing; has his price knocked down.
Personally, I am tor the oM sys
tem of aupply and demand and I
hone sometime soon we'll ba able
to get back to It." , i
The senator added he is for a
two-price wheat support system
one price for domestic uses' and
another for all other uses. .
Senator Cordon also had cues.
thms put, to turn, about filibusters
and be reiterated soma of tha
statements he bad made at other
meetings concerning uncontrolled
debate in the halls of Congress,
"It was demonstrated during the
last session of Congress," ho aaid.
"that filibustering can greatly en
danger tha orderly process of leg-
IsIaUon, unlimited debate at one
time might have been an asset.
That was during certain periods
in our history when one party had
an overwhelming majority in Con
gress aim a "rubber stamp' gov
ernment was in prospect, Filibus
tering as we have seen during the
last session is merely s tool of
the left-wing, element and serves
a destructive purpose, wuiuu mal-
contents use the filibuster tor their

Senator Cordon plans to visit

problem at issue informally with
the people of this region.
