o) Go) n u JV UJ . : In The- Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Tragic note In the news: Egyptians are giving thousands of dollars voluntarily to buy arms and equipment for Egypt's army. A delegation of transport work ers from Alexandria today handed Premier Nasser a check for 3700 Egyptian pounds (17749) repre senting workers' wages for one day. Another worker sent $1.50, sug gesting it be used to buy soft drinks (or the crew of the first ship bringing arms to Egypt. Why is that tragic? ' The answer Is tragically simple, These poor devils of Egyptians (SO per cent of whom are poverty stricken beyond American capacl' ty for belief) are digging Into their pockets to buy guns and ammuni' , tion that may be used to help start another war in the explosive Middle East. If another war gets started in the Middle East, it could spread into another world war. They'd FAR BETTER be put ting their money into a United Fund car-lgn as we're get ting reads ' j do here in the Klam ath country. Here in the Klamath country we'll spend our money for Buch things as CHARACTER BUILD ING for our youth, the Red Cross, which is- the ever-present mother in time of dire need, into care of needy and unfortunate children, into health agencies, such as can cer, and heart disease research. And so on. In Egypt, they're going to put their money (some of it raised under a system approximating our payroll deduction plan) into OUNS for another war. If that isn't tragic, there is so such thing as tragedy. One more word: It is this willingness to put our money into funds (such as the United Fund) to make our com munities better places to live in that makes America AMERICA. It is willingness to put money Into guns, when people are starv ing on every side with nobody paying much attention, because want and misery are accepted as a part of life as it is lived there that makes Egypt EGYPT, Economic note in the news: The U.S. department of com merce reports today that publicly disposed cash dividend payments made by U.S. corporations in the first eight months of this year amounted ' to five and a , half BILLION dollars. It adds: This was a gain of 7'-i per cent over the first eight months of .last year. ; . -. jc--"s- -- That raises an interesting ques tion: WHO OWNS AMERICA'S COR PORATIONS? That question can't be EXACT LY answered because there are thousands of little corporations whose stock ownership isn't listed in existing records that are avail able. But the Brookings Institution es timates that the total of Individual share owners of publicly owned corporations In this country is now about 7.500,000. In an ex haustive study made In 1952 it was able to track down a total of 6.490.000 persons who own shares In America's better known cor porations. It separated them into family Income groups, with this result: Under J500O Income, 2,050,000 people. Five thousand dollars to 10, 000 income, 2,880,000 people. Ten thousand dollars a year and over 1,560,000 people. This Is the point: America's corporations are no longer owned by a few big shots. They are owned by MILLIONS of Americans of all kinds. This 5'j billion dollar dividend Income In the first eight months 'of this year went Into the pockets of MILLIONS of Americans who had been thrifty enough to put their savings Into the stock of American corporations. Circle Plant To Stay Open NEW CASTLE, Ind. W The Perfect Circle Co, said in a public meeting Thursday it has no lnten t'on of keeping Its riot-beset foun div here closed. ' "We are Just not in a position to close that plant." company attor ney Clyde Hoffman told Mayor Paul F. McCormack at an emer gency conference between Perfect Circle and representatives of the ClO-United Auto Workers. The union retorted Immediately that It could not guarantee against a repetition of Wednesday's riot ing If the plant reopens. Eight persons were shot Wednes day as 5.000 union sympathisers advanced on 100 nonstrlkers barri caded in the three-story red brick foundry. Mayer McCormack opened the first union-management meeting In more than a month with a quota tion from the Bible. The chief ex ecutive of this city of 18,000 read from 1st Romans, 2nd chapter, which begins: , "Therefore you have no excuse, oh man. whoever you are, when you Judge another . . ." Hoffiftan said the company has been willing at all times since the strike began July 25 to negotiate wages, union shop and other Issues with the union but that the UAW CIO has refused.

OREGON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6. 1955 frlce Five Cent 28 Pages Telephone 8111 Rebels Raise White Flags In Morocco RABAT, French Morocco Wl While flags went up Thursday over small villages in the mid Atlas mountains and alone the Spanish Moroccan frontier, indi cating that some rebel tribesmen in the zone of the latest uprising J are ready to cad it quits. " i French officers on the spot were : noi optimistic tnat an trouble was ending. Fighting still continued at Tizi Ouzli, in eastern French Mo rocco, near the frontier ot tho Spanish zone. Although the military situation seemed to be getting slightly bel ter, the political situation worsen ed, both in Morocco and in France. FAURE FIRES In Paris. Premier Faure fired four Gaullist Critics of his North African policy, including Defense Minister Pierre Koenig. There was speculation whether the Cabinet could survive the break. Troops from Boured and Tlzi Ouzli fought through ambushes and past mountain marksmen yester day and finally linked up with Moroccan cavalry from Aknoul. They beat off a series of mass attacks that began Saturday against the triangle of outposts along the border between French and Spanish Morocco. STILL MENACED But the French were still men aced by the rebels holding posi tions in the surrounding moun tains. Both sides apparently had been reinforced for a hard fight in the area where Abd el Kriin, the veteran warrior, scored suc cesses ir. the Riff war more than 80 years ago. Taza, a city of 29,000 45 miles souin oi tne border, was crowded with hundreds of refugees from isolated outposts in the area. Most were women and children. and some were from villages to the soutn and west, indicating the French feared the fighting would spread to heretofore peaceful areas. Peron Labor BUENOS , AIRES l.fl The way was opened today for smashing Peronlsta rule of the giant Gen eral Confederation of Labor (CUT) in Argentina. The CGT bosses, who ran the six-mllllon-member labor organiza tion as the powerful right arm of ousted dictator Juan D. Peron. resigned last night. The provisional government announced new elec tions would be held in every union within four months, supervised by the Labor Ministry. Among the labor chiefs who quit was the secretary general. Hector Hugo di Pietro. who backed Peron in his feud with the Roman Cath olic Church. As a result of the shakeup, it was reported the CGT-operated newspaper La Prensa may be taken over by a federal Interven- tor. La Prensa, once Argentina's biggest Independent newspaper, was handed over to the labor or ganization during Peron's regime. The government's move on the CGT followed a one-day strike by 15.000 meat packers In four plants here, in Rosario and in La Plata.
