i ; PAGE EIGHT HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1. 1953 Oregon Governor Favors Reapportionment Plan By PAUL W. HARVICV Jit. ' SALEM W) Oregon's most bit ter political lights often are over the measures on the general elcc- '. tion ballots, and governors almost always stay out of them. In the past, the state's chief ex ecutives have figured It good poli tics not to become Involved in such arguments. Governors rarely have endorsed or opposed any . ballot measure. That Is why it wns unusual for ' Gov. Paul Patlcrson, In his ad- , dress Mondny to the American Municipal Assn. in Miami, to cite Oregon's present reapportionment of the Legislature as an example for other states to follow. This action puts the governor In the middle of the reapportionment contest that Is shaping up for next yea-. Gov, Patterson told the Miami group how Oregon's voters rcao portioned tho Legislature in 1052 according to ponulation. The vote Was 357.550 to 194.292. He described the amendment, which provides that If the Legis lature doesn't reapportion itself STEI'-IN ST V LIS ' 9185 r 14V4 24Vi Ideal frook to keep half-slzeis jookmgr smart always! its inc easy step-in style - wonderful in cotton to wear around I lie house- lovely Jumper to top your favor ite blousel Perfectly proportioned to fit the shorter, fuller figure no alterations with this pattern I 18'i. 18',, 20'., 22'i. 24'j.

Is on the way back to prosperity on a wave of Industrial expansion, a coal Industry expert said last night. J. n. Forsythe ot New York, general manager of Ihc Key stone Coal Buyers Manual, pre dicted that by 1970 coal produc tion would have Increased 100 per cent to an output of 800 million tons a year. after every federal census, then the secretary of slate must do it. And If he doesn't, Uien the Su preme Court shall do it. In endorsing the present system, the governor, in cliccl, was oppos ing the so-called French measure, wnlcii now Is being distributed for the signatures to put It on the bal lot, liiis measure would give each of the36 counties a senator apiece, thus abandoning the population ap portionment in the upper house. The question Is whether the gov ernor's stand might cost him some voles in Eastern Oregon, should the governor decide to run against Hen. Wayne Morse next year. The Frchch bill's father Is Giles L. French, Moro publisher, and a former slate representative. He j quit the Legislature to run for Con gress in tne lu-couniy eastern Oregon district, but Sam Coon of Baker beat him In the 1962 Repub lican primary. The main support for French's bill comes from Eastern Oregon, which lost under the 1052 reappor tionment measure. The Oregon Farm Bureau Federation also Is for French's bill, and there is con sldcrable support from the state grange. In 1952, the only Eastern Oregon Counties to vote lor reapportion' ment were Crook, Deschutes and Klamath. They had good reason, because the measure Increased their representation In the Senate. The only Western Oregon county opposing the measure was Jose phine, and that was by a scant 62 voles. With half of the slate's counties. Eastern Oregon would have. half of the Senate members under the French bill. It has about one seventh of the population. Gov. Patterson told the conven. tlon that the 1952 reapportionment provision gives wider representa tion to urban areas. Then he went on to tell how the 1955 Legislature, even though the cities had Increased representa tion, passed "the most anti-city bill that has been passed In a great many years." This was the bill to prevent cities from levying Income taxes. The governor veloed It. An Interesting point about that bill, however, was that It was spon sored by State Sen. Rudie Wllhelm Jr.. former speaker of tho House. Wllhelm lives In Portland, too. oov. Patterson told this to make his point that apportionment on a population oasis helps cities solve their problems, but that It Isn't the final answer to the cities' prob lems, by a long way. Duty Neglect Fires Guards WALLA WALLA, Wash. Ml -Warden Lawrence Dclmore Jr. Wednesday night suspended four State Penitentiary guards charg Infc them with ncgloot of duty in ihe escape of two prisoners early Wednesday. Delntore said 'Jie four guards. whom he did not identify, will have five days In which to answer charges. A course of action will be decided at the end of that pe riod, Dclmore ' said, indicating It could be continued suspension or dismissal. The warden said the men were on duty on No. 7 wing where John Russell. 2a, and Edward L. Burkholder, 23, were housed. The two men apparently hid In the prison grounds and scaled the walls on ladders during a heavy fog Wednesday morning. Dclmore said investigation show ed Ihc men did not return to their cells after dinner. Bciore leaving Uiey had used pillows to make crude dummies in their beds. "The guards did not follow or ders In making a thorough bed check." the warden said. Alter leaving the prison the men took a usrd car from a sales lot in Walla Walla. Company olficlals complained to police Wednesday night Ihe escapees not only got away with the car but also took r.lopg keys to some 40 other new and used vehicles in Ihe agency.

Major Labor Unions Merge After Refecting Lewis Dun NEW YORK The CIO went ahead today with plans for a quick merger with the AFL after re jecting a dunning note from John L. Lewis lor alleged past-due debts. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, an independent labor organization not a party to the prospective merger, sent his payment demand on the eve of separate AFL and CIO conventions called to ratiiy the amalgamation. Lewis is a maverick in the union movement who in the past has been a leader In both the AFL and CIO. Last mcht he demanded that the CIO. before any merger action, pay up S1.6(i5.000 which he 1 claimed to be the balanced owed i the UMW from early CIO organlz- lng days. Lewis headed the CIO at j that time. ' "Why, he's got the second biggest bank in Washington and wants us to help him make it the biggest," James B. Carey, a CIO leader, told a reporter. "Lewis has got three brass balls hanging out side his office." Lewis, whose rich miners' union reportedly controls the National Bank ot Washington, wrote Curcy last night that the UMW had, ad vanced the CIO approximately $7, 250.000 in the late 1930s and $1, 005,000 is still due in "valid loans." Carey, secretary-treasurer of the CIO when Lewis was Its president and still holder of that office, fired back a reply telling, Lewis that "the CIO owes you no money." Where Lewis had written that the CIO is being "liquidated" by merging with the larger AFL, Carey flatly denied that too. "You have achieved." Carey wrote Lewis, "the momentary rip ple of publicity which you sought to relieve the boredom of your Iso lation from the democratic labor movement." Carey a'so sent back, by the same UMW messenger who de livered Lewis' note, a copy of a CIO pamphlet reviewing the 20 year story of the CIO. It gives Lewis fuli credit for forming the CIO and helping organize its nucleus in the steel and auto in dustries. Lewis has been left completely out of the merger plans. He has criticized the prospective joining of the two labor groups into a single 16-million-member federation as "a rope of sand" that couid not last. The '75-ycar-old Lewis led a group of unions, including the UMW', out of the AFL in 1935 to found tho CIO. Then he quit the CIO in1940 and went back to the AFL, only to leave that group again in 1047. c WTEISFielB'SA I AW te:; 3 'PSsiW! 53r CNle i 'hit N f Neuberger Says Power Rules Idaho mohair! 1.
