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

COAL KOItTUNKS
CLEVELAND Ifl Coal, Us for
tunes diminished for a lime by
competition from oilier fuels. 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.

The warden said the men were

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.
