TUESDAY. AUGUST 12. 1958 HERALD AND NO'S, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE FTVB Big Trucks And Trailers Start Pulling Off Highway SAN FRANCISCO (UP1) Big trucks and trailers hauling freight In 11 western states began pull ing off the highways today in an employer - ordered lockout that may idle as many as 100,000 men. It was estimated that by Wed nesday, 1,600 trucking firms will have parked 150,000 trucks be tween Mexico and Canada and as far east as Denver. Stroke Claims George Sloan YREKA George Samuel Sloan, 2, resident of California for many years, died at the family home at Hornbrook, Saturday, August 9, following a heart attack. He had suffered from a heart condition for some time. He was born Novem ber 10, 1895, in Cataract, now Copco, California. Mr. Sloan ranched for a number of years in his early life and was employed by the California Oregon Power Company from 1921 to 1942. For the last several years he had driven the Star Route mail stage from Hornbrook to Copco. He was a veteran of World War I. Surviving are the widow, Mrs. Ida May Sloan, Hornbrook; 12 children, four sons, Lennard Sloan, Hornbrook, George Sloan, Yreka, Harold and Carl Sloan of Sacra mento; eight daughters, Mrs. Vin cent Balbi and Mrs. Joe Thornton, Stockton, Mrs. Frank Burkhart, Mrs. Fred Moore, Areata, Califor nia, Mrs. Hudson Spencer, Cas tro Valley, California, Mrs. Curtis Lewis, Ashland, Mrs. George La Wall, Seattle, Mrs. Laurence Le mos, Hornbrook; two sisters, Mrs. Bernice Baker, Klamath Falls, and Mrs. Grace Bean, San Francisco; also numerous grandchildren. Funeral services will be held from the Girdner Funeral Home, 2 p.m. Wednesday, August 13. Fi nal rites and interment will be in the Henley Hornbrook Cemetery. Church Group To Hear Pair The Klamath Unitarian Fellow ship's summer program of guest speakers will continue this week when Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Cur rier of Palo Alto, California, will lie featured at 8 p.m., Friday at the Klamath Art Center. Mr. and Mrs. Currier have spent this summer in Chiloquin in charge for Klamath Indian Reservation youngsters. They are sponsored by the American Friends Service -. Committee. The Curriers and their three children will leave soon for their home in California, where Currier is a junior high school teacher. Their work at the reservation has .' Included a swimming program at Denton Park, field trips to interest ing places in this area, and a vari ety of other recreational activities for Indian .children. Unitarians and all those inter- '..csted are invited. Coffee will be . served at 7:30. The lockout affected the for- hire trucking industry which moves 75 per cent of the West's truck freight and does a $2,500,000 a day business. It did not affect such products as gasoline, beer, milk and bread, which ara han dled by private fleets. Truckers said they will deliver freight now in transit, but will accept no further shipments. Per ishables, medical supplies and government cargo will be allowed to move. The tie-up affected the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Ida ho, Montana, Nevada, New Mex ico, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. the employers ordered the lock-1 out Monday in retaliation for a strike of 2.3o0 Teamsters in Cen tral California and Western Nev ada. The Teamsters are seeking higher pay. An employer spokesman said that by Thursday, all long-line hauling will have ended in the 11 states. This in turn will cause a halt of local drayase. Southern Pacific and Santa Fe railroads announced they would accept no merchandise for local truck delivery except in areas not touched by the strike-lockout. This would mean several coun ties in the San Francisco Bay Area, which have either signed a new contract or are presently negotiating one. The Central Valley Teamsters, belonging to Teamster Joint Coun cil 38, demanded the same wages as those recently granted drivers in several San Francisco Bay counties. Pickup and delivery drivers in the cities of Bakersfield, Visalia, Fresno, Modesto, Stockton1, Sacra mento, Eureka, Marysville and Reno now get $2.25 an hour, com pared to a range of $2.45 to $2.72 in 'Oakland. But employers insisted that Teamsters belonging to Joint Council 38 were covered by master western agreement signed last May. That agreement called for a 35-cent hourly package in crease in three years. Long lines drivers accepted the settlement but pickup and delivery drivers in Joint Council 38 reject ed it. They wanted parity with Oakland drivers. When pickets appeared in the nine California and Nevada cities Monday, the employers immed iately ordered the lockout in ef fect. They said a strike against any one employer was a strike against all. Orads V. S.

Dependence on this old statute for federal secrecy authority would be wiped out under a bill now awaiting President fcisen hower's signature. But whether fciscnnower win sign the bill, veto it or let it be come law without his signature remained a tight secret itself. The President has until tomorrow mid night to act. The 1789 statute empowers de partment heads to make rules on the use of department records. The one-sentence bill, backed by the ' news industry, would amend this to say the law docs not au thorize withholding information from the public. Subcommittee Chairman Jonn E. Moss (D-Calif) contends the old law was intended simply as a fed eral housekeeping measure, but that it has been twisted by fed eral officials over the years into claimed authority for secrecy. Executive departments general ly opposed Moss' bill on grounds it would upset established proce dure. Atty. Gen. William Rogers took a yes-and-no stand in his tcs timony, saying he would not ob ject to the measure it it were amended to recognize what he called the executive s constitution al privilege to withhold informa tion. Congress did not agree to this change. Moss subcommittee files showed these six recent instances where the old statute has been cited as justifying secrecy: 1. The National Lanor Heiations Grade 2 It per bushel 3 3t " " " U on basis of test weight . . 6f M 5 on basis of test veight . . 9i " " Two cents ($002) per bushel on Soft Red Winter and White Wheat except the varieties Baart and Bluestem of the eub-elass Hard White. Committee Chiefs Report During United Fund Meet Botulism Poison Menaces Wildlife The Tule Lake and Lower Klam ath National wildlife refuges are experiencing what may become a serious problem with duck sick " ness this year. Botulism poisoning, which af flicts waterfowl, made its appear ance somewhat earlier this year. To date, 6,900 afflicted birds have hcen nicked up by refuge crews. " The sick birds are treated in the refuge duck hospital and released to the holding pond as soon as their recovery permits. Intense electrical storms accom panied by high winds have been frequent this summer. Increase in iho occurrence of duck sickness has followed these storms. The' high winds tend to expose and re- flood potential hazard areas which) may be responsible for increasing, losses. . i Waterfowl populations are build ing up on the Klamath Basin ! refuges. The inventory of August s showed 435.000 waterfowl on Tule Lake and Lower Klamath refuges. Populations can be ex pected to reach several million! during the peak of the fall migra-j tion.

Reports from committee chair men of the forthcoming joint fund drive of the United Fund and Red Cross, plus an introduction to the activities of the American Social Hygiene Association, were on the program of Monday's board meet ing of the VF, heia at me wu- lard Hotel. Guest speaker was Donald A Clarke, San Jose, western regional representative of the ASHA, who gave a brief description of his or ganization s work. The ASHA. which participates in the local United Fund through the Oregon United Appeal, was lound- ed 45 years ago to combat social breakdown through strengthening the family, Clarke said. The organization's program com prises research, education, and as sistance to community organiza tions. Among the ASHA research pro grams are surveys, 95 per cent of them done at the request ot mil itary authorities, of organized vice, particularly prostitution, in various cities. (Klamath Falls has been the subject of several such surveys over the vears. Clarke said. "Your showing has been good for the past five years." he added.) The association also does spec ial research studies of significant social problems, such as one now being done on adolescent behavior, particularly sex patterns. This TAXES DUE Esther Newell, chief deputy tax collector, reminded Klamath Coun ty property owners today that fourth-quarter taxes for 1957-58 be come payable August 15. Interest will be charged after that date. PARACHUTE JUMP LAKEVIEW Pvt. Edward L. Richardson, 22, son of Mr. and Mrs. John W. Richardson, Route 8, Lakeview, Oregon, recently cnmDleted a tactical nighttime par achute jump at Ft. Campbell, Kontuckv. Army authorities an nounced. Richardson, a 1953 grad uate of Lakeview High hchool, en tered the Army in September 1956 after attending Oregon Technical Institute. He completed basic training at Ft. Lewis, Washington and now is a fire team leader in Company D, 327th Infantry. study is being made because there has been an increase in the vener eal disease rate in recent years the problem is one which partic ularly interests the AaHA, which annually makes a nationwide sur vey of the venereal disease situation. The education program concen trates on training teachers so that they may instruct in family life education, and also on the publi cation of informative booklets on social problems. The ASHA pub lished 75 titles and distributed 400, 000 pieces of literature last' year. As far as assistance to commun ity organizations and to govern ment agencies is concerned, this in cludes assistance in combatting problems revealed by ASHA re search or otherwise; sometimes the association finds itself in the po sition of tactical adviser in a cam paign in which entrenched inter ests, possibly within local govern ment, are supporting organized vice. At the same time, the association is primarily an advisory, preven tive group; it does not do "so cial work" or provide for indi vidual treatment, nor does it have local chapters. The organization supports the federative principles exemplified by United Fund or ganizations; the Oregon United Ap peal has approved a request of $116 for ASHA from the Klamath Falls drive. The meeting was presided over by Rollin Cantrall, United Fund president. Richard Laudenschlag- fund drive chairman, called for the reports of the chairmen of the various campaign divisions.

Board, in a Sept. 3, 1957, ruling involving the Great Atlantic & Pacific 'Tea Co., said the old law authorized its regulation on pro ducing records. Moss asked how this law could apply to the NLRB, an independent agency, when it specifically lists only the 10 regular executive departments. NLRB still has given no explanation. 2. An Agriculture Department regulation governing departmen tal cooperation on film produc tions, including a requirement that scripts be submitted for censor ship. 1 his was revised last year after Moss raised objections. 3.

Hoffman (Mich), the lone Republican on the three- man Moss subcommittee, accused the group of glorifying Moss at taxpayers' expense through its ac tions. There was no immediate comment from Moss. Hoffman also alleged that the subcommittee staff leaked infor mation to newsmen in violation of committee agreements. Hoffman s statement was in re ply to a report last week by the subcommittee majority which charged lederal officials are smothering the public's right to know under a secrecy blanket. lhe Democrats Moss and Rep. Dante B. Fascell of Florida also criticized a Commerce Depart ment biography of Secretary Sin clair Weeks as glorification of a federal official at public expense.
