HERALD AND NEWS. Klamath Falls. Ore. Fridav. November 18. 19fi0 PAGE 7 A Organization Of Farm Worker Sparks Debate CORVALLIS (APl-The ques tion of whether larm workers; should be organized into unions was argued Tuesday before a meeting of the Oregon Horticul tural Society. Norman Smith of Stockton, Calif., director of the Agricultural orkers Organizing Committee, taid that "agricultural workers are the poorest paid, the lowest Income earners and the most un derprivileged in our economy. Simple human justice demands that these people be given an op portunity to raise themselves to the same standards enjoyed by others." But John Zuekorman, a spokes man for the Council of California Growers at Stockton, said that if the workers organize, the family sized farm will vanish. "Farm workers don't want to he organized," he said. "The total achievement of the union has been one of harassment of growers through pressures put on them by an administration friendly to the union cause and to incur for the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee itself not only law suits and claims for damages but the dubious distinction of having come very close to wrecking Cali fornia's No. 1 industry, agricul ture." The society awarded the Hart man trophy to Robert E. Shinn of Salem for the part he played in developing the multi-million dollar cherry brining industry in the state. Shinn is manager of the Willam ette Cherry Briners Association. The award was presented by Henry Hartman former head of the horticulture department at Oregon State College, for whom it has been named. County Officials Told Full Utilization In State Needed Bus Plunges Off Highway, 5 Injured COOS BAY (AP) Five men were injured but 21 others es caped unharmed Thursday when a bus plunged off a highway and submerged upside down in the Al legany River. The men, loggers for the Weyer- haeuser Timber Co., kicked out the windows and waded through the icy water to shore. The most seriously hurt was the driver. Jerald LeRoy Baker, 39, Coos Bay. Four loggers were hospitalized. They were reported in good condition. The accident occurred on a road four miles east of Coos Bay. Police said that a rock slide crashed down onto the road in front of an oncoming milk truck. The truck ran up the slide and slipped over into the bus which was coming the other way. Archie Button, one of the log gers, said it was "like spinning around in one of those airplanes at the carnival." He said he was one of the last to get out. "Others were going out on the other side as I went out. They all seemed pretty cool about it," he said. The injured loggers are J. C, Grizzle, 46; Richard Earl Smitts 40; George Walter Reid, 37; and Sidney Stillion, 59, all of the Coos Bay area. Police identified the driver of the milk truck as Garland Fry. Annala Is Wary On Candidacy HOOD RIVER (AP) Rep. George Annala (D-Hood River', mentioned as a possible compro mise candidate for Speaker of the House, is wary about the situation. "The Democratic Party has not been too enthusiastic about my candidacy. So I have made no plans. After all, a fellow gets tired of getting beat over the head," said Annala. The Democrats have only a 31 29 edge in House seats in the coming legislature, and it is not certain they can win a majority for their expected candidate, Rep. Robert Duncan of Medford, who was speaker in the last session. Annala and Rep. Katherine Musa (D-The Dalles) some times do not vole with the Democrats If they abstain, neither the Demo crats or Republicans could win a majority vole. If that situation develops, will Annala then offer himself as a compromise candidate? "Well, as I've said, I've just made no plans. I'm not going to get into that situation until it is apparent that no one else is pos sible," Annala said.

(AP)-There'll be plenty of cranberries for your table this coming holiday season despite a poor crop in the Pacific Northwest. A record crop of 1,315,000 bar rels that's 131 million pounds has been harvested, 60 per cent of it in Massachusetts. Nevertheless, said Ambrose E. Stevens, executive vice president of Ocean Spray Cranberries, Inc., it will be two years probably be fore the industry regains the markets it lost a year ago. Federal authorities banned much of the 1959 crop from the market Nov. 9, 1959, after labora tory tests showed a weed killer used in growing the berries may have been the cause of thyroid cancer in rats. Sales of berries, ruled edible after tests, dropped 75 per cent in November, 1959. Growers were paid 10 million dollars in indem nities. Since then sales have improved percentagewise but the volume still is down. Explained Stevens: "Advertising and promotion pro duces sales. Failure to advertise and pro mote results in sales losses. "We haven't been advertising because we couldn't afford it. "But now we've begun a sales campaign and conditions should improve."

Fort Klamath Mr. and Mrs. Ben Corona left Saturday for Hollister where they will spend the winter at the Haw kins Cattle Company ranch. They were at the local Hawkins ranch about it and you can do a betlc job than anyone else who is work ing on it," the publisher of th. Pendleton East Oregonian told of ficials at the annual banquet of the Association of Oregon Coun ties. Full utilization will bring many changes, he said. In lumber for example: "The sun is rapidly setting in negon for the small operator. It s becoming increasingly difficult or him lo survive against the big .ompanies and by having only lumber and plywood to sell." Forrester added that big com panies develop additional income through production of pulp and other by-products. ! He also suuncsted more fond processing plants to balance farm production in Oregon. More live j stock grow ing also is needed, he said, adding that Oregon produces only $1 in animals for each $3 in crops while in Iowa the ratio is $4 in animals to every $1 in crops. I Forrester also expressed belief full use of water may be the most difficult to obtain. "It is hard to get the farmers llo agree on controls, but the time will come when they must," hs said. He blamed the lack of water control for industry's reluctance to come to Oregon. 2 DAY Service KK T.tl HKO W tO MAIN H ) TOWN4COUKTIV i ..
