Let's Separate the Guilty and Innocent No one can deny or confirm, other than by rumor, the “blistering denunciation of farm labor contractors in Oregon” as a 91-page report by the state bureau of labor has been described by the Oregon Journal. Both of Portland’s daily newspapers have jumped with apparent glee into a controversy about migrant labor contractors and alleged merchant kickbacks, but their star report ers, whose by-lines are carried on feature stories, are exemplifying sloppy reporting by quoting only parts of the 91-page report. Stan Weber, who has the grandiose title of labor- management reporter for the Oregon Journal, has writ ten an ambiguous feature patterned after the style of Drew Pearson and Westbrook Pegler. Weber seems in sistent on indicting the guilty and innocent merchants and labor contractors with a scatter-gun that peppers retail business firms in Malheur county. For instance Weber wrote, “The vivid 91-page report, delivered by Tom Current, assistant state commissioner of labor, charged that ‘typical examples’ of misconduct by farm labor contractors are cheating workers and farmers for a single service or expense, getting kick- backs from merchant and tavern operators patronized by the contractors’ laborers, and trafficking in marijuana and prostitution.” Weber continued to write from the report and in his own words stated: “They (labor bureau staff members) secured information on 242 contractors, crew leaders, recruiters and major lieutenants, most of whom operate in Malheur county in the sugar beet fields.” The Gate City Journal (not to be confused with the Oregon Journal) surveyed Nyssa department and food stores as well as other retail business firms and was told in strong terms they never had been approached by a labor contractor for kickbacks” the gallant Oregon Jour nal reporter (not to be confused with the Gate City Jour nal) implied was taking place. All of these same mer chants denied having been questioned, interviewed or even visited by any representative of the state bureau of labor. The bureau of labor, and especially Mr. Current, have exposed themselves or have been exposed by one of the crusading Portland dailies, this time the Oregonian, to what might be termed questionable procedure. The Ore gonian boldly stated, “Current told the interim commit tee of what his survey team had uncovered after six months of exhaustive investigation. In his report, Cur rent did not name names. The survey, he later told the Oregonian, was not a criminal investigation but a socio logical one. However, he added, his group has document ed names, dates and places.” The Gate City Journal does not uphold any wrong doing nor does it deny that the situation may be as bad as the report seems to indicate. We do question the ad visability of the politically inspired insinuations and raise the question, “Why are no arrests being made?" If the bureau of labor is not a criminal investigating agen cy, but a sociological one, why are not their facts turned over to law enforcement agencies and prosecution pro ceedings started? Whether the guilty are 50 percent of the total, 75 percent or 90 percent, the remaining 50 per cent, 25 percent or 10 percent, who would obviously be innocent, should be exonerated.

Portland’s two daily newspapers have reached be yond the Blue Mountains to feature wrong-doing, which probably exists, but they have made no effort to check facts other than the “top secret” survey of the bureau of labor. The 91-page survey was not made available to The Gate City Journal. Oregon’s great metropolis has gained nation-wide no toriety through Jim Elkins, prostitution, gangland poli tics, knifings, extortion and unsolved murders, which bring nothing but alibis from The Oregon Journal and The Oregonian. The OJ has been soft-peddling the Fourth of July holiday fireworks explosion that took two lives, injured dozens of people and brought hundreds of thous ands of dollars in property damage. All of that daily’s features have been directed at excuses implying “nothing could have been done” and future regulations “might in fringe on personal rights.” Of course, the two metropolitan dailies reach less than 10 percent of the homes in the Nyssa area and their cir culation departments are hopelessly indifferent to any thing but building up Portland area newspaper sales with scare headlines. We call upon the bureau of labor to start proceedings immediately, through local, county or state law enforce ment agencies, against the labor contractors or any mer chants involved in kickbacks. The Gate City Journal w ill publish their names, if any action is taken, thus exonerating the merchants and contractors who are not a part of the sorry mess. >QR€€n 5 T f t m P 5 °RS MARKET LDS Two-Stake Primary Convo Held in Nyssa PTA Executive Officers Meet Thursday Eve Syrup Sperry — 4 Pound . . 3 for PANCAKE FLOUR 53< Hunt's — 46 Oz. - 04W * Tomato Juice Reg. 33c , . 3 for O / ^ Florida Gold — 303 Cans GRAPEFRUIT SECTIONS . . . . 4 for 7 9 $ ; Indian Gem — 46 Oz.
