Amerita's 5 Foreign Policy, Regarding Flow of Dollars,
 Food Ett., 10 Be Discussed

WASHINGTON, June B. = R- President Truman, going part way with Republican Senator Vanden- berg, called for outside help today in weighing Ameirca's foreign aid policy with this country's ability to pay.
 The Democratic Chief Executive designated 19 leaders of business, labor, agriculture, education ard research as a non partisan" com mittee to advise him on how much help can safely and wisely be sent abroad.
 The implication was plain; that the United States may find it neces- ;ary to stem the flow of dollars, food, fuel and materials to war damaged nations.
 The impact upon our domestic economy" of such aid is cf grave concern to every American" said MT. Trumans announcement last night. and merits most careful study
 It was equally clear that the President was making a final effort to prevent the bipartisan foreign policy from piling up in the yeto- strewn wreckage of his domestic legislative program
 MT Truman took the words safe ly and wisely" from the call Van- denberg sounded 10 days ago for a council of Democrats and Repubii- cans to help set the limits within which this government can plan it's economic help to foreign nations.

The w ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-In austere and digniiied Supreme Court circles there is a situation which the Jus tices don't talk about publicly, but which is causing mingled embar- rassment, chuckles and resentment. It's the fact that one member of the Court is soldering on the job.
 He is Justice Harold Burton of Ohio who to date has written only three majority opinions during the entire year. This is the lowest out put in several years of Supreme Court history, and Court attaches whisper-hehind their hands-that if Burton wasn't protected by the Supreme Court Union" he would have been reprimanded or jostled eff the bench long ago.
 Ill contrast Justice William O. Douglas, even though sick for two months, has written 26 majority opinions, while Justice Hugo Black also has written 26.
 Justice Burton, on the other hand, seems to think that being on the Supreme Court is not for the purpose of handing down opinions but to enjoy a continual round of parties. There is scarcely a party of any importance in Washington where he does not appear-includ- ing also some parties not so inn portant.
 Justice and Mrs. Burton were to be seen recently at the Afghanis- tan reception-a country some people scarcely know exists-and when Ambassador Jawdat of Iraq entertained in honor of His Mai esty, King Faisal of Iraq, the Jus tice turned up to drink toast. Whether it be reception in honor of Ohio Congressman, in this case given by Burton himself, or cock tail party to inspect portrait of ex-Attorney General Francis Riddle, painted by his brother, or tea at the Czech Embassy, Justice Bur- ton always seems to be there.
 It's got to be more than a joke around Washington. It's come to the point that when Justice Hugo Black leaves a dinner party at 10 pm. in order to go home and work on an opinion, guests pointedly re-

BIG TANKER ExpL0DE5 AT
 WILMINGTON
California Harbor Scene of Calamity IA Men
 Believed Killed

WILMINGTON, Calf, June 23- R-At least two, and probably IA men were dead today after a $l0,- 100000 ship-explosion fire-Los An geles Harbors costliest calamity which only fate and foresight ap- parently kept from becoming an- ether Texas City"
 The ll,083-ton tanker Markay blew up with 2,940,000 gallons of fuel in triple explosion that rag ed several docks and-harbor auth critics said-missed igniting huge petroleum storage tanks only be- cause of favorable winds.
 Two bodies were recovered from the nartc--. ~-ss.ortly after the blast
 6 Hours To Control
 The blaze--at it's height visible some 12 miles at Sea-required six hours to bring under control.
 The harbor, since the Texas City disaster, had been alerted for just such blast. Within moments fire equipment rolled from as far distant as downtown Los Angeles, B miles away, under an emergency disaster plan, and fireboats raced out from Long Beach.
 As investigators began their probe today, 12 men were listed as miss ing, with some 30 injured. l2 suf- ficiently to be hospitalized.
 Cause Undetermined
 Cause of the explosion was unde- termined, but crew members charg- ed the operating company, Key stone Shipping Co.,, of Philadelphia with negligence. A company agent, however, declared that "all ordin- ary precautions and many more" were observed.
 William Anderson, division sup erintendent for Keystone, said in- vestigation would be made at once but declined comment until we account for everybody"
 At least IS crew members were believed aboard the Markay, which had been loading high-octaine gas- oline. when the first blast split the 520-foot vessel at 2:05 am. lPST) yesterday. Flames leaping 200 feet or more, engulfed the ship, and leaped across oil flows to the Am crican President lines docks.

LABOR BILL I5 NOW IN
 U. }. LAWS
Senate 0verrides Veto by Vote of 68 10 25-Tru-
 man loses 10 Taft

WASHINGTON, June 23-tN-- The Taft-Hartley Labor Bill be- came the Law of the Land today.
 The Senate overrode President Truman's veto and his all-out op- position, 68 to 25.
 This was six vosvs more than the required two-thirds majority more even than the Bills support CTS had expected.
 And the Chamber spurned final appeal which the President sent by Democratic Leader Barkley (KyJ two hours before the rollcall.
 The President insisted that this dangerous legislation" will cut ''o.'r national unity" and so render distinct disservice not only to this nation but to the world"
 Senator Taft tR-Ohio) told the tense Senate just before it voted, however, that the COP Congress would be held delinquent" if it failed to pass the bill. He shouted that unions today are big busi- ness and should have the same srespoilsihility as cofporations'' Truman's Setback The outcome was Mfr Truman's sharpest setback at the hands of the Republican, controlled Congress. elected last November.
 It was a tremendous victory for Taft. Widely mentioned as pos sible COP Presidential candidate next year, Taft sponsored the bill with Rep. Hartley (R-N.J).
 The Senate showdown found 20 Democrats going along with 48 Re- publicans to override. For uphold ing the President and his veto were 22 Democrats and three Republi- Senators Langer (NDD, Ma lone (Nev.) and Morse (Ore).
 Historic Ballot
 The full strength of the Senate was on hand tor the historic bal lot with the exceptions of Senator Wagner (D-NY). ill in New York. Senator Ebert Thomas (D-Utah, who is in Geneva, and Senator Bill bo tD-Miss), who has not taken the oath Even if all of them had been here and voted to uphold the veto it would have made no diff ference
 So the Taft-Hartley Act of l947 took it's place in the law books be- side the Wagner act of 1885 and new era of aEor-management re- lations in America was born.
 Issue Up To Courts
 Its first phases seem bound to Dc marked by disputes and litigation as were those of the Wagner Act as unions and employers test out the new acts terms. The Supreme Court in the end will have to de- eide what many of them mean, as it did with the Wagner Act and even still is doing decade after wards
 Provisions which the courts are likely to be asked to clarify par ticularly are those dealing with union security. damage liability of unions for jurisdictional strikes and breach of contract, and unfair practices by unions.
 The new law bans the closed shop, under which non-unioniSts may not be hired, but permits the union shop with certain restric- tions. Tn a union shop, non-union- ists may be hired but then must join up.
 The House last week overrode the veto by vote of 33l to 8l.

When we rounded a turn, saw
an unbelievable sight: Two rivers
were rushing head-on and spout
ing up like a whale where they came
together. The rivers were the Little
and the North Umpqua.
We sped on to Billy's fathers
lumber camp. Men were cutting
and hauling out giant logs. At the

ready to be shipped;

During the month Of March. I
experienced my first cave trip. The
group with which I went were mem
bers OF the National Speleology
Society. was the youngest men,
Der of the party, as the others were
adults.
We explored three wild caves
(caves that have not been developed
and opened to the public and one
developed cave. The most interest
ing wild cave had a drop OF about
20 feet in the back. Two members
of the group descended it by rope.
They found formation with iron
running through the middle. A small
tunnel was discovered, but the oxy-
gen gave out, so it was impossible to
traverse farther.
1 had TO dress warmly, as 1t be-
came quite cold in the caves. The
farther underground you go. the
colder it becomes. Right now 1t
probably would be very nice to live
underground.
This trip was an experience that
shall never forget. 1t launched my
liking for speleology.
