Italian Labor Men
Tour Paper Mills
As Union Guests

Portland Ore. (ILNS)-The Ital-
ian trade union advisory commit
tee, following 4-day visit through
plants of the Crown Zellerbach
Corporation in this area paid high
tribute to the company's labor re-
lations.
The committee, composed of
Guilio Pastore, a member of the
Italian Parliament and head of the
Free Italian General Confederation
of Workers; Giovanni Canni, vice
secretary of the Italian General
Confederation of Labor; and Appio
Claudio Rocchi, head of the labor
and economic section of the Ital-
ian Republican party, made the
West Coast stop as part of s.
week tour of industrial and trade
union centers in the United States.
During their stay there they
were the guests of the Information
al Brotherhood of Pulp, Sulphite
and Paper Mill Workers and the
International Brotherhood of Paper
Makers, representing substantially
all the production employees of
the Crown Zellerbach Company.
After a visit with company and
union officials in San Francisco
and inspection of the firms plant
in San Leandro the trio flew here
for a visit to the Camas Division of
Crown Zellerbach just outside
nearby Vancouver. Accompanied by
a employees with a total of more
than 120 year continuous service
between them, the ERP group
toured the entire Camas plant from
the point where the logs are drawn
from the river to the rail siding
where the finished paper products
are loaded for shipment to the
worlds markets.
Evincing more interest in the
status of the worker than in the
process of paper manufacture, each
member of the group wandered at
random through the plant and
spoke to workers at their machines.
"We have heard from the lips of
the workers themselves of the 15-
year history of sound labor-man-
agement relations, not only in
these plants but in practically the
entire paper industry on the West
Coast" Rocchi said.

SUP JURISDICTION UPHELD

Washington (LPA)-The NLRB
last week made short shrift of the
claim of Natl Union of Marine
Cooks e. Stewards and the unaffil-
lated Pacific Coast Firemen & Oil
ers to jurisdiction over seamen be-
longing to the Sailors Union of
the Pacifc-AFL. Altho they had
no members in the crew Of a Pacific
Coast vessell-all the workers in
volved being represented by the
SUP-the two unions claimed 10
crewmen as theirs by traditional
rights" Th e NLRB, however,
found that SUP has been negotiat-
ing for all organized employees of
the company involved, and has
never conceded the rights, claimed
by the two smaller unions.

soberest, and perhaps most import
ant, conferences to be held in this
city of many conferences in recent
years took place April 1913, 1t
was the economic action confer
ence" called by the Cooperative
League USA, to bring cooperators
both farm and city-together
with representatives of farmers
organizations and trade unions,
plus some of our better Congress
men and public servants-to try
and plan a common line of attack
upon the problem of monopoly con-
troll of our economic life.
The conferees tackled the pro
blem of monopoly from two main
angles: the power of big business
to set the prices for many of the
things which the American people
need, and the ability Of monopoly
to limit Americas future by simply
refusing to expand productive cap
acity.
Several top-notch economists
from the AFL and CIO took part,
as did the three top leaders OF the
Int'l Association of Machinists.
Much consideration was given to
the general topic of the growth of
monopoly and the role of peoples
organizations like unions, co-ops,
and farm groups in combating the
great combines. But most atten-
tion was given to the most import
ant specific examples of artificial
scarcity and concentration of econ
omic control: the power, oil and
steel industries.
Unanimously agreed to was. a
series of recommendations on ex-
panding electric power generating
facilities, not just to lower rates
to farm and urban consumers, but
primarily to lay a foundation for
an expanding, full employment
economy. This will require doubl-
ing of the nations power capacity,
it was pointed out. For this rea-
son, among others, the conference
said, regional power developments
like the st. Lawrence Seaway and
the Missouri and Columbia River
Valley authorities must be speedily
undertaken.
The trade unionists present made
an important contribution to the
discussion Of expanding steel-mak-
ing facilities. They discussed not
only the bottlenecks of the moment,
and the way they limit employ
ment as well as production, but
the necessity for greatly increas-
ing the number of blast furnaces if
full employment and high level
of purchasing power is to be main
tanned. The potential market for
new autos, they explained, will not
be realized unless our steel plant is
increased from it's present 97,OOO,-
000-ton capacity to ITO to ll5,OOO,-
600 tons.
A demand for immediate hear
ings on bills now in Congress to
conduct a thoro study of the steel
industry and to plan ways of
breaking the bottlenecks, thru gov
ernment investment in new plants,
was put forward by the conference.
The union, farm, and coop rep
resentatives were unanimous too
in their demand that the US gov
ernment retain title to the tide
land oil deposits. These should be
developed by cooperatives in the
public interest, they said. And, the

Truman Urges
Senate Vote Funds
For Steam Plant

Washington UPA) - Two inn
portant events for the future Of
hydroeectric power in this country
took place last week.
President Truman aeked Con-
gress for Columbia Valley Adj
ministration to weld together fed
eral activities in the Pac fic north
west for multiple-purpose conser-
walton and water use, including the
generation and transmission Of
power.
2-The Senate, in a d fi"iencv
appropriation bill, voted $1,000, coo
to start construction on $54 ,000,-
900 steam plant for the Tennessee
Valley Authority, the first govern
ment-owned plant of its kind.
There was a bitter fight on the
Senate floor over the steam plant
appropriation. Democrats pointed
out that unless the plant is begun
this year IVA will be unable to
meet growing power demands in
the region.
Sen. Homer Ferguson OR, Mich.
sought to amend the bill to allow
a court test, at taxpayers expense,
of the constitutionality of the de-
velopment Of such power by the
government. The Natl Association
of Electric Companies has already
announced it will go to court about
the steam plant.
In presenting his case for the
Columbia Valley project, President
Truman pointed to the spectacular
success of the iva. properly de-
veloped and preserved" he main
tanned, "the resources of the Col
umbia Valley region can furnish
enormous benefits to the people
living there and to the nation as a
whole"
The federal government has al
ready done a great deal in the
region. Bonneville and rand
Coulee dams have helped to supply
low-cost power to homes and fac
tories. Truman's recommendations
provide for single agency to con-
solidate programs now carried on
by the Bureau of Reclamation,
Bonneville Power Administration
and the Army Engineers.
"This consolidation" says the
President, twill provide not only
for a balanced program of con-
structing dams, irrigation works,
power transmission lines and other
facilities simultaneously for flood
control, navigation, power genera
tion and transmission, fish protec-
ton, and other purposes. 1t is plain
common sense that the planning
and operation Of the system of
river structures is a job for
single agency.
"The Columbia Valley Admins
tration would have the advantages
of a sound foundation of basic
planning already done, and a large
construction program already under
way. The bulk of it's staff would be
secured from existing agencies"
To bring about larger degree
of local participation, Truman sug-
gests that eva be required to have
its headquarters in the region,
easily accessible to the people who
live there. He recommends further
that "the Administration be requir-
ed, with respect to all phases of
its activities, to seek the advice,
assistance, and participation of
State and local governments, agri-
culture, labor and business groups,
education institutions and other
representative groups concerned"
This has been done successfully
with advisory groups in the IVA.

at the moment" He said, how
ever, he expected a "very good
building year in 1850, with hous-
ing volume holding to a, healthy
level"
Only yesterday, the Bureau Of
Labor Statistics reported 1t ex-
pected this years housing con-
struction in tine District area were
nearly double last years 5000
dwellings put under construction.
and to break all previous records.
Most Units FHA Insured.
More than three-fourths of all
rental units put under construc-
ton in this area in the first 10
months of this year-a total Of
81 900 dwellings-were FILA in
sured.
Mr.. Barringer emphasized last
night. however. that the "big part"
Of FHA's District area postwar
program Of apartment building al
ready has been started or prof.
|ected.
He said FILA had either insured
or agreed to insure mortgages on
more than $50 large-scale apart
ment projects in the District area
since May, 1916. when the postwar
program began.
These projects have insurance
on mortgages totaling $500, 200, 900
and are to provide, when all are
completed. a total of nearly 10000
apartments.
A comparatively small number
Of these-estimated at not more
than 500 units-are for Negro
occupancy.
Low Rent Housing Pushed.
Earlier this month, Mr.. Bar
ringer clamped restrictions on
further approval of high rental
and medium rental" projects, but
left the way open for more "low
rental" apartments, and apart
ments for minority group occu-
pancy."
Such minority group" projects,
Mr.. Barringer said in a statement
November S, will receive priority
over any other type of rental
project submitted" by builders.
AS for single family homes, Mr..
Barringer says FILA estimates it
provides financing aids for about
35 per cent Of the District area
production.
Since 1946, the agency has in
sured about $65 900, 900 in such
mortgages covering about 5000
dwelling units, he said. =
In addition. about 5000 units
are now being built by private
builders who have been assured
the dwellings can be financed with
FILA mortgage insurance when
completed, provided they meet
FILA standards.

SEATTLE, Dec. 3.-A hands
off policy, once enforced by a
tommy-gun. governed routing of
lend-lease American CAT cargo
planes through Edmonton. AL
berta, en- route to Russia during
the war.
+ This was the recollection today
of a Seattle Post -Intelligencer
printer. George F. Roberts. 80,
Washington charges of Russian
couriers funneling atomic secrets
out Of the United States via lend
lease planes stirred him to COM
ment.
He said he was stationed as
soldier at Mamao Airport. 10 milea
north of Edmonton. in January,
February and March of 1945. His
duties were to brief pilots on the
northern route to follow.
Interviewed by the Post Intelli-
gencer and the Associated Press,
he said:
When / first arrived at Namao.
I looked into a CAT and started
to inspect its interior. Two plain
clothesmen who looked like Rus
slams aimed a tommygun at me
and showed me out.
II saw huge crates In the plane,
but 1t was impossible in my brief
look to tell what vss in them.
II reported the incident to
Operations. While Operations
never told me to stay of the
CATS, I nevertheless gained a
strong impression that as far as
the ferry command was con-
cerned, we were to never mind
the Russian ships.
THE plain clothes guards-they
were dressed in rather nondeScTipt
blue suits-never let any Of our
personnel into those planes during
the three months I was at Namao.
I never saw a uniformed guard
aboard those planes. Pilots tod
me the guards didn't want hSm
to wander around the interior of
the planes. ..
1.-The ones I saw appeared to
speak to each other in what I
took to be Russian, It certainly
wasn't English. or French or Ger
man. I'm familiar with those
languages. They said nothing in
English to me, merely brandish-
ing the gun.
1T seemed Illogical to me to
have tommy-gun guards on
American planes going to Russia.
We were shipping a lot Of air
plane parts, butter and so forth to
Russia along the Alcan route, and
there'd be no reason to place a
guard over cargo Of that Sort"
The Namao airport was q spe-
cial ferry command base, Mr..
Roberts said. The lend-lease
planes used Namao instead Of the
big military airport on Edmon-
toms outskirts.

pilots took over, flying via Galena
and Nome to Russia. The Alaska

in the public service and sums
representing the cost of convert
ing consumers appliances for the

Another point urged was that

apply to gas consumed before the

order the new rates would be ap-
piled on bills resulting from me-
