Painters Tell of
Dangers Of New Spray

KLAMATH FALLS Strong safety
regulations and safety training pro-
gram in the use of a new device, the
Hydro Airless Spray, were strongly
recommended by the Oregon State
Conference of Painters at its annual
meeting here.
Bob Lewis and Herb Radatz of
Painters Local 10, Portland. de-
scribed the very serious injuries that
can result from the use of this high
pressure device by men who don't
know its dangers.
One member of Local 10 was so
seriously injured by the spray that he
required repeated surgery and lost
a finger from a gangrene infection,
Lewis reported.
The state Painters conference
called upon the State Industrial Acct
dent Commission to establish a safety
training program for men who will
use the Hydro Ainless Spray, and to
set stringent safety regulations for
it's use.

The Governor says ''the nation
can be proud of the farmers for
voting down the wheat referendum.
He said they are seeking to return
to their traditional freedoms"
Fred Barrett, Democratic State
Chairman, says, 'The die is cast +. /.
let's wait and see what the future
holds for the Montana agricultural
community.
1t will indeed be interesting to
watch what this freedom" will bring
to farmers and the agricultural COM
munity.
One of the first freedoms will prob
ably be evident in the Tightening of
the farmers financial belts; and the
immediate recipient of the blessing"
will be on main street. While the most
deadly effects of the failure of the
referendum may not be felt by the
farmer today, the mood of the farm
community as indicated by yester-
days vote augurs nothing to instill
confidence in those who recognized
the need and wisdom of a federal
program.
Farmers will be able to vote again
next year,. but within a year a lot
of good people could lose their land
in what will amount to "shake OUT.
AS President Kennedy has said, the
farmers have spoken; and as Fred
Barrett says, the die is cast.
Montana is an agricultural state
and the ramifications will be felt
keenly here. The pain will begin on
main street, because farmers must
prepare for their battle with the Stree
market" in the exercise of their ''tra-
freedom, if they do not
have assurance of meeting the cost
of raising their crop they will not

FPC Can't Touch
Electric Co-ops,
Humphrey Says

WASHINGTON, ID. C.-(CNS)-
Senator Hubert Humphrey (D-Minn.)
majority party whip, warned the Fed
eral Power Commission May that
it has no authority to regulate cleo
trio co-ops.
FPC's muscle isn't needed to pro-
tect the investors and customers of
consumer-owned enterprises, Hum
phrey said in speech on the Senate
floor. ''How ridiculous can one get?"
Early this year the commission
staff listed % electric co-ops as sub
ject to FPC jurisdiction. Humphrey
said he was "astounded".
The co-ops refund their year-end
net margins to their customers and
pass on their savings in reduced
rates." the Senator said. There's
no need for FPC regulation to
make sure that consumers aren't
overcharged."
Aside from SIS membership fees,
the investors in rural electric co-ops
are the nations taxpayers, and Rural
Identification Administration is
protecting them, Humphrey said. He
cited the co-op's outstanding repay
ment record.
Twice Congress has refused to give
FPC authority over the co-ops, Hum
phrey noted. When Congress approved
the Rural Electrification Act in 1886,
senators considered giving REA and
FPC joint responsibility for power
studies and reports. Later, however,
they stripped the bill of any refer
ence to FPC."
Ten years later the Senate rejected
a proposal requiring the REA to get
FPC approval before lending money
for an electric coop generating plant.
If the commission wants to en-
gage in empire building, Hum
phrey said, it must come to Con-
gress for statutory authority to
regulate the electric co-ops. T'm
confident Congress would reject
any such proposal"

Atlanta Paper
Hits Georgiu's
Open Shop Law

| ATLANTA, Ga. - One of the
South's oldest and most eminent news
papers has served notice that Geor-
gia's so-called "right-to-work'' law
is crippling the states economy and
that repeal of the legislation is ''long
overdue.
The demand for repeal of Georgia S
archaic 1947 anti-collective bargain
ing law was voiced by the ATLANTA
CONSTITUTION. Georgia was one
of the first of the southern states to
enact so-called fright work" leg
islation.
The article, which was featured in
the CONSTITUTIONS business Sec
ton under an eight-column banner
headline. 'Is 'Right-to- Work A
Crippler and Repeal Overdue?" de-
clared:
'More and more Georgians are be-
coming fed up with poverty and un-
sympathetic with laws which threaten
to prolong the states economic sub
servience.'

laws somehow stimulate economic

impact of "right-to-work' laws on the
economy of states that have enacted
these laws, conducted by DR.. Milton

and Economics at the University of
Vermont, the newspaper stated that
both hourly manufacturing wages and
per capita personal income in the
"right-to-work' states "have been
falling farther and farther behind the
national averages"

will be "make do" year ON the farm.
1t is not expected that the price of
food will go down, but most surely
the cost to the government will go
up; many farmers will not pay taxes
and the state Golfers will suffer.
This is freedom; perhaps "tradi-

brings in this case the farmers and
the agricultural community chose it
of their own free will; if it doesn't
