Unions Plan Portland Action PORTLAND (AP) Because of two recent major successes, union organizers say, they plan to concentrate their immediate efforts in the Portland area on live staff, with responsibility centered now in Dr. Cobb. "Dr. Cobb must come up in a year's time with ideas noticeably more effective than we have had so far," Spears said. Beside the issue of racial balance in schools, Cobb plans to push the development of classroom study units on the Negro's role in American life and better equipping teachers to foster racial understanding.

For the long run, Cobb said, "I'd like to see not only changes in attitude on acceptance, but food industries.
