Russia Scraps Her Friendship
Pact With Tito's Yugoslavia
LONDON, Sept. 29. (API Soviet Russia scrapped her
friendship treaty of 1945 with Yugoslavia today, declaring that
Premier Marshal Tito's regime has lined up with "foreign im
perialist circles."
Russia declared the Budapest treason trial of former Hun
garian Foreign Minister Rajk, sentenced to death Saturday,
disclosed Yugoslavia had been carrying on hostile activity
against the Soviet Union.
Rajk was accused specifically of plotting with Yugoslavia
and American agents to overthrow the Moscow backed Com
munist government in Hungary. Marshal Tito denounced the
trial as a Russian propaganda move aimed at weakening his
Yugoslav regime.
The Russian action was the sharpest diplomatic slap at
Yugoslavia since the Moscow-led Cominform expelled the
Yugoslavs in June, 1948.
Since that time Russia and her eastern European satellites
have clamped an economic boycott on Yugoslavia.
Sober Rattling Charged
Marshal Tito on Tuesday accused Russia of rattling the saber
and digging trenches in the satellite countries along the Yugo
slav border in an attempt to intimidate his country.
There was immediate speculation here that other Communist
nations may follow Russia's lead and sever formal ties with
the Yugoslavs.
Yugoslavia has friendship end mutual aid treaties with Al
bania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland and Romania.
As a result of the Budapest trial, Hungary expelled 10
Hungarian diplomats from Budapest and Tito retaliated by
expelling nine Yugoslav legation attaches from Belgrade.

Developments
Bv THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Dynamite blasts wrecked non
union mine tipples In Pennsyl
vania and Kentucky today in the
fourth straight day of violent out
breaks in the nation's coal fields.
The explosion at Butler Coun
ty, Ky., caused several thou
sands dollars worth of damage.
A tipple and nearby motor house
were destroyed and the country
side rocked for several miles.
The Pennsylvania blast at
Grass Flats was blamed by Ro
berly M. Smith, president of the
Junedale Coal company on Unit
ed Mine Workers pickets.
"There's no doubt about it,
'Smith declared. "It was an out-and-out
case of sabotage."
He estimated damage at $10,
000. William F. Minton. president
of UMW district 28, told a report
er "no" when asked if he thought
the union miners would return to
the pits in Virginia mines before
a contract is signed'.
At least 2,550 non-union miners
were working in coal operations.
Of these 1,350 were on the Job In
western Pennsylvania, 1,000 in
Iowa and about 200 In Kentucky.
In Virginia, non-union men were
working part time.
Negotiationi Resumed
Meanwhile John L, Lewis' Unit
ed Mine Workers were to resume
negotiatons today with two big
branches of the coal Industry
amid a stormy background of
blasting, gunfire and stone hurl
ing. The Mine Work era wrath
against non-union men working
the pits in defiance of the union
brought this fast-breaking chain
of events:
1. A gunfire flareup at Jasper,
Ala., reportedly resulted In the
death of one miner and the ser
ious wounding of another. The
sheriff there said he could not
confirm the death, however.
2. Governor William M. Tuck
declared a state of emergency in
Virginia.
3. The Kanawha county, West
Va., school board ordered Its
school buses off the highways in
fear of battling between pickets
and non union workers.
It was with this background
that Lewis' union was to confer
with leaders of the Southern Coal
Operators and of the Northern
and Western men.
The walkout of 480,000 miners
entered Its 11th day today. Lew

ROSEBURG, OREGON THURSDAY,
Jne new pact runs two and a
half years, giving hope of long
peace in the industry.
Effective Oct. 1, providing It Is
ratified by rank and file Ford
workeu, the new contract is
uique in the auto industry's his
tory in at least three respects:
1 It calls for the first major
pension plan, and the company
agreed tor the first time to
shoulder the entire tinancial re-
sponsibility for pensions,
2 For the first time, the
union lot Its demand for an hourly
wage increase go by the board in
favor of security provisions. The
present w age rate of $1.65 an hour
will be continued.
3 The 30-month duration, a
record in the auto Industry.
May Set General Pattern
The pact may well affect mil
lions of workers in the nation's
other heavy industry particular
ly the steel workers.
Ford Vice-President John S.
Bugas said his firm's pension
agreement was based on the ex
penditure of the 10-ccnt an hour
limit recommended by a presiden
tial fact-finding board in the steel
industry.
That "package" has not yet
been granted to steel workers and
a atrike has been set for midnight

"This agreement," President
Reuthrr of the aulomohlle work
ers' union said, "points the way n
the steel Industry, where they are
resisting a principle established
here that a pension should be
entirely company-financed. It will
lay the ground-work in our Indus
try for moving forward."
Good Two-Way Bargain
Bugas, who estimated his com
pany eventually would be paying
$20,000,000 a year for pensions,
called the settlement "a very good
bargain for Ford, Its employes
and the union."
He based his estimate on a

On Picket Injunction
THE DALLES, Ore.. Sept. 29.
.f) CIO longshoremen from
Portland's waterfront streamed
in here today but patroling state
police said everything was quiet
after yesterday's head-bashing.
Gov. Douglas McKay ordered
police here to curb what he called
''banditry" by the longshoremen.
Unofficial estimates put the num
ber of police at 40 to 60. The gov
ernor said "we have plenty of
tough boys to send" If needed.
"Harry Bridges Is not runnlnf
the state of Oregon."
Trouble flared up suddenly yes
terday afternoon when club
swinging longshoremen rushed
the port terminal where cases of
canned pineapple from strike
bound Hawaii were being un
loaded. '
They sent two AFL teamsters
to a hospital, raised bumps on
several heads and halted tha
unloading.
A spokesman for the Hawaiian
Pineapple company, owner of tha
$800,000 cargo barged here Satur
day from the islands, said It waa
virtually certain that unloading
would not be resumed today. He
said that despite a temporary re
straining order issued against tha
longshoremen yesterday, the out
come of a permanent anti-picket-Ing
injunction hearing in circuit
court tomorrow would be awaited.
In Portland, W. E. Mackey,
longshore secretary, said "at least
as many" longshoremen would be
here today as yesterday. The num
ber then was estimated at 200 to
300.
Mackey said Portland might be
nearly denuded of longshoremen
coming here "to see what's going
on." They will not be picketing,
he said. He added that army grain
ships and general steamship com
r -ny vessels In Portland would be
worked, as well as any others for
which men were available. Gen
eral steamship has priority, he
said, because the company has a
contract requiring some loading
io oe none Dy uci. 1.
This followed a statement last
night by Longshore Businesa
Agent Toby Christenson that
there might be few workers on
the Portland waterfront.
- "We're not telling the boys not
to go to work tomorrow. That's
Illegal under Taft-Hartley (law).
We ve got a contract to work. But
if they think they'd rather take a
drive up the new Columbia river
highway to see the scenery, wa
can't stop them," Christenson
said.

want Is for them to send that
