UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD, Portland S. Ottina City Council To Cite AF Of I. On Building Rules The city council last night in structed the city attorney to draft a letter to the Central Labor coun cil, AF of L, calling attention to restrictions provided in the Duua inx ordinance. The Central Labor council is erecting a labor temple. costing an estimated j.w.ooo, at Cobb and Rice streets. The letter is merely, the council pointed out, to have a definite understanding of the use to which the building win ue pui. The building ordinance permits the erection of club or fraternal buildings in residential class 2 zones, in which this building will be located, but specifically elim inates business buildings. Rumors that the building is to be used as a hiring hall or for other purposes which constitute a business have been denied by labor council spokesmen, according to the coun cil's information. Such purposes would be strictly forbidden under the ordinance. Permit for the building was taken out in Febru ary. Ground construction work has just been started. Miscellaneous Matters ' Discussion was held on possible restriction of parking on parts of South Stephens street. The street department and city manager were asked to s.udy the problem. Mayor Albert G. Flegel an nounced that the city and county officials have been granted a 15 minute audience with the state highway commission at 11:30 a.m., May 26, to discuss highways in the Roseburg area. A class A beer license was granted the Monogram. The li cense merely involved a change in partnership, luting Howard h., and G.

May 16 The 60-year-old owner of a fishing tackle shop broke up a holdup last night by throwing flaming gasline at one of two intruders. Joseph J. Levine told police he waa in his living quarters behind the ahop cleaning a fishing reel with gasoline when two men with revolvera walked in. They demanded hia money, took $55 from a cash register, and began to aearch for more. Levine was permitted to smoke. After lighting a cigaret he tlrew the match into a quart can of gaso line. When the liquid flared he tossed it at one of the men and grappled with the other. Escaping, he ran into the street calling for police. The two men ran out the back door. In addition to the money taken from the .cash register, bonds snd currency totaling $110 were re ported missing, along with a dia mond ring and a wrist watch.

What difference la mere between such action when carried on by a labor union and when car ried on Dy a farmers organiza tion? It is my understanding that the law is no respector of persons. All, the poor and the rich, the weak and the ctrong, must be treated alike . . . While I doubt the wis dom of milk producers affiliating with labor unions, it is none of my business so long as they act law fully." He indicated the farmers' asso ciation was an association of busi nessmen, not a local union directly affiliated with any national or in ternational union, but said it was not necessary to decide that ques tion in this case. Outlining the duties of the milk marketing administration, the judge noted, "It wU) be seen that the board and the administrator may regulate every phase of the milk industry. In return for the small benefits conferred by the act, those engaged in the business must surrender the freedom to con duct their own affairs." One point on which Judge Wim berly differed with the defendants was the claim by defense counsel that the right to picket was a part of the doctrine of free speech. "That doctrine," the judge wrote, "was adonted by Mr. Roosevelt'a 'New Deal' supreme court, which, ever since, has been obliged to ex plain, qualify, restrict and at times deny that right. Personally, I am opposed to all picketing ... A, realistic view of picketing is mat its main purpose is preventing all work in the place picketed." , Ohlsen Also Scored In his ruling, the judge did not soft pedal his opinion of the milk marketing administration, nor of Administrator Thomas L. Ohlsen of Portland. He outlined in caustic fashion the duties and performance of the administrator and noted, "He was formerly employed by the United States government. He is a typical bureaucrat, except that he appears to be a 'weak sister.' " The judge concluded his decision by declaring, "I pass the ball to Ohlsen. He will probably fumble it as he has done before. Under the milk control law, it is his duty to 'act as mediator and arbiter in any controversial issue that may arise between milk producers and distributors.' He has never done that." Farmers today begin their 14th consecutive day of picketing at Umpqua dairy in support of their request to keep wholesale milk prices at present levels. The dairy has proposed to cut the price to stateauthorized minimums. The teamsters union entered the dispute when truck drivers and plant employes refused to cross the picket line, contending it was an AF of L picket line. The pro ducers group affiliated with the Roseburg Central Labor council, AF of L, several months ago. Students Win Fight To Kill Campus Eating Rule BATON ROUGE, La., May 16 P Cheering student demon strators won legislative backing last night in their protest against an order requiriig co-eds to eat ail their meals on the campus. About 400 marching co-eds and rebel-minded boy friends clattered into the state capitol and jammed the House gallery. Gov. Eirl K. Long complimented the students on their industry in familiarizing themselves with legis lative proceedure. A teen-age voice piped up. "that ain't what we're here for!" The atudents carried a I g n a against "socialized eating." One placard stated "we won't lockstep to lunch." Another asked: "who wants to die three times a day?" The legislators, in joint session, quickly approved a resolution in troduced that LSU officials recon sider and recall the order, effective next fall. 'DRUNK' FORFEITS BAIL I.ee Vincent Sade, 42.

PORTLAND, May 16- P) American occupa'M army offi cials were credited here yesterday with saving German forests in the allied occupation lone. Two German foresters, on a tour sponsored by the' European recovery administration, aaid U.S. foresters had stopped heavy cut ting in Germany that had gone on immediately after the war. County Siegfried Von Der Recks, assistant chief of the forestry di vision in the American lone of Germany, and Dr. George Ferst forest master of Bavaria, said in the French and British zones there was "clear cutting" for two years after the war. It has now been stormed, they said. They said the U. S. experts had recognized the "forests are neces sary to our economy and our water SUDDly." Despite the action of U.
