Volun teers were rushed in from neigh boring towns and from the Doilnr Lumber company and Hayward s mill Friday night to checK tne fire's advance, aiding fire crews trom the protective association. Fire Chief Cox said the fire was at its worst Saturday and Sunday, spreading in spite of the com' bincd efforts of fire fighters. He said the fire not awav again Sun day night and that crews are r.till working .hard today. Cox also reported an injury to one unidentified fire 1 1 g h t e r. thought to have been attached to the forest protective association He said the exact extent of the man's injury was not known but that he thought the injury was slight.

Silver butte and Mt. Scott. How ever, he said the general weather report for the immediate future calling for more dry winds and low humidity, indicates the worst may not be over.

UP) The National Labor Relations board today refused to go along with general counsel Hobert N. Den ham in waiving union shop elec tions in the widely scattered build ing and construction industry. Denham had asked the board last Dec. 19 to recognize the difficulty in conducting the elections in the industry which employes about 2.000.000 workers. He suggested waiving the elec tions despite the Taft-Hartley act provision requiring workers to vote on proposed union shop agree ments. Under a union shop arrangement, all workers must join a union within a short period after they are hired. The board's special policy state- ment on the issue was another round in the feud between the five- man panel and Denham. The board said the legal requirement for the union shop elections is clear and must be followed. Earlier this year the board sup ported President Truman's unsuc cessful effort to have Congress eliminate Denham s job. The hoard's statement, in effect, accused Denham of not obeying the law in waiving the elections. This follows repeated contentions by Denham that the board, too. is ignoring plain provisions of the Taft-Hartley act. Chas. S.

The council will study the bids today and make their decision at a special, meet ing called, also, for the purpose of canvassing of the airport election votes Wednesday at 5:15 p. m. Trowbridge Electric submitted an overall bid of $10,750, using either General Electric or West inghouse fixtures. There was slight variation in the figures, but the overall bid was the same. Alter nates were listed, reducing the to tal by $3,133.31, if the city did the ditching, base excavation and backliu. A bid for materials only was submitted by Industrial Electric for a total of $4,906.52. less 2 per cent discount. Westinghouse bid on four material items only, includ ing metal standards, luminaire fix tures, transformers and 21,000 lumen lamps. The city has budgeted for the next fiscal year $7,800 but has oth er funds which might be diverted for this purpose, if the council sees fit. Sower Estimates Made A preliminary survey has been made, at the request of the resi dents, as to sewers in Millers ad dition and hleepy Hollow. The pre liminary estimate places the C03t of sewers at $40,672, which is ex cessive, compared with the as sessed valuation of the area of only $58,373, according to a re port by Councilman Frank Ashley. Since some of the lots are val ued at considerably less than the cost of the sewers per lot, the cost could not be Bancrofted, un less the owners made up the dif ference between the valuation and the cost of the sewers. The re mainder could then be Bancrofted. The council committee will meet with representatives from the area to determine the procedure to follow. Books To Be Audited The council employed Leo F. Young to audit the city's books at a cost of $40 daily for auditor and $24 daily for a junior accountant, with the total cost not to exceed $750, the amount budgeted for this work. The council approved plans and specifications, as submitted by engineer Ben Irving, for the im provement of south Kane street from its present terminus to Har ris street. The work ties in with the improvement of Hawthorne Terrace. The city manager was authorized to purchase an asphalt spreader, within the limits of the amount provided in the new budget. This amount is $1,000. The amount of $100 from the emergency fund was voted toward a Fourth of July fireworks display, to be sponsored by the Junior Chamber of Commerce. A petition was read requesting the grading and graveling of the parking strip in the 1200 block on No. Jackson. The council deter mined nothing could be done at this tir except that the grass and weeds would be cut. Request for oiling of Maple Ave., signed by eight residents was pre sented. The council has no funds budgeted for this. The city man ager was instructed to inform the petitioners that the council would be willing to discuss with them means whereby they might get the work done themselves.

Lead In Atomic Weapons Can Ban Another War, Military Heads Believe WASHINGTON- Military planners are sticking to the belief that America'! apparent lead in atomic weapons can prevent a third world war. If one does come, they feel such a head start would play a major role along with toe rest of the nation's defense machine in achieving victory. But in conversations with a re porter they made clear they do not think atomic superiority will make defense cheap or easy. They believe that new tactical atomic weapons weapons usable against troops and their lines of communications hold the key to a defense setup which the west can achieve without spending beyond its means. In a radio and television broad cast, Gen. J. Lawton Collins, army chief of staff, said that atomic weapons for use by the army "most assuredly can be develop ed." He declared the army is doing a great deal of work toward develop ing weapons that it can use with atomic materials. And he added that it is "by no means impossible" to develop an artillery piece that will fire an atomic weapon, or guided missiles which could carry an atomic war head. The Associated Press has receiv ed authoritative information that such weapons already have been developed. Russia Believod Lagging Referring obviously to Russia, but without mentioning that coun try by name, Collins said: "We don't believe the enemy would have these weapons because there is a limit to his industrial capacity and his research and de velopment field. We think that we can and are keeping ahead of him." Apparently, the United Slates had a lead of slightly more than FOR . . . SERVICE . . . EXPERIENCE . . . CO-OPERATION . . .

GYRO MMC IOWIST-PRICIO AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION Med$k mt txtrt Co CO. o Main four years in production of the first atomic bomb. The first bomb exploded in a New Mexico desert on July 16, 1945. Not until Septem ber 23, 1949, did President Truman announce that an atomic explosion bad occurred in Russia. Converting this apparent lead into more effective military strength by the time Russia has a substantial stockpile of atom bombs is the military planners' prime objective. No one knows ex actly when Russia will have such stockpile, but it is widely expected to be within two to five years. Collins mentioned atomic bombs and other new weapons as a means of "making it practicable for west ern Europe to defend itself, with certain aid from us, within the economic possibilities of European to raise the necessary forces."
