Preliminary census figures re leased showed New Boston dropped in population from 6,024 in 1940 to 4,750 this year. A "city needs to have 5,000 persons to qualify in that cate gory. Because it fell below that minimum, New Boston stands to lose two councilmen, its city solici tor, health board and relief of fice but not until 1952 when their terms expire. It will also cut police men ana nremen oil civil service and probably throw their pension plans into the courts for a test of their validty. Accord Averts British Columbia Loggers' Strike VANCOUVER, B. C, June 15 (CP) A strike threat was lifted today from coastal timber stands, backbone of British Columbia's ec onomy, when representatives of 32, 000 coastal loggers agreed to con tract proposals. Agreement came none too soon. Loggers and millworkers were due to start walking out at the begin ning of first day shifts. Settlement was announced at 12:30 a. m. (PDT), The International Woodworkers of America (C.I.O.-C.C.L.) lost its down-the-line fight for a union ship. But the loggers and millworkers did win wage increases the 163 operators estimate will cost $7,000, 000 a year. The I. W. A. accented what oner. ators said was their "final offer" 12V4 cents an hour pay increase, maintenance of membershin clause and a five-day, 40-hour work ween. Original I.W.A. demands and the union stuck by them to the last minute were the content ious union shop, a 17-cents-an-hour salary hike and the five-day, 40- hour week. The pay boost brings the basic rate in the industry to about $1.20 an nour.

Half a dozen newspapers ana radio reporters, with a photogra pher, were denied access to the cell to see if the microphone were there, cniet Deputy neu jons mu it wnulri not be orooer and dis trict attorney DeWitt Jones agreed. They offered to let the attorneys, but not the press, in. The district attorney, asxea u there was a microphone in the cell, said that he had no record ings of conversations in the cell and that no testimony based on any listening devices would be intro duced into the trial. The Wilson brothers, charged with the kidnap-slaying of Jo Ann Dewey here last March, earlier to day had told a reporter about the microphone, Tney said tney naa been suspicious for some time and Turman said that Sunday he found a microphone concealed in a venti lator. He said that using a spoon as a screw driver, he removed a screen on the ventilator and saw the ml- croohone. Utah said that a montn ago ne stook in his cell and rapidly worked the zipper on his coveralls. That slight sound, he said, brought a jailor to his cell in a matter of moments ana ne was searcnea, That, he told the reporter, con vinced him his suspicions were correct and the search for the mi crophone then was made. Goodman and Sanford Clement, attorneys for the Wilson brothers, called the press conference today to tell their story of the micro phone. They said It was in place as recently as this morning, and had been in the cell during times the Wilson brothers were allowed to have visitors and when the pri soners conferred with their attor neys.

Mayor Flegel told the group yesterday it is not definite whether tne existing ordinance win be thrown out. However, he said, some sort of ordinance will be voted upon. The matter was Drougnt to a head at the last council meeting when Roland West protested pay ing the required $100 license fee, while neighboring businesses were not required to do so. West runs a laundry concern located outside the city limits. According to the ordinance, such a concern must pay the $100 fee if 'salesmen or agents conduct door-to-door solici tation. A legal explanation of the or- inance was given merchants by City Attorney Paul Geddes, who said the rule was designed to ap ply to all persons or concerns so- iciting from place to place witnin the city limits. He said different licensing fees apply to the various types of business in which appli cant 'are engaged, but that cer tain stipulations must be complied with by. all concerns, local or otherwise. Geddes said applicants are asked for a health certificate to indi cate they are free of communi cable diseases, photographs of all salesmen or agents must be sub mitted and each applicant is in vestigated by the city police de partment. The license is then granted following payment of the tees. A solicitor's fee of $1 applies to 11 representatives of businesses located within the city and also to established local concerns, Ged des said. Certain fee exemptions are noted in the cases of chari table organizations, businesses in volving interstate commerce and wholesale salesmen, but these must comply with the remainder of the ordinance.

Opening statements by rival at torneys gave widely varying pic tures of the brothers, accused of killing 18-year-old Jo Ann Dewey on March 19. The prosecution viewed them as crime-hardened youths both have criminal records who grabbed the girl, apparently intending to rape her. There was evidence of a sex act, but the girl apparently breathed exhaust fumes in the get away car and died almost within an hour of abduction, prosecutor DeWitt Jones said. He added the Wilson brothers' actions immediately became sus picious, iney went into hiding and finally fled to California, where they were arrested Tour days after the girl's body was found near Here Jones said. Not so. countered defense attor ney Irvin Goodman. He pictured the Wilsons as youths who went astray before the age of 16. but who were trying to go straight only to una tney were hounded by pol ice at every turn.

Goodman said Mr. and Mrs. Goodman of Silverton would testify they saw the brothers in Silverton as late as dinner-time March 19. The Goodmans own the property where Mose Wilson, father of the two accused, lives in a trailer. The brothers then drove to Port land, ate and saw a double-bill movie.
