Kight other harvester plants have been shut down since Thursday by strike called by the CIO United Auto Workers, who represent 22, 000 workers. Announcing the KE-UE strike after a mass meeting Sunday, Ger ald Fielde, director of the union's harvester council, termed the com pany's withdrawal from a tenta tive contract agreement last week "the most brazen double cross in modern labor industry."

Reilly, Harvester's labor relations manager, said "the com pany has been and is willing to make very substantial wage in creases for employes." Fielde said the union now will settle for nothing less than a 15 ccnt general hourly wage incrase. Mrs. Marietta Mayborn .

S-244 Centennial Celebration Draws Hundreds To Historic Scottsburg New Methods Of Mapping County Forests Cheaper (Continued From Page Ont) may be determined. It is compar able to the methods employed by our armed forces to map large areas rapidly, accurately and at low cost. With this base map and the photos the cruisers go to work, planning and expediting the oper ation with these tools. From the cruising reports the timher vol umes and other information are compiled and put on record forms for the Assessor. Reference Value High A by product that will more than pay the cost of the photographing is a detailed base and forest cover map. When completed, it will be the most accurate, controlled map of its type in the stale. It will show roads, clearings, timbered areas, logged areas, types of for est cover, and man-made features as they appeared when the areas were photographed. This map will he used by the county assessor's office as well as other county de partments and, according t o Kleiner, made available lo the pub lic for a nominal charge. The cost of th eproject is further minimized by the employment of a small, but highly organized staff of nine persons. Under Kleiner, who performs much of the field work, is William W. Knupp, head rruiser, and cruisers Earl T. Clark, Herbert B. Smith and Gene E. Johnson. Mapping engineers are E. E. Given, Jack r. Bathrick and George E. Lipp. Miss Rosalind Randall fills out the staff as typist and stenographer. Long Task Ahead The project will he one of from live to seven years duration and will produce a complete map of the entire country except the solid block of national forest on the east. Aetna Iv this lust the first but most difficult-phase because ... ,. ,, . . of the continually changing timber picture. This initial phase will ter- minate with statistics on every acre of county and private land, ... . , .. with information as easily acces-j sible as the nearest index. Most important it will provide means for enuitable taxation of all types of forest properties in the county. Thus tax values will be based on a recent inventory which included all the important factors govern ing forest values. Death Ends Police Chase With Fast Automobile NEWPORT, Ore.
