MARKET TIPS Plums, Grapes, Peaches, Nectarines Are Appearing From California Regions By LEROY B. INMAN Business News Dtpt. Editor Frtsh peaches, nectarines, San ta Rosa plums and grapes made their appearance in the local su permarkets this week, as summer fruit crops started coining on. All are from California, however, the peaches and nectarines from the Bakersfield area and the grapes from Coachilla Valley. Green apples are coming in from California, including White Astri kins. Winesaps from Washington are still available but in their last stages. Local strawberries, in abundance this weekend, will start tapering off shortly. There is little demand for rhubarb, which is about through for the season. Large oranges, still hard to come by, are higher in price than usual. The smaller oranges provide a good buy for the present. Lemons are in heavy demand with the warmer weather across the nation, but the price stays constant. Ex cept for a few Indian River and Arizona grapefruit still available at some market, Coachilla Valley is supplying the demand. This crop will be over soon, and, then the play will be taken over by what is referred to as California grape fruit, usually considered an infer ior variety. n J tm itiiuiuc fa nff with more fresh fruits available.

Cuba (APl-A fir ing squad executed Manuel Bea ton ana two accomplices at aawn today. The end came for the former army captain, his brother Cipria no, and Felipe Martinez a little more than 21 hours after a mili tary tribunal convicted them of leading an abortive revolt against Prime Minister Fidel Castro in the Sierra Maestra last spring, and killing a peasant militia leadef. Beaton who was 30 years old and his tiny band of insurgents were captured last week after roaming the mountains of east ern Cuba for more than six months. Five other members of the band were sentenced to prison terms ranging from S to 30 years. Seven youths were ordered to reforma tories until ' they reach maturity. One was acquitted. The three condemned men were accused specifically of killing Maj. Francisco Tamayo, an officer of Castro's forces who went into the Oriente province hills to persuade the gang to surrender. The executions marked the first return to action by firing squads to deal with Castro's enemies in five months. They brought to 560 tne unofficial total of those exe cuted during the Castro regime. Today's executions signaled the end of the most publicized at tempt at insurrection against the Castro regime to date. Beaton and his followers eluded pursuers for months after the for mer captain escaped from Ha vana's La Cabana prison and made his way to the mountains wnere tastro had begun, his sue cessful drive to power. 'P Thur., June 16, 190 The News-Review, Roseburg, Of. 3" Portland Clerks PORTLAND CAP) The threat i of a strike against 250 major food stores in and around Port land dissolved Tuesday night as 2,000 clerks accepted a new 2-year cuntract. The contract was approved by only a narrow margin, however, said Gordon Swope, business agent of Local 1092 of the Food and Drug Clerks Union. He de clined to disclose the vote. - The new pact with Food Em ployers Inc., a management as sociation, calls for wage . in creases, boosts in health and wel fare and an optional sick leave program. , Journeymen clerks ' those with 12 months experience will get a $4 a week increase, retro active to May 1, and another $4 next May 1. Head clerks and. produce de partment heads get a $9 a week boost $5 now and $4 next year. The employers also offered a sick leave program, under which leave would be accumulated on the basis of a half day for each month of work. The clerks can either take that or a two-cent an hour wage increase. Management also will pay more into the health and welfare pro gram: $13.00 a. month where it had been $10.40. Journeyman clerks now get $90.50 a week. Under the first phase of the 'new contract, they will get $94.50 for a five-day, 40 hour week. Only two weeks ago, the clerks turned down management's first proposal by a big margin, and gave its bargaining committee strike power. The committee said prior to Tuesday's voting that the latest offer was far short of union goals. " ' f ", Accent Contract Union officials said a second rejection would have opened the way for a strike. ) ' Made to pamper your cat they're not just flavors they're the real thing!
