Moslems Battle Riot Squads In Support Of Algerian Rebs ALGIERS (AP) Moslems staged a 24-hour general strike and battled French riot squads in manv communities of Algeria to- day to show support for the rebel government and protest against a French threat to partition the country. Unofficial sources said 13 per. sons were killed and about SO wounded. Arabs and other North Africans some armed with clubs and knives, fought French police and soldiers, who responded with rifle fire and tear gas. Moslems were enraged at the Idea that they might be relegated to the arid interior of this North African territory while the million European settlers took over all the rich and fertile coast. The Strikers were demonstrate Contractors Fire Union Engineers PORTLAND (AP) A spokes man for the Associated General Contractors said today that most contractors in Oregon and South western Washington had laid off members of the Hoisting and Portable Engineers Union. The AGC last week suggested the layoff program as a retaliation for the union's picketing of eight construction projects in uomn western Washington. A. M. Harding, manager of the ' Portland chapter of the AGC, said in a statement released by a Port land public relations firm that preliminary reports Indicate that most contractors in the area have accepted the AGC suggestion to lay off the engineers. He said also that preliminary reports indicate that work is continuing at a suo stanticl number of construction projects without engineers. The union, made up of 5,000 em nloves who operate big construe- tion machinery, and the AGC have failed in several months of negoti ation to reach agreement . on a new contract, On June 26, the union began throwing up picket lines in South western Washington. No pickets were reported in Oregon through Tuesday. The AGC has advised Its mem zbers to tell other unions that work will be continued whenever pos sible and that employes were be ing directed to report for work. The Multnomah County Labor Council said It had taken no action on the dispute. - t Officials of the Hoisting and Portable Engineers Union de clined to comment on the situa tion.

Employment Rise Is Predicted WASHINGTON (AP)-The gov eminent was expected to report today a jump in unemployment of at jeast a half million due largely to a record surge of teen-agers into the labor force. The flood of job-hunling young sters, including an unprecedented number of high school and college graduates seeking permanent work, was due to send soaring both the employment and unem ployment totals for June. Officials previously had said that "if only seasonal factors were operating the May idle total of 4,708,000 would rise to about S.S million in June with accompany, ing large increases both in the total labor force and in the num ber working at jobs. Roseburg Lumber Gets Twilight Meet Berth A scheduled playoff game for fourth place in the Twilight League Monday failed to .nalerializo after the record booki; were checked again. It had been thought three teams were tied for fourth place. If this were true, one team would have to be selected for this weekend's soft- ball tournament.

Shortly before noon the Algiers casbah, which had been ominously silent throughout the morning, be gan to boil with unrest. The twist ing alleys rang with cries of "Vive Ferhat Abbas" and the high- pitched "yu-yu-yu cry of Moslem women urging their men on. Troops and police in Algiers charged a Moslem mob at the fringes of the Bab-el-Oued worker district where some 300 demon strators massed, waving green and white rebel flags. Police used their clubs and the Moslems fought back with fists and stones. Major cities were all bi't para lyzed economically by the Moslem walkout. In Algiers, docks were idle, Moslem businesses were shuttered and public transport barely limped with only European crews and armed guards. But tough French Zouave troops roamed the city, forcing Moslem merchants to open their shops and prying up the steel shutters wnn crowDara. The strike was total in Oran's Moslem districts but was reported only 60 per cent effective for the entire city because employes in city offices heeded a government requisition order and scattered Moslem shops were open.

Local Firemen Make Clean Sweep Of Trophies At Recent Confab By BILL SPARKS News-Review Staff Writer (Pictures on Page 12) Roseburg's two fire departments, the city and rural, made a clean sweep of all the trophy competition at the recent state Volunteer Fire man's Association convention in Bend. The city drill team won the two fire hose exercises and the rural team won the water ball trophy. These contests are set up by the state Fire Chief's Association to serve as a test of skills that are required in normal fire-fighting ac tivities. Monmouth Dethroned Prior to the clean sweep by Roseburg, the titles had rested with the Monmouth Fire Dept., which had claimed the trophies three years in a row. All told, there were 16 teams entered in this year' competition. The first contest won by the Roseburg City FD involved laying a 2Vi inch line, making couplets and knocking over a barrel; then using a hose clamp to shut off the line, attaching a "Y" and put ting on a Vi inch line; then ex tending a 24 foot ladder, taking the smaller line up the ladder and knocking over a second barrel. The Roscburg team accomplished this in 1 minute and 13 seconds. The second contest involved sim ulating what a fire department would have to do if a line was broken while it was fighting a fire. The drill team coupled three lengths of 2V4 inch hose, knocked over a basket with a stream of water, and then one of the men went to the truck and returned with an extra 50-foot section of hose. The group then clamped off the center section, replaced it with the new section and knocked over ANOTHER BIG REASON No other wagon can match Fords features (or popularity!) T aw.- have all seats facing forward. There's more distinction. The Country Squire (shown above) is the one and only wagon in its field with body panels that look like mahogany, wear like steel. There are more savings, too. Ford's Ranch Wagon is America's lowest-priced, full-size wagon. And like all Fords, every Ford wagon is built to be more service free: goes 30,000 miles between chassis lubrications, 4,000 miles between oil changes, brakes ad Today is LOCKWOOD MOTORS, Inc. WmIci ORE AT OHOST TALE'S a second basket. This took only 1 minute and 27 seconds. Water Ball Win The water ball competition won by the Roseburg Rural FD involv ed pushing a ball down a line with a stream of water from a 2V4 inch hose, while another team tried to push it the other way. From the outside, this seems like nothing but a game, but in reality is high ly important to good fire fighting because it gives stress to the value of laying in a good steady stream of water and keeping it forced on a moving object. All, three trophies which came back to Roseburg were result of extensive practice by the two drill teams. Members of the city team were Jack Walters, Rex Jeffries, Al Has kett and Lyle Wescott, with George Thompson as drillmaster. Members of the rural team were Norm Ncal, Bob Tripplet, Bill Sul livan and John Cunningham, with Gene Mcrk as drillmaster. Randy Scott Shepherd Graveside funeral services for Randy Scott Shepherd, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Belt Shepherd, Glendalc were held at the IOOF cemetery in Myrtle Creek today at 10 a.m. with the Rev. Norman Naugler of the Olivet Presbyterian Church of Glendale officiating. He was born July 1, 1961. Ma ternal grandparents are Arvill Mil ler, and paternal grandparents arc Air. and Mrs. L. M. Shepherd, all of Glendale. Ganz Mortuary was in charge of arrangements.

SAVE very Thursday on NBC-TV, tht Shipping Operations Gain Today Following Slow Holiday Start NEW YORK (AP) Shipping operations began to perk up today after a slow holiday start in com plicance with a federal court or der halting the 18-day national maritime strike. Waterfront activity increased in many ports on the Atlantic, Pa cific and Gulf coasts. Officers and crewmen worked to ready passenger ships, freight ers and tankers for sailing. Chandlers, fuel oil and food sup pliers, customs inspectors, long shoremen, truckmen, tugboat op erators and immigration officers also pitched in to bring the dead ships back to life. The manual labor and the paper work began shortly after the court order was issued here Mon day night under the Taft-Hartley Act. There was no sign of defiance of the court by any of the five striking maritime unions. The order was directed also at other unions, whose members were not on strike but neverthe less were not working, and at sev eral employer associations. Deck officers, radio officers and unlicensed deck and engine room crewmen were ready Tues day to sail many ships on the East Coast. But the . ships gener ally lacked engineer officers, who are members of the Marine En gineers Beneficial Association (MEBA).

Members of the American Mer chant Marine Institute, a large shipowner group which has not yet reached contract terms with the engineers, said they believed the Meba was deliberately engag ing in "delaying tactics." They said the union wants as few un contracted ships as possible to sail before the court order comes up again for argument in further Taft-Hartley proceedings on Fri day. The MEBA and two other unions plan to have their lawyers ap pear here Friday before U.S. Dist. Judge Sylvester J. Ryan, who issued the temporary re straint against the strike, and ar gue against issuance of a per manent injunction.
