Hope Of Settlement Dashed
In General Motors Strike
DETROIT (AP)-Hope vanished
today that General Motors Corp.
and the United Auto Workers Un
ion could reach agreement by
Thursday on a new contract and
end crippling local-level strikes
that have closed more than 90 GM
plants.
The UAW, however, ordered all
local unions which already have
reached at-the-plant agreements
to go back to work, and it told
others to end strikes as quickly
as they reach settlements.
Hope of settlement was dashed
when the UAW called off a sched
uled 2 p.m. Thursday meeting of
its General Motors Conference,
which had been called to wrap up
a new three-year contract with the
world's largest automaker.

Monoging
The UAW said, In effect, there
was no possibility of getting a suf
ficient number of at-the-plant
agreements by Thursday where
siriKes are in progress.
The union urged intensification
of local-level bargaining "to reach
sensible and satisfactory solutions
to local problems at the earliest
possible date." It said the GM
conference meeting was being de
layed to permit local union offi
cers to remain at their plant bar
gaining tables.
More than 90 plants out of GM's
129 were idled by strikes in sup
port of local-level working agree,
mcnt demands.
Local ! e v e 1 agreements have
been worked out at 43 GM plants
since walkouts began at 10 a.m
Monday. None of the plants had
gotten back in operation by Tues
day night.
New Models Halted
The strikes completely shut off
the flow of new 1962 model cars
which had just started to come in
volume from assembly lines of
the highly integrated GM empire.
The GM conference was post
poned to a date and time to be
announced later. The meeting had
been considered, in effect, a dead
line for local-level settlements.
Some sources expressed the
opinion the conference meeting
was delayed because locals of pos
sibly a majority of the 280 mem
bers had not yet settled. Majority
vote rules in the conference.
Spokesmen for GM declined any
immediate comment on the delay
or its possible effects upon nation
al negotiations.
Thirty-six plants continued In
operation Tuesday. Some local
agreements had been reached pri
or to Monday. Others operated
while negotiations progressed, but

East Myrtle Water
Charge Protested
Water service, its problems and
progress took the attention of the
Myrtle Creek City Council Tuesday
night.
Coy Short, Roseburg, protested
a water assessment in East Myr
tle. He has several lots in Herman
Addition platted as average sized
and one of B'-'j acres.
The large lot, Short contended,
is not a building site due to a
large knoll in its area. With the
assessment based on square foot
age of the lots, the large lot would
be assessed $2,000.
The council wished to examine
the property and study the prob
lem before making any decision,
according to Lorraine Birenbaum,
News-Review correspondent.
City Engineer Don Martin, said
water lines being installed in the
East Myrtle area, recently annex
ed by the city, is 19 per cent com
plete and on schedule. Target date
for completion was set as Oct. 21.
The request of Bob Hall to ac
quire city water for his property
lying outside the city was tabled.
The request was made to the coun
cil last month and was tabled then
also.
Myrtle Creek resident, Eddie
Stevenson, building some homes in
East Myrtle asked the city to build
a street for them. However, the
city attorney said the building of
streets to service the homes was
the builder's responsibility. If such
a street is constructed and dedi
cated., the city will maintain it, he
said.
A street light on Lillian and E.
Myrtle will be moved by council
order. The street committee found
that it was outside the city limits
and services no homes.

Tornadoes Kill
5 Louisianans
JONESBORO, La. (AP)-Three
days of Hurricane Carla-spawned
tornado terror left at least five
known dead, others possibly miss
ing and heavy property damage
through Louisiana today.
A rash of tornadoes began strik
ing the state last Sunday. Few
touched ground, but one killed
four-week-old Nancy Ann Simon,
the first victim of Carla, when it
struck Kaplan.
Tornadoes harassed the state
Monday at Indian Village, St. Joe

As Carla spun northeastward
through Texas Tuesday, a killer
twister struck the Jonesboro
Hodge section of north-central
Louisiana.
Four persons were killed and at
least 30 were injured. Damages
were estimated near a quarter
million at Hodge.
Tornado damages throughout
the state approached near $2 mil
lion. National Guardsmen, Jackson
Parish sheriff's deputies and
state troopers searched the ruins
of Hodge's Negro section through
the night.
All four pe 'Sons killed were Ne
groes, Sam Rushing, 63; Ora
Cage, 38; Craig Anderson, 3; and
his brother, Calvin, four months.
The two Anderson boys were
alone in their home when the
twister hit, flattening the house.
The bodies of the boys were found
500 yards .'.way.
One Negro woman said she saw
a neighbor. Mrs. Cage, and
little girl standing across the
street. Moments later, she said,
the woman and her child were
gone. The woman's body was
found a quarter-mile away on a

Contradictory Al Trial
Charged In Child Slaying
her daughter over the cliff.
The mother said Miss Freeman
wanted the two children out of the
way because they were interfer
ing with the two women's life
together.
Children In The Way
"She wanted to do it, they were
in her way," said Mrs. Nunez,
answering the prosecution's ques
tions clearly and softly, with no
apparent show of emotion.
"She was the boss," said Mrs.
Nunez, describing her relationship
with the defendant. "She told me
what she wanted to do and that
was that."
Mrs. Nunez told this story of
the slaying:
Miss Freeman and she left Oak
land, Calif., May 10, arriving the
next morning at Peter Skene Og
den State Park, where there is
almost a sheer drop to the bottom
of the gorge. Miss Freeman told
her to walk away until she
couldn't see the car.
Mrs. Nunez came back to the
car about 15 or 20 minutes later
to find Larry lying in the front
seat. Miss Freeman picked him
up, walked over to the ledge and
threw him over.
Girl Thown Into Gorge
The mother told the court she
then carried Martha to the cliff
and threw her into the gorge.
Mrs. Nunez denied choking,
mutilating or hitting either child.
Defense attorneys challenged
the admissibility of Mrs. Nunez'
testimony on the grounds she had

E. Germans Claim
Berliners Kidnaped
BERLIN (AP) Communist
East Germany's news agency
claimed today that East Germans
are being kidnaped and taken out
of West Berlin in U.S.V military
planes.
The accusation, promptly denied
by Westerners, followed Commu
nist statements that the Western
powers are misusing the three air
corridors between West Berlin
and the Western world.
The news agency, ADN, assert
ed that desperate East Germans,
had ' thrown themselves to the
ground at airports and shouted:
"I don't want to be kidnaped."
There had been several strug
gles and some people were
dragged into the planes, it
charged.
The East German report close
ly followed a prediction by a
spokesman for Mayor Willy Bran
dt's West Berlin government. He
said that the Communists intend
ed to plant people among refugees
to make a disturbance of the kind
described.
A spokesman for Pan American
World Airways, which carries
most of the traffic in and out of
Berlin, said: "I can guarantee you
that there have been no such in
cidents, today or any other day."
