Federal Mediators Join
Parleys In Search For
Ford-UAW
Selllemenl
DETROIT (AP)-Frderat medi
atori, acting as observers, today
joined r'ord Motor Co. and United
Auto Workers Union negotiations,
searching (or a settlement of a
strike that has shut down Ford
operations.
There was no immediate indica
tion of direct government inter
vention in the negotiations.
James Macl'herson, regional di
rector, and Pavid Tanzinan, ofj
the Federal Mediation and Con-
eiliation Service, arrived at the
bargaining scene. Their presence
was considered an indication of j
the government's concern over the j
strike and its possible effect on
the nation's economy.
Ford and t'AW negotiators
meanwhile maintained a tight tel-1
ephone check with local unions in
a concerted effort to get the com-1
pany back into car production by ;
the first of next week. i
Their top negotiators decided
Wednesday the best way to end
the strike that shut down Ford
plants from roast to coast Tues
day was to give priority to effect
ing settlements on working condi
tions at individual plants.

State Fire Hazard
Relief May Be Due
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Oregon may get some relief
soon from the high forest fire
hazard of the past week or so.
The Weather Bureau Office at
Portland, in its fire-weather fore
cast today, said rain would begin
to spread over Oregon from the
northwest tonight and there would
be much cooler weather by Sat
urday, with snow in higher moun
tains. The stale has been plagued by
a rash of forest fires since last
Saturday, when the deer season
started and some 200,000 hunters
headed into the woods.
There has been pressure
brought bv some groups to have
Gov. Mark O. Hatfield to close
the woods to hunters until general
rains fall, but Wednesday Hatfield
declined to do this, at least for
the time being. He said he was
awaiting results of a study of the
situation by state agencies.
The outbreak of fires tapered
off Wednesday hut one new blaze
spread over 200 acres of grass
and sage brush in the Malheur Na
tional Forest.
Navy Recruiting Office
Receives New Citation
The Navy Recruiting Office in
Ihe Douglas County Courthouse
this week won its third "Station
of the Month" award in nine
months.
Chief Delmar Ilorkersmith, in
charge of Ihe office, said Ihe
award was marie for the month
of September when the office en
listed 10 men one over the quota.
Also, the office re-enlisted two
men one over the re-enlistment
quota.
Ilorkersmith said the award was
based not only on quantity but on
quality, with several of the men
placing high on the Navy's rat
ing tests.
The award was made in the
Portland Recruiting Area which
includes 23 stations.
Second on the list was Twin
Falls, Idaho, third was J.ongview,
Wash., and fourth was Cnrvallis.

block of local disputes.
About half of the union's 85 bar
gaining units have completed set
tlements with plant managers on
problems as washup time, parking
lot and cafeteria lacilities, protec
tive clothing, overtime rotation,
choice of hours and seniority.
Failure to settle local problems
resulted in an outbreak of strikes
that crippled General Motors
Corp. for two weeks last month
before a final settlement wis
reached with the LAW.
Ford and the t'AW already have
s Breed on I money package par
alleling the CM settlement that
gives L'AW members an increase
of more man 1Z cents an nour in

Still to be settled at the national
level are the union's non-economic
demands. These include produc
tion standards, grievance proce
dure, skilled trades problems and
sub-contracting of work the union
insists should be done by its mem
bers.
Both Reuther and Denise are
striving for an early settlement
possibly by Saturday or sunaay.
